Chapter 185: 144 Pork Belly: You Won’t Know How Good Your Body Is Until You Try (3 more updates)
Tang Wan returned to her room to pack her bags, her phone vibrating as she saw the caller ID.
“Are you ho yet?”
“Just got here.”
“Do you have ti tonight? I’d like to treat you and your boyfriend to dinner.”
The two shared a good relationship and communicated promptly about everything. She knew about Tang Wan’s relationship with Jiang Jinsang, but she kept it a well-guarded secret, having not revealed his na or any photos up to now, which naturally piqued her curiosity.
Moreover, as a friend, she was always concerned about her bestie being shortchanged and wanted to see what the man was like.
Tang Wan gripped her phone, “I need to ask him.”
“I’m free today, I’ll wait for your call.”
After hanging up the phone, Tang Wan hesitated and moved the wardrobe that separated the two bedrooms. The temperature in Jiang Jinsang’s room was still set high. He was buttoning up, obviously having just changed his clothes, with his shirt partially open.
She could vaguely see so faint scars from surgery on his body, marks that seed to have been there for a few years.
He didn’t have the so-called six-pack abs, just so muscle lines from regular exercise, pale skin, but not effeminate.
“Is sothing wrong?” Jiang Jinsang raised his hand to close his shirt, continuing to button up without any discomfort.
After all, she would likely see them sooner or later, and it wasn’t a loss to be seen by his wife.
“Sorry, I didn’t know…”
“No problem, I’ll be more careful in the future. You can co over anyti.”
Tang Wan cleared her throat and diverted her gaze from him, “I’m going out to et a friend tonight, would you like to co with?”
“Your bestie?”
Jiang Jinsang was impressed by her, especially since Tang Wan previously didn’t want to enter his room, and they had a mix-up which turned into a joke with the contact na being ‘pork belly,’ making it hard to forget.
“I’ve wanted to et her for a while, but everyone’s been so busy.”
“Have you guys set a ti?”
“No, not yet. I wanted to see if you’d co before we decide where to go.”
“If she lives in a solo district, we can visit her and find a restaurant nearby, so she doesn’t have to run around too much—it’s tough for a girl to do that alone.”
“Let ask her.”
…
Just after Tang Wan had explained the situation over the phone, the other side exploded, “Tang Xiaowan, where did you find such a considerate boyfriend!”
“Then we’ll co to you.”

To dodge the evening rush hour in Beijing, Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan left ho early.
“Seeing a friend and not coming back for dinner?” The old lady was overjoyed upon hearing this; she preferred they didn’t co back at night.
“Right, we’ll be leaving now,” Jiang Jinsang said, skillfully pulling Tang Wan by the hand as they left.
The old lady fidgeted with her cane, casting a sidelong glance at Jiang Yanting who was nearby, “This elder brother really sets no good example, so worrying.”
Jiang Yanting sat by the side, indifferent to such jabs, engrossed in his phone.
It took about an hour’s drive for Tang Wan to reach the restaurant, where they had booked beforehand. The server led them inside.
“Has anyone arrived yet?” Tang Wan inquired.
“Yes, a young lady, she also just got here.”
As they pushed the door open, Jiang Jinsang being taller, he glanced over Tang Wan and saw the person inside.
She was resting her chin on her hands while playing with her phone, the setting sun casting a soft glow on her through the window. Dressed in a simple round-neck sweater and wide-legged trousers, she looked conservative yet chic, bright but not vulgar.
“You guys are here,” she stood up and smiled at them.
No bloom in full flush could emulate such a color.
“Let introduce, this is Ruan ngxi, and this is my…” Tang Wan was bringing her boyfriend out for the first ti, and her words felt awkward and stiff, “my boyfriend, Jiang Jinsang.”
“Hello.” Ruan ngxi, having entered the workforce and lately being around Qi Zeyan, had quickly learned to read people well.
Not harsh, but accurate.
The man was good in all aspects…but seed a bit too thin.
Compared to her ten years ago…
He probably wasn’t as robust as she was!
After all, the nickna ‘pork belly’ wasn’t for nothing, she used to be really quite plump.
“Hello.” Jiang Jinsang was also sizing her up, as soone’s deanor and speech reflect their personality. Maintaining a relationship with a best friend who might not be likable was essential, “This is a little gift we brought for you.”
“This…” Ruan ngxi chuckled, “I didn’t prepare anything, I’m really sorry.”
“No worries, let’s have a seat.”
At a square table, though Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang would normally sit on one side, he directly seated Tang Wan and Ruan ngxi together, “It’s been a long ti since you two t, you must have a lot to talk about.”
