A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 21 Did you sleep together last night?
He was taken aback. "You've been drinking?"

"Hmm," Tang Wanwan hummed in agreement, and said, "I had a drink."

Jiang Yanzhi frowned. "What kind of wine did you drink?"

"I don't know, it was on the table, golden in color, and it stung my throat a little when I swallowed it."

Tang Wanwan pursed her lips as if savoring the memory, and commented sincerely: "...but the taste is actually not bad."

When she said it was alright, her head unconsciously tilted down.

Jiang Yanzhi gently lifted her chin, lowering his eyes to examine her expression. "Are you drunk?"

"no!"

That was a resolute answer.

Jiang Yanzhi fell silent immediately.

For once, he had a headache.

In his plan, their meeting tonight was meant to clarify their relationship.

Can the words of such a drunkard be trusted?
“…Wanwan?” Jiang Yanzhi leaned closer, meeting her gaze. “Do you know who I am?”

"Of course I know,"

Tang Wanwan wasn't really drunk; she was just a little tipsy. She moved her head and reached out to pry his hand away. "Jiang Yanzhi, let go of me."

The voice was soft and gentle.

Even his name sounded more beautiful when she said it.

"Looks like he's not drunk at all,"

Jiang Yanzhi's gaze fell on her rosy lips, but he quickly and restrained himself, looking away and withdrawing his hand.

He raised his hand, poured himself a glass of cold tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

After quenching her thirst a little, I thought for a moment, then poured her another cup and handed it to her.

"Since you're not drunk, let's get down to business... You go first, is there anything else you want to ask me?"

As for her question about whether they are having an affair...

He simply acquiesced.

Tang Wanwan took a sip of tea, and without hesitating for long, asked him, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

She has a boyfriend.

But her boyfriend in her dream is a 'devoted second male lead' who is destined to fall in love with the female lead later.

Therefore, Tang Wanwan didn't actually feel much remorse for her actions.

She wants either her love for Shen Xianyu or a healthy body; she has to have one of them.

What about him?
He is the same age as Shen Xianyu, and will be a sophomore in college when he starts school. He is twenty years old.

She was born into a good family and is also good-looking, so she will definitely have no shortage of admirers.

Is this person still single?

Jiang Yanzhi understood what she meant.

He looked at her for a while, then instead of answering, asked, "If you did, what would you do? Would you distance yourself from me?"

Draw a clear line?

Tang Wanwan looked slightly taken aback. "I don't know."

She didn't know if her sense of morality was enough for her to choose to give up her health.

Jiang Yanzhi smiled.

She's such a frank girl.

"Don't worry, I don't have a girlfriend."

He asked with a smile, "Is there anything else you'd like to know?"

Hearing that he didn't have a girlfriend, Tang Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, "Not for now."

"Then it's my turn,"

Jiang Yanzhi said, "I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer it?"

Tang Wanwan glanced at him cautiously, "Go ahead."

"Tell me, when do you plan to break up with Shen Xianyu?"

Jiang Yanzhi stopped being modest and said directly, "I need a specific time."

"..." Tang Wanwan suddenly fell silent.

"Is this a difficult question to answer?"

Her speechless expression made Jiang Yanzhi's face turn solemn.

Now that things have come to this point, it can't be that he misunderstood, right?

He frowned: "Then let me ask you a different question... You like me, right?"

Under that scorching gaze, Tang Wanwan felt both flustered and embarrassed. She forced a nod and hummed in agreement.

As if afraid of being taken advantage of, she immediately countered with, "And what about you?"

"like,"

Compared to her evasive admission, Jiang Yanzhi's answer was clean and concise.

He lowered his eyes and spoke very softly, "I thought I had already made my feelings clear."

If he didn't truly love her, to the point of being unable to control himself, he would be crazy to have a secret rendezvous with his brother's girlfriend.

and so…

"We are mutually attracted to each other, we fell in love at first sight, right?"

he asked.

Could Tang Wanwan possibly say that was wrong?
He could only nod again, "You're right."

"Since everything is true, are you planning to keep 'cheating' on me like this without breaking up with him?"

Jiang Yanzhi said calmly, "Wanwan, I can't do this secretly. If you want to be my girlfriend, then we can only do it openly."

I've only ever been moved twice in my life, and both times it was by this girl.

This time, he hesitated for only one night before decisively admitting defeat.

Fortunately, he was extremely lucky; the girl he liked also fell in love with him at first sight.

Once you've poached someone's services, you've done it.

However, let him be her secret 'adulter'...

Jiang Yanzhi would absolutely not agree to it.

He stared intently at the girl in front of him. "Will you be my girlfriend openly and honestly?"

"I'll do it!" Tang Wanwan answered the question quickly.

In fact, she couldn't have asked for it more.

"Don't worry, I will definitely break up with him. I already brought it up once this morning. It's just that after so many years of relationship with Shen Xianyu, he can't accept breaking up with me suddenly. We need to take it slowly."

Hearing that she had already mentioned breaking up, Jiang Yanzhi's expression softened slightly.

"Tell me, how did he react when you broke up with him?"

This means he's going to teach her how to break up, step by step.

Tang Wanwan hesitated for a moment before recounting everything that had happened that morning.

From Grandpa Shen arranging their engagement, to Shen's parents disagreeing, and then her taking the opportunity to break up with him...

Jiang Yanzhi listened quietly the whole time.

After hearing Shen Xianyu say that she would agree to break up with him if he admitted that she had fallen in love with someone else, he looked up at her and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"...Don't force me," Tang Wanwan paused for a moment, then said, "After so many years of relationship, you have to give me some time to sort things out."

So many years of relationship...

Jiang Yanzhi paused for a moment, then poured himself another glass of water.

The icy tea, flowing down my throat, finally suppressed the dense, astringent sensation.

He asked, "How long have you been together?"

Ten years is the time it took them to meet.

What if we get together?

This question really stumped Tang Wanwan.

She and Shen Xianyu had known each other for many years and understood each other's feelings.

But now that I think about it carefully, neither of us actually formally confessed our feelings to the other.

They naturally ended up together.

To talk about establishing a relationship...

It can only be on her coming-of-age ceremony.

Tang Wanwan calculated the days, "About a month."

This answer surprised Jiang Yanzhi, but then he thought about her age and understood.

She and Shen Xianyu officially became a couple after the college entrance examination.

According to his understanding, Shen Xianyu spent more than 20 days in Beijing during that month.

In other words, they were not as close as they had previously thought.

Most likely, last night was the closest.

Last night, they were alone in a room…

Overwhelmed with emotion, Jiang Yanzhi couldn't help but grasp her hand resting on her lap, "Did you two sleep together last night?"
