As Shen Jun offered his explanation, the smile on Wen Nian’s face faded to the point where it was nearly imperceptible. While she remained silent and avoided direct eye contact with Shen Jun, she couldn’t help but be constantly aware of the arms clinging tightly to Shen Jun. The situation began to feel suffocating.

Jin Ting hugged Shen Jun’s arm tightly and greeted everyone with a smile. “Uncle, Auntie, Brother, Sister, Happy New Year.”

Looking at this cute girl, Wen Xing and Zhou Mei also smiled and replied, “Happy New Year.”

Wen Yu also smiled and nodded. Although Wen Nian was uncomfortable, she still smiled and responded.

Jin Ting tugged on Shen Jun’s arm, gently urging him forward. “Shen Jun, I would like to explore some other places too. My aunt mentioned that she’s preparing my favorite dishes for dinner tonight. We should make sure to sightsee swiftly, or we might not have enough time to visit your house.”

Realizing that it wasn’t an opportune moment to explain further, Shen Jun decided that it would only make things more awkward if they stayed. He bid farewell to the Wen family and accompanied Jin Ting as they descended the rockery. The tour guide who had brought them to the location followed closely behind.

Watching Shen Jun and Jin Ting disappear, Wen Nian took a deep breath.

The Wen family remained oblivious to the complexities between Wen Nian and Shen Jun. They continued their sightseeing with enthusiasm and high spirits.

After being forcefully pulled down from the rockery, Shen Jun’s patience wore thin. He forcefully removed Jin Ting’s hand from his arm and spoke with a cold tone, “1 don’t like being touched by others. 1 will take you home. Right now, immediately!”

Observing Shen Jun’s expressionless face, Jin Ting’s heart trembled slightly. She didn’t dare to express her desire to continue sightseeing and obediently followed behind Shen Jun.

Upon hearing Shen Jun instructing the driver to take them to her home, Jin Ting gathered her courage and softly protested, “Auntie and Grandpa invited me to your house for dinner.”

Shen Jun leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed. He didn’t respond.

Seeing this, Jin Ting did not dare to say anything else. She obediently got out of the car in front of her house.

As Jin Ting noticed that the Shen family’s car had vanished from sight, she released the breath she had been holding and let out a sigh of relief. She reached out and gently patted her racing heart. “I truly risked my life this time. I crossed the line of danger repeatedly. Shen Jun, the older you become, the more intimidating you are. I can’t handle it. That young lady is incredibly courageous.”

Unable to visit the Shen family, Jin Ting retrieved her phone from her bag and dialed Zhao Jiao’s number. After Zhao Jiao picked up the call, Jin Ting proceeded to provide a detailed account of the day’s events and outcomes.

After Jin Ting got out of the car, Shen Jun immediately sent a message to Wen Nian to explain his relationship with Jin Ting again.

However, upon arriving home, Shen Jun did not receive any response from Wen Nian. He let out a sigh of relief. Upon entering the house, he noticed Zhao Jiao sitting on the sofa, watching television with a contented expression.

Shen Jun took a seat beside Zhao Jiao and spoke with a serious tone, “Mom, I have fulfilled your request. You are not allowed to arrange any more matchmaking attempts with her in the future!”

Pretending to be oblivious, Zhao Jiao glanced around and inquired curiously, “Where is Tingting? Didn’t I ask you to bring her back for dinner?”

Shen Jun said without changing his expression, “She’s busy. She will visit some other day.”

Understanding that she had pushed Shen Jun to his limit for the day, Zhao Jiao decided not to push further. She responded, “If that’s the case, then let’s forget about it for now. 1’11 invite her to our house another day.”

Even after dinner, Shen Jun continued to receive no response from Wen Nian. Unable to wait any longer, he decided to directly call Wen Nian.

“Hello,” came Wen Nian’s slightly cold voice from the other end of the receiver.

Shen Jun paused for a moment and probed carefully, “Are you angry?”

“No, don’t think too much about it. 1 just saw your message and was about to reply when your call came.”

Wen Nian’s voice lacked any trace of emotion. Shen Jun’s intuition told him that Wen Nian was currently angry.

Before Shen Jun could devise a plan to appease Wen Nian and improve the situation, Wen Nian’s voice interrupted again. “Let’s not discuss it for now. 1 have wasted half of my day already, and I need to hurry now.”

With that, Wen Nian abruptly ended the call without waiting for Shen Jun’s response.

Shen Jun stared at the abruptly ended call and felt a sense of anguish. He would have preferred it if Wen Nian had expressed his anger directly instead of leaving him in this state of indifference.

On the other end, Wen Nian was also experiencing a great deal of discomfort. The image of Jin Ting’s arm around Shen Jun kept replaying in his mind, almost as if it was a declaration of her possession.

Wen Nian understood that Shen Jun had denied their relationship in the past due to his concerns for Wen Xing, Zhou Mei, and their mutual decision to keep it private for the time being.

Despite being Shen Jun’s true girlfriend, Wen Nian found herself unable to confront the situation where she had to witness other girls holding onto her boyfriend while remaining silent. This overwhelming sense of powerlessness left Wen Nian feeling deeply frustrated..
