A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 4 I remember, your name is Jiang Yanzhi

The scenery outside the car window rushed past, the sky gradually darkened, and the city's neon lights began to flash.

Jiang Yanzhi held the steering wheel with a relaxed posture.

After stopping at yet another red light, he suddenly spoke up, "First time in Beijing?"

The silence was broken, causing Tang Wanwan, who was lost in thought, to pause for a second before turning to look at him.

"No, I had a medical check-up in Beijing when I was a child."

In the dimly lit car, she leaned back in her seat, her gaze fixed on him.

Jiang Rangyan's hands on the steering wheel unconsciously tightened.

"I've heard from Xianyu that your health isn't very good,"

As the red light turned green, he stepped on the gas and started the car smoothly. He said in an extremely natural tone, "I know several leading figures in the medical field, both domestically and internationally. What kind of health problem do you have? Would you mind telling me?"

On their first meeting, these words were rather presumptuous, especially since he didn't seem like the kind of person who would be interested in his brother's 'girlfriend's' health.

If close friends were present, they would likely be quite surprised.

But Tang Wanwan is a student who has just finished the college entrance examination.

She had been well protected by her family and childhood friend, and had been surrounded by kindness since she was a child. Upon hearing this, she didn't feel anything was wrong at all, and simply shook her head gently, "Nothing can be found."

The Tang family is not short of money; she has done everything she could, both domestically and internationally, for examinations.

She tried traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and even superstition, but none of them worked.

Shen Xianyu also sought out renowned doctors to diagnose her, but to no avail.

Finally, after a series of consultations by more than a dozen experts in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, the conclusion was that the patient should wait until she got older and see if it would improve on its own.

She was almost ready to give up when, who would have thought, she would encounter something so absurd.

Who would have thought that her health would improve depending on a man?

However absurd it may be, at least there is a solution, right?

That was the dawn of health.

Tang Wanwan had to admit that when she confirmed the dream's hints were true, her first reaction was surprise and delight.

For the sake of her health, she was willing to follow the hints in her dream and take on the role of a 'supporting female character'.

She felt no guilt whatsoever about dumping a man five times.

Jiang Yanzhi's fate was not within her consideration.

The only thing that made her hesitate was Shen Xianyu.

She didn't want to hurt Shen Xianyu.

But if the other person also falls in love, then she can't hurt him.

Tang Wanwan composed herself and asked the person next to her, "Are you and Shen Xianyu on good terms?"

Jiang Yanzhi hummed in agreement, "We grew up in the same circle and have known each other since we were little."

Tang Wanwan knew about Shen Xianyu's family background.

He's in the same social circle as the Shen family, and they've been good brothers since childhood.

And the 'plot' she needs to follow...

Tang Wanwan sighed inwardly and lowered her head.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yanzhi turned his head and glanced at her. "I have a good relationship with him, are you troubled?"

He spoke very softly, as if he were speaking casually.

"No." Tang Wanwan pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

The sense of morality cultivated through years of excellent academic performance and the desire for a healthy body were frantically pulling at her reason.

This left her undecided for a moment.

Let's talk about it after we see Shen Xianyu.

After a few seconds of silence in the car, Jiang Yanzhi asked, "Want to listen to music?"

Tang Wanwan replied casually, "Anything is fine, it's up to you."

So he turned on the music.

A gentle piano piece.

Tang Wanwan listened for a while, then her cell phone rang in her bag.

Seeing the caller ID, her eyes crinkled into a smile as she answered, calling out, "Mom."

Her voice was soft and sweet.

Jiang Yanzhi's eyes darkened slightly, and his fingers trembled slightly as he gripped the steering wheel. Tang Wanwan, oblivious, was engrossed in talking to her mother on her phone.

"Yes, in the car,"

"No, he had something come up at the last minute, and I happened to be on the same flight as his friend, so I rode in his friend's car."

After some instructions were given on the other end, the girl pursed her lips, her voice tinged with shyness, "...I know."

"Mom!...No, that won't happen."

Jiang Yanzhi listened silently from the side.

Suddenly, I remembered that Shen Xianyu had personally supervised the renovation of that large apartment near University A half a year ago.

When his brothers found out, they joked that it was his and his childhood sweetheart's future love nest.

The girl who was protected since childhood has grown up, left her parents' wings, and embarked on her university life.

It's early August now, so it's still early before school starts.

Having no relatives or friends in Beijing, she naturally came to stay with Shen Xianyu.

Her elders in the family tacitly approved of this.

The young couple, deeply in love, were perfectly happy, except for the worry that the girl was too frail.

To receive everyone's blessings.

Before Tang Wanwan could even put her phone away after ending her call with her mother, another call rang.

This time, it's Shen Xianyu.

She answered it briefly and then tilted her head to look at it.

"Mr. Jiang, how much longer until we arrive?"

This was the first time she had called him that, a perfectly normal way of addressing him, yet it surprised both men on the other end of the phone.

Shen Xianyu suddenly realized that the girl was alone with another man in a closed space.

A strange sense of unease welled up inside him.

Jiang Yanzhi glanced at the slowly moving vehicles ahead. "It's hard to say. If it's fast, it'll be within twenty minutes. It's rush hour, so there might be some traffic."

"Did you hear that?" Tang Wanwan said into the phone, "It'll be a little while longer."

“Okay,” Shen Xianyu stood up and said as he walked towards the door, “I’ll wait for you at the door.”

He wouldn't let her hang up the phone.

Tang Wanwan glanced at the battery level. "It won't work. My phone doesn't have much battery left."

The call was disconnected.

The car returned to silence.

Jiang Yanzhi, holding the steering wheel, said, "Just call me by my name. I'm only one year older than you. Do you remember my name?"

He just introduced himself on the plane.

How could Tang Wanwan not remember a name that had shocked her to this day?

Tang Wanwan nodded, "I remember, your name is Jiang Yanzhi."

At this point, she finally remembered to introduce herself, but she was cut off before she could even get started.

"I know you, Tang Wanwan, right?"

In the dim light, the man's voice was slow and deliberate, with a hook-like quality at the end.

Tang Wanwan immediately fell silent.

Before this, she had never imagined that her name could be so...ambiguous.

She didn't say anything more, and the car fell silent again.

This silence, however, made Tang Wanwan feel somewhat uneasy.

The person next to her seemed to glance at her, but then again, they didn't. Tang Wanwan didn't dare turn her head to look.

After the most congested section of the road was over, the speed of the cars gradually increased.

Not long after, the black SUV came to a steady stop in front of a clubhouse.

Through the car window, Tang Wanwan immediately spotted the tall, slender boy at the door.

Shen Xianyu naturally recognized Jiang Yanzhi's car. He walked over and went straight to open the back door, but when he saw the girl he had been longing for sitting in the passenger seat, his expression paused slightly.

Jiang Yanzhi raised an eyebrow. "You're not really treating me like a driver, are you?"
