Using power to force marriage

He has a meeting with someone in New York at 11 o'clock, which will probably last for two hours. Zhao Jingnian doesn't plan to let Ruan Fu stay up with him any longer.

"You go to sleep first, and I'll go to the study for the meeting after you're asleep."

Ruan Fu tugged at his clothes, trying to stop him from leaving. "No, you can only stay by my side. You can't go anywhere."

"I'm afraid of disturbing you."

"No, I'm a very heavy sleeper, and you don't talk loudly in meetings, so it won't bother me." She just wanted to stay by Zhao Jingnian's side all the time.

"Okay, then you go to sleep, I won't go anywhere."

Ruan Fu shrank into the quilt, one arm across his waist, trying to fall asleep while tracing the contours of his well-defined muscles with her fingertips.

Not at all settled.

His muscles were firm and full, and his skin was delicate and smooth, feeling very comfortable to touch.

Ruan Fu gently closed her eyes and couldn't help but smile, saying lazily, "Brother Jingnian, your abs feel so good to touch."

He has a great physique, runs and swims every week, and eats a very healthy and regular diet.

"Go to sleep, what are you doing touching me like that?"

"But I can only fall asleep when I'm touching your abs."

She continued to gently rub her fingertips, saying, "You're usually so busy that you barely have time to breathe, yet you still manage to find the energy to exercise. You're so disciplined."

Ruan Fu was blunt: "Did you get such a great figure to please me?"

"Yes, to please you."

He indulged her, answered her questions in a way that pleased her.

Zhao Jingnian has a young and beautiful wife, while he is already over thirty. Not only is he at a disadvantage in terms of age, but if he doesn't pay attention to his physique, how can he be worthy of her?

Despite the strong winds and rain last night, Ruan Fu slept soundly in Zhao Jingnian's arms, sleeping peacefully until dawn.

The sky was bright and clear at dawn, as a torrential downpour overnight had thoroughly cleansed the entire city.

The summer heat was largely dissipated by the rain, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of earth and grass.

She slept very well last night and woke up feeling refreshed.

Zhao Jingnian got up early and ran on the treadmill for an hour. After taking a shower and changing his clothes, he glanced back at the master bedroom before leaving.

They discovered she was already awake.

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

It's not even eight o'clock yet, which is quite early considering her usual routine.

"I'm not sleepy anymore."

She sat up in bed and excitedly shared her dream from the previous night with him.

"I dreamt yesterday that we went surfing and danced on the beach in bikinis. It was so much fun."

Zhao Jingnian listened to her sharing with great interest. "Want to go out and have some fun?"

She nodded. "Yes, I want to go with you."

They didn't go on a honeymoon after their marriage. Zhao Jingnian said he would make it up to her at the end of the year.

"I'll take you to an island vacation when I have some free time."

She can go wherever she wants then.

Ruan Fu: "Could you come home earlier tonight too?"

Zhao Jingnian had already checked the weather forecast when he got up early, and it said, "It won't rain today."

Upon hearing this, she frowned, looking somewhat unhappy.

"Does it only rain when you come home early to be with me?"

She found that the old man was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Sometimes he was quite understanding and would say things to make her happy, but other times he was very insensitive and said things that were very unpleasant to hear.

They still need to be disciplined.

"Forget it, go ahead and reply if you want."

She pouted sarcastically, repeating what he had just said, "Anyway, it's not going to rain today~"

She just wanted Zhao Jingnian to spend more time with her; she wanted to touch his abs every night before falling asleep, and it had nothing to do with whether it rained or not.

"Hmph~ I hate you."

Zhao Jingnian found her very interesting; her emotions were unpredictable, changing faster than the weather in Beicheng.

Today's work is also very demanding. There's a project in Jiangcheng that I need to visit on-site, and I'll have to go back and forth in one day, so I probably won't be back until very late.

"Then I'll try to get back as soon as possible." With that, he turned to leave.

"Zhao Jingnian!"

Just as he lifted his foot, Ruan Fu raised her voice to stop him, "Did you water the flowers for me this morning?"

"Yes, your flowers are all blooming exceptionally well."

"Did you feed them using Bubbles and the copy-paste method?"

"Yes, they've already eaten and are playing downstairs."

She was annoyed by Zhao Jingnian's words, "It won't rain today," so she racked her brains to find a way to annoy him.

"What about my food?"

"I made sandwiches and washed your favorite fruit. I left them in the downstairs dining room. Just have them with some milk."

Ruan Fu wanted to find fault, but he was perfect in everything he did, leaving her with nothing to criticize.

"It's getting late, Xiao Fu, I really have to go."

Ruan Fu, her tone clearly showing dissatisfaction, called him back once more.

"But you forgot to give me a good morning kiss."

A good morning kiss? Forgot?

He chuckled. "When were these rules set?"

Ruan Fu: "Now."

She sat cross-legged on the bed, her expression haughty. "Starting today, you have to give me a good morning kiss and a good night kiss every day, without fail."

Zhao Jingnian leaned closer and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Will this work?"

Alright, considering how accommodating he was and how patiently he fulfilled all her requests, Ruan Fu decided not to hold it against him.

After getting up and washing up, I drove to Meng Shutan's studio.

The butterfly brooch she ordered here a few days ago is finished, and Ruan Fu has come to pick it up.

The brooch was beautifully made, exactly matching her design.

Meng Shutan: "Zhao Jingnian will be so touched to receive your gift."

Ruan Fu put the brooch into the box, eager for Zhao Jingnian to try it on.

"By the way, Fufu, there was a lot of thunder and lightning and it rained heavily yesterday. Were you scared?"

Knowing that Ruan Fu was afraid of thunderstorms, she asked her about it with concern.

After saying that, Ruan Fu couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and show off in front of her.

"Although the wind and rain were heavy last night, I didn't hear a single clap of thunder while I was nestled in my husband's arms."

She gave a mischievous look, "I slept so soundly while touching my abs."

Upon hearing this, Meng Shutan seemed to have been wound up and triggered a screaming mode.

"Fufu! You have no shame!"

Ruan Fu raised an eyebrow at her, "It was you who insisted on asking."

Meng Shutan chided, "I was just trying to be nice to you, but I ended up being fed dog food instead. You really are my best friend."

I've heard rumors that Zhao Jingnian's heart is like an ice lake, cold and aloof, and he seems like someone who wouldn't care about others.

Many people in the industry privately discussed how Zhao Jingnian and his wife would get along, and the conclusion was summed up in four words: "distant and polite".

Meng Shutan: "Where did these rumors come from? Zhao Jingnian is clearly very caring. The way you two get along can only be described as sweet and loving."

Ruan Fu couldn't hide the pride on her face at all. "That's because I trained her well."

"Yes, you've trained him well. And he's willing to be trained by you."

Following her lead, Meng Shutan teased, "That's what they call 'one thing subdues another,' like braising tofu in water."
