His imagination ran wild. The scenes from last night flooded into his mind. Although he hadn’t broken through her last line of defense, he had almost done everything.
Nalan Chunbo faked a cough, then turned around and continued spooning the soup to hide his red cheeks. “Why did you come out?”
Wen Shan pursed her lips. Shouldn’t he be rushing over to help her?
She was pissed off now!
Nalan Chunbo had wanted to help her, but was embarrassed to find that he was aroused by looking at her in that state.
He didn’t want to scare Wen Shan. Besides, her back was still hurt.
“It’s just a little sore, but it isn’t so painful. I can still walk,” Wen Shan muttered, standing at the doorway of the kitchen and looking at the man inside. She opened her mouth to ask him if he was upset, but she was afraid that the answer might not be what she wanted.
Nalan Chunbo finished serving the soup and turned to look at Wen Shan. He froze for a moment, then put the soup down and helped her to the dining room. “Sit down carefully, or you’ll make it worse,” Nalan Chunbo said and went to get a cushion from the living room to put behind her.
Wen Shan sat on the chair and looked at the man who was serving food in the kitchen. She felt like she was being treated like his daughter.
Four dishes and one soup were considered to be a relatively safe meal. There was nothing Wen Shan didn’t like to eat, but there was also nothing special.
Nalan Chunbo sat down next to her and handed her the chopsticks. “If you have any food cravings in the future, just tell me and I will make it for you.”
“Hey, don’t you think you’re treating me like a child in this relationship?” Wen Shan couldn’t help but ask.
Nalan Chunbo paused as he was taking a dish, hesitated for a while, then turned to Wen Shan. “Am I not your Papa Nalan?”
She did not mean that kind of father. She meant father in terms of knowledge, a symbolism in culture, not a real biological father.
Nalan Chunbo looked at Wen Shan’s bewildered expression which clearly said ‘I don’t know how to explain it to you’. He put some dishes in her rice bowl and said seriously, “It’s my responsibility to take good care of you. Moreover, if you weren’t injured, I don’t think the situation would be like this now. ”
Wen Shan, whose mind had been going haywire, suddenly understood the underlying meaning in Nalan Chunbo’s words and her face instantly flushed red.
“Shouldn’t it be like this?” Wen Shan murmured as she lowered her head and ate the rice.
Nalan Chunbo turned the rice bowl in his hand and looked at the shy girl seated opposite him. The depressed mood had just disappeared. “I thought you would understand. Wen Shan, I never intended to date you only for spiritual love.”
This was very straightforward.
What else was there besides spirit? There were some things that should not be expressed openly!
“I’m not that young anymore. If you are willing, I want to have children right after we get married.” Nalan Chunbo was being more direct and open now.
Wen Shan raised her head. There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead from eating.
“You are not older than Brother Gu. How can you consider yourself old?” Nalan Chunbo’s official age was four years younger than Gu Juexi which Wen Shan already knew.
Nalan Chunbo could not say a word.
How could he explain that he was actually several months older than Gu Juexi?
In fact, If was the one who was a few months older than Gu Juexi, not him.
Nalan Chunbo wanted to explain the situation to her, but the phone in the living room suddenly rang. He asked Wen Shan to wait for him as he got up to answer the phone. Nalan Chunbo looked at Wen Shan and his expression darkened after listening to the person on the phone.
