A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 72 It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost; turning back is the right path.

Tang Wanwan went home.

Not long after, he came out carrying a bag.

He was running around busily, sweat beading on his forehead, but he still looked quite energetic.

Qian Qinglei was quite happy and said to her boyfriend, "Wanwan's health has really improved a lot."

Xu Yang nodded in agreement, "Indeed."

All these changes came about because I went to Beijing and got a new boyfriend.

Qian Qinglei also thought of this, and as soon as Tang Wanwan got into the car, she took her arm and said, "When are you going to ask your boyfriend to come out and meet you? Xu Yang and I are both curious."

"It's because you're curious that I..."

Xu Yang, who was in the driver's seat, wanted to express his stance, but Qian Qinglei gave him a look and he quickly changed the subject, adopting a more serious attitude, "I'm curious too."

These two are still the same, a bickering couple.

Compared to Shen Xianyu and Tang Wanwan, who only spent time together during summer and winter vacations over the past ten years, these two are true childhood sweethearts.

They're from the same social circle, a good match, and their families have a good relationship.

We've known each other since childhood, our relationship was sweet and loving. We dated secretly before, but after the college entrance exam, we went public with our relationship.

From open-crotch pants to school uniforms, barring any unforeseen circumstances, four years later, it will be time for wedding dresses.

Tang Wanwan was happy to see that they had a good relationship.

She readily agreed, "Okay, I'll have him treat you to dinner another day."

While we were talking, my phone received a few more messages.

Having figured out her biological clock, Jiang Yanzhi called five minutes later when there was no response.

Tang Wanwan was somewhat helpless.

I don't know how he, who is so busy, has so much time to text her.

The call was answered.

Young Master Jiang, who hadn't seen anyone all night, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

He leaned back in his chair, raised his hand to tug at his shirt collar, and said gently, "Wanwan, come out and have dinner with me."

"I don't have time," Tang Wanwan said. "I went to the countryside with some classmates today for a field trip, and we're already on the bus."

Jiang Yanzhi frowned slightly. "Why didn't you mention it last night?"

"Because it was a last-minute decision,"

Tang Wanwan gave a brief explanation, then quickly said, "Okay, that's enough. I'm in the car, the signal isn't very good..."

As she was about to hang up, the man on the other end called out to her, "When are you coming back?"

"It'll take a few days," Tang Wanwan said impatiently. "I'll contact you when I get back. You go about your own business and stop staring at me."

The impatient tone startled Qian Qinglei, who glanced at her boyfriend in the rearview mirror.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yanzhi was silent for a moment before saying, "Send me your location when you get there. I'm worried."

Tang Wanwan hummed in agreement, "I understand."

The call is hung up.

The car was silent for a few seconds.

Qian Qinglei couldn't help but ask, "Boyfriend?"

Tang Wanwan nodded.

hiss…

Qian Qinglei exclaimed in surprise, "Then your attitude towards him is too... cold. Now I'm really starting to wonder if you were really forced to be with him."

Judging from her impatient look, she doesn't seem like someone who fell in love at first sight and was willing to dump her childhood sweetheart for it.

Anyone who didn't know better would think it was about a mindless pursuer who was pestering her.

Tang Wanwan was slightly taken aback. "...Really?"

"Yes!" Qian Qinglei nodded emphatically. "From the moment the call came in, you had a very impatient expression. It's normal for a boyfriend to ask a few more questions when you're on a temporary trip to the countryside for research, but your tone was also very impatient. You almost hung up after only a few words."

Tang Wanwan was speechless.

Qian Qinglei nudged her arm. "Do you really like this boyfriend?"

Tang Wanwan gave a soft "hmm".

Qian Qinglei asked curiously, "Does he like you too?"

Tang Wanwan nodded: "Of course."

"Won't he get angry if you treat him like that?" Qian Qinglei was extremely surprised. "Sometimes when I'm busy and don't pay attention to Xu Yang, he throws a huge tantrum at me."

Xu Yang, who was called out: "..."

Tang Wanwan fell silent again.

It turns out that, from a third-person perspective, her impatience was so obvious.

So, it turns out that boyfriends will get angry if their girlfriends treat them like this.

So, how did Jiang Yanzhi feel?

It seems that she was only cautious at the very beginning.

After confirming their relationship within a single day and learning of his feelings, she began to... become fearless.

Qian Qinglei guessed, "Is he very good-looking? You were confused for a moment and mistook his stunning appearance for love at first sight. Now that you've come to your senses, do you regret it?"

With her brain that's watched countless romantic and melodramatic dramas, she thought for a long time and could only come up with this reason.

After all, one shouldn't react with such impatience when something is forcibly taken from them.

Moreover, given the Shen family's status, there are few who can rival them even in the capital. There's no reason why they couldn't even protect their girlfriend.

The more she thought about it, the more sense it made. Qian Qinglei's tone suddenly became serious, "If you regret it, don't stubbornly insist on it. It's never too late to mend your ways."

"..." Tang Wanwan looked at her friend with a complicated expression, "I remember you were a liberal arts student."

"Don't worry about the details,"

Qian Qinglei waved her hand dismissively, "At our age, we date to be happy. If you're unhappy with him, then you've made the wrong choice. You can always back out. Admitting a mistake isn't that hard."

As her best friend who grew up together, she witnessed Tang Wanwan and Shen Xianyu's ten-year relationship.

Between Shen Xianyu and Jiang Yanzhi, I still side with Shen Xianyu based on both reason and emotion.

Before Tang Wanwan could speak, Xu Yang in the driver's seat suddenly interrupted, "Um... there's something I need to tell you first."

Qian Qinglei looked at him. "What is it?"

Xu Yang coughed softly, "Well, Brother Shen went back to Z City yesterday. He's going on a field trip today, and he'll be there too. We agreed to meet on the main road ahead. He's in a bad mood, and he's with two brothers from Beijing who are going to help him clear his head..."

"Shen Xianyu?" Qian Qinglei exclaimed in surprise, "He's back?"

Brother Shen, Shen Xianyu.

Over the years, Shen Xianyu had become familiar with Z City during winter and summer vacations, and Tang Wanwan's circle of friends was essentially his circle of friends.

He also studied here for a year of high school, and everyone in Tang Wanwan's high school circle knows him.

It really is……

Xu Yang responded, and seeing that Tang Wanwan didn't speak, he quickly explained, "Leilei doesn't know about this. She originally planned for the two of you to go shopping..."

Who would have thought that this usually aloof and sickly beauty, who is impossible to get an appointment with, would suddenly agree to go to the countryside for a field trip?

He really didn't mean to deliberately bring the two together.

"What a coincidence!"

Qian Qinglei, having calmed down from her shock, nudged her friend beside her and asked, "What should we do? Should we still go?"

If the breakup was so undignified, it's bound to be awkward to see each other again.

Tang Wanwan hesitated for a moment.

“There’s no need to avoid it,” Xu Yang said. “Are you really planning to never see each other again? Isn’t it a shame to end a friendship built on growing up together?”
