Chapter 266: Jealousy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Hiss,” Shen Jun felt the pain on his lips, and only then did he start to regain his clarity.
Looking at Wen Nian, who had tears in her eyes and a stubborn expression, he couldn’t bear to see her like this.
However, when he thought of the scene just now, he was extremely jealous. He thought of the star bottle he had seen at Wen Nian’s house. It was filled with love for Wei Xiao. He tried to convince himself that he didn’t care, but the truth was that he cared more than he was willing to admit.
Every memory of Wen Nian and Wei Xiao’s past moments together had taken root in Shen Jun’s heart, fueling the fire of his jealousy.
As his thoughts spiraled into chaos and he leaned in to kiss her once more, he was interrupted by Wen Nian’s hoarse voice calling his name, “Shen Jun.”
He responded with a soft “Um,” his voice a mixture of acknowledgment and murmur.
His gaze remained intense as he looked down at Wen Nian, her face flushed, her hair disheveled, and her lips slightly swollen from their kisses.
His fingers brushed her lips gently, and then he buried his head in the curve of her neck.
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry.”
Both of them uttered apologies almost simultaneously, their words hanging in the air.
Wen Nian took a deep breath and gently wrapped her arms around Shen Jun’s neck, letting him lean closer.
“Shen Jun, you are my boyfriend. 1 only love you. What 1 said to Wei Xiao was recorded, and 1 have no connection with him. I love only you, and no one else.”
Tears welled up in her eyes, whether from a sense of injustice or sadness, she couldn’t discern. But she knew that the boy in her arms was her true love, and she was determined to clear any misunderstandings between them.
“I’m sorry. I love you too.” Shen Jun turned his head slightly and kissed away the tears at the corners of her eyes. Then, he kept repeating, “I’m sorry.”
Wen Nian cradled his face with both hands and then pressed her lips against his, the kiss more like a confrontation than an affectionate gesture. A slight twinge pulsed in Shen Jun’s teeth as they met hers.
Then, she immediately moved away. “You’re so jealous. I am about to die from all this sourness.”
Shen Jun was a little embarrassed by her words. He leaned over and bit her nose again. “I’ll go find you some clothes. I’ll send you back later.”
It was only at that moment that Wen Nian became aware of the deformity in her top and the torn collar caused by Shen Jun. It was then, with an unnatural movement, that she sat up and began to straighten her disheveled clothes.
Observing her resembling a young girl in that moment, Shen Jun’s lips curved into a gentle smile. He turned away and started to search for some clothes.
As Shen Jun left, Shen Jun’s phone began to ring. She called out to him, but he didn’t hear, so she picked up the phone and saw “Jiang Chun” on the screen.
It was almost io pm, but Jiang Chun still called Shen Jun directly. Wen Nian was furious.
This woman was definitely an expert. Wen Nian had encountered many people in the entertainment industry during her previous life, but few were as adept at managing situations and emotions as Jiang Chun.
After a while, the call ended, and a WeChat message from Jiang Chun appeared.
Jiang Chun: Are you alright? You’re not mad at me, are you? I blame myself for today. Wei Lai said it was her friend’s birthday and asked for my support. She lied, and I’ve repeatedly told her not to interfere between you and Wen Nian, but she won’t listen. Next time, 1’11 talk to her seriously. 1 won’t let Wen Nian get upset.
Jiang Chun: “I see that you’ve been drinking too. I’ve made some hangover soup. I’ll get the driver to send it to you later, okay? Otherwise, you’ll have a headache when you go to school tomorrow.”
When Shen Jun returned with a white T-shirt similar to the one Wen Nian was wearing, he saw Wen Nian holding his phone with a faint smile.
Wen Nian really hadn’t unlocked his phone. It was mainly because the contents of the message had popped up. It was difficult for her not to see it.
Shen Jun took the phone suspiciously, then frowned. “Why does she always take responsibility for herself?”
“It seems she’s trying to portray herself as pure and innocent in your eyes. Her intention is for you to believe she’s not involved in any scheming, and that she’s genuinely kind.” Wen Nian had finally had enough of Jiang Chun’s petty tricks. She didn’t want to argue with Shen Jun either. Grabbing her T-shirt, she headed to the bathroom to change her clothes.
Seeing that Shen Jun had not replied, Jiang Chun felt a little worried. After all, Wei Xiao was a little delirious from drinking. Shen Jun must have drunk a lot too.
She continued to call, but the call was hung up.
Shen Jun: What happened today has nothing to do with you. Wen Nian isn’t angry either. I’ve said it before. She’s not the petty woman you think she is.
Jiang Chun: 1 was waiting for your reply for quite a while and thought you might have had a bit too much to drink. It really startled me. You should becareful in I lai City. If you’re feeling uncomfortable or anything, just let me know. We’re friends, and 1 will definitely help you.
Jiang Chun ignored Shen Jun’s defense of Wen Nian. After all, Shen Jun had always defended that woman..
