The Bumpy Road of Marriage: Divorce Now, Daddy

Chapter 1615: Meeting Her In-laws For The First Time

Gulp—

The sound of Wen Shan swallowing her saliva sounded particularly loud in the quiet room.

So, Papa Nalan and Ye Yuwei’s in-laws were here?

Wen Shan carefully got off the bed and tiptoed nimbly to the door. She opened the door just enough for her to peek through a slit, eager to see the situation outside clearly.

Nalan Chunbo had his hands full of presents. Mrs. Wen welcomed him in with a wide smile. Wen Jie nodded slightly. At least she was satisfied with Mrs. Wen. They had met at the wedding before, but they did not get the chance to speak to each other. However, she was familiar with Wen Tao—she knew how great a help Wen Tao was to her son. That left her a good impression of the Wen family.

Mr. Wen changed into a set of new clothes today, but he was still a little nervous. However, it was the same nervousness that left a good impression on Gu Tianmu.

Being in the business world for decades, Gu Tianmu had encountered all kinds of people. Mr. Wen’s nervousness gave him a sense of relief. At least there would not be any petty infighting here.

This was the scarcest thing among the wealthy.

Mrs. Wen nudged Mr. Wen and asked him to get some water. Mr. Wen hurriedly turned around and went to the kitchen.

Mrs. Wen beckoned them to sit down and turned around to look at Wen Shan’s room. “Shan Shan, what are you doing in your room? Hurry up and come out.”

Wen Shan shut the door instantly and leaned against it. It felt so awkward to go out now.

Nalan Chunbo gazed at Wen Shan’s room. He did not miss the sound of the door closing. He felt an indescribable sense of loss. He wondered if Wen Shan would even come out today.

Whatever that he needed to say, he had told her nearly everything yesterday. Yet, he was not sure if Wen Shan would forgive him.

Mr. Wen poured water for them and placed the drinks in front of them. When he saw Nalan Chunbo’s gifts, he gave his wife a nudge. He was probably too embarrassed to say anything.

“It’s nice enough for you to visit! Why have you brought this gift?” asked Mrs. Wen politely after receiving Mr. Wen’s signal. When she saw that her daughter had not come out, she could not help but turn around and call out to her again.

“Perhaps she has something to deal with. Let her do her thing first,” said Wen Jie and looked at Nalan Chunbo. “Go ahead and talk to Shan Shan. I’ll chitchat with Mr. and Mrs. Wen.”

Nalan Chunbo nodded. He had wanted to go over a long time ago, but he was not able to find a chance to say anything. After all, the elders were still around.

Since Wen Jie had brought it up, he got up and walked to Wen Shan’s room.

Wen Shan had been breathing heavily as she leaned against the door. When she heard footsteps outside, her ears perked up violently and her face turned as red as a little monkey’s butt.

Nalan Chunbo raised his hand and gently tapped his fingers on the door.

Wen Shan took a deep breath. The anger in her chest had not completely subsided. However, it was not just her parents and Nalan Chunbo outside. It was Gu Juexi’s parents, who were also considered to be Nalan Chunbo’s parents.

Would she leave a bad impression if she stayed in like this?

Wen Shan’s mind was already in a mess. The sudden knock on the door sent her mind hurdling into a more jumbled up mess. She took a step back like a little rabbit and tidied up her clothes in a flurry.

This was even more nerve-racking than meeting Nalan Chunbo’s biological father for the first time, alright?

Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it about to leap out of her throat. She slowly extended a hand and placed it on the door handle. Her chaotic mind turned blank. At this moment, all she could think of was—poking her head out the door could be a sword that cut her down, and so was retreating.

She was probably the only one in the world to meet her in-laws for the first time in this manner.
