Chapter 140 The Crown Prince's Tattoo, Male Lead 2 Learns Jiang Wan Has a Boyfriend
Jiang Wan hung up the phone, her face turning as red as a persimmon.
"bite--!"
The doorbell rang, startling her.
The takeout has arrived.
Jiang Wan watched the program and finished her meal.
After a moment's thought, he sent a message to Bai Mu.
Teacher, please take good care of your injury. I'll keep an eye on the art exhibition the whole time.
The message was sent out, and a reply came shortly afterward.
【it is good】

Inside the villa.
Jiang Yubai put down his phone and picked up his paintbrush again with his right hand.
The canvas shows a half-finished work with its shape just sketched out.
If Jiang Wan were here, she would recognize at a glance that this was a scene from the evening in a taxi.
The man leaned forward, and the woman reached out her hand.
The artist chose a very clever visual angle.
From this angle, the two appear to be entwined.
They were very close.
Jiang Yubai didn't have any specific idea in mind before he picked up his brush.
When he saw the drawing he had created, he was struck dumb!
A dozen days ago, he firmly believed that his appreciation for Jiang Wan was simply a resonance of souls.
It is free from any romantic feelings.
Even after rescuing her today, he still believes that as acquaintances, it's normal not to stand by and watch someone die if they see them in danger.
Even if it were someone else he knew, he would still save them.
As for her body's reaction when touched.
He also attributed it to a normal physiological phenomenon.
But now—
He inexplicably drew this picture and inexplicably imagined this angle.
He couldn't convince himself that he only admired Jiang Wan.
The pen moves with the heart.
His heart had been stirred for some time now.
Realizing this, Jiang Yubai quickly calmed down and began to think about what kind of love she wanted.
Looking back at my parents' past love.
They wasted their lives because they didn't understand each other.
If he can spend his life with someone who understands him, he will surely be very happy.
Jiang Yubai became more and more excited the more he thought about it.
But despite being moved, he was in no hurry to express his feelings.
There is still a month and a half of work left.
First, I'll become friends with Jiang Wan.
Due to his upbringing, Jiang Yubai is extremely cautious about marriage.
Besides being cautious, he was also very confident.
He believes that Jiang Wan understands his paintings and appreciates him.
I believe that once I express my feelings, I will win the other person's favor.
Jiang Yubai's confident composure vanished three days later when he learned that Jiang Wan had a boyfriend.
Shang Shixu, the boyfriend, is unaware that his darling is being targeted again.

Harvard Business School.
Shang Shixu just finished today's exam.
Pei Heyun caught up from behind, his backpack strap slipping to the edge of his shoulder.
He looked like a husky that had just been released from its cage.
"Hey Xu, wanna go swimming?"
"I'm not going."
Are you going to the company?
"no."
Pei Heyun paused for a moment, then asked, "Where are you going?"
"Get a tattoo."
Pei Heyun said "Oh" and continued walking forward.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
His expression was like he'd seen a ghost.
He blocked Shang Shixu's path, patted him on the shoulders with both hands, and shouted.
"I don't care who you are, get off my brother right now!"
Shang Shixu narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly and stood still.
Pei Heyun shrank his neck and silently withdrew his hand.
"Are you really going to get a tattoo?"
"Um."
"Have you forgotten what you said about Di Zi getting a tattoo? You called him stupid and superficial?"
"Di Zi stopped getting tattoos after you criticized him, and now he'll curse you out whenever you mention tattoos."
Shang Shixu raised an eyebrow. "Did I say that?"
Pei Heyun nodded vigorously, "You said that!"
"oh."
"Then I forgot. Forgot means I didn't say it."
Pei Heyun: (；¬＿¬)999999……
Because you flipped it 6 times.
Shang Shixu seemed not to notice his speechless expression and walked past him.
Pei Heyun hurriedly jogged to catch up.
"I'll go with you!"

Half an hour later, at a tattoo studio.
The store isn't big, but it's decorated in a very stylish way.
Pei Heyun followed Shang Shixu inside.
The walls are covered with all kinds of tattoo sketches, black and white, color, realistic and abstract, all kinds of styles.
The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, mixed with a faint scent of ink.
A middle-aged man with a large beard walked out from behind the control panel.
She was wearing a black vest and her arms were covered in tattoos.
But his smile was gentle, unlike the "tattooed older brother" that Pei Heyun remembered.
"Mr. Shang?"
The tattoo artist glanced at Shang Shixu, then at Pei Heyun behind him.
"It's me," Shang Shixu replied.
The tattoo artist smiled.
"Should we stick to what we agreed on before?"
Shang Shixu hummed in agreement.
The tattoo artist nodded and pointed to the worktable.
"Okay, then lie down there, we'll begin right away."
Pei Heyun stood to the side, his face full of curiosity.
Shang Shixu unbuttoned his shirt with his fingertips, revealing a strong chest and well-defined abs.
He lay down on the control panel with his shirt open.
Pei Heyun's curiosity had reached its peak.
He desperately wanted to know what Shang Shixu was going to get tattooed!
What exactly made this kid break his principles?
The tattoo artist put on gloves and took the needles and ink bottles out of the sterilizer.
"Are you sure this is the location?"
The tattoo artist pointed to the area above his left chest, where his heart was.
"Um."
The tattoo artist begins his work.
The moment the needle pierced his skin, Shang Shixu frowned slightly.
Pei Heyun craned his neck to get a better look.
The tattoo artist's needle moved with each stroke, creating smooth lines and beautiful curves.
Pei Heyun stared at the line of letters that was gradually taking shape and read them out one by one.
"Forever..."
He paused for a moment, then squinted.
"W...a...n?"
Pei Heyun's lips twitched.
Love me, love me, but who the hell has ever loved you?!

In the blink of an eye, Shang Shixu finished all his exams.
He was eager to return home and bought a ticket for an early morning flight.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
The alarm clock rang, and Jiang Wan reached for her phone.
Shang Shixu sent a message at four in the morning.
【Set off】
Upon seeing those two words, she smiled slightly.
We'll see him in twelve hours, which is tomorrow morning.
Jiang Wan put down her phone, got up, and washed up.
The art exhibition just ended yesterday, and today I need to go and tidy up Professor Bai Mu's house.
I don't know exactly how to clean it up.
Jiang Wan wore a loose-fitting summer suit that was easy to work in, and her long hair was tied up in a bun on top of her head.
After packing what I might need to tidy up the house, I ate breakfast and went out.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
We arrived at the entrance of the Bai Mu Villa.
Jiang Wan pressed the doorbell and waited for about seven or eight seconds before the door was opened.
The man was wearing a loose, dark green T-shirt, and his left arm was wrapped in a cast and hung in front of his chest.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Wan felt a surge of guilt.
Good morning, teacher.
"Good morning."
The man stepped aside to make way.
Before this, he would always turn around and walk straight in when he opened the door.
But today, he stood at the door to welcome her in.
Jiang Wan was only focused on getting the work done and didn't notice this small detail.
She brushed past his clothes and went inside.
The moment their clothes touched, Jiang Yubai's breath hitched.
Jiang Wan changed her shoes, walked into the living room, put down her bag, and eagerly asked, "Teacher, where should I begin?"
"You can clean it up."
After Jiang Yubai finished speaking, he sat down on the sofa and picked up a picture book to look at.
Looking at the picture book was just a pretense for him.
Jiang Wan put on the prepared gloves and began to clean up the kitchen.
Throw away expired items!
Dirty dishes should be cleaned in a sterilizer!
Wipe the dusty countertop!
The movements are neither too fast nor too slow; one thing is done before moving on to the next.
After cleaning up the kitchen, I went to the living room.
She didn't touch anything around the easel, but instead organized the bookshelf.
There is a drawer at the bottom of the bookshelf.
Just as Jiang Wan was about to reach out to pull him, a slightly anxious voice sounded from behind her.
"Don't open it!"
Jiang Wan paused.
They silently closed the small gap they had opened.
Behind him, Jiang Yubai calmed his heartbeat.
The drawer contained the painting he had drawn a couple of days ago.
Based on her understanding of him, she would definitely be able to see through his thoughts at a glance.
Now is not the right time to expose ourselves.
Jiang Wan didn't know what was in the drawer, but she wasn't curious about other people's secrets.
After whispering an apology, he continued tidying up the bookshelf.
Seeing her busy figure, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but speak.
"What are your plans for tomorrow?"
Jiang Wan stopped what she was doing, turned to look at him, and asked, "What's wrong, teacher?"
Jiang Yubai unconsciously stroked the picture book on his leg with his fingertips.
"A business partner gave me two tickets to a musical."
"I don't have many friends in Haicheng, so... I was wondering if you wanted to come along."
Jiang Wan answered without hesitation.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but my boyfriend will be back tomorrow, so I'm afraid I won't have time."
Jiang Yubai's pupils contracted.
