Chapter 469: The Pure-Clad Dark Heir 19

At that moment, Jiang Yuantong looked at Tang Wan and said, “Madam, now you know it’s me, don’t you?”

Tang Wan let out a cold laugh.

She sat down calmly and looked at him. “Keep pretending. I’ve only been married for two days, but I already know what kind of person Tongtong is. You may have the same face—but your temperament is completely different.”

“Is that so?” Jiang Yuantong raised a brow. “Then tell me—which one do you prefer?”

He didn’t believe she would truly choose to spend her life with a fool.

Could a fool give her the same intensity a normal man could?

Tang Wan took a sip of water before replying calmly, “The one I like is, of course, my husband—Tongtong.”

“You like a fool?” he pressed.

“A fool?” Tang Wan scoffed. “Who said my husband is foolish? He has a pure heart, and he treats me with care and devotion. Even with his flaws, he’s better than most men in this world.”

Jiang Yuantong’s expression shifted slightly.

Was that truly how she saw him?

“Then what about me?” he asked, his tone sharpening. “I was the one with you last night—not that ‘innocent’ version of me. He can’t give you what I can.”

Tang Wan glanced at him, unimpressed. “My Tongtong is capable enough. As long as I guide him, we’ll naturally grow closer. I don’t need you.”

His face darkened instantly.

Though both versions were him… why did it feel like he was being compared—and losing—to his own “simpler” self?

A flicker of irritation crossed his eyes.

The next moment, he stepped toward her.

“What are you doing?” Tang Wan asked, her gaze steady.

“I’m going to show you,” he said, voice low, “that I’m far better than him.”

Before she could react, he pulled her up and carried her toward the bed.

…

Time passed.

When it was over, Tang Wan lay there, exhausted.

Jiang Yuantong looked at her, a faint, knowing smile on his lips.

“See? Your body tells the truth more honestly than your words.”

Tang Wan narrowed her eyes.

Then, deliberately, she said, “Who exactly are you? You’re just using Tongtong’s body.”

Jiang Yuantong’s smile deepened.

“You’re very perceptive, Madam.”

He hadn’t expected her to figure it out so quickly.

After all, during the day, he had no memory of his actions at night.

Logically, she shouldn’t have noticed anything.

And yet—

She had.

Tang Wan glared at him. “Just wait. I won’t let this go.”

“I’ll be waiting,” he replied lightly.

…

Eventually, she drifted off to sleep from sheer exhaustion.

Jiang Yuantong pulled her into his arms, his expression softening slightly.

See you tomorrow night…

…

The next morning—

When Tang Wan woke, Jiang Yuantong was lying beside her, watching her closely.

The moment she opened her eyes, his face lit up.

“Madam, you’re awake!”

Seeing his innocent expression, Tang Wan immediately recalled everything from the night before.

Her gaze sharpened.

“Tongtong… do you remember what happened last night?”
