Chapter 328: 331 Since ancient times, romantics have never had a good ending

"Saturday. It happens to be the last speech of the presidential election,"

Tang Xiaohua said, "Once the election is over, I will go to pay respects to my mother. For now, you’re the priority."

"I’ll go with you when the time comes."

"We’ll see. You’ll probably be even busier after the campaign is over."

"Alright, we’ll see how it goes then."

Wen Nian didn’t set anything in stone.

"By the way... Did Old Mr. Wen make this trip today because of your situation with Bai Qiantan?"

Tang Xiaohua asked.

Speaking of Bai Qiantan, Wen Nian offhandedly said, "You haven’t asked me about Bai Qiantan up to now..."

"Why should I ask?"

This retort caught Wen Nian off guard.

"Ask why I plan to get engaged to her? Or something else?"

"Anything, you should at least ask a question or two. Not asking anything..."

Wen Nian glanced at Tang Xiaohua, "Actually... have you been jealous of Bai Qiantan all this time?"

"No."

Tang Xiaohua replied very calmly.

"Just admit you’re jealous, I won’t laugh at you," Wen Nian shrugged.

Tang Xiaohua suddenly smiled, "What? Like you’re jealous of Brother Lu, that would make you feel more balanced?"

Wen Nian frowned slightly, looking at Tang Xiaohua from left to right, "I think you’re really strange..."

"What’s strange about me?"

"I feel like you see through all my thoughts." This feeling made Wen Nian feel unfamiliar.

Before, when they were together, it was always he who took the lead, including their communication, actions, and so on.

"Doesn’t that mean I understand you very well?"

Tang Xiaohua said proudly.

Now, of course, she could see through his thoughts. Although she had only dated Wen Nian through both lifetimes, the truth is... one deeply engraved romantic experience is enough to see through all those pure little thoughts of both parties in love.

However, in her past life, it was entirely the opposite. With every little movement she made, Wen Nian could sense the small thoughts hidden behind it.

But with Wen Nian, it was different.

She could never grasp his thoughts. If she thought about it, it was indeed because of her own feelings of inferiority.

The gap between them was too vast, one discussing national affairs, the other, always waging wars only on paper.

The more she talked, the more disagreements there were. The more disagreements, the less daring she was to speak.

Wen Nian smiled, not denying her explanation, and went on to say, "Qiantan doesn’t want to marry me. Neither will I marry her."

"I know,"

Tang Xiaohua curved her lips and replied.

Yet these simple three words made Wen Nian freeze, "You know?"

"Yes, I know."

"What do you know?"

"I know Bai Qiantan has a lover she loves very much, a penniless artist. Bai Qiantan is so infatuated she can’t extricate herself. She was someone who could have become an outstanding diplomat but gave up further studies for such an artist, going against her family."

Tang Xiaohua spoke confidently,

"But the Bai Family’s methods are much more sophisticated than what Bai Qiantan imagines."

Stopping there, Tang Xiaohua said no more, and Wen Nian was shocked by her knowledge of the internal situation, narrowing his eyes, "Did Qu Yu tell you?"

Seeing Wen Nian’s incredulous expression, Tang Xiaohua felt very pleased!

She had always seen him composed, as if he had everything under control, which made her admire him greatly. Now, at last, it was her turn!

Even though she had a cheat, having a cheat was a skill in itself!

"I haven’t gossiped about anything related to Bai Qiantan with Qu Yu."

"And how did you come to know about it?"

The Bai Family had always kept matters concerning Bai Qiantan very tightly guarded.

"I’m not telling you."

Tang Xiaohua wagged her head with a smug look.

Wen Nian watched her behave like this, somewhat torn between laughter and frustration. Sometimes she seemed too mature for her own good, yet other times... still so childish.

"In any case... I wasn’t jealous. As for how you plan to handle this matter later, I trust you have your own strategy, and I won’t interfere."

Tang Xiaohua said earnestly.

Wen Nian fiddled with his food on the plate.

Tang Xiaohua knew Bai Qiantan was a romantic, and throughout history, romantics never had good endings.

Just like her in a previous life.

...

After lunch, Wen Nian returned to his office, where Wen Liangyu was waiting for him in the adjacent resting room.

Qu Yu informed Wen Nian, and only then did Wen Nian enter the resting room and sit directly across from Wen Liangyu.

"When exactly are you planning to stop this play?"

Wen Nian had just sat down when Wen Liangyu immediately began his inquisition.

"..."

"Last night’s incident was shocking enough, but who would have thought the President of the country would go to a movie theater to watch a film!"

Wen Nian remained silent.

"During such a critical time in the election, what on earth are you trying to do!"

"Grandfather, you’ve refused to face it, but your era has long passed. Even with the election, you’ve lost touch with the key elements. Over the past twenty years, times have changed too quickly, yet here you are, fixated on things that are completely irrelevant."

Wen Nian took a deep breath,

"Grandfather, please return home."

After saying this, Wen Nian left, and the door to the resting room closed behind him.

Wen Liangyu sat alone on the sofa, his hands clasped over his cane, his aged face filled with defiance...

His era had passed... His era had passed...!?

...

The last day of March marked the final campaign speech of this election season.

In the parliamentary hall, seats were vacant, with all eight hundred and ninety-six electoral representatives present.

The incumbent President Wen Nian, presidential candidate Zhuo Ting.

Tang Xiaohua stood to one side below the stage, watching Wen Nian ascend the podium with composure. His speech lasted only thirteen minutes, but the content was extremely rich, free of excessive emotional displays and slogans, focusing instead on solid national policy and the welfare of the people.

Zhuo Ting’s speech performance was not lacking either, but the style of his script was different, and Wen Nian’s image held a significant advantage.

In the current election, electors took into consideration the voting data collected online, with young people forming the backbone of the netizens.

Wen Nian had indeed gained an edge in this regard.

What followed was a debate between the two candidates on a few of the most critical social issues facing the nation.

The debate between Wen Nian and Zhuo Ting, one in the prime of life and the other at an age of wisdom, was quite splendid throughout.

Objectively speaking, the political talents of Vice President Zhuo Ting were indeed admirable.

If only he could refrain from using those dirty tricks and didn’t have such weaknesses, Wen Nian might not necessarily be able to defeat Zhuo Ting.

Some political scientists had consistently analyzed that Zhuo Ting’s capabilities could actually surpass those of Wen Nian.

In private, Tang Xiaohua had also asked Wen Nian, who had gladly concurred, "That’s a fair comment. But such hypothetical questions really don’t hold any significance."

Tang Xiaohua had been standing not too far from the stage all along, listening to the speeches while keeping an eye out for internal security issues.

At that moment, a familiar person tapped her shoulder.

Turning her head, Tang Xiaohua saw that the person tapping her shoulder was none other than Commander Luo Haiyong from the Navy Corps.
