Chapter 155 I've finally surprised you... surprised you...
Chapter 155 I've finally surprised you... surprised you...
Jiang Yubai felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
It felt like I had fallen into an ice cave; the chill started from the soles of my feet and quickly attacked my heart.
He never imagined that Jiang Wan's boyfriend would be his cousin.
Why him?
How could it be him!
Is God playing a joke on him?
Surprisingly, he fell in love with his cousin's girlfriend.
Jiang Yubai's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.
Upon hearing Shang Shixu call him "cousin," Jiang Wan's eyes widened suddenly.
It turns out that Bai Mu is the child of Shang Shixu's second uncle.
But why is his surname Jiang? Could it be that he took his mother's surname?
Jiang Wan's mind was in turmoil.
She tilted her head back, stood on tiptoe, and whispered in Shang Shixu's ear.
"Brother, he's my painter boss."
This time, it was Shang Shixu's turn to be surprised. He looked at Jiang Yubai.
"So my cousin is the painter Bai Mu?"
The person on the sofa nodded expressionlessly.
My girlfriend is actually my cousin's assistant.
Shang Shixu couldn't describe how he felt.
Although the two only had a working relationship, he still couldn't help but feel jealous.
He changed his arm around her shoulder to his waist, almost completely encircling Jiang Wan in his arms.
"Thank you, cousin, for saving Wanwan before."
"I'll treat you to dinner sometime."
Jiang Yubai looked at their figures, which were almost overlapping, and lowered his voice.
"...You're welcome."
Shang Shixu: "Wanwan and I have things to do, so we won't bother my cousin."
After saying that, he put his arm around Jiang Wan and left through the door.
"Bang."
The balcony door closed, and Jiang Yubai's eyes darkened.
He gazed at the bright moon in the night sky, trying to clear his thoughts.
His chances of winning against Shang Shang's timing were slim.
But he couldn't just give up like that.
Jiang Yubai frowned, finding a balance between the two options.
Go with the flow.
This is the only solution he can think of right now.
Since we can't win the fight and can't let go, we can only let nature take its course.
Without revealing my feelings, I want to be just a friend to Jiang Wan.
If he is the right person for her, Jiang Wan and Shang Shixu's relationship won't last.
Things will develop in a direction that benefits him.
If he isn't the right person for her, then time will eventually diminish his feelings.
You'll naturally let it go when the time comes.
Going with the flow allows one to maintain their proper dignity.
Jiang Yubai's thinking was very rational and cautious, but he soon contradicted himself.

After stepping off the balcony, Shang Shixu led Jiang Wan back to his room.
After closing the door, Jiang Wan, eager to satisfy her curiosity, asked:
"Brother, why did your cousin tell me his surname is Jiang? Is it his mother's surname?"
Shang Shixu suppressed what he wanted to say and answered her question first.
"His surname was Shang from birth. The reason I told you his surname was Jiang is because he took his mother's surname."
Jiang Wan quickly followed up with, "What about your second aunt? Why haven't I seen her tonight?"
"She passed away a few years ago."
Jiang Wan was stunned.
The Shang time sequence will be explained further.
"My second uncle and aunt divorced when my cousin was very young."
"After the divorce, my second aunt took the child abroad and forcibly severed ties with the business."
"It wasn't until she passed away a few years ago that she finally agreed to let my cousin return to the business world."
...So that's how it is.
Jiang Wan nodded.
No wonder Bai Mu introduced himself by saying his surname was Jiang.
He probably doesn't approve of the business from the bottom of his heart.
After Shang Shixu finished answering, he stared into Jiang Wan's eyes and couldn't help but voice his own request.
"Baby, could you please quit your assistant job?"
Jiang Wan was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow. "You're jealous of your cousin?"
"My relationship with him is purely professional; we don't communicate at all in private."
"I know, but I just don't want you to be his assistant," Shang Shixu replied quickly.
Jiang Wan gave a speechless twitch at the corner of her mouth.
She didn't say anything, but walked around him and sat down on the sofa behind him.
Shang Shixu turned around and followed her, sitting down on the sofa opposite her, silently observing her expression.
Jiang Wan's expression remained blank.
She sat down and spoke softly.
"Have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Shang Shixu blinked. "I haven't forgotten."
"I've said I would restrain my possessiveness."
"As I've said before, I will give you the respect you can feel."
Jiang Wan nodded. "Since you remember everything, why make this request?"
"Or is it that I'm your cousin's assistant, and that makes you lose face?"
"No," Shang Shixu immediately denied. "It's not about saving face; it's my possessiveness that's getting the better of me."
Shang Shixu was jealous, but he also knew that Jiang Wan only had one month left to work.
Forcing her to resign will only cause her great resentment.
If this job is long-term, then he will do everything he can to sabotage it, no matter what.
But it isn't.
He could endure it for a month if he gritted his teeth.
Shang Shixu continued to convince himself.
Jiang Wan only saw her cousin as a boss, and didn't care about his looks.
In addition, my cousin used to treat Jiang Wan with a purely businesslike attitude.
So, once he knows she's his girlfriend, he'll definitely be more careful about his behavior.
After convincing himself, Shang Shixu spoke again.
"I was just saying I'd resign; I didn't mean to force you."
"There's only one month left anyway, I'll adjust my mindset."
Hearing him say that, Jiang Wan's suppressed emotions suddenly disappeared.
Fortunately, the argument last time wasn't in vain.
This time, I knew to save face.
better.
Jiang Wan curled the corners of her lips, her gaze fixed on his cold and handsome face, and her heart began to flutter.
She got up, walked over, and sat directly on his lap.
With a look of surprise on the man's face, she leaned down, pressed her lips against his prominent Adam's apple, and began to suckle.
"Um…"
The man let out a muffled groan.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and placed his palm on the back of her head.
With his other hand, he put his arm around her slender waist.
He completely forgot about vinegar and all that.
All he knew was that his darling was rewarding himself at that moment.
Joy filled every cell in my body.
Deep pupils, burning with intense heat.
Shang Shixu nuzzled the top of Jiang Wan's head, his voice low and dreamy.
It carries a sense of patient guidance.
"Baby."
"Push harder..."
