Chapter 003: Classic Couples

Ever since she learned that she would be following Wang Bo to many worlds, Xiao Bai, while cultivating in the Time Villa, proactively learned many languages, including English.

Besides that, Xiao Bai was also proficient in Japanese, German, French, Italian, and so on.

Xiao Qing glanced at Lara with interest and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Lara didn't mind and invited the two women inside to chat.

But as they entered the house, she lagged a step, just enough to be level with Wang Bo, and lowered her voice: "Where on earth did you trick two women as beautiful as goddesses from?"

Even the well-traveled Lara couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing.

Such beauty was truly one in a million.

In all her life, Lara had rarely seen the like.

Wang Bo smiled slightly and said, "I guess it's fate."

This wasn't a lie; if Wang Bo had known from the start that Xiao Bai was Bai Suzhen, he would never have made a move on her. Wang Bo liked beautiful women, but he didn't make a move on every beautiful woman he saw.

Moreover, as a man with feelings, he greatly admired some people's romances.

For instance, Cinderella and the Prince—that was a beautiful fairy tale, and Wang Bo had never thought of breaking them apart.

Another example was Liang Zhu; if Wang Bo entered that world, he likewise wouldn't break up Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai; instead, he would try every way to bring them together.

Besides these, there were Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng, Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü, Romeo and Juliet, Jack and Rose, Joker and Fairy Zixia, Wong Fei-hung and Aunt Thirteen, Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian...

Wang Bo had no intention of poaching any of these classic couples.

And the love between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, though full of trials, was also a moving love story, so Wang Bo wouldn't try to steal her away.

After all, across the myriad worlds, there were far too many interesting women and souls; there was no need to destroy these classic couples.

But the problem was, he only found out Xiao Bai was Bai Suzhen after he had already made a move on her.

Although Wang Bo admired these people's love, he wasn't obligated to make it happen. Since Xiao Bai had already established a romantic relationship with him, Wang Bo naturally wouldn't hand her over.

Unless Wang Bo was sick.

But the thing was, Wang Bo wasn't sick; he was a perfectly healthy person. He admired love, but that didn't mean he was an idiot. So Xu Xian could go cool off wherever he pleased.

After entering the house, Lara, as the hostess, warmly entertained Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing.

However, she didn't bring up any requests, such as that she was used to her butler's care and hoped her butler would stay on. In exchange, she could let the two women live in her manor.

This surprised Wang Bo quite a bit.

Because she didn't mention it, the rest of the afternoon passed pleasantly enough among the three women. Lara even took the two to see her archaeological trophies.

In the evening, Wang Bo went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Preparing, that is, by taking out the Gourmet Tablecloth and ordering a sumptuous dinner.

When Wang Bo called the three women to eat, he was surprised to find that their conversation had shifted to Lara's archaeological adventures. Talking about these things, Lara rarely shared a few of her own adventures.

Xiao Qing, who had never been on an adventure, found it thrilling, while Xiao Bai listened quietly on the side.

After hearing one of Lara's adventures, Xiao Qing said cheerfully, "I didn't expect your life to be so colorful. Hearing this makes me want to go on an adventure too."

Lara shook her head and said, "Archaeology isn't easy. There have been many times when I thought I was about to die."

This was no joke; many times, Lara had survived dangerous places only through astonishing perseverance.

Xiao Qing said dismissively, "Don't worry, I'm very powerful—for a human."

Lara looked at Xiao Qing in surprise, as if something occurred to her. "You know Chinese kung fu?"

"Chinese kung fu? What's that? I know magic," Xiao Qing said bluntly. Wang Bo couldn't stop her and covered his face.

"Magic?" Lara was a bit surprised; after many adventures, she was no stranger to mystical forces. "You mean you can do those legendary spells?"

"Of course." Xiao Qing waved her hand proudly and performed a small spell. A teacup on the table rose by itself and flew into her hand.

"My God." Lara stared wide-eyed.

Seeing this, Wang Bo stepped in to change the subject. "Ladies, dinner is ready. Please come and eat."

But Lara wasn't so easily fooled. She exclaimed, "Chris, did you see that? Your little girlfriend can do magic!"

"Yes, Lara, I saw."

"Aren't you surprised at all?" Lara asked, seeing Wang Bo's calm expression.

"Actually, I already know who they are," Wang Bo said casually. "In fact, they come from an ancient Eastern tribe where people have mystical powers and maintain ancient customs. That's why I can marry both of them."

Lara opened her mouth and said enviously, "You are a lucky man."

"I agree with you. Now, let's enjoy dinner together." Wang Bo steered the conversation back. "I've prepared a sumptuous meal."

Lara nodded.

The four of them moved to the dining room. Just then, a brown-haired, casually dressed young man walked in from outside. Seeing everyone already seated at the table, he said, "Has dinner started already? Why didn't anyone tell me? Have you forgotten about me?"

Lara glanced sideways at him. "If you have time to talk nonsense, why not sit down and eat, Bryce."

Wang Bo looked at him. This man named Bryce was Lara's hired assistant, a tech whiz skilled in computers and machinery.

He had helped Lara many times during her adventures and was deeply trusted by her.

Hearing Lara's call, Bryce quickly walked over and sat beside Lara. When he saw Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing, he couldn't help but exclaim dramatically, "Lara, are these two beautiful goddesses your friends?"

"No, they are Chris's lovers."

"Chris's lovers?" Bryce was even more surprised. "The one in white on the left, or the one in green on the right?"

"Both," Lara said meaningfully.

Bryce: ...

He felt a deep sense of malice.
