A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 143 Once he's used up all his initial advantage, what will he have left?
His long, slender fingers curled slightly as he pursed his lips impatiently.

"I want to say that no matter when, whether you're with me or not, I hope you're doing well."

"No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can tell me. Don't face them alone. I can provide all kinds of help at any time."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

She somewhat understood what he meant.

It's hard on him, being so busy. In the business world, a man who might not even need to be so roundabout has gone through all this trouble with her.

The hand holding the teacup slowly tightened; the porcelain cup was very thin, and if any more force was applied, it would probably shatter.

Shen Zhixing glanced at it and frowned, "Don't hurt your hand."

He took the porcelain cup from her hand and said, "I have never hurt you before, and I never will. Can you tell me why you are with Jiang Yanzhi?"

I asked directly.

Tang Wanwan didn't hesitate for long before she was about to speak.

Shen Zhixing spoke first: "Being with him is good for your health?"

"..." Tang Wanwan was speechless, swallowing back the words that were about to come out, and just stared at him.

His eyes were full of helplessness.

"You guessed right?" Shen Zhixing's eyes darkened immediately, and he asked again, "Is only he capable of this?"

Tang Wanwan remained silent.

It's been tacitly agreed again.

The speculation that had been going on all night had come true, and Shen Zhixing's expression changed drastically. "What right does he have?!"

His rare loss of emotional control lasted only a moment, and he quickly suppressed the rising resentment, saying, "Is there a time limit? Or are you going to spend your whole life by his side?"

"Stop talking," Tang Wanwan said, unwilling to listen any longer. She tried to stand up, but her wrist was held down.

Shen Zhixing took a deep breath, softened his tone, and said, "Tell me, is there anything I can do to help you?"

Upon learning the truth, his first words were surprisingly this.

Tang Wanwan's breathing hitched slightly as she said, "No."

Shen Zhixing nodded, "If you need any help, don't be shy about asking me."

He said, "Although I have my own motives, I will never force you and only hope that you will have your way."

His tone was serious, and every word was solemn.

A man who asks for nothing in return and only hopes that the girl he admires will have everything go smoothly is extremely rare among ordinary people.

Moreover, this was especially true for Shen Zhixing, who was already extremely wealthy and powerful.

That's incredibly rare.

Even though Tang Wanwan remained unmoved, she couldn't help but feel shocked.

She lowered her eyes to look at her wrist, which he was holding. Before she could speak, Shen Zhixing had already let go.

He said, "You've changed too much. Don't blame me for investigating your experiences these past few days."

Tang Wanwan pursed her lips, "You've already investigated, are you afraid I'll blame you?"

"It's hard to say," Shen Zhixing said softly, looking at her. "Believe it or not, I'm actually quite scared."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

She was speechless and choked.

"Alright," Shen Zhixing sighed softly, "I'm not joking with you anymore, let's talk about serious matters."

He sat up straight and said, "I don't know how long you're going to be with him, whether you'll break up in the future, or how you plan to break up. I just want to tell you that Jiang Yanzhi is a tough guy to mess with."

"He has had a very smooth life from childhood to adulthood, both academically and professionally. Whenever he is interested in something, he doesn't even need to ask; countless people who are good at reading people will offer it to him."

“I think that in all his years, he has never had anything he particularly wanted but couldn’t have, so he usually seems quite normal.”

Although he was a bit cold, he was still easy to talk to and willing to reason with people.

Tang Wanwan listened quietly, then frowned and asked, "What do you want to say?"

What do you want to remind her of?
“I want to say that he seems quite stubborn about you. If you ever decide to break up with him, remember to tell me in advance,” Shen Zhixing said, looking at her. “Shen Xianyu may not be able to protect you, but I definitely can.”

Tang Wanwan: "...He won't hurt me."

Her words were practically an admission that she would break up with Jiang Yanzhi one day.

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Shen Zhixing was very perceptive; a smile almost instantly appeared in his eyes.

"You didn't understand what I meant,"

He relaxed a bit, leaned back slowly in his chair, and chuckled, "What I mean is, he's not so easy to shake off. He won't hurt you, but he won't let you off easily either."

"..."

Tang Wanwan fell silent.

Looking back on Jiang Yanzhi's domineering and autocratic behavior over the past few days, she actually felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

If she says she wants to break up, will Jiang Yanzhi obediently agree?

...Shen Xianyu couldn't protect her?

Even if she could protect him, she was unwilling to drag Shen Xianyu into the mess before she had completely severed ties with Jiang Yanzhi.

"Alright," Shen Zhixing's voice interrupted her thoughts.

He stood up and said, "Let's go back."

Having achieved his objective, Shen Zhixing chose to stop there.

Anyway, he never thought he could win the girl over in a short time.

We must proceed gradually.

Now that he was certain she didn't dislike him and was willing to trust him as always, everything else could be taken slowly.

He is in no rush.

Jiang Yanzhi was destined not to keep her, but he had a slight advantage in terms of physical intimacy.

Once he's used up his initial advantage, what will he have left?
What's more...

Thinking about what he had found out, Shen Zhixing asked her, "Have you been in contact with Qian Qinglei recently?"

The two had already left the private room when Tang Wanwan heard this and said, "She's been busy dating Xu Yang, and we haven't been in touch much these days."

As she spoke, she seemed a little surprised, "Why are you suddenly asking about Leilei?"

Shen Zhixing pursed his lips slightly and remained silent.

Only after they reached the car and Tang Wanwan got into the passenger seat did he bend down slightly, look at her, and whisper, "Her family has had some trouble recently. Didn't they tell you?"

"What is it?" Suddenly realizing something, Tang Wanwan's eyes widened. "Fu Jingbai? What did he do?"

Shen Zhixing pursed his lips. "This is a very private matter. You should ask her yourself."

After saying that, he closed the passenger door and got into the driver's seat.

Tang Wanwan was stunned for a long time, and a lot of images suddenly popped into her mind.

It seems that ever since Fu Jingbai appeared at the driving school that day, she has never seen Qian Qinglei again.

She visited the Qian family twice, and both times the Qian family members appeared normal, not at all like something had happened.

Qian Qinglei replied to her message as well, her tone equally natural, without the slightest hint of anything amiss.

So, what exactly happened?
What coercive things did Fu Jingbai really do?

Then why didn't Qian Qinglei tell her?

—Does Jiang Yanzhi know this?
Tang Wanwan's brow twitched visibly. "Stop the car!"

"Parking is difficult here. Are you going to the Qian family's house? I'll take you there."

There's too much traffic on this road, and there are simply no parking spaces.

Tang Wanwan turned her head, her eyes filled with undisguised anger. "What exactly did Fu Jingbai do? What do you know? Tell me!"

"..." Shen Zhixing paused for a moment, carefully considering his words, and said, "She broke up with Xu Yang just a few days ago. As for why, I'll take you to the Qian family now, and you can ask her yourself."
