Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At the Zhou family’s banquet, Zhou Shen brought her came. Everyone present knew what this signified. They knew this might be Zhou Shen’s true lover.
Everyone could not help but be curious about the identity of the woman that Zhou Shen had brought with him. One had to know that the Zhou family placed great emphasis on matching families. If Zhou Shen dared to bring her back so brazenly, this woman must have some abilities.
However, no matter how hard they thought, they could not figure out Yu Anwan’s identity.
Everyone looked at each other.
However, everyone here was smart and quickly hid their emotions. When they greeted Zhou Shen, they were also polite to Yu Anwan.
“President Zhou, who is this?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.
Zhou Shen proudly replied, “My girlfriend.’
He thought Yu Anwan had agreed, and with everything that had happened before, Zhou Shen was very confident.
Yu Anwan rolled her eyes silently in her heart when she heard what Zhou Shen said. Just as she was about to speak, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet.
The conversation abruptly halted.
Yu Anwan turned her gaze toward the disturbance. Enemies truly crossed paths at the most unexpected times.
It was Wen Jin and Lu Nanxin.
While it was expected for Wen Jin to receive an invitation to the Zhou family’s event, Yu Anwan knew that he despised such social gatherings. Wen Jin was someone who hated socializing.
But now, Wen Jin had taken the initiative to come.
However, Yu Anwan didn’t dwell on Wen Jin’s motives. In fact, within the next moment, she retracted her gaze.
However, the moment Yu Anwan retracted her gaze, Wen Jin’s gaze had already landed on her without blinking.
Especially the way Yu Anwan was holding Zhou Shen’s arm, which made Wen Jin feel a lot more irritated.
The label of being promiscuous was harshly stabbed into Yu Anwan by Wen Jin.
However, seeing Yu Anwan smiling at Zhou Shen made Wen Jin uneasy. Why?
How could a woman who had shared his bed so readily smile at another man? Wen Jin even felt as if he had been played by Yu Anwan!
D*mn it!
The sensation was overwhelmingly unpleasant.
When Wen Jin noticed Yu Anwan, Lu Nanxin naturally noticed as well. Lu Nanxin tightened her grip on Wen Jin’s arm as if she was reminding Wen Jin. Lu Nanxin was well aware that since entering the venue, Wen Jin’s gaze had been firmly fixated on Yu Anwan, without any attempt at concealment.
“Jin, we’re going in,” Lu Nanxin whispered.
“Sure,” Wen Jin replied.
With that, he redirected his attention and glanced down at Lu Nanxin. Her cheeks reddened slightly under his gaze, yet she obediently stood by his side, portraying the role of a supportive partner flawlessly.
Wen Jin’s arrival attracted a multitude of individuals eager to forge connections.
Upon spotting Lu Nanxin, they naturally addressed her as “Mrs. Wen” and coaxed her very well.
Wen Jin remained silent, implicitly acknowledging this form of address. Lu Nanxin felt an overwhelming sense of pride.
As the crowd dispersed, Lu Nanxin, still holding onto Wen Jin’s hand, casually initiated a conversation, “Jin, I’ve noticed that Zhou Shen and Miss Yu seem to have a good relationship. This is the first time Zhou Shen has brought a woman back to the Zhou family. Does this mean their relationship is official? Could good news be on the horizon?”
She was testing Wen Jin, but her words were smooth on the surface.
With Lu Nanxin’s words barely uttered, Wen Jin suddenly strode towards Yu Anwan and Zhou Shen.
Lu Nanxin was puzzled. “Jin, where are you going?”
Wen Jin’s expression remained impassive as he responded, “President Zhou’s relationship seems confirmed. Shouldn’t we offer our congratulations?”
This was far from a congratulatory expression. Instead, it carried a sense of division.
Despite the situation, Lu Nanxin realized that she couldn’t afford to hesitate. She promptly followed Wen Jin, although a nagging feeling told her that she might unintentionally be giving Yu Anwan another opportunity.
Lu Nanxin felt somewhat frustrated.
As for Wen Jin, his demeanor didn’t suggest congratulations at all. Rather, it seemed like he was about to intervene.
Regardless of the underlying reason, Lu Nanxin was determined not to grant Wen Jin and Yu Anwan any chance to be alone together.
In Lu Nanxin’s eyes, this was too dangerous.
She followed closely behind Wen Jin until they were in front of Yu Anwan and Zhou Shen.
Wen Jin’s gaze was terrifyingly dark, while Yu Anwan smiled and held Zhou
Shen’s arm as she took the initiative to greet Wen Jin. “Oh, it’s President Wen! President Wen even greeted me personally. It’s my honor.”
Honor?
She was simply unlucky.
However, Yu Anwan was well aware that this setting didn’t permit any display of audacity, so she concealed her temper adeptly.
Compared to Yu Anwan’s composed demeanor, Zhou Shen felt a chill run down his spine. He even sensed that Wen Jin could devour someone whole with his gaze.
That gaze was fixed on him, and Zhou Shen felt uncomfortable.
Almost instinctively, Zhou Shen turned his gaze toward Yu Anwan.
With a smile directed at Zhou Shen, Yu Anwan remarked, “Darling, I’m feeling a bit thirsty. I’d like something to drink.”
“I’ll get it for you,” Zhou Shen promptly offered.
At that very moment, a waiter approached, and Zhou Shen handed Yu Anwan a glass of orange juice. “Would orange juice be alright?”
Yu Anwan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, but she swiftly wore a beaming smile. “Of course, that’s fine.’
In truth, Yu Anwan was allergic to orange juice, and her preference leaned toward watermelon juice.
Therefore, Yu Anwan didn’t drink it. She just took it. It was just a show for Wen Jin to see.
Who didn’t know how to disgust people?
Wen Jin knew it, but she, Yu Anwan, knew it even better.
In the end, Wen Jin suddenly said, “President Zhou, Yu Anwan can’t have orange juice. She’ll be allergic. As her boyfriend, shouldn’t you be aware of
This single sentence prompted a shift in the expressions of the three individuals present.
Lu Nanxin felt embarrassed. Wen Jin’s words were an undeniable blow to her pride.
It was as if Wen Jin knew everything about Yu Anwan.
However, during the three years of Yu Anwan and Wen Jin’s marriage, Wen Jin unmistakably held a deep aversion towards her.
Why did it suddenly change?
How could Lu Nanxin accept this? She clenched her fists tightly.
Zhou Shen was embarrassed by Wen Jin’s words.
He had only taken it casually, so how would he know that Yu Anwan was allergic to orange juice?
However, Wen Jin’s statement further solidified Zhou Shen’s suspicion that Yu Anwan and Wen Jin’s relationship was far from simple. It was beyond mere acquaintance. So how could Wen Jin be privy to such intimate details about Yu Anwan?
Nevertheless, Zhou Shen understood that in this situation, getting angry or confronting Wen Jin was not the right course of action.
He would only be falling into Wen Jin’s trap.
On the contrary, Yu Anwan’s expression became a little secretive.
It was a fact that she was allergic to orange juice, but how did Wen Jin know about it? Yu Anwan thought that Wen Jin would never take anything about her to heart.
After all, in the Wen family, in front of Wen Zhanming, Wen Jin had often pretended to pour orange juice for Yu Anwan in order to flatter Wen Zhanming.
Now, this person could say this openly..
