The autumn wind was supposed to cool down the night, but Tang Wan felt that it was rather stuffy on her body.

She walked side by side with Jiang Jinshang. No matter how much she tried to keep her distance, it was inevitable that her arms and his arms would rub against each other.

“I heard from Grandpa Tang today that you went out to meet the partner of the studio. Do you have a new job?” His voice was as usual, cold and restrained.

“Yes, but grandpa’s health isn’t too stable. It’s going to be cold soon. I can’t put my heart at ease with him. I’m afraid he won’t be able to work in peace.” As the saying went, winter was an extremely dangerous time for older folks.

“You’re very filial…” his voice paused for two seconds before he added.

“That’s great.”

The bodyguards looked up into the sky speechless.

He was so close to saying, “I like it.”

Tang Wan’s heart trembled slightly, but her voice didn’t sound affected at all. “These are all things that should be done. It’s our duty.”

The front hall wasn’t far from the east courtyard to begin with, so they arrived after a few exchanges.

“Fifth Master, the bathroom in your room has been checked today. There shouldn’t be any problems. You can rest well tonight. Then… good night,” Tang Wan said with a smile.

“Good night.” Jiang Jinshang didn’t say anything else.

***

Tang Wan went back to her room and looked at the email from her work partner.

Regarding the historical drama that was mentioned earlier in the day, the cast were superstars of period drams. The lead actors were A-list celebrities. Even if the supporting roles were brought out, they could still stand alone.

The lineup was luxurious, so naturally, the costumes and props were more refined.

Tang Wan wouldn’t simply take this kind of job. The pressure was too great, but with such a top-notch configuration, she was definitely tempted. The contract had many requirements for the headdress. She took a rough look, she was going to take a shower before seriously studying it.

After taking a shower, she ran to the study to get some reference books. The historical drama was based on the history of Qing Dynasty. Only by understanding the life of each concubine could she design the headdress according to their age.

Only then did she realize that she had left her book in Jiang Jinshang’s room.

Her interest in work was aroused, and she did not want to be interrupted at this time. She hesitated and sent a message to Jiang Jinshang:

[ Fifth Master, are you asleep? ]

Actually, the light in his room was still on.

However, the message was like a stone sinking into the ocean. It was already so late, so she could not directly knock on the door. She could only wait patiently.

About ten minutes later, he returned with a call. “I’m not asleep yet? I was taking a shower just now. What’s up?”

“I left my books in your room.”

Jiang Jinshang’s hair was still dripping with water. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the few Qing history books on the bedside table. “Well, they’re here. Do you need me to send them over?”

“It’s quite cold outside. You’ve just taken a shower. I’ll go.” How could she have the nerve to ask someone to personally bring her things.

“Yes, I’ll wait for you.”

After hanging up, Jiang Jinshang looked at the people in the room. His gaze was clearly hinting at them.

Be quick and do what you need to do!

“Master, it’s time for us to go to bed. Call us if you need anything.”

“Haha — Yes, I’m too tired!” They had gone to help him get a yard full of flowers before dawn. It was indeed very tiring.

Jiang Jinshang’s gaze was indifferent. “You’ve been following me for quite a while now. You know my rules…”

Do more, watch less, hear less, and gossip less.

This was a disguised warning to them not to let others know about certain things.

They nodded reluctantly and walked out quickly.

After a day of work, the few of them were still squatting in the corner of the courtyard and smoking a cigarette.

“Damn. Yesterday, he went to Ms. Tang’s room, and today, he brought her back to his bedroom.”

“When the family called to ask about his health, I was so scared that I didn’t dare to say anything. I could only answer yes to everything.”

“He said he would break off the engagement and instead come to the lady’s house to flirt. Have you ever seen such a flirtatious operation? He also said that even if Ms. Tang wanted to marry him, she could only be his sister-in-law?”

“Was he thinking that it would be better to have fun with one’s sister-in-law?”

They glanced at the person who spoke. One of them stuffed a half-smoked cigarette into his mouth. If someone heard these words, they would be sent to the desert to plant trees.

***

They squatted in a corner and smoked. They saw Tang Wan walk out of the door, and hesitated before knocking on the door. When they saw her enter the room, they inexplicably felt as if a sheep had entered the wolf’s den.

Public opinion in the Capital City said that their master was as intelligent as a demon. Not a single word was out of place. This demon was not a pushover.

***

After Tang Wan knocked on the door, there was only one sentence coming from inside. “Come in.”

She pushed the door open and walked in. Jiang Jinshang had just taken a shower and was wearing a light gray pajamas. It was simple, but it suited him very well. Meanwhile, his book was placed beside his hand.

“Fifth Master, I’m here to pick up the book.”

He suddenly said without thinking, “The wind at night is a little cold.”

Tang Wan had planned to leave after taking the book. It would only take about ten seconds, so after she pushed the door open and entered, she did not close the door at all.

At that moment, when she heard his words, she remembered that the doctor had reminded her to keep warm this morning, so she turned around and closed the door.

The bodyguards were originally hiding in a corner, trying to peek through the open door. When they saw that the door was closed, two words came to their minds.

Ah, shit!

What are you doing! Why did you close the door?

Tang Wan closed the door and was about to go get something. The book was handed over by Jiang Jinshang personally. At that time, the two of them were quite close to each other.

“You didn’t put on two extra clothes when you went out?” He spoke casually, as if he was gossiping about his daily life. However, every word he said had a hint of ambiguity, and it drilled into people’s hearts.

“I just took a shower, and I still feel a little hot.”

At this moment, he was a little close to her. Tang Wan could clearly feel the heat emanating from his body.

The light shone on his back, and half of his body was shrouded in shadows. He was abstinent and lazy, but he was also full of temptation.

However, from this angle, Tang Wan raised her small face slightly. The light shone on her face, her brow bones, eyelashes, and bright eyes..

Every inch of her face was clearly visible. If one looked carefully, it seemed to be etched into one’s heart.

The surroundings were so quiet that one could only hear the light breathing of the two of them.

Both of them had just taken a shower. It was gentle..

But hot air was splashing in all directions.

He held the book and leaned closer. Although he did not touch her, his breath was close to her face. Caught off guard, their gazes met.

“You seem to be very nervous every time you see me. Is the group of people following me a little scary?”

“No.” Tang Wan smiled lightly. She was not afraid of those people at all.

“Don’t worry. They have all gone back to rest. Now here…

“There’s just two of us.”

Her breathing was slow, but it was dry and hot.

Tang Wan’s heart was beating fast. Before she knew what to say, Jiang Jinshang spoke again, “Do you like the history of the Qing Dynasty?”

“Not really. It’s just that my recent work has something to do with this. I’m just taking a look around.”

“What happened during Qianlong’s reign? Actually, there are some things that you can’t do much with just looking at the official history. After all, those that can be written into the official history are definitely those that the higher-ups think can be read by future generations…”

“I know, that’s why I’m preparing to look for some other information recently.”

“What do you want to know? I should be able to recommend some.”

The bodyguards were guarding the courtyard and squatting down to place their bets. [ how long will it take for Ms. Tang to come out? ]

It was just a book. Some people placed their bets for a minute, while others said ten minutes at most. However, an hour had passed, and as the moon rose. Why was she still in his room?

***

It was about twelve o’clock when Tang Wan returned to her room with the book in her arms.

The next morning, when the bodyguards returned to their room, they discovered that Jiang Jinshang had just woken up and was making a phone call. Judging from his tone, it should be a family member. Due to his health, he did not sleep well. He usually woke up at five or six o’clock. It was so late today.., it was also rare.

“… I’m fine. I just woke up. Maybe my voice is a little hoarse.” Actually, there was another reason. He had drunk some wine yesterday.

“Just woke up?”

“I chatted a little late last night.”

Chatted?! You were alone with Ms. tang in the middle of the night, just chatting? Do you think anyone would believe you if you said that?

His big brother frowned slightly. He didn’t know if he was talking to Tang Wan, so he could only tell her the target of his suspicion.

“Is that kid bothering you?”

Jiang Jinshang only smiled and didn’t admit or deny it. “I’m going to wash up first. The Tang family is about to have breakfast. It’s not appropriate for them to wait for me.”

Then, a certain person was blacklisted by Jiang Jinshang and was suddenly targeted by his brother. He was so angry that his hair stood on ends. He directly stomped his feet and said, “He blocked my number, how am I going to harass him?”

But a certain person who was his brother only coldly said, “If you don’t harass him, why will he blacklist you?”

Oh, the logic!

That person was so angry that he was speechless.

These two brothers were out of their minds!
