Chapter 1622: Only You Have This Privilege

Mr. Wen was right. He could not speak for the rich and affluent families, but most families would not hope their daughters marry a man who had no parents. The girl’s parents would think that their daughter would have no one to take care of her after getting married and giving birth, or that n.o.body could help babysit their children. These would make it very difficult for their daughter.

However, after Mr. Wen said that, he received a murderous glare from Mrs. Wen. Then, he turned to Wen Jie and added with an apologetic smile, “In-laws, that’s not what we mean to say. Nalan is an excellent son. We all want—”

“Why don’t you want your daughter to marry into such a family?” Gu Tianmu asked out of curiosity.

Mr. Wen did not hide anything from him. Gu Tianmu nodded to show that he had learned something new today.

As a mother, Wen Jie could understand their concern. “In-laws, you don’t have to worry. Chunbo is my son. When Shan Shan marries into our family, she will be my daughter-in-law too. I will treat Shan Shan the same way I treat Wei Wei. I will not let Shan Shan suffer any grievances.”

Mrs. Wen responded quickly. She knew that Wen Jie was a good mother-in-law on the day of the wedding. Naturally, she was not afraid.

Nalan Chunbo held Wen Shan’s hand and led her out. However, Wen Shan shook him off as soon as they stepped out of the door. Wen Shan turned around and looked at Nalan Chunbo arrogantly. “I was just giving face to Uncle and Auntie. Don’t you dare think that I’ve forgiven you.”

Nalan Chubo rubbed the tip of his nose. Her words sounded rather heart-wrenching.

However, since she was willing to give face to the elders, it proved that she was still willing to continue walking down this path with him. If she was still angry now, then let her be. It was his own fault, after all.

“Okay,” Nalan Chunbo answered in a good-natured manner.

Wen Shan pursed her lips lightly. Must this person have such a good temper? If that was the case, it would make her feel too embarra.s.sed to stay angry at him, wouldn’t it?

The elevator arrived. Nalan Chunbo initially wanted to hold her hand and lead her in. Yet, after giving it a thought, he gave up on holding her hand. Instead, he let her enter first.

Wen Shan walked in sullenly. Nalan Chunbo followed behind her and pressed the elevator b.u.t.ton for the first bas.e.m.e.nt floor. His car was parked there.

There were only two of them in the elevator. Nalan Chunbo stood in front of her while Wen Shan leaned against the wall of the elevator and stared at his back. She could not help but purse her lips.

Since n.o.body spoke, the atmosphere in the elevator was a little too quiet. It was quite uncomfortable for Wen Shan who used to be a chatterbox. Yet, Nalan Chunbo was the kind of person whom you could not get into an argument with even if you were angry at him. The man simply had a good temper. It was as though he had no temper at all.

Therefore, Wen Shan sulked a little.

When the elevator reached the first bas.e.m.e.nt floor, Nalan Chunbo took the lead and held the elevator door open for Wen Shan. He only let go after she went out.

Wen Shan snorted. “Why don’t you become a hotel attendant since you’re acting so chivalrously?”

Nalan Chunbo paused slightly and reached out to hold Wen Shan’s arm. His gaze was serious.

Wen Shan was rendered speechless. ” … ”

She was just pulling his leg. He would not get angry at her just because of that, would he?

“Only you have this privilege,” Nalan Chunbo said gravely.

His tone sounded so serious that it felt like she would be at fault if she dared to refute him.

Wen Shan blinked. After blinking for the third time, Nalan Chunbo had already opened the car door for her. “Let’s go. I’m taking you somewhere.”

“…” Wen Shan did not say anything.

It felt like she could not catch up to Papa Nalan’s train of thought at all.

Wen Shan sighed and shook her head. She bent over and got into the car. Nalan Chunbo reached out to fasten her seatbelt after she sat down.

“…” Another speechless moment.

He was treating her so chivalrously that it made her feel like having a cold war with a person like him was the biggest mistake in Wen Shan’s life.
