Just as everyone was about to go in, they were stopped by the bodyguards at the door.
"Except for the eldest young master, everyone else is required to show relevant documents before entering the manor." The bodyguard said in a businesslike manner.
The four members of Team White looked at each other.
The four of them were the eldest young master's personal bodyguards. Almost everyone in the White family knew them, and they had almost no obstruction in the manor. This was the first time they were stopped.
"Don't you know us? You must know our boss, Mr. Cook, right? He also needs to show his ID?" Yuri asked.
The bodyguard at the door glanced at Cook and replied, "Yes."
Yuri: ...
Cook didn't care much and waved his hand: "It's okay, I always carry my ID with me."
Helen, however, showed a strange look on her face: "Why do these bodyguards at the door seem so unfamiliar to me? Have they been replaced?"
"Maybe." Yuri curled his lips.
After checking the IDs of the others, the bodyguard came to Shen Xingwan and said, "Miss, please show your ID before you can enter the manor."
Shen Xingwan was about to speak when Bai Yuchu interrupted her: "She is mine, I want to take her in."
However, he was stopped by the bodyguard in a tough attitude.
"I'm sorry, young master. This is the order of the head of the family. No one without a certificate is allowed to enter."
Bai Yuchu narrowed his eyes: "What if I insist on taking her in?"
The bodyguard lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Master. We can only activate the emergency system."
Everyone was terrified when they heard this, because the emergency system would only be activated when outsiders invaded.
Once activated, anyone marked as a dangerous person will be hunted down by all the Sky Eye systems of the White family until their vital signs disappear.
Bai Yuchu naturally knew the seriousness of the situation and frowned.
"Go and inform the head of the family that I have brought back a distinguished guest. If they don't allow the distinguished guest in, I won't go in either."
"Master, you will anger the head of the family if you say that!"
"Why don't you go in first and let Miss Shen wait here for a while. After explaining the situation to the head of the family, you can take Miss Shen in." Cook immediately stepped forward to stop her.
Bai Yuchu reached out and held Shen Xingwan's hand, saying firmly, "I won't leave the Angora Giant Rabbit here alone. He either agrees to see us, or he doesn't want to see anyone at all."
Cook sighed. The eldest young master was planning to turn against the head of the family because of Miss Shen!
"Convey what I just said to the head of the family. I'll be waiting here." Bai Yuchu repeated to the bodyguard at the door.
The bodyguard glanced at Bai Yuchu and Shen Xingwan and nodded, "Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go and inform the head of the family."
Seeing that the four members of Team White all had worried expressions, Shen Xingwan felt a little guilty.
"Why don't you go in first? I'll wait here alone. It's okay."
If the relationship between father and son is destroyed because of her, that would not be good.
Bai Yuchu held Shen Xingwan's hand tightly and said, "Once I go in, I may not be able to come out. Can you bear it?"
Shen Xingwan understood that Young Master White was using her to threaten his father and trying to bring her in.
Thinking of this, Shen Xingwan felt even more guilty.
The boy clearly knew that he had lied to her, so why was he still so nice to her? How could she repay his kindness in the future?
Shen Xingwan was just feeling worried when he saw the bodyguard who had just gone to report come back.
"Master, I'm sorry for the long wait. The head of the family said that you and Miss Shen should go in. He is waiting for you in the main hall."
This time, not only were the White team members shocked, but even Bai Yuchu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Father, are you sure you're talking about the main hall?"
The bodyguard nodded and repeated, "The master said he would wait for you in the main hall."
Shen Xingwan looked at Helen curiously.
Helen explained in a low voice, "The main hall is the most formal and luxurious reception room in White Manor. It's usually used to entertain distinguished guests or to handle extremely serious matters."
Shen Xingwan was thinking about the significance of Patriarch White's actions when she heard Bai Yuchu's voice.
"Don't be afraid. As long as I am still breathing, I will ensure your safety."
The boy's firm and persistent eyes soothed the uneasiness in Shen Xingwan's heart.
Shen Xingwan smiled and tilted her head: "I'm a hunter, it's not certain who will protect whom."
Bai Yuchu also smiled: "Okay, then I'll leave my life in your hands, Miss Hunter."
The two walked hand in hand towards the main hall.
Once you pass through the necessary corridor, even your bodyguards can't follow you.
In an instant, only the two of them were left on the empty marble road. Under the setting sun, they dragged their long shadows, becoming the only touch of warmth in the entire manor.
Before they entered the main hall, they heard voices coming from inside.
"If the two children are in love, it would be better to arrange their marriage as soon as possible. The wedding will be held according to the highest standards of the White family, and the noble lady will never be wronged." The smiling voice of the head of the White family came from inside.
Bai Yuchu clenched his fists and sneered, "As expected, he comes with bad intentions."
"Angora Giant Rabbit, you'll be standing behind me in a moment. He won't be able to control my life, and he won't be able to touch a hair on my body!"
The corners of Shen Xingwan's lips twitched: "Perhaps, it's not necessary..."
Bai Yuchu said coldly, "You don't understand my father. He may look harmless, but he's actually ruthless and will never give up until he achieves his goal. No one can get away with anything less than him."
As soon as the words fell, two other voices were heard in the main hall.
"Mutual affection? Who told you that these two children are in love? Who gave you the confidence that these two children are in love? You can treat illnesses, you can discuss business, but if you want a marriage, I'll be the first to object!"
"I agree with what my father-in-law said. Since your White family has already announced the marriage with the Chester family, there is absolutely no reason for my daughter to be a third party."
Bai Yuchu was stunned for a moment, then sneered.
"My marriage is just a bargaining chip for him. On the one hand, he's hanging on to the Chester family, and on the other hand, he's trying to get close to other families. He's really greedy."
"Are you planning to sell me out next?" Bai Yuchu's face was full of sarcasm, and his clenched fists made a "click-click" sound.
Shen Xingwan: ...
At this time, the voice of the head of the White family came from the house again.
"Brother, you misunderstood. My White family did announce that we would form a marriage alliance with the Chester family, but the man Miss Chester is going to marry is not my son Yu Chu, but my cousin's son."
"They are two young people who are in love with each other and have been together for a long time. How can I break them up? Don't you agree?"
Seeing Bai Yuchu's brows getting more and more furrowed, Shen Xingwan patted the boy's shoulder with heartache.
"I know it's not a pleasant feeling to be cuckolded by your fiancée, but as the old saying goes, if you want to live a good life, you have to have some green on you, right?"
