Flash Marriage, Deep Love-Chapter 345: Chu Chen’s Sister (2)

Day after day, time passes quickly. Tonight, before the night had fully fallen, Shen Lingxing left work and drove himself to Mi Jing’s coffee shop to pick her up so they could attend Yao Xinchen’s company’s opening ceremony together.

"Honey, do you think I should go home and change clothes first?" Mi Jing sat in the passenger seat, feeling not exactly nervous, but certainly not entirely at ease.

Though tonight’s event was mainly about Yao Xinchen, as Shen Lingxing’s wife, she wanted to make an effort with her appearance. Even if she couldn’t enhance Shen Lingxing’s reputation, she at least shouldn’t embarrass him, Mi Jing thought.

"Are you hungry? How about grabbing some food first?" Shen Lingxing deflected her question, speaking in a relaxed tone.

"Not hungry."

Seeing Shen Lingxing so calm, Mi Jing suddenly felt a bit more at ease. She thought, with him here, what was there to worry about?

"Even if you’re not hungry, have a little something. You might not like the food at the event, and it might not be enough to fill you up." With that, Shen Lingxing turned the steering wheel, and the car made a turn, driving forward several meters before stopping in front of a hotpot restaurant.

Li Ji Hotpot!

Seeing the familiar sign, Mi Jing’s mood instantly brightened. This was the place she had first brought Shen Lingxing on the day they hastily registered their marriage.

Faced with delicious food, Mi Jing immediately cast aside her previous concerns, happily entering the restaurant with Shen Lingxing and having a hearty meal.

"The food here is really amazing." Having eaten to her heart’s content, Mi Jing walked out of the restaurant with Shen Lingxing, deeply inhaling the fresh air and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingxing glanced at Mi Jing and, seeing her in high spirits, smiled gently.

"Lingxing, did I eat too much just now?" Only after the food had settled in her stomach did Mi Jing realize she’d eaten too much, her stomach now bulging. Wearing a dress later would definitely be unflattering.

"It’s alright, it’s a bit much, but not too much," Shen Lingxing said with a slight smile.

Indeed!

Now Shen Lingxing was starting to resent her.

Mi Jing suddenly pulled a face, feeling a bit annoyed and self-critical.

"I was just joking..." Noticing Mi Jing’s change in mood, Shen Lingxing hurriedly explained, but before he could finish, Mi Jing’s laughter interrupted him, "Haha, did I trick you?"

With that, Mi Jing playfully blinked, then walked ahead of Shen Lingxing with a lively stride.

So she ate a bit too much, what’s worth worrying about such a small matter!

Mi Jing’s brief sadness was fleeting; someone as cheerful as her was most relaxed when it came to food.

Having skipped her midday nap, once she was back in the car with a full belly, Mi Jing quickly grew sleepy. After a long yawn, she soon fell asleep.

To Shen Lingxing, Mi Jing had always been a lovable woman. She was genuine and carefree, never overthinking, eating when she wanted, sleeping when she felt like it, everything at her leisure. Because of this carefree attitude, Shen Lingxing cherished every moment with her, even if they did nothing but quietly look at each other, he felt very content.

When she woke up, the driver’s seat was empty, and Shen Lingxing was nowhere in sight, leaving Mi Jing alone in the car.

"Where did he go?" Mi Jing, holding the suit jacket that was covering her, rubbed her eyes and groggily muttered.

Just waking up, her mind was a haze. After two seconds of dazedness, once the sleepiness faded and she became alert, Mi Jing turned her face to look outside.

Hiss——

The sight outside startled her. Mi Jing sharply inhaled, suddenly frightened by the man standing motionless by the car.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Mi Jing was sure she hadn’t been to this place before. Besides, she was very certain that Shen Lingxing would never leave her alone. So, he must have something to attend to and had just stepped away temporarily, and the man outside was likely arranged by him.

"Hello, could you tell me where we are? Where is Shen Lingxing?" Mi Jing lowered the car window and politely asked the man.

"This is Nana’s Hair Studio. Mr. Shen is inside. Mrs. Shen, would you like to go in now?" The man stepped aside, made a slight bow, and respectfully asked.

"Yes." Mi Jing nodded, then opened the car door and got out. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"This way, please." The man extended his right hand forward, gesturing for her to follow, then started leading the way into the studio.

Creak, the door opened. Seeing the interior decor, Mi Jing was slightly taken aback.

From the outside, this place was unrecognizable as a stylish hair studio. Unlike typical stores, the sign above simply read "Nana." No distinct advertisement words, no clear annotation, just a simple design—white lettering on a black background, neither flashy nor opulent, almost excessively low-key, inexplicably giving Mi Jing a sense of familiarity.

After the surprise passed, Mi Jing slightly furrowed her brows, puzzled by the faint familiarity lingering in her mind.

Xiu Se!

Suddenly, a name flashed swiftly through Mi Jing’s mind. Then she remembered Xiu Se’s sign, white letters on a black background, identical in style to this studio’s sign!

Could it be that Chu Chen is the owner of this studio? Mi Jing wondered.

"Boss, Mrs. Shen has arrived."

Just as that thought formed, the man’s voice wafted into Mi Jing’s ears. Instantly, she lifted her gaze and followed his line of sight, seeing a stylishly dressed, exquisitely beautiful woman.

Not Chu Chen.

Mi Jing blinked, glancing at the unfamiliar woman two meters ahead, and smiled awkwardly.

"Hello, sis," the woman suddenly smiled brightly and walked confidently toward Mi Jing.

Sis?

Was she addressing her?

Puzzled, Mi Jing looked around. Seeing no one else behind her, she smiled back at the woman once again.

"Sis, since you just woke up, would you like a cup of coffee to refresh yourself?" The woman asked warmly and kindly as she approached Mi Jing.

"Haha." Mi Jing laughed somewhat awkwardly and softly said, "No, thank you."

"Then let’s sit over there first." With those words, the woman headed towards the guest area. Mi Jing looked around, didn’t see Shen Lingxing, and decided to follow her.

"Are you Shen Lingxing’s friend?" Besides Shen Xing’er and Shen Jiajia, Mi Jing hadn’t heard Shen Lingxing mention having other sisters, so she guessed this confident and beautiful woman must be one of Shen Lingxing’s friends.
