Chapter 16: 016 Newlywed Couple Vibes (Chapter 3) Chapter 16: 016 Newlywed Couple Vibes (Chapter 3) Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Although Tang Wan couldn’t agree with her grandfather’s approach, as the host, she still needed to be proactive and hospitable.

The Tang Family was not a hotel, and seldom had outsiders staying over. Although they had some disposable toiletries, it was fine for a one-night stay. If staying long-term, they would need to buy some personal items.

The old man directly called Tang Wan, telling her to make a trip to the supermarket.

“That kid has a peculiar temper. If I buy things randomly and he doesn’t use them, it would be a waste. Since he’s coming to our house, he should stay comfortably.”

Tang Wan had no choice but to ask for Jiang Jinsang’s opinion and went to the supermarket with him.

The Jiang Family really wanted to say one thing: their master didn’t like going to the supermarket! They could manage his household supplies by themselves just fine.

Just as Jiang Jinsang spoke up first, “Which supermarket are we going to?”

Jiang Family: “…”

Previously, when he wasn’t feeling well, he was too lazy to move. What was different today?

*

The Jiang Family members were numerous, and going into the supermarket all together would attract too much attention, so they left only two people to follow along.

Tang Wan accompanied Jiang Jinsang, starting their shopping from the daily necessities section.

“Is this brand okay?” Tang Wan didn’t know his habits or preferences, so she could only choose based on her own preferences and then seek his opinion.

Jiang Jinsang followed her step by step. Though the two occasionally exchanged words, always maintaining a slight distance, they appeared inexplicably intimate, yet not jarring or uncomfortable.

Two Jiang Family members pushed a cart, following about half a meter behind them, observing the pair.

“Don’t you feel that our master is particularly agreeable today?”

“It would be great if his temper stayed this way; I’m just afraid he’s holding back for something big and we’ll suffer for it later.”

“Perhaps we should stick close to Miss Tang. I really feel our master treats her quite differently.”

…

Tang Wan was standing in front of a shelf selecting items, when Jiang Jinsang’s phone in his pocket vibrated restlessly. He fished it out for a glance and stepped aside, “Hello—”

The Jiang Family members closely followed Jiang Jinsang; when he moved, they moved as well.

“I heard you collapsed again?” The voice carried a teasing tone.

“What’s up?” Jiang Jinsang spoke, glancing sidelong at Tang Wan.

She was bowed over, comparing two bottles of hand soap. Her long hair draped down, concealing her face, and she casually tucked her hair behind her ear. Her neck was slender and fair, her long gray skirt cinched at a delicate waist.

Broad shoulders, long legs, gentle brows.

“Just a friend showing concern. Don’t tell me the Tang Family girl rejected you, and you’re heartbroken and fallen ill?”

“Just getting rejected, what’s there to be sad about?”

“There are plenty of women in the world. If one doesn’t work out, just change things up every day.”

Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow; what else could this person do besides talking crap?

…

Not sure if it was because it rained outside, but Tang Wan felt the supermarket was particularly crowded today. She caught sight of someone pushing a cart near, so she politely moved two steps to the side.

She didn’t expect it was a mischievous kid pushing the cart, the wheels sliding out of control and aiming at her calf.

Holding items in her hand, she instinctively retreated…

In the next second, an arm wrapped her waist, pulling her slightly backward, and her back collided with someone’s chest.

Jiang Jinsang lifted a hand to steady the cart, almost pulling her entirely into his embrace.

“I’m sorry, truly sorry. Quickly apologize to the older brother and sister,” said the child’s parent apologetically. The child, shorter than the cart, obediently apologized.

“No problem,” Tang Wan shook her head good-naturedly, her waist still encircled.

In that instant…

Her heartbeat stammered, breath tight.

But in a flash, he had already released his hold. Tang Wan tried to turn sideways, attempting to avoid any further contact with him.

The space between the supermarket shelves was wide enough, but the kid’s cart pressed so closely to Tang Wan, it squeezed her and Jiang Jinsang into a narrow space.

Unavoidable contact.

Her shoulder brushing his chest, he wore a thin sweater, thicker than most, his body warmth noticeable.

“Let’s go.”

With their bodies separated slightly, he loosely shielded her, leading them both away from the cramped aisle. Tang Wan then turned her head to thank him, “Do you need anything else?”

“Almost done, let’s go home.”

His voice, inherently gentle, carried a warmth through it.

The phrase “go home” in such a setting bore a hint of cozy intimacy.

Inside, Tang Wan’s heart trembled fiercely at those two words.

Jiang Jinsang casually took the hand soap from her and tossed it into the cart behind them.

The Jiang Family members were stunned by his series of surprising moves.

They continued to fix their eyes on Jiang Jinsang, bewildered at how their master maneuvered.

At check-out, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang simultaneously pulled out their phones for payment.

“You can scan mine.”

The cashier glanced at the two, smiled, and scanned Jiang Jinsang’s phone, “A couple? Do you have to split it so precisely?”

Tang Wan’s mouth twitched, feeling like she still had unpaid old debts and was now accruing new ones.

They didn’t appear to be siblings but rather like a newly cemented couple, slightly shy and awkward, not quite daring to show affection in public…

“No, just a friend,” Tang Wan explained.

The cashier smiled, not arguing, tidying up the items, “They’re all daily necessities, must be a close friend, right?”

What with tissues, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, who would accompany a mere ordinary friend to select such things?

The Jiang Family members were already stunned by their master’s surprising behavior, and after hearing the cashier’s words, they studied the two, feeling more and more that this pair…

inexplicably had the air of a newlywed couple.
