The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Xu Wenwan met with An Dongyang without any trouble. Due to his hunger strike, the man’s once somewhat chubby face had grown much thinner. After three days without so much as a drop of water, he lay on the bed with his eyes closed, looking utterly weak.

Tears instantly welled up in Xu Wenwan’s eyes.

She threw herself at the man’s side and burst into tears.

The sound of crying woke An Dongyang. When he saw it was Xu Wenwan, he was stunned. ”Wen Wan, what are you doing here?”

”You fool. If I hadn’t come, I never would have known you were on a hunger strike.”

The two locked eyes, their expressions full of sorrow. It was like a scene from a movie: lovers torn apart by their parents, reuniting after many long years.

Standing to one side, watching her son embrace Xu Wenwan, his mother was about to explode with fury. But her mouth wouldn’t open; she couldn’t utter the words to make them separate.

’What is going on? What in the world is happening?’

The woman was frantic.

Yet she could only watch, powerless to do anything.

An hour passed as Xu Wenwan and An Dongyang had their tender reunion. Only then did An Dongyang notice his mother, his expression one of utter surprise.

He knew just how vehemently his mother opposed his marriage to Xu Wenwan, yet here she was, standing silently to the side. The change in her attitude was just too drastic.

Before An Dongyang could ask, Xu Wenwan knelt before his mother.

”Auntie, I know this is my second marriage and that I’m not worthy of Dongyang. But I truly love him, and we’re truly in love with each other. Please, Auntie, give us your blessing!”

”From now on, I swear I’ll take care of you as if you were my own mother.”

In that moment, Xu Wenwan was inwardly ecstatic.

’She knew the woman wouldn’t refuse her. Before she transmigrated, she had always wanted to marry a rich heir. Now, inside her own book, that dream was finally coming true.’

Just the thought of it made Xu Wenwan’s entire body tremble with excitement.

An Dongyang, however, mistook her trembling for fear. He pushed himself out of bed and knelt beside Xu Wenwan, pleading sincerely, ”Mom, please, just give us your blessing!”

The woman was livid. Her eyes grew red with frustration, and tears streamed down her face against her will.

But the words that came out were, ”I give you my blessing.”

???

’No, that’s not... That’s not what I wanted to say.’

The mother wanted to explain, but the two lovers, who felt they had overcome so much, were already locked in an ecstatic embrace.

Next, An Dongyang got the family register and went to the local subdistrict office for the necessary paperwork. Xu Wenwan had already gotten her own papers from the village chief before leaving. With everything in hand, they went straight to register their marriage.

The clerk looked at Xu Wenwan with a strange expression.

He remembered this woman. She had just finalized her divorce three days ago, and now here she was, getting a marriage license with another man.

’That was... impressively fast.’

Xu Wenwan was getting impatient. Until that marriage certificate was in her hand, she wasn’t truly married to An Dongyang. Seeing the clerk moving at a snail’s pace, she couldn’t stop herself from saying, ”Excuse me, could you please be a little faster?”

The clerk was about to snap back, but instead, he heard himself agree against his will.

He then stamped the documents with the official seal.

As he handed the two marriage certificates, which resembled award plaques, to the couple, Xu Wenwan let out a huge sigh of relief.

’Finally, I’ve married into a wealthy family!’

Once they had the marriage certificates, Xu Wenwan grabbed An Dongyang’s hand and told him to come with her to the village to pack her things.

She also wanted everyone in the village who had looked down on her to see that she was now completely out of their league. She would make the Xu Family and Yun Hao regret how they had treated her.

’Otherwise, now that I’ve married such a powerful man, I definitely could have given them a helping hand.’

The An Family was an incredibly powerful clan from the Capital City, currently at the height of their influence. They had only made a small mistake, forcing them to lie low here for a while. Once the political climate improved, they would be allowed to return.

A family like that, in Xu Wenwan’s eyes, was the definition of a prestigious, wealthy family.

’And the Xu Family... when they find out they missed their chance to get on the good side of such an important family, they’ll probably regret it to their dying day!’
