Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

In a local restaurant.

"Why!"

Boss Qin looked at Qin Huanhuan and sighed, saying, "This old friend of mine has been gone for more than twenty years. Let's just leave it at that and not mention it. It's all tears if we talk about it too much."

Seeing that Boss Qin was unwilling to talk about it, Qin Huanhuan didn't press him further, as it was his privacy.

Boss Qin turned around and fetched three more bottles of beer, saying to Qin Huanhuan, "Little Qin, these three bottles of beer are a gift from me. We hit it off immediately and are from the same clan, so this is just a small token."

He paused for a moment, then added, "This meal is on me."

Qin Huanhuan quickly said, "How can that be? Boss Qin, you don't need to be so polite."

Boss Qin laughed heartily and said, "Although my shop is small, I can still afford to treat you to a meal. We both share the surname Qin, so meeting you is fate! Hahaha, please give me this opportunity!"

Qin Huanhuan wasn't a pretentious person, but she wasn't one to take advantage of others either. She still felt it was inappropriate to let a restaurant owner she had just met treat her to a meal.

Just as Qin Huanhuan was about to speak, Zhang Jie and Wu Lei stood up and called out to her from behind, "Captain Wang Mang, what brings you here?"

Qin Huanhuan was sitting with her back to the door, so she couldn't see the person behind her. But when she saw Zhang Jie and Wu Lei stand up and call for someone, she turned around and saw a tall man in a black suit standing behind her.

Wang Mang is a few years older than Zhang Jie and Wu Lei, and is one of the three deputy captains of the Xiao family's bodyguard team.

Wang Mang nodded to Zhang Jie and Wu Lei and said, "Brothers, I've come to find Miss Qin to see Madam."

Then he politely said to Qin Huanhuan, "Hello, Miss Qin. Madam wants you to see her."

Zhang Jie quickly introduced, "Miss Qin, Captain Wang Mang is Madam's personal bodyguard."

When Qin Huanhuan heard Wang Mang say that the lady wanted to see her, she immediately thought of Xiao Zhan's mother, Lin Wanrong, including the phone call Lin Wanrong made to Xiao Zhan, and the words she said on that call echoed in her ears...

He frowned and asked, "What does Madam want with me? I don't seem to know anyone else in the Xiao family except for Xiao Zhan."

Wang Mang remained polite and said, "Miss Qin, Madam is waiting for you at the alley entrance. She sent me to invite you to see her because she was worried about too many people gossiping here."

Wang Mang's statement contains two meanings;

First, the lady originally intended to come here to find you herself.

Secondly, considering that there are many people and a lot of chatter in a local restaurant, it would be bad if someone said something they shouldn't have and others overheard.

Qin Huanhuan isn't stupid; how could she not understand the implied meaning?

At this moment, Hua Ying whispered in Qin Huanhuan's ear, "Huanhuan, it seems that your future mother-in-law is up to no good."

Qin Huanhuan replied softly, "So what?"

Then he said to Wang Mang, "Xiao Zhan told me before he left that I shouldn't pay any attention to anyone from the Xiao family who tries to contact me before he returns. Captain Wang, are you saying I'm going to see Madam?"

"Should we not go see the lady?"

Qin Huanhuan cleverly shifted the question to Wang Mang.

It wasn't that Qin Huanhuan was afraid to see Lin Wanrong, but rather that Xiao Zhan had considered the possibility that his mother might come looking for Qin Huanhuan before he left. So he told Qin Huanhuan that if any members of the Xiao family came looking for her before he returned, she would not see them and would wait until he came back to discuss anything.

This shows that Xiao Zhan had already figured out Lin Wanrong's little scheme all along...

Wang Mang was merely following Lin Wanrong's instructions; as a bodyguard, he had no experience dealing with matters between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Furthermore, Wang Mang knew that Qin Huanhuan was the apple of his young master's eye, so how could he dare to offend her?

But the things that Madam asked me to do must also be done.

For a while,

Wang Mang stood there, unsure of what to do...

"Boss, come here for a moment."

Just then, a customer called out, and Boss Qin quickly replied, "Coming!"

Then he said to Qin Huanhuan, "You two chat, I'll go and attend to the guests. Let me know if you need anything."

As he left, Boss Qin gave Qin Huanhuan a long, deep look…

At this moment, Wang Mang, covered in sweat and looking distressed, weakly said, "This, this... Miss Qin, I'm just a bodyguard, please don't make things difficult for me, okay?"

Zhang Jie and Wu Lei didn't know what to do either.

Before leaving, Xiao Zhan specifically instructed the two that if Qin Huanhuan lost even a single hair, he would hold them responsible!

Qin Huanhuan felt a pang of sympathy seeing Wang Mang's pitiful state, after all, they were just trying to make a living.

So he sighed and said, "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you. Take me to see Madam."

What's meant to happen will happen. Even if you manage to avoid it on the first day, there's always the fifteenth. Besides, Qin Huanhuan isn't the type to back down from trouble. She believes she's done nothing wrong, so why should she be afraid of Lin Wanrong?

When Wang Mang saw that Qin Huanhuan had agreed to see the madam, he was immediately delighted and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Miss Qin. Miss Qin is kind-hearted; no wonder my young master likes her so much."

"Miss Qin, this way please!"

Hua Ying grabbed Qin Huanhuan's arm and said worriedly, "Huanhuan, you can't go. It'll only lead to trouble. Anyway, Young Master Xiao told you not to see the Xiao family before he left."

"You have a good reason not to go."

Qin Huanhuan smiled calmly and said, "Hua Ying, don't worry. What's meant to be will be. I can't keep running away from reality, and I can't keep living under Xiao Zhan's wing. I, Qin Huanhuan, am an independent person, not someone else's appendage."

"As the saying goes, when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. I will have to go through this sooner or later."

Hua Ying knew that Qin Huanhuan was kind-hearted and didn't want to cause trouble for Wang Mang and his group...

Wang Mang, Zhang Jie, and Wu Lei were all captivated by Qin Huanhuan's approachable and considerate personality.

The three of them gave Qin Huanhuan a thumbs up without prior arrangement.

Zhang Jie said, "Miss Qin, Wu Lei and I will go with you. We can't control anything else, but we can guarantee that no one will hurt you. This is the task that the instructor gave us before he left."

Zhang Jie said this so that Wang Mang could hear it too.

Miss Qin may go to see the Madam, but she must not harm her.

Otherwise, Wu Lei and I won't agree...

Wang Mang understood Zhang Jie's words and immediately said, "Miss Qin, Madam only wants to see you. As for what it is, I don't know, but I can guarantee that no one will harm you."

Qin Huanhuan nodded and comforted Hua Ying, "Be good, just sit here and wait for me to come back. Don't eat all the good food."

"We're going to have drinks when we get back."

Hua Ying knew that Qin Huanhuan was stubborn and wouldn't change her mind once she made up her mind, so she said, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Qin Huanhuan, accompanied by Wang Mang and protected by Zhang Jie and Wu Lei, arrived at the alley entrance. When she saw Lin Wanrong, she immediately stepped forward politely and said, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Qin Huanhuan. What can I do for you?"

Lin Wanrong looked at Qin Huanhuan expressionlessly and said, "Hello, Miss Qin, we finally meet. I've always been curious about what kind of person Xiao Zhan's sweetheart is. After meeting her today, she's even more ordinary than I imagined..."

"Miss Qin, have you ever heard the saying 'A virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations'? This ancient saying has stood the test of time for thousands of years and remains true today."

Do you consider yourself a virtuous wife?

Lin Wanrong saw Qin Huanhuan unceremoniously throw out two royal flushes...

Clearly, they had made thorough preparations before coming.

"boom!"

Qin Huanhuan felt as if her head had been struck by lightning, buzzing and making her dizzy and lightheaded.

Lin Wanrong noticed that Qin Huanhuan did not answer her immediately.

He added insult to injury, "So how long do you think Xiao Zhan can like you based on your looks and physique?"
