A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 2 is nothing short of a simp.

Outside the window, the plane's wings sliced ​​through the sea of ​​clouds, and a faint roar could be heard, but inside the cabin, it was extremely quiet.

Jiang Yanzhi glanced sideways at the girl beside him.

This is a girl with a strong sense of self-protection. She is very cautious when traveling alone. She is wearing a mask, and only her almond-shaped eyes, which are moist and still red, can be seen.

A strange emotion, hard to ignore, welled up inside Jiang Yanzhi, and the smile on his lips unconsciously faded.

Just as I was about to say something, the plane was already preparing to land.

A reminder came over the loudspeaker.

Inside the cabin, some passengers who had been napping woke up and began to talk in hushed tones. Jiang Yanzhi stopped talking and remained silent.

The plane landed on time.

Even in the sweltering heat of late afternoon, the outdoor temperature in Beijing is nearly 40 degrees Celsius.

The city girls coming and going in the airport were dressed in cool clothes, showing off their bare legs without hesitation. Only Tang Wanwan seemed not to be afraid of the heat. Not only was she wearing long pants, but she also wore a light shirt jacket.

Seeing that he was looking at her, she thought for a moment and said, "I feel a little cold."

—She really is a sickly beauty.

Jiang Yanzhi nodded, saying nothing more.

Tang Wanwan didn't have much luggage; besides her backpack, she only had one suitcase.

After pushing it for only a few steps, I realized that there were two people following behind me.

“He’s my assistant,”

Jiang Yanzhi offered an explanation, then naturally took her suitcase and handed it to his assistant behind him, while simultaneously making a phone call on his phone.

It rang once and was then answered.

After hearing what was said over there, Jiang Yanzhi said, "The person is right next to me, you can talk to her yourself."

He handed her the phone, which Tang Wanwan took and held to her ear.

"Wanwan?"

The voice on the phone was Shen Xianyu's.

Tang Wanwan hummed in agreement and asked in a low voice, "Is something holding you back?"

He had said he would pick her up before she boarded the plane.

Hearing her voice, Shen Xianyu's heart immediately relaxed.

"It's good that Yanzhi has picked you up."

He gently pinched the bridge of his nose and explained, "Something came up unexpectedly, and I happened to hear that he was on the same flight as you, so I asked him to pick you up for me."

As she spoke, Shen Xianyu's voice unconsciously softened, "Yan Zhi is a very reliable person. You can come with him. A welcome banquet has been prepared for you, and he will introduce you to some friends. I will wait for you at the door."

He explained a few things in detail, and Tang Wanwan felt a mix of emotions as she listened. She then handed the phone back to the person next to her.

Jiang Yanzhi took the phone; before the call was even disconnected, Shen Xianyu was still talking.

“Wanwan isn’t feeling well. She’s been on a three-hour flight. Yanzhi, please keep an eye on her. If she feels unwell, please remind her to take her medicine.”

"The medicine is in a compartment in her backpack. Oh, and remember to give her some water, room temperature, it's her body..."

The usually calm and composed man was now acting like a mother hen, nagging on and on about every little detail.

The two people on the other end of the phone were somewhat taken aback.

Jiang Yanzhi glanced down at the girl's somewhat listless expression and wrote down her instructions.

Until the call ends.

Shen Xianyu's mouth was already dry. He picked up his wine glass and took a sip. He noticed that the private room was completely silent. He looked up and saw several brothers looking at him with different expressions.

He paused, raised his arm, and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, his expression unchanged. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much," Gu Yunyi leaned back on the sofa and chuckled, "I just think you're pretty obsequious."

Even though we're about to meet, it's like they're going on a long trip.

Even your own father might not be this considerate.

His fawning attitude was so overtly affectionate that calling him a simp wouldn't be an exaggeration. The others joined in the teasing.

Shen Xianyu chuckled, "Wanwan's body..."

“I know, she’s not in good health,” Gu Yunyi waved his hand. “How many times have you said that in such a short time?”

Ten years ago, his good friend went to his maternal grandparents' home in Z city for summer vacation. After returning, he was like a lost soul, constantly thinking about a little girl.

From then on, whenever he had a little vacation time, he would go to Z city.

I wonder what kind of fairy she was that could make a ten-year-old boy fall in love and be so captivated by her.

He even transferred to another high school to stay there for a year, just in case his precious little flower, about to bloom, fell in love with someone else when he couldn't see her.

Two months ago, when others took the college entrance examination, he personally went to accompany them, and then came to Beijing as soon as they finished the exam.

As a result, after they finished their exams, there were banquets to thank their teachers and to celebrate their graduation. In the end, they were told they still needed to take a driver's license test.

It wasn't until August that I finally boarded a plane to Beijing.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunyi became curious, "What happened that prevented you from picking them up in person?"

Shen Xianyu paused for a moment, then said, "...I just came from the hospital. My father-in-law is sick."

He seemed to have a headache, yet also seemed expectant. "Even while lying in the hospital bed, he kept saying that he wanted to see me get engaged with his own eyes."

"You're getting engaged already?" Fu Jingbai, standing in the corner, looked up and asked curiously, "Is it the Tang family you've been longing for, or did the old man choose a young lady for you himself?"

Thanks to Shen Xianyu's occasional mentions, his brothers had some understanding of Tang Wanwan's background.

He comes from a scholarly family; both his parents are academics. His family is quite prominent in Z city, but in Beijing, it's nothing special.

As the eldest grandson of the Shen family, Shen Xianyu matured early on. He found someone he liked and remained devoted to him for ten years.

Although the Tang family may not be considered of high social standing, they are a genuine scholarly family. Since their son is interested, the Shen family will not make things difficult for him.

But can the Shen family accept a daughter-in-law who is born with a deficiency and is sickly?

"If I were to get engaged, the only person I could marry is Wanwan."

Shen Xianyu's tone was very firm.

He never considered that there might be other options, but...

"It's a bit too hasty to bring up marriage; I'm afraid it will scare her away."

After he finished speaking, the private room fell silent.

The brothers had different expressions.

Just now, seeing his troubled look, they thought the Shen family was going to break up the couple.

Unexpectedly... the biggest concern was that I might scare the little girl.

"Alright," Gu Yunyi couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't your uncle still all alone? Let the old man worry about his youngest son's marriage. How old are you? What's the rush? Don't scare the girl away."

Shen Xianyu frowned even more deeply, "My uncle never listens to the family."

Of course, he was pretty much the same.

…………

As evening fell, the sky was ablaze with crimson clouds.

As soon as I stepped out of the airport terminal, the sweltering heat of midsummer hit me.

Scalding hot.

The passenger door of the black Land Rover was opened, and Tang Wanwan got in.

Jiang Yanzhi closed the car door, walked around the front of the car in a few steps, and got into the driver's seat.

The two assistants stayed behind and watched them leave.

Tang Wanwan fastened her seatbelt, glancing out the window, when she heard the person next to her say, "They need to go back to the company; they're going a different way than us."

...Very perceptive.

Tang Wanwan thought to herself, nodded to indicate that she understood, and leaned back in her chair without saying anything.
