"I think I wouldn’t mind if you had a few visitors behind the curtain," Xiao Tan said sarcastically, "as long as you hide them well and don’t embarrass me. I wouldn’t bother with how you play with women. How about that? Isn’t Xiao Tan very magnanimous?"
Her voice suddenly became deliberately suppressed.
Wen Nian took a deep breath,
"You’ve seen what you wanted to see. If there’s nothing else, please leave. I’d like to take advantage of today to get some good rest."
"How can I do that? If I came and left right away, what would others think of us?"
Bai Qiantan rushed to say. She glanced at the food cart beside the bed, saw plenty of food, and started eating without any reservation,
"Wow, the desserts from President Mansion are really beyond words, it seems that becoming the President’s wife isn’t entirely a bad thing!"
Bai Qiantan’s chattering gave him a headache.
"Hey, Wen Nian, tell me, what’s the story with that woman? I’ve been in contact with you for over half a year now, but I haven’t seen any women around you... A personal bodyguard, that position sounds incredibly close to you..."
"Sss, what do you mean by completely ignoring me? Don’t you hear that I’m jealous?"
Bai Qiantan held an egg roll in her left hand and a cup of black tea in her right, blinking as she looked at him.
Wen Nian finished his porridge, put the bowl back on the food cart, leaned back on the pillows, tucked the covers up, and then closed his eyes, showing a complete disinterest in engaging with Bai Qiantan.
Bai Qiantan, used to such behavior, stood up,
"Alright, I won’t disturb your rest. I’ll find a book to read."
"You can go read somewhere else."
"What’s wrong with you letting me stay for a while? Do you really want my father and grandfather to know we can’t get along?"
Bai Qiantan muttered while browsing through books on a nearby shelf,
"Wen Nian, you can have any woman you want, keep whoever you want by your side. But there’s one thing... you must marry me."
Bai Qiantan finished speaking, turned around, "Did you hear me?"
On the bed, Wen Nian leaned back, his eyes closed.
After her lunch break, Tang Xiaohua had to return to duty. When she came back at one-thirty, Bai Qiantan was still there, so she stood outside the master bedroom, keeping watch.
Bai Qiantan really did read a book all afternoon, while Wen Nian slept the whole afternoon away.
At a little past three, the downstairs butler came to report that Zhongli Wuzhi wished to visit the President.
Tang Xiaohua knocked and entered, waking Wen Nian to ask for his opinion.
Wen Nian’s head really felt like it was going to explode. What kind of day was it today, with all these infrequent visitors?
When Bai Qiantan heard Zhongli Wuzhi had arrived, she glanced at the time and muttered, "I don’t like that Young Master Hua from the Zhongli Family. I’ve already kept you company for an entire afternoon..."
Tang Xiaohua hadn’t gone out yet when she heard a loud "pop" sound behind her.
Bai Qiantan just made a sound, without actually kissing Wen Nian, and then, seeing his expression turn cold, she laughed,
"Looking at your expression, I can tell that personal bodyguard of yours is no simple matter."
"Wen Nian, let me say it once more, however you want to play, you have to marry me. No matter who has your heart, I will make her understand who the Main Empress is."
Wen Nian just looked at her, saying nothing.
Bai Qiantan laughed, stood up, and walked out, brushing past Zhongli Wuzhi who was just coming upstairs.
Perhaps she truly disliked this Young Master Hua, and so she didn’t even nod or greet him.
In contrast, Zhongli Wuzhi was much more polite...
It should be said, he was very polite to all beautiful women. As he approached the door, he saw her "familiar" face,
