Tang Wan looked at the time, “Aunt Li, Uncle Teng, I’m getting ready to head back.”

“I… I should be going too,” He Shao immediately said.

Tang Wan wasn’t concerned about him and only looked towards him, “Fifth Master, we can go back now.”

“Mhm,” Jiang Jinsang nodded.

He Shao had just entered the hospital room and seen this man. With superior looks and demeanor, he was hard to ignore.

Especially the ‘fox-eyed,’ sunglass-wearing man following him. He was the stuff of He Shao’s nightmares. Scared out of his wits, he felt his injury twinge with pain.

Since no one had introduced them, he didn’t dare to initiate a greeting. They left the hospital room together, unavoidably creating an awkward atmosphere.

Tang Wan had a lot on her mind and didn’t bother introducing the two men. It wasn’t until they parted ways that they finally exchanged goodbyes.

Jiang Jinsang gave him a smile, but He Shao felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.

The Tang Family’s old house

By the time Tang Wan returned, Madam Chen had already packed everything, “Everything’s ready. You should go freshen up first, you’re still in your pajamas…”

“I know.” Tang Wan felt somewhat calmer now and subconsciously touched her knee. She had been frantic earlier but now felt pain in the spot where she’d been hit.

Jiang Jinsang watched her, narrowing his eyes, remaining silent.

“I made some soup for you to take to the hospital. It’ll be ready in about half an hour. You can rest in your room for a bit and then go to the hospital after eating,” Madam Chen was always thoughtful.

Tang Wan nodded. When she got to her room, her phone was filled with missed calls and messages.

Local Pingjiang media had already started pushing out the news that “Mr. Tang suddenly fainted and was rushed to the hospital,” along with messages of concern from relatives and friends. She was just about to reply to a few when she heard a knock at the door.

“It’s me, may I come in?” Jiang Jinsang’s voice.

“Come in.”

Jiang Jinsang pushed the door open, holding a medicine box in his hand.

“What’s this for…”

“Isn’t your leg injured?”

“It’s just a scratch, it’s nothing serious.”

“Let’s apply some medicine.”

“But…” Tang Wan coughed, “I want to take a shower first. Maybe I can do it myself later…”

She had drunk too much last night. At the moment, she was still somewhat groggy and disheveled, yearning for a shower to freshen up.

“Then I’ll wait for you to come out,” Jiang Jinsang had no intention of leaving.

Tang Wan was pressed for time and needed to rush to the hospital, so she couldn’t spare any more words with him. She just took some clean clothes and went into the bathroom.

Jiang Jinsang waited for a while when his phone vibrated. It was a call from Qi Zeyan.

“Hello—”

“Damn, I saw the news and found out Mr. Tang was hospitalized. How is he? Is he okay?” Qi Zeyan had just woken up and his head was throbbing.

“He’s still unconscious, but he’s fine otherwise.”

“That’s good. These trashy news reports are unreliable, claiming he’s on his deathbed,” Qi Zeyan rubbed his brow, “By the way, how’s Miss Tang? Is she okay? She must be terrified, right?”

“I should have been by her side right away to comfort her. Women are at their most vulnerable in times like this.”

“If she was crying, wouldn’t she need a strong and reliable shoulder like mine to lean on?”

“Really?” Jiang Jinsang absently twiddled his fingers.

“Where is she? She’s alright, right?”

Qi Zeyan had the phone on speaker, his throat parched from the night’s drinking. He grabbed the complimentary mineral water from the hotel, about to take a sip.

Jiang Jinsang glanced at the bathroom; the sound of running water still hadn’t stopped, “She’s taking a shower.”

Showering?

Qi Zeyan hadn’t even raised the water to his lips when he was startled by this statement, spilling it all over himself, “What the fuck—”

“What happened?”

“Nothing, nothing. At a time like this… why take a shower?”

“Maybe the alcohol from last night hadn’t worn off yet.”

“No wonder. Which hospital and which ward is Old Tang in…”

After hanging up the phone, Zeyan’s assistant arrived, his front shirt completely soaked through and he was taking it off.

“How come you didn’t notify me the moment something happened to the Tang Family?”

“I called you and knocked on your door several times. You told me to get lost,” the assistant said, expressionless.

Zeyan’s temper flared. He could tell him to get lost every hour and fire him three times a day, so the assistant obediently avoided touching a raw nerve and would leave if dared.

He had grown accustomed to it.

Zeyan knew he was not a morning person, “Prepare some things. We are going to the hospital to see Old Tang.”

He felt that Old Tang’s incident coming at this time was like heaven helping him. It wasn’t that he was cold-blooded and didn’t care for the elderly, but this was an opportunity given by the heavens. He must seize the time to make a good impression.

…

Over at the Tang Family, Tang Wan had just finished showering. There was someone in the room, so naturally, she was decently dressed, her hair half-dry, with the tips still faintly dripping water.

“Thanks for bringing me medicine. I can do it myself, you’ve already troubled yourself enough this morning,” Tang Wan said, her mind in disarray, yet she remembered clearly what Jiang Jinsang had done.

“It’s what I should do. Roll up your pant leg, I’ll take a look at the wound.”

“It’s nothing, just bumped it a bit.”

Tang Wan was in a hurry to leave and didn’t have time to waste. She rolled up her pant leg, revealing a knee cap bruised and purple, looking somewhat shocking.

“I can just apply some medicine myself.” Tang Wan reached for the ointment, but Jiang Jinsang held it in his hand and didn’t give it to her, “Fifth Master?”

“I’ll do it.”

Before Tang Wan could react, Jiang Jinsang had already approached her, bent down on one knee, unscrewed the ointment cap, dabbed a bit with his finger, and gently applied it to the affected area.

His hands were still as warm as usual. He smoothed out the ointment, gently massaging it, “Let me know if it hurts.”

“It’s fine. Maybe I should do it myself.”

It wasn’t ancient times. In summer, it was normal for girls to show their arms and legs, but now, exposing a knee in front of him, Tang Wan inexplicably felt rather awkward.

Though it was her leg that was in pain, she felt her whole body grow hot.

After he finished applying the ointment, Tang Wan was about to thank him and pull down her pant leg, but Jiang Jinsang said, “The ointment is oily. It hasn’t fully absorbed yet and might get everywhere.”

“I know.”

But no sooner had Tang Wan’s words fallen than he suddenly leaned in and blew on her knee a few times.

Warm and gentle, it made her feel as if her whole body suddenly came to life.

“Fifth Master…” Tang Wan was unnerved, wishing she could immediately lower the pant leg she had rolled up.

Yet she moved a bit too hastily, her half-dry hair still dripping with water, and Jiang Jinsang, beneath her, accidentally got a droplet on his cheek.

Chilly and crisp.

Jiang Jinsang frowned slightly.

“Sorry, my hair…” Tang Wan’s thick hair would take a long time to dry completely; she hadn’t expected water would splash on his face and didn’t know what to do for a moment.

“It’s okay.”

“Sorry.”

“There’s ointment on my hand. Can you help me apply it?” his voice was smooth and seemed to carry a coaxing tone.

Tang Wan’s heart took a sudden hit, racing wildly.

…

Meanwhile, Jiang Cuo and Jiang Jiu were still waiting outside.

Jiang Cuo squinted his fox-like eyes, “It looks like Young Master Qi has already gone to the hospital, and that coward named He too. With Old Tang sick, anyone who wants to form an alliance with the Tang Family will surely come. I guess there’ll be quite a crowd. With so many rivals in love, how come our master doesn’t seem worried at all?”

“Young Master Qi will help him clear all the rivals, and then he’ll only have to deal with one person.”

Jiang Cuo blinked: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?

“As long as someone helps handle the rivals, all he has to do is to stay by Miss Tang’s side.”

“…”

The moment Qi Zeyan arrived at the hospital and got out of the car, a cold wind blew, and he couldn’t help but sneeze. Pingjiang was quite chilly!
