Xu Wan was a little flustered. She didn't know where she had said something wrong that made Jiang Tingzhou understand this meaning.

Jiang Tingzhou withdrew his arm from the woman, his expression full of frustration. "I clearly told you that my parents are not like that. I believe you definitely believe me, yet you still say this... I can only think that it's because I'm old, and you dislike me and want to find an excuse to replace me."

"I... I didn't mean that."

Xu Wan's face immediately turned red, and she quickly grabbed Jiang Tingzhou's hand, "Because you've been so good to me, but there's nothing I can do for you. If I make things difficult for you because of this, I'll really feel guilty."

Jiang Tingzhou didn't say anything, but instead pulled the woman into the car.

After you closed the car door, he leaned over and grabbed the woman's chin. "Xu Wan, I'll say this one last time. You are my wife, and it's only right that I treat you well. This is something I do with great pleasure. Please believe me that I will get my parents to accept your family. Finally, I don't want you to doubt me."

"I...I didn't suspect you..."

"I've already said that my family members aren't those kinds of people. Why are you bringing up that question again? Aren't you just doubting me?"

Jiang Tingzhou raised his hand, his thumb and forefinger hooked together, and lightly flicked the woman's head as a form of punishment.

"sorry……"

"Is 'sorry' all you're going to do? Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

Jiang Tingzhou deliberately put on a stern face.

Xu Wan sensed that the man was really angry. "Then... how about we sleep together when we get back tonight?"

She thought the man would be happy.

Jiang Tingzhou's expression immediately became more serious, and he flicked the woman's forehead harder with his finger. "Never use this as a bargaining chip again."

Xu Wan could clearly sense that the man was angry, so she quickly apologized: "I'm sorry."

Jiang Tingzhou held her hand. "Wanwan, unless you don't want me anymore, I will never mention divorce to you."

"I... I won't not want you."

"That's good." Jiang Tingzhou started the car. "Let's go back."

The car drove for about half an hour.

Xu Wan's phone emitted a series of WeChat notification sounds.

Xu Wan looked down and saw that the message wasn't from a work group, but from a long-dormant university group.

Qi Baixue: [Dear classmates, it's been a year! How are you all doing? How about we have a reunion next month for the school anniversary? Everyone in China who can come, please do! If you have any difficulties, just ask me to apply, and I can consider reimbursing your travel and hotel expenses.]

Qi Baixue, who was speaking, was the class monitor back then, and also the person with the best family background and the most popular among the students.

She organized all the class activities when we were in school. The students would contribute part of the money, and she would make up the rest.

However, Xu Wan was too busy with work at that time, so she didn't participate in any of these kinds of activities.

After Qi Baixue spoke, the rest of the class started to get lively.

Xu Wan found it noisy and was about to set the group to "Do Not Disturb" when she received a message from Qi Baixue.

Qi Baixue: [Xu Wan, are you coming to the school anniversary celebration?]

Xu Wan: [I'm busy with work, so I guess I won't go.]

Qi Baixue: [Are you having any financial difficulties? It's okay, just tell me and I'll transfer the money to you. You never used to participate in activities, and now you're not even coming to this class reunion. Isn't that inappropriate?]

After sending the message, Qi Baixue transferred two thousand yuan to Xu Wan without saying a word.

Qi Baixue: [Is that enough? If not, I'll transfer you some more.]

Xu Wan didn't accept the money, and could only awkwardly say, "I have money, I'll try my best to participate."

Jiang Tingzhou noticed Xu Wan's uncomfortable expression out of the corner of his eye and asked, "What's wrong?"

“Next month is our school’s anniversary, and some classmates are organizing a reunion. They asked if I wanted to go,” Xu Wan answered truthfully.

"So we're alumni, then?" Jiang Tingzhou replied with a smile.
