Chapter 318: Pretending for Real?_2
...
...
After Ru Huan left the storage room, she took the elevator to the underground garage as fast as possible, rushed back to her car, and then collapsed into the seat like a deflated balloon, burying her head in the steering wheel and letting out a long breath.
Too stupid.
Why did she do such a stupid thing as to try and seduce someone without even figuring out the other person's background?
But before coming here, she had looked at the other party's résumé many times. It clearly said unmarried, so why did a wife suddenly appear so quickly?
Could it really be... an agreement marriage?
This kind of talk meant to fool young girls, Ru Huan would not only never believe it in the past but would be furious at the insult to her intelligence.
But when it came to this man named Ye Jiu, she couldn't get angry at all, and even uncontrollably wanted to choose to believe him.
How could this man's charm be so strong?
She thought she was just attracted to him at first sight, but could it be that she actually had fallen in love at first sight?
Sitting dumbfounded in the car, she thought over and over for a long time, unable to make any sense of it. As Ru Huan started the car, ready to go home, the elevator in front "dinged" open, and the man who made her restless walked out.
...
...
After receiving a message from Zhuang Yichen, Wen Nan didn't set off immediately. Instead, he first relocked the storage room door and picked up the half-finished work that Ru Huan had abandoned, starting to do it himself.
Hurriedly finishing the job, Wen Nan quickly tidied up and took the elevator down to the underground garage.
In the elevator, he brought up the chat box and saw a few new messages sent over by Zhuang Yichen——
[Chenchen (Wife - Limited Edition): It's already been 10 minutes.]
[Chenchen (Wife - Limited Edition): 12 minutes.]
[Chenchen (Wife - Limited Edition): Giving you a final 5 minutes.]
[Chenchen (Wife - Limited Edition): Final 5 minutes, no more.]
The last message was sent 10 minutes ago.
When Wen Nan saw the first message, he originally replied with "Wait a bit, I've got something urgent to deal with" but at that time the signal was blocked in the storage room, and the message failed to send.
It wasn't until he sat in the elevator that he saw that the other party hadn't received his reply at all and had sent several messages in a row, saying she'd wait for him for the last 5 minutes. But adding it all up, it had already been more than half an hour.
When Wen Nan arrived at the underground garage, he immediately spotted the familiar flagship A8L.
Quickly walking over to the car, Wen Nan wanted to open the car door but found it was locked, so he helplessly knocked on the window.
Sitting in the back seat, Zhuang Yichen looked up and glared at Wen Nan through the window with a hint of anger but showed no intention of opening the door or window.
Wen Nan helplessly looked towards the driver's seat and softly called out "Xiao Jun", and the rear window quickly rolled down.
Zhuang Yichen cast a slightly reproachful glance at Yu Shujun in the driver's seat, then looked back at Wen Nan outside the window, "Ha, you actually came? Not answering calls, not replying to messages? I thought you regretted it and planned to divorce me."
Knowing he was in the wrong, Wen Nan smiled and said, "Sorry, I had something urgent just now and couldn't answer the phone."
Zhuang Yichen glanced at him sideways, "What urgent matter? Sneaking around the office?"
Wen Nan maintained his composure and said, "Work, the leader made a request, forced to work overtime."
"Only just over ten thousand a month, and still 996? What a workhorse." Zhuang Yichen snorted lightly, "Afraid it's a female leader? Stuck in her gentle embrace, can't get out?"
Wen Nan did not try to explain himself any further, instead putting his hands in his pockets and bending down to level his gaze with the woman sitting in the car. He raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Chenchen, when we got our marriage certificate, we signed an agreement to not interfere in each other's private lives. You're not regretting now, wanting to… turn this pretend play into reality?"
As those words fell, Zhuang Yichen froze, her mouth forming a round 'O', and moments later, like a kitten with its tail stepped on, she began to panic,
"Humph, man, you're overthinking. As Third Miss Zhuang, I'm not interested in marriage. When I said agreement, I meant agreement; it'll never be real.
"Why I'm angry now, Ye Jiu, aren't you going to reflect on your own issues?
"I have always been the one others wait for, when have I, Zhuang Yichen, ever waited for someone else for even a minute?
"Yet I just waited for you for precisely 36 minutes and 25 seconds!
"If it weren't for Xiao Jun persuading me to wait a little longer, I wouldn't have had this much free time to waste on you."
Wen Nan thought to himself, if not, then why are you in such a rush?
But seeing her hopping mad, he ultimately said nothing, only looked at Zhuang Yichen with an exploratory smile, as if he were observing some novel small female creature.
Zhuang Yichen felt uncomfortable under his gaze, her cheeks puffing in anger, and continued her accusations, "I originally had an appointment for a water light needle treatment tonight, but because I waited over two hours for you, I missed the time. Their place is hard to book, no amount of money would get me ahead in line. To book next would take another three months, and by then, my face won't be white or smooth! With such a big loss, you better think about how to compensate me!"
After listening to her series of complaints, Wen Nan was stunned for a moment, quickly catching on to a keyword, "Over two hours? Didn't you just arrive half an hour ago?"
At this, Wen Nan unconsciously glanced at Yu Shujun in the driver's seat.
