A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 54 "Tone it down!"

He recounted everything that had happened in the past two days.

Finally, she talked about the night she had a private date with Jiang Yanzhi, Shen Xianyu's keen observation, and Jiang Yanzhi's relentless pursuit.

She was forced into this situation and compelled to choose between two options in a short period of time.

This has led to the current situation.

Shen Xianyu still refused to let go and was still crying downstairs. After Jiang Yanzhi and she came up, they went downstairs again.

Qian Qinglei on the other end of the phone was stunned. "...This Jiang Yanzhi is ruthless!"

Others might not understand, but as a friend of many years, how could she not know her friend's personality?
Tang Wanwan is a very sentimental person.

Furthermore, they have their own comfort zone.

She doesn't like her habits being broken.

She develops a great deal of tolerance for the people and things around her over time.

After ten years of relationship, even if she really no longer loved Shen Xianyu, she couldn't bring herself to make the heartless decision to cleanly and decisively abandon him in such a short time.

This shows just how powerful Jiang Yanzhi is.

He could make her best friend fall in love at first sight, and within a day, force her to choose between Shen Xianyu and him, making her firmly choose him instead.

In one day, he stole his brother's girlfriend.

That's really... incredibly awesome.

Since it was love at first sight, it couldn't have been because of the other person's talent or character, could it?

—It can only be appearance.

Qian Qinglei clicked her tongue in amazement, "How good-looking must Jiang Yanzhi be for someone like you, who's used to seeing Shen Xianyu's face, to fall for him at first sight!"

"..." Tang Wanwan was silent for a moment. Since she couldn't talk about her absurd dream, she could only give an objective evaluation: "He is quite handsome, handsome in a way that is pleasing to the eye."

To Qian Qinglei, these words were undeniable proof of her being a scumbag!

Driven by lust, he dumped his childhood sweetheart of ten years.

If it were anyone else, she would have cursed them as a scumbag.

But this is her best friend.

Qian Qinglei, who side with her family regardless of right or wrong, naturally didn't see anything wrong with it, but simply reminded her, "Are you really sure about this?"

“…I don’t know,” Tang Wanwan pursed her lips, “I don’t know if I will regret it later, but now, I’ve made up my mind.”

"That's good. It's good that you've thought it through now. We're still young, so let's just focus on the present. We can talk about the future later. Don't feel guilty."

Qian Qinglei comforted her, "It's just a relationship. No one says that childhood sweethearts have to stay together forever. Breaking up doesn't mean you've wronged him. Don't hurt yourself, Wanwan."

Tang Wanwan hummed in agreement, “...Okay.”

Qian Qinglei offered her several more words of comfort, and finally couldn't help but laugh.

"I was thinking that with your qualifications, it would be too good for Shen Xianyu if you didn't negotiate a few more deals and he settled on you early. I didn't expect you to act so quickly. Go ahead and negotiate with a few more people!"

She genuinely believed that her friend's trip to Beijing had awakened her "scumbag" tendencies.

Tang Wanwan was speechless. "There won't be anyone else. I'll just talk about this."

"???" Qian Qinglei asked in surprise, "It's only been a short time, and you already like him this much?"

She was genuinely curious. "Is he coming back with you tomorrow? I really want to see what he looks like."

“Sure, I’ll introduce you two when I have the chance,” Tang Wanwan was about to say something when the door was pushed open from the outside.

Jiang Yanzhi is back.

On the phone, Qian Qinglei was still talking, "What time is your flight tomorrow? Xu Yang and I will pick you up."

Tang Wanwan looked at the man at the door, coughed lightly, and turned her head to the phone, saying, "No need, I'll contact you when I get home. Leilei, I have something to do, I'll hang up now."

Qian Qinglei noticed something was off about her voice; someone had clearly arrived. She paused, then asked softly, "He knows about your health condition, right?"

It just can't be...

Tang Wanwan gave a soft "Mmm," "I know." "Okay," Qian Qinglei breathed a sigh of relief, "then I'm relieved."

Call switching.

Jiang Yanzhi had already reached the bedside. "Who were you calling?"

His clothes were wrinkled, his short hair was messy and fell across his forehead, and he smelled faintly of alcohol.

Tang Wanwan frowned. "You've been drinking?"

“Shen Xianyu drank, and I drank some with him,” Jiang Yanzhi obediently answered her, then pressed, “Who did you call?”

"..." Tang Wanwan was speechless.

The man was very tall, and just standing by the bed made her feel a strong sense of oppression.

She propped herself up on the bed and sat up, saying, "A friend, a girl."

Jiang Yanzhi responded with an "oh" to indicate that he had heard her. As he spoke, he knelt on one knee on the bed, bent his straight back, and leaned slightly closer, wanting to kiss her.

Tang Wanwan reached out and pushed him, wrinkling her nose and turning her face away, "You reek of smoke and alcohol!"

Jiang Yanzhi paused, lifted the corner of his shirt to sniff it, his face stiffened for a moment, and he quickly took half a step back with the leg that was kneeling on the bed. He raised his arm, took off his shirt, held it in his hand, and turned around to say, "I'm going to take a shower first."

After saying that, he walked towards the bathroom, shirtless.

They were completely unaware of how inappropriate their act of taking off their clothes was.

Tang Wanwan was stunned for a few seconds by his pale, half-naked body, then raised her hand and rubbed her face.

He drank too much.

Must be!
Surely he couldn't be deliberately trying to seduce her... right?

That slender, taut waist kept swaying in front of my eyes.

It's not exaggerated muscle definition; the abdominal muscles look thin yet powerful.

And arm muscles...

Twenty years old is the age between boyhood and manhood...

Tang Wanwan raised her hand again and rubbed her face.

It turns out that his gym equipment wasn't just for show.

When Jiang Yanzhi came out of the bathroom, he looked up and saw the girl leaning against the headboard, her slender fingers rubbing her face.

He paused for a moment, then asked, "What are you doing?"

Right now, he was dressed neatly, not revealing anything he shouldn't have. He was raising his arm to dry his hair with a towel, his face wet, with water droplets running down his neck...

Tang Wanwan glared at her, "Tone it down!"

The young master Jiang, who was advised to be more restrained, looked completely bewildered.

He walked closer, stared at the girl on the bed for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "What are you thinking? I'm just drying my hair, what did you think I was doing?"

Tang Wanwan corrected her with a stern face, "You even took off your clothes!"

"Oh, I took off my clothes, I was really quite unrestrained,"

Jiang Yanzhi repeated softly, ignoring his damp clothes, he leaned closer to her and asked with a smile, "So, with me being so unrestrained, have I seduced you?"

Tang Wanwan: "..."

Jiang Yanzhi laughed and reached out to touch her face. "Can you smell if I still smell of alcohol?"

The smell of wine was gone, leaving only a faint scent of cedar wood approaching, carrying a scorching pressure as it leaned towards her.

Tang Wanwan gripped the thin blanket tightly, about to say something, when he pecked her on the cheek.

"Can you still smell the smoke?"

Jiang Yanzhi knelt on one knee on the bed, holding her chin with one hand and putting his arm around her shoulder with the other. His lips kept touching her cheek as he murmured, "I don't like the smell of smoke. I promise I won't smoke anymore, okay?"

Anyway, kissing her is the same.

I got a lot of votes today, thank you all! I'm still asking for monthly votes, recommendation votes, and five-star reviews.
