Chapter 317: 213 New Year’s Eve, sprinkle the sugary sweetness (2 updates)_2

“Xie Tongtong likes you?” Jiang Jinsang was not aware of this.

Hearing such gossip, Tang Wan immediately perked up her ears. Ruan Mengxi was her bestie, and if there was a potential love rival, she would definitely take more interest.

“No shit, I’m quite popular.” Qi Zeyan saw the look of disbelief on his face and got a bit defensive, “What, you believe it?”

“I do,” Jiang Jinsang nodded, “After all, you’re pretty handsome. It’s possible for a young girl to be fooled by looks. Xie Tongtong seems to be no fool, just has poor taste.”

“You…” Qi Zeyan choked with anger and was about to retort when the crowd pushed and suddenly a child sprang from nowhere, accidentally stepping on his shoe, “Uncle, sorry!”

The child then ran off.

Qi Zeyan’s facial nerves uncontrollably twitched violently, “My shoes, my shoes…”

He didn’t have OCD, but he loved his shoes so much, how could he tolerate even a speck of dust on them.

Tang Wan was unaware of this and seeing him standing motionless, his face ashen, she asked, “Brother Wu, is he not feeling well?”

Jiang Jinsang glanced at his shoes from the corner of his eye, “His shoes got dirty.”

“What?”

“It’s like someone stepped on his face, could he feel good?”

“He has OCD?”

“Not really, it’s probably just a compulsion about his shoes.” Jiang Jinsang took Tang Wan’s hand and started walking them into the crowd, “Let’s go.”

“What about him…”

“He’s grown up, he can take care of himself.”

Naturally, Jiang Jinsang hoped to be alone with Tang Wan. What was the point of having a bright third wheel hanging around?

Qi Zeyan, looking at his shoes and then lifting his head, realized that Jiang Jinsang and Tang Wan had disappeared, and was even more annoyed!

That damn Jiang Xiaowu…

Jiang Jinsang pulled Tang Wan quickly to a less crowded area, intentionally avoiding Qi Zeyan. The feeling had a bit of an “eloping” excitement to it; slightly nervous, they stopped moving. The lantern festival was held outdoors, and Tang Wan, wrapped up in a scarf, was having some difficulty breathing even after jogging a few steps.noveldrama

She pulled down the scarf and teased Jiang Jinsang with a smile, “That was so mean of you, leaving him alone like that, is that really okay?”

“What’s wrong with it?” Jiang Jinsang reached out to adjust her scarf.

He leaned in a bit and their noses brushed against each other. His exposed face was icy cold, while Tang Wan’s nose was so warm it was sweating; the cool touch startled her, making her breathing hasten.

“What’s wrong? Isn’t it nice to be alone with me?” As he spoke, his breath turned into a white mist which seemed to make Tang Wan’s heart flutter.

“We’re not exactly alone,” the lantern festival bustled around them, and their intimacy might attract the stares of others.

“Embarrassed?”

Seeing her somewhat uncomfortable, Jiang Jinsang smiled and curved his lips.

Just as he was about to straighten up, Tang Wan tilted her head slightly…

And quickly pecked at his lips!

“I’m not embarrassed,” she coughed.

Jiang Jinsang, however, was momentarily stunned. He held her face and kissed her several times, but being in public, a full-on kiss was out of the question. They kept it brief.

As they parted, Jiang Jinsang still reached up to pull her scarf over her nose, “Don’t catch a cold.”

Turning to leave, they saw Qi Zeyan standing not too far away, looking pitiful and it was unclear how much he had seen.

After searching for a long while and finally stumbling upon them, all they did was…

Leave him by himself and run off to smooch?

Was he being picked on for being single?

Just as he was about to come over and question why they ditched him, Jiang Jinsang preempted the confrontation with a provoking remark, “What brings you here again?”

…

On the other side,

Shen Zhixian was holding a child’s hand, strolling through the lantern festival. Jiangjiang finally got to see Shen Zhixian, he didn’t care about his absent daddy at all.

Taotao was a bit scared of him; neither child clung to him.

Jiang Yanting looked at the three beside him, the joy clearly overwhelming any sense of loss.

“Mommy, I want this.” Taotao’s situation was quite special, the Xie family didn’t let her go out casually, and this was her first time seeing a lantern festival, everything fascinated her.

“You already have a lantern,” Shen Zhixian furrowed his brows; reasonable requests from a child were to be fulfilled as much as possible, but she couldn’t just have everything she wanted.

However, Jiang Yanting went ahead and made the payment, handing her a small rat-shaped lantern.

“Thank you, uncle,” Taotao was very happy.

“And one for you, Jiangjiang!” Naturally, there would be no favoritism between the two children; Jiangjiang really wanted the lantern, he clutched it, but still with a look of distaste.
