A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 44... It's pretty scary.

Jiang Yanzhi had already experienced how oblivious she was, and upon hearing this, he sighed softly, "Never mind, just ignore him."

He looked helpless, as if she were a dull, slow block of wood.

Tang Wanwan was a little annoyed and said unconvinced, "Not only did I not notice it, but Shen Xianyu didn't notice it either. My uncle even took us out to eat yesterday."

Jiang Yanzhi sneered: "That's because he covered it up well beforehand and didn't let Shen Xianyu see through it. It shows he still has some bottom line!"

In short, Shen Zhixing's affection for her was definitely not that of a loving elder.

Didn't you see the look in his eyes? He was clearly suppressing his emotions to the extreme.

What kind of elder looks at their nephew's girlfriend like that?!

But it’s understandable.

From Shen Zhixing's perspective, he probably fell in love with his nephew's girlfriend but, due to moral constraints, dared not make any rash moves.

For three whole years, from the first year of high school to the third, I witnessed the relationship between the two "juniors" while I occupied the position of the elder and silently endured it.

As a result, within a day, the two "younger" women broke up, and the girl he dared not make a move on immediately found herself with another man.

No wonder the fox's tail couldn't be hidden under everyone's watchful eyes.

Anyone would be on edge.

Jiang Yanzhi mentally rehearsed Shen Zhixing's thought process and was convinced that the truth was pretty much what he had guessed.

He held the steering wheel with one hand, and reached out with the other to hold hers, asking, "You two haven't spent time alone together before, have you?"

“…Yes,” Tang Wanwan answered honestly, “During my senior year of high school, I was busy and rarely went home for lunch. He would often pass by our school and take me out to eat.”

At the time, she didn't think much of it; it was just a meal. But now, after hearing Jiang Yanzhi's words and thinking back, she realized that Shen Zhixing had indeed been... too good to her.

Such a busy person would take her out to eat every now and then, claiming that he was just passing by and didn't want to eat alone, so he asked her to keep him company, which would also be a good opportunity for this high school student to have better meals.

Kill two birds with one stone.

In addition, he knew her preferences, and occasionally when he came across any poems, calligraphy, or masterpieces, he would specially take pictures of them for her to keep.

To say nothing of the distant past, the inkstone on her desk was a coming-of-age gift from Shen Zhixing.

She loved the inkstone so much that it took three years to make just one piece, and she couldn't bear to use it, only wanting to display it.

As they were talking, the car stopped.

Jiang Yanzhi turned his head and saw her deep in thought, and asked with a smile, "Have you figured it out? Did you realize that his kindness towards you is a bit unusual?"

"..." Tang Wanwan glanced at him, then pursed her lips and remained silent.

Upon suddenly learning that the person she had always regarded as an elder had such feelings for her, her emotions were indeed extremely complicated.

"Alright, don't think about it so much,"

Jiang Yanzhi leaned down and kissed her on the lips, coaxing her with a smile, "Don't worry, your boyfriend is very capable. As long as I don't want to, no one can steal him from me."

The Shen family couldn't suppress him, and he didn't even care about the uncle and nephew together, unless the girl herself was willing.

But that's impossible; that's why she dumped Shen Xianyu for him.

With his love life going too smoothly, Young Master Jiang is brimming with confidence at this moment.

He firmly believed that the girl beside him felt the same way he did.

He loved her as much as she loved him.

Their relationship was rock solid, and even Shen Xianyu posed no threat to them, let alone Shen Zhixing, who was not worth his attention.

However, that very afternoon their rock-solid relationship encountered its first obstacle.

...Jiang Yanzhi is currently in charge of the Jiang Group's medical branch, and he is very busy with daily affairs. He had to cancel several meetings to make time to accompany her for her physical examination today.

After lunch, he took Tang Wanwan back to the company.

The elevator went straight to the top floor. As soon as the door opened, an assistant came up to greet us, bowing slightly and speaking clearly and quickly about the upcoming schedule.

Jiang Yanzhi listened, but didn't stop walking, pulling Tang Wanwan towards the office.

As I passed the secretariat, several special assistants who were working at their desks inside stood up at the same time.

A sense of urgency unique to the workplace washes over you.

Tang Wanwan, who had never worked before, suddenly felt a sense of guilt, thinking, "He's so busy, so many people are waiting for him, and I've actually wasted so much of his time."

Following the assistant who was reporting on the work, I pushed open the office door.

The minimalist white and gray color scheme is most striking, with the floor-to-ceiling windows being the most eye-catching feature. Whether it's due to the clever design or the special glass material, the intense summer sunlight doesn't feel glaring when it shines through.

The lighting is bright and easy on the eyes, and the view is expansive, offering a panoramic vista of the city center.

The assistant has finished reporting.

Jiang Yanzhi raised his hand to look at his watch and said, "The meeting will be postponed by ten minutes."

"No!"

Tang Wanwan didn't want to interfere with his work, so she pulled her hand away from him, saying, "Go ahead and do your work, I can be by myself."

"Why are you being so sensible? I'm not in a rush. I'll show you around first, so you can get familiar with the place."

Jiang Yanzhi smiled and patted her head, saying, "This is Assistant Wu. I met him on the plane. You can ask him for anything while I'm not here."

Assistant Wu was still in shock at how her workaholic boss could say "there's no rush" without batting an eye when she heard him call her name. She immediately lowered her head, flattered, and said, "Hello, Ms. Tang. You can just call me Xiao Wu."

Tang Wanwan nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

Jiang Yanzhi then pulled her inside, saying, "This is the lounge."

Although it's called a lounge, it's really no different from home.

The gym, living room, and bedroom are all fully equipped.

Judging from the signs of activity in the area, this person probably slept at the company quite often.

Right.

In the story, he was an absolute career-oriented person from the beginning. He was the young and promising heir of the Jiang Group, and among the scions of prominent families in the capital, he was a cold, aloof, and untouchable beauty.

It was only after meeting the female supporting character that he became like a victim of a curse, letting her take whatever she wanted, and allowing her to play with and manipulate his sincere heart.

Tang Wanwan recalled the dream she had subconsciously forgotten... How many times had the female supporting character asked to get back together?

He was furious, like a madman, and pressed 'her' down on the bed and kissed her... It was quite frightening.

In that instant, Tang Wanwan felt as if she were truly in the midst of it all.

She was scared to death.

But after spending the last two days with him, she found that he was quite normal.

She remained silent for a long time, and Jiang Yanzhi frowned slightly. Suddenly, he leaned closer and looked down at her face.

"Are you tired? Why don't you take a nap?"

It's already late afternoon. I had a pretty tough time with the physical exam today, and they even drew three vials of blood. I really need to rest. There's even a bed ready for me.
