Take her as my wife

Chapter 40 One pretends to be drunk, the other pretends to be innocent

We were drinking and having fun, and before we knew it, it was almost midnight.

Tan asked to go to the restroom first to settle the bill. In the end, Feng made a wish, and after everyone shared the cake and finished eating, they all went home.

Jiang Ni called a designated driver, and Chen Siyao sat in the passenger seat first, leaving the back seat space for her and Tan Wen.

Tan Wen thought this girl was very promising, and he should recognize her as his god-sister. In the future, when he marries Jiang Ni, Chen Siyao will sit at the head table.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too relaxed tonight, but Jiang Ni drank without restraint. Her eyes were already tinged with drunkenness. After getting into the car, her body went limp. Just then, she was about to turn right and slumped against Tan Wen.

She tried to sit up straight, but her brain wouldn't cooperate.

Tan Wen boldly reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close to him: "Sister, it's still about twenty minutes until we get back, why don't you take a nap?"

His clothes had a refreshing scent, like lemon mixed with citrus. Jiang Ni twitched her nose and took a light sniff, then closed her eyes and unconsciously rubbed her cheek against his shoulder.

It looks just like a lazy, tired cat.

The impact rubbed against Tan Wen, making half of his body numb, and he dared not move at all.

Tan Wen silently counted to three in his mind, and only after confirming that Jiang Ni's breathing had become long and steady did he slowly lower his head.

The large hand that had been hovering over her waist finally fell completely to the ground.

Warm, soft, and fragrant.

He couldn't resist lowering his chin again, his lips touching her hair, and stealing a quick kiss.

It feels so good, damn.

But after that, he dared not act recklessly again.

They dutifully served as their own human chairs until the designated driver took them to the garage.

Tan Wen didn't wake her up. Instead, he handed her bag to Chen Siyao to carry, and then picked her up in a vertical hug. This way, even if she couldn't exert any strength, she could rest comfortably on his shoulder.

He easily carried her home with just one arm.

Aunt Zhou wasn't home today. After instructing Chen Siyao to wash up and go to bed, Tan Wen carried Jiang Ni back to her bedroom.

Despite her young age, Chen Siyao was shrewd enough to say, "Don't take advantage of me," before quickly slamming the door shut and going inside.

Tan Wen scoffed lightly—if he really wanted to take advantage of someone in distress, he would have done so long ago.

Jiang Ni was unsuspecting of him; this wasn't the first time she had gotten drunk in front of him.

He even knew that she would black out when she was drunk and wouldn't remember anything the next day.

But he never even stole a kiss from her.

— Their "first kiss" must, absolutely must, be one in which Jiang Ni is fully conscious and agrees to him and responds to him.

Previously, when Jiang Ni got drunk, Tan Mei took care of her and changed her clothes. Speaking of this, Tan Wen suddenly remembered what Tan Mei said to him after she finished changing her clothes: "The young ladies from rich families are really different. Their skin is more tender than a peeled egg."

At this moment, Tan Wen couldn't take off her clothes, so he could only take off her shoes and put her in bed.

The room was at a comfortable temperature due to the air conditioning. After covering her with a light blanket, Tan Wen went to the bathroom to wet a towel and wiped her face and hands.

After finishing these tasks, he cleaned the bathroom, turned off the lights, and left.

The door closed very softly.

In the darkness, Jiang Ni's long eyelashes trembled.

—As expected, she was just imagining things. Tan Wen is definitely not that perverted man.

Once the footsteps outside had faded away, Jiang Ni slowly got out of bed. She had drunk more than usual tonight and was indeed a little tipsy, but not to the point of being unconscious.

Because of the phone wallpaper she saw by chance, she once again questioned Tan Wen and tested him.

Feeling quite guilty, Jiang Ni realized she had been overly paranoid.

Little did she know, Tan Wen was a shrewd fellow. He had been silently keeping track of the number of bottles she drank all day. He knew perfectly well whether she was truly drunk or faking it, and naturally, he wouldn't give himself away.

Back in the bedroom, Tan Wen took off his clothes and couldn't help but greedily smell them under his nose—they were all filled with Jiang Ni's fragrance.

As Jiang Ni changed her clothes and got into bed, she received another video from that perverted man. There were no text messages today.

The video is just unusually long.

Jiang Ni didn't open it as usual, and went to sleep instead of opening her phone.

After being retaliated against by Luo Fan, Tan Wen, with Jiang Ni's guidance, contacted the Hu brothers the next day.

Hu Jiaguang and Hu Jiarong did not get into university. After graduating from high school, they stayed in Ning County to do business. The money was given by Tan Wen. The two brothers also went out to study for a period of time. Two years ago, they started to develop tourism in Ning County.

Ning County has a great natural environment with mountains and rivers, and the government is very supportive of their tourism development project. In the past two years, Ning County has changed a lot, which has also helped ordinary people in Ning County to make money.

Recently, the Hu brothers have followed the trend of the times and started selling agricultural products through live streaming on the Internet. Tan Wen has invested money in them again, and they have now officially started.

The two brothers are now seen as glamorous bosses by others, and even the county leaders are quite familiar with them. However, upon receiving Tan's call, the two immediately bought train tickets and rushed to Yicheng.

Tan hadn't asked them to fight in a long time.

This time, the guy must have been really awful. The two brothers started thinking about it in the car, and they decided they had to beat him into submission before they were done.

Around 3 PM, they told Tan Wen they had arrived at the train station, but Tan Wen was at work, so they had to trouble Jiang Ni to pick them up.

Upon seeing Jiang Ni, the two were initially taken aback—had their boss actually won over the goddess?!

They greeted Jiang Ni politely, got into the car, and didn't dare to say a word, afraid that they might say something wrong and cause trouble for Tan Wen.

Jiang Ni, however, took the initiative to bring up the topic: "What are you two doing right now?"

Hu Jiaguang chimed in, "I'm doing live streaming in the county; it's a lucrative business these days."

Jiang Ni nodded: "Indeed, I know that Tan Wen came to you this time, but his status is different now. If the other party hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have supported him using such methods to fight violence with violence."

Hu Jiaguang understood her unspoken meaning: if this matter is entrusted to them, they should be more careful than before, so as not to affect Tan Wen.

"Don't worry, sister, we'll definitely handle this." He quickly assured her.

Jiang Ni hummed in agreement: "I'll take you to the hotel. It's very close to where Tan Wen and I are staying. We'll have dinner together after he gets off work tonight."

Hu Jiaguang: "Okay, thank you for your help, sister."

"Thank you, sister," Hu Jiarong added.

"You're welcome."

Little did the brothers know that beneath their calm exteriors lay growing shock—they were living together?!

That shouldn't be the case.

If Tan Wen really wins Jiang Ni's heart, wouldn't he announce it to the world and post it on his WeChat Moments every hour to show off?
