Chapter 120 The Crown Prince's First Meeting with Jiang Wan's Parents
Jiang Wan could no longer suppress her smile and burst into laughter.
In my lifetime, I actually got to hear the young master bark like a dog?
Does anyone know?
It's really hard not to laugh!
Just thinking about how aloof and sharp-tongued he used to be...
Jiang Wan felt completely refreshed!
For the first time, Shang Shixu blushed with embarrassment.
Looking at the smiling little liar in front of me.
Enraged, he bit her earlobe, grinding his teeth against it with force.
Jiang Wan's smile vanished instantly.
"Don't bite!"
The man turned a deaf ear.
Jiang Wan tried to free her ears, but as soon as she raised her hand, he grabbed it.
Both arms were restrained at the sides.
He held her tightly, his palm pressing against her sensitive lower back.
...kneading.
After Jiang Wan let out an "Ah," she almost lost her footing due to the double stimulus.
She could only beg for mercy by acting cute.
"elder brother......"
"I'll never laugh at you again..."
"Please, let me go...please..."
Hearing her pleading, Shang Shixu stopped what he was doing.
His gaze was deep and unfathomable, looking straight into Jiang Wan's eyes.
"Do you dare make me bark like a dog again?"
Jiang Wan shook her head like a rattle drum.
Dare not dare.
If we let him learn again, we'll have to sacrifice ourselves.
Shang Shixu was very satisfied and reached out to pinch her little cheek.
"I'll take you home in a bit. I need to go back to the city to take care of some things. I'll pick you up tomorrow at noon."
"Remember to tell your parents that you won't be coming home tomorrow night."
Jiang Wan raised her voice, "Does it need to be kept overnight?"
Shang Shixu raised an eyebrow.
"The hot spring resort is far from here, so of course we'll stay there for the night before we leave."
Jiang Wan gripped the hem of her skirt, her expression hesitant.
Shang Shixu knew what she was worried about, and gently hooked her chin with his fingertips.
"Don't worry, I won't force you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan relaxed her shoulders.
She will realize tomorrow night that she was naive after all.
The unspoken implication of Shang Shixu's words was that he would never force anyone to take the final step.
But apart from this step, everything else... is fine.
Clearly, Jiang Wan hadn't considered this.
Ten minutes later, we checked out.
Shang Shixu escorted Jiang Wan home.
On the way, Jiang Wan suddenly thought of something.
She glanced sideways at the man in the driver's seat.
"By the way, did you tell Di Wenjun and Sister Xiaomeng about what happened between you and me?"
Shang Shixu: "Not yet."
Jiang Wan seemed to understand something, "Then they will be very surprised to see us together tomorrow."
"After all, in their eyes, we're not familiar at all."
Shang Shixu tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips.
"Then I'll keep it from them for now."
"Let's see how they react tomorrow."
Jiang Wan smiled slightly.
Well, she was quite curious too.

At five o'clock in the evening, Jiang Wan said goodbye to Shang Shixu and returned home.
No one is home.
My parents must be at the store, and my younger brother should go help out too.
Jiang Wan planned to rest for a while, change her clothes, and then go over.
She held her phone and called Gu Manning.
The phone rang three times before being answered.
"Wanwan."
Gu Manning's voice came out, amidst a noisy background.
Probably in an entertainment venue.
Jiang Wan asked her, "Are you free now? I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Yes, wait a moment."
Gu Manning's voice came through the phone, speaking in English.
After about ten seconds, the noisy background noise disappeared.
"Okay, I'm in the hallway now, go ahead."
Jiang Wan's opening remarks were like a bombshell.
"Shang Shixu knows about our deception."
"What did you say?!" Gu Manning exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Wan continued to explain.
"You heard me right, he knows everything."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Gu Manning's urgent voice rang out.
"What did he say? Did he make things difficult for you?"
"no."
He confessed his feelings to me, and I agreed to date him.
There was silence on the other end of the phone again.
Gu Manning's voice was filled with disbelief, "You two are dating?"
Jiang Wan hummed in agreement.
Gu Manning sighed.
"Oh My God......"
"I've only been gone for three days, and such a big thing has happened."
Gu Manning let out a breath. "Did you agree to date him because you were threatened or did you do it willingly?"
"Voluntary."
Jiang Wan's ears felt a little hot.
Hearing that it was voluntary, Gu Manning felt relieved, and joy immediately spread across her face.
"Wanwan, you're so charming!"
"I never imagined that Shang Shixu actually likes you!"
Jiang Wan felt embarrassed by what she said.
Actually, she was a little confused too.
She doesn't consider herself that charming.
She never dared to imagine that Shang Shixu would actually like her.
But that's how it happened, and she had no choice but to believe it.
Gu Manning's excitement subsided a bit, and her tone became somewhat hesitant.
"Did he say he was going to get back at me?"
Jiang Wan teased her, "Guess?"
Gu Manning: "If you ask me to guess, of course I'd like him to forgive and forget."
Jiang Wan smiled slightly. "Then you guessed right."
"real?!"
"Wanwan, thank you so much!"
"I know it's definitely because of you that Shang Shixu is being so agreeable."
Jiang Wan refused to be sentimental.
"Alright, enjoy your vacation."
"Let's talk again when we get back."
"Great, great, now I can finally play freely."
"Be careful," Jiang Wan instructed.
"Don't worry, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back."
Jiang Wan hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
This matter has finally come to a new end.

10 PM.
After helping out, Jiang Wan went home early to wash up.
After getting into bed, she idly opened Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social networking site).
Upon opening, a familiar account appeared on the recommended page.
I just watched it last night—
"I am Teacher Bai Mu's dog."
A fan of that genius painter.
She posted a new status update today, which included a link.
Jiang Wan clicked on it and saw a job posting from a company called "Escape from the Human World Studio".
We are hiring an assistant painter.
Applicants should possess strong writing skills, a passion for art, and a high degree of empathy.
Specific job duties: Writing reflections on the works of painters.
Flexible working hours.
Jiang Wan glanced at the line for salary and compensation.
Monthly salary of 18,000.
I'm so tempted.
She resigned from her job at Yunshang Club in June.
I'm staying home during summer vacation, and the only part-time job I can currently do to earn money is as a gaming companion.
I've never written about artworks before, but everyone has to do it at least once.
She majored in Chinese literature and has good writing skills.
As for a love of art and a strong capacity for empathy, Jiang Wan feels that she barely meets the criteria.
In short, she was attracted by the flexible working hours and the monthly salary of 18,000 yuan.
Whether it works or not, I have to send out my resume and give it a try.
Jiang Wan sent her resume directly to the email address provided.
After finishing, Shang Shixu and I said goodnight to each other.
I was thinking of watching some short videos and then going to sleep.
Before I knew it, it was past midnight.
Her eyelids started to droop, so she quickly turned off her phone and went to sleep.

The next day, at 8:00 AM.
Jiang Wan was awakened by her mother's knocking on the door.
"Wanwan, get up and eat."
"Okay, Mom."
Jiang Wan yawned, picked up her phone, and sent Shang Shixu a good morning greeting.
Jiang Wan: [Good morning, brother]
After sending the message, I put down my phone and slowly sat up.
After getting out of bed, I received a reply on my phone.
Business Timeline: [Just finished my morning run, now taking a shower]
Attached is a photo taken in front of a mirror.
Jiang Wan opened the larger image.
The man was shirtless, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and smooth lines.
It looks like it has a lot of explosive power.
The memory of him kissing me so hard yesterday has resurfaced.
Jiang Wan's face flushed.
I'm going to wash up now, see you at noon!
*
After lunch, Jiang Wan packed her things and waited for Shang Shixu to arrive.
My younger brother went to a classmate's house to play video games.
Mom and Dad went out to buy watermelons.
At 1 p.m., Shang Shixu arrived downstairs in the residential complex.
After sending a message to Jiang Wan, he leaned against the car door and waited.
Upon receiving the message, Jiang Wan slung her bag over her shoulder and headed out.
Downstairs, Jiang Baishan rode his electric bike, carrying Xigua and Fang Ru, past the black Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
A motorcycle suddenly sped out from behind, startling Jiang Baishan so much that he swerved the handlebars.
With a "thud," it crashed into the rear of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
Hearing the commotion, Shang Shixu looked over and his gaze sharpened.
— Jiang Wan's parents.
Jiang Baishan applied the brakes in time, and neither he nor Fang Ru were hurt.
The watermelon that Fang Ru was holding was also fine.
Only the rear of the G-Class had a small dent.
The two quickly got out of the car to deal with the accident.
Upon seeing the car owner, I felt the same way.
—This young man is really handsome!
Jiang Baishan: "Young man, take a look at the damage to your car. How much do I have to pay you?"
Shang Shixu: "It's a minor issue, no need to pay compensation."
One party wants to pay compensation, while the other doesn't.
Fang Ru suggested giving the watermelon to Shang Shixu as a thank-you gift.
Do not use the time sequence.
The three of them started tearing apart the watermelon.
Jiang Wan walked out of the residential area: =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)!!!
