After Jiang Jinshang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the small courtyard instantly became strange. Only the thrush in the corridor called out.

“Yo — other people are chatting, what’s that little bird being all noisy about!” Old Master Tang walked down the corridor with a smile.

“Old Master Tang, your thrush’s tail is swaying. I’m afraid it’s trying to court,” someone said with a smile.

“This little fellow has intelligence. It’s most likely because he sees people in love and wants to find a partner himself.”

Tang Wan thought, ‘Who’s in love here?’

The few old men weren’t stupid. When they heard this, their eyes scanned Jiang Jinshang and Tang Wan, and they smiled meaningfully.

After they left, Zhang Liyun wanted to find an opportunity to chat with Jiang Jinshang alone. However, he raised his eyelids and didn’t give her a single glance. She had just hit a wall with the old man. Gritting her teeth, she could only leave first.

Tang Wan pulled her grandfather to the side. “Grandfather, can you watch what you say? I have nothing to do with Fifth Master!”

“Then why did you go to his room last night?” The old man was holding a small porcelain plate in his hand. His fingertips were rubbing the bird food as he prepared to feed the thrush.

“I was just taking something.”

“What’s so important that you had to take it in the middle of the night?”

Tang Wan took a deep breath. “It’s not the middle of the night. Besides, we only talked for a while.”

“A man and a woman staying alone together in a room in the middle of the night. Are you telling me that you’re just chatting?” Old Master Tang glanced at her with a strange look in his eyes.

He didn’t believe in her nonsense.

“Anyway, we’re not in a relationship.” Tang Wan was so angry that she stopped explaining.

“I didn’t say that you two were in a relationship, did I?” Old Master Tang sneered. “There are some people here who have to come and explain themselves. Making it too obvious —

“Alright, stop staring at me. I know that your relationship is pure, alright!” Elder Tang handed the bird food to Tang Wan. “I’m a little tired from standing. You shall feed the bird.”

“Then don’t keep saying things that make people misunderstand!” Tang Wan held the small porcelain plate and didn’t know what to do with him.

“Then don’t keep staring at Jinshang.”

“I…”

“I’m old but I’m not blind yet. Ever since he stayed at our house, your eyes have never moved away from him.”

Tang Wan was choked until her face turned red. She was worried that Jiang Jinshang wouldn’t be used to the new environment, so she paid extra attention to him.

“Ayo, kids these days are too stubborn. They ask for someone’s phone number during the day and go into someone’s room at night to talk. But they’re merely friends!”

After saying that, the person hummed and even sang, “You have a matchmaker and a betrothal, so why can’t you be husband and wife –“

He had altered the lyrics, and it was obvious that he was secretly poking at her and Jiang Jinshang.

Tang Wan felt stifled, but there was nothing she could do. She put down the porcelain plate and turned around to go into the kitchen.

The thrush stood on the perch in the cage and flapped it wings. Who’s going to feed it?

When the few of them went to the table to eat, the old man frowned when he saw the dishes today. Although he wasn’t a picky eater, there were always dishes that he didn’t really like.

Jiang Jinshang’s gaze fell on the beef and carrot soup, but his expression didn’t change.

However, Tang Wan was considerate enough to fill a bowl of soup for him and Old Master Tang. He stared at the carrot and didn’t say anything.

“The soup has been stewed for a long time. The beef is tender and tasty. Fifth Master, try it,” Tang Wan said with a smile. At this moment, she had no idea that Jiang Jinshang didn’t like carrots.

The bodyguards stood at the side and stifled their laughter.

Well, well, well. How the tables have turned.

“Okay.” Jiang Jinshang ate a few mouthfuls. He didn’t chew and almost swallowed it raw. His expression was a little tragic.

“How does it taste?” Tang Wan smiled.

“It’s pretty good.”There was no expression on Jiang Jinshang’s face.

“Then drink more. There are plenty of them anyway.”

Jiang Jinshang had eaten more carrots that day than he had in an entire year!

The bodyguards raised their eyes to look at the sky. The weather today was amazing. Even the chirping of birds was so pleasant.

“The thrush chirps so happily today.”

Speaking of which, at the hospital, Zhang Liyun rushed to the hospital to deliver lunch to Tang Mo, only to find that she wasn’t there. “Where is she?”

“She took a call and went out. It seems like it’s someone’s birthday.” The nurse said helplessly. If she insisted on leaving, there was nothing she could do.

Zhang Liyun frowned. She could roughly guess who was asking her out. They were all good-for-nothings. When they gathered together, they were either stuffing themselves with food or drinking. None of them were serious.

She was so angry that she threw the food that had been packed onto the table.

There’s no use teaching that kid!

Back at the Tang family residence.

After lunch, Old Tang went to take a break. Tang Wan and Jiang Jinshang had just been chatting last night. They were talking about serious stuff. Jiang Jinshang had introduced her to a few books. She went out in the morning and went to the bookstore.

“Ms. Tang, we’ll carry these books for you.” The bodyguards were observant. They had to curry favor with her.

“Thank you, then.” There were many books. Tang Wan probably had to make two or three trips back and forth by herself, so she gladly accepted the help.

After moving the book back to the room, Tang Wan politely thanked them. Naturally, she also had to say to Jiang Jinshang, “Thank you for recommending these books.”

“Grandpa Tang was chatting with you today. Was it because of what I said that made him misunderstand?” Jiang Jinshang asked straightforwardly.

“He’s just like that. Don’t take it to heart.”

“I don’t care. Just don’t take it to heart.”

“What do I care? We didn’t do anything shameful…”

“Do you have plans tonight?”

“Nothing. I’m just reading.” Tang Wan was really fine. She thought Jiang Jinshang had something to do. “Do you have something to do?”

“I still have a lot of things to tell you last night. Tonight…” the two of them stood facing each other, not far from each other. He stared at her. His cold white skin made his pupils look as dark as ink.

“Are you still coming?”

The bodyguards were putting away their books according to Tang Wan’s instructions. When they heard this, they were already expressionless.

Tang Wan thought that he had some sort of arrangement to ask her for help. She didn’t expect him to ask her to go to his room.

She had just finished saying that she didn’t care about other people’s opinions and nonsense. She also said that she didn’t have any plans for tonight, so there was no way for her to reject him now. “Then we’ll see when the time comes.”

Her heart was racing as she thought about how she could reject him.

However, Jiang Jinshang only smiled and said, “Then… Tonight, I’ll be waiting.”

He was good-looking, and his smile was even more pleasing to the eye. Tang Wan was a little absent-minded as she looked at him. Her heart was beating fast, and the tips of her ears were slightly red.

Tang Wan sat in a chair and stared at the mint on the table in a daze. Her phone vibrated. She glanced at the caller ID and immediately straightened up. “Hello, Auntie –“

“Wan Wan, I hope I’m not disturbing you.” It was Mrs. Jiang who called.

“No.”

Ever since they got Tang Wan’s phone call, the two of them had been in constant contact.

“Did you make the beef and carrot soup that I told you about yesterday?”

“Yes, Fifth Master drank two bowls.”

“I told you, he likes it.”

Tang Wan didn’t know Jiang Jinshang’s preferences, and as he was also a patient, so she asked Mrs. Jiang.

After Mrs. Jiang hung up the phone, she was grinning from ear to ear.

“This kid is so arrogant at home. I didn’t expect him to be a hooligan. He even cured his picky eating problem in the Tang family.”

The big brother raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had already seen through something.

It was probably not the Tang family that cured him of his picky eating, but a certain person.

Jiang Jinshang didn’t know that the person who tricked him wasn’t Tang Wan at all, but his own mother!
