"Brother Qi, want to come see the chocolate fountain with me?" Wen Cheng turned around and invited him. He had gotten into the habit of asking Wen Qi to join him whenever he wanted to do something. He would be very happy if Wen Qi was interested in participating in one of the activities!
Wen Qi gave him a deep look, showing no intention of moving.
She simply asked, "Wen Cheng, do you really want me to find a boyfriend as soon as possible?"
Wen Cheng was taken aback; he had never imagined that Wen Qi would ask him such a question.
"Brother Qi, you're not doing this to Sister Yu Ning,"
"Is it my idea, or yours?" Wen Qi's serious demeanor was completely different from his usual self. He slowly approached Wen Cheng, giving her an immense sense of pressure.
Wen Cheng's gaze instinctively met Wen Qi's. He saw that Wen Qi's eyes were more complicated than ever before. Wen Cheng blinked, subconsciously took a half step back, and looked slightly to the side.
Although she subconsciously chose to avoid the situation, strangely enough, Wen Cheng was able to understand Wen Qi's true meaning. Wen Qi was asking whether she wanted him to be with Gu Yuning, or whether he was willing to be with Gu Yuning.
Wen Cheng was also confused. Had he spoken too quickly, thus distorting their relationship? But the book clearly stated that Brother Qi would be with Sister Yu Ning.
Another very important point is that, without the plot in the book, would he still be willing for Brother Qi to find a partner?
Wen Qi seemed to have anticipated Wen Cheng's thoughts.
With a tired, hoarse voice, she asked, "If I really end up with someone, Wen Cheng, what will you do?"
Wen Cheng's calm heart was suddenly blasted into a raging storm by these words.

I've been having some writer's block lately, I'm really sorry everyone~
Chapter 35 Jealousy
Wen Cheng, who was used to arguing with Brother Qi, was speechless at this moment, her thoughts in complete disarray.
What do you mean, "what can he do?" Just live like that.
But for some reason, these thoughts made Wen Cheng somewhat irritable, as if she were trapped in the darkness and couldn't find a way out.
Wen Qi didn't choose to change the subject; instead, he looked at Wen Cheng even more intently.
The two were very close, so close that Wen Cheng could count the eyelashes on Wen Qi's upper eyelids. Wen Cheng looked down, as if trying to avoid the viewer, and her gaze settled on Wen Qi's Adam's apple, where she saw it move slightly.
Despite the mess, Wen Cheng felt she still needed to provide an answer.
"President Wen, you're here! It's rare to see you at banquets. Welcome, welcome! I didn't believe it when Old Wen told me, hahaha!"
A sudden voice broke the silence between the two.
"Tsk!"
Wen Cheng was very close to him, close enough to hear his almost negligible tsk-sound. This was the first time he had ever seen Wen Qi vent his emotions in public.
Wen Qi looked away from Wen Cheng with extreme displeasure, and Wen Cheng could almost feel the chill emanating from Wen Qi.
However, because of the involvement of outsiders, Wen Cheng had to admit that she was relieved.
The person who came was Gu Yuning's father. President Gu just turned fifty this year, but he looks like he's forty. He's also very energetic and has an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his eyes when he looks at Wen Qi. If you had to describe it, it would probably be the look of a father-in-law looking at his future son-in-law.
Wen Cheng followed Wen Qi forward and very obediently called him "Uncle".
Father Gu immediately looked at Wen Cheng, his eyes showing a mixture of scrutiny and politeness. "This must be Chengcheng. I've heard Yu Ning mention you these past few days. You are indeed very cute!"
Love? Wen Cheng was stunned for a moment.
Mr. Gu realized that this word seemed inappropriate in front of the person in question, so he coughed. It was typical of him being influenced by his daughter; Gu Yuning's favorite word to praise Wen Cheng was "cute."
Wen Qi reverted to his usual calm and aloof demeanor, extending his hand in a very polite manner with Gu's father.
Despite a difference of over twenty years in their business careers, Wen Qi's aura was in no way inferior to his opponent's, and perhaps even surpassed it. If it weren't for his current less-than-ideal complexion, he would indeed be worthy of praise from fathers in the business circle as the son-in-law they dream of.
Seeing the growing paternal love emanating from Gu's father, Wen Cheng suddenly didn't want to stay where she was.
I turned around to see the chocolate fountain that Secretary Zhao had mentioned.
"Young Master Wen, over here."
Secretary Zhao called out to Wen Cheng, pointing to a road that was completely opposite to the direction Wen Cheng was walking.
Wen Cheng: ......
The banquet concluded with a very old-fashioned international dance, a segment that Mr. Gu particularly enjoyed. He greatly admired this kind of classic ballroom dance, and much of the home's decor was inspired by it—a fact well-known within their circle. Therefore, when the music started, everyone had already found their dance partners.
So when Wen Cheng finished ten skewers of fruit chocolate and looked up, she was completely stunned. Why hadn't anyone told her about this part?
A group square dance performance?
At this moment, a circle with a diameter of about one hundred meters was drawn around the crystal chandelier, and Wen Cheng watched as more and more people entered the circle hand in hand.
He also saw his parents in the crowd, as well as Wen Yunyi and Qin Zhou, who were secretly dancing on the edge.
Wen Cheng took a step back, only to bump into a solid chest.
Wen Cheng: Sometimes, I really wish I had a pair of eyes in the back of my head, really.
Wen Cheng turned around in fright. The man behind her was an unfamiliar face. He was very tall and looked very muscular, with a physique comparable to Qin Zhou. His features were so striking that they wouldn't be out of place even in the entertainment industry. However, he lacked a righteous aura, and his gloomy eyes suggested he was a ruthless character.
Wen Cheng guessed that one of the older brothers must have also come to the banquet.
"I'm sorry~" Wen Cheng apologized very politely. She absolutely couldn't embarrass the Wen family headquarters in public! And she needed to protect herself well.
To everyone's surprise, the man suddenly looked uninterested. "Weren't you being quite fierce just now? I don't like obedient girls."
Wen Cheng tilted her head, looking like she didn't quite understand.
The man chuckled softly. "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Fei Shuo. This is our second meeting. The first time was in the restroom just now."
Wen Cheng suddenly realized that he wasn't the only badger in the toilet at the time. Thinking that he was also forced to watch the show, Wen Cheng lowered his guard and smiled as if he had met a companion.
"I'm just a little gourd, please excuse my poor appearance~"
Fei Shuo chuckled softly, and the red mole at the corner of his eye seemed to become even more beautiful.
Wen Cheng's curly hair froze. This characteristic shouldn't be something a normal person would have. Wen Cheng turned her brain, which had been gathering dust for too long, and searched for the target person.
The book's biggest villain, Fei Shuo, possesses a business empire comparable to the Qin family's. Ever since the cruise ship party, he has fallen deeply in love with Wen Yunyi and harbors intense hatred for the original owner of this body. Later, while fighting against Qin Zhou, he also helps Wen Yunyi get involved with Wen Cheng.
Anyway, the original owner was the one who suffered the most.
Wen Cheng shuddered, and thinking of the methods Fei Shuo used to force her in the book, she couldn't help but take a few steps back.
This person is dangerous. He thought that just because he didn't go to the party, he should completely avoid this person.
"How about it? Interested in dancing with me?" Fei Shuo confidently extended his hand, causing the girls around him to gasp.
Wen Cheng felt immense pressure.
“Then you might need to make an appointment with an orthopedic specialist in advance,” Wen Cheng said bluntly.
Fei Shuo was taken aback, and it took him a while to realize what was happening. He then smiled and said, "It's okay. Since you're so cute, I'm willing to sacrifice myself to teach you properly."
......
Wen Cheng: Do people play games this pervertedly these days?
Wen Cheng really didn't want to get involved with this kind of person. He said it was nothing now, but he'd definitely show a different face once he hurt him. Humph!
Wen Cheng expressed her utter contempt for this.
"I don't like dancing, you should find someone else." Wen Cheng didn't believe that Fei Shuo would do anything too outrageous in front of so many people. Although in the book, the original owner had tried to seduce Fei Shuo, and the other party had already done a pretty bad thing by throwing him out to be watched by everyone.
Fei Shuo smiled, naturally unwilling to let him go. He liked this kind of seemingly innocent but actually cunning little rabbit the most, and his taste had never changed since he was a child. He was confident that even if these people had powerful claws, he was confident that he could subdue them.
Fei Shuo followed, pushing through the crowd, and saw Wen Cheng hiding behind someone. His attention was entirely on Wen Cheng, and he immediately tried to pull him out.
As a result, one hand easily gripped him, and he instantly felt pain from his wrist bone.
Fei Shuo had never been treated like this in his life. He looked up angrily, only to see someone whose face was even worse than his. However, the person was too good at hiding it. All his anger and displeasure were hidden in his eyes, which struck him precisely.
"What does Mr. Fei want with my brother?" Wen Qi smiled "politely," but in reality, he really wanted to slap the little brat behind him. He had only been acting alone for a short time, and he had already brought along some shady character.
Wen Cheng peeked out from behind Wen Qi, showing no consideration for Wen Qi's feelings whatsoever. She even wore a smug smile, proving that only by Brother Qi's side could she feel truly at ease.
Fei Shuo smiled awkwardly, but didn't forget to say provocatively, "Hello, President Wen, it was just a joke with Chengcheng."
Chengcheng? Wen Qi glanced at Wen Cheng out of the corner of his eye, inwardly wishing he could throw that idiot across from him into the chocolate fountain, but the more he thought about it, the more affectionate his smile became.
Wen Cheng swallowed nervously, eager to clear her name, "I didn't say more than five sentences to him, this is obviously fabricated! I said that if I danced with him, he would end up in the orthopedics department, and he still wanted to dance with me, isn't he just trying to extort me!"
Dancing?!
Wen Qi's hand, hidden in his pocket, gradually clenched.
Fei Shuo's eye twitched visibly, because he couldn't refute that statement at all...
"President Fei," Wen Qi suddenly asked.
Fei Shuo was also feeling guilty. After all, the other party was Wen Qi. He could only put on an act of pretension with one sentence; he dared not go any further.
"I was just extending a friendly invitation; I had no intention of extorting you!"
"Is that so?" Wen Qi smiled, but his tone was devoid of warmth. "Wen Cheng, President Fei has already extended such an invitation to you, are you still going to refuse?"
However, Wen Cheng and Fei Shuo heard this sentence with a different meaning.
For example, if you dance with Wen Cheng (Fei Shuo) today, I will break your legs, seriously.
Wen Cheng shook her head violently.
Wen Qi then turned his gaze to Fei Shuo.
Fei Shuo gave an awkward smile, as if the girl he had been pursuing had her father come along and "friendly"ly asked him if he wanted to date his daughter.
"Since Chengcheng doesn't mean it that way, I won't force her." Fei Shuo suddenly felt sweat pouring down his face.
Wen Qi only heard the name "Chengcheng" in this sentence, and smiled, "Then I won't force you. By the way, Mr. Fei, Chengcheng is a nickname used by family members, or you can only call her that after you reach a certain level of friendship with her. She's a child we just adopted, so we have to pamper her first. I hope Mr. Fei won't mind."
Fei Shuo gave a forced smile, which directly eliminated his chance to call Wen Cheng.
Wen Cheng was puzzled and was about to say something when Wen Qi's cold gaze silenced her. Fine, whatever her brother said now.
Song Cheng made the best choice tonight.
