Shen Jun smiled lightly in response, âNo need to be so polite. Youâre the host here, and itâs not right for you to be free. But itâs getting late, so we should head back.â
Jiang Chun frowned slightly and glanced at Shen Jun and Wen Nian. âAre you leaving so soon? Itâs not even nine oâclock yet. Wen Nian, did you find this birthday party boring because of me?â
This question immediately led others to think that Wen Nian was the troublesome one, the one who didnât fit in and caused the trouble.
Wen Nian didnât reply at all. However, Shen Jun quickly replied, âNo, not at all. You did a great job organizing everything. The reason weâre leaving early is because our place is quite far from here, and weâll be getting home late.â
Jiang Chun felt a bit embarrassed as she looked at Shen Jun. â1 feel like I didnât entertain you properly today. Let me treat you to a meal another time.â
But this time, Wen Nian spoke up first, âYou didnât fall short in your hospitality. We ate quite well, and I really enjoyed the cooking skills of your familyâs chef. Besides, weâre all classmates, so thereâs no need to be so formal. Itâs our own reasons that we have to leave early. Thank you for understanding.â
Shen Jun also chimed in agreement, and since Jiang Chun heard their explanation, she didnât insist on them staying. Instead, she said, âAlright, then I wonât keep you. Oh, by the way, Shen Jun, my grandma wants to meet you.â
Shen Jun raised an eyebrow in surprise. He didnât recall ever meeting her grandma before. However, since Jiang Chunâs elder mentioned it, it shouldnât be a difficult task to agree. âSure.â
Upon hearing that it didnât concern her, Wen Nian had no intention of joining. But Jiang Chun noticed and pulled her along with a smile, saying, âSince Shen Jun is here, it wouldnât be right if you didnât come.â
Wen Nian glanced at Jiang Chun and smiled before following along.
The elderly ladyâs hearing wasnât the best. Jiang Chun raised her voice slightly, âGrandma, this is Shen Jun.â
Grandma Jiang smiled and looked Shen Jun up and down, as if she were assessing a prospective grandson-in-law. After examining him, she nodded in satisfaction and said, âThis young man is quite good. He looks spirited and handsome! Iâve never seen such a handsome young man before. No wonder my ChunChun couldnât stop thinking about you and even calls out your nickname in her dreams sometimes.â
Jiang Chun blushed and glanced at Shen Jun before playfully stomping her foot and shaking Grandma Jiangâs arm. She shyly complained, âGrandma, why are you talking nonsense? 1 was just glad to find a companion I can have fun with. I felt sad when 1 suddenly couldnât reach him.â
After speaking, Jiang Chun quickly looked at Wen Nian and added, âWen Nian, donât misunderstand. My grandma is just saying nonsense.â
Wen Nian reached a conclusion by this point and confirmed that Jiang Chunâs intentions towards Shen Jun were indeed impure. Faced with Jiang Chunâs display, Wen Nian lightly pulled her lip in a smile without saying a word.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Shen Jun spoke in a warm tone to Grandma Jiang, âGrandma Jiang, itâs getting late now. My girlfriend and I should head back. Weâll come to visit you another time.â
Grandma Jiang glanced at the young couple before her and decided not to continue with the previous topic. She kindly replied, âAlright, itâs not easy to catch a ride around here. If you didnât come by car, let Jiang Chun arrange for a driver to drive you home. Be safe on the way.â
Shen Jun nodded. Seeing this, Jiang Chun walked Shen Jun and Wen Nian to the car parked at the door. As if she had forgotten the awkward situation just now, she smiled naturally and said, âThank you again for coming to my birthday party. Remember to send me a message when you get home.â
Wen Nian and Shen Jun bid farewell to Jiang Chun before driving away. Jiang Chun stood there until the car merged with the night before revealing a mocking smile.
Jiang Chun had deliberately revealed her intentions to Wen Nian. She was hoping that Wen Nian would meet her expectations. It would be best if Wen Nian could throw a tantrum on the way home and quarrel with Shen Jun for what had happened today!
As the driver of the car was the Jiang familyâs driver, Wen Nian did not say anything along the way. However, Shen Jun could sense that Wen Nian was not in a good mood during the ride home.
When they arrived at Wen Nianâs house, Shen Jun asked the Jiang familyâs driver to go back first. He dragged Wen Nian under the shade of the big tree in the green belt area and said, âI feel that youâre not happy.â
Shen Junâs constant attention to Wen Nian made her feel better. Wen Nian leaned against the tree trunk and looked up. â1 think Jiang Chun likes you.â
Shen Jun chuckled when he heard this and replied with certainty, âAbsolutely impossible. Youâre overthinking this.â
Wen Nian rolled her eyes at Shen Jun.. â1 knew you wouldnât believe me!â
