A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 145 "Don't tell me you're here to break up with me."

Jiang Yanzhi paused for a moment, then asked, "Who brought you here?"

“A friend,” Tang Wanwan said, breaking free from his embrace. “Can I come in? I have something to tell you.”

Jiang Yanzhi, who had originally intended to go over and see who was in the car, grabbed her waist and carried her inside.

Shen Zhixing watched the courtyard gate slam shut with a blank expression, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightening inch by inch.

It's ok.

he told himself.

For him, it was never about momentary pleasure.

The current advantage means nothing.

Jiang Yanzhi's laughter will not last.

They might break up today.

Shen Zhixing reassured himself again and again, and finally, expressionless, stepped on the gas and drove away.

…………

inside.

When Tang Wanwan entered, she saw several pairs of men's leather shoes and knew that there were quite a few people inside, which immediately calmed her down.

She only made Shen Zhixing stop the car on a whim.

In fact, since Qian Qinglei herself hadn't brought the matter up, she didn't know whether she should break the ice.

Shen Zhixing is right. She should only know about such things if Qian Qinglei herself is willing to tell her.

Instead, she obtained confirmation from the perpetrator's brother.

Tang Wanwan's mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to do.

Jiang Yanzhi found the shoes she had worn last time, had her change into them, and led her to sit down on the sofa, saying, "Wait for me for ten minutes."

If you're busy with work, then…

"Nothing urgent."

Jiang Yanzhi stood up and went upstairs.

In less than ten minutes, several men who looked like business elites came down one after another. They bowed slightly to Tang Wanwan on the sofa to greet her, and then quickly left.

When it was just the two of them, Jiang Yanzhi walked up to her, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then reached out to hug her.

Tang Wanwan stepped aside to avoid it, saying, "Stop hugging and cuddling all the time."

"..." Jiang Yanzhi asked in a low voice, "Would you like something to drink?"

"casual."

Tang Wanwan had no appetite for anything to drink, so she just gave a perfunctory reply before he pulled her up.

He said, "Then I'll brew you some tea."

The two entered the tea room.

They sat facing each other across the tea table.

The tea set is made of a complete set of mutton fat jade, which is quite valuable and exquisitely crafted.

Tang Wanwan knew his hands were beautiful from their first meeting.

At this moment, those long, slender fingers were fiddling with the smooth, lustrous white jade tea set, and it was hard to tell which was more flawless.

She watched intently.

Jiang Yanzhi smiled slightly, and his tea-brewing movements became even more slow and deliberate.

Tea can calm the mind.

The pleasant fragrance filled her nostrils, and Tang Wanwan felt a sense of peace.

Jiang Yanzhi held a jade teapot, poured her a cup of tea, and asked, "Do I know the person who brought you here?"

She didn't drive herself.

That Range Rover is clearly a man's car.

That is, the day he bumped into Shen Zhixing confessing his feelings was at night, and he didn't see the other party's car clearly, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked that question.

Tang Wanwan didn't hide anything from him and answered frankly, "It's Shen Zhixing."

Jiang Yanzhi froze, then abruptly looked up.

"You were with him?"

“Yes,” Tang Wanwan said, her gaze meeting his without flinching, and she even smiled at him. “I ran into him at a banquet last night, and he came to my house today. I even went out for breakfast with him.”

The tea room suddenly fell silent.

Only the teapot beside it was bubbling away.

Jiang Yanzhi stared intently at her, his eyes gradually darkening. "What were you two talking about?"

"He said a lot, basically that he likes me, really likes me, just repeating the same things over and over," Tang Wanwan laughed, "He's trying to steal your boyfriend."

"Oh," Jiang Yanzhi smiled slightly, "So what do you say?"

I said I'd think about it.

Consider it!

With a 'clang'.

Her sudden good mood vanished.

Jiang Yanzhi put down the teapot.

What are you considering?

"Don't tell me you're here to break up with me."

His tone was deep and cold, his eyes fixed firmly on her face.

His eyes were dark and murky, as if swirling with a storm.

Tang Wanwan was not intimidated and continued to meet his gaze.

Their eyes met for a moment, then Jiang Yanzhi stood up, walked to her, and pulled her into his arms. "Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?"

"What did I do wrong?"

He said softly, "You asked me to give you some space, and I haven't dared to bother you too much these past few days. Wanwan, don't bully me like this."

The familiar scent of cedarwood draws near, tinged with a faint aroma of tea.

Tang Wanwan sniffed lightly and said, "Let me tell you about my childhood."

"You know, I was in poor health when I was little and rarely went to school. For six years of elementary school, my only friend was Leilei,"

“I knew her even before I knew Shen Xianyu. We went to the same school for junior high and high school.”

"She's only two days older than me, and she takes care of me in everything,"

“I’m not in good health, and I envied them when I saw them having PE class. So she secretly led me in doing very simple stretching exercises. Several times, when I had a seizure and didn’t even have the strength to find my medicine, she fed me the medicine.”

"She carried me on her back, saved me, and even when I wanted to go to Beijing to find Shen Xianyu, she followed suit and took the college entrance exam for a university in Beijing. We promised to go to the same university and study the same major..."

"In my eyes, she is like my own sister."

As Jiang Yanzhi listened, his body gradually stiffened.

"When she was with Xu Yang, I even thought that if Xu Yang dared to treat her badly, I would make him pay. Fortunately, Xu Yang was sincere towards her, and their relationship was very good."

Tang Wanwan reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, whispering, "...Do you think she'll always be this happy?"

Jiang Yanzhi remained silent for a long time, his arms around her shoulders tightening inch by inch.

Tang Wanwan lifted her head from his waist and looked at him. "Is this question difficult to answer?"

"I can't answer that."

Jiang Yanzhi's lips moved slightly, and he said, "I am only responsible for your happiness. I cannot answer anyone else."

Without waiting for her reaction, he tightened his grip on the back of her neck, lowered his head, and kissed her lips.

Tang Wanwan didn't struggle and let him kiss her.

Each lost in their own thoughts, neither of them found the right feeling for the kiss.

Jiang Yanzhi gently kissed her lips, his eyes still open, staring at her drooping eyelashes.

After a long while, he released her lips, pulled her onto his lap, wrapped his arms around her waist, and asked, "Did you really go out with Shen Zhixing?"

Tang Wanwan nodded gently.

The hand around her waist tightened.

Jiang Yanzhi said, "Don't deliberately try to provoke me."

"..." Tang Wanwan smiled and said, "What's there to be angry about?"

"And you?" She looked up at him and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

The probing was so obvious, and combined with her long speech just now, Jiang Yanzhi's heart skipped a beat.

"For example?"

He said, "I have quite a few secrets."

Given his status, he must have countless little-known secrets, both in his public and private affairs.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell her, but if she didn't ask, he saw no need to bring it up.

—Unless she asks.
