A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 5 is definitely not ordinary.

“…Not at all,” Shen Xianyu smiled and said, “Thanks.”

While they were talking, Tang Wanwan had already pushed open the door and jumped out of the car.

"Be careful," Shen Xianyu said, supporting her arm and looking down at her. "How are you? Is anything bothering you?"

Tang Wanwan was tired of hearing this. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine, just a little hungry."

Seeing that she looked great, Shen Xianyu's eyebrows relaxed. "Alright, let Wanwan eat first."

Sure enough, the doctor was right; her health would improve as she got older.

He called out to Jiang Yanzhi and was about to lead his men inside.

"Hey!" Tang Wanwan turned around. "My suitcase is still in the car."

Jiang Yanzhi followed behind them. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's alright, we won't get lost."

Shen Xianyu explained gently, "Yan Zhi lives in the same place as us, just upstairs or downstairs."

Tang Wanwan knew that he had moved out of the old house and lived separately from his parents after he came of age.

The University A, where she will be attending, is still more than twenty days away from the start of the new semester. Since she has come to Beijing early, it means that she has agreed to live with him.

But hearing these words, which sounded like cohabitation, still made me blush.

Fortunately, Jiang Yanzhi seemed not to understand the meaning of these words, remaining calm and silent.

…………

The private room is on the top floor.

The host of the welcoming banquet hadn't arrived yet, and the banquet hadn't started. Inside, the people who had been waiting for a long time were either playing cards or chatting, but they were all keeping an eye on the door.

Although they had seen the photos, they were still incredibly curious about what the girl Shen Xianyu had cherished in his heart for ten years actually looked like in real life.

So, when the door was pushed open from the outside, everyone inside stopped what they were doing and looked over.

……

The air was quiet for a moment.

The girl at the entrance probably came directly from the airport. She didn't even have time to dress up. She was dressed casually, wearing canvas shoes, and her long hair was casually tied into a bun, with strands falling down her forehead.

In the sweltering heat, she was completely covered up from head to toe, not even her arms were showing.

His disheveled appearance meant he would never normally appear before those young masters.

But at this moment, no one looked away.

Some beauties don't need clothes to enhance their looks.

Even if it's wrapped in a tattered cloth, it's still captivating.

She was stunning just by standing there gracefully.

Someone quickly realized what was happening.

A series of "Holy shit!" sounds rang out.

"I knew that any girl who could make our young master Shen lose his soul must be extraordinary."

The speaker deliberately touched his chin and winked at Shen Xianyu, saying, "Seeing is believing, Miss Tang is truly stunning."

Tang Wanwan had heard such straightforward praise since she was a child, so she didn't think much of it.

Despite being watched by so many people, she showed no sign of embarrassment.

Jiang Yanzhi entered first and immediately instructed the two waiters in the corner to serve the dishes.

Shen Xianyu smiled and told them to tone it down, then said to Tang Wanwan, "That's just their temper, they mean no harm."

He pulled Tang Wanwan inside and began to introduce her to the world.

There weren't many people in the private room. Those who were present at this welcoming banquet were all Shen Xianyu's closest circle of friends. Several of them brought female friends, all of whom were wearing fitted dresses, with exquisite makeup, and looking gentle and obedient.

Shen Xianyu seemed unfamiliar with his brother's girlfriends, and skipped over them when introducing them.

Tang Wanwan didn't notice anything amiss and greeted everyone.

Hearing them call her Miss Tang, she smiled and said, "My name is Tang Wanwan, you can just call me Wanwan."

Her demeanor was poised and graceful, and she remained calm and composed despite the honor she received; it was clear that she had been well-mannered at home.

However, despite the smile in her eyes and lips, she still possessed a cool and aloof air, as if she were separated from everyone else. When only Jiang Yan was left, someone laughed and said, "Yan Zhi doesn't need an introduction. You two are quite destined to be on the same plane."

—Not just the same plane.

Thinking of the absurd hints in her dream, Tang Wanwan felt extremely conflicted.

As soon as Jiang Yan entered, he found a corner seat and sat down, his head down, seemingly lost in thought. When he heard his name called, he looked up.

Just then, Tang Wanwan was also looking at him.

Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Jiang Yanzhi lowered his gaze slightly. "Since we've already met, let's eat first. I'm hungry."

The door to the private room was just pushed open.

A dozen or so waiters filed in, carrying dishes.

Everyone got up and went to the dining room in the next room.

……

This is a banquet held to welcome Tang Wanwan.

Therefore, as soon as he sat down, someone came to offer him a toast.

Before Tang Wanwan could speak, Shen Xianyu said first, "She doesn't drink."

"Really?" Gu Yunyi chuckled, glancing over. "I remember Miss Tang is about to become a college student. Shouldn't she learn to drink a little?"

He was deliberately deceiving himself.

Tang Wanwan understood, but she was indeed somewhat tempted, her face full of eagerness.

"No," Shen Xianyu said unmoved, "your body can't take it."

He ladled out a bowl of sweet soup and placed it in front of her, saying, "Drink some soup before you eat."

“I’m really feeling much better,” Tang Wanwan said softly, holding his wrist. “I walked so much and rode in so many cars today, but I don’t feel tired at all.”

She even felt that her body was no different from that of an ordinary person.

Shen Xianyu looked down at her face.

Seeing that she looked really good, I felt a little happier.

"Really want to drink?"

Tang Wanwan nodded.

Shen Xianyu sighed, took a wine glass, and poured her a tiny bit of red wine.

It's really only a tiny bit.

Even so, he added, "Drink slowly, don't get drunk."

Tang Wanwan really didn't mind having too little food, but everyone else at the table was stunned.

They all knew that Young Master Shen had a childhood sweetheart he cherished, but they never expected that the two of them would get along like this.

Shen Xianyu didn't care about their thoughts. He was used to taking care of people. After pouring the wine, he picked up a hairy crab and started peeling it.

It's truly astonishing.

Gu Yunyi chuckled, "How come I never noticed before that our young master Shen has such a virtuous side?"

Her virtuousness is truly eye-opening.

"Even food can't shut you up." Shen Xianyu glanced at him, his tone indifferent, showing no awareness of being teased. On the contrary, Tang Wanwan felt a little embarrassed.

She took the crab meat he offered, handed him a tissue, and whispered, "Don't peel it for me."

Shen Xianyu hummed in agreement.

Crabs are considered to have a cold nature, and he originally only planned to peel one.

He wiped his fingers clean, picked up his glass, and said, "You'd like to drink your first glass of wine with me, no problem, right?"

of course not.

Tang Wanwan raised her glass and clinked it against his, taking a small sip.

Shen Xianyu smiled: "How does it taste?"
