Arc 6 – Slag that Little Wolfhound
Chapter 140

When they got back, it was only eight in the evening. The warm scene earlier was only very brief and when everyone entered the residence, their expressions had returned to the usual indifferent and calm look, but ultimately, there were still some changes.

A warm feeling still lingered in their hearts, subtly changing their perceptions and relationships.

Chi Zhao returned to his room and thought about how he should deal with the young girl from today. After thinking about it for a while, he sneered.

In fact, he didn’t even need to think. Wen Lie would help him handle everything. Wen Lie was a smiling tiger; he looked kind on the outside, but he was no worse than the old Wen Xijun when it came to being ruthless.

If nothing unexpected happens, Wen Lie should become the main heir of the Wen Family in the future. Of course, the other children would also receive some assets, but Wen Lie would take control over the main group.

Wen Yu actually wasn’t bad either, but he had too much hostility and was more suitable being the boss of the underworld, not the chairman of a group.

These people are still young. They still have a lot of time to think about their future.

After pondering for a while, Chi Zhao stood up and left his room.

Not thinking, not thinking. The young ones can take care of themselves, especially since these children are all smarter than him. For something this serious, he should let them deal with it themselves.

……..

Having not eaten his fill at the Jiang residence, Chi Zhao went to the kitchen. When he opened the fridge and saw that there was nothing he could eat right away, he could only do what he did before and make himself a bowl of noodles.

When the noodles were done, Chi Zhao stared at the noodles which didn’t look any better than his first attempt at cooking and felt troubled.

After all these worlds, no matter where he went, why were the food he cooked always so bad??

…….

Sitting at the dining table, Chi Zhao picked up some noodles and just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he heard a nice and soft voice behind him, “Father, can you give me some too?”

Chi Zhao: “……….”

Wen Hu quietly waited on the side. Very soon, a second bowl of very crudely made noodles was done. Placing that bowl in front of Wen Hu, Chi Zhao returned to his seat and suddenly wanted to bring his bowl back with him to eat in his own room.

For some reason, every time he saw Wen Hu’s face, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to distance himself from him.

Just as Chi Zhao was struggling over whether he should leave, Wen Hu opposite him spoke up.

He gently picked at the noodles with his chopsticks and looked up with a smile on his face, “Father has changed a lot recently. I almost couldn’t recognise you.”

Chi Zhao wasn’t worried about being exposed. This world wasn’t like the previous one where his spiritual body could take shape. His body was Wen Xijun’s and everything he owned was also Wen Xijun’s. As long as he remained insistent, no one would be able to find any evidence.

As such, Chi Zhao calmly followed up, “People change.”

Wen Hu looked into Chi Zhao’s eyes and found that he couldn’t read his thoughts. He could only give up and ask another question, “Then can father tell me why you don’t like me?”

Chi Zhao: “…….”

The past Wen Xijun also never liked you!

After a few seconds of silence, Chi Zhao also raised his head. He chose to tell the truth, “You are my child. I have never liked you.”

Wen Hu was startled.

After a pause, Chi Zhao went on to say, “As a father, what I have to do is to protect you, guide you, lead you. I don’t need to like you nor do you need to like me.”

His astonished expression gradually faded. Wen Hu carefully savoured those words and then revealed a smile that looked like he had been abandoned by society, “What a cruel answer.”

“What cruel?” Chi Zhao lowered his head. He casually picked up some noodles and took a bite before speaking again, “You don’t like me either anyway.”

In the original plot, although Wen Hu was closest to Wen Xijun, he was also the one who threw him away the fastest when he saw that Wen Xijun had lost his power. Someone like Wen Hu, how should he put it? At times, he seemed like he was very devoted but other times he seemed very carefree. He seemed to care about his siblings, but he could also watch on indifferently as a pervert shows interest towards Wen Xi. But if you said that he didn’t care about his family, he would also step in to help when Wen Yu almost exposed himself and was on the verge of losing his life.

In summary, he was a mysterious man.

……

Even if nothing else was certain, the fact that Wen Hu didn’t like Wen Xijun, Chi Zhao was 100% certain about this.

This wasn’t from the plot he was given; he had noticed it as he interacted with Wen Hu.

Chi Zhao was certain that Wen Hu didn’t like him, and even hated him a little.

Perhaps this was why Chi Zhao felt uncomfortable when he saw him. It was because Wen Hu would always act like he likes Wen Xijun very much and would happily follow his orders. It sent a chill down his back.

The Wen Hu opposite him slowly stored away his expression. A moment later, he lowered his head and let out a low laugh.

“That’s because, father doesn’t need my affection.”

His words seem to hold deeper meaning. Chi Zhao calmly looked at him but couldn’t get anything else out by doing that. On the other end, Wen Hu stood up in a good mood, “Father you should rest early. I will return to my room first. Thank you father for your hospitality tonight. If you can make a bowl of noodles like this for A’Xi, A’Xi will definitely be willing to do anything for you in the future.”

After saying that, Wen Hu left. Chi Zhao looked at the untouched bowl of noodles opposite him and felt very complicated.

He didn’t even taste it. Were the noodles he made really that bad?!

………..

Chi Zhao was very down. He even lost his appetite. He took a few more bites and then returned to his room, leaving the bowl of noodles on the table to be cleaned up by the maid tomorrow morning.

Half an hour later, Wen Yu passed by this kitchen and smelt a familiar smell. He stepped in and saw two bowls of noodles on the dining table as well as two sets of chopsticks. Wen Yu pursed his lips slightly.

Wen Xin had just came out of Wen Xi’s room. She was thirsty so she stopped by the kitchen. This small kitchen was usually just a spare room but today it was visited by many people.

It was just that every single one of the visitors seemed to be in a bad mood.

Wen Xin stood behind Wen Yu. After two minutes, she softly spoke up, “A’Yu, can you practice dancing with me?”

There was a very beautiful courtyard with a flowerbed in the centre in front of the Wen residence. Next to the flowerbed was marbled floor and every gathering the Wen Family hosted would be held here.

The flowers, a fountain and gorgeous and gentle lighting. No matter who came over, they would find this place extremely pleasing to the eye.

But today, there were no brilliant lights and also no noisy guests. There were only the two of them, dancing to a soundtrack played from a phone.

Wen Xin was raised to be a multi-talented lady and she was naturally very good at dancing and didn’t need to practice at all. She however still dragged Wen Yu out there, spinning around and around like fools.

Dance needed to be accompanied by music or in the eyes of others, it would look very awkward and embarrassing.

……

After the end of the third round, Wen Xi couldn’t take it anymore. She didn’t have much strength and dancing was a strenuous job. She waved her hand repeatedly, “Can’t do it, can’t do it. Let me rest a little.”

Wen Yu found it strange, “Don’t you take dancing lessons every day?”

Why are you tired already?

Wen Xin similarly looked back at him strangely, “Yeah, I have dance classes every day but I usually dance for ten minutes and then rest for ten minutes.”

Wen Yu: “……….”

Wen Xin’s practice partner had always been her teacher or Wen Lie. Sometimes, when Wen Xijun was in a good mood, he would also dance with her for a while. This was the first time for Wen Yu. He really didn’t know that his sister’s physical strength was this bad.

Wen Xin had already sat down so there was no point in him standing around. He similarly sat down next to Wen Xin and asked, “Why did you suddenly want to practice? Are you going to another gathering again?

The world of the rich young ladies was too complicated. Every few days there would be a big gathering and every other day there would be a small gathering. It was as if that group of people had nothing else to do except for attending the gatherings.

Wen Xin nodded, “Yes. Mrs. Liang invited me to her club’s anniversary party.”

After she said that and, seeing that Wen Yu wasn’t showing any reaction, Wen Xin was silent for a moment before she explained, “Mrs. Liang is Liang Wencheng’s wife. The club she founded is very famous internationally and many young ladies make their first social debut through this party.”

After saying this, Wen Yu understood. He however looked at Wen Xin, “Didn’t you already make your debut when you were fifteen?”

Wen Xijun had invited over the world’s best fashion designer and hair stylist at that time. He had directly packaged her up into someone on par to a princess and since then, Wen Xin became well-known and had become the leader of the group of rich young ladies.

Wen Xin looked at Wen Yu like he was behind with the times, “Of course it is to preserve my reputation and let the new girls know who their big sister really is!”

Wen Yu: “……..”

Wen Xin seemed to be born with maternal love. To her, everyone who is younger than her are her younger brothers and sisters. Even if she says that she wanted to compete with them, Wen Yu could see that Wen Xin was just joking. She wasn’t someone competitive nor did she like the ladies who love to compare and spend most of their time forming connections.

Wen Yu smiled faintly. He lowered his head and looked at a trees shadow on the ground. Wen Xin sat to his left. From her angle, the most obvious thing was the smile on Wen Yu’s face and the second most obvious was his grey and murky eye.

Wen Xin looked at him for a while and sighed internally. She gently spoke up.

“A’Yu.”

Hearing Wen Xin’s call, Wen Yu’s eyelashes trembled slightly. He turned his head and silently looked at Wen Xin.

Dancing was just a cover, Wen Xin actually had something she wanted to say to him. He knew that already and he could also guess what Wen Xin was going to say.

Wen Xin was a very observant person and he also didn’t deliberately hide it, so it was no surprise that she had noticed.

Sure enough, Wen Xin looked up at him with an almost pleading smile, “Listen to your elder sister. Don’t do anything that will hurt yourself anymore, okay?”
