Chapter 152: Coaxing Herself

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Feeling somewhat helpless due to Wen Nian’s negative attitude, Shen Jun knew that things couldn’t remain stagnant. After some thought, he decided to send Wen Nian a message.

Shen Jun: Wen Nian, I promise that I will inform you in advance the next time 1 hang out with someone of the opposite sex. Please don’t be angry.

Wen Nian: I’m not angry.

Wen Nian’s response remained concise, indicating that this issue would not be resolved easily. Shen Jun realized that he needed to find an indirect way to address the situation and resolve their differences.

Shen Jun: Then let me put it another way. What can I do to make you happy now?

Wen Nian was even angrier when she saw this. She still needed her to come up with ideas?! Should she be coaxing herself?!

Wen Nian chose not to respond to Shen Jun’s message and instead immersed herself in practice tests, her anger festering inside her.

Shen Jun waited anxiously until he eventually fell asleep, but he didn’t receive a reply from Wen Nian. The following morning, as soon as he woke up, he immediately reached out to Zhao Wu and called him.

Yesterday, Zhao Wu resorted to forceful measures to bring Bai Ling to the capital. Bai Ling was filled with anger throughout the night, while Zhao Wu spent the entire night coaxing her. Just as Bai Ling began to calm down and Zhao Wu could finally get some sleep, Shen Jun’s call abruptly woke him up.

Zhao Wu, suppressing his anger, reluctantly answered the call. “You’re disturbing my sleep so early in the morning. Do you believe I’ll curse you and Wen Nian to argue every day?!”

Zhao Wu’s words happened to touch upon Shen Jun’s greatest concern at the moment. Shen Jun’s usually charming black eyes turned cold, and he furrowed his brows slightly. “Do you think I won’t go to Grandma right now and retrieve the wooden tablet?”

Zhao Wu’s temper instantly improved. He glanced at the still sleeping Bai Ling, got up from the room, and then replied with a touch of helplessness, “Young master! What’s the matter?”

Shen Jun explained the situation to Zhao Wu, who felt a sense of strangeness after listening. He couldn’t help but wonder when Zhao Jiao had started expressing her opinions about family background and being rebellious.

However, still feeling groggy and not fully awake, Zhao Wu couldn’t be bothered to think too deeply. He responded, “So, what did you say to her on WeChat? Just send me the conversation.”

Shen Jun hesitated for a moment, his face turning slightly red with embarrassment, as he sent a screenshot of his conversation with Wen Nian to Zhao Wu.

When Zhao Wu saw the content of the conversation and Shen Jun’s attempts at coaxing, he frowned and sighed softly. “There will be a next time? You’re just stirring up trouble with that statement. Even if there is a next time, you can’t just say it casually like this. Look at your last sentence. It seems like you’re just going through the motions to complete the mission, right?”

Shen Jun, feeling defensive, tried to explain himself. “I asked her to know the way to make her happy more accurately. Otherwise, if 1 can’t coax her properly, she might get even angrier.”

Zhao Wu rolled his eyes in exasperation. “You’re not using your brain here. First of all, you need to understand that she’s your girlfriend, not your client! And what’s with the accuracy of knowing the method… You’re just being insincere! Plus, can you not keep messaging her if she’s ignoring you?”

“Let me explain, it’s not just about posting it at a specific time, but you also need to submit a brief essay of at least 200 words within a timeframe of 30 minutes to an hour. In this essay, express the impact her disregard has had on you. You couldn’t sleep at all! You were restlessly tossing and turning throughout the night.”

Bai Ling was typically an obedient girl who seldom threw tantrums. However, Zhao Wu had some experience, albeit limited, in pacifying girls and often found himself being persuaded by them. He reminisced about these instances and shared them with Shen Jun, leaving Shen Jun utterly amazed.

Nevertheless, Zhao Wu personally taught him a few techniques. Shen Jun was content with the method and allowed his uncle to rest and go to sleep.

Wen Nian’s scenes for the day were scheduled to be filmed during daylight hours. The school scenes had already been completed. Shen Jun inquired about the filming location for the day from Wen Xing and packed his belongings before driving over to the designated spot.

When Shen Jun arrived, it was lunchtime. Wen Nian found a chair and sat down, engrossed in reading the script.

Shen Jun grabbed a small stool and positioned himself to the side, fully focused. He retrieved a thermos and opened the lid. “Don’t you enjoy wontons? I discovered a person from Hai City who owns a shop in the capital. Their Hai City wontons are incredibly tasty and truly authentic. Give them a try and let me know if you like them.”

Initially, Wen Nian had been quite angry last night. However, after spending a few hours writing, her anger had subsided significantly. Knowing Shen Jun’s nature and understanding that he wasn’t skilled at pacifying others, she expected him to figure things out on his own. However, when she realized that Shen Jun hadn’t sent a single message during this time, her anger reignited once again!

If she didn’t reply, Shen Jun wouldn’t send anymore messages. If she never responded, their relationship would eventually end like this!

It was a technical issue that Shen Jun didn’t know how to effectively coax Wen Nian, which could be worked on and improved. However, the problem with his attitude, if he chose not to continue coaxing her, was much more significant. Upon waking up this morning and not seeing Shen Jun making any effort to reach out to her, Wen Nian felt like she was suffering in this relationship.

With Shen Jun’s sudden appearance, Wen Nian’s previously adjusted mood for filming was once again disrupted. While she felt a tinge of happiness at seeing him, she didn’t want to forgive him easily..
