Chapter 136: 120 Jiang Family Lord Wansui, Another Cunning Move (3 more chapters) Chapter 136: 120 Jiang Family Lord Wansui, Another Cunning Move (3 more chapters) Jiang Family's third floor was styled in extrminimalism, with handrails along the hallway to complement the pure white walls, which were adorned with several colorful abstract paintings, adding a splash of brightness to the otherwise monotonous corridor.

"I'm sleeping here, and you can stay in the room next to mine," Jinsang led Tang Wan to the bedroom, which boasted a warm yellow tone and furniture primarily in aqua grey, giving off a very sophisticated vibe.

The bedroom wasn't particularly large, yet it was fully equipped with a mini-fridge and a garment steamer. Tang Wan noticed a pair of pink ladies' slippers by the bed and appreciated his thoughtfulness. "Have a look around and see if anything's missing; I'll have it taken care of this afternoon." Jinsang stepped aside to let her enter first, the gentleman that he was.

Tang Wan took a few steps inside, "It's quite nice, everything seems complete already, thank you." "If you need anything, you can cdirectly to me." Jinsang pressed something, and suddenly, the wardrobe on one side slid open, revealing a door that led to... A large bed! With the Jiang Family's group photo and Jinsang's personal photos on the bedside, it wasn't hard to guess... This was Jinsang's bedroom! The two rooms were interconnected? What the hell? "Stago, I was in poor health, and Doctor Zhongqing stayed in my house, staying in your room so that it was easier for him in case I needed help at night without having to knock on my door." "This guest room is the best one; I haven't really put the other rooms in order." Meaning, She had no choice but to sleep there! Tang Wan looked at his bedroom, which was styled exactly like hers, only sfurnishing and arrangement were slightly different, this was...

A couple's vibe.

"If you want to cover, just press this," Jinsang showed her the layout of the room, "The TV is hidden in the cabwhen not in use, with a switch to raise and lower it." Tang Wan listened intently.

After showing her around, Jinsang turned his head to look at her, "Would you like to go check out my room?" Go to his room... to see what? But Jinsang had already extended the invitation, and with just a wall between the two bedrooms, Tang Wan found it hard to refuse by saying she was too tired and not going, as the wall had an opening, stepping through was too easy to refuse.

She could only smile and nod.

Jinsang's bedroom was similar to hers, but one side had a huge black bookshelf, and the head of the bed had a stand that might be used for hanging IV drips, and on his desk, astonishingly, there was a glass aquarium.

Cyan Feather, a sun deck, and a waterfall-like filter inside—it was like a miniature underwater ecosystem. "This is an aquarium..." Tang Wan approached it and cocked her head, "Are the aquatic plants in there real?" "Yes," Jinsang naturally walked up beside her.

The aquarium wasn't very large, and with two people standing in front of it, they inevitably brushed against each other.

Tang Wan knew about these things but had never been up close; she observed intently without noticing how close...

He actually was.

"Why are there no fish in this aquarium?" "Right here," Jinsang pointed somewhere, and the tank surroundings were somewhat dark; he slightly raised his hand to turn on a waterproof light on one side, and Tang Wan could then clearly see the spot his finger was pointing at, it seemed like...

It was a turtle! "A turtle?" The treatment this turtle received... was way too good.

"A friend gave it, saying turtles live long and hoped that I could..." Jinsang paused, "hope I live a long life too." Certainly, someone did not use the turtle as a metaphor back then! Yet, there were no living things in his room, so he kept it.

She studied Cyan Feather, having ancient knowledge she surely knew that nowadays saying turtle' might sound pejorative, but in ancient times, turtles were a symbol of auspiciousness, even the 'Ritual Records' praised them as "divine beings." They were appropriate for gifting.

Tang Wan's face was almost pressed against the glass, she seemed ton want a closer look, "So this turtle's nwouldn't happen to be 'Jiang Longevity,' would it?" She smiled, turning her head to look at him.

But she had no idea how close their faces were as she turned her head, her nose grazed directly across his face...

Cold white skin, bloodless, burning with warmth.

Tang Wan felt her nose warm, causing her breath to catch in a layer of warmth, and she instinctively held her breath.

Jinsang just wanted to be a bit closer to her but hadn't expected her to suddenly turn her head.

Their eyes met...

It was as if a warm wind made the whole body hot.

Tang Wan inexplicably remembered that fever-induced kiss, which m seemed real and fake; her gaze real dropped, then she shifted half an inch to the side, "Sorry." "It's okay." However, Jinsang did not shift his gaze.

She looked at the turtle, and he just looked at her.
