Chapter 219

A message from Shang Lu popped up. Even though Jiang Yan was already in a daze, her hand seemed to have a mind of its own as she habitually tapped to open it.

At that moment, her two perpetually single roommates in the dorm were gossiping about their Dormitory Head who had just started dating, wondering what it felt like to kiss someone.

Jiang Yan was actually the most experienced among them, but seeing how drunk she was, her roommates kindly let her off the hook.

Jiang Yan vaguely heard the word "kiss" and happened to see Shang Lu's profile picture, instantly recalling the many times Shang Lu had tried to kiss her during class...

Stimulated by the alcohol, those hidden feelings of shyness and frustration that she normally didn't notice all came rushing out at once.

Not during class! Jiang Yan's face tensed up as she slowly typed on her phone, but the twenty-six letters made her dizzy. She struggled to find the keys she needed, only to forget what she wanted to type.

Seeing that she was constantly in the process of typing but never sending a message, Shang Lu grew anxious. Was she typing something? Was there something she couldn't bring herself to say...?

As Shang Lu's messages kept popping up, Jiang Yan became intensely focused, wracking her brain for a long time before finally remembering what she wanted to say: No kissing during class! She didn't want to during class...

She would tap two keys, then pause to think for a while. In the end, she only managed to type out a bunch of spaces and the words "don't want to kiss."

To make matters worse, the delete key and send key were too close together. As she fumbled around, she accidentally deleted the word "don't."

On the other end, Shang Lu was panicking, worried that she was writing a breakup essay. His roommate had just been dumped in the same way!

However, when the new message popped up, Shang Lu was utterly stunned. He stared at those two words as if in a dream.

[Want to kiss]

In an instant, Shang Lu's mood soared from rock bottom to cloud nine. So she didn't want to break up with him... she wanted to kiss him.

Shang Lu was elated, his mind filled with images of how adorable Jiang Yan must look on the other end of the phone, taking so long to work up the courage to send those two words.

[Want to kiss what?]

[You're so shy, baby.]

Shang Lu sent two messages but got no response. Figuring that Jiang Yan was too embarrassed to speak after her rare moment of initiative, he eagerly grabbed his phone and headed downstairs.

On the other end of the phone, the Little Drunkard Jiang Yan had tossed her phone aside after sending the message.

It wasn't until Shang Lu had sent several messages without response that he decided to make a video call.

The Dormitory Head answered and handed the phone to Jiang Yan. She took it in a daze, staring blankly at Shang Lu on the screen.

Shang Lu suppressed his excitement, worried that his girlfriend might be too shy. He pretended to be calm and said he had something to give her, asking her to come out.

...

Since it was low-alcohol content and some time had passed since dinner and drinks, Jiang Yan's tipsiness had subsided a bit. At least she could understand what Shang Lu was saying now.

In simple terms, it meant using forceful means to pamper her until she was completely satisfied, guaranteeing that all those little problems would become non-issues.

...

During university, Jiang Yan earned money through live streaming and part-time jobs, never asking her family for money again.

When it came time for her graduation internship, Jiang Yan wanted to rent an apartment. As soon as Shang Lu heard this, he got an idea and shamelessly begged Jiang Yan to rent his villa.

The villa was in the city center, with an excellent location. Afraid that Jiang Yan wouldn't want to accept his help, Shang Lu even specifically offered to charge her normal rent.

Living in a villa but paying rent for a regular single room – Jiang Yan knew without thinking that there was a catch.

But Shang Lu said, "If you don't rent my place, I'll be angry!"

"Please."

"Pretty please."

With her boyfriend pleading online, Jiang Yan couldn't take it anymore. She thought that since he was her boyfriend, renting his place didn't seem like such a big deal.

However, after Shang Lu helped her move her things into the villa, he didn't leave.

He casually went into the bedroom to take a shower, then came out wearing only a bath towel. Facing a surprised Jiang Yan, he pleaded pitifully, "After all, I'm the landlord. Can't you spare me one room?"

Jiang Yan had thought he just wanted to let her live in the house, not knowing he had other tricks up his sleeve.

Shang Lu peeked through the door crack, pleased with himself. They were practically living together now.

But living together wasn't so simple; it was a mix of pain and pleasure.

At work, Jiang Yan quickly became a full-time employee due to her rich experience and strong abilities, thriving in the company.

Meanwhile, Shang Lu joined his family's company, clocking in and out punctually every day, then returning home to wait for his wife.

Poor Shang Lu, so young and yet spending every day waiting for his wife to come home for kisses and hugs. Because Jiang Yan worked long hours and didn't get enough rest, Shang Lu didn't dare keep her up too late.

If he wanted to engage in some real physical activity, Shang Lu had to prepare dinner in advance so that Jiang Yan could eat as soon as she got home and then go straight to bed.

This way, they could finish before eleven o'clock.

Getting a marriage certificate was an easy matter for Shang Lu. His family had always practiced a hands-off policy, rarely interfering in his life except for education.

So he just took their documents and went to get the certificate. Although he was later scolded by his parents, the reason was – "You didn't even tell us about such a big event as getting married!"

Due to family reasons, Jiang Yan's parents placed great importance on marriage. Shang Lu had to do his homework repeatedly for a long time before finally gaining the approval of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

There was a reason why Shang Lu was reprimanded. It was because his parents indeed only received the invitation just before the wedding ceremony. What invitation? The invitation to attend their son's wedding!

They didn't even know when their son had started dating someone, let alone that they had already obtained their marriage certificate and were about to hold a wedding ceremony!
