Wen Shan was taken aback by Nalan Chunbo’s question. She had intended to divert the topic, but his serious and solemn expression made her change her mind.

“I just like you. I’ve liked you ever since I first attended your speech. If I knew why I like you, I might have gotten you to like me back and we’d already be together—do you think I’d have to do all these now?” Wen Shan cupped her chin, bulged her cheeks like a pufferfish, and looked at Nalan Chunbo.

He was handsome.

Brother Gu was even more handsome, yet she didn’t fall for him. She was certain that her admiration toward Nalan Chunbo was not superficial.

“If you say I’m into your looks, Brother Gu is more handsome. I can just like him, but I don’t. I like you,” Wen Shan said in a determined and firm tone, emphasizing the last three words as she locked her gaze at him.

Nalan Chunbo was taken aback by her statement as it came unexpectedly, and he didn’t expect her seriousness in saying this too.

“I have to let you know beforehand that I may not be as good as you think I am.”

“That’s all the more reason for you to let me pursue you. If I discover your shortcomings and I can accept them, I can use this as an excuse to justify why I still like you.” Wen Shan’s eyes were bright and sparkling as she spoke.

The sparkles frightened Nalan Chunbo and triggered his intention to escape.

However, Wen Shan’s illogical statement sounded hilarious to Nalan Chunbo. Her admiration for him was so strong, even at the expense of finding excuses for his own shortcomings.

Despite the fact that there was not much interaction between them.

“There are many people who are very good at mathematics in this world.”

“But you’re the one and only Papa Nalan,” Wen Shan interjected.

Nalan Chunbo was speechless.

When the dishes were served, Wen Shan grabbed the chopsticks and handed them to Nalan Chunbo with a smile on her face.

He recoiled for a moment before he reached over to take them.

“Little Wen, is he your boyfriend?” the boss asked with a smile.

“No, he’s not. Uncle Liang, can’t you see I’m pursuing him? You have to make the dishes extra delicious today, put in your special ingredients if you have to. Pretty please?” Wen Shan looked up at the boss and pleaded without a hint of shyness.

Nalan Chunbo could only gape and stare at her in disbelief.

He heaved a sigh of relief when she said no, but what was all the nonsense after that?

How could she, a young, well-educated lady, blurt such things?

“Alright, I’ll add one specialty dish, it’s on the house,” the boss uttered with a big laugh. “Young man, this girl from the Wen family is very famous in our neighborhood. Not only is she a high achiever, but she’s a pretty lady too. You’re in luck!”

Nalan Chunbo nodded lightly without a word.

Wen Shan blushed until her face turned blood red. She hurriedly pushed the boss away and whispered to Nalan Chunbo, “Please ignore the high achiever comment.”

He was a mathematician, after all. She didn’t deserve the ‘high achiever’ t.i.tle.

“You and PA Wen are both amazing, that’s a fact.” Perhaps it was because the food was very delicious that Nalan Chunbo was willing to speak up.

Wen Shan was fl.u.s.tered over the statement. Nalan Chunbo and Nalan Wei were the renowned masters in the field of mathematics, she felt embarra.s.sed to be praised in front of an expert.

Wen Shan pushed her embarra.s.sment aside and looked at Nalan Chunbo enthusiastically, “Is it nice?”

He had been here for two days, and though the food he had eaten so far was similar to the dishes they were having, these tasted out of this world. Maybe Wen Shan was right, this place offered the most authentic cuisine.

Wen Shan looked at him like a little puppy, as if awaiting his compliment.
