Chapter 311: 209 Ginger Sugar CP Choose Wedding Rings? The Man Who Inspires Awe_2

Wedding ring?

Tang Wan’s heartbeat suddenly skipped a few beats, and as she looked down, she realized that in the glass showcase they were standing in front of, all that was displayed were platinum rings, most of which were paired sets.

“Or would the two of you like to see something else? Approximately what price range are you considering?” the sales associate asked with a smile, looking at them both.

At the moment, it was cold outside, and even after entering the shopping mall, many people were still wearing masks. Tang Wan’s face was half buried in her scarf, and she had no idea what Jiang Jinsang suddenly had in mind coming to this place.

Thinking back on what he had done before, could it be…

He was really going to propose?

Her heart inexplicably started racing again.

“Do you see something you like?” Jiang Jinsang leaned down, his voice growing softer and more lingering near her ear.

“I’m just looking around,” Tang Wan coughed, feeling nervous and excited at the same time. She slightly bent over as if examining the products inside the glass showcase, but her thoughts were scattered and tumultuous.

In the end, the two of them didn’t buy anything significant. However, when Tang Wan passed a silk shop, she noticed a few scarves she liked, planning to buy something for Fan Mingyu and the old lady, and stayed in the store to choose.

“Then you go ahead and look. I’ll go to the restroom for a moment.”

Tang Wan was focused on picking out items and didn’t think too much of it until after she completed her shopping, but he was still not back. She grew nervous—why was the restroom taking so long?

When he returned, Tang Wan noticed that one side of his jacket pocket seemed bulged, as if something was inside.

Looking at it, the shape and size, it was likely a jewelry box.

Could it be that he had doubled back?

Tang Wan’s heart began to pound again…

Because the appointed time was nearing, they didn’t linger too long in the shopping center. Throughout the walk and until they got into the car, Jiang Jinsang didn’t mention anything and appeared calm. In contrast, Tang Wan felt both nervous and anticipatory the entire way.

Later, they were meeting with a group of friends, and all signs were indicating that perhaps…

But as soon as they got into the car, Jiang Jinsang pulled out a box from his pocket and handed it over to her—a blue velvet box with a hot-stamped gold logo from a jewelry store. “Open it and have a look.”

Tang Wan arched an eyebrow. This…

It seemed different from what she had expected.

He was giving it to her just like that?

A proposal, a ring? Just in such a simple manner…

“What’s wrong? You don’t want it?” Jiang Jinsang noted her unusual expression, lacking any apparent joy or excitement, yet carrying surprise and a hint of disappointment.

Could it be that she didn’t like it?noveldrama

“No,” Tang Wan replied with a smile, taking the box and opening it to reveal a delicate platinum necklace. The design wasn’t complicated; it was adorned with a small heart and a few pavé diamonds, intricate and unique.

She had eyed this necklace for quite some time. Although she liked it, it wasn’t something she felt she absolutely needed to have.

Most importantly, she was with Jiang Jinsang. If she really wanted it, he would likely insist on paying, and with the diamonds, it wasn’t exactly cheap. Even though they had been together for a while, Tang Wan didn’t feel that he should pay for all their expenses when together.

After some thought, she had decided that she wanted it, yet gave up on the idea.

Little did she expect that he would go back and purchase the necklace. His thoughtfulness always seemed to leave her in awe.

It seemed like she had thought too much—it wasn’t a proposal. Tang Wan couldn’t quite place the feeling in her heart, but seeing the necklace brought her joy.

“Do you like it?” Jiang Jinsang asked intently, watching her reaction.

“Mm,” Tang Wan replied, taking out the necklace.

“Do you want to try it on?”

Tang Wan murmured a low agreement, lifting her hands to unwrap the scarf around her neck, at that moment feeling fortunate that she had worn a V-neck sweater underneath.

Jiang Jinsang took the necklace from her hands and slightly moved forward in his seat. The car was already small, and as he moved forward, Tang Wan had to lean back towards him. And so…

Her back was pressed against him.

Jiang Jinsang reached out, his fingers glided over her collar, flipping all of her hair to the front of her body, revealing a stretch of pale, slender neck. His eyes darkened slightly, and he lifted his hand over her head, pinching the clasp with his fingertips, bending over to fasten it for her.

These jewelry clasps were delicate and tiny, and for Jiang Jinsang, who was dealing with them for the first time, it was a bit clumsy. He fiddled with it several times before he secured it.

Tang Wan could feel his fingers unintentionally brushing against the back of her neck. Combined with the dim lighting in the carriage and his proximity, his hot breath splattered on her skin…

That area was extremely sensitive, causing Tang Wan’s heart to tremble involuntarily.

“Isn’t it done yet?”

“Almost,” Jiang Jinsang spoke, his breath clipping his words, his breaths falling light and heavy on the back of her neck, truly making one uncomfortable.

After fastening the necklace, Tang Wan raised her hand to adjust the piece that lay on her collarbone, intending to turn and ask him how it looked

But he suddenly reached out, wrapping his arms around her from behind, drawing close to her neck…

Tang Wan’s body shuddered, electrified, instantly rigid.

“Do you really like it?” His voice was low and husky, close to her, as though something was gently binding her heart, delicately controlling her every heartbeat and breath.

“I like it.”

“That’s good…”

His fingers tightened slightly, caressing and kissing softly, and the two lingered in the car for a long time, until someone passed by outside, prompting Tang Wan to push him away.

The kiss lasted so long, Tang Wan could hardly breathe, wanting to use the opportunity to say a few words to him, but she had only spoken a few when he came back for more…

It was torturous to the point of madness.

Jiang Jinsang adjusted his breathing, straightening his clothes, and then they set off for the club they had agreed to meet friends at.

Only then did Tang Wan realize they had actually spent over forty minutes in the car—it was insane.

**

When they arrived at the club, Jiang Yanting, Shen Zhixian, and Qi Zeyan were already there. It was said that Jiang Chengsi’s flight was delayed, and he might only arrive in Beijing late at night.

They were familiar enough with each other not to need formalities when greeting.

“Xiaowu, younger sister—” Qi Zeyan smiled.

Jiang Jinsang, with Tang Wan in tow, entered the private room without acknowledging Qi Zeyan. Younger sister?

How shameless could a person be!

Relying on the falsely declared age in the household registration book, was he really getting a swollen head?

But he himself turned and called out to Shen Zhixian: “Sister-in-law.”

That actually made Shen Zhixian blush.

Qi Zeyan couldn’t help but curse inwardly: Shameless!

As soon as Tang Wan entered, she saw another person sitting beside Qi Zeyan. The lighting in the room was already dim, and where he was seated, it was even darker, his entire face and half of his body almost engulfed in shadow, his features indiscernible.

Jiang Jinsang whispered in her ear, “This person is…”

Listening, Tang Wan’s gaze towards that person became even more unusual, while he had already stood up and began walking towards her.

Tall and imposing, approaching one hundred and ninety centimeters, he seemed to block all the light and shadows in front of her.

The aura he exuded was sharply intimidating.

Honestly speaking, Tang Wan had met people from the Chuanbei Jing Family. They were notorious, said to be cruel and unmerciful, yet the real person, with his ascetic immortal appearance, was nothing like the rumors. But this person before her…

Leaving aside his appearance, his aura alone was enough to make people stay back a hundred meters!

What kind of monsters are hiding in Jiang Jinsang’s friend circle!
