Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: I Lack a Wife

A man being this beautiful simply makes women envious.

The key is, he has a great physique too, with a trim waist, a strong chest, and even his skin looks smoother than a woman's.

Mu Yan's face showed a touch of annoyance, "Are you joking with me?"

This guy must be insane, clearly, I'm the one at a disadvantage here, alright?

"Miss Mu might feel wronged, but I, Jiang Jingheng, am not a casual person either." The man's voice was slightly cold, no longer as gentle as before.

Jiang Jingheng? Mu Yan was a bit taken aback, the name sounded familiar, like she'd heard it somewhere.

She turned back to look at him, saying impatiently, "What exactly do you want? Or are you after money, how much?"

Jiang Jingheng looked at her like this and knew she had no idea who he was.

He chuckled lightly, "Money is something I have plenty of, but there is indeed something I lack."

Mu Yan watched him full of vigilance, feeling a sense of unease.

"What?"

"I lack a wife."

"That's not a funny joke!" Mu Yan laughed dryly.

With a man of his appearance, is he really worried about not finding a woman to marry?

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Jiang Jingheng looked at her seriously.

"I don't agree!" Mu Yan refused, once again preparing to leave.

This is absolutely ridiculous, two strangers spend one night together and now they have to get married? Is his brain functioning?

"Then I can only take the recording to court and accuse you of assaulting a promising single young man. I'm sure it would attract widespread public attention."

Mu Yan paused in her steps and turned her head to glare at him.

"Recording? What do you mean?"

Jiang Jingheng reached over to the side of the bed, picked up his phone, and played an audio recording.

"So hot, so uncomfortable..." a woman's voice moaned.

Mu Yan's face turned ugly; it was her voice.

"Miss, let me go, what you're doing is wrong." The man's serious voice came through, it was Jiang Jingheng's.

"No, mmm..." the woman moaned, followed by the sound of panting and the suggestive noises of lips mingling.

...

Mu Yan's face flushed red, she never knew she had such a... passionate side.

Jiang Jingheng looked at Mu Yan and asked, "So, what is Miss Mu's choice?"

"You... you set me up!" Mu Yan looked at Jiang Jingheng angrily, truly despicable.

"I was just taking precautionary measures, and it seems, so far, my decision wasn't wrong." Jiang Jingheng's refined eyes carried a playful yet reckless charm.

Mu Yan was left speechless by him, she'd seen shamelessness before, but never this thick-skinned.

"Now, with so many men not wanting to get married, why are you so insistent?"

Jiang Jingheng spread his hands helplessly, "No choice, my family is pressuring me to continue the bloodline."

Mu Yan chuckled, "I have no desire to continue the bloodline with you."

"That's why I need you to marry me!" Jiang Jingheng said calmly.

Mu Yan hesitated for a moment, looking at him with a confused expression.

"I need a nominal wife to silence my family." Jiang Jingheng explained, "And from what I understand, Miss Mu, you are quite suitable."

Mu Yan wanted to say, you understand nothing!

But she found the plot a bit familiar, in some modern romance novels, rich second-generation heirs would find a woman to marry to avoid being pushed into marriage by their family, and then look for a suitable opportunity to divorce.

So, could this guy be one of those rich heirs?

She subconsciously asked, "What did you say your name was again?"

A smile spread across Jiang Jingheng's lips, "It seems I wasn't quite formal enough in my introduction, hello Miss Mu, my name is Jiang Jingheng."

His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to have a penetrating quality.

He is Jiang Jingheng, Jiang...

Mu Yan's expression suddenly changed drastically, could he be that Jiang Jingheng?
