Chapter 489: After going out to the banquet, will the disabled but determined Jiang Wuye post a second update? (2nd update)_2
Her fingers had just co out of the cold water, the tips still cool, when she touched his abdon, causing his body to stiffen instinctively with a shiver, which made Tang Wan chuckle.
“Are my hands too cold?”
“It’s okay.”
After Tang Wan left, it was always him who applied the dicine himself, and certainly, it felt different.
“By the way, is Big Brother Huo really going to treat us to dinner tomorrow?” Tang Wan lowered her head, seriously applying the ointnt.
“Mm, he doesn’t have your contact information.”
“So, can you go out tomorrow?” Tang Wan looked up at him with a small face since Jiang Jinsang had not left the Jiang Family’s house since his hospital discharge.
Jiang Jinsang stared at her and beckoned with his finger.
“What is it? If you have sothing to say, just say it.” Tang Wan’s hands were covered in ointnt, making it inconvenient for her to move any closer.
“It’s hard to talk; co closer…” Even breathing could pull at his wound, indeed uncomfortable. Tang Wan, half believing and half doubtful, moved closer to him. But just as she got near, Jiang Jinsang pulled on her arm and pecked her on the face.
The man must be crazy, just after she had applied the ointnt, and now it must have gotten all over him.
Tang Wan stared at him in disbelief.
With a hint of accusation:
The ointnt got all over her clothes, ruining all her careful application.
Jiang Jinsang seed to understand her look, lazily smiling with a deep and soothing voice:
“I’ve missed you since you’ve been gone for so long, I just couldn’t help myself just now.”
He knew just what sweet nothings to say, and what girl doesn’t like to hear them. Besides, he was sick, so Tang Wan didn’t feel it was appropriate to say anything else but sighed…
He was unabashedly honest in his confession, causing Tang Wan’s face to flush slightly. Ever since his surgery was successful, this man had beco increasingly shaless.
After much difficulty, she had finally finished applying the ointnt to him. He dressed himself while Tang Wan went to wash her hands. Then she returned to his room to fetch sothing for him.
“I brought you so snacks from Yiyu Tea House, so of your favorites.” Tang Wan placed the pastries in his room.
“Is there anything else besides this?”
“What else?” Tang Wan raised an eyebrow.
“Never mind.”
Later in the night, lying in bed, Jiang Jinsang frowned slightly: Could it be the household register wasn’t brought back? Or was it returned?

The next day, in a private club in Beijing
Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang arrived on ti for the appointnt. Qi Zeyan almost burst into laughter upon seeing soone coming in a wheelchair.
“Jiang Xiaowu, is this really necessary? You didn’t hurt your leg, so why do you need to use a wheelchair to go out?”
Jiang Jinsang remained silent. There’s a kind of love called “your grandmother thinks you can’t walk.”
When the old lady learned they were going out, afraid that her grandson would get tired or lack the strength, she insisted he take a wheelchair with him. She even had her driver follow them closely, needing to see him seated in the wheelchair before allowing it.
Otherwise, he wasn’t permitted to leave the house.
Jiang Jinsang had no choice but to sit in the wheelchair.
“Wanwan.” Ruan ngxi ca over from one side and hugged her arm.
“You’re here too?” Tang Wan was surprised. It was a private gathering and ordinarily Qi Zeyan wouldn’t bring an assistant.
Her gaze fleetingly swept the room: so people she didn’t recognize were inside beside Jiang Chengsi and the Xie siblings.
Previously, to avoid Xie Tongtong, Qi Zeyan had pretended to be in a relationship with Ruan ngxi. And now that they had arrived, although Xie Tongtong hadn’t said a word, both Qi Zeyan and Ruan ngxi felt sowhat embarrassed and awkwardly sat down.
Until Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang arrived, it was as if they had seen their saviors.
It was supposed to make up for their engagent party that he did not attend, but at the end of the day, it was just a small private gathering among friends.
Tang Wan initially thought she would know everyone there, but there were quite a few unfamiliar faces, seated in pairs or small groups, creating an indescribable atmosphere.
“What’s up with Old Huo? When did he start knowing the Xie family?” Qi Zeyan couldn’t believe he would encounter Xie Tongtong here, and after what had happened before, he naturally felt a bit guilty.
The Xie Family was an old scholarly family, and there was no connection between the two families.
“How would I know?” Jiang Jinsang just wanted to get so fresh air.
Jiang Chengsi, who was sitting on the side, had just finished a ga and looked towards them. “I asked Xie Duo earlier, and he received a call out of the blue—was also invited without any idea why…”
“The main thing is that his invitations are hard to refuse by anyone in Beijing.”
“Even if Xie Duo doesn’t know him, he wouldn’t dare to decline, and he was specifically instructed to bring Xie Tongtong along. So, what is Old Huo really up to?”
Qi Zeyan frowned, “I’ve got a bold idea… Maybe Old Huo is…”
He glanced at Xie Tongtong; well-educated, completely out of sync with the Huo Family’s style, but maybe soone found her novelty appealing and suddenly developed a taste for it.
“He’s not eting Xie Tongtong for the first ti, how could that be!” Just as the thought erged, it was cut off by Jiang Chengsi. “Moreover, the people invited today are all strange. I asked two people, and they also received sudden invitations…”
Invitations from the Huo Family of Hexi were rarely refused by anyone.
Jiang Jinsang adjusted the thin blanket on his lap, “We’ll know when he cos over.”
…
Soon, the person in question arrived. As the host, he should’ve made introductions or ward up the gathering, but he just sat there without saying a word.
It left everyone feeling a bit stifled.
What exactly was this gathering for?
Yet with his stern face and a chilling aura, no one dared to approach him and ask what he was up to.
As he passed by Jiang Jinsang, he looked down at the wheelchair and said sothing:
“Coming to a gathering in a wheelchair is… rather…”
“Perseverant despite being disabled.”
Qi Zeyan held back his laughter: With your talent for talking, why not say a little more?
Jiang Jinsang silently pursed his lips. It was just a small tease in the hospital last ti; soone really holds a grudge. If you’re so capable, then be like this your entire life, invincible without any weaknesses.
