“What did Dr. Zhou say? You’re not having any health issues, are you?” If Jiang Jinsang fell ill, she truly didn’t know how she would explain it to the Jiang Family.
“I’m fine. Did soone give you a hard ti?” Jiang Jinsang turned his head to look at her, naturally referring to He An’s parents.
Tang Wan raised an eyebrow, always feeling like he seed to know everything.
Jiang Jinsang explained, “I saw you going into the elevator with them just now.”
“So you saw. Those were He An’s parents. They hope that I can say a few good words for He An or write a letter of understanding when I testify in court in the future. How would they give a hard ti?” Tang Wan laughed lightly, “It’s just that too many things have happened recently, and I’m a bit tired.”
“Grandfather still doesn’t want to have surgery. At his age, he’s still causing scenes in the hospital.”
“He’s sowhat well-known in Pingjiang, always cherished his reputation. Now that he’s older, he seems to have stopped caring about his image.”
Her arm rested on the window ledge, barely concealing her fatigue.
“Maybe I could talk to Grandpa Tang about his situation and persuade him.”
“He likes you a lot. You might actually be able to make him listen to you.”
Jiang Jinsang pursed his lips, “All the other things are in the past, thinking about them is pointless now.”
“I understand that, it’s just…” So much had happened, to pretend it didn’t affect her would be a lie.
“You think too much, and it’s wearing you out. Maybe I have a way to help you relax.”
“What?” Tang Wan turned to look at him quizzically.
It is human nature to seek knowledge, and seeing him silent made Tang Wan instinctively lean closer, her face skeptical, always feeling like he knew everything, including so effective ways to alleviate fatigue.
She leaned closer still.
And in that electrifying mont,
Jiang Jinsang suddenly reached out with a swift yet gentle movent and embraced her.
Taken aback, like thunder exploding, Tang Wan’s breath deepened, her heartbeat accelerated, thumping so rapidly it felt like pulsating drums in her ears, sending shivers down her spine.
Their clothes rustled softly, and the surrounding air seed to thin, making breathing difficult. The weather was a bit cool, everyone was wearing layers, but vaguely…
Tang Wan felt her limbs heating up with his body temperature.
Her body instinctively struggled.
“Don’t move.” His breath was warm and close.
Like sparks landing on skin, the heat tensed her body.
The sudden tenderness was disarming; Tang Wan stiffened, unsure how to act, only managing to whisper in a hushed voice, “Fifth Master?”
“You’re just too tense, and there’s no one to lean on. Actually…” His voice, already soothing and sweet, flowed into her ears, seemingly searching for a way into the depths of her heart.
“You could try relying more on others.”
His words were tender, laced with a hint of indulgence, as if he were smoothing her ruffled feathers.
The hug lasted only a few seconds. Having said his piece, he let go and looked down at her. “Feel any better now?”
Tang Wan’s face flushed, her heart raced, and her mind was in turmoil.
At this mont, she indeed stopped thinking about all those chaotic matters, because…
Her entire heart and vision were filled with nothing but him.
…
Jiang Cuo and Jiang Jiu were already quite close but were hidden from view. They were completely stunned by the scene.
Such smooth moves! That’s your way of relaxing? Just admit it if you want to take advantage of soone.

The two of them returned to the hospital room one after the other, during the rest period when the hospital was very quiet. Old Tang was wearing reading glasses, reclining and reading a book by the bed, while Jiangjiang was asleep next to him.
“You ca back together?” Old Tang laughed, his smile inscrutable.
“Grandpa, we…”
“Surely just bumped into each other on the way. The Hospital is only so big, I get the picture.” The old man’s laughter was rather unkind.
Wanwan, having already been unsettled by that hug that seed like a simple comfort between friends, was now still so agitated her heart was beating irregularly. Teased by her own grandfather, she felt even more flushed and flustered.
“I’ll go out and get so hot water.” Wanwan said, picking up the thermos and heading outside.
Old Tang put down his book. He also liked to tease at tis, but he hadn’t seen her blush before. Why was she so shy today?
“Old Tang, why don’t you want to have the surgery?” Jinsang asked, as he checked on Jiangjiang’s condition, and tidily tucked in his blanket on the side.
“At my age, I’ve lived enough. Besides, how long I can live is already destined. Surgery can’t guarantee a pain-free life thereafter; I don’t want to suffer through that.”
“I heard from a nurse, it’s highly likely that you’ll need to go out of town for the surgery. What a hassle!” The old man was philosophical about life and death. “I’d suffer, and the children would be burdened with the trouble.”
“So, who sent you to be the persuader?”
“Nobody,” Jinsang chuckled lightly, “You say that, but…”
“Don’t you want to be in good health, to see your granddaughter get married and have children, to see four generations under one roof?”
Old Tang took off his reading glasses and smiled, “What’s the use of just wanting that? You’ve been in Pingjiang for quite so ti now, when are you planning to go back?”
“Do you want to leave?”
“How could that be? I’d be delighted for you to settle down at my place, but that’s just not possible.” He chuckled lightly. “Beijing is far from here. Who knows how long it would be until we et again.”
“Actually, seeing could be quite easy…”
Jinsang, rubbing his fingers, added, “If you agree to the surgery, once you’re in Beijing, you can see whenever you want.”
A spark of sharpness suddenly appeared in Old Tang’s eyes:
Does that an Wanwan and he could still have a chance?
When Tang Wan returned, the old man directly said, “Wanwan, call Doctor Zhou for ; I want to discuss the surgery.”
“You agree?” Tang Wan unconsciously glanced at Jinsang. What on earth had he said to her grandpa that made him agree to the surgery?
Upon receiving the call, Yunxian was overjoyed, “What’s with your grandpa? Why did he suddenly decide on surgery?”
If the old man didn’t agree, Yunxian had truly considered using anesthesia to drag him into the operating room.
“Perhaps Fifth Master Jiang said sothing, I’m not really sure.” Tang Wan was equally baffled.
“Jinsang…” Yunxian frowned.
How could his old man like him so much?
Maybe… tonight I’ll go the Hospital and talk to the old man, and acknowledge him as my godson.

Later in the evening, the Jiang Family called Tang Wan, presumably having heard from Jinsang that the old man might go to Beijing for surgery.
“… You just co over without reservation; say directly if you need any help, don’t be polite with .” The caller was Mrs. Jiang.
“Thank you, Auntie, but there’s nothing we need help with at the mont.”
“You dad will probably have to co over too, right? Where will you stay? Considering the ti before and after surgery, it’s not a short period; you surely can’t all stay in the Hospital the whole ti.”
“We haven’t decided yet. We’ll need to talk it over with my dad before making a decision.”
“Why not just co and stay at our place? We’ve got no one at ho, I’m all alone, and it’s quite lonely!”
“…”
The father and son in the living room each raised an eyebrow: No one at ho? What were they, then?
One of them looked slyly at his father and whispered, “Mom says she’s lonely.”
The man across just raised the corner of his eye and murmured, “Soone who can even lose his wife has the nerve to tease ?”
