52: Chapter 52 My Roommate is the Female Lead (12)

Aunt Jiang was truly shocked to see Xu Zeqian bringing his family to her door.

Xu Chengan had already told them about Jiang Wan and him when he returned, and Jiang Wan had also resigned and come home after finishing her internship.

Aunt Jiang was not optimistic about her niece's relationship with Xu Zeqian; in fact, it should be said that no one in the Xu Family was optimistic about it.

The gap between the two families was simply too large.

Unexpectedly, only a few days after Jiang Wan returned home, Xu Zeqian arrived with his family in tow.

He hadn't even given advance notice, which was far too surprising.

The moment Xu Zeqian's mother saw Aunt Jiang, she warmly began calling her 'Big Sister,' without a hint of the arrogance one might expect from a wealthy noblewoman.

And what about Xu Zeqian's father? Although he was the head of the family, at this moment, Chairman Xu—who was usually solemn at the company—was full of smiles when facing Uncle Jiang.

Since they were so sincere and Jiang Wan liked him, Aunt Jiang naturally wouldn't be the one to break up the happy couple.

Aunt Jiang was very satisfied with Xu Zeqian. When she first found out that Jiang Wan and Xu Zeqian were together, she held a different opinion from the three men in her family.

She felt that although Xu Zeqian came from a wealthy family, he was a reliable person; if he said he would treat Jiang Wan well, he absolutely would.

Her niece would have to get married sooner or later, and she didn't want the niece she had raised so well to suffer with some poor boy in the future.

Don't call her materialistic; every elder hopes their child's life will become better when it comes to choosing a partner.

Aunt Jiang had seen a TV drama where a wealthy young lady abandoned her parents, luxury cars, and mansions for a poor boy.

She thought the bowl of white porridge the poor boy made with his own hands was more fragrant than the meticulously prepared meals at home.

When Aunt Jiang watched it back then, she couldn't help but curse at the screen, thinking it was truly idiotic.

Therefore, she hoped that Jiang Wan would never have to worry about life in the future.

Sincerity may be fickle, but based on her understanding, her niece was not a brainless person; she would definitely make a choice that was beneficial to her.

Her niece was not the type to be a brainless romantic with no independent thoughts.

During the first meeting between the parents, both sides were very satisfied.

When Xu Zeqian's parents saw Jiang Wan, their eyes lit up.

Not only was she beautiful, but her temperament was not at all inferior to those young ladies from prestigious families.

Furthermore, the Xu Family had developed to a point where they didn't need to rely on their children sacrificing their marriages.

Satisfied, they were very satisfied.

Both sides agreed to hold the wedding after graduation.

With the parents' consent, the parties involved, Jiang Wan and Xu Zeqian, were naturally satisfied as well.

On graduation day, Xu Zeqian held a grand proposal ceremony for Jiang Wan with drones, large screen displays, and hot air balloons, making all the girls in the school green with envy.

The wedding day was even more packed with distinguished guests; the parking lot couldn't even hold all the cars.

Those socialite ladies felt a surge of jealousy when they saw the unknown Jiang Wan capture such an outstanding man like Xu Zeqian.

They all wanted to know what Jiang Wan looked like to be able to snag such an elite 'diamond bachelor.'

But when they were at the wedding and saw the heavenly beauty of Jiang Wan, that jealousy actually vanished.

They couldn't compare; they really couldn't compare!

Jiang Wan didn't know how much others envied her; she only felt like she was about to die of exhaustion.

If it were up to her, they would have just registered the marriage; why hold a wedding? It was practically torture for the newlyweds.

She had been standing in high heels for so long that her face was going stiff from smiling.

Jiang Wan complained boldly in her heart, but she also knew that this wedding had to be held.

However, why couldn't it be a bit more streamlined? Why book such a massive venue?

Jiang Wan's bridesmaids today were her three roommates: Li Yuzhu, Yang Yuxin, and Liu Yiyi. Li Yuzhu and Yang Yuxin were shocked to learn Jiang Wan had landed their school's male god, but they were genuinely happy for her.

As for Liu Yiyi, she felt a bit jealous of Jiang Wan in her heart.

She was also with the school's male gods—three of them, in fact.

They were all very good to her, giving her houses, cars, and jewelry without blinking. However, Liu Yiyi knew they couldn't give her a grand wedding like this.

Sometimes, Liu Yiyi wondered if she would just stay by their side forever without any official status.

She was still young now, but what about when she got older? Where would she go then?

But she was unwilling to leave these three men now.

Having finally married Jiang Wan and brought her home, Xu Zeqian was overjoyed.

On their wedding night, Xu Zeqian pulled Jiang Wan into one round after another.

Jiang Wan felt she couldn't take any more and begged for mercy, but Xu Zeqian still wouldn't let go.

"Baby, it's been so long since we've done it. Don't you miss me?"

It was all the fault of her second older brother in the military, who insisted it was auspicious for the newlyweds not to see each other for a month and made him strictly follow that rule.

Hmph. Xu Zeqian was fuming. What 'inauspicious'? What a load of crap. When the eldest brother-in-law got married, why didn't he know about this rule? It was just that the man found him annoying and wanted to make things difficult for him.

He appealed, but that second brother-in-law remained unmoved.

If he wanted to marry his sister, he had to follow this rule.

Left with no choice, for the sake of his dear wife's family, Xu Zeqian had to agree.

It just so happened he had to go on a business trip for half a month anyway, so enduring it for a month was fine.

Fine, so be it.

It was only a month. After this month, he could sleep with his wife in his arms every day.

Seeing her new husband's look of unsatisfied desire, Jiang Wan could only go along with his wishes.

Anyway, they didn't need to use protection anymore. At their current pace, this man would probably have to be celibate again very soon.

But Xu Zeqian, in his excitement, wasn't thinking that far ahead. He just felt that today was their wedding night, and he certainly couldn't waste such a beautiful spring evening.

Not only that, Xu Zeqian even took Jiang Wan on a honeymoon that lasted for two months.

If it weren't for Jiang Wan getting pregnant, Xu Zeqian wouldn't have wanted to come back; he had originally taken three months of leave.

Sigh, what a pity. Good times always fly by so fast.

Now, he wouldn't be able to touch his wife for a long time again.

Aside from Xu Zeqian being unhappy, everyone else in the family was extremely joyful. Why? Because Jiang Wan was pregnant with twins this time!

This was wonderful news!

Xu Zeqian's parents were overjoyed, repeatedly saying how blessed Jiang Wan was.

And it was true—whose daughter-in-law gets pregnant right after marriage, and with twins to boot? If this wasn't being blessed, what was?

After becoming pregnant, Jiang Wan became a protected species in the house. Aside from her belly getting larger, her limbs remained slender.

If the doctor hadn't firmly stated that both the children and the mother were healthy, Mother Xu would have replaced the family chef.

A few months later, Jiang Wan gave birth to a pair of twin boys.

Xu Zeqian was unhappy again.

"How are they both boys? Why couldn't there be a girl? The heavens are too unfair to me."

But Xu Zeqian didn't dare say this in front of Jiang Wan, because his wife had worked so hard to give birth to them, and he couldn't hurt her feelings.

However, when Mother Xu saw Xu Zeqian acting so dismissive of his own children, she immediately smacked him a few times.

"If we don't have one, we don't have one! Who are you pulling that long face for? Don't act like this in front of Wanwan, do you hear me? Wanwan is in her postpartum recovery; you can't upset her."

Xu Zeqian clutched his head and could only obediently agree.

Hmph, he knew it. Now that there were grandsons, he, the son, had no status left.

Xu Zeqian looked at his father, seeing him gazing at the two children in the crib with a face beaming like a flower.

Sigh, only his wife was good; she would feel bad for him.

He was becoming less and less welcome in this house.

Jiang Wan gave birth to two children that year, and five years later, she gave birth to a daughter, providing Xu Zeqian with the 'little padded jacket' he had been longing for.

With children, the house became much livelier.

After having grandchildren, Father Xu retired early and handed the company over to his eldest son, while he stayed at home to look after the grandkids.

The younger son went off to become a celebrity to chase his dreams, and to protect his brother, Xu Zeqian even opened an entertainment company for him.

As for Jiang Wan, after having three children, she 'closed the factory.'

She had to; Xu Zeqian had gotten a vasectomy, leaving her no chance to try for a third pregnancy even if she wanted to.

To keep Jiang Wan from getting bored, Mother Xu would take her traveling around the world from time to time and even gave her a wine estate to ensure she had more assets to her name.

Jiang Wan was delighted. Look at that—the opportunity to get filthy rich had arrived.

She had to stock up on more red wine and keep it in her space to drink slowly in the future.

In these past few worlds, her space hadn't been used much, and the items inside hadn't decreased at all.

Life in the Xu Family was flourishing day by day.

Occasionally, Jiang Wan would hear about Liu Yiyi's situation from Xu Zeqian.

She heard that none of the men were willing to let Liu Yiyi marry just one of them, feeling it would be unfair to the remaining two.

But so what if it was unfair? Could they let Liu Yiyi marry each of them once? Wouldn't that be bigamy?

As they grew older, Lin Yuchen was the first to be unable to hold out.

After all, he was the only son in his family; he couldn't be without an heir!

Moreover, the child couldn't be illegitimate. If word got out, how could the Lin family show their faces?

Lin Yuchen sought Liu Yiyi's opinion again, but Liu Yiyi didn't want to hurt the other two, so she rejected Lin Yuchen's proposal.

Then, Lin Yuchen withdrew from the small group and married a socialite arranged by his family. Soon after the wedding, they had a child.

Liu Yiyi thought that even after Lin Yuchen got married, he wouldn't be able to let her go and would surely return to her side, and that the wife at home would just be a decoration.

But she never expected that after Lin Yuchen withdrew, he never came to see her again.

Even when he ran into her at gatherings, he pretended not to know her, treating her like a stranger and only caring for the wife by his side.

Liu Yiyi regretted it immensely. She had liked Lin Yuchen since school. It was just that later, being with those few men and being pampered by them, her heart had drifted, and she thought they simply couldn't live without her.

Liu Yiyi learned her lesson and agreed when Zhao Wenrui proposed to her.

Anyway, Zhao Wenrui didn't mind her sleeping with Qi Yun; after the marriage, the three of them could still be together.

She felt that if she didn't grab onto one of them, she would end up with nothing in the end.

As for what would happen in the future, she would deal with that when it came.

Xu Zeqian kept his promise and treated Jiang Wan well for a lifetime. Before he passed away, he told Jiang Wan to live well and look after the children for him.

Two years after Xu Zeqian left, Jiang Wan also passed away.

Everything at home was fine. As the sole ancestor, she couldn't eat this or do that; it was utterly boring.

So, in her sleep, Xiao Lingdang took her away.

She died of old age without illness or pain—a 'happy funeral.' The children were mentally prepared, and Jiang Wan believed they would get through it.
