A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 109 Just an accidental kiss.

“Wanwan…” Gu Yunyi’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he looked at her and said, “I like you so much.”

The voice was soft and sincere.

Tang Wanwan certainly knew.

I had sensed it before, but tonight his crazy way of holding on and not letting go made it even more certain.

Besides, the affection in his eyes was so obvious right now; she wasn't blind, how could she not see it?

That unexpected kiss was the fastest Tang Wanwan had ever experienced in her life.

That feeling was so intense, so exciting.

So much so that she seems to still be affected by it.

At this moment, under his gaze, her heart began to beat faster again.

The throbbing sensation in her chest gave Tang Wanwan a strange feeling.

She seems to treat him a little differently.

It must be an illusion!

Otherwise, it would be too outrageous.

It was just an accidental kiss.

The kiss was simply because a snake appeared.

A racing heart doesn't necessarily mean you're attracted to someone.

Reason kept protesting, trying to find reasons to convince itself.

But my body is honestly expressing its fluttering emotions.

My thoughts were in turmoil, and intense internal conflict was about to overwhelm my reason when the car came to a stop.

The rear door opened, and Jiang Yanzhi and Shen Xianyu stood below. The cool summer night breeze dispelled her wild thoughts.

Tang Wanwan's mind cleared instantly, and she felt ashamed of her hesitation. She jumped out of the car, but Jiang Yanzhi caught her steadily and pulled her into his arms.

Inside the car, Gu Yunyi, who had been lying down, sat up. Upon seeing this scene, his bright eyes instantly dimmed.

The hospital bed was pushed off the cart by the nurse and taken directly into the ward.

Several doctors came in and began a series of examinations.

It was eventually determined to be a venomous snake, but not very venomous; the patient would need to be hospitalized for several days for injections.

After working for an hour or so, the medicine was applied and the IV drip was started.

With the doctor gone, the single-patient room suddenly became much emptier.

Once she was certain that Gu Yunyi was out of danger, Fu Jingbai finally felt comfortable making sarcastic remarks.

He glanced at Tang Wanwan, who was unharmed and being held in her boyfriend's arms, then looked at his brother's foot, which was wrapped up like a dumpling, and said with a half-smile, "A hero saving a damsel in distress?"

He exclaimed, "No, I'm just curious. When a snake comes and bites someone, how do you save them? Do you stick your foot out and let the snake bite you?"

Tang Wanwan: "..."

Gu Yunyi: "..."

Both parties remained silent.

The atmosphere in the room, which had been natural, gradually became strange as they fell silent.

Jiang Yanzhi's expression turned indifferent upon sensing something was amiss.

He frowned slightly: "Is it inconvenient to say what method was used to save the person?"

The hand around her waist tightened inch by inch. Tang Wanwan carefully looked up and explained, "I was so scared that I hid behind him. If I hadn't hidden, I would have been bitten by the snake. You won't blame me for that, will you?"

In such an emergency, to blame someone would be beneath the dignity of a boyfriend.

Besides, she only hid behind her back for a moment.

It's really not something to be bothered about.

Jiang Yanzhi held her waist and leaned down to peck her lips. "What's there to be embarrassed about? Just say it directly. Hesitating only makes me overthink."

He had just imagined several scenarios in his mind.

Tang Wanwan gave a dry laugh, "Mainly because you're a bit stingy, I'm really afraid you'll hold a grudge about this."

This explanation makes perfect sense.

The group believed it immediately.

After all, since they got together, it's no surprise that Young Master Jiang has been keeping a close eye on his girlfriend, not only Tang Wanwan herself, but also the other three people in the ward.

Therefore, her initial silence was understandable. Jiang Yanzhi's heart softened; he felt both that he had put pressure on her and that he was relieved that his beloved girl finally understood how to care about his feelings.

He gently ruffled her hair and coaxed her softly, "Nothing is more important than your safety. In an emergency, we must act accordingly. As long as you are safe, I won't hold it against you no matter what."

"..." Tang Wanwan was speechless, and gently nodded her head in his arms, "Okay, I understand."

They're so incredibly well-behaved.

Jiang Yanzhi tightened his grip on her waist, looked at Gu Yunyi on the hospital bed, and asked, "Should you call your assistant yourself, or should I call two people to take care of you?"

Gu Yunyi remained silent.

His gaze drifted unfocused, his expression blank.

From the moment she got out of the ambulance, the girl didn't look at him again.

Not even a glance.

Right now, she nestled obediently in another man's arms, her back to him, not even turning her head.

Gu Yunyi felt a little uncomfortable.

The familiar sour feeling was particularly strong this time.

He gripped the corner of the blanket tightly and said, "I'll call for help myself. You guys go back."

His voice was calm, yet inexplicably conveyed a sense of suppressed emotion.

Everyone assumed he was in a bad mood because he was injured and had to spend the night alone in the hospital.

Only Tang Wanwan felt guilty and ashamed.

She was afraid that others would notice the strange relationship between her and Gu Yunyi.

She also felt guilty towards Gu Yunyi.

The guilt came out of nowhere, but it just happened.

Perhaps it's because he was bitten partly because he shielded her from harm?
Lost in thought, Shen Xianyu, who hadn't said much, pulled up a chair and sat down.

He said, "I don't have anything to do tonight, so I'll stay here with you."

The single-occupancy ward has a bed for a caregiver.

"That's good."

Fu Jingbai, who was fiddling with her phone, looked up when she heard this and smiled, "If I didn't have something to do, I would have stayed to keep you company."

"Alright," he waved his phone and said to his buddies, "If there's nothing serious, you can rest now. I'm leaving."

After saying this, he opened the ward door and was the first to leave.

It's 10 p.m., and they had planned to sleep on the mountain tonight.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should still be drinking on Fengming Mountain right now.

Young Master Fu is from the capital and has only been in Z City for a few days. What could possibly be wrong with him?

In the past, Tang Wanwan would have immediately thought of Qian Qinglei.

But right now, her mind was in a mess, and she had no time to think about anything else.

As soon as Fu Jingbai left, they didn't linger. After exchanging a few words, they got up and left.

As she stepped out of the hospital, the cool summer night breeze brushed against her face again, and Tang Wanwan unconsciously shrank her neck.

Jiang Yanzhi put his arm around her shoulder and led her to the parking lot, his voice gentle and loving, "Were you scared tonight?"

There were snakes in that place.

Tang Wanwan gave a soft "hmm," she was genuinely terrified.

Jiang Yanzhi was heartbroken and remained silent.

He walked to the car, opened the passenger door, and waited for her to get in before reaching out to lift her chin and carefully examining her complexion for a while.

Previously in the ward, Tang Wanwan had secretly gone to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

Gu Yunyi kissed her fiercely, but he wasn't good at bullying people. He just barged in and messed around without actually biting her lips.

Therefore, her lips were not swollen.

Jiang Yanzhi looked at her for a while, then gently touched the redness at the corners of her eyes with his fingertips. He kissed her eyes with a tenderness and whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, everything will be alright."
