A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 198: Who wouldn't be envious after reading this?
The well-cooled car interior fell silent.

This was the first conflict that occurred after they got back together.

There was no more of the previous arguing and fighting.

But Jiang Yanzhi cried.

A photo of him kissing Shen Xianyu caused him more harm than any of their previous arguments.

Tang Wanwan vaguely realized that this time, she had truly broken his heart.

How many times can even the purest sincerity be hurt like this?

Whether it was guilt or something else, Tang Wanwan felt very uncomfortable.

She blinked quickly, forcing back her tears.

The two embraced quietly for a while. Jiang Yanzhi released his arms, looked down at her for a moment, and then restarted the engine without saying a word.

I took her back to school.

…………

Starting that afternoon, all posts about her on the school forum were deleted.

No new posts are appearing anymore, and everything is returning to normal.

However, several of Tang Wanwan's roommates privately asked her who her real boyfriend was.

After getting the answer, Gao Siyao winked at her, "Don't worry, we'll keep it a secret."

“…No need,” Tang Wanwan smiled and said, “There’s no need to hide it. If anyone is curious, just say so.”

She and Jiang Yan were both unmarried, of similar age, and classmates, so it was perfectly normal for them to be dating.

As for the kissing photos with Shen Xianyu before.

No one will mention it again.

Tang Wanwan nodded in agreement.

Soon, the news that her real boyfriend was Jiang Yanzhi spread quickly.

Even though Young Master Jiang finally received official recognition, he didn't seem particularly happy.

It should be said that the atmosphere between them inexplicably began to stiffen that afternoon.

Even though they had already talked things out, he decided to let it go and not hold it against them anymore.

However, Tang Wanwan discovered that many things seemed to have changed without her noticing.

Although Jiang Yanzhi would still remember her class schedule and wait outside the teaching building to take her home.

Even at night, I would still watch her take her medicine and hold her as she fell asleep.

But when they were alone, he no longer made no attempt to hide his infatuation and love as before, and whenever there was a spare moment, he would pull her into his arms, wishing he could be with her every moment.

And those eye contact that only they could understand, those natural kisses when their emotions ran high...

It's all gone.

Even Tang Wanwan couldn't sense his precious appreciation for her.

His clinginess and infatuation used to annoy her and make her feel unbearable, but now that it's really gone, she feels a little lost.

The sweet love and affection we shared when we first got back together seems like just a beautiful dream, now gone without a trace.

What was Jiang Yanzhi thinking?
Tang Wanwan was unaware of his thoughts.

Between them, he was always the one trying to please her and win her over; when they were alone together, he was always the more enthusiastic one.

Once he becomes distant, she has no idea what to talk about to ease the tension.

A few days passed at a leisurely pace, and Gu Yunyi's birthday arrived, which happened to be a Wednesday.

Tang Wanwan goes to work at 8 a.m. She slept in her dorm room last night.

There is only one class in the afternoon.

As soon as I left the classroom after class, I received a call from Jiang Yanzhi.

He had an important meeting and couldn't leave, so he sent his female assistant to pick her up for a hair and makeup session.

Tang Wanwan went back to her dorm to get the gift she had prepared, and then got into the car.

On the way, Gu Yunyi sent her a video call, instructing her not to be late for the dinner.

She was implying that she was still asking about his birthday present.

As the birthday boy, he should be very busy today, yet he still remembers her calligraphy. Tang Wanwan felt helpless and could only shake the jade box in her hand, "It's here, I wrote it."

Gu Yunyi's eyes lit up. "Did you affix your personal seal?" He remembered that the painting in Shen Xianyu's hand had his personal seal on it.

Tang Wanwan was even more helpless. "I've stamped both the large and small seals, but they're not mounted properly. You'll have to mount them in your preferred style."

She simply put it in a box.

The box is rectangular, made of mutton fat jade, and looks quite expensive and presentable; it was definitely made with great care.

Gu Yunyi became even happier, his eyes sparkling like stars, unusually bright.

Tang Wanwan dared not look directly at him.

She turned her face away, about to hang up the video call, when the car stopped.

The female assistant in the passenger seat turned around and said respectfully, "Ms. Tang, we've arrived."

"Where have you been?"

Gu Yunyi looked away from her face, glanced at the street on his phone screen, and immediately recognized her. "Jiang Yanzhi is so busy, leaving you to choose a dress alone? How about I come over and keep you company?"

The assistant in front: "..."

What's going on?

Isn't this the boss's girlfriend? How come...

She kept her eyes down and didn't dare make a sound.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wanwan immediately refused, saying, "You go about your business, I can manage on my own."

Choosing a dress is nothing, it's not a big deal.

Besides, the stylists Jiang Yanzhi had arranged were already waiting.

Before long, she picked out a light gold dress, a strapless style with a very fitted waist.

Tang Wanwan changed into it, and it fit her perfectly.

When Jiang Yanzhi arrived, her makeup was already done and she was putting her hair up.

With gentle movements on her head, Tang Wanwan closed her eyes, leaning back in her chair, seemingly asleep.

There were quite a few staff members inside, but they all maintained a tacit silence.

Every now and then, everyone's eyes would drift towards Tang Wanwan, their eyes revealing either amazement or admiration.

Jiang Yanzhi ignored her, walked over in a few steps, moved a chair to her side, and sat down without waking the girl who was resting with her eyes closed.

Two assistants followed behind him, quietly ushering out all the irrelevant people, leaving only the two stylists doing his hair inside.

Tang Wanwan was not asleep. Sensing the changes around her, her thick eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

She smiled gently and asked, "Are you done with your work?"

Her dark, bright almond-shaped eyes sparkled, and with a gentle smile, her red lips and white teeth revealed an irresistible charm.

She is very beautiful.

Jiang Yanzhi always knew she was beautiful.

It's a compelling kind of beauty.

But she never wanted to spend time on dressing herself up, and she rarely even wore makeup.

This time, because she was going to meet his parents, she dressed herself up so meticulously.

A girl who rarely dresses up is truly captivating when she does so.

Jiang Yanzhi paused for a moment, then took her hand and felt a slight coolness.

He frowned slightly. "Are you cold?"

The room was very cold, and she was wearing very little clothing.

Large sections of her shoulders and neck were exposed, and further down, thanks to her height, one could easily see her slightly plump figure.

The hairstyle she chose was a bun, with everything pulled up to reveal her long, slender shoulders and neck.

There wasn't even the slightest attempt to cover it up.

No one knew better than Jiang Yanzhi that although the girl looked slender, she was actually perfectly proportioned, with every part of her body in the right place.

At this moment, large expanses of her smooth, delicate skin were exposed…

Who wouldn't be envious after seeing that?
