The waitress was stunned for a moment. Why were all the good-looking and loving men taken?
“Who are you calling your girlfriend?” Wen Shan looked at Nalan Chunbo and asked angrily after the waitress left.
“You. Haven’t you been courting me? I can now declare that you have succeeded,” said Nalan Chunbo patiently.
Back when they ate out together, many people thought they were a couple and she would always be the first to clarify that she was still courting him so that he didn’t get uncomfortable. So technically, his statement wasn’t wrong.
Wen Shan was speechless at Nalan Chunbo’s shamelessness.
“Who said I am still courting you? I gave up on you a long time ago,” Wen Shan roared, blushing from annoyance or embarrassment, she didn’t know.
Wen Shan’s harsh words hurt Nalan Chunbo, but he just looked at her blankly and said, “It’s my turn to court you this time then.”
“What do you mean, Nalan Chunbo?” Wen Shan demanded and slammed her chopsticks on the table, making the waitress who was serving their dishes jump in alarm.
Nalan Chunbo stared at her emotionlessly while the waitress put the dishes on the table. The waitress even had to set up a mini table rack for the excessive dishes they ordered.
The waitress quickly left after serving their dishes.
“It’s just as I said, Wen Shan, I am courting you now,” Nalan Chunbo said as he straightened and started dropping the pieces of meat into the boiling soup.
Wen Shan was completely stunned.
“But I don’t like you anymore,” said Wen Shan through clenched teeth.
“So this is how it feels. I understand now.” Nalan Chunbo nodded slightly and put the cooked meat on the plate in front of her.
He used to say the same thing to Wen Shan back then.
So this is what it felt like when someone said it to you.
“Dig in while it’s hot. Don’t eat spicy food so often though, it is bad for your throat,” said Nalan Chunbo casually.
Wen Shan took a deep breath. She felt like throwing the pot at the man’s face, but at the same time, she felt her heart flutter. Was this man doing this on purpose?
“I actually looked for you to tell you something. Did you hear about the movie that Gu Juexi will be directing?” Nalan Chunbo asked while adding vegetables and meats that would take longer to cook into the soup.
Wen Shan nodded, she had heard about it. In fact, Gu Juexi had only directed blockbuster physics movies, and she had watched every single one of them.
“I was telling Gu Juexi to let you participate in the production as a screenwriting assistant,” said Nalan Chunbo as he helped Wen Shan with the dishes. He, on the other hand, had not eaten anything yet.
“Me? A screenwriting assistant?” asked Wen Shan in disbelief.
Being the screenwriting assistant for the production of Gu Juexi’s movie would be an achievement recognised by physicians across the world, and it was definitely a much better opportunity than being a teaching assistant.
Moreover…
Wait…
Why did she feel like something was wrong?
If had just told her that she didn’t have to follow Professor Yin’s instructions anymore, and Nalan Chunbo actually got her a new job at the same time? Were they just coincidences?
“How do you know that I don’t have to assist Professor Yin anymore?” asked Wen Shan. Her lips were red from the spicy hot pot, and she was looking at Nalan Chunbo sharply.
Nalan Chunbo’s hand froze when he heard Wen Shan’s question and his brain raced to think of an answer.
