Jiang Tingzhou frowned. He sat down on the sofa next to him and pulled the woman down to sit as well, asking, "What's wrong?"

“If you had told me from the beginning that you were this rich, I probably wouldn’t have married you,” Xu Wan said seriously. “We are too different, and it really puts a burden on me.”

Jiang Tingzhou lowered his eyes and said, "I told you I understand you, which is why I chose to conceal my identity from the beginning."

Xu Wan stood up from the sofa again.

Thinking she was about to leave, the man quickly grabbed her: "Wanwan, I can tell you right now, my identity, my family company is actually..."

"It's Tianwei Group, right?"

Xu Wan answered first.

She had already vaguely guessed it.

If Jiang Tingzhou is lying, he must have some evidence; he wouldn't just randomly name a company.

Previously, Jiang Tingzhou had also mentioned that he held a higher position at Tianwei.

If she still can't guess that Jiang Tingzhou's family business is Tianwei Group after hearing this, then she's really too simple-minded!

Jiang Tingzhou held Xu Wan's hand tightly. "Wanwan, I didn't mean to hide it from you. But as you know, once a lie is told, it's hard to find another chance to tell. I wanted to tell you before, but you were pregnant. You almost miscarried when you found out I was Jiang Xuanzhou, so I didn't dare to say anything. And then there just wasn't a suitable opportunity..."

Xu Wan thought to herself, no wonder Jiang Tingzhou had never let her meet his father. Perhaps Jiang's father was the real power behind Tianwei.

"Wanwan, you can be angry with me, but don't think about divorce."

As Jiang Tingzhou spoke, the pressure of his hand increased.

“I’m not angry, I just… feel more and more that the gap between us is too big. I feel like a pet. If you love me, you give me a life of luxury, take me on your private jet, and to your private island. But if one day you stop loving me, then… given my status, if you don’t want to see me, it will be difficult for me to even see you or say a word to you. Maybe then there will be a sign on the door of Tianwei that says: ‘Xu Wan and dogs are not allowed to enter.’”

What truly alarmed Xu Wan was never Jiang Tingzhou's wealth.

Rather, it was this disparity that gave him complete control over the life and death of this relationship.

Jiang Tingzhou then realized that what Xu Wan cared about was actually this matter.

He pulled the woman forcefully into his arms, his fingers intertwined with hers. "Don't worry, the Jiang family has excellent genes. Once they've chosen someone, they'll love them for life. There's no precedent for them changing their minds halfway through."

“You’re lying. Didn’t you and Miss An have a very good relationship before?” Xu Wan said seriously.

"Jealous?" Jiang Tingzhou pinched the woman's cheek. "The reason I'm close to her is because the An family and the Jiang family were the closest at the time. I had no choice. But I never thought I would marry her. I don't need my family to arrange what kind of person I like or what kind of person I marry."

The man paused, then said with certainty, "I don't want anyone but you."

Xu Wan raised her right little finger, "Then let's pinky swear."

The man didn't think she was childish and made a pinky promise with her.

Xu Wan didn't really believe in this, but she just didn't want to worry about it too much.

Three hours later, the photography team arrived on the island.

After settling into their accommodations, the team quickly got to work. Some scouted the island's terrain, while others came to the main house to do Xu Wan's makeup and styling.

I'm in such a hurry just to catch the sunset.

The first outfit the makeup artist brought was a pure white mermaid wedding dress with a long train.

Xu Wan went to the dressing room to change clothes after she finished her makeup.

She had just put on her wedding dress when she realized the zipper was at the back. Because the sleeves were too tight, she couldn't zip it all the way up, so she asked for help, "Could you come in and help me with the zipper?"

Xu Wan had assumed that it would be a makeup artist who came in.

But when the locker room door opened, it was Jiang Tingzhou who walked in.

When the man entered the dressing room, Xu Wan was facing the mirror in front of her.

The pure white wedding dress fit her figure perfectly, with a lace train. The image in the mirror was as beautiful as a mermaid emerging from the water.

Jiang Tingzhou glanced at it and said, "Wife, let's set a date for the wedding when we go back this time."
