CHAPTER 161: 94. HE FINALLY LOST SOME CONTROL IN FRONT OF HER.

Shi Nian returned home, and the police motorcycle that had been following the taxi also stopped. Guan Liang took off his helmet dashingly and walked up to Shi Nian, extending his hand: "Hi, we meet again."

Shi Nian chuckled, somewhat speechless: "Could it be that today it’s you, Mr. Guan, who is here to protect me again?"

Guan Liang nodded: "Honored to take this shift."

A small sense of relief flowed through her heart—because she didn’t have to face Xiang Yuan alone at home;

At the same time, a small disappointment flowed through as well—because it wasn’t Tang Yanqing.

Besides, he didn’t have anything particularly urgent today; he had just promised to go out with some classmates from the behavior analysis class.

Xiang Yuan was waiting at the door and wanted to go forward for a hug as Shi Nian came in, but at that moment, he saw Guan Liang who followed like a shadow.

Xiang Yuan had an impression of Guan Liang; it was this police sir who caught and fined him for speeding that day.

Xiang Yuan always cherished his reputation the most, especially concerning public image. Since he got his driver’s license, he had never had any traffic violations, but this sole incident happened at Guan Liang’s hands, and his memory of it was naturally deep.

Xiang Yuan felt a bit awkward, retracting his arms and rubbing his palm against his pant’s seam before extending it to Guan Liang: "Hi, sir."

Guan Liang, with a good-natured smile, shook hands, introducing himself: "Guan Liang. Guan as in the great Guan, and Liang as in the starling bird."

"May I ask what Mr. Guan’s purpose is today?"

Guan Liang smiled good-naturedly: "Order to stay close and protect Mr. Shi."

Xiang Yuan slightly bit his lip.

Though he released it almost immediately, Shi Nian understood, that was—[anger].

Xiang Yuan still maintained a polite smile: "It’s just that today’s schedule for Shi Nian and me is to see the marriage counseling expert; it seems a bit inconvenient to have an officer present."

Guan Liang smiled, understanding the rules, and pulled a piece of paper from his briefcase: "Lawyer Xiang, I understand these rules too. This is a confidentiality agreement; take a look at the terms. If there aren’t any objections, I’ll sign it. If you find out that I disclosed any personal life details you mentioned during the marriage counseling in the future, you have the right to take me to court."

Dealing with lawyers naturally entails constantly invoking the law. As long as everything is done legally and reasonably, he naturally has nothing to say.

This was told by Mr. Tang, though he analyzed that the original words came from Tang Yanxi, perhaps even Tang Mingyi. In this state, what lawyer could outdo the Tang father and son?

But Xiang Yuan wasn’t foolish either; seeing that Guan Liang was indeed well-prepared, and the confidentiality agreement he held was drafted without a single loophole... he couldn’t help but smile: "Mr. Guan, really curious who helped you draft this agreement, truly an expert."

Guan Liang still maintained a good-natured smile on his face but retorted unceremoniously: "Lawyer Xiang, do you think our police would find a lawyer full of loopholes for ourselves and leave a mess behind? How would our police enforce the law then?"

Shi Nian looked at Guan Liang, somewhat surprised.

Tsk, this one and Jia Tianzi really are smiling tigers, worthy to be by Tang Yanqing’s side as his aides.

But it wasn’t good for the two to remain so stiff, so Shi Nian raised his wrist to check the time: "A Yuan, what time did you schedule with the expert? If it’s almost time, let’s go first."

Xiang Yuan’s hands placed to his side clenched gently into fists.

It was [further anger].

He thought about the meals, red wine, and flowers already prepared in the kitchen. He originally hoped to spend a romantic evening with Shi Nian this weekend... Regardless of whether they could end up together that night, at least they could slightly mend the rift between them.

After all, absence makes the heart grow fonder; in the few days she was away, she couldn’t have completely not missed him.

But all of it was ruined by this Mr. Guan!

Darn this 24-hour close protection, when the hell will it end?

But even though his anger was as such, he couldn’t let it show. He took a deep, deep breath, then leaned closer to look at Shi Nian’s watch.

This sudden closeness made Shi Nian tremble all over, but she could only forcibly hold it in.

After all, he was still her husband in name.

"Well, there’s a bit of time. But since it’s already like this..." Xiang Yuan’s gaze slid over Guan Liang’s face: "Then it’s pointless to stay at home for now, let’s go."

Xiang Yuan asked Shi Nian and Guan Liang to wait outside the door, saying he needed to change clothes.

Shi Nian then walked towards the car with Guan Liang, and Xiang Yuan closed the door and took out his phone.

"Hello, I’d like to inquire about how to apply to the police for canceling the 24-hour close protection? Ok, if a joint resident rights holder applies and provides sufficient proof of self-protection capability, while also promising to cooperate with all other forms of police protection... it can be done, right? Alright, thank you very much."
