A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 208 I can play with you, hurt you, but I can't break up with you.

"Why don't you tell me what you were trying to achieve with that long speech you just gave me?"

Just as she was about to start calculating the aftermath, Jiang Yanzhi's hand froze in mid-air for a moment before slowly withdrawing.

Tang Wanwan stared at him: "Were you just trying to break up?"

"..." Jiang Yanzhi stared at her for a while before saying, "You've hurt me too much, so much that I can't stand it and want to save myself."

Self-rescue...

It was as if being with her would kill him.

No girl would not be angry if she heard her boyfriend say that.

Tang Wanwan was the same.

While she was angry, she also felt lost and terrified.

He's already talking about 'saving himself' after just one breakup. What about the next four?
Jiang Yanzhi had no idea what she was thinking; his mind was still on the question from earlier.

After a few seconds of silence, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you feel bad when you introduced girls to Shen Xianyu?"

This answer was really important to him.

Tang Wanwan did not avoid answering.

With a blank expression, she said, "If you'd get jealous, I wouldn't need to introduce you."

Jiang Yanzhi accepted the letter.

The long-dried-up wellspring in my heart began to gush forth, constantly bubbling with bubbles called 'joy'.

He couldn't hide the smile on his face, and reached out to hug her again.

"Don't give me that!" Tang Wanwan brushed his hand away and took a step back. "Didn't you want to break up? Then let's break up!"

"Who said we were breaking up?"

Jiang Yanzhi reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace. He lowered his head to kiss her forehead and sighed softly, "I'm just jealous, so jealous that it hurts. I want you to comfort me and make me feel less pain."

The thought of breaking up crossed my mind.

When the pain became unbearable, he genuinely considered breaking up with his girlfriend to end it all.

But how difficult it is to actually say it out loud.

Especially since this girl is so carefree, and there are so many people around eyeing her covetously.

I'm afraid that no sooner he breaks up with her than she'll start dating someone else.

At that time, she will hug and kiss that person, and perhaps even share a bed with him.

Just thinking about Jiang Yanzhi makes me want to kill someone, how could I possibly break up with him?

He was her rightful, public boyfriend, so why should he make way for those scumbags?

Let those despicable people be anxious and frustrated, but they can't do anything about it. All they can do is watch them be loving and slowly give up. That's what he should do.

Tang Wanwan didn't break free from his embrace, but still grumbled unhappily, "What you just said meant you wanted to break up. If I hadn't explained, you would have taken the opportunity to break up with me."

"And then?" Jiang Yanzhi lifted her chin, looking down into her eyes. "If I really said we should break up, what would you do?"

How to do it?
The thought that he might dump her first made Tang Wanwan's face turn ugly: "What do you want me to do? Cry and beg you not to leave?"

"..."

The scene she described flashed through Jiang Yanzhi's mind, and his brows furrowed tightly. "I didn't mean that."

How could he bear to see her crying?

When has she ever begged him?

"I won't break up!" He lowered his head and kissed her lips hard, saying fiercely, "Go ahead and play me to death if you dare."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

She pursed her lips. "Then you promise that even if you're unhappy in the future, you won't have that thought again."

Only she can initiate the breakup.

That's what Tang Wanwan meant.

But in Jiang Yanzhi's eyes, these words meant that she couldn't bear to part with him.

She was also very concerned about the breakup.

His joy grew even stronger. He held her in his arms and said earnestly, "I promise I will never mention this thought again."

Tang Wanwan wasn't satisfied yet. After thinking for a while, she added, "Even if I hurt you again in the future, you can't mention breaking up."

"..." Jiang Yanzhi's expression stiffened, his eyes revealing a hint of scrutiny: "What do you mean? How heartbroken are you?"

Having endured his numerous interrogations, Tang Wanwan had developed a certain composure, and she remained calm even in the face of his suspicious gaze.

She cleared her throat and said righteously, "Couples will have conflicts. What I mean is, if you're unhappy again next time, or if we argue, and I have a bad temper and do something that makes you feel like I'm playing with you or hurting you, you can't bring up breaking up."

The surroundings became quiet.

Jiang Yanzhi stared at her for a long time without saying a word.

Tang Wanwan reached out and poked his cheek. "Did you hear that? Come on, give me a promise."

She brought up such an unequal treaty with such self-righteousness.

Those who are loved truly take it for granted.

Jiang Yanzhi didn't find her spoiled or willful, but this kind of promise...

His lips twitched slightly. "You really need this kind of guarantee?"

Did he really make her feel insecure like this?

But she didn't seem insecure.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wanwan nodded without hesitation: "Of course I need to! Anyway, you have to promise me."

Jiang Yanzhi was once again unable to figure out what she was thinking.

How could there be such a girl?

After breaking up and getting back together twice, he could feel that she loved him.

I care about him.

After they got back together, she loved to bury her face in the crook of his neck and smell his scent.

He seemed completely devoted to this relationship.

Sometimes, Jiang Yanzhi even had the illusion that she couldn't live without him.

But more often than not, he sensed her perfunctory attitude; she wasn't putting her heart into the relationship and was always ready to walk away.

Previously, he thought she was indecisive or still had feelings for Shen Xianyu.

Now that he knows she introduced a girlfriend to Shen Xianyu, he doesn't think so anymore.

So, why does she need such a guarantee?
She hurt him, she toyed with him, but he couldn't even think about breaking up with her.

—Is she convinced that one day in the future she will do something to hurt him?

Upon reaching this conclusion, Jiang Yanzhi felt a sudden, sharp pain in his chest.

The pain made his breath tremble. He couldn't care less about anything else. He gripped her chin tightly and lowered his head to kiss her.

The kiss carried a hint of uncertain resentment.

I don't know whether I hate myself for being so useless, or I hate her.

He forcefully pried open her lips and stole her breath.

The kiss was fierce and brutal.

Tang Wanwan didn't actually struggle; she tilted her head back and let him kiss her.

But soon her legs started to feel weak, and if it weren't for the hands around her waist holding her firmly, she would have been unable to stand steadily in her high heels.

Even so, she quickly reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

A sudden kiss, and in the end, their breathing became heavy.

"I promise…"

Jiang Yanzhi grabbed her waist with one hand and held the back of her neck with the other, pulling her into his arms. His voice was deep and hoarse: "I promise that even if you play me to death, I will never take the initiative to break up with you. But Wanwan, you have to promise me one thing."

Tang Wanwan leaned against his chest, panting, and said without looking up, "Go on."

“Only me,” Jiang Yanzhi pressed his lips to her ear. “You can do whatever you want, but you can only play with me. There can’t be a second time about that photo.”
