Nalan Chunbo did not want to talk, but seeing Wen Shan’s earnest look, he figured she would be very disappointed if he remained silent, so he mumbled, “It’s quite nice.”

Upon his reply, Wen Shan stealthily flashed a peace sign under the table and started eating happily.

“Where are you going next?” Wen Shan asked.

Nalan Chunbo raised his eyebrows. “Do you still intend to follow me?”

“I’ll pay for myself,” Wen Shan interjected hastily. She even raised her hand to swear. “I promise I’ll travel at my own expense, you don’t have to pay a single penny for me. But you’ll have to give me a chance to pursue you, please?”

Nalan Chunbo frowned at her argument. Money was not his concern at all.

“Besides, look at you. You can’t even find the authentic and delicious local cuisine on your trip. A trip without great food is not a trip! But I can find them for you. As long as you’re in China, I can look for the best and the most authentic cuisine wherever you go. I can also be your tour guide, free of charge! How great is that?” Wen Shan promoted herself keenly.

“But I want to travel on my own,” Nalan Chunbo said honestly.

Wen Shan pouted miserably. “I promise I won’t be a bother, okay?”

No matter what, she was determined to follow him.

“Wen Shan, do you think I’m worth it?” Nalan Chunbo put down his chopsticks and gazed at the lady sitting across from him.

“Of course! Because I like you. At the end of the day, even if I fail, I’ve put my best effort, so that counts for something,” Wen Shan said sincerely.

Nalan Chunbo wanted to counter her argument, but upon hearing her straightforward confession and seeing her pure sparkling eyes, he gave her a bitter smile instead. “I’m not as good as I seem. In fact, I may be even worse than you can imagine.”

For example, his peculiar and obscure past.

He did not even know who his biological father, who was a criminal, was.

He did not deserve the pursuit of such a sincere and innocent lady.

If she found out about his family background, she might despise him and be disgusted.

Nalan Chunbo decided to pick up his chopsticks again and started eating. Wen Shan tilted her head in curiosity as she watched him. “Why do you always say that you are not good? To me, you look perfectly fine.”

“Let’s eat and after this, go back to your school. Don’t waste your time on me,” Nalan Chunbo blurted and lowered his head to eat again.

Wen Shan was rejected again. She was upset about his rejection, but she couldn’t force him all the time. What if he hated her?

She unleashed her skills as a tour guide and informed him about the places to visit and their historical background. Nalan Chunbo listened with great interest.

Wen Shan was energetic and full of excitement as she outlined the itineraries. Suddenly, Nalan Chunbo felt that the trip might turn lively if Wen Shan were to tag along on his next trip.

In the blink of an eye, he rebuffed his own idea. He was really crazy.

When Ye Yuwei received Wen Shan’s call, she exited the room after just having put her over-excited daughter to sleep.

“So, you want to give up?” Ye Yuwei asked as she carefully closed the door. She took a glimpse at Bai Xiaolian who was cleaning downstairs.

Ye Yuwei hardly ever logged in onto her university forum. Thanks to Bai Xiaolian’s relentless efforts, she had been checking the forum frequently to observe the discussions and to see how long her popularity among the students could last.

“Of course not!” Wen Shan uttered. “But he wouldn’t tell me where he’s heading to next. What should I do?”
