Chapter 166 Relationship Exposed!
Chapter 166 Relationship Exposed!
The man opened his arms and pulled her onto his lap to sit down.
He put his arm around her waist, nuzzled his head against Jiang Wan's neck, and spoke in a deep voice.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's that I can't bear to part with you."
"Right now, my work is mainly focused in China, so if I want to see you in the future, I won't be able to do it as easily as I can now."
At this moment, Shang Shixu's words to Jiang Wan felt like a big dog seeking comfort.
She patted his head.
"I will finish my studies abroad next May."
"I will come back during the Chinese New Year."
"You can fly over to see me whenever you have free time."
"And time flies by, it's not as hard to get through as you think."
With her comforting words, Shang Shixu's bitter emotions eased somewhat.
Love is about lifting up, not shackles.
This was his father's advice to him.
Shang Shixu raised his head and stared into Jiang Wan's eyes.
"If you agree to a few conditions, I will fully support your studies abroad."
"several?"
"Too much?"
Jiang Wan quickly shook her head, "You tell me, you tell me."
The man smiled with satisfaction.
"First, you are not allowed to have private interactions with classmates of the opposite sex."
Jiang Wan nodded. "I agree."
"Secondly, no matter how busy you are, you have to video call me every day."
"it is good."
"Third, you will stay in the house I arrange for you and accept the two female bodyguards I will provide."
Jiang Wan was stunned, her eyes widening.
"Bodyguards? Isn't that a bit much?"
Shang Shixu has a serious face.
"That's not an exaggeration at all."
"I must ensure your safety before I can stay in the country with peace of mind."
Jiang Wan's heart softened, and she couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek.
"Okay, I'll do whatever my brother says."
Her voice was soft and sweet, as if it had a little hook, luring out the cravings in the man's heart.
Shang Shixu's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.
He reached out and cupped the back of her neck, about to give her a passionate kiss, when there was a knock on the door.
The person in his arms, like a little mouse, quickly escaped from his embrace and slipped back to the other side.
He gritted his teeth, trying to suppress the itch in his heart.
Several waiters filed in and began serving the dishes.
Jiang Wan blushed under the man's unsatisfied gaze.
She discovered that Shang Shixu's desires had been growing stronger since her last birthday night.
This still doesn't seem like they've fully broken their fast.
Jiang Wan dared not imagine how crazy he would go once the system was fully opened.
I don't know if I can handle it...

Back in her dorm that evening, Jiang Wan shared the good news about studying abroad with her family in the group chat.
As a freshman at the police academy, Jiang Feng had just returned to his dormitory when his cell phone vibrated in his pocket.
He took it out and saw that the handsome guy's bag had vanished instantly.
He was so happy, like a little dog, which made his roommate tease him.
"I should really take a picture of you so those girls who are obsessed with you can see it."
Jiang Feng ignored him, his fingers flying across the screen.
Wow! As expected of my sister! Even in her last year, she still has such good news!
Attached is a thumbs-up emoji.
As soon as it was sent, the mother, Fang Ru, replied with a singing and dancing emoji.
Jiang Baishan followed closely behind, accompanied by a suona player.
Jiang Wan was amused by her family's reply and twirled a handkerchief in response.
Looking at the three perfectly harmonious people, Jiang Feng felt his thumbs up looked rather out of place.
He typed out a reply—
The three of you get along so well, it's like I was picked up from outside.
The message was sent out and a reply came immediately.
Jiang Wan: [I never thought that after all these years, you would still find out...]
Fang Ru: [In the end, it couldn't be hidden anymore.]
Jiang Baishan: [Sigh, let's kick him out of the group.]
Jiang Feng: [? ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

It's Friday, and the alarm clock is ringing.
Jiang Wan took out her phone and sent a message to Shang Shixu.
Good morning, brother! ៷>ᴗ<៷
A few seconds later, a reply came.
【Good morning】
Jiang Wan typed a line:
After class this afternoon, I was getting ready to go home.
Business Timeline: [I'll give it to you]
No need, you go about your business.
Business Timeline: [I want to deliver]
Okay, thank you, brother.
Jiang Wan put down her phone and went to wash up.
The morning classes are held in a large lecture hall with several classes together.
The news that Jiang Wan will soon be studying abroad on a government scholarship has already spread.
As she stepped into the classroom, many eyes turned to her.
Some were well-intentioned, and some were not.
There was only one exchange student spot available, and the professor recommended her to the university.
Jiang Wan was mentally prepared for such "stares".
She earned her spot through a combination of skill and luck, and she is not afraid of any strange looks.
Jiang Wan sat down with her back straight.
Those unfriendly gazes lost interest and withdrew.
During break time.
Gu Manning suddenly appeared at the classroom door and waved to Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan walked out of the classroom with a smile, "What brings you here?"
Gu Manning: Congratulations!
Jiang Wan revealed her dimples, "You already congratulated me on your phone last night."
Gu Manning: "That's different."
"Are you free tonight? I'd like to invite Sister Tao over for dinner to celebrate?"
Jiang Wan shook her head. "Not tonight. I have to go home and spend time with my parents."
"Wait until I get back on Monday."
"it is good."
Gu Manning suddenly thought of something.
"You're going to study abroad, will your young master be able to handle it?"
Jiang Wan smiled and said, "He's much stronger than before; he can regulate his own emotions now."
Gu Manning nodded, "That's good. I was really afraid he would stop you, thankfully he didn't."
Thinking of her former mother, Gu Manning couldn't help but grumble a few more words.
"Let me tell you, no matter how rich Shang Shixu is, we shouldn't be his kept man."
"You must take control of your own future."
Jiang Wan became more serious.
"Don't worry, I know exactly what I want."
The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with appreciation and gratitude for one another.

At five o'clock in the evening, Jiang Wan got into Shang Shixu's car.
After dinner, they set off for Zhijiang County.
Meanwhile, the "all-around" restaurant.
Jiang Baishan tidied up the kitchen, and Fang Ru cleaned the front hall.
The couple turned off the lights, pulled down the roller shutter, and then hung up a notice that the business would be closed for two days.
My precious daughter is about to study abroad, and we won't be able to see each other for a long time.
While their daughter is at home, they want to make time to spend with her as much as possible.
The two walked home, humming a little tune as they watched the sunset.
......
8 PM.
A Mercedes-Benz G-Class drives along a bustling side street.
"The residential area where Jiang Wan lives is just ahead," Shang Shixu suddenly spoke.
"Are your parents always at restaurants tonight?"
"Yes, they basically never rest."
"What's wrong, brother?"
Shang Shixu smiled slightly. "It's nothing, I just wanted to spend a little more time with you."
His undisguised emotions felt like a piece of candy to Jiang Wan's heart.
It's sweet.
She neither said it was good nor bad.
This was a tacit admission that he would come up with her later.
The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the residential area.
Jiang Wan quickly got out of the car and went inside after making sure there were no acquaintances nearby.
Never looking back.
She seemed not to recognize the man behind her at all.
As soon as she entered the building, Shang Shixu grabbed her from behind.
"Why are you running?"
"Are you so afraid of being seen?"
Jiang Wan turned her head and smiled at him.
"Didn't we agree not to tell my parents yet?"
"The people downstairs are all familiar neighbors, and I'm afraid they'll see me."
Shang Shixu hummed unhappily.
"When can we tell them?"
"I feel like we've already worked out well together."
Jiang Wan responded softly as she went upstairs.
"You've been doing well lately, but we haven't been talking for very long."
"Let's talk about it after I graduate next year."
Shang Shixu took her hand from behind and squeezed it.
"Don't say it again."
"I want you to take me to meet your parents after you graduate next year."
Jiang Wan chuckled, "Okay~"
As soon as she finished speaking, she unlocked the door with her fingerprint.
"Click—"
The door lock clicked open, and the moment Jiang Wan opened the door, her breathing stopped!
The living room was lit.
The parents stood in the entryway, their joyful expressions frozen on their faces.
Their gaze slowly moved downwards, landing on her and Shang Shixu's clasped hands...
Jiang Wan: (´・_・`)
