The young lady hired me to help her and the young master have an online romance.

Chapter 127 Jiang Wan Flirts Back!

Jiang Wan paused for a moment, then explained:

"I will like you more and more, but I won't go public for now because I'm not at ease with myself."

Shang Shixu looked up and said, "How can I put your mind at ease? I can give you either a legal identity or money."

Jiang Wan revealed a shallow dimple as she looked into his focused eyes.

"A sense of security cannot be obtained through transactions, at least not for me."

"I know you've made up your mind about me and can't wait to tell everyone, but it's too fast for me."

"So, please be patient and let's spend more time together, okay?"

When Zhou Feiyan once said that those who are quick to act are also quick to act, Jiang Wan took it to heart and agreed with her statement.

She and Shang Shixu had just begun to open up to each other, and their understanding of one another was just starting.

Let's wait until we've had some time to adjust before discussing it further.

Shang Shixu's inner turmoil was easily soothed by a few words.

He pulled Jiang Wan into his arms and whispered, "Okay."

......

Since Jiang Feng is outside, Shang Shixu won't be able to leave for the time being.

Jiang Wan chatted with him in the room about what had happened in the past few days.

Shang Shixu sat down in the chair, and Jiang Wan showed him the bracelet that Gu Manning had given him.

He glanced at it and gave a soft snort.

"It's just so-so, far inferior to what I sent."

The man's arrogant demeanor was somewhat endearing.

Jiang Wan coaxed, "Yes, of course what your brother gives you is the best~"

Shang Shixu curled the corners of her lips, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, is your employer easy to get along with?"

Jiang Wan rubbed her chin.

"Hmm...we should be easy to get along with, anyway, our communication is very efficient."

Shang Shixu lifted his eyelids slightly. "Is he handsome?"

A sly glint flashed in Jiang Wan's eyes.

"Pretty handsome."

Shang Shixu's upturned lips instantly disappeared, and he pulled her into his arms.

"I'll give you a chance to say it again."

Jiang Wan stopped teasing him and chose to tell the truth.

"Not as handsome as you."

Shang Shixu reached out and pinched her cheek, quite pleased with himself, "You little liar know your stuff."

After exchanging a smile, Shang Shixu began to get down to business.

"My grandfather is going back to Haicheng in a few days. I will finish my studies abroad next month, and he will celebrate his 85th birthday at the end of the month."

"Would you like to come with me?"

Shang asked the question with some trepidation.

Jiang Wan only agreed that he could confront his parents and mutual friends.

But showing his face at this birthday banquet is essentially the same as making it public in this circle.

Jiang Wan fell into deep thought.

Besides the business representatives, there were also many other people offering birthday wishes at the banquet.

Shang Shixu's desire to go public within the industry also reflects his insecurity.

As long as his family doesn't know for the time being, Jiang Wan is willing to make it public within his social circle.

In addition, she also wanted to take this opportunity to see what Shang Shixu's family thought of her.

If it were like Di Wenjun and Tao Mengshu, she could be mentally prepared earlier.

After thinking it over, Jiang Wan nodded in agreement.

Shang Shixu's anxious heart finally settled down.

He will gradually break down her psychological defenses until she completely accepts him.

At five o'clock in the evening, Jiang Wan asked her younger brother to go out and buy cold dishes.

After getting rid of him, Shang Shixu finally left the Jiang family.

Before leaving, he and Jiang Wan agreed to go somewhere the next day.

Jiang Wan asked where, but he didn't say.

My curiosity can only be satisfied tomorrow.

It was 8 PM at the merchant's villa.

In the living room, Shang Shixu read some documents while chatting idly with his mother.

Qiao Lan, knitting a scarf, asked casually, "Your grandfather's birthday is at the end of next month, can your girlfriend come?"

"Yes," Shang Shixu replied without looking up.

Qiao Lan stopped moving, her eyes gleaming.

"Then your dad and I will have to think carefully about what kind of gift to give you."

Shang Shixu glanced over and reminded her in a deep voice, "Don't go overboard, she'll be embarrassed."

Qiao Lan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom knows what she's doing."

"Oh, by the way, your second uncle asked me to pass on a message to you."

"Your cousin will be attending the birthday banquet. He's not very sociable and doesn't know many people, so please keep an eye on him."

Upon hearing this, Shang Shixu responded.

He had almost forgotten that he had a cousin.

The last time we met was at my grandmother's funeral, which was five or six years ago.

The business sequence should be complete; continue processing the documents.

Qiao Lan started gossiping to herself.

"You said your second uncle and your cousin, who are clearly father and son, how come they still can't get close after all these years?"

Shang Shixu said in a nonchalant tone, "It's normal that we're not close because I wasn't raised by my side when I was little."

Qiao Lan sighed and reminisced about what happened back then.

"You can't entirely blame your second uncle."

"Back then, your cousin was three years old. Your second uncle and aunt were arguing over a small matter, and neither of them was willing to back down."

"Thus, the cold war escalated into a breakdown in the relationship, ultimately leading to divorce."

"After the divorce, your second aunt took the child abroad in a fit of anger and cut off all contact with your second uncle."

"We fought several international lawsuits, but we still couldn't win back custody."

"Because of this, your second uncle will not get married again."

"I heard your second aunt didn't remarry while she was abroad."

"It wasn't until a few years ago, before she passed away from an illness, that she finally agreed to let your cousin return to the business."

Given Qiao Lan's personality, she couldn't understand why two people in love wouldn't back down.

You wait for me to bow my head, and I'll wait for you to bow your head.

In the end, love turned into hate.

Thinking of her son's strong personality, she couldn't help but give him some advice.

"Son, you must never be like your second uncle!"

Shang Shixu's thin lips were slightly curved, and his brows were full of confidence.

"Don't worry, I'll back down."

"My wife and I will only love each other more than you and Dad."

Qiao Lan: "..."

have been offended.

She told herself that this was her biological child.

Meanwhile, in Zhijiang County.

Jiang Wan sat at the table, working diligently.

The picture albums were laid out on the bookshelf.

She wrote the introduction while researching information.

Because of her limited knowledge of art, Jiang Wan wrote down her thoughts almost entirely by guessing from the available materials.

At 10 p.m., Shang Shixu called.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm at work. My employer is having an art exhibition next month and needs me to write descriptions for each painting."

"Will you give me a theme?" Shang Shixu asked curiously.

"No, my job is to understand the artist's creative process by looking at their paintings without communicating with them."

"It's very difficult."

Shang Shixu narrowed his phoenix eyes.

"So, you were able to pass the interview because you were on the same wavelength as the creator?"

Jiang Wan felt that there was something strange about what he said.

"You're not even jealous of this, are you?"

eat!

Shang Shixu felt a pang of sadness welling up inside.

But we cannot admit it.

Admitting it would only make Jiang Wan think I'm petty.

Moreover, she won this job after overcoming numerous obstacles.

Asking her to quit is unrealistic and would make her feel disrespected.

Shang Shixu exhaled a breath of stale air, trying to suppress the sour feeling.

"No, I was just asking."

Jiang Wan could tell he was bothered, but she went along with it and didn't continue the topic.

If we were to really lay it all out, they'd probably have a fight.

Because, given Shang Shixu's personality, she would definitely resign.

But he refrained from posting it, probably because he put himself in the other person's shoes.

Jiang Wan curled her lips into a smile, unable to resist teasing him.

"elder brother."

"Um."

Have you taken a shower?

"not yet."

"Do you need to take a shower later?"

"wash."

"What's wrong?"

The timing of the business cycle is uncertain.

The next second, a girl's sweet voice rang out.

"Show me the live stream."
