IRDFPFCIW Chapter 60

The three of them had a meal where they hardly tasted the food.

Wen Renyuan mainly ate the dishes that Jiang Tang had specially prepared for him. Everything he ate tasted sweet and delicious.

Chen Jiesen, who usually ate the most, was in shock and confusion. He looked at the expressionless Jiang Tang, then at Wen Renyuan across from him, who seemed to be in a very good mood, though not obviously so.

…Although the atmosphere was a bit strange, there was a unique aura between the two that others couldn’t interfere with.

This feeling peaked when Wen Renyuan naturally offered to see Chen Jiesen out after the meal.

“I’ll walk you out.” Wen Renyuan stood up and first looked at Jiang Tang, “You must be exhausted from playing today, go to bed early.”

Then he glanced at Chen Jiesen, indicating for him to leave with him. Was he really going to sit on someone else’s sofa late at night, eating and drinking without any self-awareness in heart?

Chen Jiesen felt Wen Renyuan’s gaze and immediately jumped up from the sofa, standing straight. “Ah right, it’s a bit late, I won’t disturb you, Tang Tang. I’ll head out now and come back to find you another day.”

Wen Renyuan frowned slightly: …Another day? Coming back?

He walked directly to his car with his long legs. He noticed out of the corner of his eye that Chen Jiesen was still dazedly following him, so he stopped.

“Chen Jiesen, the second young master of the Chen family?”

“Here!” Hearing his name suddenly, Chen Jiesen instinctively shouted back.

Wen Renyuan: “…No need to be nervous.”

Chen Jiesen: “Oh, not nervous, not nervous.”

“Want me to give you a ride?”

“No, no,” Chen Jiesen felt flattered, “I drove here, I can go back by myself.”

Wen Renyuan nodded, and the car door opened automatically. Just as he was about to get in, he suddenly remembered something and said to Chen Jiesen, “Thank you for your help with Tang Tang recently. If you need anything, feel free to find me.”

Then Wen Renyuan left.

Chen Jiesen, who was just starting to come to his senses, was hit by this sentence and he froze again.

“…”

Right, he didn’t even have the chance to ask how Tang Tang and the Marshal knew each other!

How did he get sidetracked and just leave? Chen Jiesen scratched his head. Forget it, he would ask next time.

Before Wen Renyuan returned to his residence, he called Wei Ke via video. When Wei Ke’s holographic image appeared, he saw that Wen Renyuan had no expression on his face, but who was Wei Ke? He was Wen Renyuan’s childhoold friend. He recognized at a glance that this usually reserved person was actually in a good mood, his smile almost bursting from his eyebrows.

Wei Ke silently rolled his eyes in his mind, looking at this old tree blossoming and the old house catching fire. No way, no, is he really video-calling him in the middle of the night to show off his love?

Sure enough, Wen Renyuan cleared his throat and said as his first sentence, “I plan to confess to Jiang Tang. Do you have any good suggestions?”

Wei Ke: “???”

No way, sir? How on earth did he, a virgin who has been single for over twenty years, give you the impression that he has rich emotional experience and enough love experience?!

How could he know how to confess?

Wait… that’s not right, why did Wen Renyuan confess so late?

Wei Ke’s eyelids twitched. “You… you two aren’t together yet?”

Wen Renyuan coughed again and turned his head to the side, his ears suspiciously turning a bit red.

Wei Ke: …

Please, can you, as a grown man, stop pretending to be innocent? It’s disgusting.

This is bad. Everyone in the military believes Jiang Tang is the official Marshal’s wife, and now that they’ve been supporting this couple for so long and to suddenly find out that there’s been no confession…

“It’s best to give Tang Tang a surprise. I want to give him an unforgettable confession.” Wen Renyuan touched his chin thoughtfully.

Wei Ke suggested, “Well… feels like you should cater to his preferences? What does Mr. Jiang like?”

“He likes,” Wen Renyuan pondered, “natural food and fluffy things…”

Wen Renyuan fell into deep thought, and at this moment Wei Ke sent over some information he had just found on Star Network.

“Confessing this way will make your girlfriend/boyfriend tear up with joy and immediately agree!”

“108 Ways to Confess. A step-by-step guide to becoming a love expert!”

“Worried your confession lacks sincerity? Learn it all here. If you don’t understand after reading, come find me~”

“…”

Wen Renyuan accepted everything and downloaded the information to his lightbrain. He planned to study it well in the coming days to leave Jiang Tang with beautiful and unforgettable memories.

…

Last time, after Chen Jiesen brought gifts and shared a meal, he soon invited Jiang Tang to his home.

Jiang Tang thought for a moment and felt that it would be rude to visit empty-handed. Plus, the Chen family was not some small household, so he decided to go out and pick a gift.

He arrived at the shopping mall where Chen Jiesen had taken him last time, which was said to be the largest shopping mall in the Imperial Capital Star. However, Jiang Tang didn’t like shopping to begin with, and the mall was too large. He didn’t know what to buy for a moment, so he aimlessly wandered around.

But Jiang Tang didn’t expect that while he was wandering, he was suddenly blocked by two people coming toward him.

Jiang Tang was confused.

He looked up at the newcomers, but when he recognized the face, his confusion quickly turned into disgust.

How is it that it’s that black-hearted lotus?

Jiang Tang cursed inwardly: Bad luck!

The newcomers were Jiang Bai and another unfamiliar person, but it was clear that he was with Jiang Bai.

Jiang Tang watched Jiang Bai force a surprised expression upon seeing him. He was speechless for a while. Is this what they called enemies meeting in a narrow road? In such a large Imperial Capital Star, how did they manage to run into each other?

“Brother Jiang Tang, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet you here. Are you here shopping too?”

Jiang Tang coldly snorted in response. He was unwilling to talk with this pretentious black-hearted lotus and turned to leave.

If he didn’t leave now, he would be suffocated by the smell of tea, okay!

Just as Jiang Tang was about to walk away, the other person stepped forward and blocked him with ill intent.

“You’re the adopted son who bullied Bai Bai before and was kicked out by the Jiang family, right?”

Jiang Tang: …

He couldn’t even be bothered to roll his eyes. He just wanted to leave quickly, but this person clearly wouldn’t let him.

Seeing Jiang Tang ignore him, the person grew angry. What right did this country bumpkin from a garbage planet have to act arrogant in front of him?!

He reached out and pushed Jiang Tang’s shoulder.

Jiang Tang was caught off guard by the push and stumbled back half a step. He felt somewhat irritated. Finally, he raised his eyes to look at this person. He saw that this person appeared ordinary and slightly plump, and even his waist was thicker than Jiang Bai’s.

But the clothes and jewelry he wore looked expensive.

Jiang Tang’s expression turned subtle as looked at the person. Now he understood why this black-hearted lotus chose to “be friends” with him…

Cheng Yuan noticed the subtlety in Jiang Tang’s eyes and his face darkened. He raised his voice and said, “What are you looking at?! Am I wrong? Aren’t you greedy and want to snatch Bai Bai’s family fortune? You are so vicious that you hurt Bai Bai, which got you expelled from the family?”

Jiang Tang said, “Yes, yes, yes, can I leave now?”

Cheng Yuan clearly didn’t expect Jiang Tang to have such thick skin and was speechless for a moment. His anger caught in his throat, turning his face red.

Seeing this, Jiang Tang turned to leave, but his sleeve was pulled by someone again.

Jiang Tang’s face immediately darkened. His patience was limited.

He turned to look at the owner of the hand and said sternly, “Let go! Do you think you’re worthy to pull my clothes?”

Jiang Bai was startled by Jiang Tang’s reprimand. He immediately released his grip, trembling as he stepped back two paces, shrinking behind Cheng Yuan. When he looked up, his eyes were brimming with unshed tears.

Jiang Tang: …

Was it really necessary to tremble like that? If someone didn’t know better, they’d think he was seriously ill…

Cheng Yuan quickly shielded Jiang Bai and glared at Jiang Tang as if he was the wicked stepmother of Snow White, ready to send Jiang Tang to his demise.

“Yes… I’m sorry, Brother Jiang Tang… I just wanted to say, why don’t you go and beg mom and dad again? They are good people, just go and apologize to them. They will definitely let you come back home. As for… as for me…” Jiang Bai bit his lip, looking so pitiful that anyone would think Jiang Tang had bullied him severely. “I’m willing to forgive you!”

Jiang Tang: …he was really speechless.

“I say, Jiang Bai,” Jiang Tang decided not to leave. He crossed his arms and looked at Jiang Bai as if observing something strange, “Have you told lies so often that you believe them yourself? We all know what the truth is. Do you really need me to say it out loud?”

Jiang Bai’s expression turned ugly.

Beside them, Cheng Yuan shouted loudly, “Bai Bai is willing to forgive you, so don’t be too shameless! What lies? I think you’re the one lying! You country bumpkin…”

Seeing Cheng Yuan getting more and more outrageous, Jiang Bai was afraid that the situation would spiral out of control. He quickly grabbed the agitated Cheng Yuan. “Alright, Xiao Yuan, brother didn’t mean it…”

Cheng Yuan looked at Jiang Bai with disappointment. “Bai Bai, you’re just too kind. You’re always so soft-hearted and anyone can bully you. Luckily, you’re about to marry the Marshal. When the time comes, the Marshal will protect you. I doubt anyone will dare to bully you!”

Hearing this, Jiang Bai’s previously ugly expression turned bright red. “You… what are you saying!”

Cheng Yuan teased, “You’re blushing! Just mentioning the Marshal makes you shy. When you actually get married, you’ll probably be embarrassed to death!”

Jiang Tang: …

Jiang Tang now regretted not leaving three minutes ago. Looking at Jiang Bai’s flushed face, he felt as if he had swallowed a fly.

But Cheng Yuan seemed determined to disgust him further. He pulled out his lightbrain and pressed a few buttons, and soon a familiar figure approached.

Jiang Tang recognized the glasses-wearing manager from last time who wanted to give him a free meal.

Cheng Yuan arrogantly pointed at Jiang Tang, looking down at the manager. “Does your shopping center allow any stray cats and dogs to enter? Don’t you check if certain people can afford anything? I give you one minute to kick this person out.”

Jiang Bai looked worried on the surface but was laughing in his heart. He widened his eyes to see how Jiang Tang would be kicked out.

But to his surprise, as soon as the manager saw Jiang Tang, he hurried over and slightly bowed, saying, “Hello, Mr. Jiang, nice to see you again.”

Jiang Bai: ???

“You didn’t use your free bill last time. Our General Manager Gu has instructed us to reserve your prize. You are now our shopping center’s highest level VIP. How may I assist you today?”

Jiang Bai: ?!
