Chapter 500: 320 Luring the Snake out of Its Hole, Jiang Family Father and Son’s Unique Aesthetics (2 Updates)Jiang Mansion

Tang Wan ultimately did not get to share a meal with Zhou Zhongqing. When she returned home, Jiang Jinsang was hunched over, still working on his puzzle, a completely pure white one without a single patterned clue, a thousand pieces, each unique.

She rarely played puzzles, at first finding them fresh and interesting, but after failing to find a single correct piece, she lost her sense of achievement, and naturally, it became boring.

Jiang Jinsang, on the other hand, enjoyed it immensely and quickly assembled over half of it.

”Back already? How’s Taotao?”

”She’s fine, eldest brother and Teacher Shen told me to come back first.” Tang Wan had intended to stay and help, but they said it was unnecessary.

”I heard she cracked her head?”

”Just a little skin broken, not too serious. Uncle Zhou said there won’t be a scar.” Tang Wan sat down beside him, idly fiddling with the puzzle pieces on the table, ”Fourth brother went to E country.”

”What for?” Jiang Jinsang smiled at her.

”He said it was about transferring Taotao’s household registration, something about needing a birth certificate. How could Teacher Shen not even have the child’s birth certificate? It’s clear he’s just using any excuse to go over there...”

”Wanwan.”

”What?”

”The pieces of my puzzle while chaotic, had order on the table, but you’ve jumbled them.”

”...” Tang Wan furrowed her brows, put down the puzzle piece, and was about to walk away when he grabbed her wrist, ”Take your time with it, I won’t disturb you.”

”These things, brother and sister-in-law, have their own considerations, we just need to watch the drama play out.”

”At first, fourth brother didn’t find anything in E country,” Tang Wan pursed her lips.

Originally Jiang Chengsi had gone abroad to investigate, but aside from discovering Shen Zhixian once carried twins, all other information was a jumbled mess, nothing useful.

There were suspects, but no evidence, no witnesses. If they had really locked onto someone, they wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble to make Shen Zhixian do some faux family separation.

It was all to flush out the snake, to make that person expose themselves.

Yet, after all this time, the ghost in the Xie Family remained silent; one could say remarkably patient.

”We didn’t find anything before, but this time might be different.” Jiang Jinsang’s smile was laden with deeper meaning, ”Wanwan, don’t forget, times have changed, last time fourth brother went in secret, the Xie Family knew nothing, but this time...”

Tang Wan narrowed her eyes in thought, ”Doing it so ostentatiously on purpose, just to let the person in the Xie Family know, is to inform them he’s gone abroad.”

”Taotao’s injuries weren’t serious, the Xie Family are aware, and fourth brother wouldn’t be criticized for traveling abroad over her minor injuries. Getting a birth certificate is just a pretext, for the Xie Family to know...”

”Fourth brother will go to the Hospital!” Tang Wan blurted out, ”So...”

”Those with a guilt-ridden heart will definitely take action; we just need to wait for the fish to bite.” Jiang Jinsang caressed her wrist, ”Still angry? I’ve heard that if a woman is angry, nothing that a kiss can’t resolve...”

”Wanwan, do you want me to kiss you?”

Tang Wan was flustered; what was this nonsense he’s saying!

While she was still stunned by his remark, Jiang Jinsang had already stood up, leaned over, turned his head, and pecked her lips:

”Is that enough? Are you not mad anymore?”

”Jiang Jinsang...”

”I’ve heard if once isn’t enough, then twice. If not, it’s settled in bed.”

Tang Wan was both amused and exasperated; was there anyone else so brazen in their moves?

”Jiang Jinsang, if you want to kiss me just say so; there’s no need to... mmm—” Tang Wan’s remaining words were lost between their lips, and it was only after she was kissed senseless that Jiang Jinsang whispered into her ear.

His breath was scorching, as if fire traveled from her ear to her neck, searing deep into her heart, leaving her entire body burning...

His voice was hoarse as he said,

”Wanwan, indeed, I want to kiss you.”

Tang Wan’s face flushed bright red, embarrassed and nervous, but the man only became increasingly shameless.
