Chapter 2: Like Last Night, Alright?  

Su Ruanruan had no idea how things had unfolded.

By the time she realized what was happening, she was already lying on the heated brick bed, and a cool sensation was brushing against her skin.  

But that sensation lasted only for a moment.  

Soon, a scorching hot body pressed against hers.

Su Ruanruan instinctively raised her hand to push back, only to be met with a burning, rock-hard surface.

Her fingers twitched slightly, tracing the distinct separation beneath her touch.  

These… are abs, right?!  

“Are you satisfied?”  

Hearing Fu Wenjing’s amused inquiry, Su Ruanruan’s face instantly turned crimson.  

Even though she couldn’t see herself, she could feel the heat radiating from her face—it was probably hot enough to fry an egg.  

Clearing her throat, she tried to steady her voice, but there was still a hint of hoarseness: “It’s… it’s alright!”  

“It seems my wife has high standards. I’ll do my best to make sure you’re satisfied.”  

Su Ruanruan wanted to say something, but the moment she parted her lips, her words were muffled by something warm and soft, leaving her only able to let out a low whimper.  

The night had only just begun, and it was destined to be a long one… 

---

Su Ruanruan didn’t know when she had fallen asleep. She only felt an ache in her waist and back, her legs sore and swollen. Her eyelids were so heavy they felt glued together, and her mind was a muddled mess. In the end, she couldn’t hold on any longer and drifted into deep slumber.  

By the time she woke up again, it was already the next morning, with daylight streaming in.  

As Su Ruanruan slowly opened her eyes, she felt the soreness all over her body and cursed in her heart—beast.  

Fu Wenjing, when clothed, exuded an air of restraint and self-control. But once those clothes were off, he was pure temptation.  

Even now, as she recalled everything, she had lost count of how many times he had taken her.  

A nearly thirty-year-old man who hadn’t married before—once he did, he was truly terrifying!  

But she had to admit, the experience was… quite satisfying.

Fu Wenjing appeared somewhat aloof, yet he possessed undeniable warmth and attentiveness. He was extremely considerate of her feelings and was not the kind of man who only cared about his own pleasure.  

“What are you thinking about?”  

Su Ruanruan who was lost in her thoughts, suddenly heard Fu Wenjing’s slightly hoarse voice, causing her body to tremble slightly.  

Before she could respond, his strong, well-defined arm had already wrapped around her waist.  

Fu Wenjing’s hands were large, his fingers long and slender, with calluses on his palms and fingertips.  

As he gently rubbed her waist, a tingling sensation spread across her skin.  

Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Su Ruanruan shifted slightly and turned her head to look at him. “I just didn’t expect to get married like this.”  

“I didn’t expect it either.” Fu Wenjing let out a low chuckle, his dark, bright eyes locking onto hers. “But don’t worry, I’ll treat you well.”  

Su Ruanruan had transmigrated last night, but she had never considered stubbornly resisting, nor did she intend to be a wife in name only.  

The 1970s was a unique era—one that did not allow for excessive sentimentality.  

If she had truly refused last night, Su Ruanruan believed that Fu Wenjing would never have forced her.

However, their relationship would have had no chance to develop. In nine days, once his leave ended, Fu Wenjing would return to his Military Unit. He would leave without hesitation, and he certainly wouldn’t take her with him.  

By then, she would be left alone in the Fu family household, not only dealing with an entire family by herself but also facing the troublesome Su family.

At that point, she would have nowhere to turn for help.  

If she wanted to survive in this era and live the life she desired, she had to become Fu Wenjing’s wife in every sense of the word.

These nine days were her only chance to build a connection with him and ensure that he took her along when he returned to the Military Unit.  

Besides, Fu Wenjing wasn’t just handsome with a pleasant voice—he looked lean in clothes but was well-built underneath. Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, a perfect V-line, and an eight-pack. He could lift her effortlessly.  

He held a high-ranking position in the Military Unit, had a generous allowance, and beneath his seemingly cold exterior, he was actually gentle and considerate.  

A husband of such high quality—one she couldn’t have found even with a lantern in her past life—had now been handed to her on a silver platter.

She was definitely not at a disadvantage!  

Su Ruanruan blinked and deliberately asked: “Then how do you plan to treat me well?”  

Fu Wenjing thought for a moment before replying: “Like last night, alright?”  

As soon as he finished speaking, a grin spread across his lips.

Su Ruanruan’s face instantly turned bright red.  

Early in the morning, and he was already flirting like this—who said people in this era were reserved?  

Just as she was about to respond, a sudden knock on the door interrupted her.  

“Seventh’s Wife, are you up yet?”  

Fu Wenjing was the seventh son in the Fu family, and now that Su Ruanruan had married him, she was naturally called Seventh’s Wife.  

Before she could reply, another voice chimed in from outside.  

“Eldest Son’s Wife, what are you doing?”  

“Mother, I’m calling Seventh’s Wife to get up. It’s already broad daylight, and she’s still in bed instead of making breakfast. What kind of new daughter-in-law does that? When I first entered this family, I was up before dawn to cook. Mother, you have to be fair and treat us all equally. You can’t favor her just because she’s the youngest daughter-in-law.”  

“What favoritism? Are you sleep-talking? On your second day in this house, you slept until the sun was high in the sky. Eldest Son had already gone to the fields and come back, and he was the one who brought you breakfast in bed. Have you forgotten?”  

“Big Sister-in-law, is that true? Why have I never heard this story before? So Big Brother was actually so caring back then? Then why is he—”  

“Second Son’s Wife, you shut up too! If you have so much free time, go wash the clothes. The pile is so filthy you could peel a layer off it—aren’t you ashamed? Eldest Son’s Wife, hurry up and make breakfast. It’s your turn today. Don’t think you can bully Seventh’s Wife just because she’s new. I’m not dead yet, and this house is not yours to control!”  

With that, the argument abruptly ended. Su Ruanruan heard a cold huff, followed by footsteps gradually fading into the distance.  

She hadn’t even said a single word, and the situation had already been handled.

Her mother-in-law was truly worthy of being Captain’s Wife—her combat power was formidable!  

As she was marveling at this in her heart, she heard Fu Wenjing’s amused voice. “Our mother is pretty impressive, isn’t she?”  

“She really is!” Su Ruanruan praised her sincerely.  

“Mother is a fair and just person. She sticks to the rules, so you don’t have to worry about those sisters-in-law trying to impose anything on you. It’s still early—go back to sleep for a while.”  

“What about you?”  

“I’m getting up to fetch water. Father said yesterday that the family’s private plot needs irrigation. I’ve been away for years, and now that I’m home, I should help out.”  

“Then I’ll get up too. I won’t be able to sleep anyway.”  

One thing was for sure—people in this era woke up incredibly early.  

With no nightlife and only the Brigade Headquarters having electricity, the rest of the households didn’t even have a single electric light. Once it got dark, everyone went to bed early, and naturally, they woke up early too.  

With the whole family already up and about, Su Ruanruan couldn’t just keep lying on the heated brick bed alone.  

Supporting herself with one hand, she sat up. However, the moment she moved, the blanket slipped down from her body. Startled, she let out a soft gasp and quickly grabbed the blanket to cover herself.
