Chapter 93: Tease
“Did she see ?”
Wen Zhi’s view was blocked by Shang Hexing, and from this cramped angle, she hadn’t seen ng Fan entering the restroom.
Shang Hexing looked down at her anxiously, “Are you that afraid of being seen?”
Wen Zhi looked up and t his gaze, “Yes, you, of course, aren’t afraid because even if you were recognized, no one would dare to gossip about you. But I would definitely beco the talk of the town.”
She was sowhat angry.
When she spoke, her cheeks puffed up.
Shang Hexing raised his hand and gently pinched her puffed-up cheek, coaxing her, “She didn’t see.”
Wen Zhi imdiately asked, “Really?”
“Would I lie to you?” Shang Hexing smiled lightly, removing his hand. “The only one seen was , and the only one talked about was . They will only speculate about which woman I am eting secretly here. They will also guess, which bold woman got involved with .”
Wen Zhi felt her face heat up and pushed him away, “Who’s involved with you.”
His words were becoming more straightforward.
Wen Zhi was anxious to return to the birthday party, lest Liang Yin co looking for her later.
She had just taken a step when the sound of high heels ca again, it was the person from the restroom coming out.
Wen Zhi was so scared that she quickly retreated to her original position, her hands incessantly pulling on Shang Hexing, “Block , quickly block , she’s coming out again.”
Shang Hexing assud a passive posture, letting Wen Zhi pull him over to block for her.
ng Fan had just gone to the toilet and hadn’t touched up her makeup, so she ca out quickly.
When she ca out, she specifically looked towards the smoking area near the greenery, knowing that the sound of her high heels earlier had been very loud.
Those secretly eting should have skulked away by now to avoid suspicion.
But she looked over, and not only had those secretly eting not left, they were still maintaining their original posture.
They looked exceedingly intimate.
If this were a proper couple’s relationship, they would be openly flaunting their love; why would they need to sneak around and be so affectionate in secret?
It must be a clandestine relationship!
ng Fan’s interest in gossip was ignited, burning endlessly. She peeked over there, but unfortunately, she could only see the man’s figure and not the woman’s face, nor could she see the woman’s clothes, hidden snugly.
Oh, she could see the high heels.
They were white, with lace bows at the tips, very delicate and pretty.
ng Fan curled her lips in a mischievous smile and quickened her pace to leave. She had to hurry and gossip with Wen Zhi.
At this mont, ng Fan returned to the birthday party with an excited expression, her gaze sweeping around in search of Wen Zhi. Rong Huaishen walked up to her with a champagne glass and asked, “Where did you go?”
“Restroom.”
ng Fan responded, her gaze never eting Rong Huaishen’s.
Rong Huaishen observed her excited deanor, “So happy just from a trip to the restroom, what gossip did you overhear?”
He knew her well; her other interests were average, except she loved gossip, and that little mouth of hers could really talk.
Once, Rong Huaishen had observed, when ng Fan gossiped about sothing fresh, she could talk non-stop for half an hour without taking a breath.
ng Fan glanced at Rong Huaishen standing beside her, “How did you know I overhead so gossip?”
Rong Huaishen: “It’s written all over your face, isn’t it obvious?”
“You’re talking nonsense, where is it written on my face.” ng Fan lightly touched the side of her face, then the next second moved closer to Rong Huaishen, “I’ll tell you…”
Rong Huaishen had no interest in gossip.
Other people’s affairs, no matter how colorful, he had no interest.
But ng Fan always loved to talk about it in front of him, even though he might not respond at all, sotis she could talk for a long ti, and talk with relish. After finishing, she would sotis scold him, “A pig can’t appreciate fine rice.”
The more she talked, as ti went by, Rong Huaishen found that he seed to be less resistant to listening to gossip.
By this ti, ng Fan had prepared himself to listen to the upcoming gossip from ng Fan.
However, this ti, ng Fan stopped talking.
He even took the champagne from ng Fan’s hand and scolded him, “Forget it, a boar can’t appreciate fine bran.”
“…”
Having said that, ng Fan drained the remaining champagne in his glass.
They were married, had been intimate, and had shared even more intimate monts. During the period he lived with her in the country, it was common for her to use his water glass, and Rong Huaishen had gradually shifted from initial dislike to indulgence.
But he thought that he was just too lazy to care.
“Didn’t you say before that if you don’t share the gossip you hear right away, it makes you feel uncomfortable?” he ntioned with a casual tone.
ng Fan turned and looked at him with a smirk, “Today I have Zhizhi, you step aside.”
Rong Huaishen, “She hasn’t even arrived yet.”
ng Fan asked aningfully, “Rong Huaishen, could it be that you’ve beco gossipy too?”
There’s a saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.” Although ng Fan didn’t like to describe herself that way, seeing Rong Huaishen’s keenness to hear her gossip, she couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Little did she know that such a remark would annoy Rong Huaishen.
His expression changed rapidly, “Don’t presu to know my thoughts.”
After saying that, he turned and left, his figure imposing.
ng Fan was infuriated and called out to his retreating figure, “Narcissist, who’s presuming anything about you?!”
–
Elsewhere.
Wen Zhi, after making sure the sound of the high heels had faded, imdiately erged from Shang Hexing’s embrace.
She first looked around, then turned back to Shang Hexing and said, “It’s clear now, Mr. Shang, I’ll go ahead.”
This ti Shang Hexing stopped her, “I helped you, and you’re just going to leave like that?”
Thinking it over, Wen Zhi realized it would indeed be impolite, so she said to him, “Thank you for earlier.”
“How sincere is your gratitude?” he asked.
Wen Zhi responded, “Of course, it’s completely sincere.”
Shang Hexing shook his head, “But I haven’t seen your sincerity.”
“Well, actually…” she pursed her lips, lowered her voice, and said, “I ca tonight because I knew you would be here.”
Shang Hexing raised an eyebrow, “Is that so?”
“Don’t get
wrong, Mr. Shang,” Wen Zhi continued, “ng Fan ntioned you this afternoon, and I told her Mr. Shang would also attend Mr. Tan’s birthday banquet tonight. ng Fan didn’t believe it, so we made a bet, and then… I ca here with her.”
She said it so earnestly.
It really seed plausible.
But what Shang Hexing was focused on was, “What did you talk about regarding ?”
Wen Zhi’s mind raced, “We talked about your… accomplishnts over the years, Mr. Shang. Did you know, you’ve always been a role model among your peers from prestigious families? Many regard you as an idol.”
Shang Hexing listened indifferently to her flattery, “Is that all you discussed?”
Wen Zhi nodded, “That’s all.”
Shang Hexing smiled, “Everyone blooms at their own ti; I just happened to bloom a bit earlier than them.”
At his words, a look of admiration for Shang Hexing appeared in Wen Zhi’s expression. He never belittled others and was also very modest; just this trait alone was outstanding.
She thought she had managed to steer the conversation smoothly and just had to sync up with ng Fan later to keep their stories straight and avoid suspicion.
But what Wen Zhi hadn’t anticipated was that Shang Hexing had already seen through her little stratagem and, letting go of her, said, “I presu ng Fan must have arrived by now; I’ll go ask her if it really happened as you described.”
Wen Zhi’s face imdiately turned sour, and she quickly stopped him, “Wait—”!
