Ye Yuwei waited for Nalan Chunbo’s response, but she saw him turning around.
At the door of the balcony, stood a gigantic gargoyle with a gloomy face—Gu Juexi. His expression and his eyes were so sharp, she felt like he was about to chop her into tiny pieces and eat her up.
Ye Yuwei stared at him curiously and tried to think about what she had said earlier.
Gu Juexi glared at Ye Yuwei coldly before he turned around and left.
Nalan Chunbo leaned against the window and tilted his head. “I wonder, do you stay with Gu Juexi because you want to atone for the Ye family, or because you love him?”
“F—” Ye Yuwei lowered her head frantically. She blurted out the worst curse word she had ever said in her life.
This was a big misunderstanding!
Ye Yuwei dashed after Gu Juexi.
Swirling the glass of ice water in his hand, Nalan Chunbo looked out at the sky again.
Ye Xicheng emerged from the outside. He climbed on the stool by the windowsill, cupping his chin and looking at the sky too.
Nalan Chunbo lowered his gaze to his nephew and stroked his head gently. “What’s wrong?”
“Xixi always plays with Yuan Mo now. Uncle, how does a girl have a change of heart so easily?” Ye Xicheng moaned in defeat. He was very sad to see his sister adore other people more.
How did a girl have a change of heart so easily?
Ye Xicheng’s question caught Nalan Chunbo by surprise and his hand froze amid stroking the boy’s head. He gulped down the entire glass of cold water.
If only ‘she’ could change her mind so easily.
Nalan Chunbo’s hand that was holding the empty glass tightened slightly as her cries echoed in his ears.
[Under Qianfoshan Mountain, Nalan Chunbo glanced at the girl with the large grin plastered on her face. She always smiled widely as if nothing could upset her.
However, he had the urge to tear that smile off her face.
He was a person who had plunged into the depths of a sorrowful hell, and she was sunshine, a light that could illuminate the dreaded darkness.
As soon as her light shone on him, she would find all his terrible scars and realize how disgusting he really was.
Hence, he had to keep away from the beam of light that he desired.
“Papa Nalan, I’m returning to B City today because my brother is going to marry Sister Jing. Can you wait for me here, please? I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon. Please?” Wen Shan asked as she stared at him with her star-like eyes.
Was it his slightly nicer attitude that made her smile so brightly as the days went by?
“You don’t have to come back here, I’ll leave this place soon,” Nalan Chunbo said flatly without a trace of affection. He turned to leave.
Wen Shan was stunned for a moment. She didn’t comprehend the situation. They had been getting along well for the past few days, so why was Papa Nalan getting angry suddenly?
Wen Shan anxiously caught up to him and asked, “I’ll only be back for a day and I’ll come right back here very soon, you don’t—”
Nalan Chunbo turned around and interjected, “I said stop following me! Didn’t you hear me? Are you a woman? Why are you so shameless?” His voice was so loud, not only did it terrify Wen Shan, but it also attracted curious glances from the people around them.
Nalan Chunbo had always been gentle and elegant. Even though she had been pestering him, he hadn’t treated her badly despite his agitation.
So he was really scaring Wen Shan right now and she recoiled in shock.
“Papa Nalan—” Wen Shan mumbled sadly.]
