Chapter 192: 148 Goodnight kiss before sleep, Tang Family was robbed The original dispute at the Hospital, which turned into condemnation of whether hospitals created VIP channels for the rich, was initially not a concern for the Tang Family, thinking that the first report did not stir up much of a fuss. However, two days later, the direction of the online wind suddenly became eerie. [Why are wealthy people frequently provided with VIP channels, and how are the rights of ordinary people protected?] [The Hospital has degenerated to this extent, chilling to the heart.] [Why do hospital-patient disputes persist? The reason lies here.] ... All kinds of reports sprung up overnight, even attributing previous hospital-patient conflicts to special treatment for the wealthy, with cries of condemnation growing more intense. Some patients learned of Old Tang’s room number from somewhere and even passed by the door on purpose, pointing and whispering. And the relatives who caused trouble before tried several times to come to provoke, making the hospital afraid, with no other option but to arrange for Old Tang to change rooms. Changing rooms happened on the first day after similar reports came out; it was arranged right away, but it took a few days before a bed became available due to the hospital being really full. The hospital was also scared that if a conflict arose and someone got injured, they could not bear the responsibility, so they had to trouble the Tang Family to change rooms. Old Tang understood their concerns and naturally nodded in agreement. ** The night that they helped the old master move to the new room, it was Tang Yunxian’s turn to stay overnight, and Tang Wan went home. She had just finished showering, was about to blow-dry her hair after unwrapping the quick-drying towel from her head when her phone began vibrating incessantly. She glanced at the caller ID, which read Ruan Mengxi. Her hands were drying her hair as she pressed answer and casually activated the speakerphone. “Hello, Xixi—” “What are you doing? You aren’t answering your phone.” “I was just showering.” “Tang Xiaowan, your family has been exposed!” “What did you say?” Tang Wan was taken aback and did not react immediately. “You know how that hospital scandal has been blowing up online, right? About someone getting preferential treatment, and now someone exposed your family. They say it’s hard for many people to get admitted to the hospital, yet they could easily arrange for you to change rooms. The internet is exploding now.” Tang Wan paused her hair-drying fingers, “Who dug this up?” “Some netizen, if you open his homepage now, it’s already been canceled. They didn’t name names, just mentioned someone from Pingjiang with a son who just got divorced. With a little digging, everyone knows it’s your family.” “I got it.” “Be careful on your own, especially these days; reporters in Beijing are pretty crazy...” Out of the corner of her eye, Tang Wan saw the cabinet door move slightly, and Jiang Jinsang appeared. Ruan Mengxi was still unaware that Jiang Jinsang had arrived, continuing to urge her to be cautious. Jiang Jinsang then came up behind Tang Wan, reached for her towel, and began to help her dry the tips of her wet hair. Clumsy, with no experience. “Tang Xiaowan, lately, while going out, if Lord Wansui is not busy, have him accompany you. Try not to go out alone...” Before Tang Wan could speak, Jiang Jinsang said, “I know, and I’ll accompany her.” Ruan Mengxi was happily chatting away when she suddenly heard Jiang Jinsang’s voice, pausing in surprise, “Lord...Lord Wansui?” “I’m here.” “Well...” Ruan Mengxi coughed, “I was just worried about Wanwan, giving her a call to remind her.” “Thank you, I will take good care of her.” “Then that’s fine, you guys are busy, I’ll hang up.” Tang Wan frowned, busy with what? Meanwhile, Jiang Jinsang draped the towel over her shoulders, “I’m going to get the hairdryer.” Tang Wan nodded. Her phone vibrated with a message from Ruan Mengxi: [Tang Xiaowan, drive carefully and always buckle up.] Tang Wan couldn’t help laughing and crying, [What are we doing?] With her phone in hand, Ruan Mengxi couldn’t help but be amazed, feeling Wanwan was being so inconsiderate. She had just said she finished showering, and there was no sign of her opening a door or anything. The only possibility was that Jiang Jinsang was already in her room. A man and a woman alone together, late at night, right after a shower—what else could it mean? Did she take her for a fool? Jiang Jinsang returned with the hairdryer. Tang Wan wanted to dry her own hair, but he refused her, and as the hairdryer started up, his fingers went through her hair, warming her scalp and back. It made her feel uncomfortably warm. He was inexperienced, but his touches were gentle and didn’t cause her any pain. At that moment, Tang Wan’s phone vibrated again with another message from Ruan Mengxi. [How is his health really? Can he handle it?] Tang Wan glanced at her phone and quickly tucked it away. After all, Jiang Jinsang stood right behind her, towering over her in a way that made it hard to ensure he wouldn’t see something he shouldn’t. Speaking of bodies, her mind naturally drifted to that absurd dream... The skin of her entire neck and the sides of her ears reddened visibly, and at a pace visible to the naked eye. His fingers were already warm, and as they passed through the damp strands of her hair, they gently tousled her locks, sending her heartbeat into complete disarray. Hot air blew from all directions, and her body felt as if it was baking. She didn’t know how much time had passed until the hair dryer stopped, and Jiang Jinsang raised his hand to tidy her hair. “I can take care of the rest,” Tang Wan said just as she reached out to comb through her hair, only to feel a gust of hot breath suddenly by her ear. Deep down, she knew... He had leaned in closer. “Wanwan—” Perhaps because he was leaning down, his voice was muffled and deeper than usual. He didn’t speak, just came very close. Her ears, already quite sensitive, could distinctly hear every breath he took. It was as if something was slowly pressing against her chest, making breathing feel exceptionally difficult. “What were you just thinking about?” “I wasn’t thinking about anything,” Tang Wan replied while combing her hair with her fingers. A few loose strands wrapped around her fingertips, and she twined the hairs together with both hands. After all, having had such a dream, her current state of mind was even more tangled than the hairs between her fingers. “But your face is very red.” “That’s because the hair dryer was too hot.” ... Jiang Jinsang, always observant, sensed something but wasn’t clear on what it was. “There should be some results regarding the hospital matter in the next few days.” He slightly withdrew, maintaining a small distance from Tang Wan. The breath on her ear now gone, Tang Wan felt as if she had suddenly come back to life. If he had continued, she would have lost half her life here just from anxiety and nervousness. “Do you mean there’s going to be some big action?” Tang Wan wasn’t naive; an outcome meant something was bound to happen before. “Is someone behind this stirring things up?” “More than one person.” Tang Wan pursed her lips, “Does someone hold a grudge over the past incident, and so they’re causing trouble behind the scenes?” The recent events were too strange, they had been living in the hospital for quite a while, and the disturbances there were not new. It was odd that it suddenly involved their family. Even though there had been reports, they sank like stones in the sea, with no reason to be dug up after a few days and made a fuss over. When public opinion caught fire and everyone was up in arms, that’s when the Tang Family was dragged out for public display... It all seemed like someone was orchestrating this from behind! Being new to Beijing, and with those she had conflicts with, she could easily guess who it might be. Jiang Jinsang stayed silent, and seeing him not speaking, Tang Wan didn’t know what he was doing and turned to look at him... Completely unexpectedly. He leaned down and pecked her on the lips. The curtains were half drawn, with moonlight spilling through the gaps and falling on both of them, as if even the cold moonlight became intertwined with tenderness in that instant. His fingers brushed through her hair, and although it was already dry, her scalp still felt cool. His fingertips were warm, and the touch made Tang Wan feel her whole body heat up with fever. The movement was very light, tickling. “Don’t think too much anymore, go to sleep early, goodnight.” He lowered his head to her forehead and pressed a hot kiss that made her involuntarily shrink her neck back. Was this... a goodnight kiss before bed? By the time Tang Wan regained her senses, Jiang Jinsang had already left her bedroom. She rolled the few stray hairs twined around her fingertips into a ball and threw it into the trash can. She turned to look at the turtle tank and Lord Wansui inside, teasing him with some object. Lord Wansui, however, retreated into his shell, not wanting to bother with her at all. But Tang Wan’s mind was a mess, and she absentmindedly fussed over his shell. She then took some dried shrimp to feed him. Turtles don’t eat much to begin with, and Lord Wansui wanted to stretch out his head to nibble a bit, but Tang Wan deliberately teased him, refusing to let him eat, so he simply gave up. “You and your turtle species, with your small size but big temper, what kind are you? Are you the same as those edible ones in the restaurants?” Lord Wansui: As a turtle that needs to hibernate, my life is truly difficult. ** Although Jiang Jinsang had given Tang Wan a heads-up last night, saying that things would come to a head, meaning trouble might arise. But she didn’t expect that the next day, something would indeed happen at the hospital.
