A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 56 "Do you think I'm willing to lose control of my emotions?"

Jiang Yanzhi nodded without changing his expression.

"Really?" Tang Wanwan was skeptical. "Don't go back on your word."

“I will keep my word,” Jiang Yanzhi sighed. “I don’t have the habit of asking for trouble.”

Therefore, in his view, 'holding her to sleep' or 'making physical advances' was just asking for trouble.

Tang Wanwan blushed. She was no match for him when it came to being a rogue, and she couldn't win an argument with him, so she simply glared at him and lay down straight.

Jiang Yanzhi sat with his legs propped up, tilting his head to ask her, "Should I turn off the light?"

No one said a word.

Jiang Yanzhi chuckled and reached out to turn off the light.

Suddenly, the room was plunged into darkness.

Tang Wanwan felt a sinking sensation beside her; someone had lain down.

Her back tensed up involuntarily.

Jiang Yanzhi lay on his side, looking at the girl beside him in the darkness, his heart aching and throbbing.

He asked her, "Aren't you scared?"

Are you scared to share a bed with a boy for the first time at night?

Tang Wanwan hummed in agreement, "A little."

“Don’t be afraid, Wanwan,” Jiang Yanzhi reached out and patted her shoulder, “Don’t be afraid at all, I won’t hurt you.”

In the darkness, his voice was incredibly gentle.

Tang Wanwan gradually calmed down.

The patting on her shoulder stopped, and his hand moved down her shoulder and arm, finally squeezing her wrist bone. He asked with a smile, "Shall we touch palms?"

"..." Tang Wanwan was silent for a moment, then slowly loosened her clenched fingers.

The next second, the man's large palm pressed against it.

The slender finger bones were inserted.

Interlocking fingers, palms touching.

"So good..."

Jiang Yanzhi tightened his grip on her slender fingers, feeling extremely happy, even temporarily dispelling the gloom of parting tomorrow.

“Let’s talk for a bit,” he said with a smile. “Is there anything you want to ask me?”

……for example?
Tang Wanwan didn't hesitate, "After you went downstairs tonight, you didn't get into a fight with Shen Xianyu, did you?"

"No,"

Jiang Yanzhi played with her delicate fingers, his tone nonchalant, "I've made it clear to him that you are mine now, and he is just a thing of the past. Please ask him to accept reality and stop making things difficult for you."

The words may be unpleasant to hear, but they are all true.

Tang Wanwan was not feeling well. "You drank a lot of alcohol?"

"Yeah, that kid kept drinking it, so I drank a few bottles with him."

As he spoke, Jiang Yanzhi suddenly raised his eyes, staring at her blurry silhouette in the darkness, "You don't feel sorry for him too, do you?"

"I didn't!" Tang Wanwan's voice suddenly rose, her tone extremely fierce: "Don't you dare accuse me falsely!"

It gives the impression of someone being hit where it hurts, and then becoming angry and embarrassed.

The room quieted down.

Jiang Yanzhi squinted at her for a long while before nodding and saying, "Okay, that's fine."

He didn't want to dwell on it too much, and said in a calm tone, "In the future, give him less hope, and he'll get over it sooner or later."

Tang Wanwan nodded, "I know."

She had no intention of having any further romantic entanglements with Shen Xianyu.

That was the devoted male supporting character in the story.

Jiang Yanzhi skipped over the topic and asked her, "How many days do you plan to stay in Z City?"

How many days to stay?
Tang Wanwan said, "I don't know yet."

That means they have no intention of doing so.

Jiang Yanzhi was not satisfied with this answer. "Don't you miss me at all?"

If she can only return to Beijing when school starts, then they will be separated for more than twenty days.

Tang Wanwan also considered her physical condition; she probably couldn't be without him for too long. "And what about you?" She turned slightly to the person next to her, "How long can you stay in Z City?"

Jiang Yanzhi said, "It will take at least three to five days, and at most a week."

He is a truly busy person.

He only allocated these few days for the case in Z City.

This girl's situation was a sudden change.

She's there, refusing to come back with him. What can he do?
He has always acted decisively and is used to being a dictator; the word "yield" should not be associated with him.

But now, without even a second's hesitation, Jiang Yanzhi added, "If you want to stay until school starts, then I'll stay in Z City until school starts. You can't let me go to your house, just don't let me lose track of you."

He missed her and needed to be able to see her anytime.

Tang Wanwan had no objection to the meeting; she was just a little surprised, "Are you sure you can manage without going back to Beijing?"

Is he really planning to become a tyrannical ruler?
Young Master Jiang, who was being secretly called a 'tyrant' by his girlfriend, simply nodded.

"It's not like you can't operate without me. After school starts, I'll be at school half the time. The staff aren't just sitting idly by either. Important meetings can be held online, so you don't need to worry."

He smiled and said, "If you're really worried, then come back with me sooner rather than later."

He looked like he'd finally gotten a girlfriend and couldn't bear to part with her for even a second.

Gentle and tolerant, yet also very clingy.

It was as if the violent man she saw tonight was just her imagination.

Tang Wanwan muttered softly, "You were scary tonight."

It is a declarative sentence and does not imply accusation.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanzhi paused for a moment, then asked her softly, "When was it?"

Was it the time in the basement that was scary, or was it the playful antics in bed that made her feel scared?

"..." Tang Wanwan choked, and couldn't help but kick him, gritting her teeth: "Downstairs!"

At that time, his face was so ugly that it terrified her; it was terrifying.

Jiang Yanzhi responded with an "oh," showing no remorse whatsoever, and said with a faint smile, "You have to understand me."

"As I've said before, I'm not a very generous person. I don't have the habit of sharing things I truly like with others. The more I like something, the less I can tolerate others having it..."

His feelings for her went beyond mere liking.

She could easily influence his emotions.

"Tang Wanwan, I value you more than I have ever valued in my twenty years of life,"

Jiang Yanzhi squeezed her palm and sighed softly, "Do you think I want to lose control of my emotions?"

If you don't truly love someone, who would willingly become an emotionally unstable madman?

If he didn't truly like her, he wouldn't have snatched her away from his brother.

Tang Wanwan was speechless.

They've only known each other for two days.

How can you like her so much?
He doesn't seem like a very emotional person, so how could he have fallen head over heels for her in such a short time?

Is the plot really that important?

Why does she insist that he offer his sincere heart only to be tormented by her five times?
Once her storyline ends, shouldn't he finally realize his mistake?

Tang Wanwan found that only by thinking this way could she feel a little better about her guilt.

Who would feel good about trampling on someone's sincerity?

The more straightforward and honest his feelings were, the more she felt he was a dark person.

Very bad, very bad.

Before he could say anything more, Tang Wanwan spoke first, "Go to sleep, I'm sleepy."

She didn't want to talk anymore.

She tried to pull her clasped hands away, saying, "Let go, I can't sleep like this."

“Okay,” Jiang Yanzhi let go of her hand, put his arm around her shoulder, and asked softly, “Want a goodnight kiss?”

Tang Wanwan didn't hold back, reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck and tilting her head back to kiss his chin. "Is it okay now?"

Jiang Yanzhi smiled, lowered his head, and returned a kiss to the corner of her lips. "Sleep."

It's the first day of the month, so I'm asking for monthly votes, recommendation votes, and a five-star review. There's no rating yet, so it's bare and not very appealing.
