Take her as my wife

His answer was flawless.

Jiang Ni likes to keep her hair oil on the bedside table. She doesn't have many things in her room, so it's understandable that Tan Wen would notice this.

"What does my sister suspect me of?" Tan asked, feigning grievance and confusion.

Jiang Ni thought of the perverted man who had harassed her. She didn't want to talk to him much, but then she remembered that Tan Wen was a criminal investigation major and was currently interning at the police station. Maybe he could help her find some clues.

She felt no embarrassment or shame at being harassed by a pervert. The whole thing was the pervert's fault. She calmly pulled out her phone and showed Tan Wen the videos and messages sent by the anonymous number: "Sorry, I've been receiving harassment from a man for the past few months."

Tan Wen helped her apply hair oil, then leaned over and peeked over her shoulder to look at her phone, his chin seemingly resting lightly on her shoulder—the distance was very intimate, but Jiang Ni didn't have any instinctive reaction to dodge.

She was like a frog that Tan Wen had slowly boiled in lukewarm water, no longer resisting physical contact or intrusions into her intimate space.

I remember when they first met, Tan Wen would offer her chopsticks, and she would shrink back even if he just touched her fingers.

She only showed no reaction when Tan Yan held her hand.

This incident once drove Tan Wen to the brink of madness with jealousy.

"Does my sister suspect I'm a pervert?" he asked bluntly.

Jiang Ni answered frankly, "I have had that thought; your voices and body types are quite similar."

Tan Wen chuckled very softly.

The laughter made Jiang Ni feel a little embarrassed, and she took the initiative to apologize to him: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made such unfounded assumptions about you."

"No, I just thought about how my sister would take my photos or videos and compare them carefully with this man, studying my body thoroughly—"

Jiang Ni interrupted him, "It's not that exaggerated, and the video you sent me only showed my upper body!"

Tan asked, feigning surprise, "Does sister want to compare my lower body with his?"

Jiang Ni: "..."

The usually eloquent lawyer Jiang could only helplessly change the subject: "The owner of this number should know me very well."

Of course I understand.

"He knows about my relationship with your brother."

Not only do they know, but they are also "witnesses" to your love.

"He even has private videos of your brother and Shen Yunqing. It was because he sent me that video that I found out your brother was cheating on me."

I'm so sorry, did I disgust you?

"He sent me a package a while ago containing a set of underwear that fit me perfectly. I threw it away immediately, and he's been much quieter since then."

It's lost? What a pity. My sister would have looked so beautiful wearing it.

Jiang Ni glanced at him sideways: "Do you have any way to find information about these anonymous numbers?"

They were so close that when she turned her head slightly to speak to him, her warm breath could be directly sprayed onto his cheek.

Tan Wen felt a bit short of breath.

The scent of rose essential oil, along with her natural subtle fragrance, all seeped into his body.

"Hmm..." His Adam's apple bobbed as he struggled to suppress his hoarse voice and answered her question, "Feng is better than me at computer technology. I'll ask him for you tomorrow."

"Okay. Thank you." Jiang Ni prepared to put her phone away.

Tan asked her again, "What did you ask that man for help with today?"

Jiang Ni briefly recounted the car accident case caused by Du Yucheng, and then mentioned that Du Yucheng's parents had come to see her today.

Tan Wen knew Du Yunhui and had even dealt with him before. When Tan Wen wanted to open a hotel and was looking for land, he had cooperated with Du Yunhui twice through an acquaintance's introduction.

In business, where there's profit to be made, everyone is naturally polite, and it's hard to discern any particular character traits. However, Tan Wen had met Du Yucheng once at a gathering and had a very bad impression of this spoiled brat.

At the time, all the bosses were tacitly playing the "business game," and the private room was full of scantily clad female escorts. Everyone else was taking it easy, concerned about their image, and thinking about going back to the hotel to "have fun" after the party. Only this guy directly pressed the woman under the table and forced her to speak.

However, the club had rules against such "sexual transactions" in private rooms, for fear of being caught red-handed. So the woman coaxed him gently to go to a hotel to do it, but Du Yucheng got upset, grabbed the woman's hair, shoved the neck of a bottle of red wine into her mouth, and kept pouring wine down her throat.

No one spoke up to stop this self-centered young master. In the end, Tan Wen snatched the bottle and rescued the woman.

After this incident, Tan Wen stopped associating with Du Yunhui.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. With the son behaving like this, how good can the father be?

Therefore, Wang Xiang's advice was reasonable—this family was indeed not someone to be trifled with.

However, unlike Wang Xiang, Tan Wen didn't advise her to give up defending the victims and their families. Instead, she said, "This matter involves many risks. The Du family is rich and powerful, but no matter how rich and powerful they are, they can't be allowed to do whatever they want, disregard the law, and trample on other people's lives at will. I fully support your idea, sister, but for your safety, I hope you won't get directly involved. You could have the victims' families apply to the court for a defense lawyer, and you can advise them from behind the scenes—what do you think, sister?"

This way, the Du family can lower their guard without blaming Jiang Ni, achieving two goals at once.

Jiang Ni understood his meaning and thought the plan was very feasible.

"Okay, Officer Tan is really smart." She teased him like a child, and even stroked his short hair.

Tan Wen's eyelids drooped, and he couldn't help but lick his dry lower lip, squeezing out a sentence from his throat: "A good teacher produces a good student. It's because my sister taught me so well."

Jiang Ni then thought of something else: "It's still early tonight, how about I play some games with you?"

Tan Wen straightened up and surprisingly declined her invitation: "I have something to do. My senior brother gave us an assignment today: to write an analysis and summary of today's crime of passion."

Hearing that he had important business to attend to, Jiang Ni immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll play again when I have time. Do you need to use the study?"

"No need, I'll write in my bedroom."

He went back to his bedroom, while Jiang Ni watched the news in the living room.

Aunt Zhou washed a small dish of blueberries for her and brought it over, while holding another small dish in her left hand, which was for Tan Wen.

She had just witnessed their "intimate" conversation and was quite surprised. After all, when Tan Yan and Jiang Ni lived together, their most intimate behavior was sitting on the sofa chatting and watching TV while cuddling. In this light, didn't Jiang Ni and Tan Wen also seem like a "couple"?

Aunt Zhou couldn't understand it, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't meddle in other people's business.

"I'll give it to Tan Wenduan."

"No need, he doesn't like these fruits. We can buy some oranges next time," Jiang Ni said. "You can eat them yourself."

"Okay, sure."

At 10 p.m., Jiang Ni was heading back to her bedroom. When she passed by Tan Wen's bedroom door, she noticed that the light was still on, but she didn't disturb him.

After taking her medicine as usual, Jiang Ni put the medicine bottle into the bottom drawer, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

Just as the room was plunged into darkness, her phone, which was on the bedside table, lit up and vibrated a few times.

Jiang Ni opened her eyes and guessed that the message was from that perverted man.

【***】:(video)

【＊＊＊】：My sister's body is very flexible, she can definitely do a lot of positions.

【＊＊＊】：My favorite is 【遇】【入】.

Then I gently turn my sister's beautiful face to the side and kiss her. I will slowly kiss every inch of her skin.

This guy's witty remarks once again refreshed Jiang Ni's understanding of what constitutes rudeness.

She was too lazy to even open the video; it was all the same kind of stuff anyway.

She remembered that Tan Wen had said he would help her check this personal information, so she sent Tan Wen a video call and a text message at the same time.

[Sister]: Here we go again.

Tan replied quickly: Okay, I'll block him, sister.

[Sister]: It's no use, I have other numbers even if I blocked them. Are you done with your work?

[Tan asked]: Not yet, is sister going to sleep?

[Sister]: Yes, you should get some rest too. Good night.

Tan sent the words "Goodnight," tossed his phone aside, pulled up his pants, and began cleaning up the "crime scene."

Clean up the crumpled paper and open the windows for ventilation.

At this moment, I really want a cigarette.

But when he quit smoking, he couldn't find a single cigarette in his pocket.

Reluctantly, he gave up and sat down at his desk to continue writing his summary report.
