Chapter 1350: Sharp-Tongued Arrogant Celebrity & Super-Rich Insecure Wife 26

On the day Jin Chen returned home, he received a call from Shen Shi right after getting off the plane, telling him to go directly to the restaurant to meet.

The reason was that Shen Shi and his Chief Executive Officer friend had an important meeting that afternoon, they had reserved the restaurant for lunch, and Shen Shi also wanted to see Jin Chen sooner, so he had Jin Chen come directly to the restaurant.

When Jin Chen arrived at the restaurant, he discovered that the Chief Executive Officer's partner was also there.

After exchanging polite nods and greetings, Jin Chen sat beside Shen Shi; the private room held only close friends, so Shen Shi had few reservations and almost flung himself into Jin Chen's arms in a hug.

"I miss you so much." Shen Shi buried himself in Jin Chen's chest, acting coquettish, his voice unconsciously softening considerably.

Jin Chen ruffled his hair, the travel-worn fatigue dissipating at that moment, a softness appearing in his brows, "What a coincidence, I miss you too."

No matter how many videos there are, they can't compare to an in-person hug and contact; if it weren't for the fact that the private room wasn't just them, Shen Shi would never have left the embrace.

Lusixuan rarely saw his friend in such a state, teasing, "This afternoon's meeting really isn't the time for that."

He laughed, but however you look at it, there's a hint of envy.

Anyong still didn't speak, absentmindedly eating while looking at his phone; the two were seated close together, yet there was hardly any interaction.

After glancing a few times and losing interest, Jin Chen withdrew his gaze, and at the same time as Anyong took the smart menu handed over by the waiter.

He ordered two steak mains, then asked Shen Shi what he wanted to eat.

Leaning against him, Shen Shi almost instinctively answered according to Jin Chen's taste, "This one."

Jin Chen tapped Shen Shi's forehead, "I asked what you wanted to eat—why did you order something so spicy?"

"Oh… then this." Shen Shi silently switched to a plate of sashimi.

"Fine, but don't eat too much raw and cold food," Jin Chen selected it.

Shen Shi shook his head slightly, "Eating a bit more is fine; I took stomach medicine before coming out."

"Let you eat it, and you'll feel awful when you get home." Jin Chen reached out and poked Shen Shi's cheek, helpless.

"Shen Shi, are you a child?"

Jin Chen felt that when it came to food, Shen Shi was no different from a child.

"You're the kid," Shen Shi finally could speak by age, "Then I'll eat a little less."

However you hear it, it sounds aggrieved.

Jin Chen's voice softened considerably; he raised a hand to gently stroke Shen Shi's ear, "Eat more of the main course, and when you come back tonight, I'll make you dinner, okay?"

Shen Shi blinked, instantly no longer downcast; his heart felt wrapped in a warm current, and he couldn't help hugging Jin Chen again.

"It's settled."

While Jin Chen waited after ordering, the situation across the table wasn't going smoothly, even letting him see a textbook-level … PUA.

Lusixuan still had some psychological disparity; while ordering, he was a bit dazed, and the side dish he happened to select was the charcoal-grilled small bones that Anyong doesn't like.

Anyong naturally nitpicked, escalating to: "Xuan-ge, you don't even remember what I don't like to eat now, and you don't care about my feelings on anything else."

Lusixuan rubbed his aching forehead, quickly said it was a mistake, and then coaxed him to finish ordering.

"I've been really busy lately, my condition isn't great, don't be angry."

Anyong snorted coldly, "I hope it's just a bad state, not some other ulterior motive."

Just as they were about to argue, Anyong suddenly grabbed Lusixuan's hand and squeezed it tightly, "How can you not understand? I don't want to quarrel here with you."

Lusixuan deflated, sighing and nodding.

After hearing that whole set of lines, Jin Chen kept glancing at Lusixuan's reaction.

This Chief Executive Officer friend's temperament is … kind.

Having heard the whole exchange, Shen Shi felt pity for his friend, and his gaze at Anyong was sharp as a blade.

During the meal, Shen Shi and Lusixuan chatted about the upcoming investment meeting and auction.

Jin Chen was focused on eating and feeding, when suddenly he heard the Bell Signal from across the table; Anyong had just answered the call and hadn't had time to turn off the speaker, and a very clear "older brother" came through.

Jin Chen looked up again to gossip, meanwhile feeding Shen Shi a bite of steak and then nuzzling his face.

He wasn't interested in others' feelings, but he loved to gossip.

Anyong hastily hung up, his panic only a flash, then immediately said, "My travel team's friend was joking; Xuan-ge, in a few days the travel team will start a new itinerary—could you sponsor it?"

He took Lusixuan's hand and gently stroked it, "Xuan-ge wouldn't want to see me out in the wild, wind-battered and sleeping under the stars, would he?"

What a fine move to seize the moral high ground.

Jin Chen again looked at Lusixuan's response.

Lusixuan withdrew his hand in surprise, somewhat embarrassed, "Next week is my birthday, and you're going traveling again?"

Anyong frowned, "I've already prepared your birthday present; besides, you have so many people around you, and I don't know those friends—what would I even do there?"

Shen Shi couldn't help but remark coldly, "You've been married three years, and you've never been present at any of your birthday banquets."

It's really no wonder he looks down on Anyong.

Jin Chen fed him another bite, and he somewhat understood.

No wonder, in the original plot, Shen Shi—who isn't his wife's soul—could endure the original self for so long without divorcing; it turns out there's this warrior to compare against.

Being able to make every sentence a dangerous remark is also rare.

Lusixuan put down his knife and fork, his voice cold, "Then who exactly was that 'older brother' you just called, and do you have any other relationship with them?"

"Anyong, don't underestimate my investigative ability."

Anyong clenched his back teeth, suddenly erupting, "Just ordinary friends—don't be so sensitive, okay? You're always like this."

"It's just going out to travel; your life with me is so boring—don't I even get permission to go out and have fun?"

"That person around Shen Shi is still a star he's propped up! The entertainment industry is so chaotic with all kinds of tricks; Shen Shi can tolerate spending money to keep him, why can't you?"

【Oh… we're doomed.】0731, while eating melon seeds, suddenly sighed.

Jin Chen, furious, put down his knife and fork, turned and tattled, "Wife! He insulted me!"

Unbelievable—these days you can even get scolded for gossiping!

Shen Shi's already displeased gaze sank completely, his eyes sharp, "Quite the confidence, comparing Jin Chen with you."

He didn't even bother to see what you are.

His noble aura was icy cold; his gaze toward Anyong carried the undisguisable contempt of a superior: "If it weren't for A-Xuan, you'd still be a waiter despised even by bars."

Since joining the wealthy family, Anyong has most hated others bringing up his past.

What the hell are you talking about!

Slap!

Anyong was dazed by that slap.

Lusixuan took a deep breath, could no longer endure; he had few friends around him, normally he could still deceive himself, but seeing his close friend's interaction with Jin Chen today, he finally realized what a healthy love truly is.

At least not like they are now.

Get out, divorce.

Jin Chen couldn't help but applaud, "Satisfying."

Anyong couldn't believe Lusixuan really dared to mention divorce, "You..."

Jin Chen casually threw a paper ball at him, shaking his head and sighing.

"What are you, you? Your existence is practically a challenge to human morality; is it so hard to understand to get out?"

Really, it ruined his appetite for dining with his wife.
