The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Wen Shan stared at Nalan Chunbo as if trying to figure out his intentions.

He would pay for her, he said.

After all the meals that she bought him, did he finally feel like buying her food this once?

Nalan Chunbo was staring at Wen Shan too as he waited for her reply. He hoped that Wen Shan would agree and give him the chance to at least make a move.

“You are wasting your time.” Those were the words Nalan Chunbo had said to her last time, and she was throwing them back at him now.

“We won’t know unless we try,” Nalan Chunbo took a deep breath and said, still holding Wen Shan’s arm.

Those were the words that Wen Shan had said to him last time, and now he actually agreed with them.

“Okay then, let’s have lunch. I am getting hungry anyway.” Wen Shan was getting even more upset and reached out to open the car door.

Nalan Chunbo heaved a sigh of relief and got into the car too.

“What do you feel like eating?” Nalan Chunbo asked to break the awkward silence in the car after driving onto the main road.

“Szechuan hotpot, the spicier the better,” said Wen Shan emotionlessly. She knew that Nalan Chunbo never ate spicy food and preferred bland food.

But for someone who just got bullied, she felt like lashing out at him.

Nalan Chunbo remained silent.

“I am not very familiar with this area. Pick a place so we know where to go, I know you know your restaurants well,” said Nalan Chunbo while glancing at his phone as he drove.

Nalan Chunbo had always been a gentle and patient man. If he hadn’t flipped out that one time, Wen Shan would think that he was a real gentleman, the epitome of the word ‘elegant’.

Her opinion of him had been changed forever since then. This man flipped out too, and it was scarier than anything she could have ever imagined.

Wen Shan named a random restaurant without mentioning the place, and fell silent when she saw Nalan Chunbo entering the restaurant name onto his phone that began to navigate.

The navigation was not very accurate though. The place was only ten minutes away, but they ended up spending half an hour trying to find it. Wen Shan kept quiet throughout their journey.

Nalan Chunbo took Wen Shan into the restaurant after they arrived. It was lunch hour and the tables were full, so they were told to take a number and wait for their turn in front of the restaurant.

It was the first time that Nalan Chunbo had to do this. He always had a reserved private room or a cleared-out restaurant for him to dine in, and the fact that he was standing in a line with more than twenty people queuing in front of him made his pulse quicken.

Wen Shan took out her phone after she found a place to sit and started playing with it. Considering the amount of people in the line, she estimated a one-hour wait.

“Are you in a bad mood? Why?” Nalan Chunbo sat down next to her and asked.

“Nope, I am fine,” Wen Shan said, looking like she was chatting with someone as she continued to type on her phone.

Nalan Chunbo’s lips quirked and he took out his phone to chat with Wen Shan. He switched his phone to silent mode before he started typing.

Shanshan: Yes, yes he has. Thank you so much.]

Nalan Chunbo looked at the smiling girl who was sitting right beside him and began to feel jealous of ‘If Only Time Froze When We First Met’.
