Chapter 97 Set up a trap!
continue?!
Jiang Wan's steady heartbeat suddenly became erratic.
He truly admired this young master.
I don't like "her face," but I like her body.
He has mastered the art of split personality to an unparalleled degree.
Despite her complaints, Jiang Wan was still grateful for his split personality.
At the very least, it will reduce the need for brainstorming.
Jiang Wan took a deep breath and calmed her heartbeat.
As my rationality returned, I realized that my previous analysis was correct.
The last time he kissed her while her face was covered, he forcibly kissed her.
They claim they don't mind allergies.
Now that he's shown his face, he's directly expressing his dislike.
But as long as he doesn't look at her face, he can still kiss her.
It was obvious that he only had physical attraction to her.
That would be best.
He's currently caught up in the novelty and is in high spirits.
Just as Feiyan said before.
It works quickly, but it's just a short-term dopamine booster.
Ignoring the heaviness in her chest, Jiang Wan opened the input box.
Looking at the words "Continue tomorrow night," I didn't know what to reply.
So I copied him and replied with a period.
Nice Rabbit Squid: [。]
Three seconds later.
Lie: [Scholarly Little Toad]
Jiang Wan was not to be outdone.
Nice Rabbit Squid: [A reserved, brooding white goose]
Lie: [Am I a closet pervert?]
Nice Rabbit Squid: [Aren't you secretly a little flirtatious?]
Lie: [Tell me your thoughts]
Nice Rabbit Squid: [I won't say]
Presidential Suite.
Shang Shixu was both angry and amused.
Tap with your fingertips—
Lie: [You just wait]
Lie: [From now on, I'll be openly flirtatious]
Jiang Wan: "..."

Inside a luxury apartment.
Tao Mengshu nestled on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in her hand.
Her long hair was loose over her shoulders, and she was wearing a sexy red nightgown.
Di Wenjun walked out of the bathroom with wet hair.
The white bathrobe was casually tied in a knot, revealing a strong, wheat-colored chest.
He plopped down on the sofa, stretched out his long arm, and pulled Tao Mengshu into his arms.
"What are you thinking about?"
Tao Mengshu swirled the wine glass in her hand. "I was thinking about Pei Heyun."
"You said he's taken a liking to Jiang Wan, is that true or just something he said casually?"
Di Wenjun raised an eyebrow and looked down at her.
"I can tell you with absolute certainty that Pei Zi has truly fallen for him."
"You have no idea how excited he was a few days before he returned to China."
"Now that he's back, he doesn't want to appear too deliberate in front of Jiang Wan, so he wants you to be the middleman."
Tao Mengshu sat up from his lap, facing him directly. "You want me to be your matchmaker?"
"That's what I mean." Di Wenjun leaned back on the sofa.
"Invite Jiang Wan to dinner, and have Pei Zi go too, to create an opportunity for him."
Tao Mengshu didn't speak, but slowly drew circles on the rim of the wine glass with her fingertips. After a few seconds, she finally spoke.
"I'm willing to play matchmaker, but I need to make things clear with Jiang Wan first."
"You can't just drag someone to a blind date without any clear understanding of what's going on."
Di Wenjun frowned slightly. "What if she doesn't come when she hears it's a blind date?"
Tao Mengshu put down her wine glass, her tone displeased, "So you want me to lie to her? Di Wenjun, let me tell you, I could never do such a thing."
"I treat Wanwan like a best friend, not some fake sister."
"You think of your brother, but I also have to be responsible for my sister."
Di Wenjun felt somewhat guilty after hearing what she said.
After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he moved closer to her.
"Then let's not go on blind dates, let's just get to know each other."
"You have dinner with Jiang Wan, and I'll bring Shi Xu and Pei Zi over too. We'll just pretend it's a chance encounter."
"With me, the boss, here, I suggest we sit at the same table. I don't think Jiang Wan will mind."
"This way it's easier for you too. I've also provided Pei Zi with an opportunity to meet, so it's a win-win situation."
Tao Mengshu stroked his chin, thinking the suggestion was acceptable.
"Your mind works pretty fast when it comes to swindling and cheating."
"What is fraud and deception? This is called a well-intentioned matchmaking."
Di Wenjun corrected him in a serious tone.
Tao Mengshu picked up her wine glass and took a sip. "Fine, let's pretend it's a coincidence then."
"But let me make this clear: if you happen to figure something out every night, don't blame me for being incompetent."
"I can only guarantee that I can get the person out; the rest is up to Pei Heyun's own fate."
Di Wenjun smiled and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.
"Don't worry, we've already done more than enough for him as a friend. Whether Pei Zi can seize the opportunity is up to him."
Tao Mengshu smiled and pushed his face away, preventing him from kissing her again.
"By the way, you said Shang Shixu will be coming too?"
"Wasn't he back to celebrate Gu Manning's birthday? Why is he getting involved in this kind of celebration?"
Di Wenjun clicked her tongue. "The three of us are best friends. How could Pei Zi not be there for his happiness?"
"He's just here for a meal and to watch the fun. Given his personality, he wouldn't interrupt at a time like this."
"Just treat him as a human-shaped background."
Tao Mengshu was amused.
"A human-shaped backdrop? If Shang Shixu heard you say that, he'd throw you off this building."
Di Wenjun said smugly, "He can't hear me. You're my wife, you won't tell on me."
Tao Mengshu scoffed, "Tomorrow or the day after?"
"Tomorrow."
"Pei Zi is in a real hurry, so you should make an appointment sooner rather than later, so he won't keep nagging me about it all day long."
"Okay, I'll send Wanwan a WeChat message now."
After Tao Mengshu finished speaking, she scrolled to Jiang Wan's WeChat on her phone and opened the chat window.
She typed a line, thought about it, and deleted it; she typed another line and deleted it again.
Di Wenjun peeked over and, seeing that she hadn't sent anything, chuckled and teased, "Are you writing a little essay?"
Tao Mengshu glanced at him. "Don't rush me. I'm working on it."
She thought for a moment, then typed a line and sent it.
Hey Wanwan, are you free tomorrow evening? It's been a while since we last saw each other. Let's grab some dinner, it's on me.
After sending the message, she placed her phone on her lap and waited a few seconds.
With a "humming" vibration, Jiang Wan replied:
Okay~
Tao Mengshu curled her lips into a smile and waved her phone at Di Wenjun, "See? Wanwan will definitely agree as soon as I make a move."
Di Wenjun smiled, "My wife is wonderful!"
Tao Mengshu held her phone and sent another message to Jiang Wan.
【Then I'll pick you up from school tomorrow evening at six o'clock】
Jiang Wan: [Okay! ٩(*´◒`*)۶]
After reading the information, Tao Mengshu began to decide on a restaurant.
She looked at Di Wenjun and suggested, "Why don't we book a restaurant under your name? That way, our chance encounter will be more convincing."
Di Wenjun: "Alright, let's go to Jinglan then."
Tao Mengshu nodded.
Di Wenjun immediately notified his brothers in the group chat.
Good news!
Tao Tao has already made plans to have dinner with some people at Jinglan tomorrow night. We'll pretend to bump into them.
Pei Heyun immediately went online: 【I'll toast Sister Tao tomorrow!】
I won't be able to sleep tonight, so please come tomorrow!!!
Shang Shixu turned off his phone screen, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
He was looking forward to seeing Jiang Wan's expression when she saw him tomorrow.

S University, girls' dormitory.
After replying to Tao Mengshu's message, Jiang Wan took out a diamond bracelet from her bag and locked it in a small safe.
Following the "two generals", another "general" has been added.
Hopefully, no more will be added.
If we add more, we'll need to get a bigger safe.
Her wardrobe wasn't very big to begin with, so there was nowhere to put it.
Jiang Wan washed up and went to bed; the dormitory lights were already off.
In the darkness, she closed her eyes, and images of the hotel room automatically played in her mind.
Hot breaths, a suffocating kiss, an unintentional tenderness beneath a domineering posture...
Jiang Wan felt hot.
She quickly patted her face.
Time to sleep!
Stop overthinking!

The next day, at 8:00 AM.
Presidential Suite 1808.
A stack of documents was on the coffee table.
One of the photos had a one-inch picture of Jiang Wan taken when she entered university.
After flipping through all the documents, Shang Shixu returned to one of the pages.
That was a bank statement.
A list of transactions from Gu Manning's account to Jiang Wan.
Shang Shixu fixed his gaze on the amount on the screen and let out a cold sneer.
Are you satisfied with just over two million?
They want to make money but don't know how to ask for more.
What a coward.
She accepted the task, but little did she know she would use this opportunity to swindle him and achieve financial freedom.
Instead, they were single-mindedly focused on getting it over with as soon as possible.
Don't you like him that much?!
Shang Shixu ground his back teeth hard, deciding to make this "little toad" even more difficult.
He took out his phone and called his assistant.
"I'd like to invite Gu Manning, General Manager of the Gu Group, to Jinglan Restaurant tonight to discuss a collaboration."
"You will represent us in the name of Dingsheng Capital."
The assistant immediately realized that the boss didn't want the other person to know their true identity.
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
