Chapter 378: 246 Becoming a Landlady, Wuye’s Flirtatious Confession (Two More Chapters)_2

Feeling the band being tied, Jiang Jinsang no longer acted as before. Embracing her from behind, the entire world went dark, and Tang Wan began to panic a little, raising her hand to touch him, "Jinsang?"

At that moment, Jiang Jinsang stood right behind her. She only needed to turn around and reach out to easily catch him. He watched as Tang Wan grabbed the corner of his clothes and, with careful probing, took hold of his arms before she finally relaxed slightly.

"Why aren’t you speaking?"

In the darkness, the only thing Tang Wan could cling to was him.

But in the next second...

She felt someone lean closer, their warm breath cascading across her face, causing her heart to suspend once again. He nudged against her with his nose, almost as if...

It was as near as could be, as if to hook her very soul away.

When sight is taken, the remaining senses are infinitely magnified.

She could almost feel her wildly frantic heartbeat, as though it wanted to burst through the fine ribs in front of her chest. Her fingers unconsciously tightened around his clothes.

"Jinsang?" Tang Wan didn’t know what he intended to do, naturally becoming tense.

They were so close, only distant car sounds could be heard. Jiang Jinsang’s gaze fell on her rosy lips, his eyes darkened, and his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly...

He wanted to kiss her.

Jiang Jinsang lifted her chin, scrutinizing carefully. He rubbed his nose against hers, a teasing almost-kiss, and Tang Wan, unnerved by his actions, reacted awkwardly, brushing against the corner of his mouth. Jiang Jinsang, propelled by a surge, bent forward...

Even though she couldn’t see, Tang Wan could feel his urgency.

She was too passive; it felt as if something inside her exploded.

A vast expanse of white.

...

Outside the alley at this moment, Jiang Cuo couldn’t help but sneeze, "Didn’t we agree to bring the person out? What are those two doing dilly-dallying in the alley?"

As nightfall enveloped everything, from the entrance of the alley, one could only see overlapping silhouettes of the two, unclear in their specific actions.

After Jiang Jinsang pulled away, he lifted her hand, his fingertip brushing across her bright red lips, leading her out of the alley, "Come with me."

Tang Wan blushed thoroughly.

She couldn’t see what was outside clearly and could only grasp his hand tightly, while he informed her of any steps in front of them, until they seemed to enter a building and then an elevator.

There were a few stumbles at first.

"Don’t worry, I’m here; I won’t let you fall." Jiang Jinsang’s voice stayed close by her ear, his fingers firmly clasping hers.

Tang Wan couldn’t see the numbers jumping on the elevator display, nor did she know how much time had passed, until a "ding—" signified the elevator doors opening, and he led her out. She could sense that they had entered a very spacious place, for their footsteps echoed slightly.

"Okay, stop here." Even Jiang Jinsang’s gentle voice carried a hint of echo in the empty room.

Since she was blindfolded, there must be a surprise. Tang Wan’s heart maintained a high-intensity beat, reaching a peak at this moment, her breath stilled as she felt his fingers slowly undoing the ribbon tied behind her...

As the ribbon fell from in front of her eyes, she was greeted by the neon lights; not far off, several tall buildings seemed to form the shape of "I love you."

The lights of the buildings scrolled...

All carrying the joyful message of "I love you."

"When we confirmed our relationship overseas, it always felt a little hasty to me. I thought of many things to say, many scripts for confessing to you."

Tang Wan’s face was illuminated brilliantly by the lights, her eyes full of the "I love you" amid the neon, a romantic gesture no girl could resist.

He reached out, wrapping his arms around her from behind, murmuring in her ear with a low voice:

"But after thinking it over, I still feel..."

"I love you."

"It’s the most touching, and the most genuine."

It was as if fireworks exploded in her head, that immense joy overwhelming her completely, leaving her momentarily incapable of thought.

And following that, the surrounding lights turned on, revealing that this seemingly empty space was actually an office area, complete with desks and computers already set up.

"This is..."

"You left behind everything in Pingjiang to come to me; I also want to give you the best," Jiang Jinsang pulled a box from his pocket and handed it to her, "Inside is the key."

"How long is the lease? This location..."

Seeing the neon lights, Tang Wan realized that this building was within the inner ring, such a large office area, with its decoration and furnishings, all accounted for, wasn’t a small amount of expense.

"It’s not rented, it’s mine."

"You bought it?"

"Previous investments..."

"Investments?"

Tang Wan was baffled. He had investments?

After returning home, Jiang Jinsang took out a bunch of property deeds from the safe and the cabinet; Tang Wan was absolutely stunned. noveldrama

Was he a house-buying maniac? Shops, apartments, and even entire buildings...

"My mother always felt that, given my health, I probably wouldn’t be like my elder brother, doing business and such, so she bought me quite a few shops and properties, saying that even by just collecting rent, I wouldn’t starve..."

"After all, the property is there, even if it depreciates, selling it could still bring in quite a bit of money."

"The locations she chose are all prime spots, and the value of some of these properties has already quadrupled or quintupled in the past few years."

Tang Wan suddenly felt that by marrying him, even if she didn’t work, she could be a landlady.

...

Meanwhile, the light show at the Beijing Building saying "I love you" had already been screenshot by numerous netizens and posted online.

"Who went all out like this, with everything saying ’I love you’? So romantic."

"I got some insider info from a friend, apparently, it’s Jiang Fifth Master who rented it out to propose to his fiancée."

"Just like that live stream before, it must be nice to have money."

...

Jiang Jinsang’s declaration had caused quite a stir, and many people in Beijing now knew about it.

Even Old Master Qi didn’t know where he got the news, looking at Qi Zeyan, "Look at Xiaowu, you should learn from him. Look at how he goes after his girl."

"How to chase? With no shame."

"You don’t even have a girl to chase, what do you need your face for!"

Qi Zeyan found himself speechless, literally choked by the retort.

"And also, you should hang out less with that kid Jiang Chengsi recently, I really don’t know what you two are up to?"

"I..." Qi Zeyan, caught between laughter and tears, "What can we two brothers do, just have a drink, what’s the problem? You should stop reading all that nonsense every day."

"You could find a girl to spend time with after work, why always with him!"

Driven to exasperation, Qi Zeyan blurted out, "What if I don’t want to play with girls, alright!"

Old Master Qi’s face changed in an instant, "Qiqi? What did you just say?"

"It’s nothing."

...

Qi Zeyan felt it was all so nonsensical; he had nothing to do with Jiang Chengsi, but such things were hard to explain without making a fuss, otherwise, it’d seem like a guilty conscience.

His old man must have lost his mind!

Ruan Mengxi was also browsing Weibo, excited at the sight, not wanting to disturb Tang Wan’s good news, she simply sent her a message: _{freew\e bnovel.com}

[Who knew Fifth Master could be this romantic? Here I was thinking about how to fight with a man for a husband, truly sour.]

Tang Wan merely glanced at the message and didn’t reply, looking at the property deeds scattered over the bed and then at Jiang Jinsang.

"Are they all yours?"

Jiang Jinsang just smiled, "They’re yours too."
