1562: What’s There to be Afraid of?

What’s There to be Afraid of?

Wen Shan was silent.

He definitely didn't have that kind of problem. She had seen it yesterday.

Ye Yuwei pondered.

Her brother couldn't be having a problem. This could be a huge issue.

[Shanshan: Please retract the second half of your sentence. Thank you.

Born Optimist: I guess the problem is you then. Already lying on the bed and yet the man left. 

Shanshan: My back is injured! Even if he didn't leave, we couldn't have done anything.

The Fair and Beautiful Mrs. Wen: So he left because you guys couldn't proceed? This man should not be wanted.]

Wen Shan blinked.

She didn't mean it in that way.

Why had she started this discussion with them in the middle of the night in the first place?

[Mrs. Gu: I think my brother is a true gentleman and he listened to you. 

The Fair and Beautiful Mrs. Wen: Yeah right. Before you remarried Gu Juexi, did he ever listen to you? When did he ever listen and go to the living room? No matter how you chase him he wouldn't budge.

Mrs. Gu: Please do not compare my brother to that person.

Mrs. Gu: That man is incomparably thick-skinned.]

Gu Juexi was seated next to Ye Yuwei and going through some documents when he glanced at her phone screen and managed to see that sentence.

"Mrs. Gu, is the thick-skinned person you mentioned me?" Gu Juexi asked, sounding displeased. 

Ye Yuwei grinned at Gu Juexi. "A person who is self-aware wouldn't ask this question."

Gu Juexi put his documents aside calmly and snatched Ye Yuwei's phone. 

"Hey!"

[Mrs. Gu: If a man is gentlemanly towards the lady, this means he is not infatuated with her.]

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Ye Yuwei reached out to grab her phone. "Not everyone is like you. My brother loves Wen Shan dearly." 

Gu Juexi tossed the phone aside and pinned Ye Yuwei down. "A shameless person like CEO Gu loves to sow discord."

Ye Yuwei could stare at him in disbelief. She didn't have the chance to explain herself as that person continued being shameless.

The groupchat went silent after the last message.

Le Tian doesn't know Gu Juexi well as he was in a totally different league, but she felt like that sentence didn't seem to be sent by Ye Yuwei.

[The Fair and Beautiful Mrs. Wen: Indeed, his shamelessness has no bounds.

Shanshan: Am I not attractive enough?]

Wen Shan was triggered by Gu Juexi's words. If she really had the charm, Nalan Chunbo would have stayed.

Although she wanted to let Nalan Chunbo sleep in the living room initially, seeing how he really left the room made her overthink. Women were unreasonable creatures.

Wen Shan propped her chin in her hands and stared at the bedroom door.

She then raised her head and looked at the air conditioner. The temperature was just right. With the blanket covering her, she didn't feel too cold or too hot.

[Born Optimist: Now is the time for you to prove your charm. Try calling your Papa Nalan and see if he comes over.1

Shanshan: Are you silly? If I call him he'll definitely come over, but what should the reason be?

Born Optimist: Say that you're afraid.

Shanshan: ...

Shanshan: I've been to so many cities with him and I've always stayed in a single room. Now that I'm at his place you're telling me to tell him I'm afraid?

Born Optimist: Who would be logical in a courting relationship?

The Fair and Beautiful Mrs. Wen: You can't blame society for one's dumbness.]

Wen Shan stared at the phone.

'Who's being silly? Isn't it just calling him over? What's there to be afraid of?'
