Chapter Fifty-Three: Transcending You

  "Hmmph!"

  With a full stomach, Wu Tian let out a loud belch. Although he knew that burping during meals was very impolite behavior, for someone like Wu Tian who pursued a natural and comfortable life, he usually just did what made him feel at ease. This could be seen from the way he leaned back in his chair, constantly patting his bulging belly with his hands - a purely instinctual action. He had never been one to care about how others looked at him, people like him were often described with three words: shameless!

  "Wife, are you full?" Wu Tian asked with a concerned face, looking at Jingyun beside him, "If not, we can order more!"

  Jingyun heard this and didn't bother to respond to Wu Tian, calmly wiping the corner of her mouth. On one hand, she was indicating that she had finished eating, on the other hand, she was signaling to Wu Tian that she didn't want to talk. Actually, during dinner earlier, Wu Tian hadn't been stingy with his affection towards her. No, they were now "husband and wife", so it couldn't be described as "showing off", it should be said that he was "displaying affection", which would sound more fitting. A simple dinner, yet full of gunpowder flavor, Jingyun already regretted accompanying Chenchen here. Not only had she failed to infuriate Wu Tian to death, but instead, the other party had gained a great advantage. This meal wasn't worth eating!

  Seeing Jingyun not speaking, Wu Tian leaned in closer and asked with concern, "What's wrong, aren't you feeling well? Has your period come? Did you bring sanitary napkins? Do you want me to go out and buy some for you?"

  Jingyun couldn't bear it anymore and finally spoke up, "No need, thank you!" She bit the two words 'thank you' very hard, obviously this 'thank you' didn't mean what it seemed to on the surface.

  But she underestimated Wu Tian. Who is Wu Tian? How could he retreat because of a lukewarm sentence? This is not his character.

  "We're already an old couple, what's with the thanks? Don't make our younger siblings laugh." Wu Tian grasped Jingyun's hand tightly in his own and smiled at Lü Zifeng, saying, "My family is from a scholarly background, even after marriage, we still emphasize mutual respect. I hope you don't feel uncomfortable about it."

  "It doesn't matter, it's clear that Sister Biao must come from a prestigious family and is a talented lady." Lü Zifeng said with a smile, after drinking several cups of red wine, he was no longer as reserved as before.

  Jingyun tried to pull her hand back, but no matter how hard she struggled, Wu Tian's big hand was like a tiger's claw, holding her firmly. Jingyun had no choice but to use her foot to heavily step on Wu Tian's shoe under the table. However, she underestimated Wu Tian's endurance. No matter how hard she stepped, Wu Tian remained calm and composed, his face not flushing, his heart not racing, chatting and laughing as if nothing was happening. Jingyun even suspected that she had mistakenly kicked the wrong person. Chenchen's gloomy expression had been present since they arrived at the hotel and never dissipated. Jingyun felt that she couldn't continue like this, or else she would be misunderstood by Chenchen.

  Jingyun leaned in close to Wu Tian, lowering her voice as much as possible, and asked in a tone that only the two of them could hear, "Do you know what I'm best at?"

  "Are you serving men?" Wu Tian asked. It was rare for Jingyun to take the initiative to get close, and as a man, Wu Tian couldn't be ambiguous. He moved his chair closer to Jingyun again. To others, their bodies were already stuck together, and with Wu Tian holding Jingyun's hand, it wasn't just showing affection, but openly flirting!

  "I'm best at embroidery." Jingyun looked at Wu Tian and said, "If you say one more word, believe it or not, I'll sew your upper lip and lower lip together!" For the first time, Jingyun used a threatening tone on Wu Tian.

  "Believe it! You're my wife, whatever you say I'll believe."

  "......!" Jingyun felt that she had encountered a rascal, and it was an extremely high-quality one. Any rascal in front of this man would be like a small witch seeing a great witch. The men who chased her were not fewer than those who chased Chenchen, but she had never met such a super rascal like Wu Tian before, it was simply... too rascally!

  Jingyun had no experience in this aspect and she tried every possible method, now she also didn't know what to do.

  "I'm not eating anymore, I'm going home!" Chen Chen said suddenly, her face cold as she stood up and walked directly out of the restaurant.

  Lü Zifeng was taken aback, he quickly got up and chased after him, asking as he ran, "Chen Chen, why aren't you eating? Is it not to your taste? Otherwise, we can go eat Japanese food, Korean food, or Thai food? In short, anything is fine!"

  "Get out of my way!" Chen Chen shouted at Lü Zifeng, his voice as cold and merciless as a blast of icy air from Siberia.

  The whole western restaurant fell silent because of Chen Chen's one sentence, people looked at Lü Zifeng and Chen Chen who walked out of the restaurant, thinking: another couple had a falling out.

  Lü Zifeng was startled by Chen Chen, standing still on the spot, after a while, seeing so many people looking at himself, his face immediately fell, and he blushed with shame.

  "It's all your fault!" Jingyun stretched out her hand and pinched Wu Tian's arm hard, saying "Chen Chen is really angry."

  "Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead. This is what she gets for her own doing, serves her right!" Wu Tian said with a cold smile, "Don't think I don't know what kind of tricks you're playing. Let me tell you, these little stunts you're pulling now are all leftovers from my middle school days."

  Jingyun looked at Wu Tian with a strange gaze and said in confusion, "I really don't know why you don't like Chenchen and why you want to annoy her. You two are husband and wife."

  "Husband and wife? Ha! Have you ever seen a wife who not only doesn't help her husband but also hinders his career?" Wu Tian Song let go of Jing Yun's hand, stood up, shook off his clothes, and suddenly became cold and distant. He said to Jing Yun indifferently, "Don't think that just because I called you 'wife' earlier, you have the right to comment on me. You don't understand the situation at all." After finishing speaking, Wu Tian walked over to Lü Zi Feng, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, saying, "It's okay, don't be angry. Since you've chosen this path of digging a hole in the wall, you have to endure being scolded. I hope you'll continue to work hard and not lose heart. Add oil."

  "Thank you, Brother Biao." Lv Zifeng said with a grateful face.

  "No need to thank me! We'll meet again!" Wu Tian waved his hand at Lü Zifeng and left the restaurant.

  When Wu Tian came out of the hotel, Chen Chen's BMW had already driven away. This woman has been bullied a lot today, she is simply a reincarnation of a bully. However, after being arrogant for so many days, it was time for her to be unlucky. After all, the earth is moving, and one person will not always be in an unlucky position, nor can they always stand in a lucky position.

  Wu Tian opened the car door and was about to get in when he heard Chen Guang's voice.

  "Brother-in-law, wait for me! Brother-in-law!"

  "What's wrong?" Wu Tian asked with a frown.

  "Brother-in-law, can you see me off?" Chen Guang said.

  "Are you kidding me? Have you gone crazy? Do you think you look like a flower or your face is a chrysanthemum? You're treating me like a driver?" Wu Tian said with furrowed eyebrows.

  "Brother-in-law, don't blame me, I gave you all my money, not a penny left on me. As for Zifeng, after this meal today, how can I still have the face to sit in his car?" Chen Guang said with a bitter face, completely portraying himself as a victim.

  Wu Tian thought for a moment, and indeed, this kid's performance today was not bad overall. Wu Tian took out his wallet, pulled out 20 yuan, and threw it to Chen Guang, saying, "Here, take it and take a taxi home. Use the remaining money to buy a Zhongnanhai cigarette, and give one to me next time."

  "Ah?" Chen Guang cried with a gloomy face, as if he had lost his parents. "Brother-in-law, can you still give me a way to survive? These twenty bucks might not even be enough for a taxi ride, let alone buying a Zhongnanhai cigarette. Are you going to let me die?"

  "I'll give you a clear direction," Wu Tian said calmly, "Take subway line 4, get off and there's an emergency exit with the sign '2B', don't turn around, just walk straight ahead, and you'll be home. If you think this method won't work, I can take the trouble to beat you up again, then you call 110 or 120, and a special car will come to pick you up."

  " Forget it! I'd rather take a taxi!" Chen Guang turned around and ran off, afraid that Wu Tian would give him another 'caress'.

  A big meal ended in an unpleasant way. No, it should be that some people are happy and some people are sad! However, Wu Tian is clearly not the sad one.

  When he got home, Chenchen had already returned and was sitting alone on the sofa, pretending to be cool again. These days she always liked to pose in the living room, but it was unclear who she was posing for.

  Just as Wu Tian thought Chen Chen wouldn't talk to him, Chen Chen suddenly smiled, and the anger from earlier seemed to dissipate into thin air. Wu Tian was stunned, looking at Chen Chen in surprise - this woman couldn't have been driven mad by him, could she? This is a sickness, she needs to be sent to a mental hospital.

  "On the way back, Mom called. Chen Chen smiled wryly at Wu Tian and said, 'Tomorrow is May 1st, let's go back for dinner.'"

  "Whose mother?" Wu Tian asked.

  "Your mom!"

  Wu Tian nodded and then shook his head, feeling that Chen Chen's answer didn't sound quite right. Seeing Chen Chen's increasingly radiant smile, Wu Tian suddenly thought of something and looked at Chen Chen saying, "You weren't the one who made the call, were you? Let me tell you, tomorrow when we're at my place, don't speak out of turn, got it?"

  "Don't worry, I know what to do!" Chen Chen said 'gently' to Wu Tian, "You treated me like this today, and tomorrow I will return it tenfold. Wu Tian, this matter is not over yet."

  "Is that so?" Wu Tian walked to the front of Chen Chen, stretched out his hand and lifted up the opponent's chin, smiling and said, "You always have such a bad memory, addicted to taking losses, right? You grew such a full chest for nothing, but it can't make up for your stupid brain. It seems that I still need to save you, other men are useless."

  Chen Chen brushed aside Wu Tian's fingers and sneered, "After tomorrow, who will be the one to transcend is still uncertain."

  "See you tomorrow!"

  "Let's go and take a look!"
