Chapter 227: 168 Even more charming when drunk, the Xie Family visits (2 updates)
During this round of drinks, led by the elders, everyone was brimming with joy, but Tang Yunxian ultimately got himself drunk.
“Yunxian, you’ve had too much to drink,” said the old lady, eyeing him.
“I’m happy because Father has been discharged,” replied Tang Yunxian, clearly drunk, but not to the point of unconsciousness.
Tang’s father laughed and said, “Mainly, it’s because Wanwan has found herself a prospect. She and Xiaowu are dating, and we feel reassured. With the double celebration, as a father, he’s certainly even happier.”
After his daughter had taken a stab, his father followed with another jab, leaving Tang Yunxian with no choice but to smile wryly.
In such a situation and at such an event, what more could he say?
Jiang Jinsang’s actions these past few days had all been observed by him, acknowledging that the child was a good one, and since his daughter liked him, it wasn’t possible for him to be the villain breaking up a match. However bitter he felt, it all turned into liquor that he could only swallow down into his stomach.
Later on, Jiang Jinsang blocked a few drinks for him, and Tang Yunxian didn’t utter a word.
His expression was a clear ssage:
Don’t think that just because you’ve blocked a few drinks for , I’ll start seeing you as a good guy!
This kind of tension between a father-in-law and his son-in-law is quite common at the beginning.
…
But in the end, Tang Yunxian was helped into the car by the Jiang brothers, and upon returning ho and lying on his bed, he suddenly rembered his late wife, and the feeling in his heart grew even more complicated.
Any father would wish for his daughter to find soone who truly cherishes her. It’s not that Jiang Jinsang isn’t good enough, but as a father, one always feels that no one is quite trustworthy enough for their daughter.
Tang Wan handed him a glass of water, and he took her hand, repeatedly asking if she truly liked Jiang Jinsang and wanted to be with him.
“Dad, how could I joke about such a thing?” If she hadn’t liked him at all, Tang Wan wouldn’t degrade herself.
“I understand…”
“You should rest well. Grandpa has been hospitalized for so long, and you haven’t had a peaceful night’s sleep.”
Tang Yunxian nodded…
After Tang Wan left, he lay on his back staring at the ceiling, thinking about how he ca to get treatnt for his father and ended up losing his daughter, feeling restless and unable to sleep.

Many people had drunk quite a bit today, and although Jiang Jinsang had not drunk earlier, he had a fair amount later on.
After bringing water to her father, Tang Wan went up to the third floor to check on his condition.
Jiang Jinsang was lying on the bed, seemingly fast asleep. She was about to tidy up his blanket when a WeChat voice call ca in.
“Hello, Xixi—” Tang Wan imdiately turned her back to Jiang Jinsang, lowering her voice as she walked to the window to answer the call.
“Grandpa Tang has been discharged, right? It’s too busy to take ti off during workdays, and I didn’t manage to co pick him up.”
“There’s no need for such formalities between us.”
“So, when are you heading back to Pingjiang? I’ll be taking my annual leave in a few days, and if you’re also leaving around then, we could travel together.” Ruan ngxi said with a smile, “I could help look after Grandpa Tang and your uncle on the way.”
“We haven’t decided yet.”
“You’re not planning to stay over for the New Year, are you?” Ruan ngxi’s heart was just beginning to flutter, naturally wanting to stay close to Qi Zeyan to build rapport, but hocoming was essential during the holidays.
“We’re not sure yet. When are you leaving?”
“Next week, I guess.”
“Once you’re ho, I bet your parents will be pushing you to et potential matches.”
“It’s fine; I’ve already told them I’ve found soone I like and am pursuing them.”
“Are you pursuing him?” Tang Wan bit her lip, “He doesn’t like you?” She had an inkling, rembering Assistant Xiaozhu’s recent ntion of not planning to date anyone.
“I don’t know,” sighed Ruan ngxi.
“It’s okay, you’re beautiful, have a pleasant personality, and co from a good family. What’s there to fear?” Tang Wan was mid-sentence when she suddenly heard a rustling noise behind her. Turning around, she bumped straight into Jiang Jinsang’s chest.
Caught off guard by the collision, unable to steady herself, Tang Wan took a step back, only to feel a warm, dry hand on her waist, pulling her tightly into an embrace.
Jiang Jinsang bowed his head, his forehead resting against hers, his features serene, but the alcohol made his throat feel dry and raspy as he said in a low voice,
“Wanwan… I’m especially happy today.”
“Why did you get up?”
Tang Wan’s waist was slender, and he reached around with his arm, encircling her waist and lightly holding her at the side. His fingers were burning hot, and his voice penetrated her eardrums, sinking straight into her heart.
Perhaps prompted by the alcohol, she felt that her whole body, leaning against his, was about to lt.
Jiang Yanting had helped him upstairs and assisted him with removing his clothes. Now, he wore only a shirt, wrinkled from rough handling, with the collar open. At Tang Wan’s height, she could just see his neck and collarbone…
