Chapter 1606: How Did Things Turn Out This Way?
Mrs. Wen threw her daughter a glare akin to a flying knife. When she looked at Nalan Chunbo, her gaze immediately changed to that of a mother-in-law. “Mr. Nalan, I’ve always remembered you. I didn’t expect that our Shan Shan would be so lucky.”
“Auntie, you must be joking. It’s my greatest luck to have met Shan Shan.” Nalan Chunbo forcefully grasped Wen Shan’s relentless hand, but he managed to keep a steady expression when he spoke. “Auntie, there’s been a misunderstanding between Shan Shan and me. I’d like to take her out for a walk first. I’ll pay you and Uncle an official visit tomorrow.”
“Oh, dear. This girl has always been so demanding. What kind of misunderstanding could there be? She’s just spoiled by us, and disobedient too. You can just hit her.”
Wen Shan was speechless. ” … ”
Was she not Mrs. Wen’s real daughter?
What kind of a mother was that?
Hit her?
Naturally, he would not bear to do that. If Wen Shan hit him instead, he would willingly accept that.
“Then Auntie, I’ll take Shan Shan out for a walk first. I’ll send her back in a while.” Nalan Chunbo knew that at this time, both he and Wen Shan should get along with each other, especially after he received approval from Wen Shan’s mother. That would give him his strongest weapon—his mother-in-law’s approval.
Nalan Chunbo was quite confident in himself. At least when it came to his mother-in-law, he had absolute confidence to win her over.
Mrs. Wen hurriedly nodded. At this moment, she only had eyes for her son-in-law. She no longer knew who her daughter was anymore.
“Mama, Mama—” Wenshan was pulled away by Nalan Chunbo unwillingly. She really suspected if she had any blood-relations with this person she called ‘mama’.
Nalan Chunbo dragged Wen Shan into the elevator. Mr. Wen and Mr. Xiao just happened to walk out from another elevator. Mr. Xiao turned around for another look. “It was Shan Shan who just walked past us, right?”
Mr. Wen noticed her too. However, as the elevator door closed at this moment, his house door was still open.
“Who did Shan Shan go out with?” asked Mr. Wen as he looked at Mrs. Wen who stood at the door with a smile so wide, her eyes nearly disappeared from her face.
“Shan Shan’s boyfriend. He’s the best man that I was rather pleased with previously. Oh, dear. What a coincidence. This boy really knows how to talk. He’s good-looking and polite. He’s much better than your son,” Mrs. Wen explained. After bidding farewell to her son’s father-in-law, she left happily.
“…” Mr. Wen had no words for her.
“Best man? That’s Nalan Chunbo, right? He’s very talented. He’s an internationally renowned mathematician,” Mr. Xiao said with a grin.
Mr. Wen grunted in agreement. Mrs. Wen was a high school graduate, at least, while Mr. Wen never attended school. Yet, when he heard the word ‘international’, he already thought it was quite an amazing feat.
Therefore, Mr. Wen could not help feeling prickly. Why would such an amazing person fall for her little girl?
Nalan Chunbo dragged Wen Shan downstairs. Wen Shan forcefully shook off his hand and took a step back. “Why are you still here for me? You’re Lil Brother too, aren’t you? Isn’t it fun to tease me with all your various disguises?”
Wen Shan’s angry voice rang amidst the cold wind. Nalan Chunbo could not help noticing that this wind felt colder than before.
It was the cold that emanated from the bottom of his heart.
“Shan Shan.” Nalan Chunbo sighed. He reached out to hold her hand that was still warm since they just left her house. “Can you listen to my explanation first before you make a decision?”
“No,” Wen Shan answered straightforwardly.
Nalan Chunbo choked for a moment. In his past interactions with Wen Shan, this side of Wen Shan had never appeared before.
In Nalan Chunbo’s experience, Wen Shan had always been an obedient little girl; a little girl that put him in the center of her life.
How did things turn out this way?
Wen Shan looked at the dumbstruck Nalan Chunbo and snorted before turning around. However, Nalan Chunbo’s body was faster than his train of thought. Before anything else, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.
