Take her as my wife

The alley was dark and quiet at nearly three in the morning. The car was still running, and although the air conditioning was set to a comfortable temperature, there was still a faint smell of heat.

It is the heat of intertwined breaths, the heat of physical contact.

Her fair skin turned slightly pink from the heat. Tan Wen unfastened her safety buckle and adjusted the chair back to a comfortable height so that she could lie down more comfortably.

The SUV was actually quite spacious, but he was tall and Jiang Ni wasn't exactly petite either, so the space naturally felt cramped when they got close.

His handsome face was very close.

They had never been this close in their daily lives, and coupled with the fact that she had recently had two dreams about him, Jiang Ni was not in a clear mind and mistook the current situation for a dream.

She is a very quick learner; Mengli Tan once praised her for it.

So she mimicked the actions from the previous two dreams, reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck, her voice slightly hesitant: "Help me...do what?"

The way she wrapped her arms around her neck was so practiced.

After a moment of stunned silence, Tan Wen's inner eyes narrowed, and he asked her with half-closed eyes, "Nini, who am I?"

He deliberately didn't call her "sister," and even set a trap for her by calling her by a name he had never used in front of her before.

Jiang Ni's mind was already foggy, and his question left her somewhat bewildered. So she cupped his face in her hands, examined him closely, and said, slowly and deliberately, "You are, Tan..."

Tan Wen's heart was in his throat, fearing that she might utter some other word.

"ask."

"Yes," he emphasized, "I am Tan Wen."

"I'm so hot... Tan Wen." She had no mind to think about anything else. She pulled open her collar with one hand and hooked her other arm around Tan Wen's neck, looking uneasy.

"It'll be ready in a minute."

He comforted and coaxed her.

"Close your eyes..."

As Tan Wen gazed at her beautiful face, he gently stroked her slightly hot waist.

Like petting a cat.

"Click," a very soft sound.

Tan Wen's throat tightened, and the veins on the arm that had been supporting her from the side were bulging, the muscles taut.

But her other hand was extremely gentle, and she didn't dare to use any strength at all.

Jiang Ni closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling.

A very beautiful rose appeared in my dream.

It's clearly not the season for them to bloom yet.

But then, it rained that very night.

In times of helplessness,

A butterfly landed on top of the flower.

It lovingly fanned away the dewdrops on the petals with the tips of its wings.

"……Um."

She unconsciously gripped the short hair at the back of Tan Wen's head.

It was like grasping at a straw.

Tan asked that he did not feel any pain.

He stared intently at her radiant face, his eyes red.

His nose was already touching hers, almost reaching her lips.

I endured it all.

Finally, he just buried his head beside her face.

He placed a kiss on her soft earlobe.

Her fingers, which had been gripping his hair, slowly loosened, and her tense body relaxed. Her breathing went from heavy to light, and her long eyelashes stopped fluttering—she had fallen asleep.

Tan Wen sat up, his back already soaked with sweat. He leaned back in his chair, staring intently at his raised hand.

Spiderweb-like watermarks

It exudes an alluring aroma.

He pressed his thin lips close to his fingers,

He lowered his gaze, inch by inch.

They shamelessly devoured it.

Desire burned within him, but he had no time to release it.

Carefully tidying up Jiang Ni's clothes and fastening her seatbelt, Jiang Ni remained motionless throughout the entire process. She must have been extremely tired today, and... she was sleeping exceptionally soundly and peacefully.

Tan started the car and drove her back to her own house.

Because he also had a fingerprint password, he simply carried her inside to unlock the door and enter the house.

Jiang Ni woke up at noon.

She had no recollection of how she got back; her last memory was of sitting in Tan Wen's car.

Therefore, it can be deduced that Tan Wen brought her back, there's no doubt about it.

For some reason, she slept exceptionally well. She asked Fu Chenguang for leave, then leisurely headed to the bathroom to take a bath.

She took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. The water gently enveloped her body. She washed herself as usual, but her movements suddenly stopped.

...That's weird.

The man's deep voice echoed in my mind.

"Nini, who am I?"

"Yes, I am Tan Wen."

"It'll be over in a minute, close your eyes."

Jiang Ni's body, having just tasted the first hint of desire, trembled reflexively for a moment—but she didn't know the reason for this tremor.

She just felt that the dream was too real...

Aunt Zhou was cleaning the living room when she saw her come out of the bedroom and was very surprised: "Miss, when did you get back?"

"It's past midnight," Jiang Ni said, sitting down at the dining table. "Is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."

Aunt Zhou immediately went to the kitchen: "Yes, I'll make it for you right away."

Jiang Ni unlocked her phone and first saw the 200,000 yuan that Tong Zhou had returned to her, which she then transferred back to him.

He left a message saying: "Mr. Tong, we are not in a relationship where we can share this amount, please accept it."

Tong Zhou quickly replied: "Do I have a chance to upgrade our relationship to that level? Xiao Ni, I'm serious. I've always been busy studying, and even after I started working, I haven't met a girl I like. You're the first person who has made my heart flutter. I hope you can give me a chance to pursue you."

Jiang Ni's answer was decisive and straightforward: No chance, I'm sorry, we're not a good match.

She had agreed to have dinner with him yesterday, but today she was cold and distant. Tong Zhou still patiently asked, "Is it because of that man last night? Did you have dinner with me yesterday to make him jealous?"

Jiang Ni gripped her phone tightly—it was related to Tan Wen, but not to make him jealous.

It was raining that day, and Tan Wen came to pick her up. Only then did she remember that she hadn't removed the locator from her watch. Moreover, she had a bold idea—this locator could record sound.

When Tan Yan came to see her before, Tan Wen called her and asked, "Did my brother say anything else to you?" Perhaps it was a test.

So she also wanted to verify whether her idea was right or wrong.

That's one reason. Secondly, Xu Ke's suggestion that she try contacting another man had indeed taken root in her mind, and Tong Zhou just happened to come along, so she naturally agreed to his invitation.

She didn't directly answer Tong Zhou's question. After apologizing again, she deleted his chat box. Tong Zhou, being sensible, didn't send any more messages to bother her.

There were still unread messages from Tan Wen on my phone that I hadn't processed.

Jiang Ni clicked on it.

[Tan Wen]: Sister, remember to drink plenty of water after you wake up.

[Tan asked]: Those people were detained yesterday. Sister, think about it, do you still feel like anyone is following you?

[Tan asked]: Or think about who you ran into yesterday, otherwise the other person wouldn't know that you were watching a movie with someone else.

Jiang Ni looked at the message he sent and fell into deep thought.

There's probably no one tracking her. The Du family is too busy taking care of themselves; she hasn't run into any of their people in a long time.

Who did I see... yesterday... at the movie theater...?

Jiang Ni frowned slightly and typed two names in reply: Tan Yan and Shen Yunqing.
