Chapter 187: 145 Grandfather Wu's personal commitment, a ridiculous dream It was a freezing winter night, and the neon lights were as bright as day.
Jiang Jinsang had mentioned earlier that the private room was not soundproof, and Tang Wan was worried he might have heard something he shouldn't have, and unfortunately, he did, all thanks to Ruan Mengxi's nonsense.
It wasn't until they were almost hthat Tang Wan coughed and said, "Fifth Brother, don't take to heart what Xixi said..." "Rumors are already circulating outside, I can understand her having such thoughts." "Mm." By then, the car had stopped near the Jiang Family house and Tang Wan quickly opened the door to get out, having discussed something privately with her best friend only to have the person concerned overhear, Tang Wan was embarrassed.
She walked quickly forward, but suddenly, a dog sprang out from the side and barked at her.
"Woof-" Her mind was preoccupied, and unguarded, she was startled by the sudden bark, letting out an involuntary cry, as if losing her soul, and instinctively wanted to run...
Jiang Jinsang thought something had happened to her, so he hurried forward and embraced her tightly.
"Woof, woof-" The dog, mostly a bully that was scared of resistance, seeing Tang Wan cower, barked even more cheerfully, wagging its tail around her.
"What's wrong? Afraid of the dog?” Jiang Jinsang immediately pulled her into his arms.
"Not really..." Tang Wan wasn't afraid of dogs, but it was dark and quiet around, and the sudden appearance and barking of a dog truly frightened her; she clutched Jiang Jinsang's clothes tightly, panting, still scared.
"Look at the dog..." Jiang Jinsang patted her on the back.
Feeling a bit calmer, Tang Wan turned her head to look at the dog beside her; it was just a small Teddy. Someone in the distance called out to it, and it dashed away.
"Feeling better?" Jiang Jinsang was witnessing Tang Wan in such a frightened state for the first time, and he found it quite amusing.
"Mm." Tang Wan struggled slightly and pulled away from his embrace.
"Next tyou get out of the car, wait for me." Jiang Jinsang confidently took her hand and walked towards the house. Just as they entered, they saw Tang Yunxian.

"Dad, you're back!” Tang Wan naturally pulled her hand from Jiang Jinsang's palm and changed into slippers to go inside.
"Just got here, how was your outing?" "It was nice, I even bought you something, I'll get it for you." "No rush, we can talk about it tomorrow." "Are you hungry, I can make something for you to eat." Tang Yunxian nodded, his arrival hadn't disturbed the Jiang family.
Tang Wan took off her coat and went into the kitchen, then Jiang Jinsang stepped forward and greeted, "Uncle Tang." "You and Wanwan are just pretending, do you need to make it so convincing? There's no one else at hright now, do you need to hold hands so tightly?" Tang Yunxian eyed him, his tone not so pleasant.
Even with a hint of questioning? At this moment, he thought their relationship, although facilitated by the elders of both families, was still just a pretense. He worried about his daughter being wronged, and besides, Jiang Jinsang was a man...
Who had the potential to be a womanizer, so he had to be cautious.
"Actually, we..." Jiang Jinsang was about to say something when Tang Wan cout of the kitchen, "Dad, I'll just make you snoodles." "Okay." Tang Yunxian smiled at her, a stark contrast to a moment ago.
Jiang Jinsang did not linger in the living room but went to his room to wash up, leaving space for the father and daughter.
Meanwhile, Tang Wan's phone vibrated, and she quickly received a text from Jiang Jinsang: "Cto my room later, I have something to talk to you about." Tang Wan bit her lip, unsure what he was up to.
** About half an hour later, Jiang Jinsang heard a knock on the door and couldn't help but chuckle.
Taking the formal route now, actually knocking? Tang Wan was worried Jiang Jinsang would ask about the things Ruan Mengxi had said; standing at the door, her heart thumped wildly, and when the door opened, her heart seemed to be clutched tightly, her breath almost taken away.
He had apparently just taken a shower, wearing a loose bathrobe tied loosely at the waist, exposing a patch of skin from his collarbone downward, always had a faint medicinal scent mixed with a refreshing hint of mint.
The room was extremely warm, a wave of heat hitting her, and Tang Wan felt a tightness in her throat, her body unconsciously growing hot.
"Cin," Jiang Jinsang stepped aside to let her into the room.
"Let's just talk here." Intuition told her that entering the room might not end well.
Jiang Cuo and Jiang Jiu were standing not far away, watching the two at the door, unaware of what exactly had transpired abroad between them. It seemed like nothing had changed, yet something was distinctly different.
Jiang Jinsang turned his head to look at the two not far away, "Are you sure you want to talk about physical matters here?" Tang Wan's breath deepened, “I'm quite tired, how about we talk about this tomorrow?" As expected, it still had to be about that matter.
After all, every man cares a lot about this sort of thing, and Jiang Jinsang was no exception. Tang Wan only hated Ruan Mengxi at this moment for her loose lips, letting him overhear.
Actually, the fact that Jiang Jinsang didn't confront her on the spot was already quite commendable.
After all, having that aspect of oneself questioned... probably no one could sit still! As soon as she took a step, an arm crossed her waist. Jiang Jinsang seemed to be slender and frail, but Tang Wan knew all too well, if it cto resisting, she couldn't.
The arm exerted force, and easily pulled her entire body back into his embrace, Tang Wan slamming into his chest, her nose grazing his skin...
The heat was sweltering, numbing the tip of her nose.
"I don't like to procrastinate on today's matters to tomorrow, let's talk tonight," he said with a slight force, pulling her into the room and slamming the door shut.
Jiang Cuo rubbed his nose, "Damn, what's the rush?" Tang Wan knew, if it was about discussing physical matters, she wouldn't cout on top. She raised her hand to open the door to leave, but Jiang Jinsang was faster, pinning her against the door, one hand still around her waist, the other grasping her hand, holding it to one side.
When he pressed closer, Tang Wan felt all the stamina drain from her body.
The light at the entrance was dim, casting shadows on their faces. Tang Wan's face suddenly turned red; the pose was excessively passive and excessively intimate.
He looked down at her, his gaze deep.
"What exactly are you trying to say? Didn't you say you didn't care?" "What she says, or what she thinks, I don't mind, I mind about you." The temperature inside was too high, skin against skin, flesh to flesh, Tang Wan felt her breathing grow extremely difficult.
"Me?" Tang Wan frowned, slightly twisting her wrist.
"What's your opinion on my body?" Tang Wan's head burst, couldn't he speak more clearly? What kind of opinion on the body, can't he just say opinion on health? The way this was phrased sounded way too voracious.

"You also think I'm not up to par?" Jiang Jinsang had already released the hand shackling Kek wrist, Kekwrist, but the other hand remained on her waist, and his body still pressed against her without any intention of moving. Tang Wan bit her lip, turned her face away; how should she answer this? His opinion... on his body? "Why aren't you speaking?" He lowered his head closer, his breath enveloping her face.
"You also think my body is bad?" "I didn't..." "Is that so?" Jiang Jinsang chuckled lowly, seeing her lack of confidence in her words, "Actually, trying it out will let us know..." Trying it out? Tang Wan's pupils shook slightly, as she saw Jiang Jinsang leaning closer, and then he lowered his head to kiss her.
She later didn't know how she returned to her room, simply took a shower, and while preparing quick shower, skincare in front of the mirror, she noticed her lips were somewhat swollen. Her head had been foggy just before, not knowing what had happened.
Lying in bed, the images continuously swirling in her mind.
Her heart felt as if someone had viciously twisted it, numbing from the tip of her heart to her toes, making even breathing difficult.
That night, Tang Wan had a very strange dream, where in order to prove himself, Jiang Jinsang tried physically...
A ridiculous dream.
When the alarm woke her, she even broke out in a cold sweat.
She really was crazy, how could she have such a dream.
Getting up and going downstairs, she bumped into Jiang Jinsang at the staircase entrance, greeted him, and then ran away in a panic.
**
Today she had to handle the hospitalization process for Elder Tang, who was extremely to go to the hospital, but had no choice, his face downcast all morning, barely eating breakfast. With hospitalization and surgery ahead, it would be a long process. Tang Wan had breakfast and then began packing his things.
"I'll help you," this was a moment where Jiang Jinsang definitely wanted to step in.
"No need, I'll do it myself!" Tang Wan's mind kept drifting back to that dream, avoiding him like the plague.
Jiang Jinsang touched his nose, sensing something off from the morning: What happened? Could it be that he had gone overboard last night?
