Chapter 151 A Surprise from Jiang Wan
Chapter 151 A Surprise from Jiang Wan
More exciting?
Jiang Wan clenched her toes...
Things are already close enough to escalate to the point of near-disruption.
Any further stimulation would cross the line.
Jiang Wan regained her senses and nudged his chest.
"I'll do it later, I want to sleep now."
The man, whose body was crackling and burning, was doused with a bucket of cold water.
Business sequence: ......
Even dogs have to choose their time.
Is there a dog more depressed than him?
He suppressed the urge within him and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Good night."
Goodnight, brother.
......
The next day.
Jiang Wan turned over and suddenly woke up.
She opened her eyes and saw Shang Shixu standing by the window looking at his phone.
The morning light outlined a golden silhouette on him.
"Awake?" He turned his head.
"Breakfast downstairs is ready."
Jiang Wan sat up and glanced at the time on her phone; it wasn't even seven o'clock yet.
"You eat so early?"
Shang Shixu explained, "The old man gets up at six o'clock to practice Tai Chi."
You're really vigorous for your age!
After a moment of reflection, Jiang Wan sat down to clear her head.
Shang Shixu came to the bedside and reached out to tidy up her messy hair.
"The style is quite trendy."
That's really sharp-tongued.
Jiang Wan broke free from his grasp, quickly slipped off the bed, and rushed into the bathroom to wash up.
A dozen minutes later, she appeared at the restaurant looking radiant.
The old man had already eaten; only Qiao Lan and Shang Mochen remained in the restaurant.
After exchanging greetings, we sat down and started eating.
Breakfast was plentiful and tasted great.
After dinner, Jiang Wan asked to leave.
Shang Shixu had to go to a company meeting, so she called a driver to take her home.
As Jiang Wan was about to get into the car, Shang Shixu stuffed a bag containing the gift from yesterday into her hand.
Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she handed it back to him.
"You can have it first!"
If she accepts such an expensive gift from the other party, she will face enormous psychological pressure in the future relationship.
Besides, her parents didn't know about this.
Yesterday's visit was a last resort.
She really couldn't handle receiving such lavish gifts again.
Seeing the man frown, Jiang Wan explained to him.
"I appreciate all the kindness of my elders, but I'd like to save this gift for later."
"When is 'later'?" he immediately asked.
Jiang Wan pondered for a moment.
"Let's wait until my parents approve."
Shang Shixu wanted to say that he could visit anytime, but he swallowed the words back.
He had promised her that he would slow down and cooperate.
As for when we can meet her parents, that depends on her wishes.
Pushing too hard can backfire.
He gave himself a silent warning.
He reached out and pinched her cheek, then took the bag from her.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Jiang Wan smiled and hugged his waist.
Goodbye, brother.
"goodbye."
Jiang left by car that evening and started working after returning to her small apartment.
A biographical work of over 500,000 words is still waiting for her.
Jiang Wan promised to submit the manuscript within three months.
For the next few days, the sound of keyboard typing could be heard coming from the room.
Shang Shixu came to see her, and the two spent a short time together before going about their own business.
He has just returned to China and has a lot to take over.
During this time, Jiang Wan accompanied Bai Mu to the hospital for a follow-up examination.
The doctor said the recovery is going very well and the cast can be removed in two weeks.
Everything is going in a good direction.
My days are very fulfilling.
Jiang Wan is very satisfied with her current situation.
Today is October 28rd.
There are still two days until the old man's birthday banquet.
Jiang Wan had just gotten up when she received a call from "Escape from the Human World Studio".
"Assistant Jiang, there is an investment contract that you need to send to Teacher Bai Mu for signature today."
"Sign it and then return it to the studio."
"Okay, I'll be there this morning."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wan washed up and went out, taking a ride-sharing service directly to the city center.
I got the contract before the studio closed for lunch.
I glanced at the time; it's 11:30 now.
Jiang Wan stood at the studio entrance and sent a message to Bai Mu.
[Teacher Jiang, I need to deliver a contract later. Are you home?]
Seven or eight seconds after sending the message, the man replied: "Yes."
Okay, see you later.
Jiang Wan took a taxi straight to the other party's residence.
Meanwhile, a "guest" was sitting inside the villa.
Jiang Yubai put down his phone and looked at the person on the sofa.
"Dad, is there anything else?"
"If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and get busy."
Shang Chengyi's lips twitched. He had only said a few words before they were trying to send him away.
"No rush, let's have lunch together."
"I've already sent the driver to buy it."
A sense of unease welled up in Jiang Yubai's heart.
But he was used to hiding his emotions, so he said nothing and turned to go upstairs.
downstairs.
Shang Chengyi sat on the sofa, playing on his phone while waiting for the driver to bring him food.
After some time, the doorbell rang.
The food is here.
Shang Chengyi called upstairs, "Yu Bai, come downstairs for dinner!"
After shouting, go open the door.
The moment I opened the door, I froze on the spot.
There was a young girl in front of me.
"Young lady, who are you looking for?"
Jiang Wan, standing outside the door, was a little confused.
Why is it a middle-aged man who opened the door?
They must be Bai Mu's guests.
She snapped out of her daze and responded politely.
"Hello, I'm Ms. Jiang's assistant. Is Ms. Jiang home?"
It turned out to be his assistant. Shang Chengyi turned to the side.
"He's here, please come in."
Jiang Wan entered the room and easily changed into slippers.
Bai Mu's figure was coming down the stairs.
Jiang Wan went up to her and handed her the folder.
"Teacher, this is the contract."
"The studio said they'd let you take a look, and if there are no problems, please sign it."
Jiang Yubai took the contract and sat down in the chair.
Jiang Wan stood beside him, not intending to sit down, when the man suddenly looked up at her.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"Not yet, we'll eat after we send the contract back."
Jiang Yubai wanted to stay for dinner before delivering the food, but then suddenly realized that his father was also there.
After a moment's thought, he chose to remain silent.
Even if she did, Jiang Wan might not stay for dinner.
What's more, there's another person in this room.
Jiang Yubai put his mind at ease and began to review the contract.
Jiang Wan stood silently to the side, waiting for him to finish reading and sign.
Sitting opposite him, Shang Chengyi sensed something was amiss.
My son actually took the initiative to care about others?
Moreover, the tone and manner in which he spoke to this young girl were rather gentle.
An idea popped into Shang Chengyi's head, but he wasn't sure, so he decided to observe further.
A few minutes later, Jiang Yubai finished reading the contract.
Finding no problems, he picked up a pen and signed it.
Jiang Wan accepted the contract.
"Teacher Jiang, I'll be going now. Please contact me if you need anything."
"it is good."
Jiang Wan walked towards the entrance to change her shoes, and Jiang Yubai subconsciously followed her gaze.
Shang Chengyi took in his every move.
His intuition was right.
The son has definitely taken a liking to her.
The sound of the door closing came from the entrance hall, and Shang Chengyi went straight to the point.
"Yu Bai, do you like that girl from earlier?"
Jiang Yubai's body stiffened.
"no."
Shang Chengyi said in a deep voice, "You can't hide anything from your father."
"If you like someone, you like them. There's nothing to be ashamed of admitting it."
After he finished speaking, seeing that his son didn't object, Shang Chengyi continued to press, "Tell me, you like her, does she know that?"
Jiang Yubai shook his head stiffly.
Shang Chengyi raised an eyebrow.
It turns out I was secretly in love with him.
So many unrequited loves end without ever blossoming.
He needs to guide his son properly.
"Yu Bai, if you like someone, seize the opportunity to tell them."
"If you don't seize it, someone else will, and then you'll regret it."
Jiang Yubai lowered his eyes and remained silent.
He's now seizing job opportunities and subtly poaching employees.
But I can't tell my father this.
Otherwise, he'll be faced with a whole bunch of grand pronouncements.
Jiang Yubai simply nodded silently.
......
At 2 PM, as soon as the studio opened, Jiang Wan delivered the contract to the director.
I'm finally done with my work.
After leaving the studio, Jiang Wan opened her phone and called a car to go home.
WeChat pops up information about the timing of the business.
【miss you】
Jiang Wan paused slightly, her thought of going home turning into a desire to go see him first.
But I can't tell him, that way it'll be a surprise.
Jiang Wan began to probe for information.
I miss you too ˙ᵕ˙ᰔ
Are you at the office?
"Yes, I have a meeting to attend later."
[Brother, you've worked so hard~ I'm going to get busy now.]
Okay, keep it up!
【come on! (๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ)】
After sending the message, Jiang Wan took a taxi to the headquarters of the Shang Group.
In the taxi, she called Shang Shixu's assistant.
He was asked to cooperate with her so that she could sneak into the office after the meeting.
Upon receiving the request, the assistant, knowing how important Jiang Wan was to his boss, dared not neglect it in the slightest.
He took it upon himself to agree.
The boss might even give him a big red envelope afterwards!
Having established connections, Jiang Wan was able to "infiltrate" Shang Shixu's office without any obstacles.
There are five minutes left in the meeting.
Jiang Wan sat in his comfortable boss's chair, looking at the door directly in front of her, waiting with her legs crossed.
