[Nalan Chunbo watched Wen Shan’s face turn pale. His hands curled into tight fists. Her untainted light was too dazzling. Sooner or later, she would see the filthy smudges on him. He preferred that she remembered him as the high-spirited Papa Nalan, rather than the disgusting Nalan Chunbo, whom even he despised.
“Stop following me. I will never like a girl who throws herself at a man. Get out of my sight!” Nalan Chunbo growled furiously, then turned around and left.
Wen Shan stood frozen at the same spot, tears pouring like rain. Passersby were gesturing at her but she couldn’t hear their whispers, her gaze fixed on the back of a man who was walking further away from her.
Nalan Chunbo turned a corner and stopped. He slowly unclenched his fists and glanced at the traces of nail marks on his palms. His lips curved at the sight, his smirk bitter.
She was the warmth he didn’t deserve. She deserved better, not someone like him.
It was better for him to be harsh and cruel now.]
The image of the sad girl with a pale face standing in the middle of the crowd lingered in Nalan Chunbo’s mind.
Why had she not changed her mind yet?
“Uncle…Uncle, are you okay? What’s going on?” Ye Xicheng asked aloud. He panicked when his uncle started to zone out.
Nalan Chunbo paused for a moment. He composed himself and looked at Ye Xicheng who was staring at him with wide eyes. “I’m fine, I was just thinking about something. Your sister did not have a change of heart. You will always be her brother, and no one can ever take that from you,” Nalan Chunbo said reassuringly.
“But she doesn’t want to play with me now,” Ye Xicheng muttered dejectedly. Although her girlish games were somewhat boring, it felt worse when his sister didn’t want his company.
Nalan Chunbo carried Ye Xicheng, standing up and letting him sit on the windowsill. “One day, when you meet someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, you will realize the person you want to be with all the time is not your sister.”
“Uncle, have you found someone you want to be with all the time?” Ye Xicheng asked curiously, swinging his little legs.
The question caught Nalan Chunbo by surprise.
Someone he wanted to be with all the time?
He didn’t deserve to.
And he had missed the chance.
Nalan Chunbo laughed at himself, ignoring Ye Xicheng’s question.
Meanwhile, Ye Yuwei returned to the bedroom. With his hands under his neck, Gu Juexi was staring at the ceiling, his mind running wild.
He had devoted himself to the preparation of the proposal. When he was finally able to return home early today, what did he hear?
The main reason she forgave him and was so nice to him was her atonement to the Gu family. What if the incident had never happened?
Would she just turn around and leave him?
Did he want her atonement?
What did she have to do with the Ye family affairs?
Ye Yuwei closed the door discreetly. She even locked the door in case the children broke it later.
Gu Juexi heard the noises. He huffed without looking at her, “Get out.”
It wasn’t the first time that Gu Juexi chased her out of the room. Likewise, Ye Yuwei was very familiar with his temperament. She chose not to do as he asked because it would make him more annoyed if she did.
She leaned against the door, standing a distance away from the man who was lying on the bed.
After the command, Gu Juexi didn’t say another word. Both of them remained quiet in the already silent room as if they were in the middle of a do-not-speak game.
