Chapter 257: When a man from the Jiang Family becomes saucy, he is irresistible_2 She turned around, using her elbow to push against him, trying to create sdistance between them. Jiang Yanting lowered his eyes and watched her. He suddenly reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, looking at her earnestly, "Before, you said you couldn't face me. Can you now?" Her eyes, black as ink, shone breathtakingly bright. Shen Zhixian wanted to dodge, but before her lower back could touch the Liuli Platform, he wrapped his arm around her, and Shen Zhixian was left feeling frustrated.

However, Jiangjiang was still outside, and between the kitchen and the living room was a glass door that couldn't block any sound. She dared not raise her voice, so she could only look up and glare at him.

"Ready to look at me?" "If you nod..." his fingers suddenly slid down her face, pinching her chin and lifting it slightly. His eyes, pitch black, stared intently at her, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, "Then I am your husband..." "And Jiangjiang is your son." Shen Zhixian's face turned slightly red, her heart pounding as if it would burst from her chest.

She knew that if this man started to seduce, no one could withstand him! But Jiang Yanting didn't force her to make any decisions. He knew her mind was in turmoil. The fingers around her waist tightened slightly, and their bodies instantly pressed closer...

He leaned his head down and gently touched her forehead.

"There's no rush. We'll take it slow." He gently ruffled her hair with his fingers, now a little further from her, "Is there anything here you need help with?" With the man's oppressive presence gone, Shen Zhixian felt as if she had cback to life. Her heart was still racing quickly. After spacing out for a moment, she gave him stasks.

Jiang Yanting took off his coat, the white shirt and dark golden sleeve garters giving him an abstinent yet elite demeanor. He rolled up his sleeves slightly. He didn't know how to cook and was even clumsy at helping with chopping vegetables, but his posture was correct.

"Don't mention anything about Jiangjiang to others yet." Shen Zhixian looked at the person beside her.

"I know." At this moment, it was still unclear who within the Xie Family was the culprit. The fact that someone could have been so heartless back then and still hide it well now demonstrated deep cunning and scheming. With the enemy in the dark and them in the light, it wouldn't be appropriate to go public without conclusive evidence of who was responsible for the past events.

"That..." Shen Zhixian coughed, "Does Jiangjiang know I am his..." "He knows." "What about his side?" "Nobody takes a child's words seriously. Even if he changes his tune and calls you 'Mom,' others will just think he's particularly fond of you. He even wanted to setup with Miss Tang, to have her as his stepmother." Recalling how he had adamantly tried to set him up with Tang Wan before, but today ran away for an "auntie,” Jiang Yanting couldn't help but chuckle, thinking of his stubborn little duckling.

"Miss Tang?" Shen Zhixian pursed her lips, "Tang Wan?" "Right." "How did this..." "So what he says doesn't matter." Shen Zhixian nodded, "So when you said you wanted to taketo meet someone today, it was..." "I wanted to take you to watch Jiangjiang's soccer match. He plays soccer quite well." Shen Zhixian lowered her eyes, naturally feeling regretful for not having seen her son's match.

"There will be more opportunities in the future." Jiang Yanting, on the other hand, was relieved that Shen Zhixian hadn't gone with him today. Otherwise, if they had driven there, they would have nearly run into the incident where Jiangjiang got into a fight, and that kid probably wouldn't have had the face to see anyone.

Thinking of the fight, running away from home, Jiang Yanting naturally thought of Jiang Chengsi... Teaching the kid tricks like making noise in the east to strike in the west, luring the tiger away from the mountain? What on earth had he been instilling in his son! At this moment, Jiangjiang suddenly slid open the moving glass door, "That... that..." "What's wrong?" Shen Zhixian thought he needed something and hurriedly dried her hands.

"Your phone is ringing." Her mobile phone was on the outside coffee table, and Jiangjiang wanted to call her to answer it, but the word "Mom" simply wouldn't cout of his mouth. He was hemming and hawing, his face turning red.

"Mhm, thank you..." Shen Zhixian extended her hand to ruffle his hair and then turned to answer the phone. It was a call from Elder Xie.

"Hey - Uncle." Shen Zhixian's biological father was the younger brother of Xie Family's elder, so it was proper for him to call him uncle.

"Did I hear that you and Yanting had dinner together, and the Jiang Family's little ancestor was there too?" The elder's voice was full of laughter.

"Um." "I've told you before, Yanting is not bad, don't beat someone down with a stick without getting to know them. You should give it a try. Since he knows about your situation and still comes to find you, it shows that he truly doesn't care. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You too can have your own happiness, you know?" Shen Zhixian nodded, "I know." "Alright then, I won't bother you two anymore." After the elder hung up the phone, Shen Zhixian zoned out for a while, mentally filtering through the Xie Family's members. Whenever he thought of the past events related to them, he couldn't help but feel unsettled at heart.

At this moment in the Xie Family home, after hanging up the phone, the elder had a completely satisfied smile on his face.

"Dad, they really went to eat together? And with that child from the Jiang Family?" Du Jinglan cout of the kitchen and saw her father nod repeatedly, then burst into laughter, "That's pretty good, isn't it? With one more person taking care of her, I can rest easy." "Didn't your cousin say before that she didn't want to have contact with Second Master Jiang? She left the hospital early to avoid him, so why did they go to have a meal together?" Xie Tongtong was somewhat puzzled.

"Matters of the heart are unpredictable, as long as your cousin is happy, that's all that matters. She hasn't had it easy," Du Jinglan said with a laugh.

Xie Tongtong pursed her lips, then turned to look at her older brother, "Brother, why aren't you saying anything? It seems like you're not too happy about cousin and Second Master Jiang going out to eat!” Xie Duo simply adjusted his glasses, "Do I look unhappy?" Xie Tongtong earnestly nodded.

"The young lad isn't worried about your cousin dating Yanting. He's concerned that if these two really get together, he'll have to call Jiang Yanting 'uncle'," the elder laughed as he spoke. The content is on ped ννοταιν novelenglish.net! It seemed that Xie Tongtong suddenly got the point, and she laughed so hard that tears nearly burst out.

She had witnessed firsthand how competitive these two were. Back when they were in school, Xie Duo's target was never to be the first in the grade but to surpass Jiang Yanting.

To reluctantly bechis uncle was definitely a hard pill to swallow.

Xie Duo, sitting to one side, just wanted to shut himself off from the world.

** Meanwhile, at the hospital

Jiang Jinsang finished his IV drip around two in the afternoon. Tang Wan had gone to the hospitaP M canteen, grabbed slight porridge to cushion his stomach, planning to get him something proper to eat after leaving the hospital. "You should be resting, why are you still playing with your phone?" Tang Wan brought the porridge back only to find him propped up in bed on his phone.

"There's something I need to handle."

"By the way, what's the deal with Second Master Jiang and Teacher Shen? Teacher Shep didn't even m know about Jiangjiang's existence?" The old lady couldn't wait to broadcast it to the world, so naturally, Tang Wan also received the news. "There must be quite a few twists and turns in this, right?" "Someone's been meddling? The Xie Family?" Tang Wan guessed entirely based on intuition.

"Almost certainly." "What do we do now?" “Let's keep this quiet for now, so as not to startle the snake. We'll have someone look into it." "It needs to be someone extremely reliable. Otherwise, if word gets out and they realize she has a connection with Second Master and Jiangjiang, history might repeat itself." After all, if there indeed had been a mastermind back then, the malice of their intentions and the depth of their concealment were apparent.

Jiang Jinsang nodded, "I've found the right person." "Then that's settled." Tang Wan didn't ask for too many details, as long as Jiang Yanting trusted them.

"Fourth Brother happens to be competing nearby." Tang Wan's fingers paused. Get him?
