Chapter 280: Testing the Waters Beneath the Surface
was the warmest place for him."Aren't you preparing a bridal suite Then just go back to live there. You can't even cook in the guest room, are you eating takeout every day"Qin Jingwen began to worry....How could I possibly like her 。But if I were to actually win Qin Jingwen's heart, you should be the happiest person. After all, one less rival for you. 。Joe Shunhao didn't admit it, fearing that these words would reach Joe Shunchen's ears. 。But his assumption has exposed his heart, Ye Wen is not foolish enough not to hear it. 。I'd rather have more rivals in love than let you be with her. She used to be your brother's woman, if you were together it would be incest. 。" Even though Ye Wen was still joking, her words were what she truly felt. " 。She couldn't accept Qin Jingwen being with Qiao Shunchen, nor did she want to see Qin Jingwen and Qiao Shunhao together. If she were with Qiao Shunhao, she would have more opportunity to stick by Qiao Shunchen's side. She loathed this kind of thing to the extreme. 。"Things have escalated; you even brought up incest. It seems you have a big problem with Qin Jingwen." 。But speaking of which, you've been gone for several years. It seems impossible to expect Mr. Qiao to remain chaste and wait for you all this time. After all, it's perfectly normal for men to seek companionship and fill the void of loneliness. 。Joe Shun-hao doesn't like Ye Wen's way of saying it, as long as he likes someone and if she isn't already married, he can pursue her. 。"Understanding that, women like Qin Jingwen are only good for passing the time. If you take them seriously, you're a fool." 。Yè Wényì hinted, always mentioning Qín Jìngwēn. She disliked anyone associated with Qín Jìngwēn and had to be wary of them all. 。“That’s not necessarily true. If Mr. Qiao was just playing around, would you be this nervous”Joe Shunhao grew serious. He didn't want to hear anything disparaging about Qin Jingwen. 。In his view, Qin Jingwen's character and qualities were better than Ye Wen's. 。Ye Wen listened uncomfortably, but her expression didn't show it. She just knew this topic couldn't continue, otherwise Qiao Shunhao would turn against Qin Jingwen because of her. 。When Ye Wen arrived at Qiao Shunchen's office, Qiao Shunchen was just returning from a meeting. 。Ye Wen didn't mention anything about seeing Qiao Shunhao. 。 "Can I get off work now" A soft and sweet voice echoed in Qiao Shunchen's ear, but what Qiao Shunchen thought in his heart was another voice 。 Not so soft and alluring, not so sweet, the sugar content is also very low, but he just misses it, just likes that generous and unpretentious voice. 。“Okay, Song Xinzhe and the others are on their way. Let’s go now.” 。" Qiao Shunchen put a file in the drawer and then locked it, it seemed to be an important document. " 。However, Ye Wen began to have doubts about Qiao Shunchen's locked drawer. 。She wondered if there might be something even more important about Qin Jingwen stored there. 。When Qiao Shunchen and Ye Wen arrived at the restaurant, Song Xinzhe and Tang Danni were already sitting there. 。We're late. Danni, let me introduce you to Ye Wen. 。" Song Xinzhe's wife, Tang Danni 。Joe Shunchen took off his coat while introducing... 。"Hello, I'm Ye Wen, the fiancée of Qiao Shunchen." 。"
Yè Wén greeted warmly, but the self-explanation in her words made Tang Dānní somewhat concerned.
" 。Although Ye Wen seemed gentle, Tang Danni always felt that she was showing off, trying to emphasize her position. 。"Hello, I am Tang Danni" 。“ Tang Danni tried to get up but was stopped by Song Xinzhe, she could only sit and simply said hello. ” 。However, Song Xinzhe's action clearly made Ye Wen a little unhappy. But this unhappiness passed quickly. 。“Please sit down, no need to be so polite” 。" Qiao Shunchen gestured for Ye Wen to sit down, then sat himself. " 。"Have you ordered"Joe Shunchen looked up and asked Song Xinzhe. 。Okay, you ordered what you like, I ordered what I like, and Dani ordered what she likes. We don't know what Ye Wen likes, so let's ask Ye Wen to order a few dishes too. 。“ Song Xinzhe said calmly, compared to Tang Danni, he was the one who disliked Ye Wen. ” 。They've known each other for a long time, and they haven't liked each other since way back then. 。At that time, Qiao Shunchen was possessed, and he couldn't express his dislike for Ye Wen, but he didn't say anything good about her either. 。"No need, I can eat anything." 。“ Ye Wen politely refused, her attention was not on the food, but on Tang Danni. ” 。Tang Dani didn't have the same enthusiasm for her that she had seen the day before. It seemed this was how she expressed her dislike. 。If you don't like it, you must speak up for Qin Jingwen. 。"How many months is Dani now" "Seven months. In two more months, she'll be born." 。" Smiling, Tang Danni said that although Ye Wen gave her a bad first impression, she was still polite. " 。"That's great, I'm so envious of you all becoming parents soon." 。I also want to have a baby of my own as soon as possible. 。" Ye Wen is truly envious. "。"I'm so envious that if you had come back earlier, the kids would have been running all over the place. This is your own decision-making error." 。"Song Xinzhe seemed to be joking, but he was actually mocking and accusing Ye Wen. " 。If she had returned sooner, things between Qiao Shunchen and Qin Jingwen wouldn't have happened, Qin Jingwen wouldn't have been hurt, and Qiao Shunchen wouldn't be so troubled now. 。Ye Wen's words, however, sounded quite different to Tang Danni's ears. 。It seems she still doesn't like Qiao Shunchen's children, otherwise she wouldn't expect to have her own baby. 。Poor XuanXuan and BanYue, when will they ever meet a good stepmother 。This is not me coming back, it's also just in time. Shunchen has been waiting for me the whole time, which really touched me. 。Song Xinzhe's words made Ye Wen feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't show it. Even if she forced a smile, she couldn't let Qin Jingwen, her best friend, see that she cared about Qin Jingwen. 。"It's enough time, how could it be too late." 。You really can't find a man as devoted as Qiao Shunchen. 。"Song Xinzhe's mocking tone grew heavier and heavier, Tang Dani couldn't help but remind Song Xinzhe under the table, not wanting him to speak more. " 。“We’re all here, you can serve us now.” 。Tang Danni called for a waiter, trying to change the subject. 。She knew that if this topic continued, it would inevitably drag Qin Jingwen into it. 。No matter what Ye Wen thought of Qin Jingwen, Tang Danni didn't want to hear it. 。However, Qin Jingwen wanted to avoid the topic, but Ye Wen insisted on bringing it up. 。I came back and heard that Song Xinzhe got married. To be honest, I'm quite envious. 。And Shunchen and I cannot get married now because our two children are not yet of age, so naturally, they cannot have children. 。" Yè Wén said somewhat regretfully, wanting to continue the topic so she could see what Dànní Táng was thinking. " 。"You really have to bear with this, you can't force the two children, or how could I say you came back late." 。Come back sooner while the kids are still young, and you'll be able to catch up faster. 。Now that the children are growing up and learning so much, I don't know when you two will finally get married. 。“ Song Xin zhe usually wasn't a person who liked to make fun of others, he just wanted to say a few more words to Ye Wen today, wanting her to know how foolish and harmful her departure was. ” 。“You’re right, I feel like I came back late. But if I have time, even if it takes a lifetime, I’m willing to wait.” 。Ye Wen said this to have Tang Danni pass the word to Qin Jingwen. She would wait for Qiao Shunchen her whole life, and there was no chance in this lifetime that Qin Jingwen would be with Qiao Shunchen. 。"But the two children accepted me at my own pace, I think it has to do with their mom." 。Qin Jingwen has been persuading the child, saying that if the child listens to Mommy, they will soon accept me. 。" Ye Wen's words were even more suggestive. " 。Tang Danni turned her head to look at Song Xinzhe. She really couldn't stand Ye Wen's words, which seemed to have hidden meanings, so she spoke up. 。 "It's because of Wenwen. If Wenwen hadn't persuaded the two children to accept you, you wouldn't even have your fiancee status now." 。To avoid spoiling everyone's fun and to leave a good first impression, Tang Danyi refuted their words in a gentler manner. 。Ye Wen's meaning is not gratitude, but the opposite. 。She didn't appreciate Qin Jingwen's advice, but suspected that Qin Jingwen was inciting the child to refuse her. 。"You're right, the two children are very resistant to me. I must thank Qin Jingwen properly when I have the chance." 。Ye Wen knew that Tang Danni would definitely speak up for Qin Jingwen, and it was inevitable that she would try to matchmake Qin Jingwen and Qiao Shunchen. 。Dishes were served one by one, and the conversation finally shifted. 。During the meal, everyone chatted about random things and didn't mention Qin Jing and the two children anymore. 。After eating almost everything, Tang Danni slowly got up. 。"You guys eat first, I'll go to the restroom." 。"I'll go with you, it's not convenient for one person. " 。" Ye Wen warmly opened her mouth and then stood up. 。Then, please trouble yourself. 。After Song Xinzhe's thanks, Ye Wen accompanied Tang Danni as they left. 。As they walked away, Qiao Shunchen changed the subject. 。"What's wrong with you today Why are you confronting Ye Wen" "Her words were full of probing, I don't know what her purpose is for meeting Dani." 。To be honest, I don't like Ye Wen right now. 。With Ye Wen not around, Song Xinzhe's words became even more unrestrained. 。"You didn't start disliking her now, you disliked her from the day I introduced you to her." 。Since we've both been hating each other for so long, might as well keep it up. After all, I'm going to have to live with her for the rest of my life. 。“ He knew exactly what he was saying, not wanting to be put in a difficult position between Song Xinzhe and Ye Wen. ” 。"You knew I didn't like her all along" This was something Song Xinzhe found quite unexpected. 。"What kind of relationship are we, how could I possibly not see it" 。If you liked Ye Wen like WnWn, you wouldn't speak like this. 。When Qin Jingwen was mentioned casually, Qiao Shunchen's face unwittingly broke into a faint smile. 。"Alas...what can you do about it..." 。"I really want to live with Ye Wen for my whole life"
Looking at Qiao Shunchen's faint smile, Song Xinzhe said he felt sorry.
"Now it seems this is the only option" 。Jo Shunchen wants the person to live with for a lifetime to be Qin Jingwen, and he also wants to protect her for a lifetime. But now he doesn't have the right to choose, he can't choose the woman he likes. 。 "Oh, by the way, I remembered something." 。Just now on my way here, Dani and Winnie were on the phone. 。"It seems like Wenwen's car broke down. Do you know about this" Song Xinzhe suddenly remembered the conversation between the two women. 。"I know, she said with a slight cough. " 。" He answered in a low voice. 。"It's not a minor issue, it seems like the brakes failed. I took it to the 4S shop, but they refused to acknowledge it as a problem with the car itself, claiming that I, Wenwen, must have damaged it." 。When Song Xinzhe was driving, he could only hear what Tang Danni said. Although he didn't hear the specifics, it definitely wasn't what Qiao Shunchen had said, that there was nothing wrong. 。pected this to be a trap Qin Jingwen had dug for him. 。Then I won't be polite. 。"Shunchen, Sister Yang..." However, as Qin Jingwen mentioned the two words "Sister Yang," Qiao Shunchen reacted and int...
