Chapter 289: 292 Even if she dies, you still have to find a substitute

Wen Nian still watched her, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth,

"Oh? What else did you hear? Let’s hear it."

Qiantan opened her lunchbox, sat where Tang Xiaohua just had, took out a wet wipe to clean her hands, and started eating the food she brought. She also casually took some dishes from the table, apparently not minding that it was leftovers from Wen Nian and Tang Xiaohua. She ate in a hurry, not resembling a lady from a distinguished family at all.

"There isn’t much else, after all, there are so many rumors about you. To really talk about them would take days and nights."

Qiantan’s mouth was full as she spoke indistinctly.

Wen Nian stood up, took a clean cup from the nearby cabinet, sat across from her, and poured her a glass of water,

"Did you argue with your family again?"

Qiantan hurriedly looked up and glared at him, "I’m eating, don’t bring up such annoying matters."

Wen Nian leaned back slightly, leisurely watching her...

She hurriedly ate a couple of bites and drank some water, seemingly because the initial hunger had passed, and she began eating more slowly. She even brought up that "annoying" matter on her own,

"I feel like I can’t stay at home anymore, in their eyes, I’m just an offering! A tribute to the most powerful person in the country!"

"..."

"They’re always asking how things are going between us, whether we’ve set a date for the engagement, if we can get married by the end of the year, and so on..."

Qiantan mumbled indignantly, "Our Bai Family is still a prestigious family in Anlin, right? I don’t see how my parents are any different from common folks!"

Wen Nian sat with his legs crossed and said nothing.

Used to his usual attitude, Qiantan suddenly had an idea,

"Hey, Wen Nian, why don’t...I move in here with you?"

Wen Nian’s expression turned stern, about to speak, but Qiantan was quicker, dreamily suggesting,

"There shouldn’t be any rules in President Mansion that say you must be married to live here, right? Don’t worry, if I move in, I won’t bother you at all, I’ll be even less of a bother than before! Of course, just leave me be, hehe, how does that sound? This way, it’ll be easier for both of us."

"I refuse."

To her surprise, all her beautiful imaginations were shattered by Wen Nian’s three words.

"Why?"

Qiantan naturally had to ask.

Wen Nian chuckled softly, "Didn’t you hear that rumor? Now, Song Lili has already—"

"Enough, enough!"

Qiantan hurriedly waved her hand to stop him, her face showing her disbelief,

"You really dare to say anything, treating me like a fool?"

"..."

"Do you think I would believe such a ridiculous rumor?" Qiantan snorted, "Not to mention, I’ve already checked Tang Xiaohua thoroughly; she only looks like Song Lili."

Wen Nian tilted his head slightly, his gaze thoughtful as he looked at her.

"Don’t look at me like that, I don’t want to care about your gossip, it’s just nonsense..."

She looked disdainful, but then calmed down, sighed deeply, and said seriously for once,

"But, seeing Tang Xiaohua eating with you at the table today, I think, at least half of that rumor must be true. Your relationship with Song Lili was indeed not simple."

"..."

"So, even though she has died, you still need a substitute by your side."

Everyone has their own understanding, and such a perception from Qiantan seemed less troubling to Wen Nian.

"Oh, right, why did you send Qu Yu to Ryan Castle?"
