Rich and calm divine beast gong X truly poor, gentle, virtuous wife shou (mistake!)
Qin Nan: "Boss, why are you hanging white cloth for the opening?"
Boss: "Oh, I forgot to ...
Qin Nan woke up a little late the next day, having stayed up half the night without sleeping, so she couldn't get up at all in the morning. Fortunately, Pi Yuan and Chi Wei had learned to cook some simple dishes, so breakfast was no problem.
Xuan Yu covered Teng Xue, who was still half asleep, with a blanket, tidied up the sofa, and took the clothes from the washing machine to the yard to dry.
Bai Hao got up, checked on Qin Nan who was still sleeping, tucked him in, and went downstairs. The kids were busy running around, while Bai Hao leisurely sat on the sofa watching TV.
When Qin Nan woke up and went downstairs, she saw Bai Hao watching TV. None of the four children were there. Xuan Yu and Teng Xue were probably on the third floor. Xuan Yu had made a lot of small things here and there, and Teng Xue had made several dresses for herself to wear in the summer.
Chi Wei guessed that Pi Yuan was in the front yard, since only Bai Hao was downstairs and the two kids didn't dare to stay any longer.
Qin Nan heated up the food. After the meal, Qin Nan prepared some pastries and dried fruits to make desserts. She had bought hawthorn and yam beans beforehand, so she could make some candied hawthorn skewers.
Life seemed to be returning to normal, and apart from some changes in her relationship with Bai Hao, everything else was as usual.
Around noon, Qin Nan suddenly received a call from Murong Xue, who said that there were extra tickets for an art exhibition and she wanted to invite Qin Nan and Bai Hao to attend.
Qin Nan initially wanted to object, but after thinking about it, she asked Bai Hao. Bai Hao was silent for a moment, but surprisingly agreed to go. Qin Nan was surprised, but she agreed to Murong Xue's request and said she would pick them up the next morning.
Qin Nan hung up the phone and sat down next to Bai Hao. "You don't seem to like crowds and social engagements, do you? You don't have to go."
Bai Hao turned his head and smiled, "Business is here, why not go?"
Qin Nan: "Guests? At the art exhibition?"
Bai Hao: "Not a guest, but an old friend."
Qin Nan nodded, unsure what to say. Bai Hao's old friend was most likely a mythical beast.
Bai Hao: "His name is He Yan."
Qin Nan was taken aback. Change? What do you mean, change?
Bai Hao looked at Qin Nan, who was completely bewildered, took his phone, typed in "?", and Qin Nan took it and searched it online.
Four hundred li further east is Mount Xun. Its sunny side is rich in gold, and its shady side is rich in jade. There is a beast there, which looks like a sheep but has no mouth. It cannot be killed. Its name is ?
It looks a lot like a sheep, but it has no mouth and will not die even if it doesn't eat or drink.
Qin Nan thought for a moment, could this He Yan be an old man with a goatee? But looking at Bai Hao, he shouldn't be old either, so he's a middle-aged man with a goatee?
For some reason, it didn't look good no matter how you looked at it, but Qin Nan didn't show it, after all, it wouldn't be very respectful.
In the afternoon, Qin Nan received some photos of the exhibition hall from Murong Xue via WeChat. She heard that many celebrities and dignitaries would be going there. Qin Nan felt inexplicably pressured. She knew she would never be in such a place, so she had no experience.
Murong Xue probably anticipated that Qin Nan might not be used to it, so she mentioned some precautions in advance, and one particularly important point was that he had to wear formal attire!
Seeing this, Qin Nan looked up at Bai Hao, who was wearing a SpongeBob SquarePants print T-shirt, and herself, who was wearing a hoodie. She immediately dragged Bai Hao upstairs and started picking out clothes.
Seeing that Qin Nan was in high spirits, Bai Hao let him be. If it were Bai Hao himself, he would have just grabbed whatever was available to wear. After all, he was handsome and could wear anything.
She changed into several outfits, and Qin Nan was incredibly jealous. Her face, her figure, her temperament—she wore each suit with a different feel, but the only thing they had in common was her captivating charm.
Bai Hao exudes masculine hormones with every move he makes, coupled with his sleepy appearance and aloof demeanor. If he were out in the world, he would definitely attract a crowd of onlookers and suitors.
Qin Nan silently suppressed her excitement, considering which outfit to choose. However, when Bai Hao changed into a white suit, Qin Nan couldn't contain her excitement. All of Bai Hao's other suits were black or dark blue, but this one was white.
Bai Hao originally didn't want to try this outfit because he had never worn white before and always wore black. So Qin Nan was naturally more eager to see it. In order to achieve his goal, Qin Nan even got a big bite taken out of her mouth, but it was worth it!
Wearing a white shirt, a plain tie, and a white suit, Bai Hao adjusted his tie, finding it a little tight. Qin Nan couldn't help but swallow hard. His first reaction upon seeing Bai Hao was that he was incredibly handsome. If he weren't so aloof, he certainly wouldn't be alone, as he certainly wouldn't lack suitors.
Bai Hao caught a glimpse of Qin Nan staring at him with wide eyes, and smiled gently at her with slightly curved eyebrows.
Qin Nan stared blankly, holding her breath. Bai Hao took the opportunity to grope her again until Qin Nan's face turned red and she couldn't breathe before he let go.
Although Qin Nan wasn't someone who cared about looks, she was truly powerless against someone so angelic, especially since he was deliberately acting seductive. Qin Nan suspected that Bai Hao wasn't Bai Ze, but perhaps a nine-tailed fox.
Finally, Qin Nan chose a simple navy blue suit for Bai Hao. Bai Hao said he had never worn white, which meant that only Qin Nan had ever seen it, so no one else would see it.
As for Qin Nan himself, Bai Hao chose a beige suit for him, the warm color making Qin Nan appear more approachable.
Qin Nan looked in the mirror and adjusted his cuffs. Bai Hao sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at Qin Nan. Qin Nan himself didn't realize that he was also quite handsome, just a different type from Bai Hao.
Bai Hao was the aloof and eccentric type, while Qin Nan was the kind and gentle type. She had slightly thick eyebrows, large eyes that curved as if she were smiling, and very fair skin. Her fingers were slender, but due to long hours of labor, they inevitably had calluses and some scars. Although they had scabbed over, there were still faint marks. Bai Hao was thinking of going back to Qin Nan when he had time and bringing her some things.
While Bai Hao was pondering, Qin Nan changed her clothes and hung them up. Before she could even put on a shirt, Bai Hao wrapped his arm around her waist. Qin Nan was momentarily distracted, and Bai Hao remained silent the whole time. Qin Nan tried on several outfits and had already forgotten that Bai Hao was still there.
Bai Hao felt Qin Nan's body suddenly stiffen. A glint flashed in his eyes. He gently stroked Qin Nan's skin with his fingertips, then released Qin Nan, turned around, and left the room.
When Bai Hao left, Qin Nan instantly breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she also felt a little disappointed.
Qin Nan slapped her forehead repeatedly. Why was she so disappointed?! Disappointed about what? Did she still long for Bai Hao to continue?!
Qin Nan shook her head, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.
Bai Hao had really started to restrain himself since last night. Apart from kissing and touching Qin Nan's face with her tacit consent, he would always stop halfway through doing other things, which made Qin Nan feel very restless.
During dinner, Qin Nan told the four children that she was going to an art exhibition. Chi Wei and Pi Yuan expressed their desire to go with her, so Qin Nan had to call Murong Xue to ask if she could bring the two children.
Qin Nan asked the question with embarrassment, but Murong Xue was very excited. Last time, she heard her cousin say that Qin Nan and Bai Hao had a child, and that the child was very cute. She never expected to meet him this time, so she readily agreed. She even took care of the issue of the two children not having little suits.
