Chapter 43: Chapter 43 - 43 043 Fifth Masters secret flirtation No matter how

Chapter 43: 043 Fifth Master’s secret flirtation: No matter how late, I’ll wait for you to come back Chapter 43: 043 Fifth Master’s secret flirtation: No matter how late, I’ll wait for you to come back Pingjiang City, a sudden downpour continued.

Tang Wan stood by the window, the rain fiercely pelting the glass, already forming a curtain of water, “Uncle Chen, are you sure he himself has arrived?”

“Mhm, or maybe I should go and receive him first.”

“He’s coming for me; their company is indeed sincere. Since I kept refusing before, they probably thought I was intentionally putting on airs. Now that I’ve agreed, and with the delay, I guess they’re quite annoyed, thinking I’m intentionally stringing them along.”

Manager Chen also thought of this layer, “Then I’ll make contact first, get the guest settled. It’s pouring and we can’t go out, so I’ll find a restaurant nearby.”

“Give me the time and place after you’ve arranged it, it’d be better for me to go there personally, after all…”

Tang Wan chuckled lightly, “They’re coming for me.”

…

After hanging up the phone, Tang Wan went online to search for information on this person. There were very few photos, but there was a lot of news about him.

His family had only recently ventured into the entertainment industry, and too many people wanted to cozy up to him. According to industry insiders, with his looks and figure, even if he was just freeloading, it would still be a win.

But over the years, no one dared to use him for hype, which also shows from the side that he’s not someone to be trifled with.

After searching for a long time, she didn’t find any useful information.

Tang Wan applied some light makeup and picked up Jiang Jinsang’s jacket, then knocked on the door of the next room.

“Miss Tang.” The door was opened by Jiang Cuo, his eyes narrowed like a fox, smiling innocently.

“May I come in?”

“Please.” Jiang Cuo hurriedly stepped aside.

The room was already warmed by heating, and despite the high temperature, Jiang Jinsang was still wearing a thin sweater, leaning on a chair, draped with a wool blanket, looking lazy and abstinent.

“With such heavy rain, you’re going out?” Jiang Jinsang put down the book in his hand.

“Yes, I’ve come to return your clothes.” Tang Wan glanced at the cover of his book out of the corner of her eye, surprised to see it was about botanical gardening, “I have a work client dinner tonight and might return late. Please take care of my grandfather for me.”

After Tang Wan entered, Jiang Jinsang had already stood up and walked over.

Perhaps because of the chilly rain, even in her black and white business attire, she was thoroughly covered in long sleeves and long trousers.

Just the pairing beneath the white shirt had two buttons undone, revealing half of her collarbone chain, exuding intellectual charm with a hint of seduction.

“I’ll keep an eye on Grandfather Tang,” said Jiang Jinsang as he took the clothes from her hand and placed them on his arm, staring at her fair and slender neck with a slight frown, “It’s quite cold outside.”

“It is very cold.”

“Button up properly, otherwise you’ll catch a draft and easily catch a cold.”

Just stepping outside for a moment, Tang Wan had already been chilled by the cold air and was planning on fastening all her buttons anyway. Having heard his advice, she proceeded to button up.

The shirt buttons were small and delicate; Tang Wan had to concentrate. Just as she fastened the button, she caught a glimpse of the person in front of her reaching out.

Too close, completely unguarded.

She had just been filled with cold air, chilled to the bone.

“There was hair caught under it,” Jiang Jinsang had already withdrawn his hand.

But…

He didn’t step back, keeping the distance between them uncomfortably close.

Tang Wan’s skin was fair, her complexion exquisitely soft to the touch.

“Thank you,” Tang Wan said casually gathering her hair.

But she didn’t realize…

It made her appear all the more captivating.

“Don’t worry, when you’re out alone, girls shouldn’t drink,” Jiang Jinsang spoke, his breath slightly held.

“I know, I won’t touch alcohol if there aren’t any familiar people around.”

“If something feels off, call me at any time.”

A man’s concern is always touching, especially when the man is extraordinarily handsome.

“Actually…”

Tang Wan was no naïve young girl, aware of many things. There really was no point in troubling Jiang Jinsang. But before she could refuse, he spoke, cutting her off.

“Are you sure you’ll come back tonight? The rain is heavy out there, if it’s inconvenient to drive, find a hotel nearby to stay overnight, and it’s fine to come back in the daytime.”

Everything should be done in moderation; their relationship hadn’t reached that point, and Jiang Jinsang wouldn’t intrude on her work and social life.

“I’ll definitely come back,” Tang Wan said with a smile, “I’ll just drive slower in the rain, I know the roads well, no problem.”

“Then…” Jiang Jinsang’s tone was as gentle as ever.

“No matter how late, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Tang Wan’s heartbeat stumbled…

Its frequency erratic, utterly disordered.

“Grandfather Tang won’t be able to look after you if he’s unwell, and if anything happens to you, I would have a hard time explaining it to him,” Jiang Jinsang gave a well-reasoned excuse.

Tang Wan faltered, “You really don’t have to worry too much about me. With the weather like this, it’d be good for you to get some rest early if you have nothing else to do…”

“Mhm.” Jiang Jinsang just acknowledged this but didn’t give her an exact response.

Tang Wan left his room, opened her umbrella, tried to get into her car after speaking briefly with her grandfather, and headed for the restaurant.

The cold wind poured into her neck, yet she didn’t feel chilled.

Once in the car, perhaps because it was stuffy inside, she actually felt a bit hot.

She reached to touch her neck, where he had touched; the veins seemed to palpitate restlessly, thumping against her palm…

Warm and burning.

What kind of a devil was this Fifth Master Jiang!

Meanwhile, at Pingjiang Hotel, in VIP room 168

At the large round table, only two people were seated. Manager Chen glanced surreptitiously at the man sitting a few seats away.

That man was looking at his phone, his suit neat and exquisite, his deep blue tie and the line of his jaw profile smooth and superior, the room’s dim light casting a shadow over his eyes.

His attire was simple and abstinent, yet it looked effortlessly lazy on him.

Perhaps sensing Manager Chen’s gaze, he looked over, “Something the matter?”

To succeed in the business world with a privileged family background, his whole being exuded a sense of aggression—elegant yet dangerous. A mere squint and a smile were enough to drown out any malevolence.

“Nothing important.” Manager Chen awkwardly picked up his tea cup, took a sip, and just then his phone vibrated twice.

Tang Wan had arrived.

“Please wait, I’ll go to meet our guest.” No longer wanting to be alone with him, Manager Chen immediately went out to receive her.

The assistant standing behind the man watched his boss put down the phone and assume a nonchalant posture. Clearly…

Tonight, he was set on taking this person down.

The assistant pursed his lips, glancing out the window:

The rain falls as it chooses, and the grandee plays the devil as he wishes; it can’t be helped.
