Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Wen Shulin’s Activities
"Mr. Jin, thank you for your nurturing and support towards Xiao Cheng."
Xiao Meier held her cup with both hands, using soy milk instead of wine, "I..."
"Careful, it’s hot." Chen Cheng steadied her back, reminding her.
Jin Baogen let out a hearty laugh, noticing the change in Xiao Meier, as an elder would.
He waved his hand, "Alright, that’s enough. It’s the thought that counts. Come on, let’s eat."
The two sat down again.
Jin Baogen picked up the serving chopsticks, grabbed a piece of golden, fragrant meat pancake, and placed it in Xiao Meier’s bowl,
"Try this, the skin is thin and the filling is ample, the taste is absolutely top-notch."
Xiao Meier took a light bite, indeed, the crispiness of the crust and the freshness of the meat filling intertwined in her mouth, leaving a lasting impression.
Chen Cheng also made himself comfortable and started eating.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, you’ve come just at the right time."
Jin Baogen put down his chopsticks and said, "There’s an event at CGG today, I was thinking of excusing myself, but it’s all old friends. Mr. Chen, trouble you, help me make an appearance."
Chen Cheng looked up, "Mr. Jin, rest assured. You trust me so much to represent you at such an important event, it’s my honor."
"Where is it?" he asked.
"Over in Changping, the car is coming soon."
Jin Baogen said with a smile, "I have to fly to Xuzhou today, no choice."
Chen Cheng nodded in agreement, "No problem."
Xiao Meier calculated the time, "Xiao Cheng, since you are going to Changping, then I’ll go to Li Dinger’s place for you. You handle Mr. Jin’s matters first."
Chen Cheng held her hand, "Good, pass on my regards to him, tell him I’ll come by later."
Jin Baogen said, "You won’t be coming back today, you’ll need to stay there for the night."
"Ah?"
A trace of reluctance flashed across Xiao Meier’s eyes, but she quickly firmed up.
She understood how important a career was to Chen Cheng and did not wish to be a stumbling block.
She smiled lightly, tenderly looking at Chen Cheng, softly saying, "Then take care, I’ll wait for your return."
"Xiao Er, you’re not mad at me, right?" Jin Baogen asked with a smile.
"How could I be? Mr. Jin, you’re sending Chen Cheng to give him an opportunity to broaden his horizons. It’s a good thing! How could I be mad at you?"
Xiao Meier quickly replied, "Mr. Jin, I am not a narrow-minded woman."
Jin Baogen nodded slightly, n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
"Good, with your words I’m relieved. A woman who understands to support her husband’s career is truly rare."
Jin Baogen smiled, "Mr. Chen, having you as his virtuous wife, truly is his greatest fortune."
Xiao Meier blushed with the compliment, bowing her head and giggling, a picture of virtuous grace.
Jin Baogen stood up, "You two carry on, I am going upstairs to change clothes and prepare to leave."
The two also rose, watching Jin Baogen leave the backyard, before sitting down again.
"Unhappy?" Chen Cheng sensed the slight gloom in Xiao Meier’s eyes.
Just a few hours ago, they were deeply affectionate, now they had to be apart for a night, leaving Xiao Meier feeling somewhat empty.
Xiao Meier shook her head, trying to appear strong, "No, I’m just worried about you."
Chen Cheng comforted her, "It’s just in Changping, not far at all."
"Then I’ll go back and pack your clothes later."
Xiao Meier thought she could stay a bit longer, "It’s chilly tonight, remember not to sleep with the window open."
"And..."
Chen Cheng, feeling sweet inside, said, "I’m just going to Changping for one night, not going far. I’ll be back at dawn tomorrow."
Xiao Meier tightly clutched Chen Cheng’s hand, "I know."
...
"Xiao Hai, take Sister Er."
After breakfast, Chen Cheng accompanied Xiao Meier to the car, saying, "No need to come to find me."
"Okay, Mr. Chen."
Xiao Meier took a deep breath, "Then I’ll be leaving."
"Go ahead, today is Li Dinger’s big day, as I’m not there, you’ll represent me." Chen Cheng pinched her face.
Xiao Meier acknowledged, then got into the car.
After the Land Cruiser disappeared from sight, Jin Baogen also came out.
"Has she left?" he asked.
"Just a moment ago."
Chen Cheng saw Jin Baogen’s driver pulling a suitcase, apparently really leaving.
"Then I’m also heading to the airport." Jin Baogen patted Chen Cheng’s shoulder, "Have fun."
Chen Cheng blinked, watching his figure entering the car, "Have... fun?"
The Land Cruiser also left.
Leaving Chen Cheng alone, standing in front of this Western-style house.
But soon, a black Alphard stopped in front of him.
The car door slowly opened, revealing a pair of long legs clad in nude stockings.
The person was Wen Shulin.
She was wearing a knee-length tight dress with a small slit at the hem, making each step smaller than usual, yet there was a swaying beauty to her movements.
"Mr. Chen, good morning!"
Chen Cheng nodded, "Miss Wen, good morning."
"Mr. Jin told me about this event, you’ll be attending."
Wen Shulin invited Chen Cheng into the car, "I originally wanted to send you an invitation too, but thought you had... a girlfriend?"
Chen Cheng noticed there was an insinuation in Wen Shulin’s words, referring to the recently departed Xiao Meier.
"It seems that Miss Wen has prepared many exciting things for this event. Next time, please do not hesitate to send me an invite, I will definitely attend on time," Chen Cheng said with a light laugh.
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen’s words, always so confident, so interesting."
Both of them got into the car.
Soon, the only sounds inside the car were the engine’s gear shifts and the slight tire noise.
Wen Shulin sat on the right side of Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng’s gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, fell on Wen Shulin’s face.
Her pretty face, under the changing light inside the car, flickered bright and dim, like the moon’s reflection in water, mysterious and elusive.
She slightly closed her eyes, as if resting or reminiscing about something enchanting.
Chen Cheng’s gaze moved downwards, her clean white legs gently crossed, the nude with red soles CL high heels were pointed in Chen Cheng’s direction, subtly moving.
The smooth insteps, wrapped in thin silk, glows, adding a hazy beauty and irresistible charm.
If one wasn’t aware of her preferences, such an exquisite and wealthy beauty would indeed be hard to resist desiring.
Wen Shulin saw his gaze fixed on her legs, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
She opened her eyes and turned her body halfway, "Mr. Chen, what have you been busy with these days?"
When Wen Shulin spoke, there was always a slight huskiness that was quite captivating.
"Cough, just running a small restaurant, life is quite passable."
Chen Cheng also crossed his legs, his gaze unflinching, spoke proudly: "By the way, I haven’t properly thanked Miss Wen for the generous top-up."
Wen Shulin smiled lightly, "Mr. Chen is too formal."
"I am a business partner, as well as a close friend in life," she continued, "Between us, money is just a tool for measuring value."
Wen Shulin leaned forward, a faint scent of tequila perfume drifted into Chen Cheng’s nostrils.
"Mr. Chen, don’t you agree?"
Chen Cheng said nonchalantly, "Yes, having enough money suffices. Otherwise, how much is really enough?"
Wen Shulin softly clapped, "I really admire Mr. Chen’s open-mindedness, not everyone can achieve that."
She paused, "So next time we cooperate, Mr. Chen, please go easy on me."
"Eh, business is business, personal relationships are personal."
Chen Cheng did not fall for her words, he countered Wen Shulin, "Miss Wen, don’t you agree?"
