“The piano is too heavy to be carried out. Shall we ask Aunt Bai whether we can organize the seafood festival at this villa? This place is spacious enough and beautiful,” Wen Shan exclaimed, full of eagerness now. The more she thought about it, the more enthusiastic she became, so she pulled Nalan Chunbo back to the villa to look for Bai Ying to discuss it.
Nalan Chunbo was dragged back by an overly excited Wen Shan. The girl was always full of energy and impulsive.
Bai Ying listened to Wen Shan’s suggestion and frowned briefly.
“If you think it’ll be too noisy, it’s alright to say no.” Nalan Chunbo knew Bai Ying preferred a quiet environment.
Wen Shan was startled for a moment because that possibility had never crossed her mind. That was the only solution she could e up with.
“If that’s the case, you can proceed with the idea and inform the villagers. We need to tidy our house pound, though.” Bai Ying gave her permission while caressing her cat.
Nalan Chunbo was shocked by the sudden decision, but Wen Shan had already showed a victory sign and rushed out to inform the villagers.
This time, he did not follow Wen Shan out but chose to sit opposite Bai Ying.
“Aunt, you’ve changed a lot,” Nalan Chunbo blurted out honestly.
Bai Ying raised her head to look at Nalan Chunbo. The cat lying in her lap stretched lazily. She replied, “That young girl would feel disappointed otherwise. She is around Wei Wei’s age.”
In the end, Ye Yuwei was the main reason.
Wen Shan and Ye Yuwei were alike because her love life was similar to Ye Yuwei’s in the past, so Bai Ying felt sorry for the young girl.
“If Wei Wei knew about your new changes, she would definitely feel relieved,” said Nalan Chunbo, then added, “Why didn’t you allow Wei Wei to visit you here?”
“I don’t want to see that guy,” Bai Ying replied before heading upstairs with her cat.
Obviously, ‘that guy’ was Gu Juexi.
She was a mother-in-law who disliked her own son-in-law.
Nalan Chunbo watched Bai Ying disappear up the stairs, then took out his phone to call Ye Yuwei.
Ye Yuwei let out a sigh of relief when he told her about her mother’s latest updates.
“It’s amazing how much your mother loathes your husband. Just to avoid seeing Gu Juexi, she is willing to sacrifice meeting you,” Nalan Chunbo chuckled.
Ye Yuwei was speechless for a moment.
“I don’t care,” Ye Yuwei replied dejectedly. “Where is Wen Shan?”
“She went to inform the villagers,” Nalan Chunbo muttered.
“It would be disgraceful to let down such a good girl,” Ye Yuwei reminded him mockingly. “Gu Juexi’s current situation will be your future situation. Let me tell you one thing: I’ve seen Wen Shan’s mother, and she is not easy to handle. She is definitely worse than my mother.”
“That’s why I am not destined to be with her or anyone else my whole life,” Nalan Chunbo murmured, leaning back against the sofa and staring at the ceiling. “With my current status, I only deserve to be a loner.”
Tears welled up in Ye Yuwei’s eyes when she heard Nalan Chunbo’s words. She wanted to tell him that there were new updates about their aunt’s case, that the truth might not be what they thought it was. However, before she could open her mouth, she was cut off by him.
“How could I hurt the girl?”
It was said in a faint voice. It sounded like a monologue, but Ye Yuwei heard every word clearly.
“Brother,” Ye Yuwei said anxiously, “actually—”
“It’s alright, I am fine here. Perhaps I will go back after a few days. I have to start cleaning the place before the villagers arrive later.” Nalan Chunbo cut her off with a small laugh and ended the call. However, he remained seated on the sofa long after.
How could he deserve happiness in his current situation?
