Ruan Zhining slid to the ground and rested for ten minutes.

She comforted herself, thinking that since she already had 100 million, she could just consider the 200,000 refund as a withdrawal fee; that's how capitalists operate.

She quickly calmed herself down and began to analyze the progress of the battle during breakfast.

Just now, Wen Chongyan left indifferently and quickly—this should be a sign of his growing impatience.

He's so smart, he'll definitely understand her hint that she "wants to get married".

But he didn't say anything, which was a bit strange.

Perhaps Wen Chongyan thought she was just making a fuss and wouldn't pose any threat to him.

Usually, a woman's unreasonable and nagging annoys and disgusts a man because it is affecting his normal life.

Otherwise, it's just scratching the surface.

Wen Chongyan returned home that evening. He didn't look too happy.

Ruan Zhining went up to greet him, but he only glanced at her, hummed in response, and then went upstairs.

She seemed to ignore him. Looks like she succeeded.

Ruan Zhining's mood improved. She ran upstairs again to knock on Wen Chongyan's study door, continuing her "harassment".

This time, Wen Chongyan's attitude towards her was not as good as last night—he grabbed her by the back of her collar and dragged her out.

He coldly warned her not to disturb his meeting again. His tone was quite fierce.

But he wasn't in a meeting at all—

Ruan Zhining glanced at the large screen in front of his desk, which displayed an anatomical diagram of the heart.

Experts are explaining things like "under what circumstances a healthy, disease-free heart will beat faster."

So he wasn't in a meeting, he was just casually watching videos, he just didn't want to talk to her!

Very good!

Ruan Zhining became even happier. She went back to her room to do her own thing—continue selling secondhand items.

The time to leave is fast approaching.

She needs to get rid of everything she has on hand as soon as possible.

Five days until the end of the three-month countdown.

As soon as Ruan Zhining got up, she would cling to Wen Chongyan.

While having breakfast, she deliberately played a video of her classmate's wedding and asked him if it was beautiful and romantic.

Wen Chongyan kept his head down, cutting the fish fillets, ignoring her and letting her chatter on and on.

He left after finishing his meal.

Day 4 of the countdown to the end.

Ruan Zhining delivered a meal to Wen Chongyan at Wenrui Group. The lunchbox had the word "marry" printed in large English on it.

Wen Chongyan saw it, paused for a moment, and continued eating expressionlessly. He didn't speak to her the entire time.

He didn't even look at her.

Day 3 of the countdown to the end.

When Ruan Zhining woke up in the morning, she found that Wen Chongyan had gone on a business trip to another city without telling her.

She called Assistant Shao and learned the truth—

Wen Chongyan went to attend a friend's wedding.

The wedding was on the second day at noon.

He went ahead of time. Perhaps she had been acting "too annoying" and "too whiny" these past few days, which annoyed him to no end.

It would take at least two days to go round trip. But he has a private jet, so it would be faster.

She could only wait and see.

Day 2 of the countdown to the end.

Wen Chong has not returned yet.

Ruan Zhining sent him a WeChat message: [Mr. Wen, I heard from Assistant Shao that you went to a wedding. Did you look beautiful? Could you send me some photos?]

"The other party is typing..."

Five minutes later.

W: [No video was taken, it was just like that]

W: [Bored]

Oh, the answer I expected.

Ruan Zhining: [Sigh, how could I be bored? A wedding is the happiest thing in the world! I really hope I can have a wedding too~]

Wen Chongyan did not reply to her.

Ruan Zhining sent another message: 【Mr. Wen, when are you coming back?】

W: [Tomorrow night, early morning]

Tomorrow night at dawn. Then... these three months will be over.

Tomorrow is the last day!

Ruan Zhining thought for a moment, then tentatively sent a message: "Then, shall I wait for you to come back at Tanyuan? I'll wait for you at the gate."

She thought that it would be best if Wen Chongyan directly asked her to move out—

W: [No need, I'm going to the temple with my mother to pray for blessings, we'll be back the next morning.]

W: [You go to sleep.]

disappointment.

Why didn't he kick her out?

Has he forgotten that his three-month evaluation period for his girlfriend is over?

Ruan Zhining didn't dare to bring up ending it herself, for fear of offending his dignity.

Men have a strong sense of self-esteem, let alone a top-tier tycoon like Wen Chongyan.

She brought it up herself, which would definitely upset him, and he might even demand the 100 million yuan back. She absolutely couldn't take that risk.

Moreover, based on Wen Chongyan's reactions over the past seven days, it's clear that he has absolutely no desire to marry her.

He would give her the cold shoulder whenever she mentioned anything related to marriage.

He just wanted her to continue being a toy.

If she doesn't "make a fuss," he might want to keep her as a toy indefinitely, which would be terrifying.

With this in mind, Ruan Zhining continued to increase his bets:

Mr. Wen, will your prayers include me? Or will they bring us a future?

Wen Chongyan did not reply.

Ruan Zhining knew, of course, that he wouldn't reply. It would be terrifying if he did.

She put away her phone and went downstairs to find Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang is a long-time resident of Tanyuan, reportedly having lived there for ten years, and she has a good personal relationship with Wen Chongyan.

"Aunt Zhang~ Your egg yolk pastries are so delicious~ They smell so good, I'm so lucky! Aunt Zhang is beautiful, kind, and skillful~"

Ruan Zhining hugged Zhang Ma and snuggled against her shoulder.

She was beautiful and had a sweet tongue. Zhang Ma was charmed by her and patted her gently.

"Miss Ruan, I'll keep making this for you if you like it."

"I'd like to... but it seems Mr. Wen doesn't want me to stay anymore..."

"How could that be? Did he really say that?" Aunt Zhang asked in surprise.

"Hmm..." Ruan Zhining said sadly, "Aunt Zhang, tomorrow night is Lunar New Year's Eve, and I want to go to Mr. Wen to express my feelings... He said he's at a temple praying for his mother, could you tell me which temple it is?"

of course can.

Apart from Wen Chongyan, green tea is invincible.

Ruan Zhining successfully obtained the name of the temple, which was located on a mountain near Beijing.

The countdown to the end is on its final day.

During the day, Ruan Zhining watched sad Korean dramas at home and cried her eyes out. She didn't use Douyin (TikTok) all day to keep her mood low.

She didn't even eat. She didn't wash her hair, didn't put on makeup, and made herself look listless.

Dejected, resentful, and annoying.

This was the first time she had met a man, and she wasn't dressed up at all.

In the evening, Ruan Zhining changed into her most unfashionable down jacket, looking bulky and disheveled, before heading out to the temple.

On the eve of the Lunar New Year, there were very few people in the temple.

Ruan Zhining climbed up for thirty minutes, panting heavily.

Holding flowers in her hands, she respectfully did not enter the temple, but instead asked the bodyguards guarding outside to help her call Wen Chongyan out.

The bodyguard had seen her in Danyuan, so he did as she asked.

Ten minutes later.

Wen Chongyan walked out of the temple. He was wearing a black cashmere coat, with deep-set features, and a tall and handsome figure.

He saw Ruan Zhining, his brows furrowed noticeably, and his gaze fell on the flowers she was holding, his eyes suddenly shifting.

He asked her in a low, cold voice, "How did you find this place?"

Ruan Zhining did not answer this question.

She walked toward him, but not quite close, stopping at roughly the same spot.

She slowly raised her head, her large eyes staring straight at him:

"Mr. Wen, it's almost midnight... Our agreed-upon three-month period is about to end."

"I think... I probably didn't pass the test. If I had successfully become your girlfriend, you wouldn't have been so cold to me these past few days..."

"We're about to have no relationship whatsoever."

"But I'm not willing to accept this. I don't want to miss out on such a wonderful man like you, who is top-notch in every way... I don't want to leave you like this."

"Mr. Wen, I... I want to marry you. I want to marry you and become your rightful wife. Will you... will you marry me?"
