A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 165 Her Plaything?

Because he understood, and knew that she would continue to be entangled with Jiang Yanzhi, he absolutely could not sit idly by.

Otherwise, there would be no place for him.

If he doesn't compete or fight, then Jiang Yanzhi is destined to be the biggest winner.

I didn't taste anything special at lunch.

After the meal, the three of them moved to the tea pavilion for a drink.

Tang Wanwan looked at the man who had been by her side the whole time and said, "Aren't you busy? There's no need for you to stay with me all the time."

"It's not that busy," Shen Zhixing poured her tea and said with a faint smile, "I have to use the people under me. I can't do everything myself."

“…Oh.” Tang Wanwan nodded.

If he hadn't called so frequently, she might have actually believed him.

A sip of tea dispelled the last lingering discomfort of a hangover.

Tang Wanwan felt refreshed, and her eyes brightened. "Good tea, it's Pu'er."

Shen Zhixing smiled and refilled her cup, "You rarely have tea with your father, do you?"

He sends this tea to her father every year.

Tang Wanwan understood the implication and pursed her lips, saying, "My dad has some good tea, but he's reluctant to let me drink it. He thinks I don't know how to appreciate it and that I'm just wasting my time."

“I see,” Shen Zhixing looked up at her, his eyes smiling. “Then I’ll prepare two portions from now on.”

He didn't say that he had given up Tang's father's share.

For him, his future father-in-law was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.

In recent years, she has been deliberately trying to win over Tang's father, all so that her path to marrying him in the future would be smoother.

Tang Wanwan pretended not to understand his words and said, "I don't want yours. I won't have a chance to drink tea if I stay in the dormitory."

Shen Zhixing was taken aback. "You plan to stay in the dormitory indefinitely?"

Seeing her nod, he frowned slightly: "Living in a group requires energy to maintain interpersonal relationships, and you may not be able to adapt."

Before Tang Wanwan could speak, he continued, "I have an apartment near University A. I lived there for a few years when I was in college. The decor is quite simple, and it's fully furnished and equipped. You can move in after a little tidying up. You..."

Qian Qinglei, who was standing nearby and saw the two of them talking back and forth, felt like a huge third wheel. She greeted them and then left.

There are guest rooms available for a midday rest.

You can also fish, enjoy tea, play chess, ride horses, shoot arrows, and there's even a hot spring pool.

She thought about it and realized that she couldn't sleep, and riding a horse right after eating wasn't a good idea either.

Finally, I chose fishing.

Calmness and concentration suit her well right now.

They even made a point of avoiding the place where they had bumped into Fu Jingbai that morning.

inside.

Tang Wanwan shook her head and declined his offer. "I live in the dormitory. I met my roommates yesterday, and they all seemed easy to get along with."

Since she had already said that, Shen Zhixing didn't say anything more and continued to raise his arm to refill her cup.

The room quieted down, with only the subtle aroma of tea lingering in the air.

A short while later, Shen Zhixing's phone rang again, and an assistant rushed over with documents, asking him to review and sign them.

Even though you're so busy, you still insist on staying here with me.

Tang Wanwan rested her chin on her hand, looking at the person opposite her.

A man looking focused on his work is quite handsome.

She didn't dare look any longer, quickly looked away, drank her tea in one gulp, and said, "You're busy, I'm going out to play with Leilei."

The safety here was beyond question, so Shen Zhixing didn't stop her, saying that he would teach her to ride a horse once he was done with his work.

After asking the waiter where Qian Qinglei was, Tang Wanwan waved her hand, telling them not to follow her, and went to look for her herself.

The pavilions, terraces, bridges, and waterside pavilions are truly beautiful.

Tang Wanwan wasn't in a hurry to find Qian Qinglei anymore. She walked around and looked around, finally standing on the viewing platform, feeding the koi in the pond with fish bait.

Suddenly a long shadow approached from behind.

She was startled and turned around.

Jiang Yanzhi had somehow appeared behind her. When she turned around, he narrowed his eyes and stared at her intently.

Starting from her eyebrows and eyes, the ink slowly flows downwards, gradually slid down, finally resting on her raised collar.

His eyes were like knives, as if trying to pierce her clothes and see what was inside.

Its aggressiveness is self-evident.

Tang Wanwan felt uncomfortable, turned away from his gaze, patted the bait in her hand, and turned to leave.

As we passed each other, my wrist was grabbed by the person next to me.

"Where did you and Qian Qinglei spend the night last night?"

Tang Wanwan was stunned.

How...how did he know that the two of them didn't sleep in the dorm last night?

She just reported yesterday, has he already contacted her roommates?
Thinking of this, Tang Wanwan's face turned ugly: "In just one day, you've already put your hands in my dorm room?"

Jiang Yanzhi was using all his remaining rationality to control himself and not hurt her.

He couldn't hear any other sounds at all, and he ignored her words completely.

His fingers trembled slightly as he grasped her wrist, persistently pressing, "Answer me, where did you spend the night last night?... As long as you tell me, I will believe you."

The sound was very soft and calm.

Eerily calm.

Tang Wanwan was annoyed by his omnipresence and had no intention of answering him. She struggled to get away from him.

But he gripped her wrist tightly.

"Speak,"

Jiang Yanzhi said, "Tell me you didn't do anything, that you weren't as impatient as I thought, that you weren't with Shen Zhixing last night, and that you didn't deliberately toy with my feelings. As long as you tell me, I'll believe you. Anyway, I'm infatuated with you."

"You let go!"

Tang Wanwan frowned, unable to break free from his grip, and felt that every word he said was sarcastic.

She was thoroughly fed up with his domineering and controlling manner. Considering they had already broken up, she didn't bother to come up with an excuse and simply retorted, "Haven't you investigated everything with your connections? Why are you asking me?"

Jiang Yanzhi nodded slightly: "The investigation has been completed."

Of course he investigated everything thoroughly.

She and Qian Qinglei were picked up by Shen Zhixing's men and taken to the Royal Club. The two drank alone and even ordered male models. Finally, Shen Zhixing arrived.

The two of them spent the night in Shen Zhixing's private suite upstairs in the club.

I didn't come out all night.

What did they do?
What have you done?
A vein throbbed on his forehead, but he still tried his best to keep his tone gentle: "I just want to ask you, is there anything else you want to say?"

He still held a faint hope that perhaps all of this... was a misunderstanding.

However, upon hearing this, the girl in front of him merely pursed her lips and said in an extremely nonchalant tone, "I have nothing to say."

I have nothing to say...

Every word was pleasing to the ear.

Jiang Yan's jaw suddenly tightened, and his eyes turned cold.

He reached out to grab her chin, then abruptly pushed her against a stone pillar next to the viewing pavilion, leaning close to her.

He held her wrist with one hand and grasped her chin with the other, forcing her to raise her head while he lowered his eyes to look into hers.

When they first met, she was wearing a mask, and he was immediately drawn to her eyes.

Later, I gradually became addicted to it.

He boasted that he had never made a mistake in judging people.

I think she is lively and kind, soft-hearted and pure, and sincere in her dealings with people. She is definitely not a frivolous or casual girl who is looking for something better while keeping her options open.

But the result?

She's full of lies; she has no sincerity whatsoever.

Whether it was for him or for Shen Xianyu.

it's the same.

Once they get it, they discard it like worn-out shoes and move on to the next one without looking back.

What did she take him for?
Her plaything?

Her spoils?
