1419 He Only Prayed for Her Wellbeing

“To report to work. Even the head of the department has to do that,” Nalan Chunbo answered and carried Xixi into the house.

Ye Yuwei looked at Nalan Chunbo doubtfully and followed him into the house.

“Don’t you have to work?” asked Nalan Chunbo.

“I skipped work just to come home and eat with you, aren’t I nice?” asked Ye Yuwei cheekily.

“Lunch is ready, wash your hands before you eat,” Wen Jie said to Nalan Chunbo with a smile when she saw him walking into the house.

“Thank you, Auntie,” said Nalan Chunbo smilingly before he carried Xixi into the bathroom.

Gu Tianmu who was standing aside and watching everything scoffed when he saw how nice Wen Jie was towards Nalan Chunbo and how Wen Jie was still wearing the necklace that Nalan Jing had given to her.

Ye Xicheng has gone to school and Xixi was the only child at the table. She had recovered slightly and could be on her own without Ye Yuwei for a short period of time. Ye Yuwei believed that she would make a full recovery eventually.

“How is the school? I was telling Wei Wei that you could stay with us but she said the school provided you with accommodation,” Wen Jie said while helping Nalan Chunbo with the dishes.

“Yes, they do provide accommodation. It’s a small mansion just for myself with a good environment, so please don’t worry,” said Nalan Chunbo while eating his lunch.

Gu Tianmu squinted at Wen Jie who was being nice to Nalan Chunbo and began to look angry.

Ye Yuwei looked at them and decided to eat quietly with her daughter.

“He is not a child. In fact, he is even older than Gu Juexi! Why are you worried about him?” Gu Tianmu snarled when he could no longer hold in his anger.

“He is a child to me no matter how old he gets,” said Wen Jie calmly, then said to Nalan Chunbo, “Never mind him, eat more. Do eat well while you stay there alone. If not, you could always come to join us.”

“Don’t worry, Auntie, there is a canteen at the university,” said Nalan Chunbo. He was grateful to Wen Jie for being so nice to him, and he respected Wen Jie like she was his mother.

“Just find a girlfriend already and be carefree,” said Ye Yuwei suddenly, and immediately got kicked by Nalan Chunbo under the table.

“That’s true. You are getting old, it’s time to get someone to take care of you,” said Wen Jie in agreement, rendering Nalan Chunbo speechless.

“It is not something that I can rush, I will let fate decide,” Nalan Chunbo mumbled and lowered his head to focus on his food. Hidden from view, he curled his lips into a bitter smile.

He had missed his fate, and he didn’t pray for anything other than her wellbeing.

Noticing that something was bothering her brother, Ye Yuwei fed Xixi and watched Nalan Chunbo.

Gu Tianmu who was still angry realized that there was nothing he could say when no one was entertaining him.

After lunch, Nalan Chunbo stayed to talk to Wen Jie for a while before sending Ye Yuwei and Xixi to the bank.

Xixi sat in her car seat at the back and hummed nursery rhymes while Ye Yuwei sat in the pa.s.senger seat and stared at Nalan Chunbo.

“Why do you keep staring at me?” Nalan Chunbo sighed when he finally couldn’t stand it.

“Did you go to the university because of Wen Shan?” asked Ye Yuwei.

“No. I went to school for work,” Nalan Chunbo scoffed and glanced at Ye Yuwei while driving.

“I don’t believe it,” Ye Yuwei declared and sat up straight while playing with her phone, “why don’t you go after her if you like her? Just do it the way she did last time if you don’t know how.”

It was as if Nalan Chunbo wasn’t listening to Ye Yuwei since he had stopped answering her.
