Chapter 1236: I Have My Pride

The audience was watching nervously and some girls were hoping that they could say yes for Ye Yuwei.
To be fair, not many girls would be able to turn down a marriage proposal like this.
“Marry him!” Wen Shan was the first to shout it, and it was then repeated by the audience.
Nalan Chunbo looked at Wen Shan who was hopping excitedly and wondered how she managed to be energetic all the time.
Lu Qichuan was looking at the audience absently when Nalan Chunbo noticed him.
“Did you lose before even having a fair chance to compete?” Nalan Chunbo asked bluntly.
Lu Qichuan leaned against the entrance door and looked at the couple on the stage.
“Do you think she would remember me if I told her that my name was Lu Qichuan during the rescue?” asked Lu Qichuan self-mockingly.
Nalan Chunbo reached out to pat Lu Qichuan’s shoulder. What he did not tell Lu Qichuan was that there would have been no point in telling Ye Yuwei his name, because Ye Yuwei would have ended up falling for whoever that was better looking.
Gu Juexi had won at the starting line solely for being better looking than Lu Qichuan.
Lu Qichuan looked at Ye Yuwei who was saying yes to Gu Juexi, and Gu Juexi who was sliding the ring on Ye Yuwei’s finger. He then turned to leave without looking back when the couple started hugging each other with their children standing by their side.
Nalan Chunbo looked at Wen Shan who was getting even more excited and turned to leave too.
Wen Shan started looking around after she settled down and ran towards the exit when she noticed that her Papa Nalan who was there earlier had left.
Nalan Chunbo had already passed the church. The afternoon sunlight was so bright that he could barely open his eyes.
Wen Shan spotted Nalan Chunbo’s receding figure when she left and quickly went after him.
“Papa Nalan,” Wen Shan called out loudly.
Nalan Chunbo stopped where he was without looking back.
Wen Shan grabbed the chance and ran past Nalan Chunbo. She ran so fast that she was panting heavily as she stood in front of Nalan Chunbo.
Nalan Chunbo looked at Wen Shan who was looking excited and energetic again as compared to how she looked earlier when they collected the model.
“It’s afternoon, Papa Nalan. Let me buy you lunch,” said Wen Shan after she composed herself.
Nalan Chunbo frowned.
“I swear it will be just lunch. I will not follow you around anymore, I promise,” Wen Shan put her hand beside her ear and swore, while Nalan Chunbo continued to frown.
“And I wasn’t trying to avoid you. It’s just that what you said to me was too harsh, and I have my pride,” Wen Shan lowered her head and said softly.
Her voice was low, and it made Nalan Chunbo’s heart ache. He wanted to reach out and stroke her hair but his mind wouldn’t let him do it.
How are you going to deserve a girl like this, Nalan Chunbo?
“What do you say? Give me a chance to buy you lunch, please?” asked Wen Shan while tugging on Nalan Chunbo’s shirt gently.
Her pitiful image was like that of an abandoned puppy, and it made Nalan Chunbo swallow all the words that he was going to say.
He could vividly remember how Wen Shan looked when she had cried that day.
Not able say no to the girl again, Nalan Chunbo stopped himself from turning Wen Shan down.
Wen Shan immediately got excited again when she noticed that Nalan Chunbo didn’t seem to be turning her down.
“I know so many good foods around the school. Sichuan cuisine, Lu cuisine, Guangzhou cuisine—I could get you any food that you feel like eating,” said Wen Shan.
Nalan Chunbo opened his mouth as if he was going to say something.
