A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 75 "So well-behaved when drunk?"

Tang Wanwan was taken aback and followed his gaze.

"Them,"

Ignoring his previous sharp tongue, Tang Wanwan generously explained to him, "They've known each other since they were little, the kind of childhood sweethearts, you know what childhood sweethearts are, right?"

“I know,” Fu Jingbai said in a flat tone, “I mean, you and Xianyu, you know.”

Tang Wanwan: "..."

She took a deep breath and said, "Not entirely. I didn't meet Shen Xianyu until I was eight years old. Leilei and Xu Yang knew each other when they were babies. Their relationship was approved by both families."

Fu Jingbai gave an "oh" with a forced smile, "It's quite wonderful."

Tang Wanwan frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"

Weird and weird.

Fu Jingbai glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Tang Wanwan's brow twitched. She was about to say something when she heard Shen Xianyu's voice, "Ignore him and settle your accommodations for tonight first."

There are no hotels in towns that haven't been commercially developed.

There are no guesthouses available either.

Only the town's local residential houses.

There were too many of them for one family to accommodate them all, so they had to travel together in groups of three or five.

Xu Yang came to find his girlfriend, but he had already found a family to marry into.

I booked three empty rooms.

Tang Wanwan and Qian Qinglei discussed it and decided that the two of them would share a room.

The two girls will have company at night.

In the other room, before Shen Xianyu could express his opinion, Fu Jingbai, as if afraid that his good brother would get too deeply involved, took the lead and moved in first.

After booking rooms and paying for dinner, and having a local family cook several tables of local specialties, we decided to go out for a stroll before it got dark, as it was the coolest time of day.

Tang Wanwan was taking pictures with her phone when Jiang Yanzhi called her on video.

He sent her several messages in the afternoon, but she was dizzy and lightheaded from the long bus ride and didn't reply.

Seeing the incoming call and glancing at Shen Xianyu not far away, he felt inexplicably guilty.

She hung up the video call.

I sent a message back.

Jiang Yanzhi replied quickly.

There was no mention of her disappearing all afternoon, nor of her hanging up the video call just now.

There are only two words: positioning.

Concise and concise.

Tang Wanwan's heart pounded, so she let Qian Qinglei and Xu Yang go first, and sat down on a stone under the willow tree to type in peace.

—Are you coming over?
This time, he replied even faster, reducing the number of words to just one: —Hmm.

Tang Wanwan stared at the word and blinked.

—No, it's far away. It takes a long time to come and go. Aren't you busy with the acquisition? If you come tonight, you'll be very tired if you rush back tomorrow. You go ahead with your work. I'm safe here. Everyone here is a classmate and a friend. Don't worry about me.

City Z.

Jiang Yanzhi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the long message on his phone.

Perhaps she herself didn't even realize it.

In the short two days they spent together, she had never been so caring, patient, or talkative with him before.

What acquisition deal? What a tiring back-and-forth trip.

They might even proactively let you know they're safe.

There was no news from him all afternoon; I never imagined he would worry.

After a long silence, Jiang Yanzhi turned back to his desk, lit a cigarette from the pack, took a deep drag to calm his agitation, and began replying to messages.

—Location: I want to see you tonight.

After sending the message, the other end quickly responded with "Typing..."

However, there was no reply for a long time.

Just as Jiang Yanzhi's patience was about to run out, his phone vibrated.

—Then I'll tell you something honestly, but don't be angry.

He's angry. What could possibly make someone as carefree as her worry about him getting angry?

The answer is ready to come out.

He knew, of course, that Shen Xianyu had come to Z City.

They even made plans to go to Fengming Mountain in a few days to observe the stars.

how?

Now the two of them have gone to the countryside to "collect folk songs" ahead of time?

Jiang Yanzhi's fierce expression was impossible to suppress.

He made a video call.

This time, Tang Wanwan accepted.

As soon as the call connected, she whispered, "Shen Xianyu is here too. I only found out he was coming halfway here, so I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would misunderstand. Don't overthink it. It's not just the two of us; there are more than a dozen people traveling with us, including Fu Jingbai and Gu Yunyi."

Voila.

She knew everything; she knew what he cared about most.

In a few words, he explained why he did it.

Unfortunately, she wouldn't choose to confess unless absolutely necessary.

Her attitude towards him was to keep things from him as much as possible.

If he hadn't decided to go there that night...

She will keep it a secret forever.

Jiang Yanzhi took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress his anger and pain, and forced a smile. "Send me your location, and you'll have to explain it to me in person."

Word by word.

Even his laughter carried a hint of gritted teeth.

Tang Wanwan was startled and quickly sent him her location, saying, "Then I'll explain everything to you properly when you get here."

Who wouldn't say "good boy/girl"?

Jiang Yanzhi glanced at her and, for the first time, took the initiative to end the call with her.

Tang Wanwan was genuinely flustered.

She thought for a moment and then sent another message: "Bring me a set of art supplies."

Jiang Yanzhi had already gotten into the car. He glanced at the message, didn't hesitate, turned the steering wheel, and floored the accelerator.

As night fell in the city center, a black Mercedes-Benz G-Class sped out like an arrow.

Ancient town.

When Qian Qinglei and Xu Yang returned from their walk, they saw Tang Wanwan with a distressed expression and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"..." Tang Wanwan paused for a moment, but ultimately didn't dare to say anything because her boyfriend was coming over, and she felt a little guilty and breathless.

Dinner was served in the farmhouse courtyard.

There were four tables in total.

The two young masters from the capital were not used to dining with a large group of people, so there were only six people at the table, including Xu Yang.

The wine on the table is homemade rice wine.

Tang Wanwan and Qian Qinglei, both girls, had been drinking before, and everyone present was an acquaintance. It was a rare treat to taste authentic farm-style food, so neither of them wanted to miss it.

The rice wine is sweet and even easier to drink than wine.

Tang Wanwan drank three cups in a row. When she drank the fourth cup, Shen Xianyu, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, grabbed her wrist.

"Don't overindulge in alcohol; you can drink again tomorrow if you like."

Thanks to Fu Jingbai's occasional taunts, Shen Xianyu had learned to be more discreet. He originally didn't want to get involved, but he realized that if no one was watching the girl, she would probably finish the whole pot of wine.

This homemade rice wine looks smooth and easy to drink, but it actually has a strong aftereffect.

She's just starting to drink, and she can easily get completely drunk without realizing it.

Tang Wanwan was indeed feeling somewhat dizzy.

She rested her chin on her hand, looked at the person who was trying to stop her from drinking, obediently let go of their hand, and nodded, "Then I won't drink."

The voice was soft and gentle.

She seems to be a girl with a very good temper, completely lacking the aloofness and distance she exudes during the day.

Gu Yunyi was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "So well-behaved when drunk?"
