Chapter 1594: Chapter 923: Fourth Master Refuses to Give Face: Sorry, You’re Blocking My Wife (Second Update)

Work studio, inside the office

When Tang Wan heard that Jiang Chengsi had arrived, she acted as if facing a formidable enemy and tilted her head to ask the person next to her, "Where is he now?"

"Already inside."

She feigned composure, put down her teacup, and looked towards Yu Zhen’s team opposite her.

"Ms. Tang, if you have something to attend to, please go ahead." Yu Zhen was curious; weren’t they family? It was said that they had a great relationship, so why did it seem like she was afraid of Lord Jiang Si?

"Uncle Chen, please take them on a casual tour while I excuse myself for a moment." Tang Wan wasn’t very eager to collaborate with them. Since Jiang Chengsi was here, she didn’t have to entertain them.

After all, they were still in the contact phase, and even though a contract had been drafted, it hadn’t been formally signed. So, even if they didn’t cooperate, it wouldn’t be considered a breach of contract.

"It’s fine, please go ahead." Yu Zhen said, smiling.

After Tang Wan left, Chen Zhi took them on a tour. He understood what Tang Wan meant and planned to choose a good time to send them off. As for the collaboration, they would talk about it later.

"Why do I feel that when we mentioned those requirements, their expressions didn’t look good?" Yu Zhen said to her assistant as she used the trip to the bathroom to discuss the matter.

"We didn’t charge much for this event; it was completely charitable. But if the image is lost, how will you cooperate with others in the future?" The assistant frowned.

"We’ve been demanding like this before, and if we don’t ask for anything, previous partners will surely look down on us, thinking we’re deliberately trying to curry favor."

Indeed, they wanted to please Tang Wan. Although she didn’t have resources, if they could establish a good relationship with the Jiang Family, they wouldn’t worry about earning money.

But they also didn’t want to lose their image.

"I know, but..." Yu Zhen was faintly worried.

"It’s Tang Wan’s studio that needs public relations and approached us, and these requirements are nothing for them, so don’t worry." The assistant reassured.

Yu Zhen nodded in agreement.

Elsewhere

When Tang Wan left, she didn’t look for Jiang Chengsi directly but looked out through the second-floor window to find her son. The glass tank was there, Wansui was placed at the side, but the little guy was nowhere to be seen.

"Where’s Mutang?" Tang Wan frowned.

"With Lord Jiang’s wife, apparently they went to buy ice cream."

"You’re saying sister-in-law is here too?" Tang Wan pinched the bridge of her nose.

So the little rascal heard there was food and abandoned even the turtle?

What kind of red-letter day was today, were these two here to "rob" her together?

"Where’s big brother?"

"He should be wandering around."

Jiang Chengsi would occasionally walk around, mingling well with the studio staff, and no one bothered him.

Tang Wan was just looking for an excuse to leave; she wasn’t necessarily looking for Jiang Chengsi. She pondered whether she should hide somewhere because even if those "robbery maniacs" were eyeing something, they’d definitely tell her first. Better to hide for some peace.

She never thought that she’d have to play cat-and-mouse in her own place.

Jiang Chengsi was currently wandering around on the first floor. Today, he and Si Qingxiao just happened to pass by and thought to check if there was anything they could help with for the exhibition she was setting up, not really coming to "rob."

As he entered the yard, he saw Jiang Xiaowai sitting on the steps, basking in the sun with Wansui.

He felt gifting a turtle was better than gifting cats or dogs; it could live long, and it didn’t require daily walks.

Upon hearing Tang Wan had visitors, Si Qingxiao took Jiang Xiaowai nearby to buy ice cream, and he was casually looking around the first floor, waiting for his wife to return before they together went to find Tang Wan.

Jiang Chengsi was very familiar with the place, with no specific purpose, observing the entrance while fiddling with his car key, leisurely roaming.

Meanwhile, on the other side, having lost Chen Zhi, Yu Zhen, who had just been to the bathroom, was putting on sunglasses and was unfamiliar with the place; she was searching for the way back.

As she turned the corner, she nearly bumped into Jiang Chengsi.

Jiang Chengsi was startled too, moved aside, causing her to almost sprain her ankle, and dropped half-worn sunglasses.

Meanwhile, the car key he was fiddling with fell to the ground with a plop.

"Hey, watch where you’re walking..." Yu Zhen’s assistant was about to chide the person opposite upon seeing Jiang Chengsi’s face...

Instant submission!

"Lord, Lord Si."

Yu Zhen glanced at the fallen sunglasses, slightly annoyed. However, seeing the car key on the ground, with a logo of a certain brand, her eyes brightened. Upon hearing her assistant call out to Lord Si, she hurriedly apologized:

"Lord Si, I’m sorry, really sorry, I wasn’t paying attention just now."

She was about to bend to pick up the car key, but Jiang Chengsi moved faster, retrieving the key.

There was a keychain on this, which was made when the club opened. Si Qingxiao had one, and he later got one, making a pair.

Even Ruan Mengxi mocked him, saying who would have thought he would use couple items.

It had been used for many years, already a bit worn, and after being dropped and bumped, inevitably some noticeable marks appeared. He rubbed the keychain, hinting at some impatience in his eyes.

"It’s okay, I wasn’t paying attention either just now; it’s not entirely your fault." Jiang Chengsi hadn’t been focused on the path just now.

"Is your thing broken? I can get you a new one." Yu Zhen clutched the sunglasses but kept discreetly glancing at Jiang Chengsi.

It’s often said good-looking people are concentrated in the entertainment industry, but many male stars require all sorts of edits, and standing before her...

Rogue and brash, appearing openly rebellious yet dressed in elite sharp attire—far more striking head-on than photos or videos.

No wonder those fans of forbidden love CPs would go crazy.

This face, having seen it in person, could truly be adored for a lifetime.

"No need." Jiang Chengsi refused directly.

"I broke it; I should compensate you." Yu Zhen bit her lip, daring herself to speak, "Otherwise... Could you give me your contact information? I’ll get something identical and send it to you."

A key chain doesn’t cost much; Jiang Chengsi wasn’t a fool, but he lowered his gaze on her.

Yu Zhen initially didn’t dare look at him. It was boldness for requesting contact information that gave her courage, seeing Jiang Chengsi seemed to be staring at her, her heart held a mischievous thrill.

She cautiously observed his change in expression.

Jiang Chengsi was married; everyone knew. But in aristocratic marriages, how many are truly happy? Many play their own games, turning a blind eye to each other.

Even if she couldn’t possibly have anything with Jiang Chengsi, having his contact and establishing a connection would be beneficial without harm.

She noticed Jiang Chengsi’s gaze softened upon her.

But at this moment, her heart and eyes were filled with Jiang Chengsi, she didn’t notice, just a short distance behind her, two figures appeared—a large one and a small one.

Si Qingxiao hadn’t expected to encounter such a scene after merely taking the child out to buy ice cream on return.

Watching his expression, it was mischievous, with a hint of amusement.

Jiang Chengsi’s popularity among women seemed always good. She once found some business cards in his files; he didn’t even know who slipped them there or when. It was once an awkward moment.

Jiang Xiaowai was biting an ice cream, curious about the scene before him.

"Lord Si, I broke the thing, I must compensate you; otherwise, I really feel uneasy..."

"I said, it’s unnecessary."

"Lord Si..." The odds of running into Jiang Chengsi in a lifetime might be just this once; being thick-skinned didn’t matter.

"Miss." Jiang Chengsi was already impatient; when he looked at her again, his gaze had a sternness to it, "I said I don’t need you to compensate for the item."

"But you standing here..."

"Sorry, you’re blocking my wife."

Yu Zhen and the assistant: "..."

Their pupils rattled as they turned around, seeing a beautiful stranger woman. Few pictures of Si Qingxiao circulated online; the last time might have been during their honeymoon. It’s known she’s a very graceful and pretty person who loves wearing cheongsams.

But the person before them...

Wearing a dark purple cheongsam with a collar design, complementing a long graceful neck, the skirt adorned with lighter colored floral patterns, exuding elegance.

She and Tang Wan at a glance seemed of a similar type, both were exceedingly graceful, though upon scrutiny, Tang Wan’s gentleness held fierceness, while she embodied exquisite charm.

Yu Zhen’s face turned blue, then white, realizing her intentions were too obvious.

Jiang Chengsi’s marriage was widely known; her behavior was simply improper, and now being caught by the rightful owner...

Utterly embarrassing!

Si Qingxiao approached while holding the child’s hand. Yu Zhen was almost panic-stricken, her heart pounding intensely, franticly buzzing her chest as Si Qingxiao’s high-heeled footsteps accompanied the chaos.

She felt her scalp prickle, her body stiffening completely in terror.

Without exaggeration, should Si Qingxiao wish to deal with her, with her status and means, there were thousands of ways to erase her existence from the industry.
