Chapter 124: Aunt Flo’s assist, flirting from early morning Chapter 124: Aunt Flo’s assist, flirting from early morning The next day, under the warm sun of winter, everything was frost-laden.
Tang Wan woke up feeling feverish and hungover, her muscles sore and swollen, even her eyes stung.
mories of last night flooded in—drinking, going ho. In a haze, she seed to have seen her mother, and Jiang Jinsang was there too, and they seed to have…
[Because I liked you, I kissed you.]
Her mind exploded in that instant. Subconsciously, she touched the corner of her lips. Various mories, real and imagined, interwove, and she could hardly distinguish whether what had happened yesterday was real.
She kept thinking, her fingers pressing on her lips, but it felt as though they had turned into sothing much softer.
Warm and soft.
Pecking at the edge of her lips, that warmth swiftly spread throughout her limbs, her heartbeat suddenly erratic, her whole body growing hot, her entire face burning red.
It must have been a dream, impossible!
She and Jiang Jinsang…
How could it be!
Last night she had even dread of her mother and grandmother, asking her if she was comfortable and telling her to drink less. That Jiang Jinsang must have been just a dream, too.
She propped herself up with her hands and shifted her body. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a piece of paper under the cup on the bedside table, alongside an opened box of dicine and a thermoter.
Clearly recorded there were notes about administering dicine, taking temperatures, and other care tips for fever.
These were notes Jiang Jinsang had made on paper after consulting Zhou Zhongqing last night, worried he might forget.
Wild, unrestrained, spirited.
Having once studied Jiang Jinsang’s clan history, she recognized his handwriting. She could now be sure that Jiang Jinsang had indeed co over last night, but what happened afterward, whether it was real or not, she simply couldn’t determine.

Having gone to bed late, Tang Wan went to the front hall to find that the two old gentlen had gone to the park to practice Tai Chi, Tang Yunxian had gone to the company, Shen Shuci was playing Go with Jiangjiang, and Jiang Jinsang…
He was playing with a bird.
“Sis!” Jiangjiang was the first to spot her. “Are you sick? Are you feeling better now?”
There was no hiding Tang Wan’s illness—Jiang Jinsang had only ntioned the fever had subsided, not that he had stayed all night in her room.
Early in the morning, Tang Yunxian and the two old gentlen had successively checked in on Tang Wan’s room to make sure she was unhard before they each hurried off to their activities.
Her room showed no signs of the ordinary; Jiang Jinsang hadn’t ntioned staying up all night, only that he had helped out a bit—everyone assud he probably just fetched her dicine and water without giving it much thought.
“Yeah, it’s nothing.”
“I see you look quite pale; maybe you should go to the hospital for another check-up,” Shen Shuci walked over and felt her forehead to make sure it was normal before he felt a bit relieved.
“It’s really nothing, don’t worry.” Tang Wan smiled at her, then turned to Jiang Jinsang, “Big Brother Five, was it you who took care of last night? I saw the note you left by my bed.”
“Yes.” Jiang Jinsang was still thinking that after last night’s kisses, their relationship might have taken a great leap forward.
Unexpectedly, Tang Wan politely smiled at him, “Thank you.”
Then…
She turned her head, raised her hand, tidied Hua i’s feathers, and went back inside, proclaiming she was hungry and wanted breakfast.
Jiang Jinsang: …
In fact, Tang Wan rembered those kisses, but she was feverish and in a haze—not knowing if this was today or another day, nor if it was real, and she couldn’t just rashly ask him.
[Did we kiss last night?]
Could she really say that?
If it had all been in her head and had never happened, what would Jiang Jinsang think of her? Dreaming in her sleep of doing such things with him?
Too shaful!
So, after much thought, Tang Wan decided to play dead for now.

After breakfast, Tang Wan planned to cook lunch herself and invited Shen Shuci to go to the supermarket and the market.
“I need to adjust my jet lag; I’m not going,” Shen Shuci had hardly slept last night. She had intended to see if Tang Wan had any feelings for Jiang Jinsang, but it had all gone awry, inadvertently putting her niece right into the tiger’s den.
Although Jiang Jinsang had promised not to do anything, Tang Wan was still ill—and with just the two of them alone, she couldn’t be at ease.
She’d text every hour to check!
Both being won, whether Tang Wan harbored any special feelings for Jiang Jinsang was uncertain for Shen Shuci, but she was sure that in Tang Wan’s heart, he was definitely special.
“Auntie, are you really not going?” Tang Wan asked.
Shen Shuci rubbed her neck, “I’ve been so tired recently; I haven’t had the energy. I estimate I’ll fall asleep in the car and won’t be able to help you. Why don’t you ask Big Brother Five to go with you? After all, he’s a man, and he can carry things for you.”
“Big… Brother Five?” Although Tang Wan had planned to feign ignorance with him, the thought of being alone with him still made her feel awkward.
