A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 38 "How many times has he kissed you?"

To a young master like Gu Yunyi, their marriage was incredibly precious.

If a relationship isn't aimed at marriage, what else could it be but true love?
The sound of their footsteps faded into the distance, and the sound of the front door closing came from behind them. The girl in their arms remained motionless.

Jiang Yanzhi reached out and ruffled her chin, staring at her obviously flushed face, and said with amusement, "Aren't you bored?"

"..." Tang Wanwan glanced at him, "I'm just a little worried."

If what Shen Xianyu said is true, and that matter is very important between lovers, then she has to worry about whether she can properly complete her 'supporting female role' storyline.

Judging from his own perspective, Tang Wanwan thought that they had only just gotten together and their relationship wasn't very deep to begin with. His girlfriend was sickly and couldn't do 'such important' things, so who knew if he would find it boring and want to break up with her.

Jiang Yanzhi looked down at her, and upon hearing her words, his smile remained unchanged, as if he were quite puzzled, "What are you worried about?"

Those deep, beautiful eyes were filled with her.

Tang Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, and the unease that had just arisen dissipated by most of it.

She blinked and asked him, "Were you eavesdropping outside the whole time?"

eavesdropping...

Having been surrounded by shrewd people since childhood, everyone around him was cautious and careful with their words. Upon suddenly hearing such impolite language, Jiang Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh.

He put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace, and explained, "I was just worried, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

...It wasn't eavesdropping.

Tang Wanwan pouted, "So you heard everything?"

“Yes,” Jiang Yanzhi nodded with a smile, “I heard everything.”

"...Since you heard that, do you agree with what Shen Xianyu said, you mean what he said..." Tang Wanwan paused, then simply said, "I can't...that, would you mind?"

She asked a very direct question.

Even though it was incredibly awkward, she still managed to ask the question.

Jiang Yanzhi paused for a moment, then, as if realizing something, his smile slowly faded.

He gripped her chin with a little force and leaned down to look into her eyes.

He was naturally aloof, with eyes that were always unfathomably distant. He had taken over the family affairs at a young age and held power at a young age. His imposing presence and expressionless face were enough to make people uneasy.

These past two days, he has been considerate and attentive in front of Tang Wanwan, displaying a good temper that almost made her believe he was a gentle, reasonable, and noble young master.

When their eyes met, the smile in his eyes vanished completely, and Tang Wanwan's first feeling was panic.

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she reflexively lowered her eyelids. "You..."

She wanted to say that physical conditions are beyond one's control, and if you mind, there's nothing better she can do.

She had barely uttered the word "you" when the person in front of her pressed down on her shoulder and leaned closer.

By the time Tang Wanwan realized what was happening, her back was already against the wall.

Jiang Yanzhi wrapped his arms around her neck and stared at her for a long time, making Tang Wanwan feel flustered. Just as she was about to speak, her chin was grabbed.

The man's warm lips covered mine, carrying with them his unique scent.

"!!!"

Tang Wanwan's eyes widened instantly, and Jiang Yanzhi didn't close his eyes either. He looked at her, a faint smile in his eyes, and slowly and deliberately lingered his lips on hers.

Gentle, but lacking in structure.

Somehow.

Tang Wanwan recalled what he had said last night.

My first kiss is for you, do you want it?

Tang Wanwan was startled and abruptly turned her face away, "Jiang..."

This action reminded the man, who was studying how to kiss her.

Jiang Yanzhi's breath hitched. He gently pulled her head back by his hand that was holding her chin, and then leaned down to give her another kiss.

This time, he learned a lot.

He held her chin with one hand and wrapped the other around her neck, pulling her into his arms and kissing her slowly and deliberately.

Tang Wanwan couldn't even move her neck, and the words she wanted to say were all swallowed up by the person in front of her. The only thing she could do was to pound her fist hard on his shoulder a few times in protest.

However, the force she used was probably no different from tickling an itch.

Jiang Yanzhi ignored all reason.

As the oxygen grew increasingly thin, and she feared she was about to faint from the kiss, Tang Wanwan was finally released.

As fresh air rushed in, she forgot everything else, tilting her head to the side and breathing deeply.

Her beautiful, petal-like lips were slightly swollen.
With her eyes slightly closed, the corners of her eyes were a seductive red, and her chest heaved violently with her rapid breathing, she looked like she had been bullied badly.

It makes you want to...

Jiang Yanzhi lowered his eyes, concealing the desire within them.

He tightened his arms around her, scooped her up behind her knees, and carried her to the living room sofa. After she calmed down, he said softly, "I have a question for you."

Tang Wanwan was angered by his vicious kiss and pushed him hard when she heard his words, "I won't answer!"

I've never seen kissing like this before.

She almost fainted from his kiss!

Jiang Yanzhi pulled away her hand that was pushing him away, grabbed her wrist, and slowly moved it downwards.

His slender fingers slipped between her fingers until their palms met, their fingers interlocked.

"I won't let you suffer any loss," he coaxed gently. "If you answer one question truthfully, I'll tell you whether I mind or not that you can't have sex, okay?"

...That's actually quite fair.

Tang Wanwan glared at him angrily, "Go ahead and ask!"

Jiang Yanzhi felt his heart soften at the sight of her swallowing her anger and wanting to know the answer.

She must like him so much to be so afraid that he would mind her health issues.

Jiang Yanzhi smiled and reached out to brush a stray hair from her forehead. "Don't be nervous. You have to believe in my feelings."

His stern features softened with that smile.

Tang Wanwan pursed her lips, turned her face away from him, and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask!"

Jiang Yanzhi hummed in response, but seemed to find it difficult to speak after hearing her words, and did not ask immediately.

In the silence, his fingertips unconsciously caressed her cheek.

The posture was too intimate. Tang Wanwan frowned and pulled his hand away, but he grabbed it back and their fingers were intertwined again, making Tang Wanwan realize something.

—This man truly loves holding her hand.

As if finally making up his mind, Jiang Yanzhi moved his lips and softly asked, "How many times?"

Tang Wanwan looked up in confusion, "What?"

“I mean…” Jiang Yanzhi looked at her, pursing his lips somewhat awkwardly, “How many times has he kissed you?”

Tang Wanwan: "..."

Suddenly, she remembered what Shen Xianyu had just said.

'I'm so careful when I touch you, even with just a finger; if I kiss you even twice, I feel so bad you can't breathe...'

So, more than her physical limitations... was it this sentence that he cared about?

Tang Wanwan felt a sudden tightness in her chest and stammered, "Didn't you say you didn't care about the past?"

Last night, when he asked her if she had slept with Shen Xianyu, he told her to tell the truth, saying he didn't care about the past.

Since you don't even care about sleeping together, why ask this?
