Lin Zhaoyue looked at the man, who was wearing a military uniform of the same color but different style as Fang Leiluo's. He had regular and three-dimensional features, a pair of deep black eyes, an extremely cold expression, and an aura of hostility that told strangers not to be disturbed.
"Hello"
Lin Zhaoyue greeted him first, unaware of what was going on. Jiang Jingzhou noticed the fleeting wariness in the woman's eyes and unconsciously softened his tone.
"My name is Jiang Jingzhou, I'm 26 years old, currently serving in the Beijing Military Region, an only child, both my parents are healthy, and I've never been in a relationship..."
"..." Lin Zhaoyue listened to his self-introduction, which sounded like a "blind date," and wondered if she should "introduce" herself like that too?
"Excuse me, I overheard you saying you're single, right?" Jiang Jingzhou raised an eyebrow and continued to ask.
Lin Zhaoyue was a little confused, but nodded stiffly, "Yes."
“Perfect timing, I’m single too,” Jiang Jingzhou said with a slight smile. “Would it be convenient for us to get a marriage certificate?”
Is this man proposing marriage? After Lin Zhaoyue broke off her engagement with Fang Leiluo, she was in a difficult situation. If she didn't get married, she would have to be sent to the countryside with her family.
It wasn't that she was afraid of suffering; it was just that she was now the family's only "hope," and only by staying could she have a chance to find the traitor who had betrayed the Lin family.
Secondly, she had just been admitted to university this year, and hadn't even had time to warm up her acceptance letter. With such a bright future ahead of her, Lin Zhaoyue was unwilling to give up.
Jiang Jingzhou glanced at the woman sitting in front of him, who was hesitating. He didn't rush to refuse and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He wasn't one to enjoy watching a spectacle; he was initially drawn in by the girl's pleasant voice, glancing over casually, but couldn't look away—
She has fair skin, beautiful features on her small, delicate face, and a slender figure. The dress she's wearing makes her look like a stunningly beautiful flower. She's gorgeous!
Jiang Jingzhou felt that every part of the girl was perfect for him, and his heart was pounding wildly. His heart was telling him that this was a sign that he was falling for her.
"Based on your introduction, I guess your family is well-off. You don't know my situation yet," Lin Zhaoyue paused, not because she felt inferior, but because she felt there was something wrong with this pie that had fallen from the sky.
"Okay, you go ahead."
Lin Zhaoyue: "My family was just seized and I'm about to be demoted. My identity could easily affect your political review and promotion."
"Not being promoted is a matter of ability."
Lin Zhaoyue: "...I just broke off my engagement."
"Isn't this perfect? I'm single too."
"..." Lin Zhaoyue was silent for a moment, then asked a rather presumptuous question, "You don't have a problem in that area, do you?"
"I am in good health. If you don't believe me, you can have a premarital checkup."
Jiang Jingzhou's gaze remained fixed on Lin Zhaoyue's face. "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Lin Zhaoyue had said what she wanted to say, but she still didn't seem to have found the answer: "Why do you want to marry me?"
"love at first sight."
Jiang Jingzhou spoke with righteous indignation: if you find someone you like, you should act immediately and not give other men any chance!
Lin Zhaoyue blushed unconsciously.
“My name is Lin Zhaoyue, I am 20 years old, and I have just received my admission letter from medical school. I will continue my studies after I get married.”
"No problem." Jiang Jingzhou appeared calm, but inwardly he was slightly taken aback. He knew the girl was younger than him, but he hadn't expected her to be six years younger. Would she think he was too old?
Wait, does that mean she agreed? Jiang Jingzhou hurriedly said, "I need to wait a few more days before we can get the marriage certificate. There are still some formal procedures to go through. I'll pick you up then."
Getting married requires obtaining a marriage application, and the application takes time to be approved.
Lin Zhaoyue and Fang Leiluo's marriage application has just been submitted, and she also needs time to withdraw it.
"good."
"What are your requirements regarding the wedding dowry?" Jiang Jingzhou asked proactively.
Lin Zhaoyue shook her head, "No." She didn't actually care much about that; she was just trying to annoy Fang Leiluo with her words.
Jiang Jingzhou nodded thoughtfully, "Then I'll see what I can do."
"That's all for now. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now," Lin Zhaoyue said, getting up to leave. Jiang Jingzhou stood up right after her, adding, "I'll see you off."
Lin Zhaoyue was about to say no, but her mind was a bit muddled right now, and she needed to calm down and sort out her thoughts.
The man didn't give her a chance to refuse at all.
It had just rained last night. The military off-road vehicle was parked by the roadside. Jiang Jingzhou was the first to rush over and help her open the car door. Lin Zhaoyue looked down at the puddles on the ground with a troubled expression.
She used to have to wade through water.
The shoes were soaked through, inside and out.
Jiang Jingzhou noticed the little girl's "dilemma" and put his arm around her waist.
Being suddenly lifted up made Lin Zhaoyue instinctively grab the man's strong, powerful arm, "..."
She hadn't noticed it while sitting, but now that she stood up, Lin Zhaoyue realized the man was at least 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs.
She considered herself to be 1.63 meters tall, which wasn't short, but standing next to the man, she barely reached his chin.
I have to tilt my head back when I speak, and I'll have to wear high heels next time we meet. Lin Zhaoyue thought to herself.
Jiang Jingzhou was also feeling unsettled at this moment. The fragrance emanating from the girl made him dizzy, and her waist was so slender that he could easily wrap his arms around two of her.
After driving for a while, Jiang Jingzhou remembered to ask Lin Zhaoyue for her address.
Before the Lin family was sent to the countryside, all their assets were confiscated. Since it's not time yet, they can continue to live in their detached villa for the time being.
It's located not far from the state-run restaurant.
...
“Zhao Di, I’m so sorry for what I did to you in this life. I have to repay the kindness of the Lin family.” Fang Leiluo ran into the heartbroken Ren Zhao Di as soon as he stepped out of the state-run restaurant. She was his childhood sweetheart and the person he loved.
Ren Zhaodi nodded "understandingly," tears welling in her eyes. "I understand. If we can't be together in this life, then we'll be together in the next. Lei Luo, you should go inside and be with Lin Zhaoyue. I'm fine. If she sees us together, she'll start arguing with you again..."
"..." Little Qingmei was well-behaved and sensible, and Fang Leiluo felt even more disgusted with Lin Zhaoyue. "Don't pay attention to her, I'll take you back."
A hint of smugness flashed in Ren Zhaodi's eyes, but when Fang Leiluo looked at her, she reverted to her usual obedient self, "Okay~"
Halfway there, a military off-road vehicle drove straight past them.
Fang Leiluo thought he was seeing things, or maybe he was just driven crazy by Lin Zhaoyue, because he had just seen someone in the passenger seat who looked a bit like her...
Hmph! He must be too good to this woman! She really needs to change her capitalist heiress attitude!
This time, he'll only consider whether to forgive her after Lin Zhaoyue coaxes him!
Otherwise, she'll definitely take advantage of your kindness in the future.
