Chapter 281: Aren’t You Touched by CEO Wen’s Treatment?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At that time, Wen Jin had left Yu Anwan in the Wen family, a place that was like a den of wolves and tigers, where she could have been easily devoured.
However, Yu Anwan proved to be resilient, much like a weed that thrived in the harsh Wen family environment.
It seemed that the attacks against her couldn’t penetrate her armor.
If the same situation had happened to Lu Nanxin, she wouldn’t have hesitated to express her grievances, and she would have been quick to anger.
However, Yu Anwan had never sought out Wen Jin, nor had she uttered a word of complaint.
This wasn’t just the case when facing Wen Jin, but also when dealing with Wen Zhanming. Yu Anwan remained composed.
Therefore, in such circumstances, Wen Jin couldn’t claim that he hadn’t noticed Yu Anwan. As he gradually paid more attention to her, some matters naturally started to occupy his thoughts.
He discovered that Yu Anwan was not as unaffected as she appeared. After enduring hardships in the Wen family, she would take public transportation to the market and enjoy a bowl of hot and sour noodles alone.
Over time, these experiences were etched into his memory.
Yet, these matters remained a secret in Wen Jin’s heart, and he had never shared them with anyone, not even when facing Yu Anwan.
Even now, in the presence of Yu Anwan, Wen Jin continued to keep his silence.
Yu Anwan observed Wen Jin passively, but he didn’t say anything more. Instead, he held her hand and silently guided her through the bustling market towards the hot and sour noodle shop.
Because it was an established eatery, it attracted a large number of visitors every day, not only from the local Jiang City residents but also from tourists who had heard of its reputation.
The place was always bustling.
The challenge lay in the fact that the hot and sour noodle shop had never expanded its seating area over the years. There were very few tables inside, so most customers either ordered takeout or stood by the roadside to eat.
Yu Anwan caught a glimpse of Wen Jin’s expression as they entered the shop.
From the moment Wen Jin entered, Yu Anwan could see the hint of disdain in his eyes.
It was true that such an environment was torture for a serious germaphobe who had grown up in a pampered environment. Moreover, Wen Jin never ate anything with such a strong taste, nor would he let his body be contaminated with such a strange smell.
This time, Yu Anwan said directly, “I want to eat here, not for takeaway.” It was clear that she was doing it on purpose.
Yu Anwan even added, “You go stand in line. After all, I’m pregnant and can’t stand for too long.”
She said it with such confidence.
In a typical fashion, she had denied her pregnancy just a moment ago, but now she was fully exploiting her advantage as a pregnant woman.
The line extended as far as the eye could see, stretching for dozens of meters at the very least. It would take at least an hour to make it to the front. Yu Anwan couldn’t believe that Wen Jin had the patience for this.
Wen Jin glanced down at Yu Anwan.
“Come on, Wen Jin,” Yu Anwan said with a mischievous smile. “If you want to pursue me, you need to show some commitment, right?”
She then made an inviting gesture, her demeanor unapologetic.
Wen Jin remained silent, his lips curling into a subtle smile. Such a gesture would be seen as sensual by anyone, especially given that Wen Jin was like a rare bird in this setting.
Yu Anwan intended to challenge Wen Jin, and he was well aware of it.
Without uttering a word, Wen Jin held Yu Anwan’s hand and led her toward the cramped shop. Fortunately, a customer had just finished their meal, so Wen Jin seated Yu Anwan.
“Wait for me here, be good,” Wen Jin coaxed.
Yu Anwan blinked in surprise.
He thought that Wen Jin was going to forcibly take her away and cut the line using a domineering approach.
But he never expected that Wen Jin would speak to her in such a gentle manner.
So, what was this?
Yu Anwan was momentarily lost in thought, watching as Wen Jin walked into the crowd. It was truly unexpected.
Coincidentally, Yu Anwan’s phone vibrated.
The ever-gossipy Sheng Xuanyin sent another WeChat message.
Sheng Xuanyin asked curiously, “Come on, tell me, is President Wen making any moves to pursue you?”
Yu Anwan fell silent for a moment after reading Sheng Xuanyin’s message. Then, she picked up her phone and took a photo of the queue, the crowd stretching into the distance.
Yet, even in this photo, Yu Anwan could still spot Wen Jin.
When Sheng Xuanyin received the photo, she was bewildered.
Sheng Xuanyin asked, “Where did you go? President Wen is chasing after you…
at the market?”
Yu Anwan replied, “Wen Jin is queuing up.’
Sheng Xuanyin was left speechless.
Now, Sheng Xuanyin looked at the long queue and quickly identified Wen Jin.
Yu Anwan replied, “Not sure.”
When Yu Anwan took a photo of Wen Jin, he seemed to have sensed something and looked in her direction. Yu Anwan remained composed, but she quickly lowered her head and ignored Wen Jin.
Wen Jin silently curled his lips.
Suddenly, Wen Jin began moving through the crowd.
From inside the shop, Yu Anwan could only see Wen Jin’s actions, but she couldn’t hear what he was saying to the people around him.
Wen Jin, who was originally at the back, gradually made his way to the front.
Surprisingly, no one in the vicinity objected, and no one accused Wen Jin of cutting in line.
This left Yu Anwan somewhat stunned and found it unbelievable. After all, in a place like this, people were queuing up, and after a while, everyone would become irritable. Those who attempted to cut in line would likely be physically confronted. No one cared who you were.
So what was Wen Jin doing?
Sheng Xuanyin asked, “Wanwan, aren’t you touched by how President Wen is treating you?”
Sheng Xuanyin said, “I dare say, if it were any other woman, she would be willing to do anything for President Wen if she saw him doing this.”
How could she not be moved?
If it were anyone else, it wouldn’t be surprising, but because it was Wen Jin, it was certainly unusual.
But Yu Anwan wasn’t paying attention to what Sheng Xuanyin said.
Because Yu Anwan’s gaze was fixed on Wen Jin.
Wen Jin had already obtained the hot and sour noodles and was walking toward Yu Anwan. People behind him seemed to be looking at Yu Anwan as well, their expressions…
Filled with blessings?
Yu Anwan felt uncomfortable.
Wen Jin’s tall figure sat down beside Yu Anwan and placed the hot and sour noodles in front of her.
Yu Anwan lowered her head to look at the dish. It was beef hot and sour noodles with plenty of pickled vegetables, which happened to be to Yu Anwan’s liking.
Wen Jin seemed to know everything perfectly well.
“Go ahead and eat,” Wen Jin said calmly.
Yu Anwan stared at the hot and sour noodles in front of her and suddenly didn’t know how to start.
Wen Jin didn’t rush her. He simply sat by her side. He didn’t mind the environment or the occasional bumping as people moved around..
