Chapter 12
Early summer morning, the wind blows into the room from the open window. Lian Hao is wearing a white thin robe, with his collar slightly open, revealing the unobstructed *light inside. He lazily leans against the bedside, waiting for Jiang Wanyu to come out after washing up. Jiang Wanyu walks out of the side room, and is surprised to see Lian Hao leaning against the bedside, looking at him with a complexion as white as jade, paired with his lazy demeanor, two extremely mismatched personalities, yet gathering together to form a unique elegant atmosphere.
Jiang Wanru glanced at Lianhao's elegant demeanor, and her eyes wandered as she caught a glimpse of the faint glow emanating from his slightly open collar. These days, whenever Lianhao was in the Wang Manor, they would inevitably have some sort of chemical reaction between them on quiet nights, with more intimate interactions between men and women. Jiang Wanru had only shown enthusiasm and curiosity towards Lianhao that one time when she was drunk; otherwise, she had always maintained a calm and indifferent attitude towards those things, as if having or not having a romantic relationship had little impact on her.
After careful consideration, Jiang Wanru's appearance was not as good as many other women, but she had a pair of bright and clear eyes. Her temperament was only superficially obedient, but in reality, she was extremely proud and self-satisfied, treating people with only superficial closeness, but actually being distant from them. Moreover, she didn't know how to please others. The grandmother and mother in the mansion obviously disliked her, and they had hinted at her inadequacies countless times.
Jiang Wanmu stood still, under the bright light, the man on the bed with a charming spring color, emitting a romantic and elegant atmosphere. Jiang Wanmu knew that after today, she would not have the chance to meet such a person again, let alone have more contact with someone like him. Jiang Wanmu's eyes wandered for a moment, then slowly walked over, sat down beside the bed, raised her head to look at Lian Hao on the bed, and under his astonished gaze, reached out to untie his robe.
Jiang Wanru's eyes were not confused, only with pure appreciation. She leaned forward and closed the open robe, then looked up at Lianhao, seeing the blush on his face and the joy in his eyes. Jiang Wanru got up from the bedside, just as she was about to turn around, Lianhao held her hand and said in a low voice: "Do you like where you touched?" Jiang Wanru felt that her previous behavior was clearly flirtatious. She didn't expect that the person being flirted with would welcome her flirting so much.
Jiang Wanru was only thinking about the huge difference between them, without any extra romantic feelings. She gently pulled out her own hand and said to Lian Hao: "Third Master, today is busy, I want to ask the housekeeper and the maids to come in and count the things in the room, later please also ask Third Master to be a witness." Lian Hao heard her words, withdrew his extended hand, and said in a low voice: "You're not like you won't come back again, why bother with so much trouble."
Two maidservants and a housekeeper brought in steaming hot washing utensils, followed by Ji Yan with a small package in his hand. Jiang Wanru and Ji Yan slipped into the side room, and when they came out again, Ji Yan's package had more things than before. Lian Hua was already seated at the table, where a sumptuous breakfast was laid out, and the two maidservants stood by his side, carefully serving him as he ate.
Two housekeepers looked at each other and saw Lian Hao nodding slightly, then one of them accompanied Ji Yan out of the room. Jiang Wanru sat at the edge of the table, still politely declining the housekeeper's offer to serve her, her expression calm and eyes downcast as she ate. After finishing her meal, the housekeeper who had gone out with Ji Yan came back in, handing a notebook to the other housekeeper, and said with a smile to Lian Hao and Jiang Wanru: "Third Master, Madam, everything in Ji Yan's room is tidy and in order, not a single item is missing."
The housekeeper and the maidservants accompanied by auspicious words entered the side room, the door of which was open, and from time to time, the sound of reporting objects could be heard inside. Lian Hao glanced at Jiang Wanru sitting upright at the desk and said in a low voice: "Wanru, I don't know why, but today I'm feeling a bit nervous, and I always feel that today's affairs won't go as I think, nor will they go as I wish." Jiang Wanru looked up at him. The day set by the Wang family was likely related to this matter, and the two families involved were already on their way. Today was just like a storm with hail, and these three families would not change their decision to let Jiang Wanru leave the Wang family.
Jiang Wan covered up the emotions in her eyes, she looked up at Lian Hua and smiled slightly: "Third Master, we want to go to Nan Street to buy some food, and I saw a piece of fabric in a fabric store last time I went out, which I really liked. At that time, I thought it was a bit expensive and couldn't bear to part with the money. These days, thinking about it, I still like that piece of fabric. The two of us women want to go and haggle over the price, if we have a man behind us, the price can't be lowered."
Lian Hao still wasn't at ease, and asked Jiang Wanru again, "Do you remember the way to the other courtyard and the door number?" Jiang Wanru lowered her eyebrows and didn't answer Lian Hao's question, but her face turned slightly red. Lian Hao looked at her expression and smiled with some relief.
