The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Upon receiving Wen Shan’s friend request on WeChat, Nalan Chunbo pictured Wen Shan’s reaction. Nalan Chunbo imagined her displaying extreme gratitude, as though someone had just saved her life.

In that instant, Nalan Chunbo felt even more hurt.

Shanshan: Hey, hey, hey. Papa Nalan, look at me.

Nalan Chunbo read the text and leaned back against his chair, feeling slightly better.

Shanshan: If is going to give a speech in light of his new position, but his speech certainly wouldn’t beat yours.

Shanshan: I still need to thank If though, he helped me a lot recently.

Nalan: You don’t need to.

Shanshan: Why not? Even if he is your friend, I still need to personally thank him!

Nalan Chunbo did not know how to reply. He could only wait for the fateful day to approach and talk about it again if Wen Shan still wanted to thank If.

Wen Shan added Nalan Chunbo on WeChat and as expected, his timeline was empty.

Shanshan: You were right after all. I have decided to visit Ding Junqi at his place, so please accompany me.

Nalan: No need.

Shanshan: Okay, you must be busy. I’ll go there alone.

Nalan Chunbo was frustrated at Wen Shan’s reply. He meant that Wen Shan need not visit Ding Junqi, not that Nalan Chunbo would not accompany her.

How low could Wen Shan’s self-confidence be?!

Nalan: What I meant was you don’t need to visit Ding Junqi. I’ve already met him and he did not really like talking about his child’s mother.

Shanshan: You’ve already met him?

Nalan: Previously I bumped into him somewhere and talked to him about it, and he was reluctant to talk about that woman.

Shanshan: You already knew Ding Junqi before this?

Nalan Chunbo actually got to know Ding Junqi through a street fight, but he figured that wasn’t important right now.

Nalan: So it’s better to talk about it with Ding Junhui. Perhaps he could tell us something.

Shanshan: I think I heard him return, maybe I could visit him now?

Nalan: Wen Shan, I think my message was clear enough.

Shanshan: What do you mean?

Nalan: What I meant was that we should visit Ding Junhui together. Since you are my girlfriend, I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to let you visit that man alone. He used to have feelings for you.

Wen Shan was lost for words.

This ‘boyfriend blessing’ came too suddenly for Wen Shan. She could not handle it and groaned, banging her head against the table.

After sending that message, Nalan Chunbo got up to take his jacket and left his house.

Wen Shan was alarmed to see Nalan Chunbo at her doorstep. That was fast!

Still shocked, Wen Shan opened the door to let Nalan Chunbo into her house. “How could you be this quick?” Wen Shan moved aside to let him enter.

Nalan Chunbo raised his eyebrow slightly before entering, then replied, “There wasn’t any traffic, so it didn’t take me long to get here. Why aren’t you resting?”

Upon shutting the door, Wen Shan immediately hugged Nalan Chunbo from behind.

“I am not tired. I’m sorry about last time, I didn’t do it on purpose,” Wen Shan said in a muffled voice.

Nalan Chunbo paused. He held Wen Shan’s hands which were around his waist, but was uncertain of what to say. “Aren’t we visiting Ding Junhui? Let’s go.”

Still standing behind Nalan Chunbo, Wen Shan lifted her head. “Why did you come in then?”

“Weren’t you the one who invited me in?” Nalan Chunbo answered with a smile.

Wen Shan could not answer him as she was trying hard not to laugh.

In a split second, Wen Shan turned to open the door to exit her place.

After making sure that Nalan Chunbo could not see her, Wen Shan quickly covered her face in embarrassment.

She did not know why she always felt this way when meeting her boyfriend.

Wen Shan continued to bury her face in her hands until she reached the doorstep of Ding Junhui’s place.

Wen Shan took a deep breath before turning to look at Nalan Chunbo who was behind her.

Nalan Chunbo’s nod seemed to give her the courage to knock on Ding Junhui’s door.

After all, life was all about taking risks. Even if it cost a life, at least the earthly suffering ended.
