Chapter 689: 432 Ambush Battle vs Couples’ Little Amusements
Tang Wan was planning where to take the Shen family elders to have fun before they left Beijing, searching for
information and devising a strategy, when Jiang Jinsang glanced over with a sideward peek.
"Grandpa and Grandma are both old, don’t schedule the itinerary so full. They'll actually be happy just having
you and your aunt with them. Where to go isn’t important."
"I know," Tang Wan answered softly. "Actually, they would be even happier if my aunt could bring that ‘ordinary
colleague’ to meet them."
"What colleague?"
"Could be my aunt's suitor, | guess."
"She likes him too?" Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow. Was it possible that in this generation, he would end up
taking on a lower rank?
"She definitely doesn’t mind. | know my aunt’s temperament well enough. If there was no feeling at all, she
wouldn't give him any hope, and she would make it very clear even if he were a colleague. With her sharp
tongue, if someone kept pestering her after being rejected, | bet she'd get physical," Tang Wan said nonchalantly.
"Last tshe stayed at our house, the two of them were sending messages late into the night, sharing their
feelings."
"When | asked if they were not colleagues, just ordinary friends, that excuse might be believed once or twice, but
use it too much and it starts to look lame. You get what | mean?"
Jiang Jinsang nodded with a smile, "If she got a boyfriend, it would actually be nice."
Although she was his aunt, she was young, and Tang Wan couldn't help worrying about her, frequently running to
Hexi. Later, when her belly gets bigger, she wouldn't be able to look after her all the time. Having a good man by
her side to take care of her would be nice.
"So my aunt is seeing someone, and you don’t object at all?" Tang Wan propped her chin in one hand, looking at
him with amused interest.

"You might end up with an uncle younger than yourself."
Jiang Jinsang bent down and kissed the corner of her mouth twice, "Having an uncle younger thandoes seem
strange, but her husband, my uncle, there's no other relationship besides this. Everyone lives their own life, and
we won't meet every day. Having one more person to take care of her is good."
"That's true..."
Tang Wan wrapped an arm around his neck, almost hanging on him, and her voice grew more coquettish, "Fifth
Brother, I've noticed that you're really open-minded and considerate..."
"Are you hungry?"
Tang Wan rarely acted spoiled, so her sudden change in behavior definitely had an ulterior motive. Watching him
get up to go downstairs to find her something to eat, Tang Wan giggled and continued to search for resources
and plan strategies.
Thinking back to when her eldest brother got married and Xie Duo called him 'uncle,” she then thought of Jiang
Jinsang.
Indeed, it was her Fifth Brother who was the most open-minded. If it were that Master Xie encountering an uncle
younger than himself, he’d probably be depressed, not knowing life can be so unpredictable...
Would Jiang Jinsang ever be depressed about it? Who could predict that?
ok
On Shen Shuci’s end, after returning the necklace to Liang Wenzhong and clarifying things with him, she felt
much more relaxed. She had been busy with work, and finally, she had sfree tto check WeChat and
open the strategy Tang Wan had sent her.
The two of them would sometimes call each other to talk and communicate.
Just then, Huo Qingi’s call came. She bit her lip and hesitated for a few seconds before answering, and for some
reason, her heart started pounding before she even heard him speak.
"When will you be htomorrow?"
"Do you need something?"
"The cat's owner remindedjust now, it’s tto take Chichi for deworming."
"Deworming?" Unfamiliar with the matter as someone who had never owned a cat or dog, Shen Shuci asked,
"How is it done? Should we go to a pet hospital?"
"I'll cby your place to pick it up tomorrow."
"I'll be busy going out with my parents in the morning, and might only be back hby evening."
"Then I'll cto see you in the evening. You should rest early." As soon as he finished speaking, she heard the
sound of the phone hanging up on the other end.
"Hey, wait, you..." He didn’t give her any chance to refuse.
Shen Shuci looked it up online specifically and found that cats usually start their first deworming at 6 weeks, and
then about every 3 months. Since Chichi was already over 50 days old, it was indeed tfor deworming.
But did the deworming really require his personal visit?
This led to Shen Shuci constantly checking the tthe next day while accompanying the elders out and about,
as they had limited energy and got tired halfway through the day’s itinerary.
"Do you have an appointment with someone?" After sending the elders back to their hotel, Jiang Jinsang and
Tang Wan drove her back to Hexi.
"No, not at all," Shen Shuci laughed awkwardly.
She was afraid that a Huo family car might be parked downstairs at her place. Jiang Jinsang would certainly
recognize it, and it would be too embarrassing to run into him then. All the lies she told before would be
exposed.
Anxious all the way, she even considered sending a message to Huo Qingi to ask where he was?
If he were already downstairs at her place, it'd be better to hide quickly!
"I noticed you've been checking your phone, | thought you were waiting for a message or a call." Tang Wan, who
was pregnant, tended to feel sleepy and leaned against the car window, yawning incessantly.
"You seem especially tired?" Shen Shuci observed her.
"I'm a bit tired like I didn’t get enough sleep."
"Just dropoff at the entrance of the residential area. It's a waste of tfor the car to drive in and then come
back out. The walk from there isn’t long—I can go back by myself."
"I'll take you to the bottom of the building," said Jinsang directly.
"Really, it's not necessary. I'm just at the entrance anyway. I'll look around nearby and buy sstuff to take
home."
"I'll wait for you in the car while you shop," Jinsang had promised Shen Family's elders to safely escort her to the
building, so naturally, he intended to fulfill his duties thoroughly.
"Wanwan looks quite tired. You two should go back and rest early," said Shuci, anxious as if on hot coals. If they
bumped into Qingi at the foot of her building, what would she say to explain it?
Tang Wan smiled and said, "We've already driven you to Hexi. A few more minutes won't matter."
Shuci clenched her teeth and said, "Fine, let’s go in."
As she said this, she sent a message to Qingi: [Where are you?]
While texting, she also kept an eye on Tang Wan and Jinsang’s movements. They seemed to be discussing what
to eat later that evening—it was all just Tang Wan’s cravings for something sour, and they planned to take a
detour to buy ssnacks.
[Just got to your building,] Qingi replied quickly to her message.
[Wanwan and Lord Wu are almost here. You better hide.]
[Why hide?]
Aren't we acquainted?
[Hurry up!]
Shuci had no tto explain so much to him.
Qingi looked at his phone, his eyes deepening. Was he asked to hide because Jinsang and Tang Wan were
coming?
Was he really that unwelcome?
ess!
