When Nalan Chunbo saw the person behind the door, he nodded politely in chivalry befitting a gentleman. “Auntie.”
Nalan Chunbo had left quite the impression on Mrs. Wen ever since the wedding, although Mrs. Wen was not the type to interfere with her kids’ relationships. That was why she never asked. At this moment, she felt rather excited to see Nalan Chunbo visiting in person.
“I remember you. You were the best man that day, weren’t you?” Mrs. Wen said with a smile as she welcomingly ushered him in.
“You have a very good memory, Auntie.” Every move made by a gentleman should exude a temperament that was pleasing to the eyes, especially on a man like Nalan Chunbo.
“Come in, come in. It’s cold outside. B City is such a cold place. It’s nothing like our old place,” said Mrs. Wen said enthusiastically as she turned around and called out to Wen Shan’s room. “Shan Shan, we have a guest. Come on out.”
There was no movement in Wen Shan’s room. Nalan Chunbo had already walked through the main door. However, when he heard Mrs. Wen call out to Wen Shan, his body tensed up a little involuntarily.
Nalan Chunbo did not deny that he was definitely shocked.
However, his elegance and gentlemanliness did not allow him any reaction that was related to fear.
Therefore, he kept up the appearance of an elegant and sophisticated nobleman.
Mrs. Wen beckoned Nalan Chunbo to sit down. After thanking her, Nalan Chunbo’s gaze was still affixed on the door to Wen Shan’s bedroom. However, when Mrs. Wen poured him some water, he recollected himself. “Auntie, you’re too polite. I hope you don’t mind my unannounced visit.”
Due to the special circumstances today, the gift that Nalan Chunbo prepared yesterday was still at home. He did not have the time to go back and get it.
Wen Shan came out of the room irritatedly. “Who—” Before she could finish her sentence, she recognized the man sitting in the living room. A burst of anger surged up in her heart. Wen Shan immediately went over to pull him up and chase him out, “Go away. Who told you to come in? Don’t come to my house, you—”
“Wen Shan, what are you doing?” Mrs. Wen yelled in a horrible burst of temper. She directly reached out and twisted Wen Shan’s ear.
Wen Shan cried out in pain and instinctively tilted her head toward Mrs. Wen to ease the pain.
“Auntie,” said Nalan Chunbo quickly. When she pinched Wen Shan’s ear, his expression changed quite visibly. It was obvious that he felt sorry for Wen Shan. However, this was Wen Shan’s mother, his future mother-in-law. He did not dare to act rashly. Therefore, he could only reach out to grab Wen Shan’s arm. He pulled Wen Shan to his side with a little force.
Mrs. Wen witnessed his obvious display of protectiveness—like a parent protecting his offspring.
“Shan Shan—” Mrs. Wen glared at her daughter with a threatening voice, implying to Wen Shan that she wanted Wen Shan to quickly introduce the man in front of her.
Wen Shan snorted and resumed pushing Nalan Chunbo out.
However, Nalan Chunbo had no intention to leave. Who could do anything to force him anyway?
Since Wen Shan did not intend to introduce him, he could only rely on himself.
“Auntie, I am Shan Shan’s boyfriend. We’ve met before. Ye Yuwei is my younger sister,” announced Nalan Chunbo. As he said that, Wen Shan pinched his arm hard.
“Whose boyfriend? We broke up. Broke. Up—”
Slap—
Mrs. Wen raised a hand and landed it on Wen Shan’s shoulder. It rang loudly.
Involuntarily, Nalan Chunbo pulled Wen Shan to his back. He covered the area Wen Shan just got hit with his big hand as if he was worried that Mrs. Wen would land another blow.
“Mama, what’s that for?” Wen Shan cried out in pain.
Mrs. Wen took in every single move that Nalan Chunbo made. This young man was good-looking and polite. Most importantly, he was unconditionally good to her daughter.
Therefore, Mrs. Wen could basically conclude that she was very satisfied.
