?Chapter 93: Tease Chapter 93: Tease “Did she see me?”
Wen Zhi’s view was blocked by Shang Hexing, and from this cramped angle, she hadn’t seen Meng Fan entering the restroom.
Shang Hexing looked down at her anxiously, “Are you that afraid of being seen?”
Wen Zhi looked up and met 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 become the talk of the town.”
She was somewhat 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 immediately asked, “Really?”
“Would I lie to you?” Shang Hexing smiled lightly, removing his hand. “The only one seen was me, and the only one talked about was me. They will only speculate about which woman I am meeting secretly here. They will also guess, which bold woman got involved with me.”
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 come looking for her later.
She had just taken a step when the sound of high heels came 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 me, quickly block me, she’s coming out again.”
Shang Hexing assumed a passive posture, letting Wen Zhi pull him over to block for her.
Meng Fan had just gone to the toilet and hadn’t touched up her makeup, so she came out quickly.
When she came 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 meeting should have skulked away by now to avoid suspicion.
But she looked over, and not only had those secretly meeting 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!
Meng 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.
Meng 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 moment, Meng 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.”
Meng Fan responded, her gaze never meeting Rong Huaishen’s.
Rong Huaishen observed her excited demeanor, “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 Meng Fan gossiped about something fresh, she could talk non-stop for half an hour without taking a breath.
Meng Fan glanced at Rong Huaishen standing beside her, “How did you know I overhead some 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.” Meng 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 Meng Fan always loved to talk about it in front of him, even though he might not respond at all, sometimes she could talk for a long time, and talk with relish. After finishing, she would sometimes scold him, “A pig can’t appreciate fine rice.”
The more she talked, as time went by, Rong Huaishen found that he seemed to be less resistant to listening to gossip.
By this time, Meng Fan had prepared himself to listen to the upcoming gossip from Meng Fan.
However, this time, Meng Fan stopped talking.
He even took the champagne from Meng Fan’s hand and scolded him, “Forget it, a boar can’t appreciate fine bran.”
“…”
Having said that, Meng Fan drained the remaining champagne in his glass.
They were married, had been intimate, and had shared even more intimate moments. 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 mentioned with a casual tone.
Meng Fan turned and looked at him with a smirk, “Today I have Zhizhi, you step aside.”
Rong Huaishen, “She hasn’t even arrived yet.”
Meng Fan asked meaningfully, “Rong Huaishen, could it be that you’ve become gossipy too?”
There’s a saying, “Birds of a feather flock together.” Although Meng 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 presume to know my thoughts.”
After saying that, he turned and left, his figure imposing.
Meng 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, immediately emerged 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 time 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 came tonight because I knew you would be here.”
Shang Hexing raised an eyebrow, “Is that so?”
“Don’t get me wrong, Mr. Shang,” Wen Zhi continued, “Meng Fan mentioned you this afternoon, and I told her Mr. Shang would also attend Mr. Tan’s birthday banquet tonight. Meng Fan didn’t believe it, so we made a bet, and then… I came here with her.”
She said it so earnestly.
It really seemed plausible.
But what Shang Hexing was focused on was, “What did you talk about regarding me?”
Wen Zhi’s mind raced, “We talked about your… accomplishments 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 time; 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 Meng 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 presume Meng Fan must have arrived by now; I’ll go ask her if it really happened as you described.”
Wen Zhi’s face immediately turned sour, and she quickly stopped him, “Wait—”!
