Taking You as My Wife

Jiang Bei has considered Bai Qing his future wife since they were children. This lively girl is always bouncing around, picking fights, and getting into mischief. She can be a bit of a headache for the gentle, refined young man, but Jiang Bei says, “I don’t mind having a headache.”

Bai Qing has known since childhood that her mother likes Jiang Bei and wants to take this other family’s child in as her own son. Her mother is always comparing the two and making Bai Qing feel bad, but since he’s fair-skinned, with a slim waist and long legs, Bai Qing has decided to forgive him! She can’t help it: she’s just that kindhearted, and a sucker for good looks.

Bai’s mother thinks her daughter is nowhere near good enough for her best friend’s son. He’s handsome and well-behaved, so whichever way she looks at it, her daughter has landed an incredible bargain. Bai’s mother is constantly fretting that her silly girl just doesn’t get it, and spends every day figuring out how to bring the two closer. Ah, a parent’s love truly knows no bounds!

Classmate B: “That pretty boy is so weak and bookish. What can he do besides study?”

Bai Qing: “You’re proud of being dark? With those muscles and that face, anyone who didn’t know better would think you were a macho Barbie.”

Classmate B: “…” Jiang Bei, I hear you’re good at basketball. How about a match?”

Bai Qing: “I’ll take you on! I’ll use your head as the hoop and give you a Shaq-style slam dunk!”

Classmate B: “…” Jiang Bei, what kind of man hides behind a woman and lets her stand up for him? If you’ve got the guts, come out here!”

Jiang Bei: “I’m happy when my wife protects me. I love how much she cares about me.”
