<strong>Chapter 292: 201 Wuye’s sudden enthusiasm, prepare for the unforeseen (2 more updates)</strong>


    After hiding the object, Tang Wan didn’t pay much attention, but she clearly noticed that Jiang Jinsang’s looks at her had be increasingly strange.


    His smile usually yed around the corners of his lips, yet today it bore an unusual vor, at times intense as fire, at others mild like water, as if to drown her in it.


    The two had been conversing when he would often just stop and stare straight at her.


    “What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?” Tang Wan asked, heart fluttering under his gaze.


    “Nothing, I just think you look good and want to take another look.”


    What kind of cheesy love line was that? What was wrong with him? It’s not like he was sick. Why the inexplicable behavior!


    Jiang Jinsang would flirt with her asionally too, but not like this, unprovoked and all the time. What was going on?


    “Wanwan, do you have any expectations about marriage, like what kind of wedding you’d like?”


    “Why are you asking this all of a sudden?” Tang Wan asked, looking down and casually flipping through some entertainment gossip because when a man starts asking such questions, he’s very likely proposing or thinking about marriage.


    Suddenly discussing this made Tang Wan’s heart race, nervously pounding.


    “Recently I saw my elder brother consulting about these things, so I just wanted to ask if you had any particr expectations…”


    Jiang Yanting and Shen Zhixian already had a child together, engagement wasn’t necessary; they could just directly register for marriage, consulting about weddings was perfectly normal.


    “I guess anything is fine.”


    …


    After returning to her room, Tang Wan still couldn’t suppress her wildly thumping heart.


    Was he going to propose?


    But their rtionship had not been long, was it too soon? Actually, thinking it through, they’d only known each other for a few months.


    But what if he really did propose? Her heart started racing faster as she entertained the thought.


    What Jiang Jinsang had in mind was just to indirectly find out if there was anything she particrly liked. After all, their first time ought to have some ceremonial feel, not just be haphazard—if she liked rose scents for example, a little arrangement couldpletely alter the atmosphere.


    But she probably hadn’tpletely cleaned herself up recently, there was still time.


    Tang Wan thought he was proposing, but she didn’t know he just wanted to sleep with her.

    Tang Wan was in a whirl of thoughts when Tang Yunxian suddenly texted her that Jiang Zhaolin had arrived, asking her to tidy up ande down to the living room.


    Jiang Zhaolin?


    What was he here for?


    She changed into more appropriate attire and when she reached downstairs, she found that Jiang Jinsang had already arrived. Members from both the Jiang and Tang families were there, and many new year gifts were ced on the tea table.


    Although their rtionship was strained, they didn’t tear each other apart in public; visiting during the festive season was normal.


    This time, Jiang Zhaolin had specificallye to apologize to Tang Wan, mainly about the past incidents. After observing his confrontation with Jiang Jinsang, Tang Wan had gained some insight into his personality.


    “Let’s put it all behind us.” Tang Wan said with a smile, wary at heart yet maintaining appearances.


    “Wanwan, right? Old Tang is truly fortunate; you’re so pretty. I’ve always heard people from the south are nourished well—look at how tender your skin is…” The woman speaking should be Jiang Zhaolin’s wife. From the pile of gifts, she pulled out a box and handed it to Tang Wan, “This is a gift specially picked for you. Why don’t you open it and see if you like it?”


    Tang Wan nced at her grandfather who remained silent, but the olddy smiled, “Just ept it.”


    “Thank you, Auntie.”


    “Open it and see,” the woman smiled.


    After unwrapping it, on the ck box was the gilded logo of [Yutang Spring], inside was a gold bracelet set with a small ruyi the size of a little finger, exquisitely delicate.


    “Thank you, I like it a lot.”


    Just the gold chain wasn’t cheap, let alone with jade from Yutang Spring, a jade store known for its handmade craftsmanship, which had been very popr in recent years. Their jade’s quality was always good, not at all cheap.


    “Good to hear you like it.”


    Jiang Zhaolin and his wife intended to gain some face, and the olddy wasn’t going to make it difficult on purpose, “The New Year ising, isn’t Shuyaning back?”


    “That girl has nned a trip with friends for the New Year. Young people just don’t like staying at home,” Jiang Zhaolin chuckled.


    “What about ‘Third’ and Xiaosi?”


    “Third is too busy. As for that other boy…” Jiang Zhaolin began, frustration bubbling as he mentioned Jiang Chengsi, “Don’t get me started on him… He’s been rebellious since he was young, never gave me a moment’s peace. I wish he’d be half as worry-free as his brother.”


    …


    Jiang Zhaolin and his wife were nning to stay for dinner, but Jiang Yanting leaned over to whisper a few words to the olddy.
