So what if I only have a junior college degree? It won't stop me from marrying the bureau chief

Faced with Lin Mu's highly aggressive gaze, Jiang Wan took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

"Yes, but..."

Jiang Wan raised her chin, her bright eyes flashing.

"If you can cross the line less often in the future and behave yourself like you did this afternoon, we might become friends."

"friend?"

Lin Mu was stunned when he heard this word.

He looked at Jiang Wan, who had a serious expression on her face, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha ha……"

"Um?"

Hearing Lin Mu's laughter, Jiang Wan frowned slightly.

"What are you laughing at? Is it funny to be my friend?!"

"I want to be your husband, but you want to be my friend? Boyfriend? ...Not impossible."

Lin Mu smiled and shook his head, but on the surface he shrugged indifferently.

"Okay, friends it is. So, as a friend, it's settled then, you help me sell campus cards."

"Hmph! You're not even my friend! And don't even think about getting my labor for free; you have to pay me!"

Jiang Wan glared at him defiantly.

Lin Mu leaned back in his seat.

"Okay, here's the paycheck."

Consider it an advance dowry.

After the bus arrived at the station, Lin Qian, who was still half asleep, was woken up by the two people.

"Sister Wan'er, have we arrived yet?"

Lin Qian rubbed her eyes and followed Jiang Wan off the bus like a little shadow.

After getting off the bus, Jiang Wan looked at the sky and then at Lin Qian, who looked sleepy.

Finally, she turned to look at Lin Mu.

"Xiaoqian is too tired today, let her sleep at my house tonight."

After saying that, Jiang Wan took Lin Qian's hand, and before leaving, she turned back and gave Lin Mu a playful smile.

"Lin Mu, put Xiao Qian's accommodation fee on your tab. Remember to give me a generous amount when I get paid."

"no problem!"

Lin Mu waved his hand magnanimously.

"I'll give you an extra ten yuan!"

"You stingy person!"

Jiang Wan scolded him playfully, then smiled and led Lin Qian home.

Watching the two leave, Lin Mu grinned.

"Not only did they bring Wanza under their wing, but they also managed to infiltrate their younger sister into the 'enemy' ranks. This is a huge win!"

Lin Mu hummed a song contentedly and turned to wait for the bus.

However, Lin Mu's good mood did not last long.

When he returned home humming a little tune, he was greeted by Zhou Yiyun and her "ultimate imperial weapon" feather duster.

"Lin Mu!"

When Zhou Yiyun heard Lin Mu say that Lin Qian had stayed at Jiang Wan's house again, he immediately got so angry that he pointed a feather duster at him.

"You brat, did you bully her? Lin Qian hasn't stayed home a single night since she arrived! It must be your fault!"

"Holy crap?!"

Lin Mu took a step back in disbelief, realizing how much more wronged Lin Qian felt on the day she arrived—a feeling akin to "more wronged than Dou E."

"Mom! She insisted on going home with Jiang Wan, how can you blame me for that?!"

"You're definitely up to no good! You stop right there!"

"Wow! I'm totally impressed!!!"

In the old residential building, another scene of "he runs, she chases, he can't escape" unfolded.

……

There's not much to say about time; sometimes it goes by quickly, and sometimes it goes by slowly. I don't know why.

Before they knew it, it was time for Jiang Wan's graduation banquet.

As the daughter of the director of the Lin'an Public Security Bureau and a top student who was admitted to Lin'an University with exceptionally high scores, Jiang Wan's graduation banquet was naturally very dignified.

11:30 a.m., Xizi Hotel.

At the entrance to the banquet hall, Jiang Wan wore a custom-made pure white off-the-shoulder dress, her hands clasped in front of her lower abdomen.

Her perfect collarbone was faintly visible, and her stunning face made people feel that even looking at her was a desecration.

Beside her, a cheerful mascot was whispering something in her ear.

After spending a few days together, Lin Qian completely fell for Jiang Wan, and the two became inseparable best friends.

"Hey, hello Aunt Song."

"Kobayashi is here."

"elder brother!"

Just then, a figure walked towards the entrance, bathed in sunlight.

Lin Mu was wearing a rather exquisite black suit, and even his hair had been styled specially.

Lin Mu first greeted Song Muwan on his right, then looked at Jiang Wan and Lin Qian on his left.

"Bro, you look pretty respectable today."

Lin Qian smiled and circled around him.

"Get lost, if you can't praise someone, then shut up."

Lin Mu rolled his eyes at Lin Qian, then looked at Jiang Wan and grinned.

"Wan... Jiang Wan, congratulations!"

If Song Muwan hadn't been there, Lin Mu would have really wanted to utter a few "flirtatious" lines, but for now he just cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Jiang Wan.

"Thanks."

Jiang Wan smiled politely at him. Similarly, if Song Muwan hadn't been there, she certainly wouldn't have been as calm as she was now.

"Xiaolin, didn't your parents come?"

Song Muwan smiled and came to Lin Mu's side.

"They said they weren't coming to join in the fun, and asked me to wish Jiang Wan all the best for her future and for all her endeavors."

Jiang Wan smiled and curtsied.

"Please thank Uncle Lin and Aunt Zhou for me."

"Sure, sure. Where's Uncle Jiang? I'll go say hello."

Lin Mu looked around but couldn't find his father-in-law.

"Dad is inside receiving VIPs."

"VIP? How expensive is it?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu scratched his chin with great interest.

Jiang Wan tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Hmm...it seems there's a former provincial public security bureau chief, a municipal party secretary, a mayor, and the chairman of Wanma Group..."

"..."

Upon hearing those identities, Lin Mu's lips twitched, and then he silently knelt down next to Lin Qian.

"Okay, that's enough."

"Hehe, why are you looking so down, bro?"

Lin Qian kicked Lin Mu, who was standing next to her feet, in a cheeky manner.

"Lin Qian, are you coming home or not? My mom insists it's because of you that you're not coming back. Do you know how many beatings I've received these past few days?"

Lin Mu gave her an impatient shove.

"Omitted~"

Lin Qian stuck out her little tongue and moved closer to Jiang Wan.

"Haha, Xiaolin, if you have a chance next time, could you ask your mom if Xiaoqian could recognize me as her godmother? Auntie really likes Xiaoqian so much!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qian immediately changed her tune and ran to Song Muwan's side, clinging to her arm in a coquettish manner.

"Auntie, I like you too~ I've got it written down, Auntie, you can't go back on your word~"

"No regrets, no regrets."

Song Muwan smiled and gently patted Lin Qian's head.

These past few days, Lin Qian hasn't just been eating and doing nothing at Jiang Wan's house. She not only keeps Jiang Wan company and keeps Song Muwan company, but she also occasionally goes into the kitchen to help with cooking, and even helps Jiang Lin'an take care of the flowers and plants...

Jiang Wan's entire family spoke highly of Lin Qian, and Song Muwan had proposed to adopt her as her goddaughter more than once.

Seeing this, Lin Mu curled his lip in disdain.

"Pshaw, if my little sister were transported into a palace drama, she'd definitely survive to the very end."

"Brother Lin, we're here!"
