Chapter 179: 141 Roommates, warmth in every glance; Deadbeat dad turns over a new leaf? (3 updates)

Tang Wan stared blankly at the large bed when Jiang Jinsang had already closed the door, walked over to the window, and pushed it open slightly to get some fresh air.

As dusk fell, dressed in white shirt and black pants, and draped in a thin classic trench coat, the cool breeze tousled his hair a bit, and the sunlight fell on him, a rosy gold hue, captivating to behold.

But this breeze blowing in only made Tang Wan feel more anxious and agitated inside.

The room was booked by Fan Mingyu, and she couldn’t possibly question them, "I’ll call the front desk to see if there are any vacancies."

Abroad, there’s no concept of the Lunar New Year, so the New Year’s celebration is also a big deal for them, and the rooms had been booked out early.

The front desk only said that if some guests with reservations didn’t show up later, there might be vacancies, but they couldn’t give her a definitive answer for now.

"The family thinks we’re having a trial marriage, so it should be normal for us to sleep in the same room," Jiang Jinsang explained.

Although he kept a straight face, he couldn’t hide that little bit of glee.

Tang Wan also knew clearly in her heart, she pursed her lips and thought for a moment,

"Or later, I could talk to Second Master, I’ll sleep with Jiangjiang tonight, and you brothers can share a room."

"..."

At dinner time with the four of them, Tang Wan brought up a suggestion.

Jiangjiang was gnawing on a chicken leg at the time, glanced at his father, and then scanned his Second Uncle across the table.

Jiang Jinsang smiled at him, "What’s wrong? You don’t want to sleep with your Second Aunt?"

Though he said this, he still picked out two strips of carrot from a dish and placed them in his bowl.

Jiangjiang swallowed nervously with the chicken leg in his mouth.

"It’s not that I don’t want to sleep with Second Aunt, but I’d rather sleep with my dad. I like listening to his bedtime stories better."

"That’s fine. After he finishes telling the story, I’ll sleep with you," Tang Wan thought this plan was very feasible.

"Jiangjiang, what do you think?" Jiang Jinsang smiled brilliantly at him, but Jiangjiang knew him too well and immediately found the chicken leg in his hand less appetizing.

"I just want to sleep with my dad. Second Aunt should still sleep with Second Uncle."

After Jiangjiang finished speaking, he lowered his head and kept eating, not giving Tang Wan a chance to continue talking.

"Kids can be quite restless at night; it’s better if I take care of him." This comment from Jiang Yanting completely dashed Tang Wan’s hopes.

If she kept insisting on changing rooms or wanted to stay at another hotel, it would be too disrespectful to Jiang Jinsang, so in the end, she had to accept it.

**

The sightseeing trip would begin tomorrow; after dinner, they each went back to their rooms to rest.

Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang often stayed in the same room at home, but this was a hotel, and the feeling and atmosphere were definitely different from being at home; one sat in a chair and the other by the bed, chatting occasionally, always with a bit of awkwardness.

"There’s a gym on the tenth floor of the hotel; I’ll go exercise for a bit. You can take a bath and rest first," Jiang Jinsang said, knowing she was still a bit reserved, giving her some personal space.

As soon as Jiang Jinsang left, Tang Wan couldn’t help but call her best friend.

"...I’m telling you, sharing a room, Tang Xiaowan, what are you waiting for!"

"It feels very awkward."

"Let me tell you, even if nothing happens on one bed, it might be even more awkward when you wake up in the morning."

"So, what should I do?"

"Just sleep a few more times, and it’ll be fine." Those were truly outrageous words!

"..."

"After the first time, it gets easier. Besides, if you don’t sleep together, how will you know if you’re compatible? I’m telling you, some men look okay, but when it’s for real, who knows what they might be like."

"I suspect you’re driving!"

"I’m thinking of your future happiness. You don’t have to be afraid; from what you’ve said, he seems to be a gentleman. Perhaps nothing will happen at all. What are you afraid of then?"

"I’m not afraid, just a bit nervous."

"That means you’re looking forward to it. Tang Xiaowan, you’re doomed!"

Her friend hit the nail on the head.

It’s not like being locked in the room by force. Without a bit of fondness or absolute trust, no girl would willingly share a room with a man.

Tang Wan’s heart raced at her words.

"All right, I won’t talk to you anymore; I’m still working overtime at the company."

"It’s already quite late, isn’t tomorrow a holiday?" Tang Wan checked the time; it should already be eight or nine o’clock at night in China.

"I’m the assistant to the boss’s assistant now. If the boss doesn’t take a holiday, where do I get holidays? Always on call. At our boss’s age, he should be in the prime of his life."

"I’ve been with him for some time now; I know almost all his schedules. He doesn’t have a girlfriend, doesn’t go on dates."

"Do you think he has no needs, or is there some unspeakable secret... he doesn’t go out to play on his day off?"
