Chapter 208 - 208: Wen Jin, Are You Trying to Provoke Me? Sure!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ever since Wen Zhanyan came along, these years, Wen Zhanming has been lukewarm towards Wen Jin.
Wen Jin, more or less, understood that because of Yu Anwan, Wen Zhanming had always blamed him.
Yu Anwan lowered her head and bit her lip, growing quiet.
Suddenly, Wen Jin’s well-defined hand grabbed Yu Anwan’s chin, forcing her to look at him.
Yu Anwan was momentarily surprised, not expecting Wen Jin to be so audacious in the courtyard.
“Anwan,” Wen Jin called out.
Yu Anwan blinked, not responding.
She was probably not used to Wen Jin addressing her like this.
In the end, Yu Anwan could only look at Wen Jin passively.
After all, after so many years of marriage, Wen Jin had never called her like this, not even in bed.
Yu Anwan’s stunned expression made Wen Jin chuckle softly.
Yu Anwan regained her composure and didn’t let this person bewitch her.
The man’s deep and magnetic voice quickly came forth, “Let’s just consider it for Grandfather. Come with me to pick him up. Grandfather isn’t in good health, and he doesn’t like Nanxin. Plus, Grandfather just had surgery, so I don’t want to upset him.”
Wen Jin paused. “You’re well aware of Grandfather’s condition. The operation was successful, but he can’t handle any stimulation. His heart isn’t in good shape.”
Of course, Yu Anwan knew.
However, Yu Anwan swiftly slapped away Wen Jin’s hand and looked at him with a half-smile. “Wen Jin, this is your family’s affair. Why should I cooperate with you?”
Yu Anwan thought that Wen Jin would be angry.
But what Wen Jin said next was even more unexpected.
“If you don’t like Nanxin and want to provoke her, isn’t this the best way?” Wen Jin raised an eyebrow as he looked at Yu Anwan.
He stated it quite matter-of-factly.
Yu Anwan was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter. “Wen Jin, you’re using reverse psychology on me.”
She never expected Wen Jin to bring up Lu Nanxin in the conversation.
However, Yu Anwan couldn’t let Wen Jin off that easily.
She and Wen Jin were like two trapped beasts, fighting fiercely against each other, neither willing to yield an inch.
Just as Yu Anwan’s lips were about to move, and she was thinking about how to counter Wen Jin’s words, her phone suddenly vibrated.
Yu Anwan instinctively picked up her phone, and Wen Jin looked over but didn’t say anything.
As Yu Anwan glanced at the caller ID, she recognized it was Wen Zhanming.
Yu Anwan had never changed her phone number. Returning to Jiang City was done openly. However, she didn’t expect Wen Zhanming to still have her number.
“It’s Grandfather’s call, ” Wen Jin said indifferently.
Yu Anwan rolled her eyes at Wen Jin before calmly answering the call without avoiding her.
“Hi, Old Master,” Yu Anwan initiated the conversation.
“What did you just call me?” Wen Zhanming snorted.
Yu Anwan fell silent for a moment before gently reminding Wen Zhanming, “Old Master, Wen Jin and I are divorced. Naturally, it’s more appropriate to address you this way.”
“Your divorce with Wen Jin is your business. Aren’t you Zhanyan’s mother? Zhanyan calls me Grandfather, so shouldn’t you call me Grandfather?” Wen Zhanming asked directly.
Yu Anwan sighed. She didn’t want to get entangled with Wen Zhanming on this matter for too long, so she simply replied, “Grandfather.”
Wen Zhanming seemed satisfied with that response. “That’s good.” Yu Anwan didn’t respond. She just stood there quietly, holding her phone.
“Have you been overseas all these years?” Wen Zhanming asked lightly. His voice still sounded somewhat tired.
“Yes, I’ve always been in London,” Yu Anwan replied.
Wen Zhanming nodded and inquired about Yu Anwan’s life in London over the years. Whatever Wen Zhanming asked, Yu Anwan answered in a calm and composed manner.
“I heard that you gave birth to a daughter in London?” Wen Zhanming suddenly mentioned.
“Yes,” Yu Anwan’s heart raced slightly, but she maintained her composure.
In front of Wen Jin, Yu Anwan felt neither guilty nor timid. However, when facing Wen Zhanming, she had to be cautious. Yu Anwan knew well just how shrewd Wen Zhanming could be.
“If there’s a chance in the future, bring the little girl to the Wen family. There are too many boys in the Wen family, not a single girl.” Wen Zhanming remarked quite naturally.
Yu Anwan agreed. To her, this was merely a formality.
“Anwan, this time, it’s thanks to you. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I might not have made it,” Wen Zhanming and Yu Anwan chatted.
Yu Anwan smiled. “Grandfather, you’re welcome. After all, the Wen family provided the funds.”
Wen Zhanming fell silent for a moment. “I also understand that Wen Jin has let you down. It’s understandable that you harbor grievances against the Wen family. However, Grandfather hasn’t let you down, right?”
“No, you haven’t,” Yu Anwan replied directly.
Indeed, Wen Zhanming had not disappointed Yu Anwan. In fact, he had shown kindness to her within the Wen family. Otherwise, Yu Anwan would have had a difficult time during the three years of her marriage to Wen Jin.
“Grandfather will be returning by plane the day after tomorrow. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. Since you’re back in Jiang City, would you mind having a meal with me?” Wen Zhanming made his request.
Since Wen Zhanming had phrased it this way, Yu Anwan couldn’t refuse as emphatically as she had with Wen Jin.
“Wen Jin is Wen Jin, and Grandfather is Grandfather. We don’t have to mix the two. If you don’t want to see Wen Jin, Grandfather can ask him not to come. But it shouldn’t come to the point where Grandfather disappears as well, right?” Wen Zhanming added quickly when he saw that Yu Anwan didn’t respond.
Yu Anwan held her phone silently, listening to Wen Zhanming’s words. From his words, she could faintly sense that this former powerhouse had truly aged. Even his voice sounded weary. Thinking about his recent surgery and Wen Zhanming’s frail figure, it was a far cry from his vigorous past.
In the end, Yu Anwan’s heart softened.
“Alright, I’ll bring Zhanyan along. He’ll be very happy to see you.” Wen Zhanming wisely avoided mentioning Wen Jin.
Yu Anwan nodded.
Wen Zhanming coughed lightly, and a nurse approached. Yu Anwan also understood that Wen Zhanming needed more rest.
“Grandfather, please rest well. Don’t overexert yourself. You’ll get better soon, ” Yu Anwan comforted Wen Zhanming.
“Alright.” Wen Zhanming nodded.
After that, Wen Zhanming didn’t say much. He probably hung up the phone because his physical strength had reached its limit.
Yu Anwan looked at her phone and stood there calmly.
Suddenly, Yu Anwan felt a strong force around her waist, and her entire body was pulled into a solid chest.
The familiar scent of lavender enveloped her.
“Wen Jin…” Yu Anwan furrowed her brows.
Before she could say anything, Wen Jin had already pulled Yu Anwan into her embrace, and they turned around so that Yu Anwan was facing Wen Jin..
