Zhang Te was already feeling quite bitter deep down. Maintaining a friendly deanor on the surface, he lightly joked, "Boss Chen, you really treat Mrs. Chen very well!"
"Of course, I only have one wife. If I don’t treat ngng well, who should I treat well? Also, I have to treat ngng extra well because both of us are already in our thirties. If I don’t treat her well now, in a few decades I’ll have turned to dust and won’t have the chance to treat her well anymore..."
Zhang Te felt like he wasn’t attending a business dinner, but was there to eat ’dog food’ (Chinese slang for witnessing public displays of affection).
He really didn’t want to continue the conversation about Boss Chen and Mrs. Chen, but Boss Chen always managed to bring his wife into the conversation. Therefore, he had no choice but to stick it out, "Boss Chen, you’re indeed a good husband. To toast your everlasting love with your wife, let’s have a drink ..."
As Zhang Te uttered the words "good husband", Jingnian, who had been sitting quietly at his side and not participating in their conversation, turned and glanced at him.
Zhang Te, who didn’t notice Jingnian’s glare, was pouring wine while thinking that by shifting the topic to drinking, Boss Chen wouldn’t continue giving him ’dog food’.
Jingnian, who had looked away, glanced at the untouched appetizers on the table, then picked up Zhang Te’s phone, took a photo, and sent it to Xia Wan’an via WeChat. Mimicking Zhang Te’s tone, he typed a ssage, "Madam, Boss Han wanted to ask which dish you would like? He said he’ll take it ho for you to eat later."
As he was done pouring the wine, Zhang Te picked up his glass and raised it to Boss Chen, "Here, Boss Chen, a toast to you..."
"Sorry Zhang Te, I can’t drink tonight. I promised ngng that I would drive her to the movies when we get ho..." Boss Chen picked up his teacup, "I’ll replace wine with tea. Thank you, Zhang Te."
At this mont, a thousand words welled up in Zhang Te’s chest. All he wanted to say was: Damn it!
Of course, he didn’t have the guts to say that out loud. All he could do was nod and laugh, "Okay, Boss Chen, I will drink wine, you drink tea."
When Zhang Te downed his wine, Jingnian’s phone beeped. He looked at the ssage, then pointed to two dishes on the table and calmly said, "Zhang Cheng, tell the restaurant to make another serving of these two dishes. I’ll take them ho."
After a pause, Jingnian added, "For Wan’an’s midnight snack."
Zhang Te felt a storm of emotion unsettling his heart: "..."
Damn it!
He just wanted to flip the table!
Wasn’t one person showing off his wife enough? Now there have to be two?!
Heaven should have rcy on him! Did these powerful n, who were wealthy and in love, really need to tornt him like this?!
Zhang Te, feeling indignation but not daring to express it, ekly nodded to Jingnian and said, "Yes, Boss Han, I’ll notify the kitchen right away."
Boss Chen asked, "Wan’an is...?"
Just as Zhang Te was about to explain to Boss Chen, Jingnian had already spoken, "My wife."
"Wife?!" Boss Chen looked surprised, "Boss Han, are you... already married? How co I’ve never heard of it? Is it recent? Boss Han, you kept it so secret, we had no clue..."
Jingnian calmly responded, "I’ve been hiding my jewel in my gold house."
