Ye?
As in Ye Di?
She was now certain that the man who impersonated Gu Tianmu back then had fallen for her aunt for real. Or they had fallen for each other, and that was why her aunt insisted that Nalan Chunbo bear the surname of his father.
Does that mean that man was another Nalan?
“I suppose you made a copy of the footage?” asked Ye Yuwei.
Gu Tianxin did not deny it. She had no choice but to do so in order to protect herself.
She was the daughter of the Gu Family, but not a day had pa.s.sed where she actually enjoyed the privilege of being one.
And now, she had lost her mother, father, and even her own life was at risk.
She did have an older brother, but he was someone that she didn’t even dare ask for help.
Ye Yuwei looked at Gu Tianxin curling up on the sofa and didn’t ask any further. She left the office to do her work and to give Gu Tianxin some s.p.a.ce.
Meanwhile at the fis.h.i.+ng village, Nalan Chunbo had just woken up in the afternoon. He saw the blue skies and white clouds outside his window the moment he opened his eyes and began to love this place.
He washed himself up and smelled food the moment he stepped out of his room.
“Auntie, did you learn how to cook…” Nalan Chunbo saw the familiar figure in the kitchen before he could finish. Meanwhile, his aunt was sitting on the sofa with her cat in her arms.
Nalan Chunbo was speechless.
“You are awake, Papa Nalan. Lunch is almost ready,” said Wen Shan who had a turner in one hand and a cleaver in the other, and around her waist was an ap.r.o.n with pandas on it – the type of ap.r.o.n that couldn’t possibly belong to his aunt. Concerned that Wen Shan might throw the cleaver at him anytime, Nalan Chunbo held onto the bannister tightly.
His sister had sold him out again!
Well then!
“What are you waiting for? Come and get ready for lunch,” Bai Ying scoffed and looked at the man standing on the stairs.
Wen Shan had put four dishes and a large bowl of soup on the table by the time Nalan Chunbo reached the dining table.
“Auntie, Papa Nalan, serve yourselves! Sister-in-law told me that these are Papa Nalan’s favourite dishes so I learned how to cook them before I came. I don’t know if you are going to like them though, Auntie, so please let me know what you like so I can cook it for you.”
Bai Ying put her cat down and walked over to the dining table. She looked at the dishes on the table and seemed satisfied with them. She could barely cook, and for that reason she wasn’t picky with her food. She would eat anything at all just to avoid starving.
Nalan Chunbo did not expect Wen Shan to be so straightforward and say that she had learned the dishes just for him.
Wen Shan was usually too shy to be this straightforward too, until Ye Yuwei had told her that men like Nalan Chunbo would never realize what women had done for them until the women themselves actually told them.
Wen Shan sat down only after Bai Ying and Nalan Chunbo were seated.
“I learned these dishes the same week you scolded me. Although you were really harsh that day, it was my own decision to like you without your permission. So, I have decided to continue to like you for as long as I have not decided to stop liking you.”
Nalan Chunbo choked and started coughing when he heard Wen Shan’s unusual confession.
Bai Ying on the other hand continued to have her lunch emotionlessly, though she began to look at Wen Shan more approvingly.
Would it be too harsh if he made this girl leave now?
Yes, it would be.
So Nalan Chunbo chose to remain silent.
Wen Shan looked at Nalan Chunbo with sparkling eyes but Nalan Chunbo focused on his lunch with his head lowered throughout, not giving her any response at all.
How disappointing!
Wen Shan focused on her lunch with her head lowered too.
Nalan Chunbo looked up slightly and peeked at Wen Shan who looked so disappointed and wanted to comfort her, but decided not to when he remembered something and continued to focus on his lunch.
