A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 200 "Don't force me to beat you up in a place like this."

"Unintentionally..."

Jiang Yanzhi grew increasingly annoyed and scoffed, "You always manage to see what you want to see."

Look, in his eyes, Shen Zhixing is a 'thing'.

It's still the 'thing' she wants to see.

Tang Wanwan was already fed up with his subtle changes these past few days, and now she was so angry at his words that she almost laughed.

I want to have a big fight with him, but I'm worried about the inappropriate occasion.

She hesitated for a long time, still not knowing how to respond, when Gu Yunyi had already walked up to her.

"We've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for so long."

He looked at her, his bright eyes sparkling with tiny lights. "You look so beautiful today."

The love in their eyes wasn't even clumsily concealed.

It was laid bare.

She seemed to completely ignore her boyfriend standing next to her.

Jiang Yanzhi felt his back teeth itch. He reached out and put his arm around Tang Wanwan's shoulder, a half-smile curving his lips. "Don't force me to beat you up in a place like this."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

Gu Yunyi: "..."

Even if you want to poach someone, you can't do it in front of them.

Gu Yunyi suppressed his resentment, his gaze falling on the jade box Tang Wanwan was holding, and smiled brightly at her: "Mine?"

Like a child who has received a favorite toy.

It was pure joy.

Tang Wanwan was stunned, awkwardly hummed in agreement, and handed the items over.

There is no rule about opening gifts directly in front of everyone.

Gu Yunyi took it from her and held it carefully, asking, "What did you write for me?"

Tang Wanwan didn't say anything, only saying, "You can open it yourself later."

“Okay,” Gu Yunyi said without asking any further questions.

He struggled to resist the urge to open it on the spot, handed the item to the attendant beside him, and instructed, "Keep it separate and don't let anyone damage it."

It really matters to me.

Tang Wanwan was filled with mixed feelings.

Her feelings for Gu Yunyi were complicated; she liked him, but it wasn't quite there yet.

To say I hate it is not true.

But if you say they're just ordinary friends, the kiss is there, and it's an undeniable fact that there was something between them.

She couldn't lie and say that she had absolutely no feelings for Gu Yunyi.

Especially when I look into his burning, bright eyes, I find it even harder to be cruel.

Indeed, in just a few months, her love life became incredibly complicated and tangled.

Tang Wanwan's current idea is to first figure out what exactly happened in that absurd dream.

They were talking over there.

Several more groups of guests arrived outside, including Shen Xianyu, along with his parents.

As the head of the family, Old Master Shen could not be invited to the younger generation's birthday banquets, even on special occasions like their twentieth birthday.

Gu Yunyi was about to enthusiastically introduce the venue for today's banquet to Tang Wanwan when Jiang Yanzhi, with his arm around her shoulder, remained motionless and gestured towards the manor entrance with his chin, "Go and greet your guests."

He had limited patience and couldn't stand seeing other men fawning over his girlfriend.

Again.

Don't force him to beat someone up in such a situation.

Gu Yunyi deflated and looked at Tang Wanwan.

What could Tang Wanwan say? She gave an awkward smile and said, "You go about your business, you don't need to keep bothering me."

Gu Yunyi reluctantly agreed and was about to leave when he saw Shen Xianyu, who had just come in, look around, spot their corner, and walk over without hesitation.

Tang Wanwan's heart was pounding.

She couldn't understand why these people didn't know how to restrain themselves. Look at Shen Zhixing, he just watched from afar and didn't come over to join in the fun.

Why can't they learn from this?

What a chaotic scene this is!

Tang Wanwan didn't want to deal with this situation, so she took the arm of the person next to her and said in a low voice, "I'm a little hungry, come with me to find something to eat."

Jiang Yanzhi watched Shen Xianyu walk this way, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, and stood motionless.

The air was thick with tension.

The tension was almost unbearable for Tang Wanwan, so she tightened her grip on his arm and changed the subject: "Aren't we supposed to meet your parents? Let's go now."

This isn't their private life.

With all the elders present, it's hard to say whether they'll lose face if things really escalate.

In short, she became famous.

It's not a good reputation either.

Jiang Yanzhi also thought of this, his tightly clenched jaw relaxed slightly, and he took her hand and walked towards the fountain in the distance.

There, the guests gathered in twos and threes, chatting.

On the open-air stage, a band was playing, and the lights were flashing.

Jiang Yanzhi handed a wine glass to Tang Wanwan and led her around the laughing and chatting guests.

The two were so good-looking that they attracted almost everyone's attention.

Especially Tang Wanwan, dressed in her finest attire.

Several guests were chatting with their friends when they caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of their eyes. It was just a fleeting glance, but they were so captivated that they forgot what they were going to say next.

But perhaps Jiang Yanzhi's cold and aloof image was too deeply ingrained in people's minds, or perhaps his expression was very serious; in any case, most of them just watched and didn't come up to get closer.

It wasn't until we went further inside that someone finally came to say hello.

A middle-aged man in his forties called out to him, his gaze falling on Tang Wanwan's face beside him. He paused for a moment, then asked, "Whose daughter is this?"

Jiang Yanzhi called out "Second Uncle" and said, "My girlfriend's surname is Tang, and her name is Tang Wanwan."

Then, he introduced Tang Wanwan: "This is my second uncle."

Tang Wanwan gave a slight bow and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Second Uncle."

Her voice was clear and melodious, like pearls falling onto a jade plate, pleasing to the ear.

A jade statue spoke.

This was the first reaction of everyone around.

Her smile was subtle yet polite, her posture was proper and poised, and she demonstrated excellent manners; she was clearly a well-mannered girl.

Yingying stood there, and no one could look away.

Everyone held their breath, and then began to wonder when the Tang family had appeared in Beijing.

And then there came such a... stunning beauty.

Everyone present was used to seeing beautiful women.

This was the first time I had ever directly experienced that there really are beauties in this world who are so captivating that you can't take your eyes off them.

Uncle Jiang, who was facing a direct hit, was stunned again. His gaze fell on the two people's clasped hands, and he asked, "Are you taking this to meet your parents?"

Jiang Yanzhi nodded: "That's right."

"You think you're going to become a monk?"

My second uncle smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to bring a girlfriend home so quickly after finding one."

As he spoke, he looked at Tang Wanwan and asked, "How did you meet?"

“Classmate,” Jiang Yanzhi replied naturally, tightening his grip on Tang Wanwan’s hand, “she is also a student at University A.”

Tang Wanwan: "..."

After saying a few more words, Uncle Jiang stopped trying to keep them and said with a smile, "Go on, your parents are inside."

Jiang Yanzhi clinked glasses with his uncle, and Tang Wanwan, who was standing next to him, was not left out either, and they clinked glasses together as well.

She tilted her head back and took a sip, only to find it bland and tasteless, just like plain water. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she heard someone next to her whisper, "You're taking medication, so you can't drink alcohol, not even champagne."
