Grew up in an orphanage, with average looks, and worked tirelessly for 30 years, accumulating six million in savings. Just as she finally achieved financial freedom without spending a dime, Su Yan ...
The man in the driver's seat suddenly leaned over and captured her lips gently and tenderly, unlike the eagerness and ferocity he had shown the night before.
The gentle drizzle made Su Yan blush even more.
She pushed against the man's chest and mumbled, "I'm driving, can you be more focused?"
Jiang Jingxing only took a small taste and reluctantly let go of her. Seeing her flushed face, he gritted his teeth and said while driving, "If I could, I really want to hide you away."
He even considered locking her in the house so they wouldn't have to go through the heartache of separation.
Su Yan was startled by his words and said with a complicated expression, "Are you a pervert?!"
This man's ideas are just like the male protagonist in the novel she read in her past life, what's that called... domineering CEO forced love?
Jiang Jingxing sighed helplessly, "I wish you weren't so capable, so you could never leave me for the rest of your life."
"It's impossible in this life." She raised an eyebrow and said, "In the next life, I'll definitely become a parasitic vine and stick to you. Don't find me annoying then, or you'll break your promise."
The next life?
So she still wanted to be with him in the next life.
Jiang Jingxing was completely pleased by these words and said without hesitation, "Okay, we'll be together again in the next life."
The hotel wasn't far from his workplace, and they arrived at the military district gate while chatting.
The jeep drove in, the window half open. The soldier on guard immediately spotted the beautiful woman sitting in the passenger seat, his eyes widening in disbelief. He didn't forget to salute, "Greetings, Commander."
Jiang Jingxing nodded and drove straight in.
Su Yan asked, puzzled, "Why did you roll down the car window?"
Jiang Jingxing drove the car into the parking space, unbuckled his seatbelt, and asked her, "Don't you want others to know about our relationship?"
She froze, unable to react for a moment.
It wasn't until the man leaned over to help her unbuckle her seatbelt, his rough fingertips lingering on her face, that his deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear, "Ayan, we've already met each other's parents, aren't you going to give me a proper status?"
Su Yan's face flushed, and she subconsciously said, "If people find out about our relationship, won't all the women who like you cause me trouble? How many problems will I have to deal with then? Don't you even think about me?"
"No, I won't let those things happen."
Jiang Jingxing finished speaking with a frown. He had already dealt with the few he knew of so far.
“If anyone causes you trouble, tell me, and I won’t let her have a second chance to find you,” he said suddenly, seriously.
Su Yan had no idea what he was thinking.
However, she was quite pleased with what he said and replied, "I'll come to you if I can't solve it, and I'll come to you again if I can."
Although she didn't want to deal with these troublesome matters, since she was with Jiang Jingxing, she couldn't let him bear everything alone.
The fact that he has so many suitors proves that he is outstanding.
She felt quite proud that such an outstanding man was pursuing her so relentlessly!
Jiang Jingxing's brows relaxed, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by a voice approaching from outside the car, "Commander Jiang, what are you dawdling in the car for? Chen Yuwei is crying and making a scene outside your office. If this continues, I'll have to rely on our group's reputation. Girl, who do you think you are?!"
Su Yan looked at the newcomer with curiosity.
He has a square face, looks quite serious, and is tall and thin, but his behavior and speech have a nonchalant tone.
She looked at Jiang Jingxing with a puzzled expression.
Jiang Jingxing got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and gestured for her to get out.
After Su Yan came down, she heard him say, "This is Wei Jin, our regiment's instructor."
Then he introduced her to Wei Jin, "This is my girlfriend, Su Yan, Su Yu's younger sister."
Upon hearing the first half of the sentence, Wei Jin appeared to be greatly shocked.
But upon hearing the second half of the sentence, his expression turned serious, and his entire demeanor became calm and composed.
He looked Su Yan up and down and found that she did look quite similar to Su Yu. Then he extended his hand and said, "Hello, I am Wei Jin."
Su Yan shook hands with her and replied generously, "Hello, it's nice to meet you."
She withdrew her hand, looked up at the man beside her, and said somewhat anxiously, "Can you take me to see my older brother now?"
"No! Commander Jiang, you should deal with Chen Yuwei first. You can't hit her, and you can't scold her. I really don't know what to do. If she keeps crying, it will have a bad influence on our regiment," Wei Jin said quickly.
Jiang Jingxing frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then made a decision, "Take Su Yan to Su Yu first, and make sure to protect her."
Hearing the man's words of advice, Wei Jin sighed inwardly.
The cold-faced, ruthless commander of the military region actually has such a considerate side?
"Don't worry about that. I won't let my sister-in-law have any problems if something happens to me."
Wei Jin's position was lower than Jiang Jingxing's, but he was older and had been in the army longer, so it was perfectly acceptable for him to call Jiang Jingxing "brother and sister-in-law".
Jiang Jingxing was worried that Su Yan would be nervous, so he patted her head to comfort her and said, "It's okay, I'll come find you after I'm done."
Su Yan nodded, said nothing, and watched him leave.
Wei Jin said, "Let's go, sister-in-law. You're already reluctant to part after just a short separation? You're like a couple deeply in love." He was being all lovey-dovey.
He has been married for over ten years. He met his wife through a blind date. Apart from the first few years of their marriage when they were very affectionate, they are now an old married couple and all they want is to live a good life together.
Su Yan appeared a little shy and followed him for a while before suddenly asking, "Commander Wei, who is Chen Yuwei? Why is she causing a scene in his office?"
He had initially thought that Jiang Tuan's young lady was also a shy Wei Jin, but he didn't expect her to ask him a question she didn't want to answer right away.
But faced with those innocent, inquisitive eyes, he could only steel himself and ask, "Didn't Jiang Tuan tell you?"
"No," Su Yan said with a smile. "He rarely talks about these things when we meet."
Not being able to say it doesn't mean I don't want to talk to her.
Wei Jin immediately understood the underlying meaning in Su Yan's words, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her innocent little face, making a decision in his heart.
So he was a wolf in sheep's clothing; he miscalculated.
He briefly explained how Chen Yuwei's father wanted to use force to compel him to be with Chen Yuwei.
"Having offended Jiang Tuan, even Old Master Chen can't get Chen Yuwei's father out of trouble. General Jiang said he's ill and can't see anyone, which is him backing Jiang Tuan up. So, Miss Chen knows she was wrong and is running to Jiang Tuan to apologize in a panic."
Wei Jin thought to himself that Jiang Tuan should thank him properly this time, as his few words had greatly improved Jiang Tuan's image in his young wife's heart.
Su Yan suddenly realized, "I see."
"Back then, Jiang Tuan said he had a fiancée, but none of us believed him. We thought he was just using that as an excuse to appease the Chen family. We never expected he wasn't lying," Wei Jin said with a smile.
