Han Yu Nuo's face turned green with anger.
She hadn't expected that despite the major issues within the Shen family, Shen Ke Qin could still be so arrogant.
Laughing in extreme anger, she walked over and sat down on the sofa. The people behind her also sat down one after another, treating the private room as their territory.
Someone beside her opened a bottle of wine and handed it to Han Yu Nuo.
Han Yu Nuo took it and raised her glass towards Shen Ke Qin, "Shen Ke Qin, it's been a while since we sat and drank together. Come, I'll toast you. Let's consider it my congratulations that Uncle Shen is okay."
Shen Ke Qin didn't even want to give Han Yu Nuo a pleasant look, let alone drink with her.
Knowing that Han Yu Nuo and her group were there to mock her, she expressionlessly told them to leave, "Take your group of leg-hairs out of my sight. The sight of you makes me sick."
The expressions of the others changed, but they dared not do anything to Shen Ke Qin.
After all, none of them dared to offend the Shen family.
Han Yu Nuo smiled in anger, "I heard that your father's incident was caused by Jian Mu Bai and Lin Zhu Yin. Heh... I told you long ago that Jian Mu Bai had someone in his heart. I never imagined the person he liked would be your sister-in-law, hahaha..."
Han Yu Nuo laughed, then took a big gulp from the wine bottle. "See, we fought tooth and nail over him, only to realize in the end that he didn't care about either of us. The affection of childhood sweethearts, how deep that love must be."
"Fight?" Shen Ke Qin let out a cold snort, her beautiful and charming eyes filled with mockery. "When did I ever fight with you? He was just a bodyguard for my family, no different from a dog."
"Is that so? Then who was it that after we exchanged bodyguards, spent every day looking like they'd lost their eyes and nose?"
The exchange of bodyguards between Shen Ke Qin and Han Yu Nuo happened two years ago.
Shen Ke Qin and Han Yu Nuo had been in the same class since junior high school. In high school, even in university, though not in the same class, they were in the same school.
From the day they met, they disliked each other.
Han Yu Nuo felt Shen Ke Qin was haughty and arrogant, looking down on everyone.
Shen Ke Qin felt Han Yu Nuo was two-faced, and every strand of her hair screamed "fake."
When the school selected the campus belle, Shen Ke Qin was always at the top, while Han Yu Nuo was overshadowed by her.
However, in academics, Han Yu Nuo was always ahead of Shen Ke Qin.
Even with all her effort, Shen Ke Qin couldn't surpass Han Yu Nuo.
These two irreconcilable individuals, at the age of twelve, were both kidnapped.
It was truly Han Yu Nuo's misfortune. The kidnappers initially only intended to kidnap the Shen family's little princess and extort money from them.
Han Yu Nuo was kidnapped because she suspected Shen Ke Qin of having a secret relationship. She wanted to catch her in the act and report it, preventing Shen Ke Qin from participating in any school selections in the future.
That kidnapping left a considerable psychological shadow on both of them.
After that, both families hired bodyguards to protect their daughters.
Han Yu Nuo was a superficial person, so when choosing a bodyguard, she personally went to the bodyguard company and picked one who was handsome and skilled.
Even when choosing a bodyguard, she wanted hers to be superior to Shen Ke Qin's.
But the moment she saw Jian Mu Bai, she was completely thrown off.
Damn Shen Ke Qin, where did she find such a handsome bodyguard?
But thinking he was just a pretty face with no substance, to save face, she blocked Shen Ke Qin's path.
"Heh... Shen Ke Qin, your bodyguard looks useless. Look at my bodyguard; he has muscles and a handsome face. Don't let your bodyguard run faster than you when danger strikes!"
Shen Ke Qin couldn't resist the provocation, and she also wanted to test Jian Mu Bai's skills, so she agreed to Han Yu Nuo's challenge and let Jian Mu Bai and Han Yu Nuo's bodyguard have a match.
Jian Mu Bai had been trained by Lin Bo Shi as an heir since childhood. Every year during winter and summer breaks, he was sent to intensive summer camps. He looked thin but was actually the type who looked lean in clothes and muscular without them.
In less than three minutes, Jian Mu Bai had the bodyguard hired by Han Yu Nuo on the ground.
After the fight, Han Yu Nuo ran off in anger, while Shen Ke Qin happily patted Jian Mu Bai's back, "Brother Jian, you've made me so proud. I'll ask my father to give you a raise when we get back."
From then on, Han Yu Nuo became obsessed with searching for handsome and skilled bodyguards across the country and having each hired bodyguard challenge Jian Mu Bai.
Over the years, Jian Mu Bai remained by Shen Ke Qin's side, while Han Yu Nuo changed bodyguards countless times.
Under the constant challenges from Han Yu Nuo's bodyguards, Jian Mu Bai's fighting skills improved continuously.
Gradually, Han Yu Nuo fell for Jian Mu Bai. After entering university, she stopped having her bodyguards challenge Jian Mu Bai and began to pursue him.
After being rejected by Jian Mu Bai, she persistently proposed the bodyguard exchange to Shen Ke Qin.
Shen Ke Qin was annoyed by Han Yu Nuo's constant harassment, "Are you ever going to stop?"
"I like him!"
"Huh?"
Shen Ke Qin was stunned by Han Yu Nuo's direct confession. Her first reaction was that Han Yu Nuo had gone mad, and her second was an uncomfortable feeling in her heart.
"Do you like him?"
Suddenly hearing the question, she subconsciously replied, "How... how is that possible! He's just my bodyguard."
"Then I'm relieved."
"What?"
"I want to pursue him, I want to date him. You won't object, will you?"
At that moment, Shen Ke Qin felt panicked and annoyed. "If you want to pursue him, go ahead. What does it have to do with me?"
She turned to leave, but Han Yu Nuo walked forward and blocked her path, "He's not easy to pursue. Let him be my bodyguard for a few days, so I can get close to him."
Shen Ke Qin's expression had already turned unpleasant. She frowned in annoyance and said, "Are you ever going to stop?"
Having been rivals for so many years, Han Yu Nuo knew Shen Ke Qin's personality very well. She deliberately provoked her, "Don't tell me you're reluctant to let Jian Mu Bai leave you? Don't forget, Jian Mu Bai is already twenty-six. He should be dating and getting married. You don't intend to let him be your bodyguard forever, do you? Delaying someone's major life events will bring divine retribution."
Shen Ke Qin: "..."
At that time, Shen Ke Qin hadn't realized her feelings for Jian Mu Bai, so she shifted the problem to Jian Mu Bai, "You should talk to Jian Mu Bai about this. Don't ask me."
Han Yu Nuo immediately asked, "If Jian Mu Bai has no objections, will you really agree to the exchange?"
Shen Ke Qin didn't reply and left directly.
Later, Han Yu Nuo said something to Jian Mu Bai that made him agree. This infuriated Shen Ke Qin, and in her anger, she had all of Jian Mu Bai's belongings thrown out of the Shen residence.
Since the bodyguard exchange, Han Yu Nuo had been beaming with joy and acting arrogantly.
With Jian Mu Bai following behind her, every time they entered the campus, Han Yu Nuo wished she could set off firecrackers to let everyone know that Jian Mu Bai was now her bodyguard.
Meanwhile, every time Shen Ke Qin saw them together, her mood soured terribly, her anger rising like a rocket straight to her head.
