A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 87 "I have a feeling he's interested in you."

There was a 'crash' sound.

Gu Yunyi suddenly stood up, and the chair he was sitting on tilted backward with his movement.

"It's too hot," he said in a hoarse voice, looking up as he spoke.

From Tang Wanwan's perspective, his neck was long and slender, and his Adam's apple moved slowly as he spoke.

My whole body is a bit flushed.

Is it this hot?

She was secretly puzzled, then looked away and said, "If you feel hot, go back inside. There's a fan inside."

Actually, perhaps a calm mind brings coolness.

She didn't find the ancient town particularly hot.

Under the willow tree, with wind blowing from all sides, it is a rare cool spot.

Gu Yunyi moved his leg slightly, wanting to leave, but his body involuntarily stopped.

After this back and forth, he lowered his eyes and asked her, "You're just sitting here? Where's Yanzhi?"

"He's inside, it looks like he's having a video conference."

Jiang Yanzhi is a very busy person. Besides, she's just setting up a canvas, does she really need someone to accompany her?
Thinking about it, Tang Wanwan turned her head to look at him, "Don't you have any official business to attend to?"

"Yes," Gu Yunyi sighed, "I took a few days off to come to Z City for a visit."

If you really think about it, none of them are not busy.

Even Shen Xianyu travels to Z City every winter and summer vacation, and he has taken over two branches of the Shen Group.

Tang Wanwan gave an "oh" and stopped talking, slowly adjusting the colors.

In the time it took to say a few words, the blush on Gu Yunyi's face gradually subsided, and he stopped rushing to leave, simply watching from the side.

He watched her every move without blinking.

Tang Wanwan's hands were beautiful, with slender fingers, delicate wrists, and clean, unadorned nails without any fancy manicures or jewelry on her wrists.

He wasn't even wearing a watch.

She was wearing short sleeves, with half of her arm exposed.

Her skin was as white and smooth as jade, delicate and flawless, and she was slowly and methodically handling her painting tools.

Gu Yunyi watched for a while, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily, and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting a tan, standing outdoors in such a blazing sun?"

Although, this is a shady spot.

But this is the height of summer.

No matter how harsh the sun is, her delicate skin will peel off in no time.

Tang Wanwan didn't turn her head and said, "I'm not afraid."

“She’s really not afraid,” Qian Qinglei chimed in. “She’s naturally beautiful and can’t help but use sunscreen. But I’ve known her since kindergarten and I’ve never seen her get a tan!”

She touched Tang Wanwan's arm and clicked her tongue, "I'm so envious..."

"..." Tang Wanwan was speechless. "You're not dark either."

“It’s different!” Qian Qinglei said, “I have to apply sunscreen thoroughly before I dare to go out in the blazing sun.”

She was wearing a long-sleeved sun-protective shirt at the moment.

Gu Yunyi ignored the two girls' bickering.

He composed himself and looked at the pond in front of him. "I wonder if there are any fish here."

In the morning, the group went fishing at a reservoir in town and caught several wild crucian carp.

...It's quite small.

Everyone suggested changing locations in the afternoon, but we still planned to stay at the reservoir.

In his opinion, this place isn't so bad after all.

It's right near my home, so convenient.

Tang Wanwan shook her head, "I've only been here a short time, I haven't seen any fish, so I don't know if there are any in there."

"I'll go ask the landlord." Young Master Gu was full of energy and turned to leave.

As soon as he left, Qian Qinglei tugged at Tang Wanwan's arm and whispered, "I have a feeling he's interested in you."

"Leilei!" Tang Wanwan almost choked on her own saliva. "Don't talk nonsense. You can't make jokes like that."

Among their group of brothers, Shen Xianyu and Jiang Yanzhi alone were enough to give her a headache.

If another one comes, does she even want to live?

Tang Wanwan gasped, "If Jiang Yanzhi heard this, he might actually believe it."

Shen Xianyu has caused him so much trouble, and it took so long to appease him. Now there's Gu Yunyi, with his jealous nature and paranoia.

She doesn't know how long she'll have to coax him!
Qian Qinglei was somewhat taken aback by her serious expression. "Are you that afraid of him?"

She clicked her tongue in surprise: "How come I never knew you were such a henpecked husband?"

“…It’s not that I’m afraid,” Tang Wanwan stubbornly explained, “Why would I be afraid of him? I’m afraid he’ll cause trouble for me again. I just want some peace and quiet. Anyway, please don’t say that again.”

……

Seeing her guilty and breathless expression, Qian Qinglei thought of last night when Jiang Yanzhi drove over overnight. The moment he got out of the car, the oppressive aura he exuded was terrifying even from a distance.

Her sisters, overjoyed, ran to greet her.

Held tightly in Jiang Yanzhi's arms, she was incredibly charming and obedient.

Where was the air of arrogance and domineering attitude that he used to have in front of Shen Xianyu?

It truly feels like one thing can subdue another.

Right.

There probably won't be another man in this world who spoils her like Shen Xianyu.

Qian Qinglei hesitated, wanting to offer some words of advice.

If there's been a misunderstanding, then clear it up, and it wouldn't be shameful to try and win back Young Master Shen's affections.

If you lose a guy who's completely devoted to you, you might regret it later.

But then I thought, matters of the heart are something only the person experiencing them truly understands; it's not appropriate for outsiders to interfere.

Just have fun.

Gu Yunyi returned quickly; the two girls had only exchanged a few words when he arrived.

Holding two ice cream cones that she had somehow found, she handed one to each of them.

"The landlord said there are fish in this pond, so I'm going fishing here this afternoon. What do you think?"

He said this while looking at Tang Wanwan, seeking her opinion.

Tang Wanwan looked bewildered. "You can fish, do you need my permission?"

“I was afraid of disturbing your painting,” Gu Yunyi smiled at her, his eyes bright and his voice soft. “Don’t worry, I will be very quiet and will definitely not disturb you.”

Tang Wanwan: "..."

Bai Qianqinglei's words reminded her that she was now seeing Gu Yunyi's familiar smiling face again.

I always felt that he smiled and acted like he had a very good temper, as if he was worthless.

In Fu Jingbai's words, that's being a total simp, with no bottom line...

The thought flashed through her mind, and Tang Wan felt a slight unease.

She took a bite of the ice cream cone, trying to suppress the strange feeling, but with him staring at her, she still felt the urge to avoid him.

She stood up and said, "They've started cooking. I'll go help."

Today, a group of people decided to cook lunch themselves.

The ingredients are local crops from the village.

And the fish I caught this morning.

She set up her easel and pulled Qian Qinglei into the courtyard.

Gu Yunyi stood there silently watching the two girls' departing figures, his expression gradually becoming melancholy.

Fu Jingbai suddenly appeared out of nowhere and, seeing his absent-minded look, tossed him a cigarette case.

Gu Yunyi opened the box, put a cigarette in his mouth, and lit it while leaning against the willow tree.

He slowly exhaled a smoke ring, obscuring his handsome face.
