Bai Ge relied on his shamelessness and thick skin to get on Qingdai's carriage.

But after getting on the carriage, he became depressed again.

Because he found that no matter what he said, the other party would only give a few perfunctory answers.

"Um."

"Yes."

"The commander is right."

“…”

Qingdai's perfunctory attitude had reached a point where even someone like him who was not good at socializing could hear it.

Bai Ge clenched his fingertips so tightly that they turned white.

"...Miss Victor is worried about Solan?"

Qing Dai just wanted to quickly deal with this evil spirit and then go home. Upon hearing this, she immediately nodded: "Yes, Commander, everything you said is right."

Bai Ge pursed his lips, and the originally dark color of his lips seemed to fade away in an instant.

"He's Solan Lennon, a member of the Imperial family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He's usually surrounded by people who love and care about him... Miss Victoria, there's no need to worry too much..."

Qing Dai continued perfunctorily: "Yes, I understand, Commander. We are just ordinary friends."

Although her tone was perfunctory, there was a hint of worry between her eyebrows.

In Bai Ge's eyes, he only felt that his throat was more blocked. Some unknown emotion fermented rapidly, blocking him so much that he couldn't say a word.

After only knowing each other for a few days, she felt closer to Solan than to herself.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will marry a wife who can help him consolidate his imperial power... It's best for you to keep your distance from him..."

Qingdai's perfunctory look finally disappeared a little. Her eyes were hard to describe. She looked at Bai Ge as if she was looking at some kind of extreme double standard.

No way?

Is this guy trying to do the feudal patriarchal arranged marriage thing?

It's really unlucky for Solan to be his student...

"Won't Commander also want to marry a wife who can help consolidate his military power in the future...?"

This guy must have forgotten that the girl he likes is also a powerless Beta maid.

Bai Ge's heart skipped a beat. He knew that he had been too angry and said something wrong. He wanted to make amends immediately:

"I can make my own choices...and choose who I want to choose."

Qingdai thought, it is true.

Bai Ge and Wen Di have already firmly chosen each other, so what else is there to say?

Qingdai rolled her eyes in her heart, but she had to put on a smile:

"The commander has the right to do so, of course."

“…”

"I'm here, thank you, Commander..."

Qingdai got out of the car swiftly and left without looking back.

“…”

“…”

Why does it feel like her expression became even uglier after she finished speaking?

Bai Ge's throat was blocked and his eyes were swollen. He had never felt that speaking or doing anything was as difficult as it was today.

Looking at Qingdai's back as she left without hesitation, his eyes became complicated and painful.

An Lin was very nervous tonight. He saw with his own eyes the commander and Miss Victor getting into the same carriage.

He also saw the commander coming back with a gloomy face.

One look at the commander's face. What doesn't he understand?

Bai Ge sat in the study all night without reviewing any official business. He just stared blankly into space, not knowing what he was thinking.

An Lin was almost dying of anxiety.

Although he didn't know why things had turned out like this between the two of them, something must have happened between the time Miss Victor took the initiative to come to the Commander's Mansion and the time she left.

He saw it all and was anxious, so he repeatedly hinted at the commander in the hope that he would remember something.

When An Lin was in dire straits, Bai Ge had thought about everything that had happened between him and Qing Dai from beginning to end.

He even thought about just confessing to her... no matter how the accident happened.

But sometimes, I really don’t know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident…

****

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince confined himself to the infirmary and stayed there for seven or eight days. When his mother learned about this, she was very surprised.

After Solan recovered, his mother came to ask him what he thought. Solan told his mother everything he thought without reservation.

The mother and son chatted until late at night before the queen left. When she left, she also deliberately noticed that all the flowers in her son's palace had been replaced with bright red roses. The rose in the vase was gorgeous and particularly attractive.

Three days later, the upper class circles received invitations at the same time. This time, it was a banquet held in the name of the queen, inviting all the socialites and young talents to attend, covering the forces of imperial power, political power and military power.

Such a dinner party was a good opportunity for the President of the Empire to enhance the relationship between various factions, so he was happy to see it happen and extended an invitation to the First Commander of the Empire, whom he most favored.

The banquet hall was crowded. Qingdai was wearing a blue dress with stars scattered on it and a pair of misty gray high heels. Sitting among a group of socialites, she looked as noble and elegant as a black swan, and was particularly conspicuous.

After she sat in her seat for a while, there was a commotion at the entrance.

Not only did Bai Ge come today, but he also changed out of his usual military uniform and put on a high-end hand-tailored burgundy suit with a black shirt underneath. He was very low-key but showed an extraordinary demeanor.

He was half a step behind the President of the Empire, and behind him was Solan, who had just recovered his health. However, the clear order of these three people's movements did not allow the President to overwhelm Bai Ge's momentum.
