The young lady hired me to help her and the young master have an online romance.

Chapter 115 The Crown Prince is Paying Off His Spoils

Jiang Wan quickly got up and washed up.

Back in my room, I opened the wardrobe and started choosing clothes.

After considering many options, I finally chose a light pink floral dress.

The skirt is knee-length with two layers of irregular lace at the hem, creating a layered effect.

Both shoulders and cuffs are decorated with the same lace trim.

Gentle and comfortable, it's flawless.

To match this fairy-like dress, Jiang Wan wore strappy sandals and put on a very radiant makeup look.

After doing all that, as if possessed, she opened the small safe, took out the bracelet, and looked at it.

After hesitating for two seconds, I put it on my wrist.

According to yesterday's revelation, this was a couple's item that Shang Shixu gave her after he learned he had been scammed.

Jiang Wan smiled slightly, took out the custom-made perfume, and lightly sprayed some on her wrist.

Finally, carrying a small white crossbody bag, he walked out of the bedroom.

He called out towards the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm going out. I won't be eating at home today."

Fang Ru poked her head out from the kitchen. "Where have you been so early in the morning?"

"...A friend is looking for me."

A guilty look flashed in Jiang Wan's eyes.

Jiang Feng emerged from the bedroom, yawning. "Which friend?"

He crossed his arms in front of him, glanced down at Jiang Wan with a suspicious look in his eyes.

"Sis, you wouldn't be... in a relationship, would you?"

"No!" Jiang Wanfei quickly retorted.

He then gave an explanation in the most peaceful tone possible.

"It's a friend I met through work, someone you wouldn't know even if I told you."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

She walked quickly to the door, opened it, and closed it behind her.

Jiang Feng behind him seemed to be deep in thought.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but his sister seemed a little nervous.

"Xiaofeng, hurry up and wash up, dinner will be served soon."

His mother's voice interrupted Jiang Feng's thoughts. He shook his head, realizing he was overthinking things.

*

Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief the moment she closed the door.

She went downstairs and walked out of the residential area, where a stylish black Mercedes-Benz G-Class was parked on the side of the road.

Shang Shixu stood by the passenger door, dressed in a completely different outfit than yesterday.

Wearing a short-sleeved knitted T-shirt in black and white.

The outfit was all black, with two buttons undone from the collarbone to the chest area, revealing a white T-shirt underneath.

The white T-shirt underneath had one button undone, revealing half of her collarbone.

She wore a thin silver chain around her neck, and a small heart-shaped pendant hung from the center of her collarbone.

She wore a pair of dark gray straight-leg pants with a beautiful drape.

She wore a watch and a plain platinum bracelet on her left wrist.

His outfit today has a cool yet alluring feel to it.

What Jiang Wan didn't know was that the clothes and necklace were delivered from Shang Shixu's home overnight by his bodyguard.

Jiang Wan walked briskly forward while admiring the view, saying, "Good morning."

"morning."

Business time is ready to give you a hug.

Jiang Wan happened to bend down and sit in the passenger seat.

His hopes dashed, Shang Shixu forced a smile.

He turned around, bent down and reached into the passenger seat, wrapping his arms around Jiang Wan's upper body in a tight hug.

As soon as Jiang Wan got into the car, her heart rate jumped to 120!

Several familiar-looking women walked past in front of the car.

One of them was still turning his head to look at this.

The man's cold aura enveloped her completely.

Jiang Wan froze.

Fortunately, the hug only lasted three seconds.

Shang Shixu loosened his grip and looked at her.

"Remember, whether you meet or part ways, give each other a hug."

Jiang Wan frowned slightly.

"Too much trouble?"

The other party astutely saw through her thoughts.

Jiang Wan felt awkward.

To be honest, she doesn't really like setting rules and regulations in relationships.

My previous identity prevented me from being myself.

Now that we're having a real relationship, I need to show him my true self.

Only through this kind of adjustment can things be effective.

Shang Shixu's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

He forgot that their relationship is currently unequal.

Too many restrictions will only put pressure on her.

"I take back what I just said. Do what you think is best."

He ruffled her fluffy head and pulled on the seatbelt to fasten it for her.

He closed the door, walked around the front of the car, and got into the driver's seat.

Jiang Wan silently curved the corners of her mouth into a smile.

He recognized her needs; give him a thumbs up!

As Shang Shixu got into the car, he caught a glimpse of a glittering light on Jiang Wan's left wrist.

He reached out and grasped her wrist, then lifted her long sleeve.

The diamond bracelet was fully revealed.

Joy instantly flew from his eyes to his brow.

Do you like it?

Jiang Wan nodded shyly, "I like it."

Shang Shixu made a surprising remark, "So, do you like the underwear I gave you?"

Dead memories resurface.

Jiang Wan's mind conjured up the image of that large box of colorful underwear, and her ears quickly burned.

"How dare you ask? Why did you send me underwear?"

The man had a half-smile on his face.

"From now on, I'll take care of you from head to toe, inside and out."

Jiang Wan: (°ー°〃)!

Such domineering...

You can have more.

Jiang Wan scratched the back of his hand with her fingertips.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Shang Shixu pulled on his seatbelt and fastened it.

"You know this place well, where would you like to eat?"

"Hmm... what do you want to eat?" Jiang Wan wanted him to define the options.

Shang Shixu: "Whichever restaurant you like, we'll go there."

"Are you sure?" Jiang Wan raised the corners of her eyes.

"The restaurant I love to eat at is a very ordinary little shop; you probably wouldn't even want to go inside."

"Am I that exaggerated?" The man raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Wan smiled without saying a word.

Shang Shixu chuckled, somewhat unconvinced.

"Give me the address, and I'll show you what I'm going to eat today."

Jiang Wanbao's address.

After entering the time sequence into the navigation, Shang Shixu immediately clicked on music and started playing a song.

Accompanied by a beautiful melody, the car started and headed towards its destination.

After driving for more than ten minutes, we arrived nearby.

There was a row of storefronts along the roadside.

Jiang Wan pointed to the breakfast shop and said, "It's over there. Let's pull over to the side of the road."

After Shang Shixu parked the car, the two of them got out and walked over.

The shop is small, with four tables inside and three tables outside.

The white walls were stained yellow from the smoke.

Steam was billowing from the steamer at the entrance, and the shop owner was lifting the lid.

White mist rises, and fragrance wafts through the air.

"Aunt Wang!"

Jiang Wan called out.

The shop owner looked up, his eyes wide with surprise.

"Wanwan! School's out for break?"

His tone was full of familiarity.

Jiang Wan laughed, "Yes, that's why I came to eat Aunt Wang's steamed buns as soon as the holiday started~"

The shop owner grinned, his gaze shifting between Jiang Wan and Shang Shixu.

"Wanwan, is this your boyfriend? He's so handsome! You two are a match made in heaven!"

Shang Shixu's gaze affirmed the other party.

That's very well said!

Jiang Wan hurriedly waved her hand, "No, Aunt Wang, he's my...good friend."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiang Wan felt Shang Shixu suddenly nudge her lower back.

She clenched her teeth, stifling her gasp.

As someone who had come to visit, how could the shop owner not see the strong ambiguity between the two young people?

It seems they're not officially together yet, so they're too embarrassed to admit it.

She changed the subject, asking, "What would you like to eat?"

Without hesitation, Jiang Wan ordered, "A braised pork, a spicy eggplant, and a cup of soy milk."

After saying that, he looked at Shang Shixu and asked, "What would you like to eat?"

He glanced at the menu posted on the wall. "Same as yours."

Shop owner: "Eat here or take away?"

Shang Shixu looked at Jiang Wan, who glanced at the four tables in the shop, all of which were full of people.

Only the three tables outside are still empty.

She didn't mind eating outside, but the thought of Shang Shixu sitting on the street felt incredibly incongruous.

I won't make things difficult for him.

Jiang Wan decisively chose to pack it up.

Aunt Wang handed two breakfasts to Jiang Wan, who reached out to take them.

However, Shang Shixu, who was taller and had longer arms than her, took it.

Jiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then took out her phone to pay.

A cold, masculine voice rang out from above, "I'll do it."

Jiang Wan didn't argue with him, and told him how much to give, "Ten yuan in total."

When a customer scans a QR code to pay, a notification sound comes from the small speaker at the store entrance.

"888 yuan received via Alipay".

Jiang Wan: [・_・?]

Shop owner: Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟﾉ)ﾉ

Others who were planning to buy steamed buns: Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉ

The area in front of the store fell silent instantly.

After Shang Shixu finished paying, he used his right hand, which was holding the phone, to put his arm around Jiang Wan's shoulder from behind, his arm passing over her collarbone, and pulled her into his embrace.

He spoke to the boss with a carefree expression.

"I'll save the money here for my 'good friend' to use later."
