A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 61 Only with something to rely on can one be fearless.

The dream, combined with reality, can only prove that Jiang Yanzhi did indeed have an impact on her body.

It is not possible to directly issue a verdict against Shen Xianyu.

Would he really like the female lead in the story?
Her hasty end to their relationship was largely due to the excuse that Shen Xianyu would find another 'true love' in the future.

So, she just broke up with him first.

But if even this reason is untenable.

Then she had completely let him down.

She let down a boy who had protected her since childhood, treated her with utmost care, and even saved her life.

Tang Wanwan didn't dare to think about this problem when she was alone.

Only now, with her mother beside her, did she muster the courage to ask the question.

Is it possible that she placed too much faith in her dreams and misunderstood Shen Xianyu?
The answer in my heart was already obvious.

Tang's mother gently stroked her daughter's hair, "You must be very sad."

When Shen Xianyu was hurt, her daughter must have been very sad.

Tang Wanwan's nose suddenly stung, and the tears she had been holding back for so long burst forth.

She covered her eyes with her hands. "I've never seen him cry like that before, and I never imagined I would hurt him like that. I so wanted to hug him... What have I done..."

Her words were incoherent, as if she were questioning herself.

Tang's mother reached out and hugged her daughter, sighing softly, "You like him that much?"

"Mmm..." Tang Wanwan's voice choked with emotion as she nodded emphatically.

"And Jiang Yanzhi, does he like Jiang Yanzhi?"

"I don't know," Tang Wanwan sobbed, unwilling to think about the question at all.

Tang's mother gently comforted her daughter.

She had a very good impression of Shen Xianyu. The young man's love was passionate, flamboyant, and undisguised. He was gentle and considerate in front of her daughter, taking good care of her. They had known each other for many years and she knew his character and temperament very well.

Grandpa Shen and his parents had also visited the Tang family in person, and had long since tacitly approved of the two children's relationship; otherwise, she would not have allowed her daughter to go to Beijing alone.

In the past, Tang's mother believed that if her daughter were to get married, Shen Xianyu would undoubtedly be the best choice.

Now, as a mother, nothing is more important than my child's health.

She gently patted her daughter's back and said, "It's okay if you don't know. You have to try to like him."

Tang Wanwan paused in her sobs, staring blankly at her mother.

"You don't need to be too sincere, just have some liking for it. It's like calligraphy and painting; you have to focus on it first and put your heart into it before you gradually become interested in it."

Tang's mother wiped away her tears and said, "Insincerity will be exposed sooner or later. Once Jiang Yanzhi finds out that you have no sincerity towards him, do you think he will let you play with his pride?"

Therefore, she needs to truly fall in love with Jiang Yanzhi.

Tang Wanwan sniffed and said, "But he likes me a lot, he really likes me."

This is enough.

"..."

Tang's mother fell silent, unable to utter a single word.

The look in his eyes as he looked at his daughter was incredibly complicated.

Clearly, he hadn't expected his well-behaved and adorable daughter to say something so... self-evident.

To take advantage of someone's sincere heart and trample on their feelings.

They spoke so frankly and openly, without realizing anything was wrong.

People often feel fearless only when they have something to rely on.

Who gave them that confidence?

How could Jiang Yanzhi have such confidence in just two days?

Or is it because he was spoiled by that kid from the Shen family?

That must be it!
Her daughter got used to the selfless devotion of her partner in the relationship, and thus became... a little bit... selfish.

Because of her strong maternal instincts, Tang's mother refused to believe that her daughter was like this and blamed Shen Xianyu instead.

Seeing her mother remain silent for a long time, Tang Wanwan frowned worriedly, "...Mom?" "It's nothing," Tang's mother coughed lightly, "Don't overestimate a man's affection, especially a man who has no shortage of money and power..."

At this point, she seemed to remember something, and her expression turned serious. "You two are sleeping in the same room for the past two nights? He..."

"No!" Tang Wanwan interrupted her mother loudly, stammering, "He didn't do anything."

The daughter's cheeks flushed, and she looked shy.

As someone with experience, Tang's mother hesitated upon seeing this, her firm belief turning into doubt. "You really don't like Jiang Yanzhi?"

If I didn't like it, would it look like this?
Tang Wanwan shook her head. "I don't know."

"..." Tang's mother was silent again. After a few seconds, she asked softly, "I saw him kiss you in the car just now. Did you feel disgusted at the time?"

This topic made Tang Wanwan a little embarrassed, but the mother and daughter had always been close, so she didn't hesitate. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and said, "It's not disgusting."

She paused, then added, "He kissed me so many times. If he were disgusted, he would have noticed long ago."

Upon hearing this, Tang's mother was completely speechless.

I don't know whether to be annoyed that my daughter was being kissed repeatedly by her boyfriend, or to be shocked by something else.

Her daughter was naturally very clean...

If you really didn't like someone at all, how could you allow them to kiss you so many times without feeling disgusted?

After a few thoughts flashed through her mind, Tang's mother lowered her voice and asked again, "Do you really like Shen Xianyu?"

“Of course!” Tang Wanwan said seriously, “I can’t bear to see Shen Xianyu cry. If it weren’t for Jiang Yan’s death last night, I would have gone to comfort him.”

At this, Tang's mother's expression changed.

It was as if he had rediscovered his daughter.

Tang Wanwan touched her face in confusion, "Did I cry and ruin my makeup?"

"...No," Tang's mother calmed down, reached out and patted her daughter's head, a half-smile on her face, "I was worried for nothing."

She also worries that her precious daughter will be deceived by a scumbag in a relationship, and then suffer heartbreak, becoming a pitiful little girl crying her eyes out.

It seems that my worries were unfounded.

Tang Wanwan didn't understand what he meant and looked puzzled.

Tang's mother had no intention of answering her daughter's questions.

It's good to be carefree like this.

It's not bad to like two things at the same time.

Who says girls have to be single-minded, loyal, and chaste?

If the dream is real, then it's best not to pay too much attention to either Jiang Yanzhi or that kid from the Shen family.

This is for the best.

Tang's mother was relieved, but she still reminded him, "Don't tell anyone about the dream, not even your father."

It wasn't that she didn't trust her husband, but the story was too absurd and bizarre, and it concerned her daughter's health, so she couldn't afford to make a mistake.

The fewer people who know, the less risk there is.

Tang Wanwan agreed, leaned on her mother's shoulder, and said softly, "I originally planned to tell you alone."

The mother and daughter leaned against each other and chatted intimately for a while until Aunt Chen came to knock on the door.

It's dinnertime.

Tang's father has returned and is receiving guests in the backyard.

Having not seen her father for several days, Tang Wanwan immediately went to call for him.

Beside the rose bush in the backyard, a chessboard was set up, and under the bright light, Tang's father was playing chess with someone.

The person opposite him, holding a white piece, was facing sideways, sitting elegantly with a straight back and refined features. He was... eerily familiar.

Shen Zhixing.

People who were in Beijing yesterday have now come to Z city.

Tang Wanwan paused in her steps.
