Tang Wan sat by the window, pondering how to reject Jiang Jinsang that evening. She indeed had nothing planned for the night, and bailing on him at the last minute felt too deliberate. With no other option, she called her best friend to explain the situation.

“…So you want me to call you later, giving you an excuse to slip back to your room, right?”

“Exactly.”

“I’ve never met the fifth Mr. Jiang, but his brother’s always on magazine covers, so handsome. I’m sure the younger brother isn’t bad-looking either. Even based on his looks alone, it’s worth it for a couple of extra bowls of rice, so what are you afraid of?” her friend laughed.

“Plus, you’re strong and healthy. What could a sickly guy possibly do to you? If you don’t start anything with him, he’ll be lucky.” Tang Wan’s lips twitched; strong and healthy?

“Tang Xiaowan, it’s your place, why are you acting so cowardly?”

“Anyway, make sure you call me later!” Tang Wan insisted firmly.

“Got it. It’s almost the end of the year, and all departments are scrambling to meet targets. My boss is going crazy, so I can’t stay on the line. If caught slacking at work, I’ll lose my year-end bonus.”

Tang Wan hadn’t even replied before the call ended. Their good relationship meant she wouldn’t mind such abruptness.

With an excuse to escape, Tang Wan felt much more at ease.

After dinner and cleaning up, Jiang Jinsang accompanied the old man to watch the news, while Tang Wan sat nearby playing on her phone, browsing Weibo for a bit.

“Grandpa Tang, I’m returning to my room,” Jiang Jinsang stood up.

Old Tang nodded, catching a glimpse of his motionless granddaughter. “Wanwan, aren’t you going?”

Tang Wan frowned; just because he left, why must she follow?

“It’s fine, I’ll go back on my own,” Jiang Jinsang smiled faintly; they’d have to meet again soon anyway.

The night was long… There was no rush.
