The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Chapter 1623: She Could Barely Resist Such A Kiss

After Nalan Chunbo fastened her seatbelt for her, he turned around and started the car.

Wen Shan cocked her head slightly to the side as she looked at the man who had already fastened his seatbelt after getting into the car. “Your chivalry makes me feel like I’m your guest. You seem to be as gentlemanly to everyone, like a walking etiquette textbook.”

Nalan Chunbo paused amidst starting the car. Then, he gave up on starting the engine and looked at the woman sitting in the passenger seat. “Do you think I’m a gentleman?”

“A gentleman. The epitome of impeccable gentlemen,” Wen Shan said unjokingly. When he was at her house just now, his every movement exuded the elegance befitting a nobleman. Even her father did not dare to eat too much. Meanwhile, it was the reason why her mother had always been happy with Nalan Chunbo—this man was like Prince Charming in television shows.

“But you don’t like it.” Nalan Chunbo let go of the steering wheel. It was obvious that he had given up on leaving.

Wen Shan did not deny it.

Nalan Chunbo turned to his side to face Wen Shan. “Why?”

The two of them exchanged glances. All of a sudden, Wen Shan did not know what to say. Why? Was it because his extreme chivalry took away the raving passion of being in a relationship?

Take a look at Big Brother Gu and his wife—they had always been teasing each other. Even when dealing with his wife, Big Brother Gu never showed any mercy. However, that kind of relationship felt… real.

‘That’s right. It feels real.’

“I don’t know. Maybe I’m too problematic,” answered Wen Shan. She decided to give up on mulling over this question. After all, everyone was different. Like her brother and sister-in-law, her brother would always be the one who got helplessly bullied. Yet, this did not stop them from loving each other as they always had.

Deriving from the same concept, that was just how Nalan Chunbo interacted with her, was it not? He treated everyone like a gentleman, even her—

Wen Shan was still mulling over it when Nalan Chunbo reached out and pulled her into his arms. In the next second following her shock, she was silenced by a seal from his lips.

“…” Wen Shan could not speak.

Nalan Chunbo pried open her lips and snagged onto her passion. No man could remain a gentleman, especially when it came to relationships.

Chivalry was merely a superficial layer of sheepskin that they donned on. This sheepskin might be able to trick everyone.

Yet, the truth was that they were men.

Men with extremely straightforward senses.

Nalan Chunbo was no exception.

After the kiss, Wen Shan’s thoughts could no longer remain running circles on whether he was a gentleman because the kiss had taken away all of her ability to think.

He actually—

Kissed her all the way to her throat.

She could barely resist such a kiss.

Nalan Chunbo’s hand was already on her neck, holding her body so that she could not back away, while his forehead pressed against hers.

“Since the end of the meeting yesterday, I’ve been wanting so badly to kiss you, smooch you, and want you. Yet, I held myself back, not because I’m a gentleman, but because I respect you,” Nalan Chunbo murmured. The distance between them was so close that his breath landed on her lips as though he was still kissing her.

Wen Shan’s eyes were misty, and she could not calm down even after taking one deep breath after another.

“I’ve learned respect since I was young, especially respect for a woman. In the years when Uncle and Auntie-in-law are together, what I witnessed the most is Uncle’s respect for Auntie—the kind of mutual respect that they reserve for each other. Yet, I would never have expected it to be something you don’t want,” mumbled Nalan Chunbo in a throaty voice. He was using his words to clean up the aftermath.

“…” Wen Shan was at a loss for words.

That— That was not what she meant.

It was— It was just—

Wen Shan was distressed. Yet, when she realized how lacking her vocabulary was, it distressed her further because she was not able to spit out a single word right now.
