Chapter 206: Why So Curious?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wen Jin suddenly turned to look at Yu Anwan.

Yu Anwan was puzzled by Wen Jin’s gaze but maintained her firm tone. “Did I say something wrong?”

With Lu Nanxin’s petty personality, how could she allow Wen Jin to do as he pleased on her side? Her silence could only indicate that Lu Nanxin was up to something.

Yu Anwan didn’t want to create any trouble for herself, so she felt the need to keep her distance from Wen Jin.

“If I said she won’t, then she won’t,” Wen Jin replied, not elaborating much on his relationship with Lu Nanxin.

Yu Anwan couldn’t be bothered to ask further, but her curiosity got the better of her. “Wen Jin, I’m very curious. What has Lu Nanxin done to make you so devoted to her?”

Considering Wen Jin’s status, he could have been a playboy. However, he had taken a completely different path. Instead of pursuing anyone else, he only had eyes for Lu Nanxin. Wen Jin could even soothe someone as difficult as Lu Nanxin.

Yu Anwan felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown just by looking at Lu Nanxin, let alone a man. Besides, she knew exactly what kind of person Wen Jin was. If it were anyone else, Wen Jin would have put them in their place for such behavior.

However, Lu Nanxin seemed to be an exception, and Yu Anwan couldn’t fathom why.

“Why are you so curious?” Wen Jin asked, raising an eyebrow and looking at Yu

Anwan.

Yu Anwan snorted.

Coincidentally, they arrived at the mini supermarket. Yu Anwan withdrew her hand from Wen Jin’s grasp and swiftly entered the store.

As she looked at the various bottles and jars on the shelves, Yu Anwan grew uneasy. She began listing different types of soy sauce, “Braised soy sauce, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, marinated soy sauce, steamed fish soy sauce…” Then she realized, “Oh no, what did Grandma ask me to buy?”

She was confused again.

Yu Anwan steeled her heart and prepared to take a bottle back with her eyes closed.

However, a pair of slender, well-defined fingers reached out and grabbed a bottle of dark soy sauce from the shelf before her.

Yu Anwan was taken aback.

“Grandma asked for dark soy sauce,” Wen Jin said, his tone still indifferent.

Yu Anwan quickly snapped back to her senses and glared at him stubbornly. “Of course, I know it’s dark soy sauce. It’s just a name!”

In any case, she wouldn’t back down. She couldn’t afford to make a fool of herself in front of Wen Jin.

Yu Anwan was determined to save face no matter what. Wen Jin didn’t bother arguing with her.

Yu Anwan noticed that Wen Jin had taken the dark soy sauce and stood up straight to proceed with the payment.

However, she had forgotten that the supermarket was already quite narrow.

Each aisle could barely accommodate one slightly plump adult. Yu Anwan and Wen Jin ended up blocking the entire aisle as they leaned against each other.

This time, as Yu Anwan stood up, she bumped into Wen Jin’s arms. Her head collided with his chin, causing some pain.

Wen Jin sighed quietly, nursing a headache. He suddenly wondered how Yu Anwan managed to survive those few years abroad with her child.

“Hey!” Yu Anwan instinctively turned around to scold Wen Jin.

In the end, as she looked up again, she found herself right in front of Wen Jin.

And then, they kissed.

Wen Jin raised an eyebrow, and Yu Anwan was left dumbfounded.

Nevertheless, Wen Jin chuckled and kissed her without reservation. The location hardly mattered as his tall figure enveloped Yu Anwan in his embrace.

Their prolonged kiss intensified within the confines of the narrow space.

At any moment, someone might discover them.

However, in such a situation, the tension and excitement only grew.

Yu Anwan was immobilized by Wen Jin, unable to move at all. Her initial resistance gradually transformed into longing.

Her senses were overwhelmed by the lavender fragrance emanating from this person, lingering and refusing to dissipate. It persisted to the point where Yu Anwan’s breathing became somewhat labored. Only then did Wen Jin release her and say, “Let’s go back.”

As if nothing had happened, this person acted nonchalantly. Yu Anwan’s cheeks grew increasingly flushed, and even her earlobes felt warm.

Her hand was still held by Wen Jin as they headed toward the cashier at the small supermarket.

“How much is it?” Wen Jin asked the cashier in a low, hoarse voice.

Yu Anwan noticed that Wen Jin’s voice sounded even more congested now, and he occasionally cleared his throat. She had sensed it during their earlier phone call.

With their previous argument, they hadn’t noticed, but now that they had settled down, everything became much clearer.

Yu Anwan remained silent as Wen Jin completed the payment. With the bottle of dark soy sauce in one hand and Yu Anwan’s hand in the other, they continued along the cobblestone path toward the small courtyard.

Suddenly, everything became tranquil once again.

Inside the courtyard, Cai Shufang was cooking, and Wen Jin had handed her the dark soy sauce.

Squinting her eyes, Cai Shufang confirmed, then nodded. “It’s fine. This time you got the right one.”

Wen Jin smiled and engaged in casual conversation with Cai Shufang.

“Grandma, did Wanwan always buy the wrong one before?”

“She couldn’t tell the difference. She often had to make multiple trips before getting the right one. The boss at the small supermarket by the entrance got used to it.” Cai Shufang candidly exposed Yu Anwan’s shortcomings.

Yu Anwan glared at Cai Shufang with irritation. “Grandma, what are you saying? I’ve bought the right one before too!”

“Okay, okay, you have as well.” Cai Shufang chuckled.

Soon, Cai Shufang stopped conversing with Yu Anwan and briskly made her way into the kitchen.

In the living room, Yu Anwan and Wen Jin were the only occupants. In the small courtyard, the two children played animatedly, laughing gleefully. Their spirits appeared to be high.

Wen Jin remained silent, merely observing.

However, Wen Jin’s phone kept vibrating. He glanced down at it. Some calls he answered, while others he ignored.

Most of the calls pertained to work. Wen Jin spent most of his time in silence, scarcely speaking. He listened to Shen Bin’s updates and occasionally responded. Yu Anwan, though, noted that Wen Jin’s congestion seemed to be

worsening with each passing call.

Frowning, Yu Anwan made her way back to her room.

Wen Jin’s gaze followed Yu Anwan’s departure, unruffled. He continued listening to Shen Bin’s report.

Once Shen Bin finished speaking and Wen Jin hung up the phone, the feeling of drowsiness became even more pronounced.

Perhaps it was due to genuine discomfort. His head buzzed with discomfort. It had been years since he had been this ill, but Wen Jin concealed this discomfort, never allowing it to surface on his face.

Meanwhile, Yu Anwan returned with an object in her hand.

Wen Jin looked over, but before he could say anything, Yu Anwan tossed the item in front of him. “Take the medicine. You can have it on an empty stomach. It’s effective for colds. Of course, it hasn’t been publicly disclosed. It’s a laboratory drug. If you’re afraid, you can choose not to take it..”
