Shen Jun smiled lightly in response, “No need to be so polite. You’re the host here, and it’s not right for you to be free. But it’s getting late, so we should head back.”

Jiang Chun frowned slightly and glanced at Shen Jun and Wen Nian. “Are you leaving so soon? It’s not even nine o’clock yet. Wen Nian, did you find this birthday party boring because of me?”

This question immediately led others to think that Wen Nian was the troublesome one, the one who didn’t fit in and caused the trouble.

Wen Nian didn’t reply at all. However, Shen Jun quickly replied, “No, not at all. You did a great job organizing everything. The reason we’re leaving early is because our place is quite far from here, and we’ll be getting home late.”

Jiang Chun felt a bit embarrassed as she looked at Shen Jun. “1 feel like I didn’t entertain you properly today. Let me treat you to a meal another time.”

But this time, Wen Nian spoke up first, “You didn’t fall short in your hospitality. We ate quite well, and I really enjoyed the cooking skills of your family’s chef. Besides, we’re all classmates, so there’s no need to be so formal. It’s our own reasons that we have to leave early. Thank you for understanding.”

Shen Jun also chimed in agreement, and since Jiang Chun heard their explanation, she didn’t insist on them staying. Instead, she said, “Alright, then I won’t keep you. Oh, by the way, Shen Jun, my grandma wants to meet you.”

Shen Jun raised an eyebrow in surprise. He didn’t recall ever meeting her grandma before. However, since Jiang Chun’s elder mentioned it, it shouldn’t be a difficult task to agree. “Sure.”

Upon hearing that it didn’t concern her, Wen Nian had no intention of joining. But Jiang Chun noticed and pulled her along with a smile, saying, “Since Shen Jun is here, it wouldn’t be right if you didn’t come.”

Wen Nian glanced at Jiang Chun and smiled before following along.

The elderly lady’s hearing wasn’t the best. Jiang Chun raised her voice slightly, “Grandma, this is Shen Jun.”

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, “This young man is quite good. He looks spirited and handsome! I’ve never seen such a handsome young man before. No wonder my ChunChun couldn’t stop thinking about you and even calls out your nickname in her dreams sometimes.”

Jiang Chun blushed and glanced at Shen Jun before playfully stomping her foot and shaking Grandma Jiang’s arm. She shyly complained, “Grandma, why are you talking nonsense? 1 was just glad to find a companion I can have fun with. I felt sad when 1 suddenly couldn’t reach him.”

After speaking, Jiang Chun quickly looked at Wen Nian and added, “Wen Nian, don’t misunderstand. My grandma is just saying nonsense.”

Wen Nian reached a conclusion by this point and confirmed that Jiang Chun’s intentions towards Shen Jun were indeed impure. Faced with Jiang Chun’s 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, “Grandma Jiang, it’s getting late now. My girlfriend and I should head back. We’ll come to visit you another time.”

Grandma Jiang glanced at the young couple before her and decided not to continue with the previous topic. She kindly replied, “Alright, it’s not easy to catch a ride around here. If you didn’t come by car, let Jiang Chun arrange for a driver to drive you home. Be safe on the way.”

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, “Thank you again for coming to my birthday party. Remember to send me a message when you get home.”

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 family’s 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 Nian’s house, Shen Jun asked the Jiang family’s driver to go back first. He dragged Wen Nian under the shade of the big tree in the green belt area and said, “I feel that you’re not happy.”

Shen Jun’s constant attention to Wen Nian made her feel better. Wen Nian leaned against the tree trunk and looked up. “1 think Jiang Chun likes you.”

Shen Jun chuckled when he heard this and replied with certainty, “Absolutely impossible. You’re overthinking this.”

Wen Nian rolled her eyes at Shen Jun.. “1 knew you wouldn’t believe me!”
