Chapter 70: 070 Steal a kiss? Fifth Master is very nervous
Mr. Tang was in a coma, Mr. Tang’s marriage was in crisis, and Tang Wan’s reputation was damaged. Although they had sued the media spreading rumors, the discussion was still intense, plunging the Tang Family deep into a maelstrom of public opinion.
The entire Tang Corporation’s stocks were unstable and had fallen to their lowest point in nearly two years within just a few days.
However, Tang Yunxian seemed unconcerned, having sent those three people away, he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and turned to Jiang Jinsang, “It’s time for lunch, I’m planning to make some noodles. Will you have some?”
“I’m fine with anything.”
Jiang Jinsang couldn’t just sit in the living room, so he walked to the kitchen doorway and stood for a while.
He thought Tang Yunxian might just whip up something simple, but seeing his chopping skills and techniques, he knew he wasn’t a novice, “Mr. Tang, are you good at cooking?”
“Not really good, but decent. However, the noodles I cook are Wanwan’s favorite.”
Jiang Jinsang slightly raised his eyebrows and leaned in to observe.
“You should wait outside; the kitchen is quite messy.”
“You are an elder; letting you work here while I just sit and enjoy the fruits of your labor outside doesn’t sit well with me, don’t worry about me, just carry on with your work.”
Tang Yunxian raised his eyebrows:
This young man from the Jiang Family really knows his boundaries well.
The noodles Tang Yunxian cooked were simple, but in the end, he chopped some cilantro and turned his head to ask Jiang Jinsang, “Want some?”
Jiang Jinsang looked at the green cilantro and squeezed out a faint smile from the corner of his mouth, “I’m not picky.”
Those from the Jiang Family standing outside looked up at the ceiling silently, amazed at how shameless he was, trying to put on a good front in front of his future father-in-law.
“That’s good,” Tang Yunxian laughed.
After eating, Tang Yunxian arranged a guest room for Jiang Jinsang, then went back to his room to rest, only heading to the hospital in the evening to replace Tang Wan.
Jiang Jinsang knew he would stay overnight to keep watch and had wanted to follow along.
“You have been here all night yesterday, staying up with us. Rest well at home today; Wanwan will come back later. If you want to go to the hospital, come with her in the morning.”
“I slept all afternoon; it’s fine. I’ll come over tonight and can keep you company by chatting.”
The Jiang Family members maintained a serious backdrop, yet secretly scoffed inside:
Miss Tang is coming back tonight, and I don’t believe you actually want to leave?
How did we never realize before that our Fifth Master had such a flair for drama?
“You are already not well; if you exhaust yourself, your family will blame me. Listen to me, I have the final say in this matter, you should rest here.” Tang Yunxian’s face might look refined, but from the way he handled matters, it was clear he was quite a assertive person.
Jiang Jinsang wanted to say something more but was interrupted before he could start.
“Since you call me ‘uncle’ and are staying in my house, I must take responsibility for you. Don’t say anymore, you need to rest here tonight.”
Jiang Jinsang pursed his lips, seemingly quite reluctant, “Then I will listen to you and go over tomorrow morning.”
Before leaving, Tang Yunxian added, “If they come back, just kick them out directly. If they ask, tell them to come find me.”
He was naturally referring to the Zhang Family.
“I understand.”

When Tang Wan got home, it was already past seven in the evening, and she looked utterly exhausted.
Seeing Jiang Jinsang, her smile was forced, “Fifth Master.”
“Have you had dinner?”

“Not yet; I don’t really feel like eating.”
“I haven’t eaten either. I’ll go make some noodles, and we can eat together before resting.”
“You’ll cook?” Tang Wan raised an eyebrow, “Or maybe I should do it.”
“It’s okay.”
Tang Wan had never seen him cook before and was not reassured. Initially, she went to the kitchen to watch for a while, her eyes slightly narrowed…
It was her favorite kind of noodles.
Though she thought so deep down, she didn’t say anything aloud.
At that moment, Tang Yunxian was at the hospital, wiping his elderly father’s body, completely unaware that Jiang Jinsang had taken the opportunity to secretly learn and use his specialties to please his daughter.
Tang Wan was truly exhausted. When she got home, her body finally relaxed and fatigue overwhelmed her. She had wanted to sit on the couch for a bit, but by the time Jiang Jinsang brought out the noodles, she had already dozed off.
“Miss Tang?” Jiang Jinsang approached and called her softly.
The living room’s crystal ceiling fragmented the dim light, casting patterns on her face. The weather in Pingjiang was cool, the air conditioner was on inside. Despite the days of hard work coloring her face pale, the warm breeze flushed it with a touch of rosiness.
Jiang Jinsang came up to her, bending over so that his gaze was almost level with hers. A stray lock of her hair had fallen across her forehead, fluttering slightly with his breath.
“Wanwan—”
His voice deepened, sliding into that intimately ambiguous place, tender and enthralling, tickling the heart.
“It’s time to eat.”
Tang Wan was obviously too tired to respond.
Jiang Jinsang reached out, his fingers brushing the stray lock of hair from her forehead back behind her ear. His gaze landed on her small, rounded earlobe, and he couldn’t help but pinch it gently.
Even so, Tang Wan showed no response, but Jiang Jinsang’s gaze had already drifted elsewhere…
His eyes rested on the edge of her lips.
Pale and even dry, devoid of much color, perhaps due to the air conditioning. Her consciousness was blurry as she pursed her lips.
Jiang Jinsang’s throat tightened slightly, and he leaned in closer.
The nearer he got, the more nervous he became.
Perhaps he was too close, his breath too hot, blowing uncomfortably on Tang Wan’s face. She shifted uneasily, and coincidentally her cheek brushed past his lips.
His heart raced, his breath quickened…
For that instant, Jiang Jinsang felt as if time had stopped, fixated on the person before him, almost wishing to…
Fiercely kiss her.
From where the Jiang Family stood, the distance was too great, from their angle, their fifth master seemed to have completely pinned Miss Tang to the couch, in a pose that was indescribable…
Taking advantage of someone’s sleep to steal a kiss?
Shameless.
Tang Wan was woken by the ringing of her phone, groggily opening her eyes, she grabbed her mobile, glanced at the caller ID, “Hello, Dad—”
“Have you eaten?”
“Mhm, I ate.” Tang Wan replied, just not wanting her father to worry.
“That’s good, eat then take a bath, and rest well…”
Tang Yunxian spoke for a while before hanging up. After disconnecting the call, Tang Wan went to find Jiang Jinsang, who was sitting on a single-seat sofa, his pale leather, the corners of his mouth cold, but…
From a distance, Tang Wan couldn’t hear his breathing.
Urgent and heavy, his palms sweaty.
After Tang Yunxian hung up, he finally felt reassured. He didn’t feel comfortable about Tang Wan staying at home alone; his eyelids had been twitching, prompting him to call and check on her, feeling somewhat relieved to know she had eaten.
He added one last piece of advice, “Lock the door when you go to sleep.”
Jiang Jinsang was still an outsider, and a man. While Tang Yunxian presently had a good impression of him, that didn’t stop him from reminding his daughter to be cautious.
