Because she was addicted

Zooming in on the picture, Wen Jia saw that Tang Ning's wrist was wrapped in gauze, with faint traces of blood.

Therefore, the photo must have been taken secretly last night.

She breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Gu, if the Tang family sees this photo, do you think you can still live in Haicheng?"

It took a long time for Gu Nan to reply to his WeChat message.

"Wen Jia, don't try to scare me with the Tang family. You'd be better off worrying about yourself than me."

"I'll return those words to you exactly as they were. And by the way, keep Shen Yu on a leash, don't let him come out barking all the time."

On the 48th floor, Gu Nan saw Wen Jia's reply in her office and angrily slammed her phone onto her desk.

She casually flipped through the photos stored on her computer.

Ever since her unexpected encounter with Lu Chenyan at Haicheng Hospital, she had been on her guard. Through the hospital's inside information, she discovered that Tang Ning was hospitalized and pregnant.

When Tang Ning became pregnant, the first person she notified was Lu Chenyan.

Lu Chenyan accompanied her to her prenatal checkup last time.

This is very problematic.

She called a friend who was studying in the UK.

"Do you know Lu Chenyan? I need his help with something. Do you have his contact information?"

"The second young master of the Lu family? Gu Nan, are you kidding me? How could I possibly have his contact information? Besides, he returned to China two months ago and I heard he went to Haicheng."

"He's come to Haicheng?" Gu Nan pretended not to know.

"Yes. I heard he went looking for his unrequited love."

"White Moonlight? Who's that?"

"Tang Ning, you don't know, he had a crush on the eldest daughter of the Tang family for five years in England, but she only treated him like a younger brother and ignored him completely, then went back to China to get married. I heard he even swore he would definitely win Tang Ning over. Honestly, it's unbelievable that such a fickle man is so devoted..."

Gu Nan chatted with the other person for a long time.

After hanging up the phone, she couldn't contain her joy, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Tang Ning, Fu Huaishen's fiancée.

The Fu family had already accepted their daughter-in-law.

She didn't tell her fiancé about her pregnancy, but instead told her former crush. Lu Chenyan ran around with the test results, treating her like his girlfriend.

Gu Nan also heard that Fu Huaishen had a mistress outside.

Therefore, the mutual affection between Fu Huaishen and Tang Ning was just a facade in public; in private, they were each doing their own thing.

That idiot Wen Jia thinks she's struck gold!

What right does she have to ridicule and mock me?!

If Wen Jia won't let her have an easy time, she won't let Wen Jia have an easy time either.

……

Wen Jia had a busy day.

She heard from Su Qin that researching energy storage batteries was just one direction in Professor Fang's laboratory; their team's main research focus was photovoltaic power generation. Professor Su revealed that the country would soon be undertaking a major initiative in Northwest China, and photovoltaic power generation was expected to experience explosive growth in the next decade.

With her new energy vehicle project gone, Wen Jia wanted to find another way.

All day long, besides her regular work, she focused on studying this project. She thoroughly analyzed national policies, the situation in the Northwest region, and the photovoltaic power generation companies currently on the market.

It wasn't until 5 p.m., close to the end of the workday, that I finally took a short break to get some water from the tea room.

As soon as I entered the break room, I saw several secretaries chatting together. Yimo was there too.

Upon seeing her enter, Yimo immediately ran towards her.

"Jiajia, breaking news!"

"What?"

Wen Jia rubbed her sore neck. She had been busy all day and hadn't even noticed that the president's office was in complete chaos.

"Didn't you check your phone? Breaking news on Toutiao!"

As she spoke, Yimo cleared her throat with a cough, striking a pose as if she were about to announce major news.

"M Group President Fu Huaishen will soon be marrying Tang Ning, the daughter of the Tang Group. Jiajia, just now, this news dominated the headlines of major media outlets, and now all 20 million people in Haicheng probably know about it."

"Who is President Fu with?"

Wen Jia thought she had misheard and quickly asked.

"Ms. Tang Ning? They got engaged abroad, and when they came back a year ago, they said they were getting married. I don't know why the wedding date kept getting postponed for so long. Now, it's all good, my goddess is finally getting married..."

Wen Jia could no longer hear what Yi Mo said after that.

She quickly picked up her phone, and sure enough, it was flooded with all sorts of messages, all about Fu Huaishen and Tang Ning getting married.

"Where is President Fu?" she asked.

I haven't seen him all day.

"He didn't come. The groom must be very busy right now. He and his sweetheart are finally getting married, he's probably hiding somewhere enjoying himself."

Yi Mo greatly admires Tang Ning.

She believes that women should be like Tang Ning: born into a good family, highly educated, beautiful and respectable, with a handsome and rich fiancé—truly the center of attention wherever they go.

"I'm so happy for President Tang."

Yi Mo sighed.

The secretaries were chatting again about where to hold the wedding, where to order the wedding dress, and how to arrange the banquet. They figured the secretariat would have to help out with those things soon.

The tea room was bustling with activity.

on the way home.

Wen Jia told Lu Chenyan about it. Lu Chenyan held her hand with his right hand and gripped the steering wheel with his left, saying calmly:

"I heard about it. Early this morning, Mrs. Fu went to the hospital and personally agreed in front of the Tang family. The news has already come out, so the two families should have reached an agreement."

"Did President Fu agree?"

Wen Jia thought of Fu Huaishen.

If it weren't for what happened last night, Fu Huaishen would already be on a plane to England with Shen Li by now.

She couldn't tell whether she felt sympathy or relief.

"?"

Lu Chenyan turned to look at Wen Jia.

"What did you hear?"

"no."

Wen Jia didn't know how to start the conversation, so she simply shook her head.

Lu Chenyan grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Why are you thinking about them? Instead of wasting time thinking about what you want to eat tonight."

Wen Jia wants to eat chopped chili fish head.

The two passed by a supermarket and bought an extra-large fish head.

Back home, Wen Jia rummaged through the cupboard and found all sorts of chili peppers, all of which her sister Wen Lin had grown and sent to her.

Lu Chenyan pushed her out of the kitchen, then spent a full half hour tinkering inside before emerging with a large plate of fish heads in both hands. He picked up a piece of fish, blew on it, and handed it to her.

"Try it, is this the taste?"

Wen Jia didn't look at the dishes; she looked at Lu Chenyan, whose eyes and nose were red from the smell of chili peppers.

"Quickly, drink some water and calm down."

Lu Chenyan poured a large glass of water down Wen Jia's throat and then casually stuffed a piece of fish into her mouth.

"Is it good?"

"Mmm, amazing. Super authentic!" Wen Jia gave her feedback in almost a fraction of a second.

Lu Chenyan immediately laughed, "The meat hasn't even entered your mouth yet, are you trying to fool a three-year-old?"

"Really, I'm not kidding. Only my dad could cook this well, even my sister might not be able to. I haven't had anything this authentic in years, just the smell is so satisfying."

Wen Jia continued to praise.

Lu Chenyan's eyes crinkled with laughter at the compliments. "Hearing you say that, doesn't that mean I can be your dad? Call me 'Dad' and let me hear it!"

Wen Jia raised her hand and punched him, "You've got some nerve!"

Lu Chenyan suddenly hugged her and said seriously, "Then instead of calling me Dad, call me husband?"

"You really are a three-year-old!" Wen Jia blushed.

I'm serious.

"roll."

Lu Chenyan chuckled softly and kissed her on the lips.

"You don't call me 'Dad' or 'Husband' either. You really have no conscience."

"Should I wash up after I've eaten?"

Wen Jia laughed, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Lu Chenyan immediately seemed to be injected with adrenaline, picked her up, spun her around, placed her on a chair, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Alright! I'll go and prepare two more good dishes right away to serve Your Majesty your meal."

Lu Chenyan can eat spicy food, but he doesn't know how to eat it properly.

But for Wen Jia's sake, he puts chili in all his cooking. He ate the chopped chili fish head with a slurping sound, tears and snot streaming down his face. Wen Jia laughed at his cooking while feeding him milk to relieve the spiciness.

During the meal.

Lu Chenyan's phone rang.

Wen Jia glanced at it; it was Meng Tao.

"What?" Lu Chenyan put the phone on speakerphone, tilting his head back and acting coquettishly, asking Wen Jia to wipe his snot. Wen Jia found it amusing.

"Young Master Lu, let's go out for a drink." Meng Tao's voice was unrestrained and unruly.

"No, I'm having dinner with my girlfriend." Lu Chenyan pointed to the milk again, asking Wen Jia to feed him.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Meng Tao scoffed repeatedly. "Wen Jia really has some tricks up her sleeve, keeping your young master Lu completely indoors. Tell me, how long has it been since you last came out to hang out with your brothers?"

"Get lost!" Lu Chenyan laughed and cursed as he was about to hang up the phone.

"No way! All the brothers are here, just waiting for you. You decide what to do. Anyway, if you don't come, we'll put all our expenses on your tab tonight," Meng Tao said shamelessly.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Jia said:

"Go ahead. I don't want people to say I'm using tricks to keep you hanging on."

Lu Chenyan leaned his head on her shoulder, "I don't want to get up. I'm waiting for you to take a bath."

"Come back soon, I'm waiting for you." Wen Jia kissed him on the cheek.

"I'll go for a bit, I'll be right back."

"Yes, I'll just organize the project and show it to you when I get back."

Lu Chenyan smiled as he left, drove all the way to Enchantment, and when he opened the door to the private room, his smile froze on his face.

The room was filled with men and women, with Tang Ning sitting in the very center.

"Ayan, you're here. Come sit here." Tang Ning smiled and gestured for him to come over.
