My Wife is a Goddess: 99 Secret Kisses

Chapter 75 GOING TO B CITY PART 10

The meal was served on Ge Chen’s study table. Xue Lin pulled a chair, took a chopstick, and dug in. Ge Chen was sitting in his luxurious armchair. He was served a cup of tea. He took the cup and sipped it. Xue Lin recalled that once she was used to taking herbal tea made by Lu Feng, it helped her a lot when she studied day and night, and now she couldn’t drink it anymore. She sighed.

"Do you have something say to me?" Ge Chen asked.

Xue Lin subconsciously shook her head. "No, not really." However, she thought, ’Since he knows Mu Liang, he might know Lu Feng as well.’ Thinking back, she saw him in Lu Hospital when Yan Su was in the hospital. It was their third encounter. He saw him talking to Lu Feng. Her eyes sparkled.

She looked at Ge Chen and said, "Truthfully, I need a favor."

Ge Chen calmly gazed at her and said, "I won’t fulfill any favor for you." He saw her expression changing into bewilderment. He continued, "You cannot ask me for any favor. However, if you want something, you can tell me no matter how expensive and rare it is. I’ll get it for you."

Xue Lin understood and nodded. "Fine, I want you to give me the contact number of Lu Feng. I need to tell him to send my herbal tea here. There are also three boxes of herbal tea in my house in Berlin. I need to get them back before they expire."

"Lu Feng’s herbal tea..." Ge Chen remembered something like that. Lu Feng was boasting about his new invention. He said that herbal tea would reduce tiredness and headache. People would feel refreshed after drinking tea. Ge Chen also knew that it was costly. He asked, "Do you get this tea every month?"

"That was the deal." Xue Lin nodded. Her attention was on the meal.

"What kind of deal?" Ge Chen asked. He suddenly felt curious about it.

"I helped him to get together with Yan Su and in return, he promised to give me this herbal tea." Xue Lin explained the whole story while eating.

"...You sold your friend for the herbal tea?" Ge Chen couldn’t believe that she wanted that tea and that’s why she made a deal with Lu Feng. ’Will she sell me for food too?’ Ge Chen wondered. He also found her even more intriguing.

Xue Lin tilted her head and asked, "Why do you think she was sold? She chose him by herself. I didn’t force her to do anything. I just helped him to get close to her. She was the one who fell for the trap. And look, she is living happily ever after." She thought she was being very logical. Maybe she forgot that Yan Su was unexpectedly pregnant and Lu Feng was missing.

Ge Chen put his right elbow on the table and placed his chin on his fingers. His eyes flickered in amusement as he said, "You are interesting."

Xue Lin didn’t miss the chance to lecture him, "Every living being’s behavior is interesting."

"I’m only interested in you." He said as his grey eyes gazed at her.

"..." Xue Lin’s grey eyes locked with his. She suddenly asked him, "Were you a playboy before you married me?"

Ge Chen’s expression changed. "Why do you think so?"

Didn’t she notice that the romantic atmosphere around them was tarnished by her single question?

Xue Lin narrowed her eyes. She pondered deeply about his behavior. "Why do I think that way... it’s because whenever you get a chance, you hit on me."

Ge Chen blinked and said, "You are my wife. If I don’t hit on you, who will I hit on?"

"What you said is logical." Xue Lin agreed. She went back to their previous conversation, "Now that I told you about the tea, I hope you can do it."

Ge Chen inwardly sighed and said, "Alright, you will get it in a week. And there is something else I want to let you know." He handed her a white wedding card. "This one came from the Ge Mansion. They want us to go to Junjie’s wedding reception party."

"Who is Junkie?" Xue Lin didn’t mishear but she wanted to say it like that.

Ge Chen chuckled. That nickname certainly matched that ba***rd’s personality. "He is the one you were supposed to marry."

Xue Lin’s expression turned sour. "Oh, don’t remind me of that trash. If he gets married, let him get married. Why should he send us the invitation? Didn’t we avoid inviting them so that they couldn’t make trouble for us? Do they want to prove that we are wrong since we are still young and they are adult and so, they won’t make a mistake by not inviting us?"

Ge Chen narrowed his eyes. "I think it’s a trap. They want to humiliate us"

Xue Lin understood his point of view. "Oh, I see. They want to take revenge. Since you already know it’s a trap, why should we go? Let’s pretend we didn’t get anything." She didn’t think of them as Ge Chen’s family anymore. There was no point in getting cozy with them.

Ge Chen asked her coolly, "Is it alright if we keep avoiding them? We have to become face to face in front of other people when we attend parties. If we don’t go, they will point their finger at us. Do you want that? Others will talk badly about us, especially you. They will attack you verbally and viciously."

"There is something I want to ask you as well." Xue Lin finished her meal and looked at Ge Chen directly.

"What?"

She asked, "Why do you care what others talk or think about us?"

"!!!" Ge Chen widened his eyes.

"If you think I’m easy to bully, let them attack me verbally. I’ll deal with it." Xue Lin wasn’t afraid of what others spoke about her when they didn’t even know her. Why should she care about some trash talking when she knows it’ll harm her if she keeps thinking about it?

[A/N: Whenever I try to type "Junjie", MS Word makes it "Junkie" XD ]
