Take her as my wife

The grass was soft, but Tan Wen still placed his clothes under Jiang Ni's bare back.

Before Jiang Ni was his handsome face, brimming with lust and youthful exuberance, and behind him was a star-studded night sky.

dizziness.

heat.

My heart is racing.

The world spun around.

Jiang Ni didn't know how much time had passed; all she knew was that she was drenched in sweat, with chamomile petals tangled in her long hair, and all she could hear was Tan Wen's heavy breathing.

"Sister," he suddenly called out to her.

Jiang Ni opened her eyes, her dazed gaze still unfocused.

A clear, crisp bell rang out from the cabin.

"Ding-dong~"

"Ding-dong~"

Tan Wen gently stroked the corner of her reddened eyes with his thumb, his voice softer than the night breeze: "Happy birthday, sister."

"Every year from now on, I can accompany you to do what you want to do. I want Jiang Ni to be able to laugh out loud like this forever."

Midnight.

Jiang Ni celebrated her 28th birthday.

She thought that her 27th birthday was already a very happy one.

But Tan Wen had the ability to make her happier than before.

She cupped the back of Tan Wen's head with her palm, pulling him close to her, and said in a gentle yet commanding tone, "Don't call me 'sister'."

Tan Wen nuzzled her nose with his own, obediently changing his address: "Wife..."

"Happy birthday, Nini, my wife," he said again and again.

Jiang Ni patiently responded again and again, without getting tired of it.

"Wife."

"Um."

"Wife."

"Um."

"..."

"Honey, let's do it one more time."

"Uh-huh?!"

Tan Wen grabbed her two fair wrists.

This is the consequence of spoiling a man—before falling asleep exhausted in the bathtub, Jiang Ni made a painful decision: she would never give up the initiative again next time.

After what happened at night, Jiang Ni naturally wouldn't be able to wake up in the morning.

Tan Wen quietly got out of bed. He had been working for several hours, and not only was he not tired, but he was also in excellent spirits. The only problem was the tooth mark on his neck, which wasn't very aesthetically pleasing.

That was because Jiang Ni had been bullied badly by him on the swing, so she bit his neck.

After that bite, he was fine, but she started crying first.

But Tan remained calm and unhurried.

Because he knew in his heart why she was crying.

In short, it wasn't because I was sad or wronged.

"Hi, sir?" The makeup artist, holding concealer, raised her voice again, "Do you need to cover this mark?"

Tan Wen snapped out of his daze: "...No need to cover it up."

He glanced at the cosmetics on the table and asked the makeup artist, "Can I skip the powder?"

The makeup artist was a handsome young man with long hair. His sexual orientation was immediately obvious, but he had extremely high professional ethics and a strong sense of morality. He didn't flirt with Tan Wen just because she was a good-looking guy. He replied in a high-pitched voice, "I don't mind~ But your fiancée will be dressed up for the occasion today. Are you sure you don't need to make up properly so you'll be worthy of her beauty?"

His mix of Chinese and English was giving Tan Wen a headache, but since the logic was sound, Tan Wen compromised: "Fine."

"Okay~"

In the end, not only was his face whitened, but the makeup artist also shaped his eyebrows, applied lipstick, and sprayed him with perfume.

When he came out wearing that pink suit, Liu Jiaren was the first to raise her voice and exclaim in shock, "Holy crap!"

"What? The cool and tough police officer has turned into a popular idol male star?" She walked over and looked Tan Wen up and down.

Jiang Fengyu, carrying Huo Huo, joined in the fun: "Baby, look at your 'male celebrity godfather,' isn't he handsome?"

Huo Huo responded enthusiastically, opening her arms to go towards Tan Wen: "Ee~ Ee~ Oh~ Bao~"

Tan Wen immediately went to pick her up, and was very surprised: "A four-month-old baby can talk? I just heard Huo Huo say 'hug'."

After he had held the baby securely, Jiang Fengyu let go and replied, "Einstein couldn't speak at just over four months old. You're going crazy wanting a daughter."

Tan asked, "..."

On such a wonderful day, we mustn't get angry.

Tan Wen went to play with Huo Huo and ignored Jiang Fengyu.

"Okay," Tan Wen glanced at the time, "Let her sleep for another half hour. Later, I'll trouble Sister Jiaren to wake her up, help her with makeup and changing clothes, and then take her to the proposal venue."

Liu Jiaren readily agreed: "Okay, you go ahead and get busy."

Considering that Jiang Ni would be coming down later, Jiang Fengyu went with Tan Wen, leaving only Liu Jiaren to accompany him.

Just half an hour later, Liu Jiaren arrived on time to provide the wake-up service.

The bedroom door wasn't locked, so she pushed it open and went in. She looked around the room and had to admit that although Tan Wen was young, he really knew how to dote on his wife.

The water in the constant-temperature kettle looked like it had just been poured in and heated that morning, so Jiang Ni could drink it as soon as she woke up.

Even though I'm only staying here for one night, the bed and bedding are all brand new.

The slippers were neatly arranged by the bed, so you could put them on as soon as you got out of bed without even having to adjust their orientation.

"Tsk..." Liu Jiaren muttered, "Serving a wife or a princess...?"

In this comparison, Jiang Fengyu is slightly inferior.

Liu Jiaren walked gracefully to the bedside. Jiang Ni was still fast asleep, which was quite unusual.

The two sisters used to sleep together often. Jiang Ni's sleep quality has always been very poor; she can't tolerate light or noise.

In the past, if she got up to use the bathroom at night, Jiang Ni would notice, and then it would be difficult for her to fall back asleep. As a result, she would never drink water an hour before going to bed, so as not to be woken up by the urge to urinate, which would indirectly affect Jiang Ni's sleep.

Now she's been standing in the room for quite a while, and even sat down next to Jiang Ni, but Jiang Ni hasn't reacted at all.

"It seems it really is the power of true love..." Liu Jiaren muttered to herself, gently lifting the blanket a little to reveal Jiang Ni's face. "Nini... wake up, your little fiancé is already waiting for you..."

Liu Jiaren wanted to say a few more words, but Jiang Ni had already opened her eyes and casually stretched her arm out of the blanket.

"Holy crap!" Liu Jiaren blinked. "Is Tan Wen a dog? He left so many marks on you. How much concealer will I have to use to cover them up?"

Jiang Ni was too tired last night. She fell asleep before Tan Wen finished bathing her. In the end, Tan Wen carried her to wipe her body and blow-dry her hair. But when it came to getting dressed, this guy refused to "put in the effort" and made her sleep naked.

Jiang Ni didn't feel ashamed at being seen naked by her best friend; she was just a little embarrassed, so she pulled the blanket tighter around her chest.

But Liu Jiaren insisted on watching. She tried to pull Jiang Ni's blanket, but couldn't, so she tickled her. Jiang Ni was ticklish, so she loosened her grip and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay... I give up."

Liu Jiaren pulled back the covers and whistled like a hooligan: "I thought I was seeing things, Jiang Nini, you've really grown a lot..."

She only glanced at her again before covering her with the blanket, but the teasing didn't stop: "Tan's breast enhancement technique is quite professional."

Jiang Ni refused to admit defeat: "Your Jiang Fengyu isn't bad either."

She sat up in bed and ordered Liu Jiaren, "Get me my clothes."

Liu Jiaren stood up and, imitating the manner of a maid in an ancient costume drama, folded her hands and curtsied to her: "Yes, Miss Nini."

Jiang Ni smiled, her eyes crinkling as she pursed her lips.

However, the dress was ultimately delivered to the door by the makeup artist. The pink tulle dress that Tan Wen had custom-made, along with the petticoat, made her look both elegant and charming. The elegance came from the style, while the charm came from the color.

The back has a cutout design, but there is a large pink ribbon bow at the lower back.

The voluminous skirt is adorned with numerous small, lustrous pearls embedded in the tulle, like scattered stars peeking through the air—each one was carefully selected from a jewelry store, costing nearly a thousand dollars.

"Tan Wen has such good taste," even Liu Jiaren, who doesn't like pink, thought the dress was absolutely gorgeous and suited Jiang Ni perfectly. "Come on, Miss Nini, let me help you change."
