Chapter 136 The Conflict Beneath the Sweetness is Uncovered

Jiang Wan opened the door and went to her younger brother's room to give him instructions.

"Shang Shixu hasn't left yet, I'm going out to chat for a while."

"Go ahead, don't chat for too long, Mom and Dad will be home at 11 o'clock."

"it is good."

Jiang Wan walked to the entrance hall, opened the door, and saw Shang Shixu standing opposite her.

She closed the door. "Why didn't you leave?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the man opened the door opposite him without warning.

Jiang Wan was stunned on the spot.

Seeing that she didn't move, Shang Shixu took her hand and led her into the house.

"Bang."

The door was closed.

A man's pleasant voice rang out above Jiang Wan's head.

"I bought this place, aren't you surprised?"

Her lips stiffened.

I didn't feel any joy.

I was certainly surprised.

Seeing his enthusiasm, Jiang Wan swallowed her thoughts and nodded.

Shang Shixu assumed she was still confused and hadn't noticed anything amiss, so he started a new topic.

"You told your brother?"

Jiang Wan composed herself and said, "Yes, I did."

"What did you say?"

Shang Shixu led her by the hand and sat her down on the sofa.

After Jiang Wan sat down, she slowly began to speak.

"I told him about your identity and how we met online."

"However, I concealed the deal with Gu Manning, and in the end, I asked him to keep the secret for the time being."

Upon hearing that it was to be kept a secret, Shang Shixu felt a lump in his throat.

Okay, I knew it wouldn't be that easy to meet the parents.

He squeezed Jiang Wan's fingertips. "What time are your parents coming back?"

"Around eleven o'clock."

Shang Shixu glanced at his watch. "It's ten o'clock now. We can stay for another hour."

"Let me show you around here."

Jiang Wan followed in his footsteps and began her tour.

Although the room layout was basically the same as her home, the decorations were completely different.

This doesn't look like an old neighborhood at all.

After shopping, Jiang Wan returned to the sofa and sat down. Shang Shixu turned on the speaker and played some relaxing sweet songs.

The melodious tune made the atmosphere even more relaxing.

He opened a bottle of red wine, poured two glasses, and pushed one glass in front of Jiang Wan.

"Try it."

Jiang Wan picked it up and took a sip. "Delicious!"

"Drink less, it's quite strong."

Jiang Wan nodded, deciding to take advantage of the pleasant atmosphere and quickly bring up the work-related matters.

"Brother...I have something to tell you."

"you say."

During the Shang Dynasty, one should listen attentively.

"I got promoted today."

"Good news." He said casually, "What position have you been promoted to?"

Jiang Wan didn't directly say the word "assistant," but instead talked about her job duties.

"Now I'm not only a writer, but I'm also responsible for coordinating Bai Mu's art exhibitions in July and August."

Shang Shixu's smile vanished.

The relaxed atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse.

Even the most melodious music couldn't lift the spirits of the somber mood.

He put down his wine glass, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Personal assistant?"

Jiang Wan shook her head, "It's not a personal matter! I'm just responsible for liaison work, passing on messages and running errands."

"It's only a two-month summer vacation, but you can earn 72,000."

She wanted to minimize the impact and gain his understanding.

But it didn't have much effect.

The Shang Dynasty, like a vinegar vat overturned, was nearly drowned by the sourness surging in from all directions.

He turned off the stereo, and without the soothing music, the atmosphere became even more tense.

"Why didn't you discuss it with me first?"

The tone wasn't harsh, but the momentum was strong.

Jiang Wan subconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes and muttered softly.

Even if I discuss it with you, you'll only tell me to refuse.

Although the sound was soft, without music, every word reached the man's ears.

His gaze was sharp as he fired off a series of questions.

"If you already know, why did you agree?"

"Didn't you ever consider my feelings?"

Jiang Wan felt a surge of grievance, accompanied by a sense of irritability.

She took a deep breath and pressed down.

She met his gaze, neither humble nor arrogant.

"I agreed because I want to do this job."

"I considered your feelings, but I didn't expect you to be so angry."

"Also, if you can't accept my normal social interactions..."

"Then I will reconsider our relationship."

As soon as she finished speaking, the living room seemed to be instantly emptied into a vacuum.

As soon as she said those words, Jiang Wan's irritation subsided considerably.

The pressure suddenly eased.

She stood up, her tone both gentle and distant.

"I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep."

"Good night."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Just as I reached the door, I suddenly heard a noise behind me.

Jiang Wan was hugged from behind, and the man turned off the light switch on the wall with his other hand.

"Smack."

The entire living room was plunged into darkness in an instant.

The man put one arm around her waist and the other across her collarbone, gripping her shoulder and trapping her in his arms.

He buried his head in her neck, his voice low and hoarse.

"sorry……"

The discussion on the Shang Dynasty's timeline has stalled.

My body is like a dry towel, you can't wring out a drop of moisture.

Jiang Wan sensed his sob and her nose suddenly stung.

Since they became a couple, his relentless pursuit has left her filled with anxiety and fear.

And there's also dealing with his occasional fits of jealousy.

This is not a state that can develop healthily.

Jiang Wan believes her views on love are within the normal range, but Shang Shixu's are somewhat pathological.

They'll eat any kind of vinegar.

She can't even accept her normal social relationships.

If I compromise this time, countless more compromises await me in the future.

She didn't want to be a caged canary.

Therefore, if the relationship is to last, he has to make changes.

Jiang Wan sighed and decided to say a few more words from her heart to him.

A soft voice rang out in the dim light.

"elder brother."

"You are the first boy I've ever had a crush on."

"I hope we can stay together for a long time."

"But I've said from the beginning that we are very different."

"I want to talk this out slowly, but you're always in such a hurry."

"If I can't keep up with your pace, I'll feel a lot of psychological pressure."

"Your sincerity gave me the courage to agree to date you, but now your domineering nature is making me want to back out."

"To be honest, you like me, but I don't feel much respect from you."

"What you want is complete possession, but what I want is mutual trust and respect."

"Perhaps you think you've been tolerant enough, but I feel you're far from it."

"So, let's all calm down first."

"Let's talk about it again tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person behind him stirred.

He turned her around in his arms.

He grasped her arms with both hands, leaned down to her eye level,

In the dim light, they faced each other, unable to see each other's eyes.

Jiang Wan felt his burning gaze.

After staring at each other for three or four seconds, he suddenly spoke.

Give me some time, and I will love you in a way that you can accept.

"I will restrain my possessiveness and give you more respect that you can feel."

"Can we kiss now and make up...?"

Regardless, Shang Shixu was determined not to let Jiang Wan spend the night with negative emotions.

Otherwise, all his efforts would be greatly diminished.

Seeing that he had taken a stand, Jiang Wan was willing to reconcile for the time being. As for whether she could actually do it, she would have to see how he behaved in the future.

After she hummed in agreement, she was suddenly lifted up in a koala-like hug.

Jiang Wan instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, and a kiss followed.

Hot and humid, intensely tender.

His kiss was gentle and restrained, lacking his usual forcefulness.

A kiss after a fight has a special flavor.

At the end, Shang Shixu lingered and sucked on her tongue, as if still wanting more.

Jiang Wan felt a tingling sensation in her body from the final sucking, and went limp in his arms.

Shang Shixu joked, "Little pajamas."

Jiang Wan snorted, "You filthy scoundrel."

This familiar feeling brought a sweet warmth to both of their hearts.

*

The next day.

Warm sunlight streamed through the curtains and directly onto the bed.

My phone rang.

Jiang Wan opened her sleepy eyes and picked up her phone.

The note indicates the time sequence.

She pressed the answer button, and the man's familiar, cold voice came through.

"I received a notification that the exam has been moved up."

"I need to go to the airport now, would you like to take me?"

Jiang Wan was wide awake.

"Wait for me, I'm coming out right away!"
