Xu Wan stood up again and looked through the car roof. She saw that only Ke Shanshan and Pei Zhao were talking on the other side of the road.
She hesitated for a moment, then bent down again, grabbed the man's hand, and got into the car.
The car starts.
Jiang Tingzhou pulled the woman into his arms, sniffed her neck with his nose, and asked, "Have you been drinking?"
"Yeah, I was happy, so I only drank half a glass." Xu Wan was still holding the man's hand. "Yuan Lu also told me that although you are no longer here, you were good friends before, and you helped him, so he will help me with anything in the future."
"Yes, my relationship with him is okay."
The car was dimly lit, and the two people were so close that they almost completely blocked out the light.
Xu Wan raised her hand, touching the man's face hidden in the shadows, her fingers tracing the prominent scar on his right cheek, and asked, "Will you still live as Jiang Tingzhou? Will I still be able to tell others that you are Jiang Tingzhou?"
The car was very quiet.
The man squeezed her hand back, "When I come back, I will have taken care of everything. I will tell everyone who I am, and I will marry you under the name Jiang Tingzhou."
Xu Wan felt the man's grip on her hand tighten.
He said, "I've made you wait too long. This time, I won't make you wait too long. My only hope is that I can marry you standing up."
The man's phone rang as soon as he finished speaking.
The note above reads "daughter".
Xu Wan glanced at the time, somewhat surprised, and asked in a low voice, "Did you call Xiaoxiao tonight?"
Jiang Tingzhou and Xiaoxiao had previously agreed that he would call her every night at 9 pm.
It's already 10 p.m.
Jiang Tingzhou nodded.
He called Xiaoxiao right after leaving Lingya's house at nine o'clock.
Xu Wan quickly made a zipping motion over her mouth and said, "You answer first, I won't say anything."
Jiang Tingzhou pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Dad, I'm Xiaoxiao."
A child's soft, sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.
Jiang Tingzhou felt a sudden surge of tension and asked in a gentle tone, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Mommy's out for a business dinner and hasn't come home yet. Grandma's asleep, and I can't sleep." The little girl's voice sounded a bit dejected. "I miss you so much..."
"I will definitely be back in Beicheng before June 1st, which is more than a month away." Jiang Tingzhou gently persuaded Xiaoxiao, "I'm sorry that Dad hasn't been by your side for so long, but wait a little longer. When Dad comes back, he will bring you delicious food, okay?"
Xu Wan pressed her ear against the other side of the man's phone to listen to Xiao Xiao speak.
The car was quiet.
She heard Xiaoxiao say, "I like strawberries! I like anything that tastes like strawberries!"
"Okay, then let's buy strawberry flavored stuff."
"I also like tomato flavored ones. I like potato chips and strawberry chocolate, but Mom won't let me eat too many because I already have cavities," the little boy said in his sweet, childish voice. "Daddy, could you secretly give me all these treats you brought, without telling Mommy?"
Fearing that Jiang Tingzhou would agree, Xu Wan pinched the man's thigh without any mercy.
After pinching him, she realized he probably had no sensation there, so she pinched the man's arm again.
Jiang Tingzhou then spoke up: "That won't do. If you have a toothache in the future, won't it all be Dad's fault?"
"dad……"
The child is being affectionate.
Jiang Tingzhou looked at Xu Wan with an innocent expression. "Dad will buy it for you, but it has to be given to Mom so she can decide."
"Dad, are you afraid of Mom?"
“It’s not that Dad is afraid of Mom, it’s that neither of us wants you to have cavities. Dad hasn’t been by your side all these years and doesn’t know your lifestyle habits, so it’s best for Mom to make the decisions.”
Jiang Tingzhou began to explain principles to the children.
Xiaoxiao was too young and didn't fully understand, and was even a little sleepy.
She yawned widely. "Well... Dad, come back soon. I'm going to sleep."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Wan looked at Jiang Tingzhou and couldn't help but complain to him, "Are you Tang Sanzang? You've made Xiaoxiao sleepy."
Jiang Tingzhou sighed, "I still haven't figured out how to communicate with my daughter."
"You can just tell her that I told her not to eat it, there's no need to go through all this trouble."
“You can’t say that.” Jiang Tingzhou directly rejected the woman’s suggestion. “I already spend very little time with her. If you say it like that, then you will naturally become the bad guy. I haven’t been by her side at all. Just buying a few chocolates makes me the good guy. That’s not fair to you. If necessary, I’ll be the bad guy from now on.”
Jiang Tingzhou spoke very seriously, and Xu Wan listened with a look of surprise on her face.
This was an angle she had never even considered.
Just as Xu Wan was about to speak...
The car they were in suddenly braked, and because the wheelchairs were on the brakes and didn't move, Jiang Tingzhou and Xu Wan were almost thrown out due to inertia!
