Chapter 550: 351 Tang Wan is Not to be Messed With, Taotao’s Careful Nurturing (2 updates)_2

He had thought that revisiting the old place would allow him and Shen Zhixian to pick up the beautiful memories of the past, full of passion, and then…

The ideal was wonderful, but the reality gave him a hard slap in the face.

Taking kids out for fun meant even ordinary intimacy was hard to come by, let alone “that” kind of thing. After looking after the two kids, Shen Zhixian had no strength left even to lift her arms. On the first day of the trip, her legs hurt so much she asked him to massage them…

Jiang Yanting still thought he could massage her legs and then…

But Shen Zhixian fell asleep directly, with no “then” at all.

Over the past few days, he had done nothing but cater to the two children.

“Daddy, come over quickly and take a photo for us!” Jiangjiang waved his little hand, calling him over.

Taking children out means that apart from looking after them, you also have to carry a load of clutter. Jiang Yanting’s role, aside from carrying bags, was to act as their photographer.

“I want to take a photo over there!” Taotao pointed at some steps across the street, with a classic Europen building behind them, complete with colored glass that refracted a kaleidoscope of light in the sunlight.

Jiang Yanting took a photo for the three of them and was looking down at the picture…

“How did it turn out? I want to see.” Saying this, Taotao jumped down the steps and ran towards Jiang Yanting.

Jiang Yanting took a step towards her. Traveling together really improves relationships – his with Taotao had become much closer than it used to be. Watching her hopping and skipping over, her twin ponytails flouncing adorably, his face suddenly changed…

At the same moment, Shen Zhixian realized the danger, too.

From around a corner, a black sedan suddenly sped towards them. At a corner like this, one should slow down, but the car’s pace wasn’t decreasing. The driver clearly realized the danger, braking while honking the horn…

The piercing honk made Shen Zhixian’s pupils shrink, and as Taotao turned her head to look at the oncoming car, her young age made her forget to react for a moment.

They were less than two meters away…

Shen Zhixian was too far to get there in time no matter how hard she ran, but still, she started to run frantically. The man on the other side, however, was faster.

He scooped the child up just as the car brushed past Jiang Yanting’s clothing, finally stopping with a screech a few meters ahead of them.

Shen Zhixian was trembling with shock, running over with stiff arms and legs.

“Yanting?”

“Taotao’s fine.” Jiang Yanting’s voice was muffled, his complexion a bit pale, clutching Taotao so tightly in his arms that she was completely shielded.

“You’re okay?” Shen Zhixian frowned.

“I’m okay.”

“Uncle…” Taotao noticed a graze on the back of his hand.

…

After the unexpected incident, the four of them returned to the hotel early, not going to the Hospital. They got a first-aid kit from the front desk. Shen Zhixian intended to treat his wound, but Taotao insisted on doing it herself.

“Uncle, this might hurt a bit, hang in there.” Taotao blew on the scrape on his back and began cleaning the wound with a cotton swab dipped in disinfectant.

Taotao had been startled at the time, and it wasn’t until the ride back to the hotel that she suddenly started crying, her face turning red and her tears looking up at her; that pitiful sight brought both distress and amusement to Jiang Yanting.

It was just a slight scrape from the car’s side mirror that had broken the skin, nothing serious. Otherwise, Shen Zhixian wouldn’t have let Taotao treat it.

“I’ll blow on it—” Taotao held his hand, her actions both careful and meticulous.

But what happened next took a very strange turn. Taotao was worried Shen Zhixian wouldn’t take good care of him and declared she would personally look after Jiang Yanting.

Taotao was rarely this affectionate with him. Logically, Jiang Yanting should have been happy, but…

Why did it seem like this girl was treating him like a child to be coddled?

She watched him during meals and while he slept.

It was just like playing house with a girl.

He took a moment to hold a meeting with the people from his company, and she even insisted on sitting there and watching him…

A dozen company executives were waiting in front of the camera for Jiang Yanting to assign tasks.

Suddenly, the cold-blooded Mr. Jiang Second showed a smile to one side, “Five minutes, it’s not time yet.”
