At this point, there was yet another person who knew her identity.
Tang Xiaohua couldn’t clearly say whether Wen Nian had done so unintentionally or deliberately.
Bai Qiantan clenched her fists, her face a mix of shock, astonishnt, and anger, yet the bandage on her nose made her look sowhat comical no matter how one looked at her.
The instigator of this incident seed to be Lu Ziqing...
He stood to the side, listening to the conversation between Wen Nian and Bai Qiantan, his expression growing uglier by the second!
For a mont, the four people present fell silent, and Tang Xiaohua didn’t even know what to say...
Bai Qiantan seed to still be in shock, but soon, she recovered from her astonishnt and lifted her head to look at Wen Nian,
"You knew about Zeng Youleng, you’ve always known..."
"Yes."
"Then, does she want to go back to being Song Lili?"
Bai Qiantan’s thoughts seed to beco clearer as she seriously asked Wen Nian.
"No."
Tang Xiaohua spoke before Wen Nian, a bit afraid of him...
Wen Nian remained silent.
Bai Qiantan took Tang Xiaohua’s words as the truth and continued, "If she does not intend to go back to being Song Lili, then Song Lili is a dead person. You’re remarrying as a widower, where’s the cri of bigamy in that?"
"..."
Wen Nian silently looked at Bai Qiantan, seeing the stubbornness and dread in her eyes.
Zeng Youleng’s future and fate were all in the hands of her father, and she was like a brave warrior who, for love, threw caution to the wind and charged headlong into battle for Zeng Youleng!
Tang Xiaohua had always been certain that Bai Qiantan had no feelings for Wen Nian and had a rough idea of how this political marriage had co about.
But Wen Nian’s thoughts... indeed, were unpredictable.
The man nad Zeng Youleng...
If she told Bai Qiantan now that this man was not worth so much of her devotion, she wouldn’t believe it, would she? At most, she would think that Tang Xiaohua was in cahoots with her own parents.
"Marry , and I will wholeheartedly help you. The Bai Family will beco your most advantageous support."
"..."
Bai Qiantan bit her lip, and with Wen Nian saying nothing, it only added to her anxiety and restlessness.
She stepped forward, slightly tilting her head upward to look at the taller Wen Nian,
"Wen Nian, marry , you won’t lose out. Whether she is Tang Xiaohua or Song Lili, I don’t care. You two can sleep in the sa bed and have breakfast together every day, I don’t want any face anymore, but I truly need this marriage."
"I know why you’re doing this. You can treat my marriage as a trivial matter, but I can’t."
Having said that, Wen Nian walked past Bai Qiantan and approached Tang Xiaohua,
"You said you want to leave, I won’t stop you. You said you don’t know when you’ll return, I’ll wait. You said you love , I won’t marry anyone else. Keep this firmly in mind, the spouse column of Wen Nian will always be yours."
"...Okay."
The oath he spoke was like a needle sewing into her heart, causing a painful sting, yet it was a pain that etched deep into her soul.
Tang Xiaohua’s simple "Okay" was a response to Wen Nian, but also served as an answer to the present Lu Ziqing and Bai Qiantan.
"What if I make her identity public?"
Bai Qiantan’s voice cooled down, her tone foreboding.
"She doesn’t want to be Song Lili, but I am determined to have her revert to being Song Lili. If you reveal it for us, then I will ’go with the flow’ and place her in the position of the President’s wife."
At that mont, Tang Xiaohua knew clearer than anyone Wen Nian’s cunning and persistence.
He respected her wishes, but at the sa ti, he never gave up on his own ideas.
He wanted to keep her, from Tang Xiaocao to Bai Qiantan...
Ah... Xiao Hua sighed internally, finding herself at a loss with Wen Nian.
Bai Qiantan stood frozen in place, her heart pounding thunderously, her sharp eyes now unexpectedly shimring with moisture.
Wen Nian had a lover...
She didn’t know how deep the feelings between Wen Nian and Tang Xiaohua were, but given the years, the sudden ergence of this Tang Xiaohua was indeed different from others.
She had long felt a sense of crisis, yet she hadn’t expected it to be this severe.
What should she do?
Panic flashed in her eyes, and after a mont of hesitancy, her thoughts steadied.
"You’re the one who is dead set against marrying , but I’m willing. Then... my dad and Grandpa Wen can’t bla , right?"
Bai Qiantan muttered, as though talking to herself, but everyone present heard it.
Tang Xiaohua’s eyebrows twitched, sensing that the situation was developing unfavorably.
"Fine, then suit yourselves! Anyway, Wen Nian, I’ve already begged you, and you can see I’ve tried both carrot and stick, right? Ugh... no way, you’re too cunning, Commander Lu is much more upright!"
She walked over to Commander Lu,
"Commander, you saw just now, didn’t you?"
"Saw, saw what?"
Lu Ziqing was startled by Bai Qiantan’s sudden change, sowhat unable to recover.
Are the people in Anlin City all this complicated?
"Eh, by the way, how did you know I was planning to get engaged to Mr. President?"
Having cald down, Bai Qiantan also had the leisure to think about other things; her question made both Wen Nian and Tang Xiaohua curiously look over.
Lu Ziqing took a deep breath, sowhat regretting his own impulsiveness and bluntness.
"I’m starting my journey back to Xilin tonight, and I wanted to visit the Bai Family to check on your..." Lu Ziqing felt a bit awkward pointing at her nose, "I wanted to say hello, and if there’s any issue with your nose, you can find ."
"I didn’t see it coming, you’re quite responsible!"
Bai Qiantan said with a laugh as she patted Lu Ziqing on the shoulder.
"...And then I saw Mr. President’s parents at the Bai Family; they were discussing the details of your engagent with Mr. President, I heard it all pretty clearly, so..."
Lu Ziqing pursed his lips, swearing profusely in his heart.
"Who would have thought your affairs could be so ssy, so complicated..."
It’s like this with Wen Nian and Xiao Li, and now Bai Qiantan getting involved too, everyone has their own thoughts and motives, turning what should have been pure love and marriage into a battlefield.
Bai Qiantan still smiled, "There’s no helping it... how many people in the world can be like Commander Lu, forging their own path with their abilities alone."
"..."
"Anyway, you saw, I truly have tried very hard to convince Wen Nian to marry , but his heart lies elsewhere, and... you know."
I don’t understand!
Lu Ziqing’s wide eyes seed to respond just so.
Bai Qiantan pointed to her nose and smiled at him, "Commander, isn’t this your doing?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
The three were silent.
"Now co to my house with , and testify that Wen Nian doesn’t want , that I’m also desperate."
"..."
Lu Ziqing glanced at Wen Nian and Tang Xiaohua.
"Miss Bai, you really don’t need to do so much for Zeng Youleng; he’s not worth it..."
"Tang Xiaohua, I also think you’re not worth Wen Nian’s sacrifices."
"..."
"Everyone feels the warmth and chill of their own drink; just take care of yourself."
Having said that, Bai Qiantan dragged Lu Ziqing out forcibly.
Tang Xiaohua was no longer composed, she looked at Wen Nian, "Now that she’s said this, what am I supposed to do?"
