After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

The two remained calm from nightfall until dawn.

Yao Ning slept until the sun was high in the sky before slowly waking up. When she woke up, Yan Zhiming was nowhere to be seen. The man who had been whispering sweet nothings to her last night was now all alone, and a sense of loneliness washed over her.

After calming down in bed for a while, she got up, washed up, and prepared to go to the kitchen to see what she could eat, as her stomach was already growling with hunger.

Unexpectedly, I saw the person I had just complained about sitting in the living room, engrossed in reading a book.

At this moment, he was completely different from how he usually was when he was with me. He looked solemn and dignified, and his glasses gave off an innate sense of aloofness, keeping people at arm's length.

It was as if an invisible barrier had been erected around him, preventing anyone from getting close, including his heart. Yao Ning disliked his current state, as it made her feel uncomfortable.

Yao Ning walked over quickly and plopped down on his lap without a care, snuggling tightly into his arms like a koala.

"What are you looking at so intently?" Yao Ning's voice was as soft and sweet as ever.

Yan Zhiming then came to his senses and realized there was someone next to him. He adjusted his glasses and smiled slightly. "You woke up without even calling me."

Yao Ning turned her head away in a huff, "Who told you to leave me all alone?"

Yan Zhiming sighed helplessly, hugged Yao Ning tightly in his arms, and gently patted her back as if comforting a wronged child. He asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

Yao Ning buried her face in Yan Zhiming's chest and asked in a muffled voice, "Do you like me because I'm young and beautiful, or do you simply like me as a person?"

"There are plenty of girls younger and prettier than you. If I liked someone, I would have liked them long ago. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Yao Ning asked softly again, "Do you love me? Will you protect me, trust me without reservation, never lose your temper with me, and always be honest and loyal to me?"

Although Yan Zhiming was puzzled by Yao Ning's current lack of security, he never considered deceiving her.

He said affectionately, "Of course I love you. Of course, maybe at first I was attracted by your beauty, but only you can make my heart flutter."

My love for you is what makes me so eager to be with you. If you feel insecure, we can get our marriage certificate now. I hope to spend every single moment of the rest of my life with you.

As Yao Ning listened to Yan Zhiming's words, her unease gradually dissipated.

The man before me, though lacking the youthful vigor of a young man, exuded an air of elegance and nobility in his speech and manner. His rich experience and composure made him even more charming.

This sense of calm and steadiness is like a warm harbor, making people feel incredibly safe and trusting.

She stretched out her soft hand and gently hugged Yan Zhiming's waist, feeling his warmth.

"I love you too, Yan Zhiming." Yao Ning's voice was as melodious and sweet as a nightingale's song.

Yan Zhiming's face lit up with a happy smile upon hearing Yao Ning's response. He embraced Yao Ning tightly, as if trying to embed her into the depths of his soul.

"Okay, let's go get our marriage certificate in a bit. How about it?" Yan Zhiming whispered in Yao Ning's ear, his voice full of temptation.

At this moment, the sunlight outside the window poured in like a golden veil, illuminating the two of them and creating a beautiful, dreamlike scene.

……

By the afternoon, the two had already obtained their marriage certificate.

Although it was an impulsive act that she couldn't help, Yao Ning didn't regret it, after all, she was already over thirty years old in her previous life.

She also knows what is most advantageous for herself. Yan Zhiming's current position allows her to live without having to worry about others' opinions and to do whatever she wants without having to work hard.

As for his only unresolved issue, it was that he couldn't let Yan Wenya live a carefree life.

When she first heard Yan Zhiming's surname, a doubt flashed through her mind, wondering if they were related.

But so what? It was precisely because of this slight suspicion that she couldn't wait to get her marriage certificate with Yan Zhiming.

It would be even more interesting if they were father and daughter. She wanted to take everything Yan Wenya possessed, and she longed to see Yan Wenya fall into the mire and never be able to get out.

As the saying goes, with a stepmother comes a stepfather. And her first step was to win his heart and give him whatever he wanted.

Yan Zhiming: "My friend is coming over tonight. We'll go grocery shopping, and I'll introduce him to you then?"

Yao Ning: "Is your friend around your age?"

"Hmm!" Something flashed in the man's eyes. The little woman kept mentioning her age, which was really annoying. He rubbed her head in frustration.

When the two returned home after grocery shopping, the sun had already set. Since they were planning to have hot pot that night, the process of preparing the ingredients was a bit complicated.

The two were sweetly preparing hot pot when Yao Ning's phone suddenly rang. She hurriedly answered the call, and looking at the unfamiliar number, she was filled with doubt.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Big sister, it's me, Yaodong." A hoarse, duck-like voice came from the phone, indicating that he was currently in the awkward stage of puberty.

"Yaodong, what's up? Why are you calling me?"

Yao Ning and her younger brother Yao Dong have a decent relationship. Although their parents are biased, her brother is very sensible and will protect Yao Ning, so sometimes she can't help but soften her heart towards him.

Yao Dong: "I just called home and Mom said you're sick. What's wrong? Is it serious? Do you need me to come and take care of you? How about I take the day off tomorrow to come see you?"

His words contained both inquiry and a hint of urgency, clearly showing that he was genuinely worried about Yao Ning.

"I'm fine, don't worry, and don't take leave, otherwise you'll fall behind in your studies. Just focus on your studies and work hard to get into high school."

"Big sister, we were having a nice chat, there's no need to bring up studying, it's such a downer. You know I have absolutely no interest in studying. I get drowsy in class and my eyes close as soon as I open a book. I was even thinking of coming to work with you after graduating from junior high."

He genuinely disliked studying, but his family forced him to, so he managed to get a junior high school diploma so he could go out and make his way in the world. He heard from his friends in the village that things were fun outside, and he longed to go.

Yao Ning frowned: "You're only 17 years old after graduating from junior high school. Don't let Jiang Wei and the others bewitch you. Do you really think the outside world is paradise? Without education, you can only go to work in a factory, where you'll be working all day long and you'll hardly ever be able to leave the factory gate."

"If you don't go to work in a factory, you'd better start picking up watermelon rinds as soon as possible, otherwise you won't even get a chance to pick them up. If you really can't get into high school, then you can try for a vocational school."

In his previous life, he attended a vocational high school, where he studied computer science. He met his younger brother and sister-in-law at school, and they got married after graduation. A year later, they had a nephew, and their family was considered happy and harmonious.

Yao Dong's voice betrayed a hint of displeasure, but she still replied, "Alright, I'll listen to you, sister."
