Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

In the darkness of night,

"call……."

Shen Jun let out a long breath, looking like he still had lingering fear, and said, "Wow, Instructor, I was sweating bullets for you just now. Qi Jingtian's attitude was so domineering, like he had you completely under his thumb. I didn't expect this result. Instructor, you're awesome."

Xiao Zhan slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, then smiled calmly and said, "Hahaha, besides my wife, which woman in this world can handle me? Qi Jingtian still ended up running away in defeat. This kind of woman just likes to make a big fuss, all bark and no bite. As long as you are more ruthless and stronger than her, she will back down."

Shen Jun looked around and whispered, "Instructor, Qi Jingtian just said someone is going to see Qin Hanwen. Did she come here specifically to tip you off?"

Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "She wasn't tipping me off. She was reminding me that someone had asked her to help them meet Qin Hanwen, and that the other party had very powerful connections, so she couldn't refuse. That's why she came to tell me, to avoid any misunderstandings if I found out."

Shen Jun: "So Director Qi is actually a pretty good person."

Xiao Zhan chuckled and said, "What makes you think she's a good person? Is it because she's pretty? Has a good figure? Or is it because she holds a high position and still deigns to ask me to inform her?"

Shen Jun blushed and said, "Instructor, I was too arbitrary."

Xiao Zhan: "Actually, there was absolutely no need for her to tell me this kind of thing within the scope of her duties. It is true that Qin Hanwen is a criminal suspect, but according to relevant laws, lawyers and immediate family members can meet with him."

Shen Jun asked, puzzled, "Was Director Qi's reminder well-intentioned?"

Xiao Zhan took a deep drag of his cigarette, then flicked his finger. The cigarette butt flew out, tracing a beautiful arc in the air before landing precisely in a roadside trash can.

Xiao Zhan: "Her real intentions are not what they seem!"

After speaking, Xiao Zhan turned around and walked straight into the villa.

Shen Jun stood there, shaking his head, completely bewildered, and muttered to himself, "The instructor said Qi Jingtian's real intention wasn't what he intended to say, but what exactly did he mean?"

"Could there be another reason why Qi Jingtian came to see the instructor?"

At this moment, Hua Ying walked over and said, "Shen Jun, everyone is incredibly busy, even Huanhuan is out socializing. What are you doing standing at the gate in a daze? Or are you thinking about some woman?"

Shen Jun was immediately speechless and quickly explained, "Wife, how could I possibly think about other women? I'm content with just you. Heaven and earth can bear witness to my feelings for you."

Hua Ying said coquettishly, "You men's mouths are all lies. They say if you could trust a man, pigs would fly. You trick a woman into your hands and then deny everything."

"I clearly saw a pretty policewoman talking to you just now. You're quick on your feet. You slept with me last night and hooked up with a pretty policewoman today, and she even came to my door."

Shen Jun's face immediately darkened further, and he quickly explained, "Honey, you've misunderstood. That policewoman was Director Qi from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. She came to talk to the instructor about something. Didn't you see the instructor just go in?"

Hua Ying looked at Shen Jun with some disbelief and asked, "You're really not lying to me? I saw you talking to the policewoman. I happened to need to use the restroom, so I went to the toilet. When I came out, I saw you standing alone at the gate. I didn't see Young Master Xiao go in."

"You said it's Director Qi, so where is she?"

Shen Jun: "She left after talking to the instructor. She's a vice-ministerial level leader. If I invited her in for a drink to warm up, what if she was worried about poisoning the drink? Do you think I would dare to talk to her? Besides, we're not even in the same league. She's a high-ranking, influential figure."

Hua Ying: "Is Director Qi very bureaucratic?"

Shen Jun laughed and said, "No matter how bureaucratic or powerful she is, she still got roasted by the instructor and had to run away in defeat. You didn't see how powerful the instructor was just now. His aura was so strong that he completely suppressed Director Qi. Moreover, he controlled the situation perfectly. Director Qi didn't gain any advantage and left in a sorry state."

Hua Ying exclaimed excitedly, "Really? Tell me what happened!"

Young people these days are most enthusiastic about gossiping...

Shen Jun looked at Hua Ying, whose pretty face was flushed red from the night wind. She had just been helping with the barbecue, and her little hands were red from the cold. Shen Jun couldn't help but hug Hua Ying, who jumped in fright and said coquettishly, "Shen Jun, what are you doing? Aren't you afraid someone will see us?"

Shen Jun whispered in her ear, "I'm not afraid. You're my wife, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Hua Ying deliberately teased Shen Jun, saying, "Stop, stop, stop! I haven't agreed to marry you yet. Don't keep calling me 'wife' so casually, or people will think we've already registered our marriage."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jun's eyes lit up and he quickly said, "Wife, let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow, okay?"

Hua Ying rolled her eyes and said, "You want to get married after only dating for a few months? Dream on! What do you have to offer me? Do you have a house? Do you have a car? Do you have money for a dowry?"

Shen Jun, always an honest and upright man, touched his nose and chuckled, "Hehe, you still want a bride price?"

Hua Ying suddenly struggled free from Shen Jun's embrace, and pretended to be angry, saying, "Shen Jun, what do you mean? Which girl doesn't want a bride price these days? No matter how much the groom gives, it's a form of recognition for the girl, a sign of respect for the girl's family, and it looks respectable to outsiders. It's also a sign of the groom's attitude and sincerity towards the girl."

Shen Jun asked timidly, "How much dowry do you want?"

Hua Ying deliberately said, "One million."

Shen Jun was stunned and stammered, "Does it require such a large dowry?"

Hua Ying rolled her eyes and said, "What? Am I not worth a million? I earn a million a year now, don't you think I deserve a million-dollar dowry to marry me?"

Shen Jun said with a serious expression, "Hua Ying, you are worth more than a million; in my heart, you are priceless."

"But I don't have a million right now. My mother was sick and had surgery a while ago, and all my savings went to her medical treatment."

Hua Ying deliberately said, "Then you can borrow from Xiao Zhan. With your relationship with him, you could borrow five million or even ten million without any problem, let alone one million."

Shen Jun looked troubled and said, "Isn't that a bad idea? The instructor just gave us both a luxury villa to live in. If I borrow so much money from him again, wouldn't that be ungrateful? People who don't know better will think I'm greedy."

Hua Ying: "I don't care, you have to give me a million yuan as a bride price, otherwise, let's just part ways amicably."

Shen Jun stared blankly at Hua Ying in front of him, thinking of how Hua Ying had writh and writhed beneath him last night, and how she had finally given in and begged him to stop when she couldn't take it anymore. Her tearful appearance at that time truly broke his heart.

Hua Ying noticed that Shen Jun was staring at her without saying a word.

So he pressed again, "Shen Jun, why aren't you saying anything? Are you going to give me a million-yuan dowry or not?"
