"Were you scared?" Qian Zhi reached out and touched Wan Ge's head.

He just realized that Wan Ge really dislikes him, and that's good.

However, Qianzhi still hoped that Wange wouldn't care about him, whether she liked him or hated him, it would be best if she didn't care.

After all, there are many novel plots where the male and female protagonists initially hate each other, but eventually fall in love while fighting each other.

Although he felt that his wife wouldn't be that kind of person, and that no one had ever hurt her, and that she would still feel forgiving, he couldn't guarantee that... something unexpected might happen.

He didn't know why, but he inexplicably felt uneasy, and he only acted this way around Chu Xi.

So ever since Qianzhi first learned about it, he has felt very uncomfortable.

"I'm fine. I don't know him," Wange explained instinctively.

"Yes, I know," Qian Zhi replied softly. He knew everything he knew.

…

Without Chu Xi, the banquet quickly returned to normal, except that many more women took the initiative to approach Wan Ge and strike up a conversation.

Some made plans to go shopping together, while others added each other as friends to chat.

Wan Ge knew why they were acting this way, because after that incident, everyone knew that she was Qian Zhi's wife.

Whether they hadn't spoken to her at the wedding or had only met her today, they all took the initiative to approach her and strike up a conversation.

They didn't care about Wan Ge's feelings at all; they just wanted to get close to her so they could meet Qian Zhi through his connections and get his care or help.

Qiao Xiangyan naturally noticed this as well, and she also realized that Wan Ge didn't really like it. She's always been like this; she doesn't particularly enjoy socializing.

If we hadn't grown up together and gone to school together, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to become her best friend.

Perhaps sensing that Wan Ge was getting annoyed, Qiao Xiangyan spoke up, offering a few perfunctory words to dismiss everyone.

…

Wan Ge went to the restroom and overheard people discussing this matter.

On the one hand, she stole the show at the banquet, attracting a lot of attention. On the other hand, her status as Mrs. Qianzhi made many people both envious and jealous.

"If my dad hadn't told me to spend more time with her, I wouldn't have bothered with her at all. She has nothing but a pretty face; she's just a vase. If it weren't for Qian Zhi, who would even look at her?"

"Exactly, it's just a business marriage. She's really acting like she's Mrs. Qian. With her personality, Qian Zhi might divorce her anytime soon."

"Don't worry, we're doing just fine. Even if we get divorced, it won't be your turn." Wan Ge walked out confidently, glancing at the two whose expressions changed instantly.

“Um… Madam Qian… we… we didn’t mean that.”

The people who were just chatting suddenly panicked.

Wan Ge washed her hands, checked herself, and left without even glancing at them.

As I stepped outside, Qian Zhi was standing not far away.

In fact, Wan Ge didn't know if he had heard what those people were saying, but when she appeared, the other person took the initiative to extend his hand. Wan Ge subconsciously shook his hand and then left with him back to the banquet.

Actually, apart from chatting with a few partners during that time, Qianzhi was always by her side. Those people only approached her to talk when Qianzhi wasn't around.
