Take her as my wife

Tan Wen strode into the school. Although the seventeen or eighteen-year-old Tan Wen had never had any "childishness," Jiang Ni could truly feel that he had transformed from a boy into a man when she saw his taller and broader figure.

What moved Jiang Ni the most was that the unruly little leopard in her memory, who used to get into fights in alleyways, would one day become a responsible and upright police officer.

"Buzzing—"

The vibration of her phone made Jiang Ni look away.

It was a call from Liu Jiaren.

"Hey, Nini, are you home yet?"

Jiang Ni put her phone on the holder, started the car, and skillfully turned the steering wheel to make a U-turn.

"Not yet, I just dropped Tan Wen off at his school—did you and Jiang Fengyu... you know?"

"Sigh... I'm so regretful, really..." Liu Jiaren sighed and recounted the whole story of what had happened in the past few days.

"He's not only a virgin, but his mom told me I was the first girl he was willing to go on a blind date with! The first time I met him, he so skillfully asked for my phone number and added me as a friend, I really thought he was pretending to be innocent..."

Jiang Ni asked in surprise, "You've already met his mother?"

Liu Jiaren exclaimed "Ah," and guiltily touched her nose: "Well... he said his house had a curfew, so that night we went straight to his house... and did it."

Jiang Ni: "...And then?"

"He said his parents always get up early to leave, so I thought I'd sleep until 10 a.m. before leaving. But when I went downstairs, I ran into his parents having tea in the living room..."

There were definitely many more developments to come, but Liu Jiaren stopped there and didn't elaborate. Jiang Ni also tacitly refrained from asking further about her embarrassing experience, instead asking curiously, "Then how did you know Jiang Fengyu was a virgin, and why did you wait a week before calling me to tell me this?"

Liu Jiaren had her first sexual experience during college, and the number of her ex-boyfriends could probably fill two or three mahjong tables.

She likes handsome men with good figures, but the novelty only lasts for a short time. The longest relationship Jiang Ni knew of with her was with Shi Qiyan, a rich second-generation from out of town who came to the Yicheng branch for training. Shi Qiyan was also a womanizer with countless ex-girlfriends.

These two seasoned lovers, who only talked about romance but never expressed their feelings, unexpectedly fell in love like lightning, even calling each other "husband" and "wife," and dated for a whole year. At the time, Jiang Ni really thought they would get married.

Later, Shi Qiyan slept with another woman and was caught in the act by Liu Jiaren, which led to their breakup.

If Jiang Fengyu were truly an inexperienced virgin, Liu Jiaren should have known this the first time she slept with him.

"That's the key," Liu Jiaren clicked her tongue, her tone light and airy, "This guy is exceptionally talented, isn't he? This is the first time... Don't they say virgins are quick to kill? Not only did he not, but he was... quite amazing."

Jiang Ni: "...I can tell you're quite satisfied—then why don't you try dating? Wouldn't that be great? Why did you say 'I'm going to die' today?"

"Because he asked me out to dinner today... and then he knelt down and proposed to me!!!"

Liu Jiaren covered her face and sighed: "I didn't agree. He left crying, saying I was toying with his feelings and body, and that he was going to tell my parents."

Jiang Ni smiled immorally, her eyes crinkling and the corners of her lips curving upwards: "I think I was pretty accurate. I told you back then that she was naive, and now you really have to take responsibility."

Liu Jiaren could only argue in her heart: What are you so sure about? You didn't understand either of those two brothers!

Thinking about this, she suddenly remembered something: "Are you on a date with that handsome young man tonight?"

Jiang Ni corrected her wording: "It's not a date, it's a dinner date."

"How about we grab a bite to eat and then catch a movie?"

"We did make plans to see a movie, but we couldn't go because he had to go back to school."

Liu Jiaren knew that Tan Wen truly treated her like a "younger brother," so she couldn't directly tell her Tan Wen's feelings, otherwise there would be two possible outcomes:

As a result, Tan Wen said that the kid's act was perfect, and Jiang Ni would never believe it.

Result two: Jiang Ni believed it, but it also enlightened her, making her realize that her feelings for Tan Wen were "different," which ironically benefited the young man.

Liu Jiaren doesn't fully understand Tan Wen yet, but they're from the same mother, so how different is Tan Wen from Tan Yan, that cheating man who lives off a woman? In any case, she would never support Jiang Ni getting involved with him.

Liu Jiaren said "Oh," chatted with her for a few minutes, and then hung up the phone.

Jiang Ni arrived at the community garage at that time.

I had just stepped into my house when I received a message from Tan Wen.

[Tan asked]: Sister, have you arrived home yet? I think it should be about time.

Jiang Ni replied: "You calculated it very accurately. I just arrived and am about to take a shower and go to bed."

As Tan Wen looked at the word "shower," his mind raced with thoughts, and then he recalled the image of her laughing and calling him "Officer Tan" in the car tonight—his blood was boiling and rushing to his head.

Even though his eyes were filled with a desire to devour her whole, he typed a line of words that read "well-behaved and sensible": Okay, goodnight, sister.

Jiang Ni replied with "Goodnight".

This weekend, Jiang Ni didn't go anywhere. She only invited Wu Wenyi and Chen Siyao to her home for dinner and to talk to them about some things to note and some things to say when the court hearing is about to start.

Chen Siyao has been on leave from school for a while, and Wu Wenyi has made time to accompany her on a trip to relax. Now her overall mental state has improved a lot, and the relationship between the mother and daughter has become noticeably closer and more trusting.

Actually, the girl is a lively person, and after getting to know Jiang Ni, she became more outgoing in her speech.

"Sister Jiang, I want to be a lawyer when I grow up, just like you, to help others and bring bad people to justice!"

Jiang Ni picked up a chicken wing for her and encouraged her, "You can definitely do it, keep going. By the way, I bought you two sets of practice questions for all subjects and also made a study plan for you. You can start on Monday."

Chen Siyao, full of fighting spirit: "Okay!"

With the court hearing approaching and Tan Wen busy with her summer internship, the two had no time to meet. In the past few days, Tan Yan posted several wedding photos and marriage certificate photos on her WeChat Moments, announcing the news of their marriage.

When his college classmates saw that the bride in the photo wasn't Jiang Ni, they were all secretly shocked. After the initial surprise, they were also secretly gloating—after all, the fact that he had won the heart of the beauty had made everyone extremely envious.

Now, everyone is speculating whether Jiang Ni dumped him.

However, Shen Yunqing was no less impressive; everyone just thought he had quite a bit of luck with women.

When Tan Wen saw Tan Yan's post on WeChat Moments, he was overjoyed. He sincerely liked it. Because he wasn't sure if Jiang Ni had blocked or deleted Tan Yan, and was afraid she wouldn't know about it, he quickly saved the picture and pretended to post a WeChat Moments update: "[Wishing my brother and sister-in-law a happy marriage and a long and happy life together]".

Jiang Ni did not block or delete Tan Yan; she naturally saw it.

It's impossible to say she was indifferent; because of this, Jiang Ni took the initiative to ask Liu Jiaren out for drinks that very night.

"Actually, we originally planned to get our marriage certificate today as well."
