There wasn’t much to say. Even if Yu Anwan lost, she had a way of obtaining custody of Wen Zhanyan.

At the very least, on the surface, this bet favored Wen Jin. He held the initiative.

Therefore, Yu Anwan wasn’t worried that Wen Jin wouldn’t agree.

However, Wen Jin just looked at Yu Anwan without uttering a word. His gaze remained fixed on her, unwavering.

Yu Anwan didn’t avoid his gaze and stared back provocatively. “What’s the matter, President Wen? Are you scared?”

“What if you lose?” Wen Jin calmly spoke, one hand gripping Yu Anwan’s chin, tightening slightly with a hint of coercion.

Yu Anwan’s red lips twitched, and Wen Jin’s voice reached her again, clear and distinct. Each word was like a precise note. “Yu Anwan, if you lose, you’ll have to stay by my side unconditionally until I grow tired of you.” This time, the one who remained silent was Yu Anwan. Wen Jin looked down at Yu Anwan. “What? Are you afraid?” It was as if he had turned the tables on Yu Anwan.

Yu Anwan chuckled softly, her voice carrying a mocking tone.

Then, without hesitation, she swatted Wen Jin’s hand away. She didn’t even spare him a glance, as if the terms of the bet were now officially in place.

With no desire to waste time, Yu Anwan stood up, ready to leave.

“Where are you going?” Wen Jin swiftly caught Yu Anwan’s hand. “Didn’t we just make a bet?”

“Oh,” Yu Anwan replied, elongating her voice, her tone casual and dismissive.

Previously, when Wen Jin had looked down at Yu Anwan, it was as if he was the superior one. Now, Yu Anwan was looking at Wen Jin just like that. At the same time, Yu Anwan pinched Wen Jin’s chin and teased him.

“President Wen, I’m sorry. The bet starts tomorrow. I already have plans for today.” Yu Anwan’s voice remained lackadaisical, without a hint of seriousness.

Wen Jin chuckled, genuinely amused. With a grip on Yu Anwan’s hand, he mimicked a husband inquiring from his wife, “And who’s this appointment with?”

“President Wen, you’re overstepping,” Yu Anwan replied without explaining.

“Not boyfriend and girlfriend?” Wen Jin naturally bestowed them with this label.

Yu Anwan burst into laughter at this assigned title. Without reservation, she continued poking at Wen Jin’s chest with her delicate finger. “Wen Jin, at most, we’re just a couple seeking excitement. ‘Boyfriend and girlfriend’ doesn’t apply, got it?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Anwan nonchalantly brushed away an imaginary speck from Wen Jin’s shoulder. Her tone remained casual. “See you tomorrow.”

And with that, Yu Anwan strode out of the restaurant without any intention of lingering.

This time, Wen Jin didn’t attempt to stop her. He simply watched as Yu Anwan’s figure disappeared.

Wen Jin’s hand remained positioned near his stomach. He had acted on impulse in front of Yu Anwan, and now his stomach really couldn’t take it.

Tsk, that mischievous woman.

Wen Jin also blamed this debt on Yu Anwan.

The once tranquil lake of his heart was suddenly stirred by Yu Anwan’s words, causing ripples of excitement that couldn’t be suppressed.

However, Wen Jin’s gaze quickly grew heavy, and he immediately dialed Shen Bin’s number.

“President Wen,” Shen Bin responded respectfully.

“Find out who Yu Anwan is meeting with today,” Wen Jin ordered.

Shen Bin was now used to Wen Jin’s contradictory words and actions. He acknowledged and promptly hung up, following Wen Jin’s instructions to investigate.

In less than ten minutes, Shen Bin called back. “President Wen, Miss Yu is having dinner and watching a movie with President Zhou tonight.” He also provided the addresses of the restaurant and the cinema.

Wen Jin listened, let out a cold chuckle, and simply ended the call.

Zhou Shen, huh?

Quite audacious.

At 5 PM, Yu Anwan accompanied Zhou Shen to the restaurant he had chosen.

The restaurant’s location had been picked by Zhou Shen, and it was indeed the most upscale dining establishment in all of Jiang City. Furthermore, it was one of the rare Michelin three-star French restaurants in the city.

The atmosphere was in line with Zhou Shen’s character. It was high-profile and luxurious.

Upon their arrival at the restaurant, the waiter confirmed their reservation with Zhou Shen. Zhou Shen was still enthusiastically describing to Yu Anwan how challenging it was to secure a reservation here and how delectable the cuisine was.

However, the waiter’s words made Zhou Shen lose all his face.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhou, but your name isn’t on our reservation list,” the waiter offered apologetically.

Zhou Shen furrowed his brows, his frustration evident. “That can’t be right! We had President Xu arrange it for us!”

The waiter patiently double-checked and then, with regret, said, “I’m sorry, but your name isn’t listed.”

Zhou Shen’s embarrassment was palpable, though Yu Anwan remained unfazed. Just as Zhou Shen was gearing up for a confrontation, Yu Anwan intervened. “Let’s find another place. There are plenty of dining options in Jiang City.”

“No, I’m staying right here!” Zhou Shen’s temper flared up, and there was no reason for him.

The waiter looked at Yu Anwan with a troubled expression. Yu Anwan sighed. Whenever Zhou Shen’s stubborn temper kicked in, there was no way to easily pacify him.

What was slick? It did not exist in Zhou Shen’s mind.

Yu Anwan was helpless and looked at the waiter apologetically. At this moment, the elevator door suddenly opened. Yu Anwan subconsciously looked over and then fell silent.

Tsk, what a small world.

And where was Wen Jin?

Not just Wen Jin, but Lu Nanxin was also with him.

When Lu Nanxin saw Yu Anwan, her expression changed. Wen Jin, on the other hand, merely cast a fleeting glance at Yu Anwan, not giving her any significance.

Yu Anwan sneered inwardly and couldn’t resist mentally criticizing this individual.

She had seen people who were good at acting, but none were as adept as Wen Jin.

A ludicrous idea crossed Yu Anwan’s mind, and she subconsciously grasped the reason for Zhou Shen’s reservation mishap.

But outwardly, Yu Anwan stood composedly beside Zhou Shen, unmoving.

Meanwhile, Zhou Shen was on the phone, inquiring about the situation. It was unclear what President Xu said, but Zhou Shen’s anger escalated to the point where he erupted in a string of expletives and then abruptly hung up.

Upon turning his gaze back to Yu Anwan, Zhou Shen cursed, “You incompetent fool! Can’t even get a simple reservation right.”

“It’s alright, let’s find another place. After all, I’m treating.” Yu Anwan smiled.

She didn’t want to stay here anyway. Yu Anwan felt uneasy being in the same space as Wen Jin.

So, Yu Anwan smoothly provided Zhou Shen with an excuse. Zhou Shen snorted. “That’s too good for you!”

Yu Anwan smiled and patiently reassured Zhou Shen, “I’ll make it up to you later.”

Zhou Shen displayed a tsundere attitude. It was only upon noticing Wen Jin and

Lu Nanxin that his mood further soured. Yu Anwan naturally took hold of Zhou Shen’s hand and began to leave.

Zhou Shen remained silent.

Seeing this, Lu Nanxin didn’t have the time to speak.. However, Wen Jin calmly remarked, “President Zhou, are you here to dine with friends?”
