A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 122 "Have some backbone, will you?"

Gu Yunyi felt he had made a huge concession, and he couldn't suppress the bitterness in his heart.

He had never been in a relationship before, and the girl he finally liked was his brother's girlfriend.

She might not like him that much right now, but she certainly doesn't dislike him either; she at least has some affection for him.

If she doesn't have a boyfriend.

If her boyfriend isn't her best friend.

If only she liked him a little more…

He could then openly and honestly win the heart of the beauty.

Instead of what he has now, with a shady identity that he has to go to great lengths to obtain.

Thinking this, he felt even more aggrieved. He held her hand tighter and tighter and earnestly said, "I am still a clean piece of paper. Being your lover is only temporary. Don't take me for granted."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

Such a bombshell statement left her truly unsure whether he was being abstract or serious.

Her silence only fueled Gu Yunyi's anxiety, and he couldn't help but continue, "Once you break up with him, you have to give me a proper status, understand?"

The voice was so pitiful and barely contained that it gave Tang Wanwan goosebumps.

She was truly at a loss for words. "When did I agree to let you be my secret lover?"

……

The air went still for a moment.

Upon understanding the implication of her words, Gu Yunyi was about to explode.

"I don't even want a title, I'm willing to be your secret lover, and you still won't agree?"

He couldn't believe it: "Tang Wanwan, are you really this heartless to me! Don't you feel any responsibility at all?"

"Calm down." Tang Wanwan had a headache.

She discovered that this man had his own unique logic, and not only could she not argue with him, she was also drawn into his rhythm.

For example, at this moment, she actually felt that what he said made some sense.

After struggling for a moment, Tang Wanwan said, "Have you thought about what the consequences would be if Jiang Yanzhi found out about this?"

"I've thought about it,"

He conducts risk assessments before doing anything, so how could he not have considered the consequences?

Upon hearing this, he said, "Isn't there an example right before? At worst, I'll let him punch me a couple of times."

If they dare to do it, why would they be afraid of Jiang Yanzhi finding out?

As long as this girl dares to acknowledge his lover status, Gu Yunyi would be more than happy to let Jiang Yanzhi find out.

How can he get them to break up and then take his place if he doesn't get caught?

These are all paths Jiang Yanzhi himself has walked. It's not unreasonable for him to follow them now, is it?
While Gu Yunyi was making plans in his mind, he showed no sign of it on his face, still looking aggrieved.

"Don't worry, I'm not like Jiang Yanzhi. He's used to being domineering and forceful. I will always put you first."

He casually stepped on his brother's foot, then quickly raised himself up, "I'll be very careful not to let him find out about our relationship, and I won't force you to make a choice."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

After he brought it up repeatedly, she also recalled the feeling of being forced into a corner by Jiang Yanzhi that night.

That person was ruthless and decisive. One second he lured her to a secret rendezvous, and the next he revealed everything to Shen Xianyu.

He forced her to choose between the two options on the spot.

She wasn't even given a chance to catch her breath; they broke up in a daze, and she got together with him.

Now, the person in front of me seems to want to replicate his good brother's path to power.

But he was better at feigning weakness than Jiang Yanzhi, and he seemed more harmless.

His words were exceptionally considerate.

He was clearly a proud and unyielding young master, but now he looked like a kept woman by middle-aged men.

But looking at Tang Wanwan, who seemed harmless and had already been fooled by Jiang Yanzhi once, how could he easily believe her?

Her lips twitched slightly, and she was about to politely refuse when her wrist tightened, and she was pulled into the arms of the patient on the bed.

"Don't be so heartless to me, please give me a chance to stay by your side."

Gu Yunyi held her carefully, his voice pleading, "I promise, I will be a perfect secret lover. As long as you don't agree, I will never do anything to make things difficult for you."

It was utterly humiliating. Tang Wanwan couldn't bear to listen any longer.

She felt a tightness in her chest, nudged him, and tried to stand up.

Gu Yunyi held her very carefully, without using much force, and she easily pushed him away. When he saw her stand up, he thought she was going to leave, and he panicked and hurriedly tried to get down as well.

I completely forgot about the injury on my foot.

As a result, she gasped in pain as soon as she curled up her legs.

Tang Wanwan was startled and hurriedly reached out to help him, but Gu Yunyi grabbed her wrist instead.

"Don't go! Don't go!"

She's gone, and she won't be coming back.

I'm afraid I'll never see him in private again.

Seeing him in his hospital gown, pale-faced and in such a state of panic, Tang Wanwan felt both heartache and helplessness. "Gu Yunyi, can't you have some backbone?"

"no,"

If you have backbone, you can't hug her.

Gu Yunyi sat up and hugged her waist again, burying his face in her abdomen, his voice muffled: "I don't want pride, I want you."

Once he has made up his mind, he will beg for the person no matter what.

Tang Wanwan stood there stiffly, speechless.

She wanted to ask, "We've only known each other for a short time, do you already like me that much?"

He liked her so much that he was willing to be her mistress.

He liked her so much that he disregarded brotherhood.

He loved her so much that he was willing to humble himself and set aside his pride to keep her.

Really...

Tang Wanwan began to examine her own heart.

An unexpected kiss made it impossible for her to treat him as just a friend.

She has feelings for Gu Yunyi.

Even if that feeling might have come from a snake that had frightened her, in which his kiss left her flustered and her heart racing.

In that absurd dream, Jiang Yanzhi was the male protagonist.

Shen Xianyu is a supporting male character.

Only Gu Yunyi had no identity whatsoever.

Of the three boys, he was the only one who was safe.

She dared not invest too much emotion in Jiang Yanzhi.

She also reluctantly broke up with Shen Xianyu.

But Gu Yunyi is different.

She can give...

Tang Wanwan thought for a long time, and finally slowly reached out and patted his shoulder: "Let go of me first."

He buried his head in her waist and abdomen; this position not only made him appear vulnerable but also overly intimate.

As if to prove her harmlessness, Gu Yunyi immediately obeyed and released her arm and raised his head as soon as she spoke.

His eyes had turned red without Tang Wanwan noticing, and from her angle, her thick eyelashes were clearly visible.

It really is quite beautiful.

She pursed her lips, sat down again, and with her red eyes, said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I still can't agree to your request."

Gu Yunyi's eyes dimmed little by little.

...How cruel.

He tried so hard to open his heart, to humble himself and show weakness, just to move her and soften her heart.

You don't need to like him that much, just be soft-hearted towards him once.

Give him an opening, and he can slowly erode it.

How could such a good girl be so heartless to him?
