This time, Lu Nanxin turned her gaze to Zhou Shen, adopting a seemingly gentle tone, “President Zhou, it’s just you and me left.”

“Miss Lu, we aren’t that familiar, so there’s no need for such ambiguous words,” Zhou Shen replied with no intention of giving in.

It was an indisputable fact that Zhou Shen liked Yu Anwan. However, Zhou Shen knew Yu Anwan’s temper. If he married Yu Anwan, he would probably have to worship a Buddha. Coupled with Yu Anwan’s relationship with Wen Jin and Zhou Yangheng’s warning, Zhou Shen was not stupid enough to find trouble for himself.

However, this didn’t mean Zhou Shen was foolish enough to be manipulated.

Zhou Shen was well aware of Lu Nanxin’s intentions.

Looking to rope him in? Perhaps in the next lifetime!

Lu Nanxin felt somewhat embarrassed and stammered, “President Zhou, you…”

“If you have something to say, just say it directly. There’s no need to be so flirtatious. I’m not buying into that” Zhou Shen quipped with raised eyebrows.

Lu Nanxin had never experienced such humiliation before. Thanks to her association with Wen Jin, the people of Jiang City treated her with respect.

Except for Zhou Shen, who showcased his contempt and discourtesy quite openly.

Nevertheless, Lu Nanxin chose not to dwell on it. At least, in this situation, she wouldn’t engage in a battle of wits with Zhou Shen.

Composing herself, she spoke in a measured tone, “President Zhou, can’t you see what’s happening right now?”

“You mean Yu Anwan and Wen Jin?” Zhou Shen’s voice was teasing yet straightforward.

After a brief silence, Lu Nanxin didn’t continue speaking, as if she couldn’t decipher Zhou Shen’s thoughts.

Zhou Shen looked brainless, but when you communicated with him, he knew exactly where his bottom line was. This made Lu Nanxin feel extremely passive.

Before Lu Nanxin could say anything, Zhou Shen’s voice dripped with mockery, “Miss Lu, if you can’t even keep an eye on your own man and still expect others to help, you’ll lose.”

Lu Nanxin, who was bound to lose, said, “You…”

“I know Yu Anwan better than you do. When compared to her, you’re barely even a contender,” Zhou Shen grinned mischievously. “She’s raising a child on her own, and she’s even borne Wen Jin’s child. How can you compete with Yu Anwan? If she were willing, do you believe that Wen Jin would kneel and propose right then and there?”

While speaking, Zhou Shen dramatically gestured, “Well then, you might as well surrender!”

Lu Nanxin’s complexion oscillated between red and white at Zhou Shen’s words.

She was still looking for collaboration with Zhou Shen and was trying to provoke Zhou Shen and Yu Anwan. In the end, she did not expect Zhou Shen to scold her before she could even say a word.

Lu Nanxin took a deep breath. She didn’t know if it was because she couldn’t keep her face or because she was scared by Zhou Shen’s words.

Without further contemplation, she rose from her seat, “I’m sorry, President Zhou, for taking up your time.”

“Oh, catching an affair. Good luck!” Zhou Shen even struck a cheering pose.

Lu Nanxin was left momentarily speechless by Zhou Shen’s words. He then proceeded to ignore her completely, indulging himself in his meal.

What a joke. How many people could take advantage of Wen Jin? It would be a waste not to take advantage of him.

At the same time, before Yu Anwan could reach the corner, she felt a strong force on her wrist.

Yu Anwan frowned. She didn’t even need to turn around to know that it was Wen Jin.

“President Wen, are you planning to visit the men’s restroom or the women’s this time?” Yu Anwan asked directly, her expression cold. Wen Jin simply responded with an affirmative “Hmm? You decide.”

Yu Anwan, who was forced to choose, was speechless.

She glared at Wen Jin and wanted to shake his hand off, but Wen Jin held her hand tightly. This time, Yu Anwan angrily brought Wen Jin to the fire escape stairs. At least no one would notice.

Throughout this, Wen Jin remained silent, leaning against the wall.

Only then did Yu Anwan notice that Wen Jin’s forehead was drenched in sweat and he looked uncomfortable.

“You deserve it!” Yu Anwan couldn’t resist mocking Wen Jin.

Wen Jin’s affirmation seemed to say, “Fine.” He lowered his gaze to Yu Anwan. Though he appeared uncomfortable, his commanding aura remained unaltered, regardless of the time and place.

“What do you want?” Yu Anwan’s tone was neither friendly nor hostile. “I’m leaving.”

“Don’t go,” Wen Jin’s voice was naturally magnetic, with a tinge of weariness. He still held onto Yu Anwan’s wrist.

Yu Anwan stared back at Wen Jin and stated plainly, “President Wen, our bet doesn’t start until tomorrow.”

The implication was that she wasn’t obligated to play along with Wen Jin’s charade today.

Wen Jin didn’t seem to mind Yu Anwan’s demeanor. “My stomach isn’t feeling well. ”

Yu Anwan couldn’t help but chuckle, “If you’re not feeling well, President Wen, you should see a doctor.”

“Aren’t you a doctor?” Wen Jin’s voice remained calm.

Yu Anwan was rebuked, but she quickly came back to her senses. “I won’t treat you.”

However, Wen Jin’s grip on her hand remained steady, his fingers intertwining naturally with hers. Despite her efforts, Yu Anwan found herself unable to break free.

Wen Jin’s voice was faint, “You can treat Zhanyan, but you can’t treat me?”

Wen Jin arched an eyebrow, stating directly, “I am your man.”

“President Wen is Miss Lu’s man, not mine!” Yu Anwan adamantly denied it.

This time, Wen Jin’s gaze narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flickering as he looked at Yu Anwan. Subconsciously, Yu Anwan took a step back under his intense stare, a primitive sense of fear creeping in.

However, Wen Jin had no intention of letting Yu Anwan go. His tall figure had already pressed Yu Anwan into his arms.

He looked down from above and leaned his slender arms against the wall, pulling Yu Anwan into his embrace.

“What are you doing, Wen Jin?” Yu Anwan stiffened.

“Do I need to prove that I am your man?” Wen Jin questioned directly.

Yu Anwan’s posture became increasingly defensive as she countered, “At best, I’d call you a reluctant spouse before the divorce, and afterward, we’re just friends with benefits.

In any case, she couldn’t afford to lose in terms of her demeanor.

Wen Jin looked at Yu Anwan calmly. “Friends with benefits?”

“What else? President Wen, where did you put Miss Lu?” Yu Anwan asked.

Wen Jin did not answer.

Yu Anwan saw that Wen Jin didn’t say anything and instinctively thought that this person was guilty, so she also became arrogant. “So, President Wen, keep your words to yourself and don’t spout nonsense.”

Wen Jin didn’t get angry at Yu Anwan’s words. He just lowered his head and looked at Yu Anwan. His voice was low and magnetic, and he was practically right next to Yu Anwan’s ear as his thin lips brushed past her.

With a hint of bewitchment, his other hand had already grabbed Yu Anwan’s waist.

Yu Anwan squirmed uncomfortably.

The more she moved, the tighter Wen Jin’s grip became.

Yu Anwan heard Wen Jin’s unhurried voice close to her ear, “Yu Anwan, given your current stance, do you think you can prevent me from marrying Nanxin and gaining custody of Zhanyan?”

His words implied that he wanted Yu Anwan to appease him..
