Chapter 109 Playing Hard to Get

Shen Wan thought about it and shook her head: “I don’t like to force others.”

"I can see that the old master is not willing to do so, so there is no point in forcing him to recognize her as a relative."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

Are you sure? This is the famous Master Liu!

There were no telling how many people in the court wanted to establish a relationship with him, but this clown girl simply rejected them all!

Wang Qi was also mixed in the crowd, and he was so anxious that he kept winking at people.

As long as she has such a strong adoptive father, in the future in Wei Dynasty, no one will dare to say a word against her even if she walks sideways or even diagonally!

Who cares whether he is willing or not, as long as he agrees to admit it, isn’t that enough?

After a brief moment of surprise, Master Liu couldn't help but look at the clown girl a few more times.

"You are so lucky!" He stroked his snow-white beard and turned to look at Xie Mubai. "It's really unfair for such a good girl to fall into your hands!"

Although this was unpleasant to hear, the villain was not angry.

He also knew that he was blessed to have met her in this life.

"Then forget it." Xie Mubai nodded slightly, looking at the stubborn clown girl with a doting look.

Since she didn't want to, he naturally wouldn't force her.

So what if I don’t have this backer?

When she gets back on track in the future, I will be her most powerful supporter.

"Who said forget it?" Taifu Liu walked forward with a smile, looking at Shen Wan with a gentle gaze, "If I don't want such a good daughter, then I am really old and confused."

"From today on, you are my adopted daughter."

"If anyone dares to bully my daughter in the future, I will break his legs!"

At this time, Zhao suddenly walked out of the crowd.

"Old Master, this doesn't seem right." She bowed and smiled calmly, "My sister-in-law is the daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang, and the Marquis is your student. Doesn't this create a generational gap?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan nodded desperately.

If I don't have such a blessing, then I definitely can't let it fall on this Joker girl, otherwise that Joker girl will ride on my head and act tyrannically every day in the future!

Seeing that Zhao dared to cause trouble, Wang Qi immediately sneered: "What are you afraid of? The Marquis of Xiangyang has already severed his engagement with Shen Wan. Don't you know this?"

"Zhao, I don't know what you are afraid of."

"Will her good life in the future prevent you from remarrying?"

When it comes to viciousness, I'm afraid no one can compare to Wang Qi's mouth.

Zhao was so angry that her face turned pale, but she was speechless.

"This is a good match." The old master nodded and said with a smile, "This way, I can get a good daughter for free."

Without saying anything, he stepped forward and grabbed Shen Wan's sleeve: "Let's go home with our adoptive father. We won't stay in this broken inn."

If he had been forced by Xie Mubai to acknowledge this adopted daughter before, now the old tutor was willing to do so.

This girl really suits his temperament.

I just didn't expect that a scumbag like Marquis of Xiangyang could give birth to such an outstanding daughter.

Shen Wan was startled by this sudden action and quickly said, "This is inappropriate. I am a fugitive."

Hearing the word "exile", Taifu Liu couldn't help but frown.

"My daughter wants to come home and live here. Who dares to say anything?" He said with a sullen face and a deep voice that was intimidating without even getting angry. "I'll write a letter to your chief officer later to extend this trip by two weeks."

"If the higher-ups blame me, I'll take full responsibility!"

Such a domineering way of protecting his daughter made Shen Wan’s heart warm.

After living two lives, as an orphan, this was the first time she knew what fatherly love was.

"What about my man?" She turned around and looked at Xie Mubai with some uneasiness.

Seeing that she was so concerned about the little fox, Master Liu's face looked a little unhappy.

"As expected, my daughter is always a traitor." He smiled coldly, "Okay, take him too!"

After hearing this, Shen Wan's hanging heart was finally put down.

Soon, the group arrived at Liu's Mansion.

Tutor Liu was an honest man who regarded money as dirt.

Even though he was the emperor's teacher, his residence was still very simple, without any luxury.

Although the Liu Mansion is not big, it still has several small courtyards.

"Your Highness, please live here." When passing by a remote courtyard, Tutor Liu stopped.

Although this yard is remote, it is very clean.

Xie Mubai nodded, turned to Shen Wan and said, "Then let's live here."

"That won't do!" Imperial Tutor Liu shook his head and sneered at him. "Before, I didn't care how you lived here, but now Wan'er is my adopted daughter. I have the final say on this matter."

"The one you are engaged to is Chen Yan, so you and Wan'er are not yet husband and wife."

"Don't have any thoughts before you marry her legitimately!"

Xie Mubai's face darkened.

If he had known this, he would not have found any support for this little woman.

This person is not a support at all, he is clearly here to make me feel upset!

"Then I'll propose marriage now." He said decisively without even thinking.

The old tutor finally found an opportunity to vent his hatred, so how could he easily agree?

No one knew that in the room of the inn, he, who had been proud all his life, was scolded by a young boy and felt ashamed.

"I don't agree!" he flatly refused. "You want to marry my precious daughter like this without any matchmaker or engagement?"

"Xie Mubai, listen to me!"

"When I marry my daughter, it will be a grand wedding with a grand ceremony!"

After hearing this, Xie Mubai fell silent.

“Godfather, don’t be like this.” Seeing the villain’s bad face, Shen Wan kept pulling his sleeves, “I don’t care about these at all.”

"No, I care!" Xie Mubai suddenly spoke up, looking up at her, "Master is right, I can't let you down."

He loves her, so naturally he has to give her the best.

She must have what other women have.

She also wants to have what other women don't have.

After hearing this, the old master nodded with satisfaction: "This is what a man should be like."

"Godfather!" Shen Wan tugged at his sleeve and said in a low voice, "But his legs are inconvenient, so I have always been by his side to take care of him."

"If I suddenly let him live alone, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for him."

This served as a wake-up call to the old tutor.

He suddenly asked, "Did that little fox bully you when you lived together?"

"That's not the case at all!" Shen Wan blushed and shook her head. "The prince is a rare gentleman. How could he do such a thing?"

"Besides, he's still injured."

Upon hearing about the injury, the old master suddenly remembered a very serious problem.

"Are you sick?" He looked gloomily at Xie Mubai.

How could it be possible that nothing happened between a man and a woman living together in the same room for so long? Unless...

Upon hearing this, Xie Mubai's face turned red with anger.

Shen Wan blushed, pushed Master Liu out, and shouted angrily: "You are such a jerk! How dare you say anything out loud!"

"I'm doing this for your own good!" The old master, who was yelled at, was not angry at all. Instead, he explained seriously, "What if he has a hidden illness?"

“Honestly, I don’t like him.”

"If you want, godfather can find you someone a thousand times better than him!"

After hearing this, Shen Wan couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless.

"Is there still a man like that in this world?" she asked with a wry smile. "Can you find one who is even slightly better, let alone a thousand times better?"

Taifu Liu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Perhaps there is someone you will be satisfied with."

Yes, perhaps that person is the only one in the world who can compete with this little fox.

"Anyway, except for Xie Mubai, I don't like any other man." Seeing that he was about to get serious, Shen Wan was frightened and pushed him forward. "Okay, you'd better take me to see my room quickly. You can't let me stand outside all the time."

Seeing that this clown girl was so stubborn, Master Liu did not force her anymore.

He is still very devoted to this adopted daughter.

He specially arranged her in the most beautiful courtyard in the mansion, which was, of course, also the farthest away from Xie Mubai.

There were several maids and old women serving, and a large number of clothes and jewelry were prepared.

After bathing and changing clothes, Shen Wan came out to formally pay her respects to the old tutor.

Looking at the refreshed girl in front of him, Master Liu was extremely satisfied.

"Some of these things may not sound nice, but I still want to tell you." He thought for a moment and said earnestly,

"Wan'er, you're a girl, you should be more reserved. Don't be too proactive in some things, otherwise you'll be taken advantage of by Xie Mubai."

"If you want to be with him for a long time, it's best to play hard to get."

"Otherwise, if he gets tired of you one day, what will you do then?"

After living two lives, this is Shen Wan’s first time in love.

I have to say that what the old tutor said makes some sense.

But how can we play hard to get?

She won't.

Seeing that she had taken his words to heart, Master Liu nodded with satisfaction and said, "You can go see him tomorrow. Let's let him cool down tonight."

"A short separation is better than a new marriage. The ancient saying is true."
