The young maid was on the verge of tearing up.
Ever since the abduction of Bai Xiaolian, she had worked really hard under the employment of the Gu family and feared making the slightest mistake. If she was the cause of ruining Nalan Chunbo’s relationship with his girlfriend, she would definitely be fired from her job.
“It’s alright,” Nalan Chunbo said as the young maid helped him return to his apartment. He had better wait until he had fully recovered before he tried to make things clear with her, otherwise things might go awry.
Wen Shan left the apartment, wiping her tears away roughly and searching for Le Tian’s contact in her phone. She must have been crazy to think that Nalan Chunbo needed her when he was sick!
“Le Tian, let’s go for a drink,” Wen Shan blurted out then ended the call without waiting for her reply.
Le Tian hurried to the bar to find Wen Shan swaying slightly on her chair.
She had definitely drank quite a lot.
“Shanzi, what’s wrong?” Le Tian hurried over and covered the mouth of the beer glass Wen Shan was holding. “Why are you drinking so much?”
“I must be a fool, the biggest one of all! Does he even need me at all? No, he doesn’t! But I, fool that I am, rushed to his doorstep to deliver medicine just because of one phone call, only to be greeted by another woman!” Wen Shan exclaimed, grabbing Le Tian’s shoulders and shaking her vigorously.
Le Tian only vaguely understood what Wen Shan was talking about considering how much her head was spinning at being shaken. Wen Shan was referring to her Papa Nalan who Le Tian knew she could not let go of although she said otherwise.
“Why am I that crazy?” Wen Shan sighed loudly and slumped over the bar counter. “Why can’t I forget him? Why?”
Le Tian helped her up, stopping her from falling off her chair. She felt the answer to Wen Shan’s questions was obvious.
Falling in love obviously led to eternal doom.
Hence, Le Tian did not stop Wen Shan from drinking or advise her against it because getting drunk might let her sleep better. Le Tian just accompanied her, faithfully watching over her friend.
“Shanzi, your credentials are quite good. There are so many guys pursuing you at college, why do you still want Nalan Chunbo?” Le Tian scoffed as she poured another glass of alcohol for Wen Shan. “If you think he’s handsome, I’m sure you’ve seen more handsome ones! You even use honorifics when referring to Gu Juexi who is around Nalan Chunbo’s age!”
Both Gu Juexi and Nalan Chunbo were really attractive but she had to admit that Nalan Chunbo still came in second compared to Gu Juexi.
“That’s right! But why?” Wen Shan laughed, but felt dejection beginning to creep in. She just couldn’t understand why she couldn’t move on from Nalan Chunbo.
Nalan Chunbo was not the most handsome man she knew nor the best at Mathematics because If was on par with him, but Wen Shan still couldn’t get over him.
“Le Tian, do you know something? During our sophomore year, when I first saw his eyes, I saw the brightness in them. It felt like he was only looking at me, and from that moment on, he had secured a place in my heart,” Wen Shan slurred drunkenly.
Le Tian, however, understood what she said.
“I thought that he was looking at me,” Le Tian responded, grinning.
“That’s right, he was clearly looking at everybody. I was the only unlucky one who fell into his trap.” Wen Shan lost her grip on the beer glass she was holding and it fell onto the counter, rolling away.
Le Tian scanned her surroundings and raised her hand in apology. She then helped Wen Shan to her feet. “Alright, let’s go to another place. Do you want me to continue accompanying you to drink?”
“Le Tian, what are you doing here?” An extremely displeased voice said just as Le Tian was about to leave the bar with Wen Shan.
