A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 9 Pure Love
There were three of them coming up, and there were three coming down.

The elevator slowly descended.

A tender kiss completely restored Shen Xianyu's mood, and she was no longer sensitive and suspicious.

He looked at Jiang Yanzhi and asked, "I haven't seen you much all summer. How many days are you planning to stay in Beijing this time?"

"I don't know yet," Jiang Yanzhi said indifferently. "I might have to go to Z City again."

He seemed a little drunk, leaning half his body lazily against the wall, head down, fiddling with his car keys, his voice languid.

Beneath the dark gray shirt, his shoulders and back were thin and slender. Shedding his intimidating aura, he actually looked somewhat like a young man.

"So busy, huh?"

Shen Xianyu smiled and reminded him, "The one in the south of the city will open in a few days. Remember to make time so we can all get together."

"Okay." Jiang Yanzhi agreed without hesitation.

Tang Wanwan suddenly remembered the brief dream she had on the plane.

As the heir to the Jiang Group, Jiang Yanzhi began to be involved in the family business when he was in high school.

During his university years, he had already taken over a branch of the Jiang family business.

Before the appearance of the 'female supporting character', he was a calm and rational career-oriented, aloof and unapproachable woman.

A true prodigy.

The only setback he suffered was probably in his relationship with the 'supporting female character'.

Five times.

Every single time, it was the 'female supporting character' who initiated the breakup.

She ruthlessly and decisively dumped him, then waved to him, and he actually turned around.

He could be dumped once, twice, but not three times, yet he was dumped five times.

No wonder he eventually lost interest in love and women, closed his heart off love, and returned to his career-oriented mindset, becoming a cold and ruthless work machine, until his destined heroine appeared and reopened his heart.

Tsk…

Tang Wanwan had a toothache.

Her storyline is really offensive.

Not only will they offend Jiang Yanzhi, but they will also offend Shen Xianyu.

After all, it would be embarrassing for Young Master Shen if word got out that his girlfriend was with his best friend.

But it's alright, so be it.

At worst, she can finish this job, go back to Z City, and never show her face in front of them again.

A 'ding' sound.

The elevator door opens.

The designated driver was already waiting at the entrance of the club.

Jiang Yanzhi opened the trunk, took out Tang Wanwan's suitcase, and his gaze naturally swept over her.

Under the cover of night, Tang Wanwan couldn't see his expression clearly, but she heard him greet Shen Xianyu before getting into his car and leaving.

Whether it was the cool evening breeze or the departure of the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill," Tang Wanwan could clearly feel the warmth in her body gradually fading away.

……Yes.

She has always been somewhat sensitive to the cold.

But today, an unexpected event occurred, giving her a taste of what health truly means.

Another evening breeze blew by, and Tang Wanwan shivered, instinctively pulling her coat tighter around herself.

"Are you cold?" Shen Xianyu frowned and took her hand. "Let's go home right away."

He had been drinking and couldn't hold the steering wheel; he had just given the keys to the designated driver.

Soon, the dark gray G-Class stopped in front of them. Shen Xianyu opened the back door and pulled Tang Wanwan into the car.

Perhaps the effects of those two glasses of red wine were still lingering, as Tang Wanwan's mind was a little foggy.

As soon as I got on the bus, I leaned back in my seat.

"Is anything bothering you?" Shen Xianyu looked down at her face, concerned. "Are you just too tired?"

Tang Wanwan shook her head and muttered softly, "I just want to take a nap, don't bother me."

"Okay, I won't bother you."

Shen Xianyu couldn't bear to scold her.

Seeing that she was shaking her head from side to side, unable to find a comfortable position, he reached out and lifted her chin, letting her rest it on his shoulder.

Inside the closed car, the girl's unique sweet fragrance kept wafting into his heart, carrying wisps of alcohol. Shen Xianyu hadn't drunk much, but he felt like he was a little drunk.

He swallowed hard and whispered, "Wanwan, do you want me to hold you while you sleep? ... That way you'll be more comfortable." Tang Wanwan didn't speak, resting her head on his shoulder, her breathing soft and gentle.

—If she doesn't speak, then he'll take it as a yes.

Thinking this, Shen Xianyu reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, carefully pulling her into his embrace.

They've known each other since they were little, but he's never really hugged her properly more than a few times.

This was the first time I had held a sleeping little girl so tenderly in my arms.

Shen Xianyu stared unblinkingly at the girl nestled against his chest, his heart completely melting.

Because her head was tilted to the side, her lips were slightly pouting, and the lips he had kissed so carefully were flushed.

Shen Xianyu watched for a while, his eyes gradually darkening.

He raised his hand and gently touched her lips.

Then, he slowly lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

Gentle and beautiful.

In the driver's cab, the driver, who was focused on driving, glanced at this scene while looking in the rearview mirror and quickly looked away.

I was greatly surprised.

As a dedicated chauffeur for upscale clubs, I serve wealthy and powerful clients. These rich people appear impeccably dressed on the outside, but in reality, they indulge in all sorts of extravagant lifestyles.

It's utterly disgusting.

...I never expected to meet someone who plays the pure love game today.

The car stopped in less than half an hour.

Shen Xianyu looked down, wondering if he should wake the girl in his arms, but Tang Wanwan woke up first.

She opened her eyes groggily and saw his magnified face. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening and pushed him away to sit up.

"Shen Xianyu!"

“I’m here,” Shen Xianyu smiled and explained, “I was worried you wouldn’t sleep comfortably and would complain about your neck hurting again later.”

Tang Wanwan pursed her lips, said nothing, opened the car door and got out.

The driver had already left, leaving only the two of them in the empty basement.

Shen Xianyu pulled her toward the elevator, coaxing her along the way. Seeing that her annoyance seemed genuine, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Wanwan,"

He said, "Given our relationship, a hug is nothing."

In Shen Xianyu's view, they had already reached a mutual understanding and recognized each other as their future partners.

At this moment, he was even reflecting on whether he had been too restrained before, which was why she was so concerned about even a hug.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wanwan's body stiffened.

For a moment, I really wanted to break up with him.

She had already come up with a reason.

She told him that she had fallen in love with Jiang Yanzhi at first sight and that it was because of this that she realized her feelings for him were not romantic love.

So what if we met early?

Stories of a child falling from the sky and defeating their childhood sweetheart are commonplace.

She wanted to overturn their past completely.

They do not acknowledge that the feelings between them are love.

Now, she has found a guy she's truly attracted to, so she's breaking up with him and not wanting to be with him anymore.

Tang Wanwan understood the situation clearly and didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking that way.

Despite mentally preparing herself, she still couldn't bring herself to say the words.

In fact, she loved Shen Xianyu.

She likes him.

I never imagined that one day I would hurt Shen Xianyu.

If it weren't for her health, she would never have been willing to leave him.

But how could he possibly like someone else?

"Let's wait a little longer," Tang Wanwan thought.

Some decisions, once made, can cause damage that is difficult to predict.

At the very least, he should be given some preparation.
