Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 311: He’s a Rather Assertive Man, and She’s Shy

Qin Wenrou thought to herself, "Perhaps what Mommy said, that Mr. Nalan’s sister, is not really his biological sister, but rather, as society says, an ’emotional sister!’"

Just like Mrs. Nalan always calls her husband "brother," maybe Mr. Nalan’s "sister" is actually his lover!

Mom must know something, which is why she said marrying Qin Xin to him isn’t a good thing.

Since Mr. Nalan already has a woman, marrying Qin Xin to him would make her just a nominal wife, appearing glamorous but actually unloved.

Qin Wenrou held onto this secret and could no longer sit still at the banquet.

She desperately wanted to find Lan Yingjun to gossip a bit about whether Mr. Nalan already has a woman on the outside, intending to use that woman to fiercely provoke Qin Xin.

Why should all the precious gifts and blessings of the world belong to Qin Xin?

She simply disliked seeing Qin Xin happy!

＝＝

The engagement party continued amid a joyful atmosphere.

Nalan Ye Jue was taking Qin Xin around to toast the elders, but each time, he only allowed her to clink glasses and not drink the wine.

Instead, he took her glass and drank it himself!

"Drinking affects a girl’s skin and ovarian function." His explanation made Qin Xin blush!

But he had a serious expression: "You study medicine, you understand."

Qin Xin: "..."

A little wine affects the ovaries???

A moderate amount of red wine is even good for the complexion.

However, facing the man’s meaningful gaze, she had no way to argue with him about the word "ovaries"!

Qin Xin discovered that the way the man seriously told jokes really left one helpless.

Also, although he was gentlemanly, he was quite assertive.

He said no one was allowed to make her drink, and indeed, no one dared to say a single word of gossip by the end of the event.

Actually... she really wanted to have a glass, this aged wine, it smelled pretty good.

The man didn’t allow her to drink and worried about her getting tired.

It was only a bit past nine when he asked if she wanted to go home and rest.

Qin Xin was chatting with Mrs. Nalan, whose humor made even someone as cool as her feel warm, and she hadn’t had enough yet.

But the man asked her gently every few minutes.

After three or four times, she finally cluelessly realized that maybe the man rushing her home was because he wanted her to... fulfill the final engagement ceremony... go home and try marriage?!

According to Imperial customs, as long as an engagement ceremony is held, the law recognizes the relationship of the engaged couple, allowing for a trial marriage—meaning cohabitation.

Of course, they can also legally engage in X activities. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Qin Xin suddenly became nervous.

No, no, it was agreed that the marriage was just to fulfill the elders’ arrangement, it was agreed no kids, no fooling around.

Qin Xin suddenly didn’t want to leave anymore.

She wished the banquet would last forever.

But at this moment, not only did the man urge her to leave, even her future mother-in-law began to care about her rest: "Yes, yes, Xin’er, go with him, rest early, rest early."

She even added specifically: "We are a particularly civilized family, we won’t make a fuss in the bridal chamber, you can do as you please."

Qin Xin: "...??"

Nalan Ye Jue curled his lips: "Don’t worry, we’ll do what we should."

Qin Xin: "...!!"

Nalan Ye Jue held her small hand and left the banquet hall even before the banquet ended.

When they were in the elevator.

He saw the little woman clutching her other hand, looking on guard.

He couldn’t help but chuckle softly: "When I said going home to rest, I meant... just resting. Don’t worry."

"Who’s worried!"

Qin Xin, like a little wild cat with its fur standing on end, said with a blushing face.
