Tang Family East Courtyard
Tang Wan sat by the window, pondering how to reject Jiang Jinsang that evening. She indeed had nothing planned for the night, and bailing on him at the last minute felt too deliberate. With no other option, she called her best friend to explain the situation.
"...So you want me to call you later, giving you an excuse to slip back to your room, right?"
"Exactly."
"I've never met the fifth Mr. Jiang, but his brother's always on magazine covers, so handsome. I'm sure the younger brother isn't bad-looking either. Even based on his looks alone, it's worth it for a couple of extra bowls of rice, so what are you afraid of?" her friend laughed.
"Plus, you're strong and healthy. What could a sickly guy possibly do to you? If you don't start anything with him, he'll be lucky." Tang Wan's lips twitched; strong and healthy?
"Tang Xiaowan, it's your place, why are you acting so cowardly?"
