A Rough Man and His Beautiful Wife

When Jiang Ju was in university, her parents died in an accident. They left her with a three-story house, and she rented out the lower floors. Although she didn't earn a lot from the rent, it was more than enough for her now that she lived alone. After all, she was timid and had a fear of socializing. She was happy with a peaceful life like this. However, all this was ruined when she met a team of engineers. More specifically, it was because of the tall foreman on the engineering team, Du Xi. Du Xi was in charge of developing a piece of land, and he noticed a young lady in the small building next to the construction site on the first day. She looked like a sweet girl, and he observed her for several days. Finally, he couldn't help but mess with her house's air-conditioner while working. He originally wanted to use fixing her air-conditioner as an excuse to take a closer look at her. Who'd have guessed that he'd fall for her even harder?While Du Xi looked at Jiang Ju's pretty face and small eyes, he began thinking to himself, 'She looks like a very obedient girl. I should marry her and pamper her. 'Hence, Du Xi went on the offensive to woo Jiang Ju.' He's such a tall, strong man who makes me feel safe. With him around, I won't have to worry about leaving the house...' Jiang Ju thought to herself.

Why Is This Child So Obstinate?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was almost dark outside. Jiang Ju didn't want to go out, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only nod. After dinner, Du Xi pushed her into the bedroom for her to change her clothes and leave the task of washing the dishes to him.

After Du Xi washed the bowls and chopsticks, Jiang Ju still hadn't come out. After he knocked on the door impatiently, Jiang Ju opened the door slowly. He glanced around and saw that the clothes Jiang Ju was wearing were still the ones she wore for dinner. Jiang Ju hadn't changed at all, so Du Xi asked, "Why haven't you changed yet?" This was the first time the two of them would go out together, so why wasn't she willing to change her clothes?

Although she looked good in anything, Du Xi was still unwilling for her to wear sportswear on their first date. Jiang Ju pursed her lips and reached out to grab the corner of her shirt before saying, "It's already nighttime. No one will notice me, right?" Since no one would notice, there was no need for her to change her clothes. It was quite troublesome.

Du Xi looked at her resentfully and wondered why this child was so insensitive. He couldn't help but walk straight to the closet and planned to pick out a beautiful outfit for her. After he opened the closet door, he fell silent. The child's closet was filled with the most basic clothes. Her clothes were either black, white, or gray. None of them were unique.

"Then don't change. Let's go." When they went out later, he would buy her some new clothes. He wondered why a young lady like her only bought old-fashioned clothes that didn't accentuate her beauty at all. She lived a life without any desires. Be it food, clothing, accommodation, or transportation, she had an attitude of getting by.

However, it was precisely because of this that she didn't reject him, who disrupted her life, so intensely. Before leaving, Jiang Ju took a mask from the shoe cabinet and even turned to ask him if he wanted one.

Even though it was nighttime, the temperature outside was still very high. Du Xi couldn't stand the humid feeling of wearing a mask, so he waved his hand to reject her offer.

Jiang Ju didn't force him. She took the key and left the neighborhood. After leaving the neighborhood, she was about to put on her mask when she was stopped by Du Xi. "There's no one around. Wear it when there's someone around later." After she put on the mask, he could only see her big eyes and couldn't the other half of her face, so he objected.

Jiang Ju didn't want to argue with him over such a small matter, so she put her mask back into her pocket. The two of them walked on the path slowly. The small building they lived in was in an urban village, not far from the commercial street. From the commercial street, they could reach the largest amusement park in the city in about half an hour. The Ferris wheel there was said to be the tallest in the country.

Du Xi bought her a glass of fruit juice on the commercial street before taking a taxi to the amusement park. "If it weren't for the tight management downtown, I would have taken you there on a motorcycle."

Jiang Ju took a big sip of fruit juice. When she heard Du Xi's words before she could swallow it, she was so startled that she almost spat out the fruit juice in her mouth. After swallowing it, she shook her head repeatedly. "No need, no need. I'm not used to riding a motorcycle."

She wasn't used to riding a motorcycle, but she was more worried that she would be caught by the city police. After all, his motorcycle was too eye-catching on the road. The roar was so loud that no one who passed by didn't hate it. She was worried that she would get implicated and beaten up if Du Xi angered the passersby.

Du Xi smiled and stroked her hair as he said, "You're just timid. Actually, riding a motorcycle is very relaxing. Otherwise, why would so many rich rich kids choose to ride a motorcycle instead of driving their luxury cars?" Jiang Ju didn't say anything else, but she couldn't help but complain inwardly that even if she wanted to take a motorcycle for a ride, she definitely wouldn't take a motorcycle that was as loud as thunder.

Her inner thoughts were completely reflected on her face and Du Xi saw it clearly. As he looked at the tip of Jiang Ju's exquisite nose, he thought to himself that she was much more outgoing than the first time they met. Now, not only did she dare to speak, but she also dared to ridicule him inwardly.

This was a good start. It proved that she had finally come out of her shell and was willing to see the scenery of this world. Thinking of the arrival of the day she completely accepted him, Du Xi felt excited. He really liked her. He liked her so much that he was willing to grow old with her and protect her in this chaotic world.

Even when she didn't like talking to him, he wanted to stay by her side, let alone when she fell for him in the future. He hesitated beside her for a long time. Just as he was about to put his arm around Jiang Ju's shoulder, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the amusement park.
