The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Wen Shan had been gone for around an hour when she finally got back to the hotel with some food. “Seafood rice, their local food in Qingdao. I went to the most authentic restaurant to get you this,” Wen Shan said proudly as she passed Nalan Chunbo’s dinner to him when he opened the door. Her eyes were sparkling and she didn’t seem impatient at all despite the hassle. She must have run back judging from the thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

It had been almost ten days and she remained as energetic as ever. She persisted no matter how cold Nalan Chunbo was towards her.

Nalan Chunbo took his dinner from her carefully.

“23 bucks altogether. I am not charging you extra for the delivery,” Wen Shan grinned and said.

Wen Shan had been buying Nalan Chunbo food and other goods and she always charged Nalan Chunbo for the things that she bought. She always drew a line no matter how good she was to Nalan Chunbo, and that was how this smart girl figured out how to not stress Nalan Chunbo out and be gotten rid of as a result.

She would buy him food then make Nalan Chunbo pay for it, so that he wouldn’t feel that he was taking advantage of her.

She was very smart and rational, even in front of her crush.

Though a rational girl like her was not rational in choosing the person to fall for.

He was clearly not a good person.

“I will get the money,” Nalan Chunbo said tonelessly and went back into his room.

Wen Shan stood outside Nalan Chunbo’s hotel room smilingly while waiting for Nalan Chunbo to come back with the money. She was holding her own dinner behind her back—some cheap fried flat rice noodles. She had run out of money. Although her brother was willing to lend her some, she would have to pay him back eventually.

And because of Wen Shan, someone who didn’t even carry cash with him started to keep notes of different currency, and even coins.

Nalan Chunbo took the exact amount and passed it to Wen Shan.

“You don’t owe me now. I will be in my room. I am familiar with this place and can bring you around tomorrow.” Wen Shan waved the money she got at Nalan Chanbo then went back to her room happily.

Nalan Chunbo noticed Wen Shan’s dinner and thought it was different from his, then remembered what she had said earlier about not having enough to have proper meals.

Never mind. He would treat her once tomorrow.

Wen Shan got back to her room and put her dinner on the table. She wore a wide grin on her face as she looked at the money she was holding and whipped out her purse to keep the money in a separate compartment. To not mix the money she got from her Papa Nalan up with her other money, Wen Shan kept all the money she got from her Papa Nalan in a separate compartment.

Wen Shan lazed in bed for some time before finally feeling hungry and getting up for dinner.

[Brother Gu’s Wife: What are you doing?]

Wen Shan was surprised to see Ye Yuwei’s message. She grabbed her phone to take a picture of her having her dinner and sent the picture to Ye Yuwei.

[Wen Shan: (image)

Wen Shan: Having my dinner. It is delicious.

Brother Gu’s Wife: So someone is having seafood rice while you have this?

Wen Shan: Hey, how did you know?]

Ye Yuwei realized then that the poor girl didn’t even follow Nalan Chunbo on social media, so she opened Nalan Chunbo’s feeds and found his latest post: a picture of the seafood rice without any captions.

Ye Yuwei took a screenshot of the post and sent it to Wen Shan.

Wen Shan cheered and screamed loudly when she saw what Ye Yuwei had sent to her. Papa Nalan actually showed off the dinner that she bought for him, how exciting!

[Wen Shan: Ahhhhh… Does this mean Papa Nalan likes what I got him?]
