Wang Pu'an didn't get a kiss, so he could only look at Xu Nian with resentment and unhappiness.
"Wang Pu'an, I'm hungry." Xu Nian pretended not to see Wang Pu'an's expression.
"Niannian, this is peach blossom pastry. I saw that the girls in town all like to eat it, so I bought it for you. You eat this first, and I'll go cook now." Wang Puan put a package of oil paper in Xu Nian's hand and strode towards the kitchen.
With no one to disturb her, Xu Nian immediately called for Yuan Bao.
"Host, how are things going with the original female lead?" Yuanbao asked anxiously.
"I've gained her initial trust, but you still haven't told me how to send her back!" Xu Nian thought that sending someone through time and space, even if it was just a soul, would be quite difficult.
"Host, do we have to wait for the spacetime rift to open before we can send her back? The latest time rift I see here is three years from now." Yuanbao's words poured cold water on Xu Nian's hopes.
"In other words, Mu Qingqing cannot have any accidents in these three years, and I also have to ensure that she lives peacefully until three years later." Xu Nian sighed with regret. Three years is not a long time, but it is not a short time either. It is truly a agonizing period.
“Host, Mu Qingqing is simple-minded. When you’re bored, having her around is just the right way to keep you company.” Yuanbao’s suggestion was very insightful, and Xu Nian accepted it.
So every day thereafter, Wang Pu'an was burning with rage. He couldn't do anything to Xu Nian, so he would glare at Mu Qingqing instead.
After spending a lot of time with him, Mu Qingqing realized that this person was just a paper tiger. He looked fierce, but he was incredibly obedient in front of Xu Nian.
"Niannian, not bad! You've got the knack for managing your husband." Mu Qingqing teased Xu Nian, who looked embarrassed.
It wasn't that she was good at managing her husband; it was simply that Wang Pu'an was too self-aware, to the point that if she gave him a hard time, she would be considered to be in the wrong.
"Niannian, I can see that he really has you in his heart. Are you really willing to leave?" Mu Qingqing was very worried. Women are emotional and are especially prone to losing their minds for love.
"You have to give up something to gain something." Xu Nian couldn't tell Mu Qingqing that she couldn't leave, so she could only offer this profound and mysterious saying.
“It’s good that you understand, Nian Nian. By the way, what exactly is the method you found?” After so much time had passed, Xu Nian still hadn’t mentioned how to leave, and Mu Qingqing was getting impatient.
"Once the spacetime rift opens, you can go back." Xu Nian left something unsaid; she didn't specify a time.
"Niannian, do spacetime rifts really exist?" Mu Qingqing asked in surprise.
"Of course it exists, otherwise why would you be here?" Xu Nian didn't know how to explain further, since she didn't understand either.
"Niannian, I miss home." Mu Qingqing's sadness came quickly, and Xu Nian skillfully took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
After wiping away her tears and venting her emotions, Mu Qingqing hugged Xu Nian with a happy expression. "Niannian, I'm so glad you're here with me, otherwise what would I have done!"
Wang Pu'an had just returned from the doorway when he looked up and saw his wife being hugged by that little girl again.
Can he tolerate this? Of course not, and he's tolerated this brat for far too long.
He could no longer hold back. He went over and snatched Xu Nian back, his face dark as he said to Mu Qingqing, "Miss Mu, you should go home."
"Damn it, why do you always appear like a ghost every time I get close to Nian Nian?" If this weren't ancient times, Mu Qingqing would have a good reason to suspect that Wang Pu'an had placed a personal surveillance device on Xu Nian.
“Miss Mu, watch your words. I am Nian Nian’s rightful husband.” Wang Pu’an wanted to take out his marriage certificate and show it off, but he was afraid of damaging it, so he didn’t.
"I'm still Nian Nian's best friend! Heaven and earth bear witness." Mu Qingqing didn't care about Wang Pu'an and kissed Xu Nian Bu Xia again in front of him.
Then, amidst Wang Pu'an's murderous glare, he smiled happily.
"Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Let me go." Mu Qingqing was grabbed by the collar by Wang Pu'an and sent out of the courtyard gate, where he slammed the gate shut.
"What a stingy man! What's wrong with me kissing you a little?" Mu Qingqing muttered, kicking a pebble at her feet, her disappointment visibly evident.
Looking at the tightly closed courtyard gate, I could only sigh and go home.
In the courtyard.
Xu Nian shook her head at Wang Pu'an and said, "Why are you arguing with a child like her?"
“Niannian, because of her, you haven’t spoken to me for days. She even kissed you. If this continues, are you going to choose her over me?” Wang Pu’an also felt wronged.
He had insisted on keeping Xu Nian by his side, and now that Li Hao was no longer there to take her away from him, another little girl had appeared.
Most importantly, Xu Nian was far too close to that girl, which made him extremely jealous.
"Stop it." Xu Nian felt a pain in her heart; these two were acting like children fighting over a man.
"Niannian, how was your rest?" Wang Puan felt he had to do something.
"It's alright." Xu Nian has indeed been sleeping well these past few days.
"Niannian, I bought you a comic book. Shall we go back to our room and read it?" Wang Puan hugged Xu Nian's waist and whispered in her ear.
"Wang Pu'an, I have something to discuss with Mu Qingqing, so I won't read the book." Xu Nian said with an awkward smile, trying to leave Wang Pu'an's embrace.
"Niannian, you can't go to her. You must read the book." Wang Pu'an picked Xu Nian up and rushed into the room.
"Wang Pu'an, let me go." Xu Nian's words were swallowed by Wang Pu'an, who took out the comic book and made Xu Nian read it with him as much as she wanted.
"Niannian, am I still the best?" Wang Puan asked, kissing Xu Nian's cheek.
"Get out." Xu Nian was now weak and powerless; she wanted to slap Wang Pu'an across the face even more.
"Niannian, don't be angry. I'll try my best to learn if you're not satisfied." Wang Puan's words almost made Xu Nian choke with anger.
"Niannian, don't get too close to that Mu Qingqing, I don't like her."
"What did she do to you? Just because you don't like her doesn't mean I can't talk to her."
"I don't care. If she kisses you again next time, I'll go buy you a few more comic books to read."
A threat, absolutely a threat, the most blatant kind of threat.
“Wang Pu’an, she’s just a child.” Xu Nian tried to reason with her, but Wang Pu’an didn’t want to listen at all.
He lowered his head and covered Xu Nian's mouth with his hand, turning the comic book to the first page. "Niannian, shall we read it again?"
"I don't want to." Xu Nian's resistance was useless; Wang Pu'an simply wouldn't listen to her on this matter.
“Niannian, you probably haven’t noticed, but the way Mu Qingqing looks at you is starting to resemble the way I look at you more and more.” Wang Pu’an’s words stunned Xu Nian.
"Wang Pu'an, what nonsense are you spouting?" Xu Nian felt that Wang Pu'an just didn't want her to pay attention to Mu Qingqing and was deliberately trying to smear her.
"Niannian, you really have no idea how charming you are," Wang Puan chuckled.
“Niannian, actually, the first time I saw you, I wanted to take you home and hide you away. I wanted to do a lot of unfriendly things to you every day, but I was afraid of scaring you, so I kept holding back.”
"Niannian, you are so lovable." Wang Puan's exclamation made Xu Nian's scalp tingle.
