Chapter 31: Diablo 28

The next day after arriving at school, Tang Wan quickly discovered that the topic of conversation between Lu Rongrong and Yun Nuan had completely become Lu Yi.

Lu Rongrong also seemed to notice that Yun Nuan was interested in her brother and immediately said teasingly:

“Yun Nuan, if you become my sister-in-law someday, I’d honestly be super happy! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you!”

The moment she heard this, Yun Nuan’s face instantly turned red.

“Rongrong!” she lightly scolded in embarrassment.

“Hahaha! What’s there to be shy about? Rather than letting some random outsider marry into our family, I’d much rather have you become my sister-in-law!” Lu Rongrong whispered mischievously.

Listening to the two of them, Tang Wan couldn’t help sighing emotionally in her heart.

The male and female leads really did have an overpowered wingman helping them along.

No wonder their relationship progressed so smoothly.

Still...

None of it had anything to do with her.

...

In the blink of an eye, the weekend arrived.

On Saturday morning, Tang Wan slept in before getting up and saying to Tang Yitong:

“Tongtong, let’s go shopping today.”

“Okay,” Tang Yitong nodded.

Since Lao Li still worked at the Tang family residence, the two had to take a taxi into the city center.

After arriving, Tang Wan directly dragged Tang Yitong into a men’s clothing store and quickly selected several outfits for him.

Seeing this, Tang Yitong immediately said:

“You don’t need to buy me clothes...”

“Why not? Clothes make the man! Since you’re Tang Wan’s younger brother, of course you need to dress properly! Don’t worry, your sister has money!” Tang Wan replied proudly.

Then she turned toward the salesperson.

“This set... and this one too... pack them.”

“These shoes... and these as well... pack everything.”

After paying with her card, Tang Wan directly said to the employee:

“Send these to this address by five o’clock this afternoon.”

“Certainly! Please rest assured—we’ll deliver them on time!” the salesperson quickly replied.

Afterward, Tang Wan brought Tang Yitong to eat a luxurious meal, specifically choosing the most expensive places.

And she even explained it with complete seriousness:

“Taste has to be cultivated from a young age. Otherwise, when you attend important occasions in the future, you’ll end up looking timid!”

What Tang Wan didn’t know was that Tang Yitong’s awkward and cautious behavior inside luxury stores had all been an act.

To him, products were simply objects.

Whether he could afford them or not didn’t matter.

Why should someone feel inferior just because their wallet was empty?

But...

Tang Wan always looked genuinely distressed and regretful whenever she saw him acting timid.

And Tang Yitong loved the way she cared about him so much.

...

What Tang Wan didn’t expect, however, was that she would run into the heroine and Lu Rongrong at the restaurant.

Tang Wan had no intention of interacting too much with the heroine.

So after merely nodding toward Yun Nuan, she directly brought Tang Yitong into a private room.

Seeing this, Lu Rongrong immediately snorted coldly.

“What’s with her attitude? She just nodded at us and left!”

Meanwhile, Lu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly while watching the direction Tang Wan had disappeared toward.

For some reason, he felt that the girl possessed a graceful maturity completely unsuited for her age.

“Rongrong, do you know her?” Lu Yi asked.

“Yeah. She’s Tang Wan. She’s Yun Nuan’s deskmate. But it’s seriously strange that she actually brought Tang Yitong here for dinner. Isn’t she planning to order a bunch of food and then leave Tang Yitong here behind or something?”

Lu Rongrong had clearly heard plenty of stories about Tang Wan bullying Tang Yitong before.

When Yun Nuan heard Lu Yi asking about Tang Wan, she quickly defended her:

“No, she’s not that kind of person.”

“Hmph! She totally is that kind of person. Stop defending her! Brother, let’s go upstairs already—I’m starving!”

Lu Yi smiled softly and nodded indulgently.

“Alright. Let’s go upstairs.”

...

Meanwhile, from the moment Lu Yi appeared, Tang Yitong had been secretly observing Tang Wan.

Seeing that she didn’t stare at Lu Yi this time—and had only casually nodded toward Yun Nuan and Lu Rongrong before leaving—Tang Yitong quietly relaxed inside.
