Chapter 137 Parting is for a better reunion next time
Jiang Wan washed her face, brushed her teeth, changed her clothes, and went downstairs as quickly as possible.
She ran out of the residential area with a bare face.
A black Rolls-Royce was parked on the side of the road, and the driver could be seen in the driver's seat through the windshield.
Jiang Wan looked around and, finding no familiar faces nearby, opened the back door and jumped inside.
I had barely settled into my seat when I heard a man's unrestrained voice coming from beside me.
"I wondered what had crawled in there, but it turned out to be just a little mouse."
Jiang Wan gave him a playful glare, "You're the rat."
"Alright, let's go."
"No rush."
Shang Shixu handed over a breakfast.
Inside are two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk.
Jiang Wan immediately recognized it as the breakfast place she loved, the one she had taken Shang Shixu to buy from.
Jiang Wan took them and found that the steamed buns and soy milk were still warm.
She opened the bag and took a bite of the meat bun.
The savory broth spread across my tongue, and I closed my eyes contentedly.
Seeing how much she enjoyed her food, Shang Shixu smiled.
It was worth the trip he made to buy it.
Next time I come back, I'll buy the recipe.
Jiang Wan swallowed her food. "When do we leave?"
"Wait until you finish eating."
"Eat while you walk, it won't take long."
"I didn't plan for you to deliver it."
Jiang Wan paused, "Then why did you ask me if I would give you a ride?"
"Testing whether you're willing to give it."
That's really cunning.
Jiang Wan raised an eyebrow. "What if I don't want to?"
The man snorted coldly.
"I'll make sure your ass is ripped open."
Jiang Wan: (°ー°〃)
Thinking about the spanking she had received before, Jiang Wan felt embarrassed and lowered her head to eat her steamed bun silently.
Shang Shixu smiled and reached out to rub her little head.
It's not that I don't want her to take me, but it's a four-hour round trip.
On the way back, I was still worried about her safety.
Not worth the candle.
After finishing her first steamed bun, Jiang Wan started eating another vegetarian bun and casually asked, "Has brother had breakfast yet?"
"have eaten."
He then added a sentence after he finished speaking.
"If you insist on feeding me, then I can still have one more bite."
An arrogant young master is begging for food online.
Jiang Wan held the uneaten vegetarian bun to his mouth.
"ah--"
The man leaned down and, just before taking a bite of the bun, turned his head and kissed her cheek.
A loud kiss echoed from the closed trunk.
The warm atmosphere suddenly turned somewhat ambiguous.
Jiang Wan clenched the bun tightly in her fingers, and her ears turned red at a visible speed.
Just as she was about to pretend nothing had happened, she heard a man's teasing voice above her head.
"Little mouse, why are your ears so red?"
Shyness is something you shouldn't expose.
For some people, being exposed would be infuriating.
But for Jiang Wan, once the truth was out, all she wanted to do was run away.
She pretended not to hear and sped up her eating of the steamed buns, wanting to finish her meal as soon as possible.
Shang Shixu lowered his eyes, his burning gaze filled with reluctance.
My gaze swept to the back of her fair neck, where there was a layer of fine downy hair.
He placed his palm on it and gently stroked it.
Jiang Wan felt itchy from his rubbing and shrank her neck slightly.
"Stop it, it itches."
"...Where does it itch?"
The man's deep voice was somewhat hoarse.
Jiang Wan's body stiffened.
I don't want to admit that I've misunderstood.
She didn't answer the question about where it itched, but instead sped up her eating of the steamed bun.
He swallowed the last bite of the steamed bun, then shoved open the soy milk and took a big gulp to smooth it down.
"You're done eating!"
"Brother, let's go, don't miss your flight."
Seeing how eager she was to leave, Shang Shixu gritted his teeth.
calm down!
Jiang Wan leaned in and gave him a light hug.
Shang Shixu felt much less frustrated.
"Brother, please be careful on the road!"
"it is good."
Jiang Wan opened the door and got out of the car with nimble movements.
The car door closed, and the car quickly started and drove away.
She stood there, watching it disappear.
After relaxing, she belatedly realized that she felt a little reluctant to leave.
You should have hugged me tighter just now.
But then I thought about it again.
He will finish his studies and return to China in the middle of next month, and we will have a long time to spend together in the future.
Jiang Wan hummed a little tune as she went home.
Mom is in the bathroom, and Dad is watering the flowers on the balcony.
As she was getting ready to go back to her room to work, she received a message from Shang Shixu on her phone.
[I forgot to mention earlier, please send me your brother's WeChat.]
Jiang Wan paused, then knocked on her younger brother's door.
"What's wrong, sis?" Jiang Feng asked from inside the door.
Jiang Wan looked around furtively, then lowered her voice and said, "He wants to add you on WeChat."
"Him? Who is he?"
After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he suddenly realized that his sister was referring to Shang Shixu.
The man who wanted to become his brother-in-law.
"Give it to him."
"If he wants to continue this relationship with you, he'll have to get to know me better sooner or later."
Seeing her younger brother's relaxed demeanor, Jiang Wan nodded.
"Okay, then I'll push you to him now."
Jiang Wan immediately pushed it over and went back to her room to start working.
Tomorrow is the deadline for submitting the artwork.

Separated by a wall.
Jiang Feng held his phone and accepted Shang Shixu's friend request.
The dialog box displays the system's initial information.
He thought for a moment and sent a greeting emoji to show his friendliness.
After all, he wasn't very friendly when we first met last night.
The next second, the phone vibrated with a "buzz".
The screen shows that the other party has initiated a transfer transaction.
Jiang Feng's gaze sharpened, and his breath stopped abruptly.
I rely on!
Two hundred thousand!
"Buzzing—!"
Several messages followed closely behind:
The platform only allows a maximum transfer of 200,000 yuan.
Send me your bank card number, I'll give you an additional 800,000.
As your brother-in-law, congratulations on getting into your dream university!
Jiang Feng yelled and ran out of the room, clutching his phone and calling out "Sister!" as he ran.
He rushed into Jiang Wan's room without knocking.
"Bang!"
He closed the door behind him.
Jiang Baishan and Fang Ru exchanged a glance in the living room and both shook their heads.
This kid's gone mad!
Inside the room, Jiang Wan was startled by her younger brother's erratic behavior.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Feng shoved his phone screen right in front of her.
Jiang Wan wasn't too surprised after reading it; she was well aware of the young master's intentions.
Two hundred thousand is the platform's upper limit, not his.
The one million yuan gift was also a result of his restraint.
After all, back then, they were just dating online, and he dared to give her a diamond ring worth nearly ten million.
To this day, Jiang Wan still doesn't dare to wear it.
I was afraid it would get bumped, scratched, or lost.
She looked at her younger brother, "Do you want to accept it?"
Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat.
I want to, but I don't want to.
The part about thinking goes without saying.
The reason I didn't want to was that I felt like I was selling my sister after receiving the money.
He looked serious. "I don't want to accept it."
"You two are just dating right now. If our family takes money, then the nature of the relationship will change."
Jiang Wan nodded.
"Okay, then go back and send them a thank you message, saying you appreciate the sentiment."
Jiang Feng quickly did as instructed.
Upon receiving the reply, Shang Shixu did not persist.
It seems that only marriage can bring recognition.

Zhijiang County, midnight.
Jiang Wan received news that Shang Shixu had landed in Boston.
After saying goodnight, she closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
Early the next morning, I packed my sketches and notebook, and took the borrowed black umbrella.
She also slipped a small box of mung bean cakes made by her mother into her bag.
Jiang Wan boarded a bus heading to Haicheng city.
In the car, she sent Bai Mu a message.
He told him what time he would arrive, but the other party did not reply.
11:30 am.
Jiang Wan arrived at Bai Mu's residence.
She was about to ring the doorbell when she found the door was ajar.
The door wasn't closed?
Thinking that he might have seen the message I sent that morning, I opened the door in advance.
Jiang Wan gently opened the door and went inside.
