Chapter 318: Ugly Wife

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Before Wen Nian had finished packing her luggage, Shen Jun was already waiting downstairs.

Wen Nian spent over an hour discussing with her family and showed them some of the videos that Director Xu had filmed. With Shen Jun’s presence, Zhou Mei and Wen Xing felt somewhat reassured.

Initially, Wen Xing wanted to accompany her, but he remembered that he hadn’t been much help last time and had even been a burden. So, he decided not to insist. Wen Nian also declined Zhou Mei’s offer to accompany her, citing that there was no extra funding for the public service advertisement.

“You’re still a child after all. How can I be at ease?” Zhou Mei nagged as she packed her clothes.

Wen Nian wrapped her arms around her mother’s neck and said sweetly, “Mom, Shen Jun will be with me, so don’t worry. Besides, it’s just a few scenes. We might finish filming in a day or two.”

“That’s right. With Shen Jun there, everything will be fine. Shen Jun is a reliable young man, and…” Wen Xing had wanted to say more, but when he saw his wife glaring at him, he stopped.

Wen Nian’s phone rang. It was Shen Jun reminding her to go to the airport.

Zhou Mei glanced out of the window. The Shen Jun family’s car had been waiting at the door for a while. Then, she reluctantly whispered to Wen Nian, “Nian Nian, you’re a girl. Don’t let others take advantage of you, understand? No matter how good Shen Jun is, you’re still students. It’s the last semester of your third year of high school. You…”

Hearing her mother’s repeated lectures that began with “you,” Wen Nian’s face flushed with embarrassment.

Blushing, she grabbed her suitcase and said, “Mom, I know! Don’t worry.”

The moment she opened the door, she saw Shen Jun already waiting outside.

He was wearing a medium-length beige wool coat and a white scarf, and he had a warm smile on his face.

“Uncle, Auntie, I’m here to pick Wen Nian up.” He took the suitcase from Wen Nian’s hand very naturally. Wen Nian suddenly thought of what her mother had said just now and her face turned even redder.

“Wen Nian, are you sick? Do you have a fever?” Shen Jun reached out, intending to touch her forehead.

Wen Nian reacted like a startled deer, quickly stepping back and gently pulling his hand. She motioned for him to follow her downstairs. “Mom, Dad, I’ll give you a call once I reach my destination!”

With that, the two of them hurriedly entered the car, as though they were escaping.

Zhou Mei watched the car disappear into the distance and sighed inwardly. But when she considered how impressive Shen Jun had appeared just moments ago and then thought about her own son, who was still in university, obsessed with gaming, and without a girlfriend, the comparison was truly maddening!

It wasn’t until they were aboard the plane that Wen Nian’s complexion returned to its usual hue.

“What just happened back there? Were you all discussing me at home?” Shen Jun helped Wen Nian fold her clothes and requested a glass of fruit juice, gazing at her with a soft expression.

Wen Nian feigned sipping the fruit juice and replied with a hint of irritation, “Who said we’re always talking about you? Don’t flatter yourself.”

“Oh-” Shen Jun deliberately drew out the word, a mischievous grin on his face. “Maybe they didn’t talk about me, but their faces turned even redder when they saw me. That’s quite the coincidence, isn’t it?”

Seizing the opportunity, Wen Nian stealthily extended her fingers in an attempt to pinch his waist, but just as she was about to strike, a female voice interrupted them from above.

“Shen Jun, Wen Nian, are the two of you traveling to the capital together?”

Upon hearing Jiang Chun’s voice, Wen Nian discreetly withdrew her mischievous claws. She responded with a polite nod, and Shen Jun offered a subtle acknowledgment to Jiang Chun.

Jiang Chun hadn’t anticipated that after such a long period of no contact with Shen Jun, he wouldn’t even exchange a word with her.

She felt a twinge of indignation but maintained her friendly smile as she inquired, “Is Wen Nian coming to your place for the New Year? Are you planning for her to meet your parents before university? How many days will you be staying home? Should we coordinate our travel plans and book tickets together?”

The group of young adults in the first-class cabin had already attracted attention due to their striking appearances. When Jiang Chun’s question echoed through the cabin, it piqued the curiosity of fellow passengers, and even the flight attendants stole glances in their direction.

The passengers around them were curious to get a glimpse of the girl who had not only entered a relationship at a young age but was now audaciously planning to stay at her boyfriend’s house.

Feeling the weight of the surrounding gazes, Shen Jun’s expression grew colder. He cast an icy glance at the people around him, causing them to quickly avert their eyes.

Finally, Shen Jun turned his attention to Jiang Chun and replied, “Wen Nian is going to the capital to film a public service advertisement.”

Jiang Chun had initially contemplated making things awkward for Wen Nian. Just as she was about to offer an apology, she was caught off guard by Shen Jun’s unexpected remark. “Meeting the parents isn’t out of the question. After all, even an ’ugly’ daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws someday..”
