Chapter 1218 - Awkward
Panda Novel
“Shanzi, who is it?” Le Tian emerged from the study with a pencil pinned in her ponytail. When she saw the people by the door, she asked, “Are they your friends?”
Nalan Chunbo composed himself and shifted his gaze from the downcast girl to the lady in baggy overalls. “We are here to pick up an order, a 599 Escort Carrier model.”
Nalan Chunbo immediately stated the purpose of his visit. His deep voice and good looks gave him a mesmerizing aura, attracting Le Tian’s attention more than it should.
However, men, sigh—
She didn’t see any good in the species.
“Oh, come on in then. You have to wait for a while though, I still have to do some final touches to the model so it may take about an hour,” Le Tian uttered. She turned around instantly and went to the study again.
Wen Shan hurriedly led the guests into the house.
“Shanzi, help me serve the VIP, would you? I may take a while,” Le Tian shouted from the study.
Wen Shan looked askance at the study, then made her way to the kitchen.
Wen Shan served them water in disposable cups, putting them down carefully.
“Ah! I remember you! You were there at my godmother’s wedding, you stood beside her,” Xixi exclaimed excitedly.
Le Tian was a big fan of snacks and junk food, so Wen Shan took all of her snacks from the kitchen and put them on the table. “Yes, I was there. My brother was the groom.”
Xixi climbed on the table to grab a snack but was immediately held back by Nalan Chunbo. She pouted and mumbled in her cutest tone, “Uncle, let me have some, just don’t tell Mommy.”
“Xixi can’t eat these,” Nalan Chunbo said as he pushed the snacks away. He spoke in a gentle manner, not intending to chide Wen Shan.
However, his remark made her blush a bright red. She had absent-mindedly forgotten about Brother Gu’s daughter’s condition, and now was frantically putting away the snacks. “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean it.”
Wen Shan’s embarrassment didn’t get past Ye Xicheng’s sharp eyes. He hopped off the sofa, tugged on Wen Shan’s blouse and said, “There are some that my sister can eat, you can show me what there is so I can get those for her.”
Wen Shan heaved a sigh of relief. She lowered the snack plate in her hand so that Ye Xicheng could pick out the snacks he wanted.
Nalan Chunbo leaned back against the sofa, Xixi in his arms. He couldn’t help but stare at his feet after seeing the embarrassed look on Wen Shan’s face. Did he say something wrong?
Ye Xicheng picked a few candies with cute shapes from the plate, then uttered, “Auntie Wen, thank you. That’s all she needs.”
“You’re welcome.” Wen Shan glanced at the young boy with gratitude in her eyes. She had heard a lot about Brother Gu’s son being a miniature gentleman, and she had witnessed his gracious manner firsthand today.
There were many photos of models around the apartment—Le Tian’s impressive handiwork.
Ye Xicheng scanned the photos enthusiastically and pointed at one of the warships. “Did the auntie make all this?”
Wen Shan was quite perplexed by Ye Xicheng’s presence, though her gaze kept going back to Nalan Chunbo.
“Yes, it’s all her work.” Wen Shan returned her attention to Ye Xicheng. This tiny gentleman and his father were two peas in a pod, although he carried more warmth and sweetness than his father did.
After Le Tian completed the model, she took it to the living hall to take some pictures. After she was done, she put the model in its designated box, wrapped it up and gave it to Nalan Chunbo.
“All done! The manager called me just now, you can take it with you,” Le Tian said indifferently with her hands in her pockets. Over the years, she had sent away so many of her models that her reluctance to part with her products had already faded.
Nalan Chunbo nodded as he accepted the box from Le Tian. He looked around and unconsciously glanced at Wen Shan.
