A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

When did you learn the phrase "turn the tables" in Chapter 23?

Tang Wanwan felt a little uncomfortable when he asked her that question and tried to turn her face away, but he grabbed her chin first.

“Just tell me,” Jiang Yanzhi said. “I promise I don’t care about what happened before. Just tell the truth.”

"..." Tang Wanwan pursed her lips. "What does this have to do with whether I go back or not?"

"How can it be unrelated?"

It matters a lot.

Jiang Yanzhi smiled enigmatically, "If you've slept together, you're not going anywhere tonight."

He was powerless to change what had happened before, and there was nothing he could do.

Now that they've made up their minds, he'd have to be crazy to let her go back and sleep with other men.

Tang Wanwan understood what he meant, and was both anxious and annoyed.

I just think this person is really arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable!
They weren't even together yet; she was still Shen Xianyu's girlfriend, but she acted like he was his wife.

She became jealous of Shen Xianyu.

Tang Wanwan would definitely have a good talk with him at a different time.

But now, time is of the essence.

She had no desire to argue and could only angrily reply, "I've never been on it!"

"Really?"

Jiang Yanzhi's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and his heart surged with emotion. He couldn't help but tighten his grip on her lower back.

Although he asked a question, he didn't seem to want an answer from her at all.

His face was buried in her neck and shoulder, inhaling her scent.

This will be his girlfriend.

"A few days?" His voice was muffled. "I can't wait that long. Tell me, how many days will it take you to break up with him?"

"I don't know!" Tang Wanwan placed her hands on his shoulders and tried to push him away. "Jiang Yanzhi, be normal."

“Then three days,” she said, refusing to give a definite answer. Jiang Yanzhi could only answer his own question, “If you can’t handle it within three days, then let me do it.”

After saying that, he kissed her hard on the cheek and released her arms.

Tang Wanwan, now free, immediately stood up.

Without thinking, she kicked him and yelled, "You scoundrel!"

rogue…

Jiang Yanzhi pondered the two words, then laughed, "What kind of hooliganism is this?"

He slumped in his chair, tilting his head back as he called her name, "Don't tell me you really didn't prepare anything before you came in?"

They're not children anymore; they know they're having an affair.

Haven't you ever thought about what a real affair would entail?
Dare to come in.

Were they unprepared for what might happen between them?
In comparison, he had already shown great restraint.

Tang Wanwan couldn't argue with him, so she picked up her phone and was about to leave when someone behind her called out to her.

She looked back.

Jiang Yanzhi pointed to the cubicle next to him, "That leads directly to the restroom."

The two rooms are connected, so she doesn't have to worry about bumping into someone as soon as she steps out of the door.

Tang Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

"Not calling them hooligans anymore?"

Jiang Yanzhi smiled and held out his palm to her: "Do you want my phone? I'll have someone put it in the corner of the sofa where you were sitting."

"That way you won't have to rack your brains to explain to him why he's not answering either of your calls."

Who wouldn't say that he's understanding?

Tang Wanwan's eyes lit up when she saw him. She handed him her phone, thanked him, and then hurriedly left.

Jiang Yanzhi watched her leave, and only after she disappeared from sight did he slowly lower his eyes to look at the phone she had left behind.

It's locked, and the lock screen background is also a cherry tree, with a boy in a blue and white school uniform jacket standing under the tree, his hands in his pockets, and a gentle smile on his face.

It is Shen Xianyu.

In her second year of high school, Shen Xianyu transferred to Z City for a year of study before returning in her third year.

Chronologically speaking, she was a freshman in high school at that time. Shen Xianyu's phone lock screen background is a photo of her from her freshman year of high school.

Hers was a photo of Shen Xianyu in her second year of high school.

Jiang Yanzhi stared at it for a while, and then locked the screen.

…………

Tang Wanwan came out of the restroom and saw Shen Xianyu walking towards her.

Upon seeing her, Shen Xianyu paused for a moment, then quickened his pace, arriving in front of her in a few strides. He looked her up and down and asked, "Where have you been?"

Tang Wanwan had just looked in the mirror to make sure there were no flaws, so she wasn't nervous at the moment.

She raised her hand and tapped the door behind her, "Restroom."

Shen Xianyu nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on her face, and asked again, "Have you been inside the whole time?"

"How long has it been?"

Tang Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, but she said calmly, "I sat on the sofa for a while, ate some snacks, drank some wine, then walked around, and finally went into the bathroom."

After saying that, she frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

What's wrong…

Shen Xianyu looked at her empty hands and asked, "Where's your phone?"

"I don't know where I left it," Tang Wanwan patted her pocket. "I probably just put it somewhere in the living room. Did you call me?"

“I called,” Shen Xianyu said. “I called you several times, but no one answered, and I couldn’t find you. I thought you were lost.”

“Where could I possibly have lost it?” Tang Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. “Let’s go, help me find my phone.”

"No rush," Shen Xianyu stepped forward, wrapped his arm around her against the wall, and looked down at her closely. "Have you been drinking?"

Tang Wanwan lowered her eyes to avoid meeting his gaze and said, "I had a drink."

"so…"

Shen Xianyu responded softly, reached out and cupped her chin, leaned closer, and pressed his forehead against hers. "I looked for you for a long time, and when I turned around, I found that besides you, there was someone else missing..."

"Does Wanwan know who it is?"

His tone was very soft, which made Tang Wanwan's heart tighten.

She pursed her lips. "I don't know, just tell me."

“It’s Jiang Yanzhi,” Shen Xianyu said. “As the host of this banquet, he’s also missing. What a coincidence, isn’t it?”

Truly, cleverly.

Tang Wanwan suddenly looked up, "What do you mean by that?"

well.

I finally dared to look at him.

His eyes were quite open and honest.

The boundless shock and pain slowly dissipated, transforming into a surge of pent-up anger with nowhere to go.

"It doesn't mean anything," Shen Xianyu chuckled, "I want to kiss you, is that alright?"

He asked politely, but he showed no intention of getting her to nod.

Without saying that, he immediately covered her lips with his.

With her chin pinched, Tang Wanwan couldn't escape. In the crucial moment, she cupped his face with both hands to stop him.

"Can't!"

Shen Xianyu's eyes darkened slightly, and the knuckles of his fingers tightened around her chin.

Seeing his face darken, Tang Wanwan's brow twitched, and she spoke first, "Shen Xianyu, how many girls have you kissed?"

"……what?"

"Stop pretending!" Tang Wanwan cupped his face and pushed him away slightly. "How many kisses have you had?"

Confirming that he hadn't misheard, Shen Xianyu was genuinely amused and exasperated.

He took a deep breath, trying to suppress his rising anger, but he couldn't hold back in the end. He reached out and grabbed the back of her neck, pulling her into his arms and leaning closer.

"Wow, Tang Wanwan, when did you learn to turn the tables?"
