Shen Jun, ever perceptive, glanced at the situation and suggested, “Shall we find another place to eat?”
Wen Nian swiftly shook her head. “It may not be extraordinary, but it’s still edible. Let’s not waste food.”
After their satisfying lunch, the couple leisurely wandered through the charming town. The weekend had attracted a fair share of tourists, but fortunately, it wasn’t overcrowded since it wasn’t a holiday.
As they strolled along the streets lined with quaint shops, the sun beamed overhead, casting a warm glow. The temperature rose, causing beads of perspiration to form on Wen Nian and Shen Jun’s foreheads. They agreed it was time to retreat to their hotel and rest before venturing out again when the evening breeze brought relief.
They were excited for the evening festivities, which promised bonfires and captivating activities unique to the town. That’s when the real magic would unfold.
With Shen Jun pedaling the bicycle and Wen Nian enjoying the ride, they returned it to the rental spot conveniently located near their hotel.
Just as they arrived at the hotel’s entrance, Wen Nian’s eyes widened as she spotted Jiang Chun emerging from inside, an unexpected encounter.
Jiang Chun’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly approached the couple, a smile playing on her lips. “Wen Nian, Shen Jun!”
Wen Nian’s good mood was ruined. It was rare for her to travel and relax, yet she had to bump into someone with ulterior motives. However, she still smiled and greeted, “What a coincidence.”
Jiang Chun, feeling slightly uneasy, stole a glance at Shen Jun, her expression betraying a hint of guilt. She maintained her composure and addressed Wen Nian, “Yes, indeed.”
Wen Nian couldn’t help but notice Jiang Chun’s subtle movements, causing her gaze to turn to Shen Jun.
Shen Jun raised his eyebrows, his gaze shifting to Wen Nian with a perplexed expression. Inside, he cursed under his breath, feeling utterly powerless against Jiang Chun’s lackluster acting skills.
Wen Nian averted her gaze and inquired, “Are you here with your family?”
Jiang Chun flashed a smile and responded, “No, I’m here on my own to unwind. Have you had dinner yet? Let me treat you to a meal tonight as an apology for the trouble caused by Jiang Ning. Consider it my way of making amends on her behalf.”
Jiang Chun was no fool. By intentionally revealing her presence, she swiftly shifted the topic to an apology. She knew that leveraging this apology was her way of persuading Shen Jun to bring Wen Nian to this place.
The scorching weather had already made Wen Nian a bit irritable, and Jiang Chun’s persistent presence felt like an unwelcome nuisance. Wen Nian responded bluntly, “There’s no need. I have no desire to engage with your Jiang family. It’s better for us to have minimal interaction.”
With those words, Wen Nian took the lead and entered the hotel. Jiang Chun, with her eyes turning red, looked at Shen Jun expectantly. Shen Jun sighed in resignation, shrugged his shoulders, and quickly followed Wen Nian.
Because there were other people in the elevator, Wen Nian endured until they entered the guest room before asking Shen Jun, “Did you invite me here because Jiang Chun told you?”
Shen Jun quickly shook his head and said, “I just thought since it’s summer vacation, it would be nice to go out and have some fun with you.”
Wen Nian looked into Shen Jun’s eyes intently, while his heart was in turmoil, he maintained a calm demeanor.
Unable to detect any issues, Wen Nian decided not to dwell on the matter further. With a slightly narrowed gaze and a hint of a threatening tone, she said, “You better not let me discover anything.”
Shen Jun could only force a smile and said, “You’re always overthinking things. There’s nothing for you to discover.”
Wen Nian pushed Shen Jun out of the room. “Hurry up and go back to take a shower and rest. I heard that the activity tonight will last until 12.”
Shen Jun looked at the closed door and had no choice but to return to his room.
After taking a shower and taking a nap, Wen Nian felt refreshed. She picked up her phone and saw that Shen Jun hadn’t messaged her yet, indicating he was still asleep. She freshened up and decided to explore the resort on her own.
The resort wasn’t very large. Apart from a 22-story hotel, the other areas were designated as entertainment zones.
Wen Nian stood in the hotel lobby and looked at the resort’s layout map. There was a golf course, a entertainment complex that included singing, bars, video games, and movies. After deciding to go to the arcade, she came face to face with Jiang Chun.
Wen Nian secretly rolled her eyes. She finally knew what it meant to be haunted.
Jogging forward with excitement, Jiang Chun exclaimed, “Wen Nian, are you planning to explore the resort? 1 can be your guide. This place belongs to my uncle’s business, so I’m quite familiar with it.”
Wen Nian never anticipated that the resort belonged to the Jiang family. As she connected the dots, she realized why Shen Jun had turned down her idea of staying at a guesthouse and brought them here instead. It all started to make sense.
Wen Nian couldn’t contain her anger and burst into laughter. She had no intention of playing mind games with Jiang Chun any longer. She stared directly at Jiang Chun and confronted her, “What’s your ulterior motive for getting close to me? If you’re interested in Shen Jun, go after him. Why do you keep pestering me?”
Jiang Chun, seeing Wen Nian directly confronting her, chose not to reveal the truth. After all, if she was going to play the game, she had to go all the way. She looked at Wen Nian with a surprised expression and said, “Wen Nian, what are you talking about? You’ve misunderstood me.”
Wen Nian looked at Jiang Chun’s pretentious expression and suddenly turned around..
