A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 20 Are we having an affair right now?

Shen Xianyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you."

"No need, everyone here is someone you know. My home is just upstairs, what do you have to worry about?"

Tang Wanwan said, "I just want to walk around, have something to eat, and clear my head."

We're not children anymore, why would we be afraid of getting lost?

“Okay,” not wanting to upset her, Shen Xianyu didn’t insist anymore, and only said, “Don’t drink indiscriminately. The alcohol here is very strong. If you really want to drink, just pick the low-alcohol ones to taste.”

After saying that, he smiled and kissed her on the cheek. "Then I'm going over there. Come find me if you're tired, and we'll go home."

"..." Tang Wanwan touched her face and subconsciously looked towards the window.

Before I knew it, people over there were looking over too.

Eyes facing each other.

Those eyes were dark and deep, and Tang Wanwan's heart pounded like a drum. She quickly turned her face away, found a corner to sit down, and was wondering if she should get something to eat when someone sat down on the sofa next to her.

A beautifully presented dessert appeared before me.

"They said girls like to eat this, want to try it?"

The voice was deep and pleasant.

Tang Wanwan was startled when she was surprised that this person dared to sit down next to her so brazenly. She quickly took the dessert and looked around guiltily.

With that stunningly beautiful face, he timidly peeked out, exuding a thieving air.

Jiang Yanzhi found it both amusing and exasperating, "So scared?"

He tapped the table with his fingers to draw her attention, and said with a half-smile, "When you were flirting with me, didn't you think about being afraid?"

Tang Wanwan: "..."

The girl, who was being relentlessly pressured, managed to maintain a composed expression on her face, but inside she was suffering terribly.

Having an affair is something that not everyone can handle.

My heart was pounding in my throat.

She whispered, trying to negotiate, "Can we talk somewhere else?"

I felt like countless eyes were on us, and I really didn't want to talk about this kind of topic with him in front of everyone.

Seeing a thin layer of sweat on the girl's forehead, indicating she was extremely nervous, Jiang Yanzhi nodded slightly, "Alright, come with me."

He stood up and walked away leisurely.

Fearing that someone with ulterior motives would notice something amiss, Tang Wanwan dared not follow immediately.

Instead, he calmly ate the pastries until his phone screen lit up, indicating a new message had arrived.

——?
A question mark nearly made Tang Wanwan choke.

She picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

Her throat burned from the alcohol, and she frowned.

Then, the screen lit up again.

—Come to the room where I spent the afternoon with you.

Tang Wanwan's cheeks flushed. She drank the remaining wine in her glass as a courage booster, then took a deep breath, trying her best to suppress her guilty conscience, and stood up.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Shen Xianyu talking to his friends. A girl, whoever brought her, was wearing a revealing strapless dress and was pouring drinks for the boys.

The girl pressed closer and closer, and from Tang Wanwan's perspective, Shen Xianyu's arm was almost touching her soft breasts, but he didn't notice at all.

Perhaps it's not that they weren't aware of it, but rather that they didn't take it seriously?

Tang Wanwan could tell that, apart from her, none of the girls in this place today were these men's girlfriends, and even the ones from last night were probably not.

Yesterday was her welcome banquet, and Shen Xianyu must have told his brothers to behave themselves, so those young masters treated the girl next to them with some courtesy yesterday.

Today is different.

It has clearly become much more relaxed.

That’s right.

The daily life of these young masters is one of extravagance and being surrounded by beautiful women.

Without pretty girls to liven things up, it's not fun at all.

They can't keep playing vegetarian forever.

Tang Wanwan waited for a while, and saw that Shen Xianyu showed no intention of avoiding her, seemingly used to such close proximity. He allowed people to approach him freely, wherever she was present and within his sight.

When she wasn't around, did he, like his brothers, have one or more girls by his side?
Thinking about the conversation I had at the hospital entrance this morning.

Tang Wanwan had a moment of self-doubt.

He's twenty years old now, living in this kind of social circle.

...Can he really still be a virgin?

If Tang Wanwan had seen this scene before, she would probably have been angry.

But now, the messages on her phone are telling her that she herself is not innocent.

Besides, weren't we already determined to break up?

……

Once I left the living room, the noise subsided considerably.

Apart from the living room, the layout of Jiang Yanzhi's apartment is not much different from that of the upstairs apartment.

The corresponding study room is easy to find.

The door wasn't locked. Tang Wanwan let out a soft breath, pushed the door open, and looked up to see the man inside.

Unlike the shirt and trousers he wore when we met at noon, he was dressed very casually this time.

He wore a black short-sleeved shirt loosely on his body, leaned against the window, and lit a cigarette between his fingers.

He was tall and slender, with smooth lines in his thin shoulders and neck. From Tang Wanwan's angle, one could vaguely see his slightly protruding collarbone. He exuded a lazy aura, yet also a sense of unruly and carefree spirit.

Hearing the door open, he turned his head and looked this way.

Their eyes met, and Tang Wanwan, who was having an affair for the first time, was extremely embarrassed. She locked the door behind her.

A 'click' sound.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanzhi raised an eyebrow slightly, and a smile immediately appeared in his eyes.

Tang Wanwan's face flushed from his smile, and she explained, "I was afraid someone would come in and see us."

"That's it..."

Jiang Yanzhi wanted to laugh even more.

It was clear that she was embarrassed and worried that people would get angry, so she suppressed her smile.

He turned around, walked to his desk, and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

The desk must have been moved in temporarily; it looks completely out of place in this gym.

Seeing that she was still standing at the door, Jiang Yanzhi gestured to the chair next to him, "Come and sit down."

Since she was already there, there was no point in running away, so Tang Wanwan did as she was told and went over.

She wasn't wearing the same light green dress she'd worn that morning, but rather a simple set of loungewear: a short-sleeved shirt, shorts, her long hair casually tied up, and her face bare of makeup, revealing her fair and clean complexion.

As she drew closer, Jiang Yanzhi unconsciously held his breath.

She didn't take a deep breath until she sat down.

Tang Wanwan was not good at hiding her emotions. Compared to his calm and composed nervousness, she sat very upright, looking quite awkward.

Jiang Yanzhi lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on her hands folded across her thighs.

The slender, fair knuckles were slightly curled up, revealing the owner's restraint.

"Relax, I don't eat people,"

As if afraid of startling the beauty, he spoke very softly, "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

Is there anything you want to ask him?

Perhaps the wine she had just drunk was taking effect; Tang Wanwan's mind was a little fuzzy. Without thinking, she asked, "Are we having an affair right now?"

"..." Jiang Yanzhi remained silent for a long while. "What do you think?"

“I don’t know,” Tang Wanwan tilted her head and looked up at him, “but I think it looks a bit like it.”

Jiang Yanzhi had been watching her the whole time, so he naturally caught that look in her eyes.

Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were moist but not clear.

He was taken aback. "You've been drinking?"
