What was he worried about?
He was worried that old feelings might resurface.
Even more intensely this time.
But how was he supposed to say that to anyone?
“Why can’t there be just one maid of honor and one best man?” Nalan Chunbo grumbled, extremely reluctant to be one of the best men.
“Be grateful, Gu Juexi’s father wanted to have five each at first. I wonder what made him think that his son is good at making friends.” Ye Yuwei happily complained about her husband without holding back when he was not around.
“It must be hard for you,” Nalan Chunbo chuckled, picking his cup up from the table.
Ye Yuwei turned and saw Xixi carrying a doll out from the guest room. What a toy detector!
The doll was a character from one of the latest cartoons. The doll was not that big and easy for Xixi to carry on her own.
Nalan Chunbo’s mind went blank for a second when he saw Xixi carrying the doll.
He had seen the doll in a mall before he reached here. He bought it out of impulse, probably because the doll’s eyes resembled Wen Shan’s.
“Thank you, Uncle,” Xixi went over to Nalan Chunbo smilingly and kissed him on the cheek before she went back to her Mommy with the doll in her arms.
“Aren’t there plenty of unmarried men in his office?” Nalan Chunbo curled his lips and asked, leaning back against the sofa.
“Have mercy for those poor men,” Ye Yuwei scoffed, pulling Xixi into her lap. It was not the first time that Nalan Chunbo had bought toys for Xixi so the doll didn’t attract much attention.
“So he really doesn’t have anyone else?” Nalan Chunbo looked away from the doll and asked again.
“What do you think?” Ye Yuwei looked at Nalan Chunbo as if what he asked was stupid. She would never have come to Nalan Chunbo if they had other candidates.
The amount of friends Gu Juexi had was outrageous. Not wanting strangers to be the best men at his wedding, Gu Juexi had even suggested not having best men at all for the wedding.
Ye Yuwei on the other hand insisted that she wanted her wedding to be as normal as possible.
“Okay then,” Nalan Chunbo pondered, then decided to do it since it was his sister’s wedding.
“I will bring you the best man’s suit after I collect it from the shop.” Thinking that Nalan Chunbo might not want to leave the house, Ye Yuwei suggested helpfully.
“Don’t worry about it, you must be up to your ears preparing. Give me the address so I can collect it myself.” Nalan Chunbo couldn’t bear seeing Ye Yuwei running around so much.
Ye Yuwei was about to remind Nalan Chunbo that Wen Shan might be there too tomorrow but eventually decided to keep quiet.
What if that was the chance for them to meet again?
Worried that Nalan Chunbo might skip his meals again, Ye Yuwei dragged him out for grocery shopping and had lunch with him before she left with Xixi.
Nalan Chunbo walked them out and found Gu Juexi’s driver already waiting.
“Please don’t be sad, Uncle. Xixi will be sad too if Uncle is sad.” Xixi gave Nalan Chunbo a hug and kissed him on his cheek.
“What makes you say that Uncle is sad, naughty girl?” Nalan Chunbo chuckled.
He was still the Nalan Chunbo they knew—the Nalan Chunbo who smiled elegantly, pampered his sister, and spoiled the two kids.
But even Xixi could tell that her uncle was not happy.
“Why don’t you go after what you’re missing?” Ye Yuwei put Xixi into her car seat, then turned to Nalan Chunbo.
