Chapter 147: 125 Date? The two elders join forces to stir things up! (2 more updates)_2

Fan Mingyu used to be a singer, familiar with some people in the singing and opera circles, so it wasn’t surprising.

But the ones she knew were probably not just anybody, so Tang Wan was a bit nervous...

Just as she was unsure how to start the conversation, Jiang Jinsang suddenly spoke up.

"She’s busy tomorrow."

Everyone’s gaze in the living room instantly shot toward him. Jiang Jinsang remained quite composed, casually adjusting the thin blanket on his legs. "Why are you all looking at me?"

The old lady tilted her head towards Tang Wan, "Do you have plans tomorrow?"

Tang Wan was confused; she didn’t know anything about it.

"Xiaowu?" Fan Mingyu inquired, "What’s going on?"

Jiang Jinsang looked at Tang Wan, "Didn’t you agree with me before that you were free tomorrow, so I’d show you around Beijing?"

Tang Wan vaguely remembered something of that sort.

The gazes of the few people in the living room instantly changed, especially Fan Mingyu. On one hand, she lamented that her pig was finally starting to root for lotus roots, yet on the other hand, it was also a bit sorrowful.

In the past, he wouldn’t even agree to accompany her for a stroll citing weakness and discomfort, not wanting to move, and she couldn’t force him. But now... well.

With everyone giving each other strange looks, Jiang Jinsang further explained:

"When I was in Pingjiang, you also showed me around, just returning the favor."

Everyone appeared to suddenly understand, but their little expressions all said: We get it, no need to explain!

The old lady coughed, "Since you’ve made prior arrangements, I’ll take you to the opera another day, Wanwan. You should follow Xiaowu tomorrow, have a good time in Beijing. There are many fun places; leave early so you can visit more spots."

"If it weren’t for my health, I’d like to go for a walk too," Tang Lao said, laughing.

Fan Mingyu added, "Wanwan, have you ever seen the flag-raising? Do you want to experience it? But you’d have to get up exceptionally early because it’s an hour and a half drive from home, and getting up early in the deep winter is really hard."

Speaking of the flag-raising, Tang Wan was indeed a bit tempted.

Seeing that she was quite interested, the old lady directly suggested, "Why don’t you guys leave after dinner to enjoy the night scene of Beijing, then find a hotel nearby to stay in? That way, you won’t need to get up so early tomorrow."

Tang Wan furrowed her brows: What?

Stay overnight?

Fan Mingyu coughed twice to remind the old lady of the family: even if you’re giving a push, there’s a limit.

The old lady said with a smile, patting Tang Wan’s hand, "I’m just kidding, haha..."

At that moment, the few people in the living room all seemed to wish the two could just marry on the spot, get the certificate right there, having heard that the couple was going on a "date" tomorrow, they were certainly fueling the fire to their best.

But when Tang Yunxian came over, seeing everyone chatting happily, he asked, "What’s making everyone so cheerful?"

The old lady simply said, "We were discussing my brooch, Wanwan’s craftsmanship is indeed excellent."

Everyone immediately echoed along, and Tang Yunxian naturally thought nothing further...

Early the next day

Tang Yunxian had to go to the hospital to collect the old master’s health check report. He got up very early and had originally planned to call Tang Wan, for them to go for a walk and bring back some breakfast.

The phone connected, "Wanwan, haven’t woken up yet?"

"Father, do you need something?"

"I thought you’d wake up early, and we’d go out to get something to eat." It is rude to simply open your mouth and ask for food at someone else’s house.

"But I’m already out."

"You’re out?" Tang Yunxian looked outside, the days are short in winter, and it was just beginning to dawn. What was she doing out so early?

"I’m out with Brother Wu to watch the flag-raising."

"..."

"Father, why aren’t you saying anything?"

"Nothing, just have a good time."

During this time, Tang Wan had also been extremely busy; as her father, he should have been happy that she was going out to relax. However, for some reason, he just couldn’t bring himself to be happy, feeling something strange about it all.

It was suffocating!

After hanging up the phone, Tang Wan’s car was almost at Tian’anmen. When she stepped out of the car, a chill rushed into her lungs, and she couldn’t help but shiver. But in the next moment, someone embraced her from behind...

A thin blanket fell over her shoulders.

"Wrap this around you; it’s warmer." Jiang Jinsang’s posture as he draped the blanket over her was like holding her tightly from behind. Tang Wan stretched her hands to wrap the blanket around herself and whispered her thanks.

"Let’s go, it’ll soon get crowded and we’ll miss the best viewing spot." Jiang Jinsang led her forward.

Jiang Cuo, following behind, couldn’t help but sneeze, glancing out of the corner of his eye to see Jiang Jiu actually wearing a military coat, and couldn’t help but frown, "You’re wearing so much?"

"Cold," Jiang Jiu adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Oh my, I’m freezing to death," Jiang Cuo coughed, his implication clear: you’re so bundled up, can’t you share one with me?

But Jiang Jiu’s reply almost made him explode with anger:

"If you catch a cold, take leave and stay at home. Don’t pass it on to me, let alone Grandpa; his health isn’t good."

"I swear, I’ll kick you if you don’t believe me!" Jiang Cuo, being shorter and having fewer legs, was chasing after him in a trot.

Tang Wan had only seen the flag-raising on TV before, but witnessing it in person was stirring, staring intently at the slow ascent of the national flag. Jiang Jinsang watched for a while and then turned to gaze firmly at her.

"Is it any different from what you expected?"

"It feels more thrilling."

"When it gets warmer, if you want to watch it again, I can bring you here anytime."

"When it gets warmer, I’ll have returned to Pingjiang."

"Is staying in Beijing not good?" Jiang Jinsang spoke softly, the north wind carrying his words away...

"What did you say?" Tang Wan only heard the last part, something about good or not?

"Nothing, I was asking what you’d like to eat, we’ll get breakfast soon."

...

Meanwhile, at the Jiang Family’s dining table, Jiangjiang came downstairs rather late, "Haven’t uncle and sister come down yet?"

The old lady smiled, "Your uncle took her to see the flag-raising."

Jiangjiang bit her lip and huffed as she bit into her bun: I’m not angry at all, not jealous at all!

Tang Lao and the old lady had gone out for a morning stroll and had already come to a consensus on matchmaking the two, suddenly they looked at each other and smiled...

Jiang Yanting observed the situation, feeling that these two were about to start up with their schemes!
