Chapter 168: 135 Fifth Master’s Pacification, Jiangjiang’s Harsh Words (3 more)_2 “Just like when you were in Pingjiang, you can do whatever you want.” “Anyway, if anything happens, don’t let yourself suffer, and if all else fails...” “I’m still behind you.” Tang Wan’s fingers tightened slightly, understanding his meaning, and felt even more as if a warm current had washed over her heart, instantly dispelling the grievances and discomfort she had just felt. “Are you satisfied with this dress? If it’s uncomfortable, we can try others.” “Aren’t you going to try on clothes?” “Men’s clothes only have so many styles, not so much fuss. I’ve already asked someone to take them to the hotel. I’ll change there.” ... Choosing clothes, along with hair and makeup, took quite some time, and Tang Wan felt somewhat embarrassed by the fuss. Beijing Lijing Grand Hotel Although it was a charity auction, there were also plenty of wine and dance floors—it was said to be about charity, but it also served as an opportunity to meet many people. But there were no red carpets and other stunts, as those who didn’t want to be disturbed or engage in social interactions would choose to enter through the back door and go directly to the private rooms to await the start of the auction. Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan got out of their car and entered through the back door, led by attendants directly to the lounge. Qi Zeyan, Jiang Yanting, and Jiangjiang were all there. The two were attending in the name of their company, doing charity was also part of the company’s image. “Second aunt, you look so beautiful today, just like a little fairy,” Jiangjiang always had a strong will to survive; as long as someone was beautiful, flattery was the way to go. “Your little mouth is so sweet.” Tang Wan reached out and pinched his little face. Qi Zeyan was still dressed in a crisp three-piece suit, his neatly parted, slightly slick hair, and even his shoes were polished to a mirror shine, but seeing Tang Wan made him feel somewhat indignant. He was asked to keep an eye on his wife, and here he was, leading her back to his own home. Didn’t you say you were going to cancel the marriage? “I’m going to change clothes, have a seat first,” Jiang Jinsang whispered in her ear before turning and walking towards another compartment. Qi Zeyan, munching on raisins, couldn’t help but snort coldly! Normally he pretends to be dead when asked to go out to play, but now he’s showing off his love as soon as he sets foot outside. He’s still not over the heartbreak, damn it, that’s too much! Maintaining an instructive image in front of Tang Wan, he could only silently mutter in his heart to vent: Show-offs in love die fast, half-dead get kicked! I’ll let you show off today, say goodbye tomorrow. Tang Wan was already playing with Jiangjiang, and Jiang Yanting sat next to Qi Zeyan, whispering, “What’s up, still feeling sour?” “What’s there to be sour about, showing off in love, what skill is that? Let them get married if they are capable.” Meanwhile, Jiang Jinsang had emerged from the compartment, dressed in a simple black and white suit that accentuated his height and demeanor. As he walked towards her, adjusting his cufflinks. Tang Wan felt like she heard the sound of heavy snow falling from branches, swift and sudden. “Click—” her heart trembled, the world turned a vast white, with only his figure becoming clearer. Qi Zeyan glanced at him, unable to resist muttering: “Cultured scum.” Jiang Yanting, however, sized up Qi Zeyan, who was today wearing a dark striped suit, his jacket pocket adorned with a scarf, possibly to match the suit, and even wearing a gold watch. “What are you looking at me for? Think I have great taste, good at matching?” “Refinement with a hint of flamboyance.” “I just...” Qi Zeyan was about to erupt but, considering Tang Wan and Jiangjiang were present, suppressed his anger. Jiang Jinsang had now approached Tang Wan, “How is it, looking good?” “Pretty good.” Jiang Jinsang rarely wore formal clothes, some were rather loose, giving him a frail look, but he filled out the white shirt surprisingly well. The bright moon was clear; the heavy snow was deep, fitting in both size and style. She raised her hand to slightly adjust his collar, frustrating Qi Zeyan to no end as he stood by, staring. Can you not show off love in front of me, have you no shame! Jiangjiang, holding a dessert, approached Jiang Yanting, “Daddy, this is really good, try it.” “Um,” Jiang Yanting just symbolically took a bite. “Uncle Qi, aren’t you eating?” “I don’t want to.” “Why are you staring at my second aunt all the time? Are you thinking about women?” After these words were said, the entire private room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Thinking about women? Coming from the mouth of a child! What kind of obscene talk is this! “Uncle Qi, it’s okay. Grandma says every boy grows up and gets married. You’ll have your own wife one day too!” Jiangjiang stuffed the dessert into his hand, “When you’re upset, eating something sweet can make you feel better.” Qi Zeyan was completely taken aback and looked at Jiang Yanting, “How do you educate your son? What is he talking about?!” Tang Wan bowed her head, unable to suppress a chuckle. She had always thought of Qi Zeyan as a serious businessman, especially given his meticulous dressing. Now, it seemed, he was just an ordinary man. “I appreciate it,” Qi Zeyan said through clenched teeth. “Is ‘thank you’ all?” Jiangjiang smiled at him, revealing a cute fang. “What else?” “It’s almost New Year’s, after all.” Qi Zeyan forced a smile. Surely not everyone in the Jiang family was this money-minded. Whose traits had this kid inherited? “Dad, I need to go to the restroom.” Jiangjiang had just drunk a lot of juice. Jiang Yanting didn’t say anything. It wasn’t like being at home, and with many people around tonight, he couldn’t let Jiangjiang run around alone. He stood up, took his hand, and walked outside... After the three left the lounge, Qi Zeyan felt even more uncomfortable and immediately stood up, “I’m going with you.” He didn’t want to be left behind eating the dust of their affection. As the three were leaving, Jiangjiang glanced at Qi Zeyan, “Uncle Qi, do you really need to use the restroom?” “Yes.” “Then why didn’t you say so earlier and had to come with us? In kindergarten, only little girls hold hands when they go to the bathroom together.” Qi Zeyan: “...” To prove he really needed the restroom, Qi Zeyan followed Jiangjiang inside, while Jiang Yanting waited outside. “Do you need help?” Qi Zeyan noticed Jiangjiang struggling with his trousers. “No need, I can do it myself.” Going to the restroom was still quite simple. But standing there close together, Qi Zeyan suddenly realized, this boy wasn’t minding his business but staring at him, his expression somewhat complicated. “What are you looking at?” “Oh... Um...” Jiangjiang pursed his lips, “Nothing.” Qi Zeyan: “...” If this weren’t his dear nephew, whom he had watched grow up, and who wasn’t so young, he’d seriously consider trapping him in the restroom and giving him a good beating. * From his standing position, Jiang Yanting could overlook the first floor, teeming with people in gorgeous outfits, all busy clinking glasses. He merely glanced around casually. From the corner of his eye, he checked his watch. These two had been in the restroom for quite a while. Just as he was about to go in and check the situation, from the corner of his eye, he briefly spotted a familiar figure. His breath hitched suddenly, but when he focused again, the crowd had moved on, and the moment had been swallowed up by the throng. ... Qi Zeyan had helped Jiangjiang wash his hands and dry them before pulling him out of the restroom. “Jiang Yanting, your son is such a handful. He even complained that the soap in this hotel isn’t fragrant enough. A big man fussing over perfume-like scents...” When the two came out, the corridor was already deserted. “Darn, did he run off?” Qi Zeyan was furious. “Uncle Qi, don’t worry, I can find the way back,” Jiangjiang reassured him, patting his hand. Qi Zeyan couldn’t help but ruefully smile. It wasn’t that he was worried about finding their way back; he was infuriated that the Jiang brothers were bullying him too much. One seduces him with affection, and the other simply dumps his son on him!
