Take her as my wife

After finishing his speech, Tan Wen straightened his back, looked straight ahead, raised his arm sharply to salute the camera, and then strode off the stage.

Jiang Ni saved a screenshot of what had just happened and typed six words in the comments: Officer Tan is so handsome.

However, her comments were quickly overwhelmed by other comments. Jiang Ni didn't care and left the live stream only after the last veteran finished speaking.

After Tan Wen stepped off the stage, he found Feng Yin backstage and said, "Send me a copy of the live replay."

"it is good."

He had just taken off his coat and draped it over his arm when his advisor came over and pulled him aside: "You look as handsome as ever today! Come on, let's have dinner with the leaders..."

Tan asked, "..." He just wanted to go back and get his phone to chat with his wife.

However, due to social obligations, he had no choice but to go, so he cooperated and went with the counselor.

Unexpectedly, he saw Xie Tao at the dinner party, as well as the police chief from whom Tan Wen had interned during the summer vacation. The chief calmly nodded slightly to him, and Tan Wen politely nodded in response before taking his seat with his advisor.

At this large round table for twenty people, everyone was dressed in military uniform, and each of them had a special status, which made Tan Wen, a student without a police rank, stand out.

However, he was not at all flustered or nervous, and ate his meal with composure. If a leader spoke, he would put down his chopsticks and listen attentively; if someone posed a topic to him, he could express his views concisely and humbly.

As they chatted, the atmosphere warmed up, and the topics gradually became more relaxed and mundane.

Someone asked, "Xiao Tan, do you have a boyfriend yet?"

Tan nodded: "I've got it."

"Oh? From our school or another school?"

Tan Wen frankly said, "She's a few years older than me and is already working."

He seems to be a mature and steady person, so it makes perfect sense that he found an older girlfriend.

"It's good to be older. After you graduate, you should settle down and start a family as soon as possible, and then come to the police force to serve the people."

Hearing this, Tan Wen rarely raised the corners of his lips slightly: "I do want to get married right after graduation, thank you for your kind words."

After dining with various leaders until nearly 2 a.m., Tan Wen finally managed to slip away.

The counselor offered to drive him back to school, and Tan suddenly asked, "Ming-ge, how did I do with my task today?"

The moment he called out "Brother Ming," the counselor knew what "bad" idea he was up to and replied warily, "He's alright."

Tan Wen continued to press the issue: "Since it's alright, then Brother Ming, give me a little something extra—I'm planning to go see my girlfriend this afternoon, and I'll definitely be back before nine o'clock tonight."

"Can he really be back before nine o'clock?" The counselor was skeptical.

What can he do if he doesn't come back? He won't get any food anyway.

Tan nodded: "Yes, I promise."

"Go ahead, go ahead..."

Tan Wen took a taxi and left, making a phone call to Jiang Ni while in the car.

"Hello," Jiang Ni said, somewhat surprised, "Why are you calling me at this hour?"

"You did well this morning, so your advisor gave me a half-day off—didn't your sister say she wanted to eat fish the other day? Tell Aunt Zhou not to cook tonight, and I'll cook fish for you."

"I want to eat fish" was probably just something Jiang Ni said casually at the time. Jiang Ni herself didn't even remember it, but he still remembered it. It felt like a kitten had scratched Jiang Ni's heart, making it strangely itchy.

"Next time, I want to eat hot pot tonight," she said. "Let's go to the same place we ate at last time, I thought it was pretty good."

Valentine's Day had been over for a while, and Tan didn't think much of it: "Okay, I'll call and reserve a table right away."

There were still a few hours until dinnertime, so he asked again, "Is my sister home now?"

"Um, do you want to come over?"

"Come."

Since he was coming, Jiang Ni went downstairs to the fruit shop and bought some oranges, bananas, and grapes. Tan Wen only liked oranges, while Jiang Ni loved all kinds of fruit, but she was very picky when eating oranges. She would only eat them if all the white pith was completely peeled off.

Tan Wen unlocked the door with his fingerprint, while Jiang Ni was washing grapes in the kitchen.

She was pampered from a young age. Before she left the Jiang family to "set up her own household," Jiang Qiaonan hired many nannies to take care of her daily life. In addition, she herself exuded the temperament of a rich young lady, so she was completely unrelated to the word "housework." Standing in the kitchen, she always felt a bit awkward and clumsy.

"Sister, let me do it."

Jiang Ni was slightly taken aback: "Oh..."

She gave up her spot, but didn't leave; she stood beside him and watched him operate the machine.

Tan added some flour to the water and said, "Sister, you can sit down and wait for me."

Jiang Ni shook her head: "Let me see, and learn from it."

Her housework skills definitely need improvement, and she is aware of that.

Tan Wen naturally replied, "Sister doesn't need to learn these things at all."

Anyway, he knows how to do it, so the only reason Jiang Ni will appear in the kitchen in the future is definitely because he wants to play some "apron" play with her in the kitchen or something...

Jiang Ni had no idea that while he was seriously washing grapes, he was actually thinking about lewd things.

Carrying the washed grapes back to the living room, Tan Wen also saw the oranges that were obviously newly bought, and was overjoyed: "Sister, do you want some oranges? I'll peel them."

He knew Jiang Ni didn't eat the orange pith, so he peeled each segment cleanly before handing it to her. As for the ones he ate, he just peeled them and stuffed them into his mouth in a few bites.

"Did you watch the live stream today, sister?"

Jiang Ni nodded and said truthfully, "I saw it, Officer Tan is very popular."

Tan placed a freshly peeled orange in her hand: "Is it tall? The video of my sister playing the violin at her graduation ceremony has now surpassed a million likes."

"...How come I didn't know there was a video?" Jiang Ni never played with campus posts when she was in school, but she was even more surprised that Tan Wen had actually searched for and watched it, even though she had graduated a long time ago.

She suddenly remembered a question—when did Tan Wen start liking her?

Tan Wen didn't dwell on the topic, because the comments under the video were all calling her "wife," so he vaguely brushed it off: "Yes, but I'm not as popular as my sister—why didn't I see Aunt Zhou?"

Jiang Ni explained Aunt Zhou's situation, but Tan Wen was concerned about who would take care of you these next few days.

"I'm 26 years old, not 2. I can take care of myself and order food from private chefs."

That's all we can do. If his school weren't so strict, he could come and cook and do her laundry every day.

Jiang Ni changed the subject: "By the way, what events did you sign up for at the sports meet?"

Tan Wen reported to her: "3000-meter long-distance run, 4x100 relay, pull-ups, and cross-country obstacle course with full gear."

All of them are projects that sound very strenuous.

Jiang Ni has average athletic talent; the 800-meter race was the only event she ever failed.

She sighed, "If I had met you sooner, I probably wouldn't have failed my 800-meter race."

Tan Wen chuckled lightly, his words carrying a hidden meaning: "Any earlier, I'd still be a minor, sister."

When he said this, he deliberately brought his face close to Jiang Ni's. Jiang Ni didn't flinch. She blinked, and her heart skipped a beat.

At such close range, their breaths mingled, and both of them had exceptionally beautiful features; their high, straight noses were almost touching.

Tan Wen was the first to step back.

As he turned his head, he clicked his tongue, his voice slightly unnatural: "Sister, it's almost time, let's go out."

Jiang Ni then came to her senses.

"Hmm... okay."

She stood up: "I'm going to change my clothes."

As soon as she left, Tan Wen let out a sharp breath, got up to pour himself a glass of cold water and gulped it down. He lowered his head and silently cursed in his mind—"Damn it."

The reaction was too strong.

He could only walk towards the bathroom.

Jiang Ni usually uses the bathroom in her own bedroom, but for some reason today, she took a shower in the bathroom outside.

Because there were still her clothes in the laundry basket.

Tan Wen's dark eyes narrowed.

...Isn't that a bit too perverted?

He hesitated for a moment.

Another voice said: Stop pretending, pick it up and get to work!
