The young lady hired me to help her and the young master have an online romance.

Chapter 157 The Crown Prince is So Jealous He's Gone Mad!!!

Shang Shixu's heart suddenly clenched.

He tightened his fingertips and squeezed out two words through his teeth.

"Where is she?"

"She drank too much," Jiang Yubai said calmly. "I brought her back, and she's asleep now."

Shang Shixu stood on the lawn, with a lively celebration behind him.

The laughter of Pei Heyun and several classmates taking pictures came from over there.

The sunlight shone on this land, but Shang Shixu was alone, filled with a deep sense of loneliness.

Leng Si's brows and eyes were full of ferocity.

Without saying anything, he hung up the phone.

Clutching his phone, he turned and walked towards the parking lot.

Pei Heyun, holding a camera, chased after them with a smile, "Brother Xu! Come on over and take a group photo! The professor is over there—"

The joyful sounds abruptly ceased.

Pei Heyun's tone instantly turned serious.

"What's wrong?"

The pace of business has not stopped.

"Something came up, I need to go back to China first."

Pei Heyun wanted to ask what was wrong, but judging from Shang Shixu's expression, he knew it was no small matter.

The only people who could influence him to this extent, besides his family, are Jiang Wan.

If it's a family member in trouble, his answer will definitely include the family member.

But he didn't say, so it's very likely the latter.

Pei Heyun didn't follow him, watching him leave with a worried look in his eyes.

Shang Shixu walked all the way to the parking lot.

The driver, who was waiting in the car, was somewhat surprised that his boss had finished so quickly.

He quickly got out of the car and opened the door.

"Back to the apartment."

After finishing his explanation, Shang Shixu bent down and climbed into the back seat.

He ripped off his master's robe and threw it onto the chair, then dialed his assistant's number.

"Charter a plane, I want to book the fastest flight back to China."

"Okay, Boss, I'll arrange it right away!"

Shang Shixu hung up the phone and leaned back in his chair.

The scenery outside the window played like a slideshow, frame by frame.

He closed his eyes, and all sorts of images flashed through his mind.

Jiang Yubai supported her, carried her on his back, and even hugged her...

They were intimate, and she blushed, unconscious.

Her every move was taken care of by another man.

Shang Shixu's breathing faltered, and he clenched his fists tightly.

*

North City, hotel room.

When the sun was high in the sky, Jiang Wan turned over and suddenly woke up.

My head felt like it was filled with lead, and my temples were throbbing with pain.

She slowly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling for several seconds.

Memories from last night came flooding back like fragments.

A dinner party, karaoke, accidentally drinking strong liquor, and then encountering Jiang Yubai at the hotel elevator entrance.

The other party brought her back.

Jiang Wan propped herself up on her elbows and sat up, still wearing yesterday's clothes.

Her feet dangled off the edge of the bed, her sandals neatly laid out.

She looked around; her backpack was neatly placed on the table.

Jiang Wan put on her shoes, walked to the table, and took out her phone from her bag.

It is 11:00 AM.

I swiped the screen and saw several messages from my parents on WeChat.

In Shang Shixu's chat box, the last message was from yesterday evening.

It wasn't posted this morning.

Thinking that he might have gone to a private gathering with his classmates after the celebration, Jiang Wan didn't pay much attention.

After replying to her parents' messages, she opened Jiang Yubai's chat window and typed a thank you.

[Teacher Jiang, thank you for bringing me home last night. I'm sorry to have troubled you.]

After sending the message, Jiang Wan took her phone and went into the bathroom.

I had just brushed my teeth when a reply popped up on the screen.

Jiang Yubai: [You're welcome. Shang Shixu called last night, and I explained the situation to you after I connected with him.]

Jiang Yubai: [But he didn't say anything and just hung up the phone.]

Jiang Wan paused while brushing her teeth.

She quickly switched apps and opened the call log.

Last night around 9 p.m., I had a phone call with Shang Shixu that lasted less than ten seconds.

Although Jiang Wan was somewhat annoyed by Jiang Yubai's act of answering the phone without permission.

However, he and Shang Shixu are relatives, and his intention in answering the phone was to help her explain the situation.

Moreover, the other party even brought her back.

No matter what, I should thank him.

But it would have been better not to answer the call.

Shang Shixu is a jealous person; even after understanding the whole story, he will still get angry.

Although she gets angry easily, she is also easy to coax.

Jiang Wan decided to call and coax him after she finished washing up.

Jiang Wan switched back to Jiang Yubai's chat window and typed a line:

Okay, I understand. I'll explain it to him.

Jiang Wan put down her phone and focused on washing up.

The sound of rushing water filled the air, and there was a knock at the door.

Jiang Wan wiped her hands and walked quickly to the door, assuming it was her colleague Zhang Wei calling her to dinner.

She opened the door, only to see someone she never expected.

Shang Shixu stood at the door.

A black shirt, collar slightly open, sleeves casually rolled up.

His gaze was cold and deep, with a faint bluish tint beneath his eyes.

Jiang Wan was stunned.

"What brings you here?"

Before he could finish speaking, the man pushed open the door and walked in.

He didn't look at her, nor did he pay any attention to her.

Jiang Wan blinked, sensing something unusual.

I'm afraid this time... it won't be easy to appease them.

She slowly closed the door.

The man sat down in the chair, his gaze sweeping from her face to her feet.

This was the first time Jiang Wan had been stared at like that by him.

There's an inexplicable sense of unease.

Just as she was considering how to explain, the person on the other end suddenly spoke.

"Did you drink too much last night?"

His cold voice carried a hint of mockery.

Jiang Wan knew she was in the wrong, so she didn't pay it any mind.

She then explained.

"I only drank two glasses of fruit wine, but I didn't know it would have such a strong aftereffect."

"Brother, I won't drink indiscriminately anymore."

Shang Shixu's tense lips twitched slightly.

The tip of his tongue touched his mouth.

The anger that has raged for twelve hours, now steeped in jealousy, is not so easily extinguished.

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

"With so many colleagues, why let him deliver it?"

Jiang Wanxing's eyes widened suddenly, and she quickly explained.

"No! I didn't ask anyone to take me!"

"I felt like I could walk back, but I didn't expect to feel a little disoriented when I got to the hotel lobby."

"My legs suddenly went weak, and my cousin helped me up."

"He also left early, and happened to run into me, so he took me back to my room."

Shang Shixu frowned, his words unconsciously carrying a sharp edge.

Do you feel you can go back?

"Why don't you usually act like this?"

Jiang Wan: ......

Jiang Wan felt a tightness in her chest.

You can't reason with a jealous man.

She took a deep breath and exhaled, calming herself down.

"Brother, I understand how you feel, but I'm just stating the facts."

"The facts?" Shang Shixu sneered. "That's just the facts from your perspective."

"You were so drunk you were completely unconscious, and there you were, a man and a woman alone in a room. What he wanted to do to you was easy enough, wasn't it?"

He emphasized the last five words.

Jiang Wan paused, her brows furrowing.

"He's your cousin, do you really have to think of him in such a despicable way?"

"Are you taking his side?"

Shang Shixu narrowed his phoenix eyes.

The flowing air seemed frozen.

The atmosphere was extremely cold and hard.

Jiang Wan clenched her palms, trying to be as gentle as possible.

"I'm not taking his side."

"Aside from him taking the phone call without permission, I haven't found him to have done anything else wrong so far."

"This is just an objective evaluation."

Jiang Wan tried to bring him back to his senses.

However, Shang Shixu heard these words as her continuing to defend another man.

As soon as Jiang Wan finished speaking, the pressure on Shang Shixu dropped sharply!

The raging fire was tinged with a bone-chilling bitterness.

Without saying a word, he got up and walked towards her.

With each step, the sense of pressure intensifies.

A long-lost sense of fear welled up from the bottom of her heart, and Jiang Wan subconsciously stepped back, leaning against the bathroom wall behind her.

Shang Shixu stood in front of her.

He placed his palms on either side of her head and leaned down to lock his gaze on her.

"You think I'm not being objective?"

"How can I be objective when you're alone together as a man and a woman?"

"Um?"

"say."

Jiang Wan bit her lower lip, her fingertips almost tearing the hem of her clothes.

The suppressed emotions are about to reach a breaking point.

"Knock knock".

A knock on the door broke the tense atmosphere.

Then Jiang Yubai's voice rang out.

"Jiang Wan, are you there?"

The atmosphere, which had eased for a second, froze instantly.

Shang Shixu's lips curled slightly.

Beneath his cold, sharp eyes, a chilling and terrifying smile played on his lips.

He straightened up and went to open the door.

Jiang Wan was startled!

It's almost predictable what will happen when a man in a fit of anger opens the door.

She reacted quickly and rushed over to hug him!

"elder brother!"

"Don't act impulsively!"

Shang Shixu stopped in his tracks, looked down at the person in his arms, and his heart softened slightly.

He picked her up, draped her legs over his waist, and placed her against the door panel.

He kissed her soft lips fiercely!
