Chapter 129 Not just physiologically, but also psychologically.
Jiang Wan mentally reviewed all the sad things and pursed her lips.
After a few sweet days together, she almost forgot the young master's sharp-tongued nature.
Shen Che clenched his fists at his sides, his throat tightened, and he couldn't utter a single word.
The answer is self-evident from the way Shang Shixu put his arm around Jiang Wan's shoulder and his earlier words about trying to steal her away.
Jiang Wan didn't hook up with some rich old man, but with the eldest son of the richest family in Haicheng.
Heir to the Shang family conglomerate.
He could be banned with just one sentence.
Embarrassment and resentment intertwined, ultimately culminating in a deep gaze upon Jiang Wan.
Shen Che took half a step back, turned around and left.
Jiang Wan glanced at his back, and the hand on her shoulder suddenly tightened.
"Feeling sorry for him?"
Shang Shixu's cold, hard voice rang out above his head.
Jiang Wan shook her head. "No, I was just thinking that he will give up completely this time."
Shang Shixu scoffed, "If you don't give up, you'll only be waiting to be blacklisted by me."
"He's no fool for being able to thrive in the entertainment industry."
"On the contrary, he's incredibly cunning."
"Before I appeared, he thought that a few small favors would win you over and make you his secret lover."
"When they find you're out of control, they start badmouthing you and lowering their own expectations."
"How can someone like that find true love?"
The analysis of the time sequence of the commerce business is spot on.
Jiang Wan agreed with his point of view and took his hand.
"Alright, brother, he's insignificant now. Let's go eat."
Shang Shixu turned his hand back and a smile played on his lips.
"Walk."
Half an hour later, the dishes were served one after another.
They sat facing each other, and Jiang Wan recalled the scene of eating before she was taken down.
Either Shang Shixu was wearing a blindfold, or she had her back to her while dining in the two areas.
With a different mindset, looking back at what happened before, Jiang Wan really wanted to laugh.
She instinctively smiled, and a voice came from the other end of the line.
"What are you thinking about, making you so happy?"
Jiang Wan looked up, her face beaming with smiles.
"Thinking back to the time we ate together."
Shang Shixu paused for a moment, then a slight smile played on his lips. "Nostalgia?"
"How about I blindfold myself and act it out with you again?"
Jiang Wan quickly waved her hands, "No, no, I like it right now!"
Feeding blindfolded is such a hassle.
The next second, Shang Shixu bluntly said, "Tch, you just find things troublesome."
Jiang Wan gave an awkward laugh, stuffed a whole shrimp dumpling into her mouth, swallowed it, and then started chatting casually.
"elder brother."
"Um?"
"How did you recognize that Gu Manning wasn't me when you were having dinner with her?"
The man put down his chopsticks, crossed his arms over his chest, as if to say, "You've finally asked me."
He was like the kind of top student who had done his homework and was just waiting for the teacher to call on him to check it.
Shang Shixu cleared his throat.
"I sensed something was wrong the moment she appeared."
Why?
Jiang Wan became interested and heard him say the next sentence:
"Because my body only wants to be close to you."
That's a very ambiguous statement.
Jiang Wan blinked. "So your feelings for me are... purely physical?"
"I like it not only physically, but also psychologically."
His smiling eyes were fixed on her.
Jiang Wan's face flushed, and she looked away.
She wanted to drink the soup and pick up some vegetables, so she gestured with her hands for a couple of moments before finally picking up the water glass next to her and taking a sip.
Not knowing what to say, Jiang Wan put down her water glass and quickly started a new topic.
"So how did you confirm your suspicions?"
The man's gaze fell on the basket of shrimp dumplings.
"I told Gu Manning, 'I remember you don't like shrimp dumplings,' and she replied that she doesn't like them, but she sometimes wants to try them."
Jiang Wan: ......
Okay, okay, that's really cunning!
Even if Gu Manning attended her "master class", she would still fail.
Thinking of how she had deceived him in the past, Jiang Wan smiled and put a shrimp dumpling on his plate.
"Brother is so smart! He always succeeds!"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"
Shang Shixu gave a soft hum.
A guilty little liar.
He picked up his chopsticks and stuffed the shrimp dumpling into his mouth.

After dinner, Jiang Wan suggested going home.
Shang Shixu offered to let Jiang Wan stay at his apartment that night, but she refused.
Firstly, she still has work to do.
Secondly, you cannot spend the night with him.
Now her resistance to the timing of business events is getting weaker and weaker.
Therefore, the only way to create distance is through physical means.
Jiang Wan said she would take a ride-hailing service to avoid making him drive for another two hours.
They disagreed on the timing of the business change.
He insisted on delivering the package and decided to stay at a hotel in Zhijiang County that night.
Jiang Wan couldn't refuse him, so she had no choice but to go along with it.
At 10 p.m., I arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
Jiang Wan unbuckled her seatbelt. "Goodbye, brother~"
Shang Shixu stared at her, tapping his cheek twice with his fingertips, the meaning of which was self-evident.
His intense gaze made Jiang Wan's expression unnatural.
She reached out and covered his eyes, then leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek.
I opened the car door, got out, and quickly walked into the residential area.
No sooner had Jiang Wan left than Shang Shixu called his assistant.
He wants to buy a house.
I bought a house across from Jiang Wan's.
The sooner the better!

The next day, at eight o'clock in the morning.
Sunlight streamed in through the kitchen window, falling on the steaming pot of seaweed and egg drop soup on the stove.
Fang Ru scooped four bowls of soup with a spoon.
Then he scooped the pan-fried buns from the frying pan into a plate.
Jiang Baishan walked in, placed the bowls and plates on the table, and called out, "Dinner's ready!"
Jiang Feng came out of the bathroom, his T-shirt collar stained with water from washing his face.
Jiang Wan walked out of the bedroom yawning, her face showing the languid look of someone who had just woken up.
The bun on her head was tied crookedly.
After quickly washing up in the bathroom, I sat down at the dining table.
Fang Ru picked up a fried bun and put it on her small plate, then started chatting.
"Did you know that our neighbors across the hall are moving away?"
"Across the hall?" Jiang Baishan frowned. "Didn't that young couple just move in this year?"
"We were living comfortably, why are we moving out?"
Fang Ru picked up a piece of pickled vegetable and spoke with a hint of envy.
"I ran into that young couple when I went downstairs to buy groceries this morning. They said someone had bought their house."
"They didn't want to sell at first, but the other party offered a high price, so they happily sold it."
Jiang Baishan nodded. "Then they are really quite lucky."
While their parents chatted, Jiang Wan and her brother Jiang Feng focused on cooking.
They are not interested in trivial family matters.
After breakfast, Jiang Wan closed the door and worked in her room.
Of the twenty works, she has only completed eight so far.
In the morning, the sound of moving from across the street reached the Jiang family's house from just two steps away.
Jiang Feng peered through the peephole for a while, then spoke to his parents who were watching TV in the living room.
"Let me tell you, a rich person is moving into our apartment across the hall."
Jiang Baishan questioned his son, "How did you know?"
Jiang Feng raised his chin. "I'm going to be a criminal investigator someday. Do you think I wouldn't have this much observational skill?"
Fang Ru was curious and told him to stop being mysterious and tell her quickly.
Jiang Feng gave the answer with a smile.
"The moving company they hired wasn't from Zhijiang County, but a top-tier moving company in Haicheng that's known for its gold-standard service."
"I saw this company's logo online before."
Jiang Baishan frowned. "Why would rich people move here?"
Jiang Feng shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.
Fang Ru pondered for a moment but couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
Jiang Wan, in her bedroom, heard nothing of her family's conversation in the living room, all because the television was playing in the background.
She was focused on her work until she received a call from Shang Shixu at noon.
