Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 2065: Chapter 2064: Good Thing You Didn’t Agree

Jing Xiaocha was eating diligently, but in the end, she still couldn’t finish the two dishes.

Touching her full stomach, Jing Xiaocha looked pitifully at Wen Jin, who was eating elegantly beside her, “Brother Wen, I’m really full. I’ll save it for tomorrow morning.”

Wen Jin glanced down at her stomach and then looked at the dishes on the table.

Jing Xiaocha had put in a lot of effort, but she was eating alone, whereas the two dishes shared by Wen Jin and Zhang Minghui were already almost finished.

“It’s not good to eat leftovers overnight.”

He said lightly, reaching with his chopsticks to pick up the food Jing Xiaocha left.

And handed his empty bowl to Jing Xiaocha, “Give me another half bowl of rice.”

Knowing Jing Xiaocha couldn’t finish the food, he had been eating slowly with his usual refined manner.

Jing Xiaocha opened her mouth, wanting to say something but swallowed it back.

Obediently, she served rice for Wen Jin and sat beside him watching him eat.

Zhang Minghui put down his chopsticks, said he was going to review his studies, and ran out of the dining room to his desk on the balcony to read.

In the dining room, only Wen Jin and Jing Xiaocha were left.

Just as Wen Jin was about to speak, Jing Xiaocha’s phone rang; it was a call from Jin Zheyu.

Jing Xiaocha glanced at Wen Jin, “Brother Wen, I’ll go outside to take this call first.”

“Go ahead.”

Wen Jin’s gaze lingered on her phone for a second before he spoke with an unchanged expression.

Jing Xiaocha smiled at him, took her phone to the sofa in the living room, and then answered the call.

She deliberately lowered her voice, whether fearing to disturb Wen Jin eating or fearing him hearing who she was talking to was uncertain.

After finishing the call, Jing Xiaocha returned to the dining table; Wen Jin had finished eating and was tidying up the dishes.

Jing Xiaocha hurried to help, “Brother Wen, you go rest, I’ll do it.”

“Was it a call from Jin Zheyu?”

Wen Jin asked in return without answering, glancing at Jing Xiaocha, not stopping his tidying motion.

Although he never did such things at home, he was quite adept at it here.

Jing Xiaocha’s eyes flickered, she softly answered, “It was a call from Senior Jin. He knew President Jin found me this afternoon and asked what it was about.”

“Jin Yunchang chose Zheng Shirui as the leading actress, and Jin Zheyu didn’t say anything?”

Wen Jin placed the bowl in the dish and picked up the chopsticks to carry to the kitchen, Jing Xiaocha hurriedly said, “Brother Wen, I’ll do it.”

“No need.”

Wen Jin avoided her hand, carrying the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen; Jing Xiaocha had no choice but to follow him into the kitchen.

Just as she wanted to say she’d do the washing, Wen Jin spoke first, “Just help out.”

The words on Jing Xiaocha’s lips had to be swallowed again.

As they washed the dishes, she continued the earlier topic.

Jing Xiaocha told Wen Jin what Jin Zheyu had said on the call, “Senior Jin said he went to see his father in the morning, but his father was adamant and he couldn’t persuade him for now.”

Wen Jin, who had been washing the dishes with his head down, suddenly turned his face, his dark eyes locking onto Jing Xiaocha’s gaze, and she froze.

“…”

Halfway through her words, they halted.

Wen Jin asked calmly, “Did Jin Yunchang propose any terms to you?”

“…”

Jing Xiaocha’s eyes flickered, her lips pressed tightly, she did not answer.

She wondered how Wen Jin knew that Jin Yunchang had proposed conditions to her.

Recalling what she said earlier, and when discussing these matters in the afternoon, she didn’t recall mentioning anything.

Wen Jin watched her slightly flickering eyes, a sharp and probing glint emerged deep within his eyes.

It was quickly replaced by warmth, “Jin Yunchang approaching you to discuss Zheng Shirui being chosen as the lead actress, rather than you seeking him out, indicates he probably does not insist on her playing the lead role. Instead, he wants to use this matter to demand you agree to something?”

Jing Xiaocha’s clear eyes flashed with surprise, her expression slightly changed.

“Has Jin Zheyu approached you about this lately? Or has something happened between him and Zheng Shirui, or is he unwilling to accept the arrangement by his parents to be with Zheng Shirui, thus involving you?”

Seeing Jing Xiaocha not answering, Wen Jin continued his guesses gently.

His deep, dark eyes kept watching Jing Xiaocha, observing minute changes in her expression, and with each word he said, Jing Xiaocha’s expression changed slightly.

Wen Jin was aware in his mind he had guessed correctly.

He felt a hint of guilt; the last time Xiaocha went on a blind date, he had informed Jin Zheyu, who then appeared in the cafe where Xiaocha had her date.

Perhaps that, too, had a reason…

Jing Xiaocha softly opened her mouth, “Yes, Jin Yunchang said that if I don’t want Zheng Shirui to play the leading role, I must cut all ties with Jin Zheyu. But there really is nothing between Jin Zheyu and me.”

Wen Jin pondered aloud, “He’s not saying you have something with Jin Zheyu, he wants Jin Zheyu to abandon thoughts of you, make him obediently marry or get engaged to Zheng Shirui.”

“…”

Jing Xiaocha had to admire Wen Jin’s intelligence.

He could deduce every reason without her telling him.

“What exactly did he say?”

Wen Jin, seeing the hint of indignation and grievance in Jing Xiaocha’s eyes, softened his voice even more.

Jing Xiaocha’s tone was somewhat stiff, “He told me to find a man to marry within three months, as the show’s filming is tentatively set to start after the New Year.”

Meaning, she should get married before the end of the year.

Then Zheng Shirui naturally wouldn’t play the lead role.

If Jing Xiaocha couldn’t do that, then next year, this drama’s lead actress would surely be Zheng Shirui.

Zheng Shirui’s background wasn’t even in acting.

She had no intention of becoming a top star; she just wanted to marry Jin Zheyu, to be a wealthy lady, continuing her comfortable rich life.

If she indeed played the lead role, Jing Xiaocha’s project would be ruined.

Either the work gets ruined, or her own happiness does.

Such harsh terms would only be proposed by a seasoned business veteran like Jin Yunchang.

Not feeling it an imposition on others at all.

Upon hearing Jing Xiaocha’s response, Wen Jin’s handsome face darkened, a hint of coldness flashed in his dark eyes, “Did you agree to his terms?”

Jing Xiaocha shook her head, her clear eyes writing out defiance, “How could I possibly agree?”

With a naturally stubborn temperament, she wouldn’t easily be coerced by Jin Yunchang’s terms into haphazardly finding a man to marry.

What an irresponsible act that would be for herself.

Wen Jin smiled gently, handing her the washed bowl, “Good that you didn’t agree.”

“I won’t agree to him.”

Jing Xiaocha’s lips pressed with determination.

She had made up her mind, considering she still held evidence of Man Tianxue plagiarizing her work and Jin Fengjiao’s orchestration.

Since their drama is still being filmed, if it had to come to a falling out, she wouldn’t mind a drastic measure.
