”Is his body alright? Recovered well?” It’s said it takes a hundred days to recover from bone and muscle injuries, not to mention Jiang Jinsang was born with this condition.

”It should be fine.”

If anyone dared call him fragile or useless in the future, Tang Wan really wanted to beat them up, Jiang Jinsang was simply...

”Did you two take precautions?”

”No.”

”Planning to have a kid?”

”He said if we get pregnant, we’ll keep it, so...”

”Don’t indulge him too much. I just saw you today and I felt your complexion didn’t look very good. Anything in excess isn’t good; you know what I mean.”

Frustrated, Tang Wan reflected, honestly, that Shen Shuci was younger than her yet so ”affectionate” to discuss such matters with her, which left her feeling indescribable.

Shen Shuci felt that since Tang Wan’s mother had passed away early and the Shen Family had treated her so well, it was somewhat like transferring the love meant for their own daughter to her. Therefore, she always felt that she owed Tang Wan a duty and obligation.

Tang Wan exited the apartment building, and the cool night breeze seemed to disperse some of the heat from her face.

”What did your aunt talk to you about?” Jiang Jinsang asked, noticing her embarrassed expression.

”Nothing much.” Tang Wan was too embarrassed to repeat the exact words.

”Don’t you think today’s incident was a bit strange?”

Jiang Jinsang sat in the car, idly reflecting on the day’s events again. If today’s incidents hadn’t occurred, he might never have known about the things Shen Shuci and the Huo Family were involved in that he was unaware of.

But the two of them seemed normal...

Mainly, two specific people did not at all seem like they were having an affair.

Jiang Shiyi, not close with any of them, should have been more objective. Nothing he said was particularly suspicious.

”It’s fine if your aunt is okay.” Tang Wan also realized many details were unclear but felt it improper to press further, ”Alright, let’s not think too much about it.”

”I feel you often overthink things, turning simple matters into complex ones.”

”You should rest well instead. With this free time, maybe help elder brother with the wedding details.”

Jiang Jinsang nodded; he and Zhou Zhongqing’s affair was clearly just overthinking. He and Tang Wan had indeed come close yesterday...

And he was perfectly healthy!

He wasn’t foolish; thinking it through, he realized he’d been duped by Zhou Zhongqing. He always told himself he was fine, which was true, but knowing himself too well meant he could be easily led by subtle expressions.

The truth proved that sometimes overthinking wasn’t beneficial.

Meanwhile, at the Huo Family’s side, their car had left Beijing long ago, and during a rest stop, they made a call home.

”You didn’t escort her home?” Liang Yun frowned slightly by the car.

”Xiaowu and his wife came.”

”So what if they came? You should have taken her home.” Liang Yun had a severe headache.

Ridiculous teammates, what to do when you can’t count on them to handle things?

Creating opportunities without knowing how to seize them.

”I’m telling you, there aren’t that many coincidences in this world. If opportunity doesn’t knock, you have to learn to create it. Driving her to and from work daily, who knows if she’ll just consider you a driver.”

”I am not a driver.”

”Then shut up, I’m hanging up.”

Huo Zheng had just gone to the service area to get some hot water and handed it to his wife, ”What’s with him again?”

”You knew to help me with food and hot water back in our day. This kid is even more clueless; giving him opportunities and he still doesn’t grasp them. With him like this, Xiaowu’s kids will be born and he still won’t have courted his wife.”

”I’ve told you before, he’s not like me.”

”You...”

Opportunities might not come every day, but surprisingly, the very next day, the police station called them early in the morning needing some details checked, and he went to Left Bank Garden to pick up Shen Shuci to the station.

Only verifying a few things and signing some documents, it took less than an hour.

Recalling his mother’s words, before Shen Shuci could speak, he took the initiative, ”I’ll take you back.”

”Mm.” Shen Shuci nodded.

Still silent on the way, they reached her apartment building. Seeing it was just past nine in the morning, and that she didn’t have work or any plans, she hesitantly asked, ”Mr. Huo, would you like to come up for a bit?”

The Huo family, hearing this, thought it was promising!

Elated internally, yet they strove to remain calm.
