A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 149 "...I'll split it with you."

Mingming has been carefully curbing his possessiveness these past few days, giving her plenty of personal space.

Why does she still want to break up with him?
Jiang Yanzhi immediately thought of Shen Xianyu.

It was quickly ruled out.

She was with him for ulterior motives.

That goal made her give up on Shen Xianyu.

Now, she has gained nothing and shouldn't turn back.

...Shen Zhixing?

Less likely.

Jiang Yanzhi's mind raced.

He looked at the delicate-looking girl in front of him and tried his best to soften his voice, "You really want to break up with me?"

Tang Wanwan hummed in agreement and nodded, repeating, "If I insist on breaking up, are you not going to let me leave this villa?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hand around his waist tightened suddenly.

Jiang Yanzhi grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. "What are you saying? I don't engage in illegal detention, and I would never do that to you."

Tang Wanwan neither agreed nor disagreed.

She placed her hand on his shoulder. "So, will you say yes?"

Jiang Yanzhi did not nod.

He said, "I never treat feelings as a game, nor have I ever toyed with or violated any girl's chastity. I've only ever been close to you. This is my first relationship, and I won't accept an ambiguous breakup."

“Wanwan,” he said in a low, husky voice, “I just hope you’ll take our feelings for granted.”

Don't break up lightly.

Don't keep thinking about dumping him.

In the end, it all boils down to not wanting to break up.

Tang Wanwan pursed her lips, about to remind him that breaking up is something that only requires one party's agreement.

He said, "I understand your anger and frustration that your friend, whom you consider a sister, has suffered such a thing."

"But your decision right now isn't rational. Once you calm down, if you still feel that breaking up is the only way to feel better,"

He paused for a moment before continuing, "...I'll split it with you."

His voice was hoarse, and he spoke slowly and deliberately.

He said: I'll share it with you.

Tang Wanwan's pupils suddenly widened.

This is truly wonderful news!

Those almond-shaped eyes shone with bright surprise.

Jiang Yanzhi was stunned.

Even faster than anger came doubt.

In his view, even if she was truly tired of her relationship with him.

It shouldn't be like this... such a pleasant surprise.

When she heard that he was willing to break up, her most subconscious reaction was surprise.

It seems that... I have finally accomplished something that has been weighing on my mind for a very long time.

Jiang Yanzhi's brow twitched, and an unbelievable thought flashed through his mind. Before he could catch it, he was interrupted by the person in front of him.

Tang Wanwan blinked. "You have to keep your word. I'll take a few days to 'cool down' and then see if I want to break up with you after school starts."

Jiang Yanzhi pursed his lips, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Wanwan, don't play with me."

How can someone be so perceptive?

Tang Wanwan had a terrible headache.

A headache from exhaustion.

She nodded haphazardly and responded twice, "Don't worry, I'm very serious about relationships. I'll think carefully before breaking up and I'll never make a hasty decision."

“…Okay,” Jiang Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, his heart, which had been in his throat, slowly returned to his chest. He gave her a genuine smile and kissed her forehead hard: “You scared me to death.”

He reassured himself that she was deliberately trying to scare him.

The mention of the start of the school year was just something I said casually.

After all, playing with his feelings wouldn't do her any good.

Tang Wanwan touched her forehead and said, "I want to go home."

Jiang Yanzhi was reluctant to let go, wanting to vent her anger, so he coaxed, "Do you want me to take you to beat someone up?" Of course, the person he meant to beat up was his good brother, Fu Jingbai.

Tang Wanwan shook her head. "I need to ask Qian Qinglei before I can decide whether to get involved. She didn't tell me about this, so I can only pretend I don't know for now."

The most important thing between friends is respect.

She respects all of Qian Qinglei's decisions.

This incident was embarrassing and shameful for Qian Qinglei.

It should be Qian Qinglei who tells her, instead of her rushing over and demanding the so-called truth.

Actually, she didn't want to ask Jiang Yanzhi at all today.

However, she is not very good at maintaining her composure and is not very calm.

However, after only a few words, I couldn't help but ask a question.

Jiang Yanzhi thought for a moment and understood her thoughts, feeling both bittersweet and tender.

As a friend, his Wanwan is really gentle and considerate.

As a lover, she...

Tang Wanwan had no idea what he was secretly criticizing about her, so she gave him a push and said, "My home is quite far from here, can you give me a ride?"

They hadn't seen each other for several days, and every time they met, they argued. After finally easing the tension, Jiang Yanzhi was reluctant to let him go.

He glanced at his watch and said, "Have dinner with me before you go back?"

Tang Wanwan politely declined, honestly saying, "I don't really want to see you right now."

Jiang Yanzhi: "..."

He dared not speak out against his anger, obediently took the keys, and pulled her out the door.

The two got into the car.

He couldn't help but ask again, "How did you suddenly get in touch with Shen Zhixing? What's his opinion of you...?"

"What do you want to say?"

Unable to bear his jealous and sarcastic tone, Tang Wanwan interrupted him, frowning as she asked, "Does being with you mean I have to cut off all contact with any other men I know?"

Jiang Yan choked, his jawline taut, and said in a strained voice, "He's very good at manipulating people's hearts. I'm just worried that you'll be bewitched by him and suffer a loss at his hands."

"Then you can rest assured. I've known him for three years and trust him quite a bit. In this time, if he really wanted to do something to me, he would have had countless opportunities to succeed. There's no need for you to worry."

Tang Wanwan's tone was extremely impatient, and she gave a cold laugh: "Or do you think everyone is like Fu Jingbai, who resorts to force and robbery when they can't get someone's consent?"

Fu Jingbai is the Achilles' heel.

Jiang Yanzhi's face was extremely ugly, yet he didn't dare to provoke her in her current state.

I'm afraid she really intends to break up.

But she was still bothered by Shen Zhixing. After a moment of silence, she continued, "He has ulterior motives towards you. Don't let him get close to you."

The thought of her going out alone with someone early in the morning made him incredibly jealous.

Shen Zhixing is no pushover; he has crushed countless rivals in the business world.

He appears gentle and refined, but in reality, he is ruthless and merciless.

Tang Wanwan ignored his words.

She has made up her mind to officially break up after the start of the semester, which will only take a few days.

There's no need to say anything more to him.

As for Shen Zhixing…

She can no longer treat him as an elder.

But Shen Zhixing was right about one thing: even if a deal falls through, goodwill should remain.

He never did anything to hurt her.

It's certainly not a respectable thing for a 22-year-old man to fall for a 15-year-old girl, who is also his nephew's girlfriend.

But he kept his feelings very carefully hidden.

Not only did she not notice, but Shen Xianyu did not notice either.

For three whole years, the most outrageous thing he did was hug her while drunk.

For a 25-year-old man, he's practically a pure love god.

Besides, just as Shen Zhixing said, he could protect her from Jiang Yanzhi.

If she were to break up with him four more times in the future, and wanted to walk away unscathed, there was really no need for her to cut all ties with Shen Zhixing.
