Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanning blushed instantly.

They had been sharing a bed for some time.

But now, when she heard Fu Chenyuan mention the word "bedroom," for some reason, the first thought that popped into her mind was some indescribable images.

It was already late at night.

Jiang Wanning was somewhat flustered.

"We haven't seen the study yet, let's take a look at the study first."

Seeing Jiang Wanning's ears turn red, Fu Chenyuan also felt inexplicably hot.

He clearly didn't mean that at all.

Perhaps it's a man's inherent weakness, but he deliberately wanted to tease her like that.

Seeing that her face had turned red, Fu Chenyuan felt as if every cell in his body was screaming.

She was still clinging to him, struggling to get down: "Didn't you want to check the study? Put me down."

Fu Chenyuan didn't put her down, but instead held her in his arms and steadily walked towards the study.

“Because you need quiet to paint, you can go to the studio, and I promise I won’t disturb you. I didn’t prepare a separate study for you, and I’d like to share a study with you. Would you mind?” It has to be said that Fu Chenyuan always puts her feelings first.

The study is large and has two desks.

The large, thick desk and the three floor-to-ceiling walls complement each other perfectly.

The other desk was immediately recognized as hers by Jiang Wanning.

She was somewhat surprised; wasn't this style her own design?

When Fu Chenyuan asked her for the style of the study last time, she gave him two final drafts, and she never expected that one of them would come in handy here.

There was also a beanbag chair by the desk, with a forest-themed style. The orange beanbag chair was paired with grass-green cushions, creating a bold and eye-catching color contrast.

"Won't this be too much of a disturbance when you're working?" Jiang Wanning was very easygoing. The study was large, and she and Fu Chenyuan could each occupy a corner without any problems.

She was just worried that Fu Chenyuan would cause him trouble if he worked here in the future.

No. It's because I want to be close to you.

Fu Chenyuan embraced her from behind, and she was completely encircled in his arms.

He bent down and intertwined with her.

The light cast indistinct shadows, the two shadows intertwined intimately.

Fu Chenyuan lowered his head and gently bit her ear, his voice a little hoarse.

"Wife, now you know how I feel. I've had a crush on you for a very, very long time. So, I didn't marry you just because I needed a wife; I married you because of you. I used all my strength to get to you. Wife, I'll be very clingy from now on. Will you get annoyed with me? Will you stop me from being clingy? Wife, will you let me be clingy with you?"

His voice was low and husky, yet undeniably sexy. Each time he called her "wife," it was incredibly alluring, leaving Jiang Wanning momentarily speechless.

She never knew that Fu Chenyuan was like this when he loved someone.

Fu Chenyuan was already imagining that while he was working, she would be sitting in the same space, either flipping through a book or drawing, and he could see Jiang Wanning as soon as he looked up or turned his gaze.

The fact that Jiang Wanning was in a place he could see with his own eyes made him feel at ease.

"Honey, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like clingy people? If you don't, I'll try to be less clingy. I'll change."

Who would have thought that this man, who was so powerful and influential outside, would be so humble at this moment, having already compromised his principles again and again for her sake.

Jiang Wanning turned away from Fu Chenyuan's embrace and saw that Fu Chenyuan's eyes seemed to be red, as if he was terrified that she really hated him.

Returning to the familiar place, he didn't utter those painful memories, only mentioning them lightly. He showed no emotional fluctuation, only she cried for him. But now, just because he was afraid she wouldn't cling to him, his eyes turned red.

Jiang Wanning's heart trembled when she saw Fu Chenyuan like this.

"If, A-Yuan, I mean if, I marry Tao Wenrui, but I don't like you, and I like Tao Wenrui, what would you do?"

Fu Chenyuan's eyes turned sinister, his voice low and seemingly laced with resentment: "As long as you're happy, I'll do anything."

He even planned that as long as Jiang Wanning was happy, he could even cooperate with the Tao family to elevate them to the ranks of the elite and use that to control Tao Wenrui.

If the Tao family dares to treat Jiang Wanning badly, he can tear the Tao family apart immediately.

But if Jiang Wanning is unhappy, he will take action even if it means being condemned.

That time, he heard Jiang Wanning say with his own ears: "I know the responsibilities I have. I know I'm going to marry Brother Wenrui. I've always known that. You ask me if I like him? He's not the kind of person I like. What kind of person do I like? I haven't thought about it, but it's not someone like Brother Wenrui. I just see Brother Wenrui as an older brother. What can I do? Can I not marry him? Since I am the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, I know I have certain obligations to bear."

She sounded like she was on the phone, so I couldn't hear her clearly.

Jiang Wanning doesn't like Tao Wenrui. There are only a few possible outcomes if she marries him: one, she falls in love with Tao Wenrui after marriage, and Tao Wenrui also loves her, resulting in a happy ending for everyone.

Second, she couldn't fall in love with Tao Wenrui after marriage; it was just an arranged marriage, and they treated each other with respect.

Third, she wouldn't be able to like Tao Wenrui after marriage, and might even feel disgusted by him. Meanwhile, Tao Wenrui would have other women he liked outside the marriage.

No matter which ending it is, it's something Fu Chenyuan doesn't want to see.

He asked himself, what should I do?

He already had the answer in his mind, and at this moment he no longer hesitated.

How could he let Jiang Wanning marry someone she didn't like?

Then a series of events unfolded.

When he finally stood before her, he appeared calm and said, "Miss Jiang, I have one condition: you must marry me."

She didn't know that this was something he had been planning for a long time.

Having taken ninety-nine steps to reach this point, he hoped she would come for the final step, and she certainly did not disappoint him.

Hearing Fu Chenyuan's insincere words, Jiang Wanning looked at him with amusement and a touch of heartache.

The man's eyes turned even redder, and he even looked somewhat aggrieved.

The two faced each other, looking at each other, neither backing down.

Fu Chenyuan looked aggrieved: "You're still laughing. So, if it had been someone else instead of me, would you still have married them?"

Jiang Wanning reached out and touched Fu Chenyuan's cheek.

The man's bone structure is truly exceptional; he'll definitely look good even when he's old.

Jiang Wanning looked at him without saying a word.

"What are you doing?"

Hearing Fu Chenyuan ask this, Jiang Wanning smiled: "I'm looking at you. I'm thinking that when our Ayuan gets old, he should be a very handsome old man. Sixty years from now, when we go to see that wishing plaque together, I seem to have a vague impression of what you will look like then."

Jiang Wanning continued, "A-Yuan, if you want to cling to me, then cling to me. Just be yourself; you don't need to pretend to be the way I like you. I've said it before, whether it's good or bad, it's all you, that makes you who you are today. So, from now on, do whatever you want. I'm willing to spoil you."
