Xiao Yaojing was dizzy from the shaking. She looked at Wen Shan who was hopping in front of her like a rabbit. Was this the gift of youth?
The problem was that Wen Shan wasn’t even considered a youth anymore. She was a PhD student in her late twenties, so where did the foolishly naive youngster vibe come from?
Xiao Yaojing gripped Wen Shan’s arms to suppress her excitement and said, “I’ll tell you a piece of insider information since you’ve been saying good things about me to your mother.”
“Is it about Papa Nalan? Do tell, do tell!” Wen Shan composed herself, tidied her messy hair and sat timidly next to Xiao Yaojing.
Xiao Yaojing glanced at her. “Do you know that your Papa Nalan has been very dispirited lately?” Xiao Yaojing uttered softly.
Wen Shan nodded. She had seen it with her own eyes earlier. Even Papa Nalan’s shadow looked sorrowful and heartbreaking.
“He is experiencing the most devastating blow in his life now. Hence, it’s a good time for you to seize this chance. Do you want to buy the chance with this fifty dollars?” Xiao Yaojing suggested as she arched an eyebrow calculatingly.
Wen Shan jumped to her feet hastily and exclaimed, “I’ll go to him right away.”
Xiao Yaojing called out at Wen Shan who had bolted, “Hey, aren’t you here to visit your friend?”
“Papa Nalan is more important! Bye,” Wen Shan shouted as she ran.
Xiao Yaojing leaned on the bench as she looked at the woman who slowly disappeared from her sight and sighed. They were both from the same parents so why was the other one so different?
Was she blind? How did she fall for a guy like him?
Meanwhile, PA Wen who was working overtime in the office sneezed. Who had cursed him?
Wen Shan went straight to the hotel where Nalan Chunbo was staying. When she rang the doorbell, she rubbed her hands anxiously and tapped her foot lightly.
She raised her head hastily as the door opened.
After receiving the news about Ye Yuwei, he could finally relax and take a nap. He was woken up by the doorbell in the middle of his sleep. He felt even more peculiar as he saw the person at the door.
Wen Shan was stunned for a second, then she fumbled with her purse and retrieved the fifty dollar note.
“Erm, I’m here to return your money and thank you,” Wen Shan mumbled shyly as she handed the money to him.
Nalan Chunbo looked at her in confusion as he leaned against the door. As far as he remembered, he mostly used cards for payment. Despite having cash in his wallet, he hardly used it, let alone a large banknote like fifty dollars.
Wen Shan bit her lip anxiously as she gazed at Nalan Chunbo.
“It’s nothing, it’s not worth mentioning. Keep the money,” Nalan Chunbo replied as he slowly retreated back to his room.
Wen Shan quickly interjected before Nalan Chunbo closed the door, “Erm, I can’t do that, I have to repay the money you lent me. That’s common sense.”
Nalan Chunbo paused and looked at the lady by the door again. He was surprised by her big sparkly eyes. How could her eyes be so pure and innocent?
What about him? He couldn’t even interpret his own eyes right now.
Nalan Chunbo took the banknote from her and said, “Alright, I’ll accept it. You can leave now.”
He was no match for such an innocent lady.
“Hey—” Before Wen Shan could say anything else, the door had already been shut. Wen Shan sighed in defeat and leaned against the closed door. What should she do now?
