Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Family Rules (Request for Monthly Tickets 1)_1

Her sincere "no" earlier, he had taken as her saying, "when a girl says no, she actually means yes."

So, her so-called training this morning was equivalent to digging herself into a hole and shooting herself in the foot?

Ah, now she truly understood what those girls online had been saying: when expressing your thoughts to your straight-guy boyfriend, always be clear and direct; never beat around the bush, or you could end up like this.

If you ask your straight-guy boyfriend for a glass of warm water, he’ll bring you boiling water; if you say "not this hot," he’ll serve you iced water...

The next day, Xia Wan’an, with a nearly broken waist, managed to drag herself out of bed at noon.

Puzzled, she felt something similar to paper when she tried to reach for her phone. Glancing over, she discovered a large bunch of flowers on her bedside table, with a note attached saying ’Good morning.’

The card was very much Han Jingnian’s style.

However, Xia Wan’an, staring at the two simple words, pursed her lips and chuckled - it seemed as though steel-willed Han Jingnian wasn’t a lost cause after all.

After freshening up, Xia Wan’an took the flowers, arranged them in a vase, cooked some food in the kitchen, and filled her stomach. As she lounged on the couch, playing with a small mirror while thinking about Han Jingnian’s poor health, she picked up her phone and sent him a lengthy text message.

"House rules:

Eat at least one meal at home every day;

Must visit the gym at least three times a week;

Establish regular sleep and wake cycles, you must sleep no later than 11 p.m. every night;

Refrain from alcohol and second-hand smoke. Do not stay in an environment with second-hand smoke for more than half an hour. Do not consume alcohol unless absolutely necessary, and if so, only drink moderately,"

These were the result of half a night’s research by Xia Wan’an to salvage Han Jingnian’s poor health.

After successfully sending the message, she received his response only half an hour later, a mere "Okay."

Okay? Just like that? She pulled a face, not replying to Han Jingnian’s message, she would keep an eye on him to ensure he follows, whether he likes it or not.

Xia Wan’an didn’t know that these few simple house rules would drastically change Han Jingnian’s long-established lifestyle and label her as a tigress. Three months later, anyone who mentioned Han Jingnian in Beijing all said the same thing: ’Mr. Han has quit drinking, his wife made him do it; Mr. Han doesn’t entertain, take calls or work after 11 p.m., that’s his wife’s orders; Mr. Han goes to the gym on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons, won’t accept any work appointments, orders from his wife.’ Of course, that was all future talk.

...

The premiere of Qin Shujian’s movie was on a weekend.

Xia Wan’an and she had planned to watch the premiere together, so naturally, Xia wouldn’t break the date. By four o’clock in the afternoon, Xia Wan’an had stepped out, reaching the agreed location around five o’clock, just fifteen minutes before the movie started.

Qin Shujian was already waiting in the cinema. When Xia Wan’an walked in, she noticed Qin Shujian immediately waving at her from the middle seat of the third row - the best spot in the whole cinema. "Xia," she began,

But after two words, she stopped abruptly. Puzzled, Xia Wan’an followed her gaze and saw a very familiar person...
