Xu Wan had just taken a step forward when the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

However, the man was not in a hurry. He carefully examined the dress and said after a long time, "I think you look better in white."

"ah?"

As soon as Jiang Tingzhou finished speaking, he turned the woman over and pressed her onto the bed behind him, his fingers tracing the edge of the lace. "Black looks good, but... next time I want to see white."

Xu Wan's cheeks were flushed.

Before she could speak, the man's kiss landed on her lips, its strong scent of alcohol penetrating her mouth.

I don't know if it was the alcohol, but this kiss was more intense than any of the previous ones. It was like a king forcefully conquering a city, giving her no chance to resist, as if he wanted to suck all the air out of the woman's lungs.

"Hmm..."

Xu Wan was breathless from the kiss.

She didn't care about anything else; reason was completely stripped from her mind, and she only followed her senses, doing what she wanted to do and making what she wanted to make.

Xu Wan doesn't remember when she fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already broad daylight.

She didn't even hear her phone alarm!

When she hurriedly put on makeup, changed clothes, and ran to the living room, the man had already brought out a simple breakfast from the kitchen.

"Good morning."

Jiang Tingzhou placed the breakfast he was holding on the table.

Xu Wan blushed and replied, "Good morning."

Jiang Tingzhou walked over, went around behind her, tugged at the collar of her shirt, and pointed to the upper part of her spine, saying, "There's another hickey here, you can't see it. Give me the concealer later, and I'll cover it up for you."

Xu Wan touched it and complained angrily, "Don't ever leave hickeys on my neck again. No matter how you try to cover it up, it'll still be noticed..."

“It’s normal married life, so what if it gets discovered?” Jiang Tingzhou tugged at his shirt, showing it to the woman. “There are still your teeth marks here, I don’t mind at all.”

"You can't see it from there!"

“Then let’s keep one.” Jiang Tingzhou bent down and stretched his neck in front of the woman. “I’d be happy to let others see.”

"I don't want to!"

Xu Wan resolutely refused.

After breakfast, while Jiang Tingzhou was applying concealer to Xu Wan, he asked, "Your mother is being released from prison this Friday. Shall we order a bouquet of flowers? I've already spoken to my mom, she can choose them, and we can just pick them up then."

"Okay, thank you." Xu Wan didn't know how to express her gratitude, so she said, "Then I'll buy white next time."

Jiang Tingzhou took two seconds to react, then patted the woman's head and said, "If you feel shy, you don't have to force yourself."

"No, I'm willing if you like me..."

Xu Wan answered seriously.

After last night, she realized that Ji Tong was right: even if men don't say it, they really like these things.

-

Xu Pingrong will be released from prison at 9:00 AM on Friday.

That morning around six o'clock, Lingya personally delivered the prepared bouquet to her home.

As soon as she entered, she urged, "Stop dawdling and hurry up. What if we get stuck in traffic? What if our in-laws come out early and can't see us at the door? That would be so frustrating."

"good."

Xu Wan had already changed her clothes and packed her things.

Lingya came over to check, "Did you bring a change of clothes? You need new clothes and new shoes. You can change in the car, and just throw away the old clothes somewhere. It's a new life from now on!"

"Yes, I brought it."

Xu Wan was truly grateful.

It's truly remarkable that Lingya doesn't despise her mother and still cares for her so much.

“That’s good. Once your in-laws have rested, let’s have a meal together this weekend and discuss the details of the marriage. But don’t tell them yet, I’m afraid it will put pressure on them. I’ll bring it up later.” Lingya glanced at her watch. “Alright, you should go now. Even if you have to wait a little longer, don’t be late.”

Before seven o'clock, Jiang Tingzhou and Xu Wan went out.

The prison was located in the northern suburbs, and their car took the outer ring road directly, with no traffic jams, arriving at the prison gate more than half an hour early.

On a November morning, the temperature had already dropped to around ten degrees Celsius.

Xu Wan stood at the door early, holding flowers, completely unaffected by the temperature. Her heart was filled with enthusiasm as she welcomed her mother out of prison.

Jiang Tingzhou didn't say anything more. After putting a coat on her, he stood beside her and waited with her for her mother-in-law.
