It was a fool's dream to think of obtaining happiness without giving it a try.
Jiang Zhen put his life on the line and placed a rather big bet.
Jiang Zhen just knelt there, staring straight at Han Yueyun, waiting for his answer.
Han Yueyun suddenly felt that those two pieces of paper weighed 500 kilograms. He leaned back and looked up at the Chinese ceiling lamp in the study room. He stared at the river above and sighed. “Young man, you win.”
Jiang Zhen's face was instantly filled with ecstasy.
He hurriedly kowtowed to Han Yueyun and said gratefully, “Thank you, Uncle Han!”
Han Yueyun waved his hand and said, “Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I will keep your confession and hide it somewhere you will never find it. My eyes will always be on you. Jiang Zhen, if you dare to abandon my daughter, hurt her, let her down, and don't treat her well, I will never be merciful.”
“If you love my daughter and respect her, I will treat you like my own child. If you let my daughter down, I will treat you like a criminal.”
“My Han Family doesn't favor boys over girls. Even if my Han Family's daughter marries out, she's still my Han Family's child. In the future, when we split the family a.s.sets, the children will all be equally divided. So don't think that me marrying off my Han Family's daughter in your arms is like water splashed out, so you look down on her and neglect her.”
Han Yueyun still clearly remembered that when Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g was just born, she was only five pounds and was carefully carried in his arms. How did the child reach the age of marriage in the blink of an eye?
Han Yueyun couldn't help feeling slightly hurt when he told Jiang Zhen about these things, so his tone was inevitably solemn and stern.
Han Yueyun's words were more of a threat than a request.
Jiang Zhen listened quietly. He didn't feel indignant at being bullied. Instead, his heart burned with pride for being able to get a daughter who grew up in such a loving family.
“Uncle Han, don't worry. I know w.a.n.gw.a.n.g is the pearl of the Han Family. I won't neglect her.”
“Hmph, I hope you will do as you say.”
After acknowledging Jiang Zhen, he, Jiang Zhen, was a family member. The Han Family had always been protective of their own family members. Han Yueyun looked at the young man in front of him in satisfaction and said with a smile, “I did something wrong with the truth serum, but I hope you don't bear a grudge and understand my feelings as a father.”
“Uncle Han, don't worry. I won't blame you.”
“Mmm, go out. That girl must be waiting outside, afraid that I will eat you.” Han Yueyun felt a tightness in his chest. When Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g was young, he was the most important man in her eyes. In the blink of an eye, she started to side with him.
She was really grown up and couldn't be kept.
Jiang Zhen took his leave.
He opened the door of the study and saw Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g leaning against the wall opposite the corridor. She was playing with her cell phone with her head lowered. It looked like she was chatting with someone.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g hurriedly looked up at Jiang Zhen. Seeing that Jiang Zhen walked out unscathed, Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g was relieved.
She observed Jiang Zhen's expression and guessed if things were going smoothly. Seeing that Jiang Zhen didn't look defeated and instead looked energetic, Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g guessed the outcome and couldn't help sighing in relief.
“Did my father acknowledge you?”
Jiang Zhen nodded. “Mmm.”
“How did you do it?”
Jiang Zhen had taken the truth serum and every word he spoke was true. But he didn't want Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g to know the secret between him and Han Yueyun, so he shut his mouth tightly and didn't speak.
Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g saw that she couldn't pry the contents out of Jiang Zhen's mouth, so she asked another question. “How's the discussion going?”
Jiang Zhen turned and looked at the study room. Seeing that the door was closed and that Han Yueyun would not come out for a while, he suddenly pressed Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g into his arms.
Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g's nose hit Jiang Zhen's collarbone and it started to ache. However, Jiang Zhen's brisk voice sounded above her head. “He has already agreed to marry you to me.”
Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g instantly looked up from Jiang Zhen's arms. Looking up, she could see Jiang Zhen's sparkling and happy hazel eyes. Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g squeezed Jiang Zhen's waist with both hands and asked, “Really?”
Jiang Zhen said, “Why would I lie to you!”
Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g was so happy that her face was red.
She buried her head in Jiang Zhen's neck and rubbed it coquettishly. “Jiang Zhen, you are so awesome. How did you do it? You are so awesome!”
She thought that if Jiang Zhen wanted to successfully convince her father to agree to their deal, he would have to shed a layer of skin and bleed. But she didn't expect Jiang Zhen to be so capable. In just an hour, he successfully convinced her father and even agreed to their marriage!
Is there anything this man can't do?
“You're awesome. I'll reward you with a kiss!” Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g hugged Jiang Zhen's head and kissed him pa.s.sionately.
The two of them were loving each other at the study door when the door behind them was suddenly pulled open. Han Yueyun held his gla.s.ses in one hand and an empty gla.s.s in the other.
The moment he opened the door, he saw Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g kissing Jiang Zhen. Han Yueyun didn't know whether to close the door or quietly walk past them.
The sound of the door opening alerted the two young men. Like two springs, they sprang open with a Milky Way between them.
Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g's face was red. She lowered her head and placed her hands on her chest, stirring uneasily. Jiang Zhen's ears were also red. He called out in a m.u.f.fled voice, “Uncle Han.”
Han Yueyun stared at the empty cup, thought for a moment, and said, “I'll go have a cup of tea.”
Jiang Zhen hurriedly said, “I'll go get you a cup of tea.”
Hence, Jiang Zhen s.n.a.t.c.hed the cup from Han Yueyun's hand and went downstairs with Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g to receive the tea. Han Yueyun drank a cup of tea and saw that it was getting late. He said, “I'm going to bed. You guys should rest early too.”
“Goodnight, Uncle Han.”
“Mmm.”
When Han Yueyun returned to his room, he saw that Lin Jiao'e was still pestering Song Ci to sit in the living room on the second floor. He stood behind the sofa and said, “It's already 10pm. Wifey, Song Song is pregnant and should rest.”
Lin Jiao'e and Song Ci turned back together and looked at him with sparkling eyes. They asked curiously, “How was the discussion?”
They were all trustworthy people, so Han Yueyun didn't hide it and said bluntly, “I agreed.”
Han Zhan closed the book and looked up at Han Yueyun. “What did he do?” He was very curious about what exactly Jiang Zhen did to convince Han Yueyun.
Han Yueyun sat down on the sofa beside Han Zhan. He glanced at the other three people, took out the confession certificate in his pocket, pinched it on his fingertips, and said, “That child wrote all the major and minor crimes he has committed in the past twenty years on these two pieces of paper. He signed it. He said that in the future, if anything happens to w.a.n.gw.a.n.g, I can use this paper to report him.”
After Han Yueyun finished speaking, the three of them looked shocked.
Even Han Zhan didn't expect Jiang Zhen to do such a thing.
Giving the confession certificate to Han Yueyun was equivalent to handing his life to Han Yueyun. There was no oath more moving than these two pieces of paper.
Han Zhan sighed. “Indeed a bold child.”
Song Ci also said, “No wonder Big Brother agreed.”
Meanwhile, Lin Jiao'e was happy and heartbroken. She said, “It looks like this child is really devoted to our w.a.n.gw.a.n.g. I can rest a.s.sured now. But this child is too bitter.”
Song Ci patted the back of Lin Jiao'e's hand and said, “It was tough in the past, but sweet in the future. We will be a family in the future. Big Brother and Sister-in-law will treat him as their own child. That child is grateful. He is actually my elder sister's disciple…”
Song Ci explained the relations.h.i.+p between Jiang Zhen and Song Fei to Han Yueyun and his wife. After knowing that Jiang Zhen had succeeded and didn't forget Song Fei's kindness in nurturing him back then, they were even more a.s.sured of Jiang Zhen's character.
A grateful child would never be too bad.
“This child is completely different from his father.”
Song Ci nodded. “Yes, Jiang Weimin is so evil, but Jiang Zhen is loyal and devoted. As the saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix. A mouse's son knows how to dig holes. This saying can also be a slap in the face.”
Han Zhan looked at his watch and saw that it was indeed getting late. He said to his elder brother and sister-in-law, “Song Ci and I are going to Italy tomorrow and need to rest early. Elder brother and sister-in-law, when I return from Italy, I will bring Mr. Xu back to Shunchen to settle the family shrine.”
“Let's all rest.”
“Okay.”
When Song Ci and Han Zhan were about to take a rest after taking a shower, they heard the sound of a car starting downstairs. Han Zhan got up and stood by the window to look out. He said to Song Ci on the bed, “w.a.n.gw.a.n.g Dog and the rest have gone out.”
Song Ci looked at the time and said, “It's already 11pm.”
Han Zhan clicked his tongue and returned to bed. He pulled the blanket over the two of them. He hugged Song Ci with one arm and sighed. “It's good to be young. 11pm is the start of nightlife.”
Song Ci poked Han Zhan's chest and said, “Brother Han, I am also a young man. I will be 25 years old in two days.”
Han Zhan was speechless.
Song Ci muttered. “After I give birth, I will live the life of a young and hot mother. Every week, I go shopping, every Tuesday, every Wednesday, I practice the violin, every Thursday I go out to socialize, every Friday I go out to partic.i.p.ate in public welfare activities, every Sat.u.r.day I accompany the child to parent-child activities, and every weekend I go to my nightlife.”
Han Zhan pinched her waist. “Are you despising the lack of nightlife?” He suddenly turned around, circled behind Song Ci, and quickly slipped his hot hand under her nightdress.
He said, “There's no hurry. I'll accompany you for a colorful nightlife tonight.”
Song Ci said, “There's no need…”
The rest of his words disappeared in Han Zhan's mouth.
Han Zhan was slightly angry. He was angry that she was mocking him for being an old man again, angry that her schedule was full for seven days a week, but nothing was related to him.
Young women were so heartless. I was blinded by greed and loved Song Ci so much.
I had to treat it well!
Song Ci's eyes were filled with tears from Han Zhan's bullying. She hugged Han Zhan's left hand and bit his thumb. She reminded him, “I'm still pregnant. Shouldn't you be gentler?”
Han Zhan continued to move behind her and said unhappily, “Old men are the gentle ones. Young people are all pa.s.sionate.” So he wanted Song Ci to feel his fiery pa.s.sion and to understand that he was not old.
Song Ci laughed until her shoulders were trembling.
Han Zhan stopped and looked at her in confusion, not understanding what it was like to suddenly laugh wildly. “What are you laughing at?” Han Zhan pinched Song Ci's chin with one hand and turned her face to face him.
Song Ci smiled so widely that her eyes were filled with tears. It was obvious that she was thinking of something rich. “What naughty things are you thinking of again?”
ong Ci blinked at Han Zhan and said in a soft, irresistible voice, “Uncle.”
Han Zhan was speechless.
He nearly fainted!
“What are you shouting for?” Han Zhan's tone became dangerous. Han Zhan was especially resistant to the words “uncle” and “old”. He was not interested in playing uncle and loli.
Song Ci suppressed her laughter and shouted again, “Uncle.”
“Shut up!”
Han Zhan covered Song Ci's mouth and tortured her in different ways. But Song Ci kept calling him uncle, causing Han Zhan to dream of calling him uncle in a devilish voice.
In the master bedroom on the same level, Han Yueyun and his wife, Lin Jiao'e, were not sleeping either.
Han Yueyun was destined to lose sleep tonight.
He felt rather emotional. He pulled Lin Jiao'e along and leaned against the head of the bed to say something considerate. He said, “I feel that not much time has pa.s.sed. Why are the children all grown up? Today, when I saw that child Jiang Zhen begging me to marry w.a.n.gw.a.n.g to him, I felt terrible.”
“I feel that our marriage only happened yesterday. In the blink of an eye, the children are going to discuss marriage. My heart…” Han Yueyun rubbed his chest, unable to find an accurate word to describe his feelings.
Lin Jiao'e had a facial mask on her face. Hearing this, she felt amused and said, “Oh, you actually have such feelings. I thought you were busy with work everyday and only wanted to be promoted.”
Hearing Lin Jiao'e's sarcasm, Han Yueyun felt slightly embarra.s.sed. “A person has to have some pursuits in life. I naturally have to climb up in the official circles. Moreover, aren't you busy partic.i.p.ating in the National Bake Compet.i.tion when baking? Do you want to gain the recognition of more people?”
Lin Jiao'e was about to defend herself when she suddenly heard the sound of a car starting downstairs. “Who wants to go out?” Lin Jiao'e lifted the blanket and ran to the window. She looked over at the garage of the small courtyard and saw Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g driving her father's Audi out to have fun.
“Where are you going?” Lin Jiao'e shouted downstairs.
Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g heard it and put down the window. “To the bar!”
“Jiang Zhen drank. Don't let him drive!”
“I know!”
Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g drove away.
Lin Jiao'e closed the window and turned to tell her husband, “It's the middle of the night and she's still going to the bar to play. She's so worrisome.”
Han Yueyun said, “When we were young, didn't we also sneak out to watch a movie in the middle of the night?”
Lin Jiao'e asked him, “Then do you still remember what our first movie was?”
“How can I not remember? The t.i.tanic was just released at that time and it was difficult to get a ticket. I finally bought a ticket in the middle of the night.”
“Pfft!”
Lin Jiao'e leaned against Han Yueyun's shoulder and suddenly said, “Let's watch a movie.”
Han Yueyun was speechless.
So they started the movie. Lin Jiao'e watched it with relish. Just as she saw Jack painting for Ruth, the man beside him started snoring. Lin Jiao'e shook her head and felt that the movie was boring, so she turned off the movie and fell asleep.
They were old and not suitable to watch a movie in the middle of the night.
It had been more than five months since Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g went to a bar. She was really happy tonight and wanted to go to a bar to have fun. Jiang Zhen knew what she was happy about and allowed her to go to a nightclub.
In the bar, Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g took off her s.h.i.+rt jacket, revealing a white open-waisted halter top. Her extremely short jeans covered her perky b.u.t.t, making her look very s.e.xy.
Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g liked to go to bars, play discs, and stand behind the DJ machine in s.e.xy clothes to dance with the customers.
She was not a s.l.u.tty girl. She just liked the atmosphere of the nightclub and the feel of the music exploding in her ears.
However, Jiang Zhen hated the atmosphere of the bar and didn't agree with Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g's fiery appearance in the bar. When she danced, her chest trembled. Although it was not big, it was beautiful in shape. In addition, her figure was well-proportioned and there were always people sneaking glances at her.
Jiang Zhen could block the knife, but not the men's peeping eyes.
At that moment, Jiang Zhen regretted it when he realized that those people were all peeping at Han w.a.n.gw.a.n.g.
We shouldn't have come.
She liked bars. I could open a bar for her and buy the best DJ equipment. I could even let her dance around in there alone without clothes.
