Chapter 511: The 326th rejected Lord Jiang, sullen and joyless [Prize Quiz] Jiang Jinsang bit her hard, causing Tang Wan to sharply inhale cool air and push him away. When she did, he just stared at her intently.

She reached out to touch the corner of her lip, and his eyes seemed to carry a warm breeze as his gaze traveled downward, landing on the slit of her cheongsam. Perhaps she had struggled too fiercely just before, revealing a stretch of skin...

Soft and dazzling.

She lifted her hand to pull at the dress, and the tips of her ears turned red in a flash.

Jiang Jinsang looked down at her, and after a long pause, chuckled lightly, "Now you know to be shy?" Tang Wan's heart was pounding wildly, as if it was about to burst out of her chest. She bit her lip and said softly, "When you keep staring like that, anyone would feel embarrassed. Yet the moment you walked in the door..." She touched the corner of her lip again, feeling somewhat annoyed.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Jinsang stepped forward, reached out to ruffle her hair, and said, "You look very pretty today." "I thought that..." His voice was very low, and as he leaned in close, he teased her ear with a slight nibble, "Just wear it at hforto see in the future..." This remark seemed to carry different undertones.

Tang Wan's heart rhythm was thunderous. She slightly tilted her head down and buried it in his chest, faintly hearing his strong heartbeat. Wear it at hfor him to see? Such words, no matter how she heard them, were somewhat shameful. Tang Wan, feeling rather embarrassed, snuggled into his embrace...

From his remark, she probably guessed why he was acting off today. She just hadn't expected someone to be so incredibly jealous.

And staying silent about it for so long.

He truly was quite the tease.

Jiang Jinsang snickered with restraint, pinched her chin, bent his waist, and inclined his body to kiss her.

Tang Wan, with her face upturned and her back pressed tightly against the wall, was in a daze...

"Wanwan..." "Hmm?" Tang Wan's voice was also soft, her body pressing against his.

They say that Southern women are made of water, and her current state...

Indeed seemed like one could squeeze water out of her.

"The things you said toin the hospital, do they still count?" His voice was low, as if tempting her.

"What?" "The matter of getting the certificate." Tang Wan simply hummed in response.

"Wanwan..." It seemed like someone was trying to seduce her soul again.

It wasn't until the two knocked over the dresser box that they were shocked back to reality. Tang Wan let out a low cough and reached to adjust her neckline.

Jiang Jinsang bent over to pick up the box, remarking, "The cheongsam does look nice, but there's one thing that's not so great..." "What?" "The buttons are hard to undo." This cheongsam designed with Chinese knotted buttons, and not being familiar with this kind of clothing, Jiang Jinsang had never worn such attire. Handling these kinds of buttons was naturally quite a struggle.

Tang Wan's face flushed even redder, as she stooped to pick things up, "I'll clean it up." "Wanwan, about getting our certificate, what do you think?" Jiang Jinsang teased her.

"What about it?" "I think driving with a license, being legally on the road, is better, don't you agree?" Tang Wan crouched down gathering the items, which had previously been neatly arranged in the box but were now hastily shoved in by her, obviously not fitting. This caused her sannoyance, and she muttered casually: "Are you that conservative?" Jiang Jinsang: "..." In modern society, unlike the past, it is quite normal to have a relationship or live together before marriage.

"About the certificate, it's still..." Unable to fit everything in the box, Tang Wan opened a drawer to temporarily place the items there before she could organize them. However, upon opening the drawer, she found it silently housing a dark red booklet.

"You even brought the household registration book." Jiang Jinsang, quick-eyed and deft-handed, had already picked up the household registration book.

"No, this..." Tang Wan had completely forgotten that she had placed the household registration book in this particular drawer. Now that Jiang Jinsang held it in his hands, she felt both embarrassed and annoyed.

"I brought the household registration book to Beijing not to register our marriage with you. You know, I'm working here now, and sprocedures might require the household registration book..." "If I asked my dad to post it again, it would be a problem if it got lost on the way." "Dealing with things in a different place is always tricky, having documents on hand is just being prudent!" Tang Wan certainly couldn't admit, "I brought the household registration book over just to marry you." Talking nonsense, she was about to bluff her way through this encounter.

Jiang Jinsang caressed the booklet teasingly, his expression clearly saying, "Keep making it up, go on!" He knew very well how she had acquired this household registration book.

Tang Wan couldn't continue, and when she tried to snatch the booklet, Jiang Jinsang wouldn't let go. This back and forth struggled ended up on the bed...

"Jiang Jinsang!" Tang Wan was getting anxious.

Jiang Jinsang stopped teasing her and just whispered in her ear as he finally handed over the booklet: "Wanwan, lying is not good." "When have I ever..." Tang Wan's face flushed with embarrassment. Had she been that obvious just now? "Your grandfather wasn't saying this when he gave you the booklet." Tang Wan's mind exploded. He really had heard. When she had asked him, he had acted so righteous, not eavesdropping on others' privacy, right? Now to say such a thing, his tactics were almost shamelessly relentless.

After Tang Wan got up from the bed and started tidying up again, feeling somewhat stifled, Jiang Jinsang approached her after a while and whispered, "Are you angry?" "Not really." "But... I was serious when I spoke to you. About getting our marriage license, you should think it over carefully. I'm always free." His voice was deep and purposely flirtatious, making Tang Wan feel weak in the knees. "I truly..." "...want to marry you, to be with you forever." That night, perhaps because of Jiang Jinsang's excessive teasing during the day, Tang Wan was dazed and had a vivid dream, which was quite embarrassing.

In the dream, she and Jiang Jinsang not only got the marriage license but also had children. The most terrifying part was that at the age of twenty-eight, he had passed away, leaving her to raise their children as a widow...

She woke up from the nightmare sweating profusely.

**

Ever since Jiang Jinsang mentioned getting the marriage license, Tang e Wan didn't say much but essentially rejected the idea. When they met again, everything seemed normal, yet she could clearly feel that he was a bit downcast. He wasn't focusing during workouts, warming up inadequately, almost causing a ligament strain. Even when reading, he couldn't concentrate, his mind elsewhere all day long.

Even Qi Zeyan noticed when he visited him, asking reflexively: "Jiang Xiaowu, what's up with you lately? Feeling blue?" Others might not know, but Tang Wan was well aware. The proposal was her idea, and she had practically declined him in the end. Thinking about it, he was probably heartbroken...

She thought it would pass in a few days, but his low spirits persisted. During a hospital visit, Zhou 0 M Zhongding seemed to notice something and indirectly asked her if Jiang Jinsang was dealing with something that made his mood off. "Shouldn't be anything serious." Tang Wan couldn't tell him the real situation; moreover, it was all just her speculation.

"His recovery is at a crucial stage right now. Maintaining a happy mood is important. If there's an issue, try to console him more if he keeps being Whe down, it could affect his recovery," Zhou Zhongqing said with a light chuckle. "This kid has always been carefree; there isn't much that can affect him. What's up with him?" Tang Wan remained silent...

"Oh yes, the family recognition banquet in a few days-I've already notified your grandfather and father." Zhou Zhongqing considered this event extremely important.

Tang Wan nodded. "They mentioned it to me, saying they'd be coming to Beijing in a few days." Tang Wan of course understood what was really bothering Jiang Jinsang...

After much thought, the person who tied the bell must also be the one to untie it. So, one evening, she still knocked on his door.

"Visiting so late?" Jiang Jinsang, having just taken a shower, was distracting himself by teasing Lord Wansui. This tortoise had been harassed by him countless times since he was in the hospital and moved to the old house.

Boredom, tease a tortoise.

Happy, tease a tortoise.

Upset, still torment the poor thing.

Lord Wansui felt that the human heart was too complicated to understand.

"I've got something to tell you." Tang Wan's knuckle brushed her lips as she coughed.

"Oh, by the way, my sister-in-law said she's cooking tomorrow and invited us over for dinner." "Okay." Tang Wan hesitated, biting her lip...

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Jinsang lowered his head, poking at the tortoise.

"About getting our marriage license..." Jiang Jinsang's eyes brightened for a moment, his demeanor calm and unruffled, showing no sign of anger or joy, just calmly tossing the tortoise back into the tank.

Lord Wansui: ...
