Chapter 310: 209 Ginger Sugar CP Choose Wedding Rings? The Man Who Inspires Awe

The Xie Family’s recognition of relatives, although it cast a shadow over all participants, tomorrow was already the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, with only one day until New Year’s Eve. The intense festive atmosphere instantly dispersed the discomfort.

The next morning at around ten, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang set off in a car to take Ruan Mengxi to the airport.

“…It’s really too much trouble for you guys, you really didn’t need to drive me specifically.” Ruan Mengxi apologized with her face; in Beijing, the migrant population made up a large part, and before and after the New Year, it seemed like an empty city. She had complained to Tang Wan last night that she might need to hire a taxi early today, fearing she wouldn’t be able to catch one.

But Tang Wan had already planned to see her off, so she might as well take her to the airport.

“No worries.” Jiang Jinsang parked the car, opened the trunk, and gentlemanly helped her with her luggage.

“Hey, Mister, my suitcase is very…”

Very heavy!

Ruan Mengxi had two suitcases, a 28-inch one to check in and a smaller carry-on. The larger suitcase was terrifyingly heavy. Jiang Jinsang was thin and seemed frail, almost…noveldrama

Not as sturdy as her!

She was really worried; moving a suitcase might break his back!

She really feared… Jiang Jinsang couldn’t handle it!

But before she could finish her sentence, he had already lifted the suitcase and placed it securely in the trunk. It seemed he had no trouble handling it. He turned his head to look at Ruan Mengxi, “What’s wrong with your suitcase?”

Ruan Mengxi suddenly snapped back to reality, “Oh, I meant to say it has fragile items inside, just be a little careful.”

After getting in the car, Jiang Jinsang drove, and the two girls sat in the back, resting their heads and whispering something, but he inadvertently looked through the rearview mirror and saw Tang Wan’s face flushed red.

Ruan Mengxi lowered her voice, biting close to Tang Wan’s ear, and said: “…Hey, who would have thought, your brother is quite capable, he looks so thin, but who knew he’s all muscle. Does he look really fit without his clothes?”

“I was just worried he couldn’t handle it, always felt he wasn’t as sturdy as me, now I’m not worried.”

“I think, handling someone like you should be no problem.”

…

Tang Wan kept glancing surreptitiously at Jiang Jinsang; the person in question was still here, and she was brazenly making these comments right in her ear.

“Did you use that thing I gave you last time?” Ruan Mengxi said softly.

“You’re too nosy.” Tang Wan whispered back.

“This is really important, don’t tell me you guys are planning on a platonic relationship? At your age, with both of you so full of energy, I can’t believe there hasn’t been any spark?”

Tang Wan had a headache, “By the way, did Qi Zeyan take you home last night? Did something happen between you two?”

“I invited him for a cup of tea at my place.”

“That forward? What did he say?”

“What else could he say? He told me to grab my bag and scoot fast. I deliberately left my keys in his car this time, hoping he’d bring them up to my apartment, but he noticed them before even getting out of the car. He even scolded me…”

Ruan Mengxi coughed and imitated Qi Zeyan’s tone with an affected air, “He said: ‘Ruan Mengxi, are you a pig? Always losing things…'”

Tang Wan couldn’t help but chuckle.

“That straight guy!” Ruan Mengxi huffed.

Tang Wan suddenly looked towards Jiang Jinsang, “By the way, Mister, why did that Mr. Duan last night call Qi Zeyan ‘Monkey’?”

“Just search a picture of ‘Monkey’ and you’ll understand. His hair is so tough and hard to manage. A crew cut looks okay, but if it grows a bit, it sticks up the next day just like Monkey’s hairstyle, quite dense too.”

Ruan Mengxi didn’t care much about it, since she had already renamed her boss ‘Monkey’ in her phone contacts.

After seeing off Ruan Mengxi, from the airport back to downtown, it was already noon, and the two had lunch outside.

“Some friends and I are meeting up later, wanna join? There’s someone you haven’t met yet, you can get to know them.” Jiang Jinsang’s invitation was never forceful.

“Isn’t it going to be all men? Wouldn’t it be weird if I just showed up?”

“My sister-in-law is also going.”

“Then that’s fine.”

With time to spare before the gathering, if they went home and then came back out, it would be hasty, so after eating, the two wandered around a nearby shopping mall.

Almost all the shops were running promotional activities for the New Year, the array of promotions was dazzling.

“See anything you want to buy?” Jiang Jinsang asked, turning towards her.

“Not at the moment.”

However, mid-conversation, Jiang Jinsang suddenly grabbed her hand and led her to a brand-specific counter. The counter clerk immediately came over, greeting them enthusiastically, “Sir, miss, what are you interested in? Currently, our wedding rings are on discount. If you’re interested, I can show you some.”
