Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict-Chapter 1998 - 1997 Trying to Date

Jing Xiaocha bought the novel according to the title Li Minxu gave her.

When she finished reading the novel, she was completely shocked.

Just like Li Minxu said, several plots in the novel were exactly like hers. It wasn’t just the plot; the structure, outline, and character settings were all similar to hers.

If her novel were published, it would definitely be accused of plagiarism.

Jing Xiaocha couldn’t understand why the other person’s work was just like hers.

The other person was a well-known romance writer and had already published many novels.

The most important point was that Jing Xiaocha didn’t follow the usual path. Her novel included new elements, and even if they were twin sisters, they couldn’t possibly have such identical ideas.

She felt indescribably depressed, as if her heart was blocked by a pile of rubble, extremely uncomfortable.

She spent an entire day reading, analyzing, and summarizing, arriving at the only answer: the other person could only have known her outline and concept and rushed to write and publish it before her.

There’s no way Jing Xiaocha plagiarized the other person; every scene was her own creation. So how did they manage to copy her?

Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose in Jing Xiaocha’s heart, and she dialed Li Minxu’s number.

The phone rang several times before a voice, accompanied by a lot of background noise, came through, "Hello."

"Editor Li, I’ve read that novel. Are you free now? I need to see you."

Jing Xiaocha tried her best to control her emotions, speaking in a calm tone as usual, though if you listened carefully, you could detect a trace of coldness. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"I’m not free right now."

Judging by the background noise, he seemed to be in a place like a bar. Jing Xiaocha could hear applause and cheers.

She didn’t want to wait any longer; she wanted to meet Li Minxu immediately and uncover the truth.

"Where are you now? I’ll come to you."

Jing Xiaocha held back, but her voice carried a hint of stubbornness that wouldn’t allow refusal.

**

In the extremely romantic western restaurant.

Wen Jin sat across from a graceful and elegant, very beautiful woman dressed in a blue dress.

The sound of a piano filled the air, without disrupting the customers’ conversations.

"I hope I’m not interrupting your work."

The woman’s voice was gentle and pleasant as she smiled at Wen Jin.

Wen Jin’s expression was gentle, his demeanor warm, "No, I don’t have any engagements tonight."

At this, the woman smiled with relief, "That’s good, I was worried about interrupting your work. Since you don’t have any engagements, where should we go after dinner?"

"Where do you want to go?"

Instead of answering, Wen Jin asked in return. Sitting opposite him was the girl Gu Yan mentioned last time, who had just returned from abroad, named Ou Yihan.

Ou Yihan’s bright eyes flashed with a hint of mischief, "I have a friend who owns a bar. Come with me for a while, so my dad won’t say anything."

Wen Jin laughed, "Does Uncle Ou not allow you to go to your friend’s bar?"

Ou Yihan pouted, "My dad says girls shouldn’t go to places like bars. I’m such a good girl that I haven’t gone before."

Wen Jin couldn’t help but smile.

Ou Yihan didn’t really look like a "good girl."

Though she appeared gentle and refined, Wen Jin’s intuition told him this girl wasn’t as obedient as she seemed.

But she was quite charming.

After meeting once over the weekend, he exchanged numbers with Ou Yihan to fulfill his promise to Mo Xiuchen from last week.

This afternoon, he received a call from Ou Yihan inviting him to dinner tonight, and he agreed.

"Alright, since I’m free tonight, I’ll accompany you to your friend’s bar later." Wen Jin paused for two seconds and agreed warmly.

Ou Yihan’s face immediately lit up with a joyful smile, "Wen Jin, you’re really nice."

"It seems there are benefits to having a boyfriend."

She muttered to herself, and Wen Jin, who didn’t quite hear it, raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "What?"

"Ah, hehe, I said it suddenly occurred to me that having a boyfriend might not be bad." Her fair face blushed slightly as she looked at Wen Jin with embarrassment, "Wen Jin, if after we get to know each other, we find we like each other and there’s no one else, should we try dating?"

Wen Jin’s eyes flickered slightly.

With Ou Yihan’s bright eyes watching him, Wen Jin slowly spoke, "Okay."

"Don’t worry, I’m not the clingy type. If after some time you don’t like me, I won’t cling to you."

Ou Yihan’s smile faded, turning serious. She raised her finger solemnly as if making a promise.

"You don’t have to be so serious, I trust your character."

Having met a few girls Gu Yan introduced before, Wen Jin trusted that the Ou Yihan in front of him wasn’t clingy.

Just like Gu Kai said, Gu Yan was even more cautious in introducing a girlfriend to Wen Jin than he was about Gu Kai’s marital affairs back then.

Although Li Minxu did not want to meet Jing Xiaocha, he knew he couldn’t avoid it forever.

So, he mentioned the bar where he was.

After hanging up, Jing Xiaocha went into the bedroom and changed into a shirt and jeans.

She had been to places like bars before, even worked in one. However, during that time, something unpleasant happened.

After quitting that job, she never went back to a bar.

Tonight, she had to go there to meet Li Minxu and clarify things.

So she was especially careful, deliberately changing out of her dress and into a conservative shirt and jeans.

After taking a taxi to the bar, Jing Xiaocha paid the fare, got out, looked up at the sign above, then pursed her lips before walking towards the entrance.

As she stepped into the bar, a wave of noise hit her ears.

Colorful lights were cast on the crowd twisting in the dance floor, and on stage, there was also a hot-bodied woman dancing.

Jing Xiaocha frowned, glancing around until she finally spotted Editor Li twisting in the middle of the dance floor with a group of people.

She hesitated slightly, then headed in his direction.

There were so many people that Jing Xiaocha was bumped twice, causing her some irritation. Ever since she was almost harassed in a bar the last time, she developed a psychological shadow over such places.

"Hey beautiful, want to dance together?"

A young man with a ponytail asked teasingly.

Jing Xiaocha avoided his outstretched hand and finally squeezed beside Li Minxu, who was enthusiastically dancing with a pretty woman. She shouted at him, but he didn’t hear.

Jing Xiaocha had to raise her hand and tap his shoulder, raising her voice and shouted again, "Editor Li."

This time, Li Minxu finally heard her, turned his head to look at her, "Xiaocha, go grab a drink, I’ll be over in a moment."

"I have something very important to tell you."

Jing Xiaocha said with a slightly displeased expression.
