Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife
Chapter 54 Undercurrent
As the days count down to her twentieth birthday, there is an inexplicable undercurrent of uneasiness flowing between Tang Wenwan and Jiang Kaichen.
The impatience in Jiang Kaichen's eyes could no longer be concealed. There was always a sense of uncertainty in his heart that made him want to regret his promise all the time.
Although Tang Wenwan seemed to be sad about the parting, she was actually full of plans to hide. Every time she met Jiang Kaichen's hungry eyes, she would become more determined to escape.
"Tang Wensong will bring his uncle, aunt, and grandfather here in a few days."
Jiang Kaichen has been basically inseparable from Tang Wenwan these past two days, sitting in the Arhat Hall, drinking tea while watching her paint and talking about his own plans.
"Ah~ Are you all coming?"
Tang Wenwan paused while painting and turned around.
He quickly wondered in his head whether being stared at by so many pairs of eyes from his loved ones would make his escape more difficult.
"Your twentieth birthday is your coming-of-age ceremony, and your family must be present. If you don't want to go back, I will bring them here."
Jiang Kaichen seemed to be playing with the cup in his hand casually, but his eagle eyes were always on Tang Wenwan.
"Oh, too."
Tang Wenwan nodded and turned back to continue drawing. While drawing, she thought that she could tell her grandfather about the plan in private first to save them from worrying.
Anyway, grandpa and I are always on the same page, and I told him that I was going to Italy to study fresco painting, so I don’t even have to worry about the application process. As long as the old baby makes a phone call, his friends there will make sure everything is arranged.
"So, do you have any other birthday wishes?"
Seeing that the little man seemed in a good mood, Jiang Kaichen continued to ask tentatively.
"Um ?"
Tang Wenwan didn't even turn her head this time. She just stopped painting for a moment and said tactfully:
"I am already very satisfied that you all came to celebrate my birthday with me. How can I ask for anything else?"
In my heart, I was secretly thinking: "Do you think you can know my birthday wish? If you knew, my wish would be shattered!"
"Can I have a wish?"
Jiang Kaichen slowly put forward his ideas again.
"what?!"
Tang Wenwan turned around, wondering if he had seen through her. She pretended to be calm and looked at him.
"I want to get engaged to you."
Jiang Kaichen put down the teacup in his hand and spoke to Tang Wenwan as if he had mustered up the courage.
"I have almost dealt with the Zhu family's affairs. I plan to discuss changing your surname back with Mr. Jiang after I take you back this time."
In his heart, he had never been able to let go of the family background issue that Tang Junshan had mentioned before. After two years, he had finally taken control of the Zhu family and felt that he could now have a legitimate claim.
"No~"
Tang Wenwan was so angry at his straight male thinking that she almost laughed. She put down the paintbrush in her hand and walked over to sit next to him.
"Are you proposing to me or reporting your work?"
"I~" Jiang Kaichen couldn't answer for a moment when he was questioned.
In his cognition, he and Tang Wenwan have always been one, the only obstacle is his poor family background, which makes their relationship unreliable.
"Didn't you always say you liked me?"
Jiang Kaichen tried hard to align himself with Tang Wenwan's thinking, and a rare hint of shyness appeared in his eagle eyes.
Tang Wenwan, who was outmaneuvered, suddenly didn't know how to explain to him the normal development progress of this delicate relationship between men and women.
In his previous life, he was simple, rough, and brutally possessive.
Although he has slowed down his pace in this life due to his own efforts, he still seems to be self-oriented and moving forward, and his style has not changed at all.
"Well, I do like her, but I'm only 20 years old. Isn't it too early to get engaged?"
Tang Wenwan scratched her head and tried to communicate with him in his way of thinking. Actually, it was not impossible. Sooner or later, she would be his. It was just that she always felt a little breathless under his control.
"That's why I didn't mention marriage. I can wait until you grow up a little before doing it."
Jiang Kaichen finally became confident and spoke in a very considerate manner, and handed Tang Wenwan a cup of tea.
"you!"
Tang Wenwan felt like her brain was congested from being bombarded with his twisted logic, but she didn't know how to turn the situation around in this complicated situation.
"If you agree, I will support you to study, and we will get married after you graduate."
Jiang Kaichen coaxed as if he had made a huge concession, carefully trying to gauge Tang Wenwan's ever-changing expression.
"real?!"
Hearing the word "reading", Tang Wenwan finally perked up. She lowered her eyes and asked casually, "What's the good of studying?"
"Where to study then?"
"When I went back this time, I told my uncle, aunt, and grandfather about your desire to study. My uncle said that several art academies in South City have come to our house several times to inquire about your studies. In particular, your Arhat paintings in Japan have been quite famous in the past two years. They said that if you are willing to go back, you can directly start teaching."
"really?"
Tang Wenwan didn't expect that her willfulness in the past two years would actually make her a little famous. She looked at Jiang Kaichen in disbelief.
"In fact, there are many people in the circle who want to buy your works at a high price, but I have completely blocked them from you."
Jiang Kaichen nodded, muttering to himself at the same time.
Deep down, he actually didn't want Tang Wenwan to be in the spotlight. He felt that this was just his little girl, and no one should have any way of getting involved with her.
"That~~that's not something we can't consider."
Tang Wenwan was so overwhelmed that she couldn't stop smiling. The feeling of being recognized was quite happy.
"That's what I mean."
As a master negotiator, Jiang Kaichen knows best how to press on to win.
"There will also be a small press conference at this banquet. Guan Ben said that he will award you the honor of the Royal Chief Painter that day to thank you for being his teacher for the past two years."
"Ah! Is it so grand?"
Tang Wenwan started to get nervous. She had thought that it was just a family eating a meal and blowing out candles in the temple. After all this, wouldn't her escape plan be several times more difficult?
"Don't we have to say goodbye properly? That has to be done with a sense of ceremony."
Jiang Kaichen touched Tang Wenwan's short hair with a rare tender look on his face and said lovingly.
"Okay then."
Such a high-profile behavior has never been Jiang Kaichen's style in either life. Tang Wenwan looked at Jiang Kaichen secretly with doubtful eyes, her heart beating with anxiety. She was afraid that her plan had been seen through by this man, and she was also afraid that this man would use new tactics to control her.
"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal!" Tang Wenwan silently came to a conclusion in her heart.
"Then~ listen to me the day after my birthday, I want to have a different start to our world of two!" Tang Wenwan hid a cunning look on her face, put her arms around Jiang Kaichen's waist, buried her face in his arms, and made a shy request.
