Yan Xiaoqi had always been afraid of the dark. The moment the lights went out, she instinctively let out a scream and hurriedly moved to Jiang Yang's side.
Jiang Yang seemed to be prepared for this; he wrapped his arms around her tightly.
In the darkness, fear gripped Yan Xiaoqi's heart, and she momentarily forgot the conflicts between her and Jiang Yang, clinging to him instinctively.
"Yan Xiaoqi, did you just propose to me?" Jiang Yang asked her in a low voice amidst the shadows.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yan Xiaoqi responded, a hint of panic in her voice.
"Lady Xiao Qi, what you said to Night Wind just now—you can't take it back," Jiang Yang whispered enticingly in her ear.
"How do you know about Night Wind?" Yan Xiaoqi asked in terror.
"You won my heart; I fell for you at first sight," Jiang Yang said, tightening his grip on Yan Xiaoqi's wrists, and his lips naturally found hers.
In the darkness, Yan Xiaoqi surprisingly did not resist; it was as if all the longing of the past five years poured into that kiss at that moment.

As she awoke again, sunlight streamed through the window, a bit blinding. Yan Xiaoqi heard a cacophony of sounds around her.
"Looks like you were locked up for an entire night."
"Ah, I remember that girl; she wasn't wearing pink underwear that morning."
Yan Xiaoqi suddenly woke up, and in horror, she realized she was nestled in Jiang Yang's arms, his coat draped over her.
"You’re awake. Finally, someone has come. Let’s go home," Jiang Yang said as he tried to stand up, only to find that his limbs were completely numb from Yan Xiaoqi sitting on them.
While scolding him for being foolish, Yan Xiaoqi hurriedly helped him up. She understood that he had stayed in one position all night just to ensure she could sleep well. Afterward, despite Jiang Yang refusing to tell her his address, Yan Xiaoqi had no choice but to support him back to her home.
As soon as they entered the door, Jiang Yang suddenly grinned and said, "Madam, it’s truly hard work for you to support your husband all the way." With that, he scooped Yan Xiaoqi up and strode toward the bedroom.
It dawned on Yan Xiaoqi that his earlier weakness had all been an act!
"You jerk, put me down!" Yan Xiaoqi struggled in embarrassment and anger.
Jiang Yang gently placed her on the bed, his gaze soft and affectionate. "Although we are already married, we have yet to consummate our union. Last time you were so drunk and crying; I didn’t really touch you. So this time, let’s make up for it."
Yan Xiaoqi continued to struggle, but Jiang Yang tenderly brushed her hair aside and said softly, "Xiaoqi, five years ago I fell in love with a girl, but my father forced me to marry someone else. It took me five years of hardship to finally gain my freedom. Every single day during those five years, I thought of you." As he spoke, he gently kissed away the tears from the corner of her eyes and followed the trail of tears down her face.
Unable to contain the longing and grievances she had harbored for five years any longer, Yan Xiaoqi cried out loudly, "You wouldn’t even say you liked me back then; why should I wait for you for five years?"
"Can we make up for it now? I love you," Jiang Yang said, looking deeply into her eyes filled with affection.
**Epilogue**
The next day at the marriage registration office. Yan Xiaoqi stared in astonishment at the household registration book Jiang Yang handed her, her mouth agape in surprise.
"Your father is the real estate tycoon Jiang Zhenghan? And you broke up with the daughter of a real estate mogul?" Yan Xiaoqi asked in disbelief.
"Didn't you already know?" Jiang Yang replied, rolling his eyes at her.
"Why?" Yan Xiaoqi still looked puzzled.
Jiang Yang shot her another eye roll and said affectionately, "Honestly, I don't really understand... Maybe you're the first woman to ever treat me to a meal, maybe you're the most persistent woman I've ever met, or maybe you're just the most foolish woman I've encountered..."
"Jiang Yang!" Yan Xiaoqi pretended to be angry.
"Maybe you're just the woman I love the most..." Jiang Yang said, gazing at Yan Xiaoqi with warmth in his eyes.
Watching Yan Xiaoqi stare in shock, Jiang Yang sighed and said, "Let's go get our marriage certificate, Yan Xiaoqi."
It was only then that Yan Xiaoqi snapped back to reality and awkwardly replied, "Actually, I left our household registration book at home..."
Jiang Yang chuckled helplessly, and without another word, he drove them back home. Once there, he scooped Yan Xiaoqi into his arms and quickly locked the bedroom door.
As for the household registration book, it would probably have to wait until this couple was done with their little escapade before they went looking for it.
