Chapter 145 Cousin, Long Time No See
The private room erupted in chaos.
Pei Heyun stood up, clapped, and let out a howl.
He can yell as much as he wants, but that doesn't stop him from venting.
Dude, that was some really cool moves.
Take the opportunity to trick Maruko into drinking a cross-cupped wine!
Tao Mengshu stared wide-eyed, deeply shocked.
Oh, I see.
Di Wenjun put his arm around her waist, "Let's drink the nuptial wine later."
Tao Mengshu snapped out of her daze, "Who wants to drink with you?"
He spoke with disdain, but his eyes held a smile.
Gu Manning stood aside, watching the two people drinking and entwined in front of her, and smiled like an aunt.
Well, it's only interesting to watch other people date!
Jiang Wan's face flushed red as she quickly withdrew her hand and sat down after finishing her drink.
Ignoring her racing heart, she used a fork to pick up a shrimp ball and stuff it into her mouth.
Chew, chew, chew~
Shang Shixu sat down next to her, staring at her chubby cheeks, resisting the urge to take a bite.
He reached out and pinched her bright red earlobe, but before he could even caress it, it was slapped off with a "smack".
Jiang Wan slapped his hand away and immediately moved closer to Gu Manning.
The movement was so large that he almost sat on Gu Manning's lap.
Shang Shixu reacted quickly, grabbing her arm and pulling her back.
"Don't move, I'm not teasing you anymore."
Hearing this, Jiang Wan's wildly beating heart finally calmed down a little.
Shang Shixu turned around to drink with his brothers, while Tao Mengshu walked over and rejoined Jiang Wan and Gu Manning.
The two groups each chatted about their own things.
On the boys' side, the three clinked their glasses, and Pei Heyun clicked his tongue twice.
"Brother Xu, you're so flamboyant!"
Shang Shixu raised an eyebrow. "What do you know, you single dog?"
Pei Heyun choked, then glared at him defiantly, "You wait, I'll meet my true love someday!"
A good match may be late, but it will never be absent.
He believed that his perfect match would surely come.
The atmosphere in the private room was relaxed and lively, and the party lasted until after 10 p.m.
Everyone had been drinking, so they all called for their drivers.
At the entrance of the club, Gu Manning hugged Jiang Wan. The alcohol made her a little sentimental.
"Thank you, Wanwan."
Jiang Wan patted her on the back, "Go back and get a good night's sleep."
"it is good."
Gu Manning was helped away by her assistant.
Di Wenjun, Tao Mengshu, and Pei Heyun also left one after another.
Shang Shixu picked up Jiang Wan's bag, took her hand, and said, "Let's go."
Back at the apartment, Jiang Wan took a shower first.
When she came out, Shang Shixu was wearing pearly white loungewear and sitting on the sofa.
Two long legs were casually crossed, with a laptop on top, indicating that he was busy.
The silver-rimmed glasses added a touch of asceticism to his unrestrained demeanor.
After secretly admiring the view, Jiang Wan prepared to slip into the bedroom.
The man reached out and beckoned to her.
"come over."
Jiang Wan paused, walked towards him, and stood beside the sofa.
The next second, he was grabbed by the neck and pulled down.
The man took her lips into his mouth.
He pressed his tongue inside, entwining it with hers and sucking hard.
"Hmm..."
He gave her a quick kiss and released her.
"Go to sleep first, I still have some work to do."
The man spoke with a straight face, showing no trace of his previous lustful demeanor.
After Jiang Wan hummed in agreement, she disappeared in a flash.
Close the door and take a deep breath to calm your racing heart.
It was past midnight.
After washing up, Shang Shixu went into the bedroom.
The "little mouse" on the bed was sleeping soundly.
Shang Shixu reached out and pulled her closer to him, as if her body had found its own heart.
In the darkness, they slept in each other's arms.
*
The next day.
What woke them up wasn't the sun, but their cell phone ringing.
Shang Shixu reached for his phone, glanced at the screen, and answered the call.
"mom."
Qiao Lan's cheerful voice came through the receiver.
"Son, come home for lunch."
"Your second uncle brought your cousin over, let's have a family get-together."
Shang Shixu raised an eyelid and asked, "My dad's back from out of town?"
"It arrived last night."
"it is good."
Qiao Lan, still worried, gave her a final word of advice: "I'm telling you, don't be sarcastic when you meet your cousin."
"They don't like socializing and can't keep up with what you're saying."
Shang Shixu gave a helpless twitch of his lips. "I understand."
"That's all for now, come back early at noon."
"Um."
Shang Shixu put the phone back on the bedside table.
Jiang Wan shifted her body, squinted, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shang Shixu ruffled her hair. "It's nothing, I just need to go home for lunch. My second uncle and cousin are coming."
"Cousin?"
"You have a cousin?"
"Um."
"I've never heard you mention this before."
"Because we don't interact much."
Hearing him say that, Jiang Wan didn't ask any more questions and got up to wash up.
Shang Shixu called to order breakfast at a nearby restaurant.
When Jiang Wan came out of the bathroom, a delicious breakfast was already laid out on the dining table.
She smiled slightly, sat down, and started eating.
A short while later, Shang Shixu also came out after washing up and sat down opposite her.
Jiang Wan peeled a tea egg and put it on his plate.
"Brother, here you go."
Shang Shixu's lips curled slightly, and he said smugly, "Not bad, you know how to serve your master."
"make persistent efforts."
Jiang Wan immediately picked up the tea egg with a fork and put it on her plate.
Business sequence: ......
Jiang Wan cut open the tea egg, picked up a small piece with chopsticks, and put it in her mouth.
The young master's resentful voice drifted from across the street.
"Peel one more for me."
"don't want."
She refused decisively.
"Wanbao~"
The man's rising intonation at the end of his voice carried a hint of aggrieved coquetry.
Jiang Wan almost dropped her chopsticks when she looked up.
Those smoky gray pupils radiated a burning light, making her skin crawl.
"Okay, okay~ I'll peel it for you."
Shang Shixu revealed a triumphant smile.
You think I can't handle you, little brat?
......
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Wan went to the living room.
He took out a sketchbook and a notebook from the bag.
Shang Shixu's gaze swept over the picture book, his expression darkening. "Are we going to continue writing today?"
"Yes, it wasn't finished yesterday."
"What are the plans for this afternoon?"
"I need to deliver the things this afternoon, and then take a car home."
"Going back this afternoon?"
Jiang Wan nodded and explained.
"The art exhibition is over this month. I've been staying away from home for a few days now, and my parents will start to worry if I don't go back soon."
Shang Shixu felt a tightness in his chest after listening to it.
He also wanted to hold her while he slept.
But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't stop herself from going home.
Only by becoming husband and wife can they live together legitimately.
He secretly began to make his own plans.
He will propose to Jiang Wan as soon as she graduates next year.
......
11:00 AM.
Jiang Wan was sitting in the living room, still writing.
Shang Shixu changed his clothes in the dressing room and came out.
He entered the living room, pinched her cheek, and said, "I'm leaving."
Jiang Wan looked up at him and said, "Brother, be careful."
"it is good."
Shang Shixu walked to the door, then stopped and turned back to look at her.
Eat a good lunch.
"Okay."
The door closed, and Jiang Wan continued working.
*
Merchant's villa.
As Shang Shixu entered the room, he heard voices coming from the living room.
He continued walking in and soon saw people.
Grandpa sat on the main sofa, Mom and Dad sat on one side, and Uncle Shang Chengyi sat on the other side.
And his son, Shang Yubai.
The other person was dressed simply, with their arm in a cast.
His thin frame made him look like he hadn't eaten.
She still has a reserved demeanor, but she's a bit more mature than she was a few years ago.
"Time has returned."
"You've finally graduated!"
Upon seeing his nephew, Shang Chengyi stood up to give him a hug, like an elder would to a younger person.
"Second Uncle."
After Shang Shixu called out to everyone, she hugged him.
Shang Chengyi patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, "As expected of the heir of our Shang family, you manage to balance your studies and work perfectly."
"We've done a great job expanding into overseas markets over the past two years."
Shang Shixu chuckled, "Second Uncle, you flatter me."
After speaking, his gaze fell on Shang Yubai.
"Cousin, it's been a long time."
