Take her as my wife

Those thugs were no match for Tan Wen at all. Even when he was fighting five against one, Tan Wen handled it with ease.

Moreover, he recognized the voice of the man who had malicious intentions towards Jiang Ni in the car. He was the one who attacked him the most viciously, knocking out two of the man's teeth and knocking him unconscious.

His face was splattered with blood, and his fists were covered in blood. His taut arm muscles bulged high, and veins bulged. His fierce appearance made the men in the room afraid to even breathe.

Only Jiang Ni softly called his name: "Tan Wen..."

Tan Wen kicked away the man blocking his way, strode over to her, and wiped the blood off his hands on his pants.

The fierce tiger turned into a loyal dog, almost drooping its ears so she could pet it a few times, even its voice was incredibly obedient: "Sister, let's go right away."

"Wait a minute, senior." Jiang Ni pointed at Tong Zhou.

Tan Wen silently savored the title "senior" in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. He simply bent down and hugged her again.

He covered her disheveled collar with his own clothes, and Jiang Ni crossed her arms behind his neck, her nose filled with the lemon and citrus scent emanating from him.

There is no sense of smell in dreams, so she involuntarily twitched her nostrils, closed her eyes, and pressed her cheek closer to his chest.

Tan Wen held her lightly, glancing at Tong Zhou. His black suit trousers couldn't hide his embarrassment.

Tan asked coldly, "Is this gentleman still able to walk?"

Tong Zhou responded: "...Yes."

Intelligent men also have keen intuition. From the moment Tan Wen appeared, Tong Zhou could tell that the relationship between Jiang Ni and him was unusual.

But if you were to say they were "couples," Tong Zhou felt they didn't seem like it.

It's probably... the ambiguous stage, the kind where the relationship hasn't been officially defined yet.

Tan Wen followed by in a car, a spacious SUV.

He carried Jiang Ni to the back seat, and as he was about to back away, he noticed a small wet patch on her pants.

This drug may have a more pronounced effect on women, or perhaps Jiang Ni's inexperienced body is too sensitive. She closed her long legs, shut her eyes, and breathed softly.

Tan Wen also noticed a small gesture of hers—she was clutching the shirt he had taken off, unconsciously rubbing her cheek against it.

Very nice.

It would be even better if it were him as a person, rather than his clothes, that I was trying to take advantage of.

"Sister..." he began, his voice hoarse and unnatural. He coughed lightly and gently stroked her flushed cheek with his hand. "Hang in there a little longer, we'll be fine by the time we get to the hospital."

Jiang Ni lifted her eyelids, revealing a pair of misty eyes beneath long lashes, the corners of her fox-like eyes tinged with crimson: "Tan Wen..."

She must have been under the influence of the drug, her whole being immersed in the most primal physiological desires, because this "Tan Wen" sounded completely different from her usual tone.

Tan Wen bit the flesh on his cheek, almost getting spurted out by her.

He dared not look at her or touch her any longer. He quickly withdrew his hand, leaned out, closed the car door, and said to Tong Zhou with a stern face, "Sit in the front."

Tong Zhou: "..."

She was just pretending a moment ago, calling him "this gentleman," but now that Jiang Ni can't hear her, she doesn't even bother with a proper address.

Tan Wen sped along, running several red lights, until he reached the nearest top-tier hospital and got them into the doctor's care. (Running red lights is unacceptable!)

He calmed himself down in the corridor. When he carried Jiang Ni into the hospital, she kept rubbing against him, which made his heart beat too fast and gave him goosebumps—it felt so good.

He shook out his clothes and put them on. The clothes were still smelling of Jiang Ni. Tan Wen savored the scent, feeling as if a little ant had crawled into his heart, burrowing around and making him feel tingly and numb.

Hold……

What should I do if I regret it a little?

If I take her back to the apartment...

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he frowned and tugged at his short hair, giving himself a warning: What you need is to get into her bed openly and honestly, and for her to consciously allow you to be her man.

With her romantic thoughts gone, Tan Wen stood up, went to the stairwell, and made a phone call.

"Senior brother, have you caught him yet?"

Footsteps came from Xie Tao's end; he was probably looking for a quiet place to talk to him.

"Hey, caught him. You beat him up so badly he can't even run anymore—violent law enforcement is unacceptable, Comrade Xiao Tan." Xie Tao gave him a formal reply first.

Tan Wen replied cooperatively, "Understood, thank you for your guidance, senior brother."

Xie Tao lit a cigarette and started talking to him about business: "The man has been interrogated. We checked his transaction records, and the person who transferred money to them is named Zhou Linhua. But that person isn't the mastermind, just a coordinator. We've sent people to look for Zhou Linhua, but there's no news yet."

Tan hummed in response: "If you have any news, please let me know, senior brother."

"become."

After hanging up, Tan Wen called Yang Jiu again and got straight to the point: "Find me someone named Zhou Linhua."

Yang Jiu replied casually, "Brother, your name is so common. How am I supposed to find this person if I only have their name? —Did this person offend you?"

Tan Wen lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yeah, someone's trying to mess with my wife."

He didn't call her "sister," he called her "wife," and his possessiveness and protectiveness were almost overflowing in those two words.

Yang Jiu chuckled: "Which blind idiot did this? He's digging his own grave. Okay, send me some other information and I'll have someone look for it as soon as possible."

Tan Wen also wanted to know which idiot dared to have such wicked thoughts about Jiang Ni.

So far, the only people Tan Wen can think of are the Du family.

But according to Xie Tao, the group of thugs didn't know the "boss" who placed the order with them.

Only by finding Zhou Linhua can we get the answer.

"Jiang Ni's family—"

The nurse is calling for someone.

Tan Wen put his phone away, turned and walked into the corridor, calling out loudly, "Here!"

The nurse told him, "We induced vomiting in the patient, and he is now conscious. You can go back and observe him for a while, and make sure he drinks plenty of water to promote metabolism."

Tong Zhou had it even easier. After inducing vomiting, he could go to a separate treatment room to take care of himself once or twice, and then he would basically have no reaction.

Tan Wen went to the treatment room to pick up Jiang Ni. Jiang Ni was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed with her shirt collar open, and she looked much better.

But when Tan Wen walked over, he only heard her whisper for help: "...My legs are weak."

Unable to bear her coquettish and complaining tone, Tan Wen's Adam's apple bobbed, and he immediately squatted down in front of her: "I'll carry my sister out."

Jiang Ni hesitated for a moment, but still slowly lay down on his broad and sturdy back.

The moment her warm, soft body pressed down on him, Tan Wen took a deep breath, his gaze only glancing down at his lower body.

Thankfully, I didn't go into heat unnecessarily.

Tong Zhou was picked up by his assistant. After Jiang Ni got into the car, she found her phone and transferred 200,000 yuan to him. She didn't have the energy to type, so she sent a voice message instead.

"I'm sorry, senior, I made you suffer along with me today."

Tan Wen scoffed, "If he hadn't taken my sister out to play until late at night, she wouldn't have been in danger."

Jiang Ni reasoned with him: "That person's target is me. No matter who it is today, they will be implicated by me. It's not their fault."

Before Tan could respond, she changed the subject: "Where did this car come from? You got here so fast. When did you find out I was in trouble?"

"The car belongs to the neighbor next door," Tan answered one question at a time, "when you were being led into the car."

The first statement is true, the second statement is false.

He clearly overheard Jiang Ni having dinner with Tong Zhou yesterday afternoon.

So he deliberately sent her a few harassing videos and some suggestive remarks during their mealtime.

Jiang Ni said "Oh" and slowly added, "...Thank you."

Tan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye: "Sister, you don't need to say those two words to me—how are you feeling, sister? Your face is still a little red."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ni shifted uneasily... her breathing became somewhat rapid.

The sticky, tingling sensation returns.

"Tan asked..."

Tan Wen gripped the steering wheel tightly and forced out a voice from his throat: "I'm here."

"Tan asked..."

She seemed a little disoriented again, only able to call his name.

Jiang Ni even thought she was having a hazy, beautiful dream.

Tan Wen's eyes darkened, and he turned the steering wheel, turning the car into a dark alley and stopping.

"Click—"

When the seatbelt buckle came undone, Tan Wen felt as if the desires in his heart had also broken free of their restraints.

"Sister," he said in a low, husky voice, his eyes deep and unfathomable, "...do you want me to help you...?"
