Chapter 72 Witness
He met Su Wan’s shy expression.
A teasing thought actually arose in Jing Chen’s heart. He chuckled. “It’s whatever you’re thinking about.”
Su Wan blushed instantly. She glared at Jing Chen angrily and retorted, “You’re spouting nonsense! How do you know what I’m thinking?!”
Jing Chen nodded and said seriously, “Yup, I don’t know.”
Then, he said lightly, “I’m also thinking am I jealous and that’s why I don’t want you to have a man by your side. So you think that I actually like you, right?”
Su Wan looked away and turned to look at the scenery outside to hide her panic. “No way. You’re thinking too highly of yourself.”
Regardless of whether Jing Chen liked her or not, Su Wan still could not accept such a thing. After all, admitting it meant that everything in her heart had been exposed.
Su Wan would not do such a stupid thing!
She snorted and did not say anything else.
And Su Wan inevitably started to fantasize about what Jing Chen had said.
Otherwise, what other reason could there be?
Su Wan felt that Jing Chen was hinting at her and that she could accept it herself!
When the two of them arrived at the restaurant.
They entered a private room.
When the door was pushed open, Bai Lian’s excited voice came from inside. “Chen, you’re here. This time…”
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Lian saw Su Wan and couldn’t continue speaking.
After that incident, Bai Lian suffered a huge blow. If Jing Chen was not around, she would not have been able to face it. It was Jing Chen who helped her resolve this matter!
Bai Lian was very grateful and liked Jing Chen even more.
Bai Lian was overjoyed to know that Jing Chen had asked her out so quickly!
She didn’t expect that Su Wan would be here!
Her gaze changed instantly. She frowned and said, “Why is she here too?”
“What happened today has to do with her, so I brought her here and we’ll be talking in front of her.” After Jing Chen finished speaking, he first pulled out Su Wan’s seat and let her sit on it, then he pushed it forward.
Bai Lian, who had seen this, widened her eyes. She had not expected that Jing Chen would do such a thing for that woman.
Was it because of the habits that Jing Chen had developed over the past two years?
Although Bai Lian was very unhappy, she endured it and did not show it. However, she had a bad feeling in her heart. It meant that this meal might not be as she had imagined.
Bai Lian’s face turned pale.
How could Su Wan not notice this? She would be lying if she said she was unhappy. This was the first time Jing Chen had taken care of her in front of Bai Lian. Maybe what this man said in the car was true!
It was really hard to say!
He chose her between her and Bai Lian!
Just thinking about it made Su Wan feel that the sky was bright and beautiful.
After Jing Chen sat down, he ordered several dishes. Some were Su Wan’s favorites, but there were also some that Bai Lian liked.
Bai Lian frowned. She knew what Jing Chen liked to eat.
How could she not know who those dishes were for?
Bai Lian could not sit still anymore. Her face turned cold as she glanced at Su Wan. Then, she looked at Jing Chen, who had put down the menu. She placed her hand on the man’s hand and said pitifully, “Chen, why did you bring her here today?”
Su Wan pursed her lips. Was this how Bai Lian addressed Jing Chen usually?
The two of them had been married for two years. No matter how good their relationship was, she had never called him that. Su Wan usually called him Hubby, because it was a little weird to call him with a single syllable.
Now that she heard it from other women, Su Wan only felt disgusted.
Jing Chen went straight to the point. “Su Wan and I won’t be getting a divorce, so I might not be able to fulfill my promise to you. It’s because of my family. You know about Grandpa’s situation. I believe you can understand Bai Lian. I can give you whatever compensation you want.”
These words made Bai Lian feel like she had fallen into the abyss, her whole body was cold.
Her lips trembled and she panicked. “Why, is it because of Su Wan? But that wasn’t what you told me back then. You said that you were using her! You said that you would settle it after two to three years…”
