Chapter 618: 618
A while later, Lawyer Luo arrived and the ten percent of the Wen Corporation shares that Wen Xinya owned officially became free for her use after some legal procedures .
Wen Xinya then received a call from Xu Zhenyu .
Xu Zhenyu asked to meet her at a private restaurant . She arrived to see that he was already there and was waiting for her .
Xu Zhenyu looked extremely buff and suave in his military uniform . She jested . “Hey Xu-er, aren’t you afraid of catching too much attention with that military uniform of yours?”
Xu Zhenyu instantly retorted . “Wen Xinya, I’m hoping to find a wife by being dressed in this uniform!”
He then kept his eyes fixed on Wen Xinya with a tinge of melancholy . He stared at the jade hairpin on her head which accentuated her grace and beauty . However, he was a little disappointed because it was not the one that he had given her .
Wen Xinya snorted with laughter and said, “Turns out you’re just being lustful, Master Xu-er . C’mon, tell me what kind of girls you like . I’ll help you keep a lookout and introduce some of them to you . ”
Xu Zhenyu chuckled and teased . “Miss Wen, you’re just my type . Why don’t you introduce yourself to me?”
He found it even harder to say the words that he had failed to tell her during his young and reckless days .
Wen Xinya immediately kicked him and gibed . “What the hell? Xu-er, you’ve been in the military for more than two years but it seems your skin has also become thicker! How dare you poke fun at me? Are you asking for a beating!?!”
Xu Zhenyu hugged his legs and showed his teeth at her . “Everyone says that women are the most vicious . They’re right . Wen Xinya… you’re so cruel! This leg of mine is used for serving the nation . It’s very precious! You can’t afford to bear the consequences if you damage it . ”
In fact, her kick was as light as a feather and the pain that he felt was emotional, not physical . His two-year dreams of impressing her with his stellar accomplishments were shattered the moment he saw the look of resistance in her eyes .
Wen Xinya glanced at him condescendingly and sneered . “Go ahead and continue pretending! I’m not going to show you any sympathy . ”
Noticing how aggrieved Xu Zhenyu seemed, Wen Xinya soon began to get distracted . She looked out of the window at the vines outside, on which there were several white tea millet flowers in full bloom .
Slightly stunned by how distracted she was, Xu Zhenyu leaned towards her and teased . “Wen Xinya, you were scared by me, weren’t you? I’m telling you, I’m a tough soldier . Your tricks are not enough for me . ”
Wen Xinya smacked Xu Zhenyu’s face .
However, Xu Zhenyu did not budge and instead leaned even closer towards her . Gently fiddling with the hairpin on her head, Xu Zhenyu said, “Hey, Wen Xinya, have you opened the present that I gave you yesterday? Don’t forget about it just because you’ve received several other presents . ”

He had dreamed of the design of the jade hairpin that he had given her, and reckoned that she would fancy it .
After a moment of hesitation, Wen Xinya nodded and said, “I saw it, it’s beautiful! I really like it too!”
Grinning widely from ear to ear, Xu Zhenyu said, “Since you like it, why aren’t you wearing it? I’ve yet to see you donning a tea millet flower hairpin . ”
Wen Xinya’s heart wrenched up in panic and she wondered how she should tell him that she had already worn it the night before . “What the hell? Xu-er, I’m only eighteen and yet you gave me a tea millet flower hairpin . Are you just cursing me!?! You’re going to jinx me and cause me to age prematurely!”
Xu Zhenyu was dumbfounded .
Wen Xinya chided . “Who’d present such an inauspicious gift!?!”
Xu Zhenyu stroked his hair, finding Wen Xinya’s words to have made sense . He thought, I was actually affected by the dream . How could it be real? Wen Xinya is such a smart person, she’s not going to be as disheveled as she was in my dream .
He tugged his hair forcefully, finding himself to be utterly foolish . “Why don’t… I give you something else?”

His meticulously prepared gift would have to go to waste . What a shame . He had carefully selected the jade material and bought it at a high price when he was in Myanmar for a mission . It was a rare type of jade and he had especially found a competent carver to help him carve the jade piece .
Wen Xinya glared at him and chastised . “Xu Zhenyu, forget it if you didn’t contact me throughout the two years that you have been away . To make things worse, you even gave me such an inauspicious gift . You’re just not happy with me, aren’t you!”
Xu Zhenyu blushed and said, “No, not at all . Wen Xinya, why would I be unhappy with you?”
Pointing at his nose, Wen Xinya questioned, “Tell me then, why didn’t you contact me before?”
Xu Zhenyu answered remorsefully, “I’ve been busy with training . ”
Being extremely prideful, he did not wish to let Wen Xinya know how tough of a time he had during the military training . Hence, he had never contacted her, and only rarely contacted Han Mofeng .
Wen Xinya chided . “Bullshit . You clearly contacted Han Mofeng and the rest too . ”
Xu Zhenyu suddenly realized that he had already gotten a buzz cut long ago . Despite feeling extremely frustrated, he said nicely, “Wen Xinya, I’m wrong, alright? I won’t dare to do it again! Madam, please pardon me . ”

Wen Xinya glanced at him condescendingly and said, “I’ll punish you by making you write a thousand words . ”
Xu Zhenyu’s greatest fear was reflecting on himself . Han Mofeng had once told Wen Xinya before that Xu Zhenyu almost went crazy after being told that he would be punished for getting into a fight and playing truant . Even till today, others were still made jokes out of his punishment and the words that he had written as punishment—”Teacher, I was wrong . I won’t do it again… Please spare me from writing a thousand words!”
Xu Zhenyu’s hands trembled and he said, “Madam, I’ve already addressed you as Madam . Will you show mercy?”
Wen Xinya squinted at him and asked, “Are you going to write it or not?”
Xu Zhenyu’s heart pounded and he conceded . “Yes, yes, I promise I’ll accomplish the task . ”
Wen Xinya said in satisfaction, “That’s more like it . By the way, how long will you be staying in the city this time?”
Xu Zhenyu looked out of the window and glanced at the tea millet flowers . “I’ll be leaving in a few days . However, I’ve already applied for a transfer and I think I’ll get to be transferred back to the city by next year . ”
Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief . It was much better for him to stay in the city because the training was much more relaxed in the city’s base camp .
