"Lord Bai Chen, since I've accepted your gift, I surely won't take it for free. From now on, whenever you need me, just say the word. I'll never hesitate!" Wan Ruo vowed earnestly.
Hearing this, Bai Chen snorted and said, "I need you right now. Come with me quickly!"
"Ah? So soon?" Wan Ruo frowned slightly. Before she could get ready, she was dragged away by Bai Chen.
When they arrived at Bai Chen's residence, Wan Ruo swallowed hard, feeling a bit flustered.
Bai Chen stretched his arms and flexed his muscles. "I've been busy all afternoon. I'm a bit tired!"
"Didn't you say you'd never hesitate when I need you? Humph! ... Come here quickly!" After saying that, Bai Chen lay down on the couch and patted the bed provocatively with his hand.
He hooked his fingers at her and winked!
Oh my god. "Um, I didn't mean that. Did you misunderstand me? ... I still have something to do. I'll just ...?" As Wan Ruo spoke, she took a step back. Before she could finish,
Bai Chen waved his hand casually. With a loud "bang", the door behind Wan Ruo closed tightly, startling her.
She slowly turned around and saw the door was closed. She took two embarrassed steps back and pretended to be calm. "Maybe you misunderstood. I didn't mean what you think!"
Bai Chen looked at her without saying a word, his eyes fixed on her.
Wan Ruo swallowed hard as she met Bai Chen's terrifying gaze. She gritted her teeth and thought, "It's all or nothing!"
She walked straight up to Bai Chen and sat down on the edge of the bed. She closed her eyes, as if waiting for something.
Seeing Wan Ruo's expression, Bai Chen smiled faintly inside and looked at her with great interest.
When Bai Chen didn't move for a long time, Wan Ruo opened one eye and peeked at him.
She saw him looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Bai Chen lifted Wan Ruo's chin and said teasingly, "Don't tell me you thought I was going to do something to you?"
Hearing this, Wan Ruo felt as if she had been over - imagining things. Her face turned red. She shook off Bai Chen's hand awkwardly and said, "No, no! Then what do you want me to do?"
"I want you to massage my shoulders! Don't think too much!" Bai Chen propped himself up on the couch with one hand and flexed his muscles with the other, saying lazily.
"Oh ..." Just as Wan Ruo was about to get up to massage his shoulders, Bai Chen grabbed her.
He pulled her into his arms and said playfully, "However, I seem to want to change my mind now!"
At this moment, the distance between them was only 0.1 millimeters!
"You, let me go!"
Seeing Wan Ruo struggling, Bai Chen found it even more interesting. He hugged Wan Ruo and rolled over, pinning her down.
Looking at Wan Ruo with her eyes tightly closed and looking so nervous, Bai Chen thought, "What should I do? If this goes on, I'll can't help but bully you!"
Bai Chen gently kissed Wan Ruo on the forehead. "Silly girl! Hurry up and massage my shoulders!"
Wan Ruo instantly opened her eyes wide. She got up, pushed Bai Chen away, and obediently massaged his shoulders.
"Is this pressure okay?" Wan Ruo asked politely and gently on the surface.
But in her heart, she thought, "Just wait. I'll massage you to death, pinch you to death. Ahahaha!"
"Well, it's a bit too light!" Bai Chen said enjoyably.
A bit too light, huh? Just what I want! You said so yourself. I'll show you!
Wan Ruo pressed on Bai Chen with all her strength. Bai Chen winced in pain and his face instantly showed a bitter expression.
He didn't expect that although she looked so delicate, her strength was so great. This was blatant revenge!
"Is this pressure okay?" Wan Ruo asked deliberately in a kind tone.
Bai Chen almost spat out in surprise!
"Okay, okay. Stop massaging. I'm going to take a nap. Stay by my side and don't leave! If you're bored, you can practice drawing talismans! I'll check when I wake up!" Bai Chen said to Wan Ruo with a sharp look in his eyes.
Wan Ruo sat beside the couch helplessly, staring fixedly at Bai Chen. Seeing that Bai Chen had his eyes closed, she even made a face at him!
Even with his eyes closed, Bai Chen could feel Wan Ruo's cuteness. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly upwards.
Wan Ruo spread out her palm, and instantly the glowing Secret Transmission of Divine Talismans and Spiritual Spells appeared. She immediately felt delighted and happily started to study and practice drawing talismans.
Feeling Wan Ruo by his side, Bai Chen finally fell asleep soundly.
On the other side, Wei Qingshan and Madam Su had just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw a servant rushing out in a hurry and almost bumped into the Prime Minister's wife.
"Who are you? What are you doing?" Madam Su shouted angrily.
"Please forgive me, madam! I'm guilty!"
"What are you all in such a hurry for? You have no manners!"
"Back to madam, these people were all invited to treat Miss Manman's injuries, but they were all driven out!"
Madam Su frowned tightly and sighed deeply. "I see!"
Wei Qingshan quickly motioned for them to leave quickly. Then she held her mother's arm and continued walking forward.
Seeing this, Madam Su didn't say anything and felt relieved.
Inside the room, Qin Manman was throwing a tantrum like a spoilt young lady. In the past few days, she didn't know how many doctors had been invited. Some couldn't cure her, while others said it might take several years to cure her!
Hearing such results, Qin Manman was impatient. She needed a method that would take effect immediately and make her regain her beauty right away!
As for Qin Jiang, since he moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion and didn't have to worry about food and clothing, as soon as he had a little money, he started to gamble again. He went to the gambling house every now and then and didn't care about Qin Manman's situation at all!
Mrs. Zhang had to comfort Qin Manman's mood and find a treatment method for her on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was so angry with Qin Jiang's daily gambling!
Qin Manman ignored her parents' quarrel. She looked at herself in the mirror and carefully examined the scars on her face. Hatred welled up in her heart!
She decided to wear a veil hat and buy some hair accessories that could cover the scars. She would try to cover them up first and then go and take revenge on that old woman!
While Mrs. Zhang and Qin Jiang were still arguing, she suddenly got up, picked up the veil hat, put it on, and rushed out!
"Hey, Manman, where are you going? Manman?"
Qin Jiang was still arguing non - stop. Mrs. Zhang was so annoyed by him. Every time he lost, he would come back for money!
Just as Mrs. Zhang was about to chase after her, Qin Jiang stopped her. He wouldn't let her go until she gave him the money!
Qin Manman sneaked out of the mansion and wandered around on the street, afraid that others would see her face.
Along the way, she looked around carefully, feeling as if everyone was staring at her!
In fact, no one really cared about her. It was just her own paranoia!
In a blink of an eye, it was evening. The sky was getting dark.
On Wan Ruo's side, she was still concentrating on studying the talismans. It was as if she had found a treasure trove in the book and was enjoying herself.
She suddenly came up with an idea that could not only practice talismans, but also make money and help others!
At this time, Bai Chen gradually woke up. Seeing Wan Ruo practicing talismans so intently by his side, he thought she was extremely cute!
He didn't want to disturb her and quietly admired her from the side.
Bai Chen saw that the table was full of the talismans she had just practiced drawing. To his surprise, the talismans drawn by Wan Ruo were done smoothly, which was completely unlike a novice who had just started learning to draw talismans!
The talismans on the table seemed to come to life. Each talisman emitted a strong spiritual power!
Was it because of the inner elixir in her body? Or did she have such extremely high talent? Bai Chen couldn't help but praise her from the bottom of his heart.
Wan Ruo was so absorbed that she didn't notice at all that Bai Chen's burning eyes had been staring at her for a long time.
He got up, put his outer robe on Wan Ruo, and gently stroked her forehead.
He said dotingly and tenderly, "What should I do? My Ruoruo is so charming when she's concentrating!"
At this moment, Wan Ruo was startled. She said awkwardly, "Hey! Are you already awake?"
"Just in time. I have something to tell you!"
