A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 141 is truly... a real headache.

Tang Wanwan returned to the banquet hall, her heart pounding with fear.

Shen Zhixing's gaze just now...

Will her secret soon be known by another person?

How come these two, uncle and nephew, are so smart? They're both incredibly clever!
She didn't say anything, she just drank a glass of wine!

Only!

She would never know that, besides their keen insight, Shen Xianyu and Shen Zhixing also possessed other valuable abilities.

And then there's the concern I have for her.

Absolute concern.

Because I care about her, I know her too well.

I understand her physical condition, and I also understand her character.

Breaking up with Shen Xianyu abruptly and then choosing to be with Jiang Yanzhi within a single day is simply something she wouldn't do.

But she did it anyway.

Moreover, after making this choice, his sickly body seemed to have taken a magic pill and suddenly regained its vitality.

The answer is obvious.

…………

Early the next morning.

Tang Wanwan had just gotten up when she was awakened by a faint noise coming from downstairs.

The soundproofing in the house is pretty good; if you can hear noises coming up to the second floor, then there must be a lot of people here.

Right.

It's a farewell banquet.

Of course it has to be lively.

What kind of farewell banquet is it if two people are drinking together?

Tang Wanwan refused to get out of bed and slept for a while with her eyes closed.

My phone started vibrating again next to the bedside table.

She thought it was Jiang Yanzhi.

After not seeing each other for a few days, this person probably couldn't resist wanting to see her.

He picked up his phone and saw that it belonged to Gu Yunyi.

A couple of days ago, he called me every now and then, still in that mournful, aggrieved tone, wanting her to go to the hospital to see him.

Tang Wanwan declined his calls each time, citing other commitments, and eventually stopped answering them altogether.

He could probably tell she was heartless, so he hadn't contacted her for the past two days.

Seeing the incoming call, Tang Wanwan didn't hesitate and chose to answer.

Over there, Young Master Gu, dressed in a hospital gown, was slumped on the sofa, listlessly fiddling with his lighter. The moment the call connected, he snapped back to reality, "Wanwan?"

The questioning tone left Tang Wanwan speechless. "If it's not me, then who is it?"

Gu Yunyi complained in a low voice, "You haven't answered my calls for so long. When you suddenly answered, I thought you had the wrong number."

It's still that same pitiful tone.

Tang Wanwan was at her wit's end: "What's wrong?"

Gu Yunyi felt even more aggrieved: "Today is the day I'm discharged from the hospital, have you forgotten?"

Tang Wanwan: "..."

If you calculate the time, it's been a week already?

The silence over there was unsettling.

Gu Yunyi said, "Are you here to pick me up from the hospital? My injury is partly your fault, so please don't be so heartless."

Tang Wanwan: "..."

Hesitate.

A few more noises came from the courtyard downstairs.

Considering that she had a perceptive Shen Zhixing at home, and that she came here specifically for her, the young master Gu, who only knew how to whine and whimper, seemed harmless and adorable in comparison.

She said, "Okay, I'm coming over now."

Then she hesitated, "When you were discharged from the hospital, didn't any of them come to pick you up?"

Hearing that she was coming, Gu Yunyi was overjoyed and said, "I'll tell them I'll be discharged tomorrow."

Fearing she might still have reservations, he added, "I had the hospital turn off the surveillance cameras here a week ago."

He was staying in a VIP ward, where there were fewer people.

That floor was inhabited by only him, and it was very quiet.

Without further hesitation, Tang Wanwan got up and tidied herself up.

As I went downstairs, I looked out the window and saw five or six people already in the backyard of the villa. They were all uncles and aunts I knew, but I didn't see Shen Zhixing.

Thinking this, she continued down the stairs without stopping, and when she looked up, she saw the person she had been talking about sitting alone on the living room sofa.

He was dressed in a white shirt and black pants, with short, neat hair. He held a magazine in his hand and looked down at it.

Seemingly hearing the commotion, it turned its head to look over.

His face was handsome, his nose was straight, and his gaze, which unconsciously carried a coldness, vanished the moment it met her, leaving only a gentle tenderness.

"Woke up?"

He said.

His voice was gentle, just like his eyes.

How come she didn't notice such an obvious look before?

Or is it that he really hid it so well that not a single trace was revealed?
Tang Wanwan paused slightly, tightened her grip on the stair railing, and softly hummed in agreement.

She wore a V-neck sleeveless top with a thin jacket over it, and underneath were casual shorts. Her legs looked slender and fair through the loose-fitting shorts.

She also had a bag slung around her waist.

Shen Zhixing's gaze paused slightly. "Going out?"

Tang Wanwan nodded and walked towards the door on her own.

Shen Zhixing called out to her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Tang Wanwan said, "A friend of mine is in the hospital, I'm going to visit him."

"Gu Yunyi?" Shen Zhixing chuckled. "Are you going by yourself, or with Jiang Yanzhi?"

In just one night, he seemed to have learned everything about her experiences over the past few days.

Tang Wanwan froze.

Let me guess…

Shen Zhixing thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Jiang Yanzhi's relentless pressure must be giving you a real headache. You'd definitely rather ignore him than take the initiative to talk to him..."

"So... you're still planning to go see Gu Yunyi yourself?"

The lesser of two evils.

In her eyes, he seemed to be a little more 'harmful' than Gu Yunyi.

That's not a happy answer at all.

Shen Zhixing sighed helplessly, "Didn't you just have a fight because of Gu Yunyi? Now you're going to see him again to avoid me. Aren't you afraid that Jiang Yanzhi will find out and cause another big scene?"

This is indeed what Tang Wanwan is worried about.

Hearing his words, she began to back down.

He was just discharged from the hospital.

It wasn't a big deal, nothing so important that she absolutely had to pick it up.

She dismissed the idea, and as soon as she turned around, she found that the person on the sofa had already stood up at some point.

Seeing her turn around, Shen Zhixing's eyes widened in surprise, and he smiled, "Not going?"

"..." Tang Wanwan pursed her lips, "You said so much, made it sound so serious, who would dare to go?"

She took out her phone and quickly sent a message to Gu Yunyi.

Shen Zhixing watched from the side, the smile on his lips gradually fading away.

She had only been to Beijing once, and stayed for no more than two days.

It wasn't enough that they provoked Jiang Yanzhi; before they knew it, they had also provoked Gu Yunyi.

Seriously... they're a real headache.

Shen Zhixing felt a tightness in his chest. After seeing that she had sent the message, he said, "Shall we talk?"

Let's talk.

There's no need for so much to talk about.

Tang Wanwan sat down on the sofa, picked up the black tea he had brewed, poured herself a cup, and drank it all in one gulp. "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

Shen Zhixing stared at her silently.

It was daytime, and her complexion was clearly visible.

Not only her complexion, but also her every move was something she had never seen before... crisp and agile.

Her body... truly underwent a qualitative change.

Shen Zhixing let out a soft sigh and chuckled, "I have a lot to say. Do you really want to chat with me here?"

"..." Tang Wanwan was taken aback. "Then let's go to the courtyard?"

It can't be upstairs, can it?
"Haven't had breakfast yet?"

She only just woke up now; the Tang family had already cleared out their breakfast.

Shen Zhixing picked up the keys on the table, stood up, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out for morning tea."
