“Of course it’s our young lady,” Qin Wenjun replied. “I’ve already sworn a solemn oath that I will serve her for the rest of my life.”

Bai Yanzhang: "..."

To his utter surprise, the biggest obstacle on his road to marriage was not the betrothal gifts or his mother-in-law, but the master of the woman he loved.

He knew all too well the kindness Xiao Qingyin had shown Qin Wenjun, and seeing her resolute expression, he changed the subject.

"In that case, let's talk about the marriage later. As for Tianci, should you talk to him or should I?"

Qin Wenjun didn't want to choose either of them.

“I just told him his father was a scholar named Chen, and he immediately changed his tune? There’s no need for that. Let’s just leave it as it is.”

Bai Yanzhang said expressionlessly, "Why would my son acknowledge a complete stranger as his father?"

Qin Wenjun: "..."

She knew it!

This person came specifically for the child!

Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, she replied, "Let me explain."

Otherwise, we wouldn't know what nonsense this man was spouting.

"good."

Bai Yanzhang escorted her back to the Marquis's residence, then rode away on horseback.

Qin Wenjun didn't know how to bring it up with Tianci. With her heart heavy with worries, she was sullen all day.

Upon seeing this, Tianci touched her forehead to check if she had a fever and then offered words of comfort and concern.

Qin Wenjun comforted her, saying, "Mother is not sick, she just has something on her mind."

Tianci said with a serious expression, "Mother, you should talk about what's on your mind. Don't keep it bottled up inside, or you'll get sick."

Qin Wenjun chuckled: "Where did you learn that from?"

"That's what the gentleman said."

Qin Wenjun's heart stirred, and she asked him, "If, and I mean if, Mr. Bai were your father, would you be happy?"
