Yu Anwan’s unexpected return caught Wen Jin off guard and pleasantly surprised him. Not only had she managed to escape his security system, but she was also the renowned surgical expert, Professor Grace.
However, Wen Jin couldn’t shake the feeling that Yu Anwan had many hidden facets he was yet to discover.
A rather devious idea crossed Wen Jin’s mind. He wanted to gradually peel away all of Yu Anwan’s facades and have her stand before him without any reservations.
Through their recent interactions, Wen Jin had come to understand that Yu Anwan’s request for the production line was far from being as simple as it appeared.
“Are you hoping that I’ll beg you?” Yu Anwan sneered.
Wen Jin neither confirmed nor denied it.
“Keep dreaming.” Yu Anwan cut off Wen Jin’s train of thought. “If you have nothing else to say, President Wen, please leave. We have nothing substantial to discuss.”
Yu Anwan’s demeanor turned icy again. She didn’t even spare a glance for Wen Jin. Her message was clear, she wanted him to leave.
Wen Jin was still standing there, not moving at all. He was different from Wen Jin who was instantly enraged before. The current Wen Jin seemed much calmer as if he would not be persuaded or coerced.
Yu Anwan couldn’t do anything about Wen Jin.
This time, Yu Anwan simply closed her eyes. She hoped she could sleep, and eventually, she believed Wen Jin would leave out of boredom.
She was confident that Wen Jin wouldn’t stay by her bedside for the whole night.
If he dared to stay, she would dare to call him “Daddy”!
Yu Anwan was so frustrated that she felt smoke might as well be coming out of her head. She closed her eyes, not feeling sleepy at all.
Wen Jin showed no signs of leaving. He continued to gaze at Yu Anwan. Then, the sound of a chair scraping against the floor reached her ears. Wen Jin had taken a seat by the bed.
Yu Anwan couldn’t fathom Wen Jin’s thoughts.
“I know you’re not asleep, stop pretending,” Wen Jin’s voice finally spoke up.
Yu Anwan, who was pretending to be asleep, was speechless.
So, what if she wasn’t asleep? She was adamant about keeping her eyes shut. If Wen Jin had the guts, he could pry her eyes open!
D*mn it!
“You gave birth to a daughter for Zhou Shen. Why aren’t you married?” Wen Jin’s question was direct. “With your abilities, you managed to enter the Wen family. Dealing with the Zhou family should have been a piece of cake.”
The implication was a direct taunt about how Yu Anwan had used every means to marry into the Wen family.
Hearing this, Yu Anwan discarded her pretense of sleep and looked straight at Wen Jin before sitting up. “President Wen, we’ve been divorced for so many years, and Lu Nanxin has been by your side for just as long. Why haven’t you married her yet? Everyone in Jiang City’s media knows that Lu Nanxin is Mrs.
Wen.”
Who the f*ck didn’t know how to mock?
Did he think that Yu Anwan had just started?
As she spoke, Yu Anwan raised her chin haughtily and retorted, “Could it be that President Wen secretly has a lingering attachment to me, hence the delay in getting married? Are you hoping for a remarriage with me?”
Her words seemed to pierce Wen Jin’s heart, causing a twinge of pain.
However, no one could understand Wen Jin’s thoughts. Even when Wen Jin listened to Yu Anwan’s mockery, he was indifferent.
Still, Wen Jin’s gaze on Yu Anwan was unrelenting. He provided a straightforward response, “My grandfather doesn’t approve.”
Yu Anwan fell into a momentary silence.
Wen Jin added one last twist to the conversation, “But my grandfather did agree before.”
In essence, their marriage had already been decided upon.
Yu Anwan responded with a casual “Oh” and then spoke with a smile, “Well then, congratulations, President Wen.”
It was as if she genuinely didn’t take Wen Jin’s words seriously. To an outsider, it might seem like a friendly chat. It was probably beyond anyone’s imagination that an ex-husband and ex-wife could sit and discuss such a sensitive topic.
Tsk, who cared about the timing of the other person’s remarriage? What’s the big deal?
Whether it was due to the nature of the conversation or something else, the atmosphere between them suddenly turned chilly.
Yu Anwan closed her eyes once again, clearly indicating her lack of interest in continuing the conversation with Wen Jin.
Wen Jin remained standing.
The tense ambiance was finally broken when Wen Jin’s phone vibrated, bringing an end to the ambiguous atmosphere.
Wen Jin glanced at his phone and Shen Bin’s name appeared. Wen Jin fell silent for a moment and didn’t immediately answer the call.
The vibrations continued, annoying Yu Anwan. “President Wen, you’re bothering me!” she exclaimed, motioning toward the direction of the door.
Without saying anything, Wen Jin glanced in the direction she pointed. Yu Anwan, displaying a somewhat petty attitude, wanted to see who was calling. However, Wen Jin had already answered the call. Yet, Yu Anwan didn’t catch sight of anything.
Yu Anwan remained silent and closed her eyes again.
Then, unexpectedly, Wen Jin explained in a nonchalant tone, “It’s Shen Bin calling. ”
Yu Anwan was taken aback, but she still didn’t say anything. Wen Jin didn’t mind her silence. He had already answered the call, and he didn’t hide it from Yu Anwan.
In the instant Wen Jin picked up the call, Shen Bin’s voice came through, “President Wen, Miss Lu is experiencing a headache. The doctor is on their way to the villa, but Miss Lu doesn’t seem to be cooperating and she’s been looking for you.”
Shen Bin sounded somewhat exasperated.
However, Lu Nanxin’s strength lay in her selective use of this approach. She only invoked it during crucial moments, which was why Wen Jin always accommodated her.
Moreover, Lu Nanxin’s current ailment was a result of the aftermath of her past actions in saving Wen Jin.
Hence, Wen Jin couldn’t simply ignore it. He would have to return. “I understand. I’ll go there immediately,” Wen Jin responded in a detached manner.
“Alright, I’ll let Miss Lu know.” Shen Bin heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as Wen Jin returned, Lu Nanxin wouldn’t continue causing trouble. These people by the side wouldn’t have to endure overly painful days.
Soon, Shen Bin hung up.
Yu Anwan immediately understood what had transpired on the phone, and a mocking smile played on her lips.
However, Yu Anwan remained silent.
After Wen Jin finished the call, he looked at Yu Anwan calmly, “Stay in the hospital tonight. Don’t leave, got it?”
It was a commanding tone.
Yu Anwan paid no attention.
Wen Jin told her not to leave, and she was supposed to obey. Not a chance!
As Wen Jin’s words fell, he turned and left. When the ward’s door closed, Yu Anwan opened her eyes and gazed at the empty room. It felt as if tranquility had suddenly descended.
Yet, the lingering trace of Wen Jin’s presence remained, unable to be dispelled.
Yu Anwan remained expressionless as if she didn’t care whether Wen Jin had been there or not. She quickly picked up her phone and called Xiaobao, informing them of her situation and reassuring them not to worry.
Then, Yu Anwan idly played with the phone in her hand. Her lowered eyebrows carried a hint of profound meaning. When she raised her head again, she appeared considerably composed.
Soon after, Yu Anwan dialed Shen Xingyuan’s number.
Shen Xingyuan answered promptly, “How’s the news about the production line?”
