A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 212 No Subservience Allowed! Call him directly!
Tang Wanwan agreed, "Okay, then it's tonight."

Having received a positive reply, Gao Siyao happily sent a message to her boyfriend.

Song Xiaotong suddenly looked at Tang Wanwan and said with a smile, "In our dorm, only you and Yaoyao have boyfriends. Yaoyao's boyfriend treated us to a meal. Wanwan, when is your boyfriend going to treat us to a meal too?"

"To be honest, none of us know Wanwan's boyfriend yet."

“Last time, when Wanwan’s boyfriend walked her back downstairs, I happened to be passing by,”

Shi Minjia said, "Her boyfriend has a very strong presence. He doesn't seem like a student at all. He looks like a very busy person. He probably doesn't have time to have dinner with us."

"No matter how busy they are, they're still students. I saw him and Wanwan eating in the cafeteria before."

Gao Siyao, who was texting her boyfriend, also joined the conversation upon hearing this.

Her eyes lit up as she looked up from the screen: "So handsome! Extremely handsome! Putting everything else aside, he and Wanwan are a perfect match in terms of looks."

"We can talk about treating next time. Let's get tonight's arrangements sorted out first."

Gao Siyao looked at Tang Wanwan with a 'you brat, you're eating so well' look and said enthusiastically, "Why don't you have your boyfriend come along tonight? My boyfriend will be bringing a few of his buddies from the sports college next door, so we can all get to know each other."

"Wow!"

Upon hearing that there would be men at the dinner party that evening, Shi Minjia immediately perked up. "Are they handsome? How many are coming? Pick a few with good figures and looks, I also want to find a boyfriend."

"Athletes' physiques can't be bad, right?"

Gao Siyao was texting her boyfriend on her phone when she asked Tang Wanwan, "Wanwan, is your boyfriend coming?"

Faced with the enthusiasm of her roommates, Tang Wanwan couldn't bring herself to refuse. She took out her phone and said, "Let me ask him if he has time."

If Jiang Yanzhi were just an ordinary sophomore, a few young people getting together would be nothing more than making more friends.

But he is not.

He followed his schedule every day.

She's staying at school tonight, so he might not have time.

Other arrangements may have already been made.

Considering that Jiang Yanzhi was still in class, Tang Wanwan sent a message.

Seeing that she didn't even dare to make a phone call, Song Xiaotong frowned and said, "Wanwan, you are the campus belle of our A University. Don't be so humble when you're in a relationship. Stand up for yourself. Isn't it just a matter of your word whether your boyfriend goes or not?"

At their age, most of their friends who are in relationships are being pampered by their boyfriends.

For example, Gao Siyao from the dormitory, during her more than twenty days of military training, her boyfriend would come over every now and then to bring her food and drinks.

He's the perfect boyfriend.

Compared to Jiang Yanzhi, who has never appeared in public, Tang Wanwan's relationship seems particularly aggrieved.

In particular, Young Master Jiang's face is cold and imposing, truly an aloof and unattainable beauty, not at all like someone who would bend down to coax a girlfriend.

There's a strong sense of distance.

Now, when Tang Wanwan asked him if he wanted to come over for dinner that night, he didn't dare to call her directly, but instead thoughtfully sent her a message.

That makes me feel even more strongly about it.

Shi Minjia added, "Even if his family is rich and powerful, you're still the school beauty. There's no need for you to humble yourself! Call him directly!"

Having lived for eighteen years, this was the first time Tang Wanwan had been associated with the word 'humble'.

She exclaimed "Ah!" and looked up hesitantly, "But he's in class."

"What's so important about attending class? You can answer the phone during class just the same time, right?"

Song Xiaotong said, "At most I'll keep my voice down. What's a phone call? With a girlfriend as beautiful as you, I'd skip class to answer the phone if I had to."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

She didn't quite agree.

Shi Minjia, standing beside her, nodded in deep agreement: "Xiaotong is right. Girls should be a little demanding. If you're too understanding, men won't take you seriously."

Tang Wanwan: "..." She looked at Gao Siyao, trying to find a different opinion.

But Gao Siyao also said, "That's how dating is. Girls shouldn't be too sensible if they don't act up a little. Isn't that how relationships are built? The more you act up, the more the guy will give and the more reluctant he will be to let you go."

Tang Wanwan's pupils slowly widened. "There's such a saying?"

All three heads nodded in unison.

"..." Tang Wanwan was almost persuaded.

She paused for a moment, but still stuck to her opinion, "Forget it, I'll ask him in person at lunchtime."

After saying that, he put away his phone and didn't even send a message.

In Shi Minjia and her friends' eyes, it was simply because she was afraid of upsetting her rich and handsome boyfriend.

The irrefutable evidence of extreme caution.

They were somewhat angry at their lack of ambition.

"Is he very short-tempered? Are you afraid he'll be unhappy?"

Song Xiaotong said, "Weren't there two senior students pursuing you at the same time before? If it really doesn't work out, let's find someone with a better temper. Girls should be more carefree when dating, it's all about emotional value. What's so great about having money? We won't spoil him."

Tang Wanwan, who had lived a wealthy life since childhood, did not understand the possible meaning behind these words. Upon hearing this, she earnestly explained, "He has a good temper and gives me emotional support. You don't need to worry. I won't let myself be wronged."

No one believes it.

Song Xiaotong sighed softly, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Although I haven't met those second-generation rich kids, I can imagine that they are born into a high and mighty family, and probably not many of them have good tempers. Why force a smile and suffer this grievance?"

Tang Wanwan, who was accused of 'putting on a brave face,' genuinely found it somewhat amusing.

She smiled and said, "I know you care about me. How about this, in a few days, when he has time, I'll have him treat you to a meal, and then you'll know I wasn't lying to you."

That’s all I have to say.

Song Xiaotong choked and said nothing more.

Shi Minjia and Gao Siyao cheered.

Gao Siyao, holding her phone, said, "Then we'll have to help you shut him down and let him know that being a boyfriend isn't so easy."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

She rubbed her forehead and smiled bitterly, offering no further explanation.

…………

I ate lunch in the cafeteria.

Qian Qinglei wasn't here today, and neither was Fu Jingbai, who was always by her side.

Only Tang Wanwan and Jiang Yanzhi were sitting at the dining table, facing each other.

The food at University A's cafeteria is actually quite varied, absolutely clean, and nutritionally balanced.

So when Tang Wanwan brought Young Master Jiang to eat in the cafeteria, she didn't think he was condescending.

She picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and took a bite; the sweet and sour taste was very appetizing.

After finishing a piece of pork rib, Tang Wanwan said to the person opposite her, "It tastes pretty good, you should try it."

Jiang Yanzhi hummed in agreement and obediently began gnawing on the ribs.

They ate slowly and methodically, with excellent table manners.

Tang Wanwan watched him eat a piece and asked, "What are you planning to do tonight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yanzhi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Checking up on me?"

"..." Tang Wanwan glanced at him, "I just want to know what you do at night when I don't go back to sleep."
