Although Tang Wan couldn’t agree with her grandfather’s way of doing things, as the host, she still had to take the initiative and be enthusiastic.

After all, the Tang family wasn’t a hotel, and they’d had very few guests staying over. Although there were some disposable toiletries, it wouldn’t be an issue if it’s just a one-night stay. If it was an extended stay, then a trip to the store would have to happen.

Old Master Tang instructed Tang Wan to get a few daily necessities from the store on her way back.

“That kid has a weird temper. I don’t know what he likes and if I buy something he doesn’t, it’s going to waste. You’ll go with him and if he picks them himself. There’s no mistake about it. Since he’s the guest, we need to make sure he lives comfortably.”

Tang Wan had no choice but to seek Jiang Jinshang’s opinion.

The bodyguards wanted to intervene. After all, Jiang Jinshang didn’t like shopping. It was all done by his people.

However, Jiang Jinshang asked first, “Where are we going then?”

In the past, he wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t be bothered to move at all. What was going on today?

***

It was a huge convoy and if all entered the supermarket, it would attract too much attention. Instead, only two bodyguards followed them.

Tang Wan accompanied Jiang Jinshang and started shopping from the daily necessities section.

“Is this brand okay?” Tang Wan didn’t know his habits and preferences, so she could only choose according to her own preferences and then ask for his opinion.

Jiang Jinshang followed her step by step. The two of them occasionally communicated with each other. Although they tilted their heads and talked, they still maintained a little distance from each other. They were inexplicably intimate, but it didn’t make people feel uncomfortable.

The two bodyguards followed behind with their carts, sizing up the two people who were half a meter away.

“Don’t you feel that master is especially easy to talk to today?”

“It’s fine as long as he has such a good temper. I’m just afraid that if he holds back his emotions, we’ll be in trouble later.”

“Why don’t you get on Ms. Tang’s good side? I feel that master treats her quite differently.”

Tang Wan was standing in front of a shelf, choosing something. However, the phone in Jiang Jinshang’s pocket started to vibrate restlessly. He took it out and took a look. Then, he took two steps to the other side. “Hello –”

The bodyguards followed closely behind. The moment he moved, they also retreated.

“I heard you collapsed again?” The person’s voice carried a hint of mockery.

“What’s the matter?” As Jiang Jinshang spoke, his peripheral vision drifted and landed on Tang Wan.

She was looking down at the two bottles of hand sanitizer. Her long hair was hanging down, covering her face. She casually raised her hand and tucked her hair behind her ears. Her neck was thin and white, and the long green-gray dress she was wearing was tied around her slender waist.

Her shoulders were flat, her legs were long, and her light eyebrows were soft to the gaze.

“As a friend, I’m concerned about you. Could it be that the chick from the Tang family rejected you? You’re heartbroken and you’re sick from anger?”

“It’s just a rejection. What’s there to be sad about?”

“There are thousands of women in this world. If it doesn’t work, there’s more for you to choose.”

Jiang Jinshang raised her eyebrows. Other than spewing nonsense, what else could this person do?

***

Tang Wan didn’t know if it was because of the rain outside, but she felt that there were a lot of people in the supermarket today. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw someone approaching with a trolley, so she quickly slid to the right.

However, she didn’t expect that the person pushing the trolley was a naughty child. The wheels of the trolley slid forward uncontrollably and crashed into Tang Wan’s calf.
