A Crazy Love Proposal

Chapter 28: Chapter 22 is wasted. Chapter 28: Chapter 22 is wasted. She hesitated, “I don’t have anything in particular.”

The person on the other end of the line was ready to hang up, “If that’s the case, then I’ll hang up now. If there’s anything, you can call the secretary’s office, and we’ll pass the message to Director Wen if it’s urgent.”

She spoke again, “Wait.”

Zheng, the assistant, still smiled politely, but in reality, had no patience for dealing with Wen Family’s troublesome foster sister who only knew how to stir up trouble and had no real value, “Do you have anything else?”

She hesitated for a moment, “It’s just… my brother promised to send me flowers before. The day after tomorrow I have a floral art exhibition in the city center. Could you ask him if he could send them the day after tomorrow?”

“Alright, I’ll pass the message to Director Wen.”

Yun Yuwan still knew nothing, and although she could feel the unfriendliness, thanked the person with dignity, “Thank you.”

To tell the truth, Yun Yuwan had already kept the poise of a wealthy heiress.

After all, before she became the Wen Family’s heiress, her family was also wealthy.

But after saying “You’re welcome,” Zheng, the assistant, hung up the phone and immediately changed her expression.

Troublesome.

To Director Wen, such an insignificant person caused the most trouble. This foster daughter couldn’t see her own status clearly and had no understanding of where she stood.

Just a foster daughter.

Director Wen didn’t really care about her, yet she always felt very important, even expecting Director Wen to send flowers to a flower art exhibition.

There were so many people who wanted flowers from Director Wen.

She probably had no concept of how busy Director Wen typically was—how could she have the nerve to ask for this bouquet of flowers?

Last time, with the necklace matter, it was only after great difficulty that she found a similar style and a nearly matching price to perfectly resolve the issue.

For this, she had spent several all-nighters looking at all the recent jewelry auctions in the country, besides her work she also had to visit offline to see various brands’ flagship jewels, and after repeated comparisons, she finally selected a necklace that could be a replacement.

Honestly speaking.

If it were someone important to Director Wen, someone he cared about, creating such a blunder, of course, she wouldn’t be angry. Serving Director Wen was her duty, and pleasing important people to Director Wen had the same effect as pleasing Director Wen himself.

But spending time on this Miss Yun was not worth it at all.

And Yun Yuwan’s heart was uneasy, unsure whether she would receive a response from Wen Yangzhi.

Hearing that Lin Chu was returning to Shanghai the next day for a brand endorsement event, she immediately arranged to spend the evening with her.

The same evening, just as Lin Chu had finished saying goodbye to her fans downstairs in the hotel and entered her room wrapped in a scarf draped over her shoulders, she saw Yun Yuwan in her suite showing off the fresh meat mooncakes from Shanghai’s De Xin Pavilion that she had bought.

Lin Chu tilted her head and asked her, “Are they good?”

Yun Yuwan wiped her hands with a napkin, coughed, and wiped off the oil from her mouth, “Barely passable.”

Lin Chu rushed over, wanting to strangle her, “You say ‘barely’ after eating three, and you still eat so many if they aren’t good? I specifically went to Zolla Road’s Fuxinghui to buy them.”

Yun Yuwan let out a full burp.

Lin Chu wanted to strangle her even more now.

Yun Yuwan took out her phone, “I know a members-only restaurant that makes these better, and I have the manager’s WeChat. I can get a box delivered right away.”

“Forget it, forget it.” Lin Chu picked up the remaining mooncakes from the box and stuffed them into her mouth, still mumbling indistinctly, “Is there any lesser-known specialty from Shanghai? The director asked me, and the only thing I could think of was fresh meat mooncakes, but after buying them, they felt too common.”

Yun Yuwan hesitated, “Do you think fresh meat mooncakes are a Shanghai specialty?”

Lin Chu paused, the mooncake lodged in her mouth unswallowed.

Speaking of which, fresh meat mooncakes should probably be considered a Suzhou specialty.

“Then tell me, what specialty is there? I’ve thought it over and can’t think of anything else.”

Yun Yuwan fell silent for a moment, then gave a heavy-hitting answer, “Lina Belle.”

Lin Chu, “?”

“Are you out of your mind? Is your skin itching for trouble?”

To Lin Chu’s surprise, Yun Yuwan suddenly fell silent. After a moment, she hesitantly said, “Speaking of itching, something happened between me and Wen Yangzhi recently.”

Lin Chu, with a meaningful “oh,” knew this guy must have something up his sleeve:
“What happened?”

“He spanked me,” said Yun Yuwan, getting straight to the point.

Lin Chu’s first reaction was to glance at her incredulously, “Why did he want to reward you?”

Yun Yuwan felt wronged, “How is it a reward if he hit me?”

She babbled on about the whole incident, trying to elicit Lin Chu’s sympathy for her urgency.

However, Lin Chu remained calm and after a moment of thought said, “Although he spanked you, did it hurt when he did?”

Yun Yuwan shook her head, “No, it didn’t hurt.”

“Did it feel degrading?”

“Not really.”

Lin Chu swallowed her bite of cake, “Don’t you think he was venting his anger and tearing down the barrier between men and women?”

Yun Yuwan was puzzled.

Having seen much of the world, Lin Chu explained, “It’s very likely that your brother wanted to do this before, but you just gave him the opportunity.”

“What?” Yun Yuwan was even more confused.

Seeing her half-comprehending look, Lin Chu said frankly, “Honestly, spanking a woman on the butt, I’ve only seen that in porn. He didn’t hit the face or hands, he spanked the butt, hmm.”

Lin Chu shuddered at the thought, as it was suggestive, full of intimacy and desire.

“What grown man would just spank a woman’s butt casually? This is more like a sexual hint than violence.”

Yun Yuwan sat at the foot of her bed, supporting herself on her hands like a serious little puppy wagging its tail, her expression earnest, her face showing a thirst for knowledge.

Lin Chu picked at her teeth with a toothpick, “A man who cares about status and image would rarely hit a woman, unless…”

“Unless what?” Yun Yuwan immediately pressed.

Lin Chu was straightforward, “He wants to have a relationship with you.”

Yun Yuwan was shocked, “What?”

“That’s just it, if psychologically he couldn’t accept that woman, he wouldn’t touch her sensitive areas,” Lin Chu was not surprised at all.

“With Wen Yangzhi’s status, if he were really angry, he could arrange a bunch of blind dates right away, marrying you off as a tool for alliance, making you resentful; he could cancel your credit cards, make you move out, have the household staff ostracize you, or kick you out of the Wen Family and cut ties completely. But he didn’t; besides spanking you, there was no real harm.”

Lin Chu asked her, “Do you think he was really angry?”

Yun Yuwan was uncertain. Her brother seemed very angry, but after spanking her, she kept hugging his waist, and he didn’t push her away or show any rejection. It was not that he disliked her; if he did, he should have immediately pulled her off him.

Instead of telling her to get lost, he stood there smoking, listening to her quietly call his name.

His question, “Do you really want to?”

Seemed not to be a threat but more like probing the nature of their relationship.

It was asking what could happen between them within the realm of her psychological acceptance.

Whether they were siblings or lovers.

Suddenly, it clicked for her.

Of course, her brother liked her. How could he really be angry?

These past ten days of ignoring her were just his way of dangling her along, wanting a definite answer rather than continuing in ambiguity.

Enlightened, she wondered, so, did her brother want a definite response from her?
