Take her as my wife

Jiang Ni walked over and gently grasped his wrist with her cool hand, then touched his fist. Tan Wen obediently loosened his fist, letting her insert her fingers between his fingers and hold his hand.

"Have you calmed down?"

"Um……"

Tan Wen stood up and looked down at the injury on her face.

Jiang Ni comforted him, "It's not serious. Look, there's no more blood."

"It got soaked in the rain..." Tan Wen was heartbroken, but he could only force himself to stay calm, not wanting her to get hurt and then worry about losing control of his emotions. "Let's go to the hospital."

"Hmm, let's wait for the police to arrive," Jiang Ni said, more concerned about his injuries. "Where were you stabbed?"

He was wearing black clothes, and after the rain, nothing could be seen. But Jiang Ni knew he had been stabbed. She had seen it clearly at the time; the knife the man had stabbed into his body was covered in blood.

Tan Wen didn't care about his injuries at all: "I won't die, I'm tough."

Jiang Ni pinched his fingers: "Lift up your shirt and let me see. Stop pretending to be cool."

Tan Wen enjoyed being lectured by her and seeing her feel sorry for him, so he obediently cooperated, lifting his clothes and turning slightly to the side: "It seems like my kidney was stabbed."

Jiang Ni did see a rather deep cut on his lower back.

He was incredibly patient; he didn't utter a sound even after being stabbed.

But how could Jiang Ni not be moved or feel sorry for her when she saw her injured and screaming at the top of her lungs?

She was anxious to take him to the hospital, but luckily, footsteps approached from afar, and the one running in front was a familiar face—Xie Tao.

"Senior brother, we called the police as soon as we set off. Your response time is worrying..." Tan Wen joked.

Xie Tao explained helplessly, "Halfway through the drive, it started pouring rain. My luck was incredibly bad; a tree was blown down by the strong wind, causing a huge traffic jam!"

He gave a signal to his men, and two detectives immediately went to lift up the culprit who had been beaten beyond recognition by Tan Wen.

"Hurry up and get to the hospital. You've done a great job this time. Wait for your reward later."

Tan Wen had no interest in the prize Xie Tao mentioned. He said goodbye to Xie Tao and quickly took Jiang Ni to the hospital in the ambulance parked outside.

A dozen minutes later, at xx Hospital.

"Doctor, will it leave a scar? Will it need stitches? Please be careful, don't hurt my sister..."

The doctor gave him a disapproving look, but still patiently answered his questions one by one: "The wound is shallow, it won't leave a scar, and there's no need for stitches—the patient didn't even cry out in pain, so please keep quiet and don't add to their psychological burden."

Jiang Ni's wound was treated quickly. A gauze was applied to her right cheek, and she only needed to change the dressing twice more. She would recover completely in three days at most.

Tan Wen, on the other hand, was much more seriously injured.

"The scalpel tip pierced his kidney, thankfully not too deep, otherwise it would have been a bigger problem—remember to take the anti-inflammatory medication. The dressing change schedule is written on the form. Family members can prepare some kidney-tonifying and qi-boosting soup for him. He can come for a follow-up check-up in two weeks."

Jiang Ni nodded and replied, "Okay, thank you."

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Ni took a taxi and gave the driver an extra 500 yuan because their clothes were soaked and they had inevitably dirtied the driver's car.

As soon as he got in the car, Tan asked, his displeasure evident in his eyes, "What does that doctor mean?"

Jiang Ni glanced sideways, waiting for him to continue: "Hmm?"

"What do you mean by 'tonifying the kidneys and nourishing qi'? He's calling me kidney deficient!"

She had heard Liu Jiaren say that men are very concerned about this kind of issue, so she could only coax him: "...The doctor only said that you damaged your kidneys, not that you have kidney deficiency. These are two different things, and you are in very good health, there is no doubt about that."

Who knew Tan Wen would start acting inappropriately again.

"How does my sister know I'm in good health? She's never even tried it."

The driver in front peeked at them through the rearview mirror, and Jiang Ni gently pinched his arm: "Shut up."

Tan Wen rested his head on her shoulder, chuckled twice, but then quieted down.

Jiang Ni had just visited Xiao Wen at the hospital. Xiao Wen's parents had received the news and rushed to the hospital to take care of her, so Jiang Ni left with peace of mind.

Much of the information Xiaowen gave the murderer was false. Although she was from out of town, she wasn't from the countryside; her whole family had lived in Yicheng for over ten years. Xiaowen simply rented a place to live on her own for work convenience.

Her wit and composure were the biggest factors in her escape from death.

Back home, Jiang Ni quickly found a bathrobe and stuffed it into Tan Wen's hands: "Go take a shower, turn the water temperature up a bit."

This bathrobe looks very large; it's a men's style.

Tan Wen narrowed his eyes, didn't move, and said sourly, "I don't wear what my brother has worn."

Jiang Ni gently soothed him, saying, "He hasn't worn this before; it's brand new."

"But it was bought for him to wear, right?"

"Yes," Jiang Ni sighed, pushing him towards the bathroom, "I'll take you to buy a new one in your size tomorrow—now, hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes."

Jiang Ni went back to her bedroom to take a bath. When she came out, Tan Wen was already waiting for her in the living room.

"Sister, come here and have a cup of cold medicine first, just in case—I'll blow-dry your hair."

Jiang Ni sat down in a chair with a glass in her hand, taking sips of her medicine. The cold medicine had a slightly sweet taste. Tan Wen turned on the hairdryer and began to gently blow-dry her hair.

My heart even felt sweet.

She heard Tan Wen's voice from above: "Next time, no matter what happens, please prioritize your own safety, okay?"

She tilted her head slightly to look at him: "How could that be, Tan Wen? Although I'm not very good at dating, I know that love should be mutual. If I can calmly watch you get hurt, then I definitely don't love you."

As soon as she said this, she froze, and Tan Wen's fingers stopped moving.

She just used the word "love".

Tan Wen gently pinched her chin with one hand and leaned down to kiss her lips.

"Say it again, sister... say you love me."

Jiang Ni pursed her lips: "I didn't say that..."

The young man feigned a hurt and aggrieved expression on his handsome, aloof face: "Don't you love me, sister?"

"...That's not what I meant either."

Jiang Ni has never said the words "I love you" to anyone.

He had no parents, no friends, and certainly no Tan Yan.

She didn't know how to string those three simple words together and say them.

Tan Wen didn't press her to say those three words again, but in the latter half of the night, until her hair was dry and they were standing at their respective room doors about to say goodnight, Tan Wen was particularly downcast and didn't say much.

Jiang Ni returned to her room and took out her phone to seek help from relationship guru Liu Jiaren.

She briefly explained the situation, then asked: How can I make him happy, besides saying "I love you"?

[Jiajia]: There are so many methods, wait, I'll send you something good.

[Jiajia]: "Learn These Tricks to Use Men Like Lazy Beasts (PDF)"

Jiang Ni: ...Where did you get all these strange things?

[Jiajia]: Having many skills is never a burden (smile.JPG)

After sending the document, Liu Jiaren said: "I'm going to have some nightlife with my Jiang Fengyu now, bye~"

Although Jiang Ni had never been pregnant, she had common sense and nervously reminded her: try to avoid sexual intercourse during early pregnancy!

[Jiajia]: Silly Nini, there are many ways to do this! You should study hard first, bye~

Jiang Ni: ………?

Jiang Ni thought of the "new knowledge" that Tan Wen had sent her before.

Making handicrafts and stuff... food and stuff...

She calmed herself down and opened the "study materials" that Liu Jiaren had sent her.

There are even color illustrations... but they're comic book versions, so they're more palatable.

The first move Jiang Ni saw on the first page was: "Do, Hand, Work, Five, Types, Hand, Methods".

After just two minutes of browsing, the academically gifted lawyer Jiang had grasped most of the information.

Her ears turned red, but she was having second thoughts.

But then, Liu Jiaren reappeared:

[Jiajia]: I forgot to mention, this handsome younger brother is really reliable. I feel like you are his destiny—I agree to this marriage.

Jiang Ni's heart softened when she saw the words "You are his life".

...Oh well, I guess I'll just stick to crafts.

As long as I can make him happy, that's all that matters.

She put down her phone, put on her slippers, and went to Tan Wen's room.

"Knock knock—"

"Tan Wen... open the door, I need to talk to you about something."
