Chapter 144: 124 This man: his appearance, his build, every bit is tempting. Chapter 144: 124 This man: his appearance, his build, every bit is tempting. Tang Wan arrived on the third floor when Jiang Cuo was standing at the stairwell waiting for her.
“Miss Tang, you’ve arrived,” he said with a smile, his eyes squinting like a fox.
“Did Fifth Brother ask you to wait for ?”
“Yes, Lord is in the innermost room, mainly to take Lord Wansui out for sunbathing. It wouldn’t be appropriate for to enter your bedroom without you.”
Tang Wan nodded, leading him to her room first to fetch Lord Wansui, and couldn’t help but marvel at how well the Jiang Family’s turtle was treated.
Luxurious accommodations, personal care, and even daily sunbathing.
As Tang Wan followed Jiang Cuo to the room at the end of the corridor, the door had just opened, and she was instantly enveloped in warmth.
She was only wearing a thin knitted garnt but felt oppressively hot.
“Lord, Miss Tang is here.” Jiang Cuo said while holding the terrarium, placing it by the window under the sun.
Lord Wansui was sitting on the “beach” within the terrarium, seemingly feeling the sun, stretched out his head, and lazily moved to a new position.
As soon as Tang Wan entered, the tip of her nose filled with warmth, but the sight before her made her feel even hotter…
Jiang Jinsang was wearing a rather loose-fitting tracksuit, black pants, and a white shirt, slow jogging on the treadmill.
From the angle of her entry, she could only see his back, damp with sweat, the shirt translucent and clinging to his skin, revealing the subtle contour of his muscles with his movents.
Jiang Jinsang had turned off the treadmill and looked at her, “What are you doing standing at the door? Co on in.”
Tang Wan nodded, then closed the door. Perhaps because the heating was so high, she inexplicably felt flushed all over.
“If I hadn’t called you up, my grandmother would have dragged you to watch dramas all afternoon,” Jiang Jinsang said with a smile, “The series she watches, you probably wouldn’t like.”
Jiang Jiu was also in the room, quickly handing him a towel.
Tang Wan chuckled in a asured tone, “Not bad.”
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Jiang Jinsang, his hair soaked, sticking to his forehead, casually brushed back, wiping his face with the towel, neck slightly tilted upward, his jawline exceptionally flawless…
His skin, originally a cold pale, had turned rosy with exercise.
Blossoms of March, red after rain, fresh and clean yet rich and penetrating.
Her gaze drifted lower, the clear definition of his lean waist was all the more evident through the completely soaked clothes.
Jiang Jinsang knew Tang Wan was appraising him, still calm as he unscrewed his thermos, warm water gliding down his throat, his Adam’s apple moving subtly, as if sweat beads slid down his neck…
Tang Wan’s gaze followed a droplet sliding down, disappearing into the collar of his white shirt—
“Zila—” It was as if the droplet splashed into a hot wok, sizzling.
It could scald one’s skin numb.
His appearance, his physique… all were undeniably tempting.

The room was quiet; the atmosphere was sowhat stifling. Tang Wan cleared her throat, shifted her gaze, and decided to walk over to the window to look at Lord Wansui sunbathing.
Jiang Cuo and Jiang Jiu had already retreated.
Despite the urge to look, their survival instinct told them it was better to leave sooner rather than later.
It was Tang Wan’s first ti watching a turtle sunbathe, as it moved on the sand, appearing extrely lazy and comfortable.
“Do you really enjoy watching it that much?” Jiang Jinsang had walked over, closer now, his breathing slightly rapid and clearly audible.
Jiang Jinsang watched Lord Wansui intently:
Could it be that he’s less attractive than a turtle?
The room was already hot, and Jiang Jinsang fresh from his workout seed like a heat source, just standing beside her, Tang Wan could feel the heat emanating from his body.
“It’s quite cute,” Tang Wan said in a asured voice, glancing at him from the corner of her eye, “Are you feeling okay? Is it really fine for you to exercise like this?”
“I consulted with Doctor Zhou today, and actually…” Jiang Jinsang chuckled softly, “even more intense exercise should be fine.”
For so inexplicable reason, Tang Wan’s heart constricted suddenly, and she pursed her lips…
She suspected that this man was flirting!
But she had no evidence.
“I didn’t just call you up here because of my grandmother, the main thing is, I wanted to thank you.” Jiang Jinsang turned to her, looking at her earnestly, “If it weren’t for you last night, I might have…”
“It’s nothing, it’s the least I could do.”
After all, since he was thanking her, it was only polite for Tang Wan to look at him. Rarely having the chance to be face to face like this…
It was the first ti she realized how tall Jiang Jinsang was, especially now when he wore only a pair of slippers, reaching just up to his chest.
“Was I very frightening last night?”
“A little, because I have no experience. I wanted to call soone, but you didn’t let go. The thought was sowhat scary, and you were ice-cold…”
