A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

What's the tension in Chapter 6?
It's sweet with a hint of bitterness, and has a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Tang Wanwan nodded: "Not bad."

With that, she downed the wine in her glass in one gulp.

Shen Xianyu was too late to stop him, and his expression changed. "Why are you drinking so fast!"

Tang Wanwan was speechless: "It's just a little bit, and you want me to drink it in several sips?"

"..."

A soft laugh suddenly rang out from the side.

It was Gu Yunyi, who had been watching them the whole time, tilting his head and smiling in a particularly worthless way.

Seeing Tang Wanwan looking over, he tapped her empty wine glass with his fingertip and asked with a smile, "How about... we refill it? It's our first time meeting today, and since we've broken our vows, it wouldn't be right not to have a drink."

He was good-looking, with a smiling face that made people feel close to him for no reason.

Tang Wanwan had the same idea.

After being a good girl for eighteen years, I'm now a college student. What's wrong with having a little alcohol?

Anyway...

She glanced at the man a few seats away out of the corner of her eye.

Anyway, she'll recover soon.

With that in mind, Tang Wanwan handed over the empty wine glass with a perfectly reasonable conscience.

The next second, Shen Xianyu grabbed his wrist, his face full of disapproval.

“I know what I’m doing,” Tang Wanwan said with a smile, looking up at him. “Let me have a drink, please.”

Her eyes were bright and sparkling, and she looked radiant, showing no signs of weakness or fatigue.

Shen Xianyu looked at it for a while, then compromised, "One last cup."

Despite his constant control over her, he's always the one who can't win against her in their relationship.

Gu Yunyi personally poured half a glass of wine for him.

With that half-glass of wine, Tang Wanwan clinked glasses with everyone at the table.

Red wine has a strong aftereffect, especially for a girl who never drank alcohol before.

When it was Jiang Yanzhi's turn, the wine in his glass was almost empty again, and Tang Wanwan was a little dazed.

She composed herself and said to him, "Jiang Yanzhi, thank you for picking me up today."

Jiang Yanzhi glanced at her, said nothing, just smiled, picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

To say he was indifferent wouldn't be accurate, since he doesn't drink with just anyone.

But it wasn't exactly bustling.

It's about being polite but distant towards my brother's girlfriend.

After finishing the round of drinks, Tang Wanwan became familiar with everyone and they were now acquainted.

At the dinner table, the conversation between the men gradually veered towards business. Tang Wanwan listened for a few minutes but quickly lost interest.

She was a little hungry, but she had something on her mind, so she ate absentmindedly. Every few bites of rice, her eyes would unconsciously dart towards her "all-around tonic."

She thought she was being discreet, but from the perspective of the person being spied on, the girl was practically using him as a snack.

He glanced at me, ate a couple of bites of rice, and was remarkably methodical.

Jiang Yanzhi, who had been sitting casually talking to her friend, gradually stiffened, and the side of her body that was being looked at felt hot.

The girl over there had absolutely no idea what restraint was.

Jiang Yanzhi felt hot. He reached out and unbuttoned his shirt collar. Not satisfied, he picked up his wine glass, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

The cool liquor was swallowed as his Adam's apple bobbed.

Gone was his usual calm and composed demeanor; his movements now appeared hurried.

Fu Jingbai, who was talking to him, immediately noticed something was wrong. She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked in surprise, "What are you so nervous about?"

He simply asked if the acquisition in Z City was going smoothly.

Tang Wanwan was busy eating and didn't pay attention to what was happening over there.

She had just looked up when she heard someone call her name. It was Gu Yunyi; he seemed to have been staring at her for a long time.

Seeing her looking over, he smiled and said, "I heard Wanwan is a freshman at A University?"

Tang Wanwan nodded. "That's right."

“Junior sister,” Gu Yunyi’s smile deepened, “did Xianyu tell you that we brothers all go to the same school?”

“No,” Tang Wanwan shook her head very honestly, “No, he rarely mentions other people in front of me.”

Otherwise, she wouldn't have heard the name 'Jiang Yanzhi' for the first time today.

Gu Yunyi clicked his tongue lightly and muttered with a smile, "He values ​​women more than friends."

Tang Wanwan discovered that this person really loved to laugh.

She also seems to have a particularly good temper.

She wasn't the only girl at the dinner table. These young men were quite polite to her, but they were rather casual with the other girls.

It's not that I disrespect them, it's just that kind of cold indifference, like I don't even care about them.

Even Shen Xianyu himself didn't pay any attention to the girls sitting next to his brothers from beginning to end.

Only Gu Yunyi always had a smile on his face, making him seem to have the best temper among these people.

Tang Wanwan wasn't surprised to hear that they were all from University A.

There are only a few well-known universities in China. Since neither of them chose to go abroad, it's perfectly normal for brothers who grew up in the same circle to attend the same university.

The two chatted back and forth for a few minutes.

Shen Xianyu listened silently for a while, and seeing that the two seemed to be getting more and more into conversation, he first glanced at Gu Yunyi, then placed a piece of lotus root on Tang Wanwan's plate with his chopsticks, and said in a low voice, "Eat your food properly."

……

“No,” Gu Yunyi clicked his tongue, “you’re really jealous.”

The words were spoken in a way that everyone at the table heard, and they all turned to look in the direction of the voice.

"Of course!" someone teased with a laugh. "Our young master Shen has toiled for so many years to finally get ahead, and his possessiveness... tsk..."

The 'tsk' sound was drawn out at the end.

Shen Xianyu remained unfazed, laughing and scolding, "Enjoy your drinks."

After dinner, Tang Wanwan had become much more familiar with them.

After dinner, it was still early, so of course we decided to have a second round.

A group of people moved to a karaoke room.

A few young men, in twos and threes, started to find their own amusement.

The private room was dimly lit, and slow music was playing from the stereo.

Jiang Yanzhi leaned back on the sofa, lit a cigarette between his fingers, his face appearing and disappearing in the flickering light, and tilted his head to speak to Fu Jingbai.

In the corner, Gu Yunyi was setting up a card game, but they were one player short.

Not long after Tang Wanwan sat down, someone called her to join them.

“That’s easy,” Gu Yunyi laughed. “With your intelligence that got you into A University, I guarantee you’ll get the hang of it in two tries.”

Tang Wanwan also found this person's way of speaking quite interesting.

He always uses reverse psychology.

She actually went over and joined in.

Shen Xianyu sat behind her and taught her step by step.

Before the game was even over, my attention had already drifted to the person sitting next to me.

Shen Xianyu noticed her absent-mindedness and looked down to ask, "Are you drunk? Or tired?"

He leaned in so close, his body pressing against hers from behind, his breath brushing against her ear. Only then did Tang Wanwan realize that their position was rather intimate, as if she were completely encircled in his arms.

Her neck quickly flushed pink, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jiang Yanzhi stub out his cigarette, stand up, open the door to the private room, and walk out.

"Wanwan?" Not receiving a reply, Shen Xianyu frowned slightly. "How about we go home first?"
