"Hello," Ji Jinxian said and nodded coldly, and the atmosphere grew tense. Facing a big shot that could only be seen on the financial channel, even Lin Ze, who had experienced life, was a little nervous.
Fortunately, Shen Wanwan appeared to ease the awkwardness. She smiled at Lin Ze and said, "How is it, Brother Lin? Are you relieved now that I've told you my husband is not working in our industry?"
"Of course. With CEO Ji here, I have no reason to worry," Lin Ze replied, visibly relieved.
It seemed that Shen Wanwan was easier to guide than he had imagined. With such powerful backing, even if Shen Wanwan had bad acting skills, tone-deafness, and lack of coordination, with Ji Jinxian's financial resources, she could still successfully debut.
Not to mention that Shen Wanwan was proficient in all aspects of her career. Whether it was singing, dancing, or acting, Shen Wanwan was good at everything.
Ji Jinxian's face instantly darkened when he saw Shen Wanwan smiling so sweetly at a mature man.
[Why does Shen Wanwan smile so sweetly at everyone?]
[Shouldn't she only be smiling at me?]
Shen Wanwan almost burst out laughing at Ji Jinxian's jealous thoughts. In order to hide the smile on her face, she coughed lightly and changed the topic.
"Brother Lin, it's getting late. You should hurry back. My husband and I are about to have dinner. If you need anything, feel free to give us a call."
"Alright, I'll go back first."
As a smart person, Lin Ze naturally sensed Ji Jinxian's discontent and promptly chose to leave.
After seeing Lin Ze leave, Shen Wanwan opened the passenger seat door and sat inside. She looked at the man with a cold expression and secretly curled her lips.
"Hubby, I'm so hungry!"
Shen Wanwan reached out and held Ji Jinxian's arm, her voice soft and coquettish. The sweet fragrance of milk quickly wafted into Ji Jinxian's nostrils.
Smelling this fragrance, the depression in Ji Jinxian's heart disappeared miraculously. He slightly shifted his gaze and fixed it on Shen Wanwan.
"I've already reserved a table at Yunshang Restaurant."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Jinxian retracted his gaze and started the car, heading towards Yunshang Restaurant. The atmosphere inside the car was very quiet, and the nagging in Ji Jinxian's mind was especially obvious.
[Why isn't the coquettish girl sharing what happened today with me?]
[Why is she so quiet today?]
[How did the interview go? Based on her beaming smile just now, she must have succeeded, right?]
Hearing Ji Jinxian's curious murmurs, Shen Wanwan smiled and took the initiative to share the joy of the day with him.
"Hubby, guess how the interview went today?"
"I don't want to guess."
Ji Jinxian was focused on driving, but his ears were perked up. He was extremely curious about whether Shen Wanwan had succeeded in the interview or not.
[Why does this spoiled girl always like to keep people guessing?]
[Did she pass the interview?]
"It seems like you're not very curious, hubby. I'll stop talking then."
Shen Wanwan pretended to be disappointed and lowered her head. Just then, the car stopped at the traffic light. Ji Jinxian took the opportunity to turn his head.
Ji Jinxian's heart felt a little uncomfortable for some reason when he saw the spoiled girl lowering her head. He had never coaxed anyone before, so he was trying to find words to comfort her in his mind.
"Actually...I, I am also a little curious."
Ji Jinxian's ears turned red when he finished speaking. He did not know why he said that, but he instinctively did not want to disappoint the spoiled girl.
"Really? If you really don't want to know, hubby, I won't force you."
Shen Wanwan looked up in surprise. Her bright eyes blinked and she looked very cute.
"Really, I want to know."
Ji Jinxian nodded and quickly retracted his gaze. He started his car and deliberately avoided looking at Shen Wanwan.
"Hehe."
Shen Wanwan smiled and began to share her joy as if she had been fired up.
"I passed the interview. I got the female lead role."
Her tsundere tone coupled with her delicate little face made her look extremely adorable. Ji Jinxian had to admit that his heart was a mess for a moment.
The car soon arrived at Yunshang Restaurant. This restaurant was located on the top floor of the city's largest shopping mall. The restaurant was named Yunshang Restaurant, because of its geographical location.
The top floor of the restaurant was very high, with tempered glass walls on all four sides that made it feel like being in the clouds.
This restaurant was a famous high-end restaurant in the world. The people who came here were all dignitaries from all walks of life. Getting a reservation here required waiting in line for a few days, even a few weeks.
The two of them took the elevator straight to the top floor. The elevator slowly opened, and a beautiful landscape screen greeted their eyes.
A waitress in a red cheongsam greeted them with a smile.
"Sir, Miss, do you have a reservation?" she asked.
"Yes, the surname is Ji," Ji Jinxian replied.
"Mr. Ji, please follow me," the waitress nodded and led them into Yunshang Restaurant. The restaurant covered an area of nearly 180 square meters, and the dining tables were separated by beautiful screens and various green plants for privacy.
The waitress led them to a table by the window and sat down. Ji Jinxian handed the menu beside him to Shen Wanwan.
Shen Wanwan ordered a few simple dishes before returning the menu to Ji Jinxian. While they waited for their food to arrive, Shen Wanwan chatted excitedly with Ji Jinxian about her audition.
Ji Jinxian was also listening attentively. He did not think that Shen Wanwan was too noisy. If it were any other time, he would only frown impatiently.
Ji Jinxian was not a person who liked a lively environment. Compared to a lively atmosphere, he preferred quietness.
He had never imagined that he would marry a wife who talked incessantly. Before they got married, the traits he had in mind for his future wife were someone quiet, sensible, and not interfering with each other.
However, when he met Shen Wanwan, all the adjectives in his mind disappeared at that moment and were replaced by a coquettish girl named "Shen Wanwan."
As Ji Jinxian was deep in thought, Shen Wanwan suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, blinking as she asked, "Hubby, am I amazing?"
Her cute expression and tone of asking for praise made her look like a kitten waiting for its owner's praise.
"Impressive," Ji Jinxian replied, speaking honestly for once. His gaze remained fixed on Shen Wanwan and didn't move away.
"Then, hubby, why don't you praise me?" Shen Wanwan pouted unhappily. Her rosy lips glistened under the sunlight. Ji Jinxian's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he witnessed this moment.
"Very good," he said finally.
Ji Jinxian, who rarely complimented others, struggled to squeeze out a few words. He avoided looking at Shen Wanwan's face, afraid of losing control of his thoughts.
"Hehe."
Shen Wanwan was delighted to receive his praise. She looked at Ji Jinxian with a smile, but then she seemed to have thought of something and felt a little disappointed.
"However, I'll be joining the crew in two days. I'll have to stay in a hotel with the crew, so I might not be able to see my husband."
Shen Wanwan complained about her reluctance to part with him. Ji Jinxian, who heard the news, felt a little upset for some reason and blurted out the words without thinking.
"Then I'll come to visit you on set."
