Chapter 1136: Chapter 671: Natural Intimacy, Caring for Empty-Nest Elders
Tang Wan was comforting her child at home when her phone vibrated, and it was Jiang Jinsang who reminded her.
It was some of her classmates, seemingly wanting to invite her to dinner or perhaps visit her at home.
"Sorry, Iâm just out of my confinement period, work is especially busy, I probably wonât have time to meet you guys. How about I treat you to dinner when I return to Pingjiang?"
Tang Wan politely declined, and the few of them didnât have much to say, they chatted briefly and hung up the phone.
"Donât want to see them?" Jiang Jinsang looked at her.
"We werenât exactly close to begin with. I remember they attended the full-month banquet, and if they have any happy events in the future, Iâll definitely reciprocate the gesture. As for other things, letâs forget about it."
Nobodyâs foolish. Tang Wan knew that having this meal would likely lead to them asking her for favors, but she just runs a small studio, canât really help them with anything, itâs mostly because of the Jiang Familyâs connections in Beijing.
Weâre all adults in society, sometimes you can guess what people think, having a few close friends is enough, and some people arenât necessary to have deep connections with.
"Traveling such a long way to see you, rejecting them like this, surely theyâll gossip about you in private."
"I canât control that. Right now, I just hope our Xiaowai grows up quickly." Tang Wan said as she kissed the little guyâs face twice.
The little tree of Xiaowaiâs neck seemed to be in a good mood.
And Jiang Jinsang then said, "I also hope he grows up quickly, so he doesnât need to sleep in our room anymore."
Jiang Xiaowai: "..."
While Tang Wanâs body isnât quite ready for anything too intimate, but now she is out of confinement, the couple lying together inevitably is a bit more cuddly, but as long as Jiang Jinsang turns his head, he sees his son lying next to them, even if he was feeling rather enthusiastic, heâd lose it instantly.
"By the way, whatâs going on with Fourth Brother?" Tang Wan, although busy with her son, wasnât oblivious.
"Heâs silly and clueless."
After todayâs observation, he could almost confirm that Jiang Chengsi was single, and...
It was truly his own doing.
"He and âMiss Xiaoâ are..."
Before Tang Wan could finish, the little tree of Xiaowaiâs neck suddenly twisted for some reason and began to cry, causing Tang Wan to lose her train of thought and forget to bring up this topic again.

Jiang Chengsi on his end, the two probably didnât know what to eat, thus went to a nearby chain hotpot restaurant.
Just walking in, there was a rich spicy aroma, the soup base was boiling, steam rising, creating a layer of mist on the windows.
"Two guests?" The waiter glanced at the two, mainly because it was rare to see someone come to eat in a racing suit, and with Jiang Chengsiâs face, it attracted quite a bit of attention upon entering.
"Yes, give us a private room."
"Follow me upstairs, please."
Once they entered the private room, it instantly became quiet. Itâs a four-person private room, originally, the two were sitting across from each other, separated by a copper pot in the middle. The waiter handed over the menu for them to mark.
"You go ahead." Jiang Chengsi handed the menu over; a bit of gentlemanly demeanor was necessary.
"You start." She responded politely.
Jiang Chengsi arched his brow, glancing at her, "Come over here."
What did he mean? She leaned a bit forward, thinking he would do something.
"Sit over here." Jiang Chengsi pointed to the spot beside him, "Sit closer, we can order it together."
She pressed her lips together and sat next to him. She took charge of marking the menu, and once the waiter served hot tea, they left the room. Jiang Chengsi sipped his tea, watching her as she marked the menu.
Things they both liked to eat were fairly similar.
This "Miss Xiao" marked a few dishes and noticed he hadnât spoken up, so she turned to look at him.
Perhaps she hadnât expected the two of them to be this close, he was drinking tea, his breath infused with the heat of the tea spreading all around, his other hand tugged the collar of his shirt, his messy hair, unkempt, lazy, and just looked at her like that.
"What is it?" Jiang Chengsi looked at her, "Keep going."
"Alright." She lowered her head.
"Add a serving of lamb roll, it seems to be a signature dish, should be pretty good."
He was so close that when he spoke, she felt a kind of heat dispersing around her ears.
Her ears couldnât help but turn red-hot.
The two ordered a yin-yang hotpot, the store was already warm enough, along with the hotpotâs heat, it quickly made one feel flushed and sweaty.
Jiang Chengsi had long taken off his outer racing suit, underneath he was wearing a rather thin casual shirt, exuding a sense of laziness all over.
Out of the corner of his eye, he watched the person beside him, she was taking off her scarf, her coat, underneath she was wearing a light pink sweater, fuzzy, her face was flushed red from the heat, gentle and beautiful.
