“Miss Shen? Aren’t you sleepy?” Jiang Jinsang’s words were quite direct: Please leave now!

He didn’t understand Shen Shuci, couldn’t grip her temperament, and didn’t know what she was playing at. He wasn’t afraid of people finding out about his affection for Tang Wan, but they weren’t in an established relationship, and Tang Yunxian clearly didn’t want her to marry him. If he interfered now, marrying her would only become more difficult.

This little aunt was very good at grasping one’s sore spots.

Shen Shuci turned her head to look at him, “I’m still jet-lagged, not sleepy yet.”

Her phone vibrated at that moment; it was a call from the patriarch of the Shen Family, so she stepped out to take the call.

“Aren’t you coming back to sleep?” There are vacant rooms in the old Tang residence; since they knew people from the Shen Family had arrived, they naturally wouldn’t let them stay at a hotel.

“I’ll head back soon.”

“Wanwan has drunk too much and is asleep. Are you still trying to test the waters?”

Shen Shuci just smiled.

In fact, her approach was indeed somewhat brusque, yet it was also the most effective one. Firstly, she wanted to see if Tang Wan truly had feelings for him. Secondly, she wanted to see what kind of attitude Jiang Jinsang would display towards her.

Would he be completely submissive, or would he know how to refuse?

Shen Shuci might not look dainty, but she had a good temperament; to him, perhaps that was a temptation as well.

She wouldn’t stay long in the country, so she had to choose the most direct and effective way to probe.

Moreover, she also wanted to see, with her being so assertive, to what extent would Jiang Jinsang yield?

…

Once Shen Shuci hung up and went back into the room, Jiang Jinsang stood up and walked outside.

“Lord Jiang the Fifth, where are you going at this late hour?” Shen Shuci raised an eyebrow.

Shen Shuci wasn’t foolish; though he sat there, his mind had already wandered off. Now heading out, he obviously couldn’t sit still and wanted to find Wanwan.

This girl was drunk and not thinking clearly. With such a big bad wolf on her trail, how much of her would be left intact?

But just as she thought to speak, Jiang Jinsang quickly blocked the words she was about to utter.

“It’s a bit stuffy in here, I’m going out for some fresh air. Miss Shen, please take care of Jiangjiang for a bit. I’ll be back shortly.”

Shen Shuci’s eyebrows twisted.

What, what did you say?

Asking me to look after your nephew? And then what? So you can go looking for Wanwan?

Ever since Jiangjiang had come over, even though they lived in the same compound, Jiang Jinsang had few opportunities to get close to Tang Wan. Since Shen Shuci wanted to mess with him, he wasn’t going to sit around and wait for doom.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to adjust to the time difference? You shouldn’t be sleeping yet, right? I’ll just take a little walk. I should be back very soon.”

Turned the tables!

Shen Shuci’s hand gripping the storybook tightened ever so slightly, “The winter wind is cool, and the dew is heavy. Especially when walking at night, be careful and stay safe.”

“Thanks for the reminder.”

Jiang Jinsang said with a smile, since someone wanted to help entertain the child, he wasn’t going to be polite about it.

“The old house is not well lit on the outside; make sure you don’t walk into the wrong place.”

They were both clever people; some things didn’t need to be spoken too directly as they understood each other’s meaning. Shen Shuci meant: Do not go looking for Tang Wan.

“I’ll be careful,” Jiang Jinsang said, putting on his coat, grabbing his phone, even fitting in an earphone, and wrapping a scarf around himself—a look that really seemed as if he was just going out for a walk.

Shen Shuci bit her lip; this Jiang Jinsang…

He was also quite cunning.

No wonder people in Beijing said he was tricky and difficult to deal with; after being provoked all day, he finally made his move.

But Tang Wan was drunk; wouldn’t going to her be like a lamb entering the lion’s den?

Shen Shuci furrowed her brow, feeling her tests and trials somehow unwittingly created an opportunity for the two of them. The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became.

So it ended up that she deliberately played Jiang Jinsang during the day, and at night, he got her to take care of the child? Getting rid of the little nuisance certainly made his actions more convenient.

The members of the Jiang Family standing aside were very aware not to follow Jiang Jinsang out:
