Chapter 421 I Need to Think About It
This was not the first time Tang Shuo said this. Tang Shuo felt the same way when Jiang Hongtao tried to bring him and Jiang Tiantong together.
Although he has achieved some success in his career now, the Jiang family is no longer the same as it used to be. Moreover, most of his assets are borrowed from the Jiang and Su families.
Although Tang Shuo didn't ask Jiang Tiantong how much he had earned from dealing with the other major families, he estimated that it would be extremely difficult for the Huangfu and Song families to turn things around.
Moreover, these major families really angered Jiang Tiantong this time. Is Jiang Tiantong so easy to deal with?
Jiang Tiantong looked at Tang Shuo and nodded seriously, "I know!"
“…”
Although Jiang Tiantong was right, Tang Shuo still felt a little hurt by her blunt statement. He gave a wry smile and continued, "So let's cancel our engagement. You can blame me for it."
"Did I say I wanted to cancel it?" Jiang Tiantong refused to listen and directly retorted.
Tang Shuo took a deep breath and hummed twice, but didn't say anything.
It would be a lie to say that Tang Shuo was not moved. Anyone in Yanjing who wanted to win Jiang Tiantong's favor would probably have to go straight to Heji. The fact that she took a fancy to him was already a great honor for her.
But the point is, what should he do about all the things happening at home?
Because of Jiang Tiantong, he hasn't been home for several days. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he really doesn't dare to go back and face everyone at home.
Just as Tang Shuo was scratching his head and thinking of a solution, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a smile in the corner of Jiang Tiantong's eyes.
"Since we are getting married, shouldn't we get in touch in advance to avoid embarrassment later?" Tang Shuo suggested.
"Contact what?" Jiang Tiantong asked puzzledly.
"Let's go to your room and sleep together tonight!" Tang Shuo said nonsense, "Otherwise, everyone will feel awkward."
Tang Shuo's words were just to tease Jiang Tiantong, and he didn't have any other intentions. Even if he had any intentions, it was not a good time given his current physical condition.
He had originally prepared himself to be kicked out of the car by Jiang Tiantong. However, Jiang Tiantong remained silent for a long time.
After thinking for a while, Jiang Tiantong said, "I need to think about it."
Tang Shuo looked at Jiang Tiantong in astonishment. He never expected the other party to give such an answer.
Their eyes met, and the carriage instantly fell into silence.
Tang Shuo looked at her smooth skin. Just when he was about to do something, Jiang Tiantong avoided his gaze and said in panic, "Don't do anything rash. Wait until I think it over."
Mess around?
Isn't this a hint to him?
If Jiang Tiantong hadn't said that, Tang Shuo might have been a little hesitant. But by the time Jiang Tiantong finished speaking, Tang Shuo had already moved in front of her and kissed her hard...
…
Yanjing. Military compound.
Wang Jianye personally poured Tang Shuo a glass of wine and asked, "I heard that you agreed to come back as Bi Han's instructor."
"She threatened me." Tang Shuo nodded and answered truthfully, "She said that if I didn't go back, she would quit being the captain. But we agreed to meet one year later."
Wang Jianye laughed twice and said proudly, "A year is not a big deal. It seems Bi Han has found a way to control you."
Tang Shuo sighed helplessly, took a bite of food and said, "I heard Haoran say that Mr. Qin was there that day too. How did you convince him?"
"I have decided to retire." Wang Jianye said somewhat sadly.
"Retire?" Tang Shuo's hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air, and he asked doubtfully, "Did he bring it up?"
"It wasn't him," Wang Jianye said. "I took the initiative to propose it. Besides, it's not appropriate for me to continue to cling to that position at my age."
Tang Shuo then fell silent and pondered the pros and cons of this matter for 037.
"Don't worry."
Wang Jianye smiled and said, "I have already implemented a set of captain's review standards. There shouldn't be any trouble in this matter in the future."
In fact, Tang Shuo had already thought about Wang Jianye's retirement.
The camp is permanent, but the soldiers are transient. His name is stained with blood.
Even if Wang Jianye continues to stick to this position, I am afraid that his body will not be able to hold on in two years.
What worries Tang Shuo the most is what kind of leader 037 will have this time.
Wang Jianye saw Tang Shuo's worry and smiled knowingly, explaining, "Your Uncle Huang will take over."
Tang Shuo raised an eyebrow and asked doubtfully, "Shouldn't Elder Qin be the one to make the final decision on this matter?"
"He has his own schemes, and I have my own ways around them," Wang Jianye said to Tang Shuo with a sly look on his face. "Otherwise, if it were someone else, how could I dare to put Bi Han under his name?"
Tang Shuo grinned. Was this still the Wang Jianye he knew before? He simply couldn't reconcile the smooth-talking Wang Jianye with the stubborn, unyielding leader he had in mind.
…
Fengshan, Jiang family.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Tang Shuo returned to the Jiang family's house. Jiang Tiantong, who was looking through some documents in the living room, saw Tang Shuo and said, "I have something to do tomorrow morning. Please accompany me then."
"What's the matter?" Tang Shuo walked to the sofa and sat down, asking in confusion.
"You'll know when the time comes." Jiang Tiantong didn't answer Tang Shuo's question. She closed the document and prepared to go upstairs.
Tang Shuo smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, and when he saw the other person's figure going up the stairs, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He did not stay in the living room. He went back to his room, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then went straight to Jiang Tiantong's room.
Dong…Dong…
After the knock on the door, Jiang Tiantong's voice, without any emotion, came out instantly. "Who is it?"
"It's me."
Tang Shuo replied.
"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Tiantong asked puzzledly.
"Open the door first." Tang Shuo said, "I have something urgent to tell you in person."
After a moment of silence, a rustling sound was heard in the bedroom. Tang Shuo was delighted and waited with anticipation for what would happen next.
Then, the bedroom door opened a crack, and Jiang Tiantong, wearing lavender silk pajamas, asked through the crack: "What's going on?"
Tang Shuo pressed against the door frame and said, "It's about what I asked you to think about yesterday. How's your thinking going?"
Jiang Tiantong replied indifferently: "I don't think it's appropriate. Let's wait until after we get married!"
"No need to wait until after the wedding, that would be too troublesome." Tang Shuo said, and prepared to force the door open.
Although he had temporarily gained some advantage in the car yesterday, Jiang Tiantong didn't look at him well for the next half day, and even his dinner was cancelled.
If Jiang Tiantong were to consider that matter, it would take an unknown amount of time, so Tang Shuo could only find a solution on his own.
Boom...
There was a sound of iron chains being tightened, and Tang Shuo's heart skipped a beat.
When he looked down, he saw a security chain at the bottom and top of the bedroom door blocking him out.
"What's going on?"
This was not the first time Tang Shuo came to Jiang Tiantong's bedroom, and he was sure that there was no such thing on the bedroom door originally.
In other words, these two anti-hotlink measures were designed specifically for him.
Jiang Tiantong glanced at Tang Shuo with disdain and said, "Are you finished? If you have nothing to say, I'm going to bed."
Tang Shuo hurriedly said, "Open the door first, and let's talk slowly."
Jiang Tiantong snorted lightly, then turned and walked directly towards the bed in the bedroom.
Tang Shuo smiled bitterly, sighed, and helped Jiang Tiantong close the door again.
Jiang Tiantong, who was already lying on the bed, heard the door closing, smiled softly, and closed her eyes.
…
The next morning, after having breakfast, Tang Shuo and his companion took Du Bing and drove directly to the city.
Neither of them mentioned what happened last night, as if it had never happened. However, compared to the dejected Tang Shuo, Jiang Tiantong was obviously in better spirits.
About forty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a building in the city.
