Chapter 30: Substitute Lover 8



Jian Yuyan is an extremely smart, sensitive and meticulous person. If there is something unusual about others, he will be able to notice it quickly, not to mention that this is Jian Yuer, whose every move can affect him.

Jian Yuer would never lie, her attitude was too obvious. A stiff refusal and an evasive excuse to leave were enough for Jian Yuyan to understand the whole story in an instant.

She knows.

The thing that Jian Yuyan used to fear and worry about the most was Yu'er discovering his thoughts, but now Jian Yuyan realized that what he feared most was not being known, but Yu'er's attitude after she knew his thoughts.

Yu'er was avoiding him, rejecting him, and refusing him.

The result that he had not dared to touch for many years finally had an answer, and this answer instantly put Jian Yuyan on death row.

Along the way, even breathing was a little difficult. Dusk was falling at this moment. Jian Yuyan was glad that no one could see his gray face, and no one could see how ugly his lifeless peach blossom eyes looked at the moment.

The Plum Garden was still brightly lit at night, except for Yan Yiming's place, which was unusually quiet. A beautiful woman was sitting at the table in a daze, and her expression suddenly became panicked when she saw his figure.

There could only be one reason why Jian Yuer discovered this, and that was Yan Yiming. Yan Yiming's expression at this moment told him that this was indeed the case.

Even though Jian Yuyan knew that Yan Yiming did not mean it and that Yan Yiming was not at fault in this matter because she did not even know who Yu'er was, but perhaps because her heart was hurting too much and she needed an outlet, Jian Yuyan still could not help but vent her anger.

Why can't you just stay here quietly? Why do you have to appear in front of Yu'er by chance? Why do you have to destroy his last bit of hope!

"Where did you go today?" Jian Yuyan's usually gentle voice was a little hoarse. He seemed calm, but every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, which made people feel scared.

Yan Yiming's face was pale, probably because he had been crying. His eyes were red and swollen. He seemed a little afraid to look Jian Yuyan in the eye and whispered, "I went to Fuyu Mountain..."

Fuyu Mountain, Fuyu Mountain is really a magical place. Jian Yuyan suddenly couldn't help but laugh. Miss Yan also discovered a big drama on Fuyu Mountain back then, and today it is his turn.

The maidservants around Yan Yiming were a little confused. They couldn't understand why the girl went to Fuyu Mountain and came back so nervous. Mr. Jian's words were also incomprehensible. And what were the intentions of this lady and that lady?

I couldn't help but complain, "Didn't the master say that he didn't have time to accompany our girl and asked her to go out for a walk by herself? Besides, our girl is here for..."

"go out!"

Jian Yuyan and Yan Yiming spoke at the same time. Yan Yiming grabbed Jian Yuyan's sleeve and said hurriedly, "Master Yan... I just felt a little bored staying here and wanted to go to Fuyu Temple to worship the Buddha. I really didn't expect to meet that lady..."

Jian Yuyan approached Yan Yiming with red eyes, "Didn't expect it?"

This sentence of "I didn't expect it" has completely cut off my hopes! What’s the use of saying now that I didn’t expect it!

Jian Yuyan suddenly grabbed Yan Yiming's wrist and dragged him straight to the bed. Yan Yiming staggered and fell on the bed. Before he could get up, Jian Yuyan pressed down on him fiercely.

With his hands pressed firmly on the bed and his legs firmly fixed, Yan Yiming could not move. He froze for a moment as if frightened, then began to struggle violently.

But at this moment, Jian Yuyan was like a madman who had lost his mind. The more Yan Yiming struggled, the more Jian Yuyan refused to let go. The strength in his hands became stronger and stronger, and his lips and teeth bit Yan Yiming's lips fiercely without any rules. Yan Yiming turned his face away in pain, but Jian Yuyan held his chin and bit him again.

The clothes, which were not tight to begin with, became even more messy due to the unrhythmic friction. The belt was pulled away by Jian Yuyan, and the woman's fair collarbone and neck were exposed in front of him, with red marks of varying depths left on them.

His lips and tongue moved on the woman's naked back until they touched a scar. Jian Yuyan then stopped and his eyes seemed to slowly regain clarity.

It was clearly a beautiful butterfly bone and waistline, but there were intricate scars left on the fair and delicate skin. Jian Yuyan recognized that they were marks left by a whip.

Jian Yuyan suddenly remembered that Yan Yiming once talked about how he almost lost his life when he was a child because of running away, and the scars that would never be erased.

Jian Yuyan froze. He lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Yiming, who buried his face in his hands and sobbed softly. His heart began to ache.

What he just did.

What did Ming do wrong again?

Jian Yuyan loosened his left hand that was holding down Yan Yiming's hands, and the fingertips of his right hand slowly fell on Yan Yiming's scar. Yan Yiming trembled slightly but said nothing.

From the very beginning, he was the one who provoked her and treated her as Yu'er's substitute. She clearly knew everything but said nothing. Jian Yuyan suddenly woke up and in an instant saw the blue marks on Yan Yiming's wrist where he had grabbed him, the red marks on his waist and his swollen eyes.

As if something was stuck in his throat, Jian Yuyan opened his mouth and wanted to say something but couldn't. After a long time, he asked her with a trembling voice, "Does it still hurt?"

Yan Yiming buried his face in the pillow and said muffledly, "It doesn't hurt."

Jian Yuyan reached out and gently turned the sobbing person over, holding her hand that was about to cover her eyes, leaned over and held her in his arms, slowly stroking her back. After a long time, he felt that the person in his arms had finally calmed down, and then he said with a guilty voice, "I'm sorry."

Yan Yiming's body stiffened for a moment, and his clear eyes met Jian Yuyan's, with a sadness he had never seen before. She said, you must not be willing to touch her at all.

You definitely wouldn't be willing to touch her in the slightest, but you're willing to hurt her in the slightest for her.

Jian Yuyan just hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones. "Never again," Jian Yuyan said after a long time.

"But you still like her."

Jian Yuyan closed his eyes and placed his lips behind Yan Yiming's ear. "No, I only like you."

Xiao Pingguo quietly reminded Yan Yiming in his ear that Jian Yuyan's favorability had increased again. Yan Yiming drooped his eyelashes and rolled out of Jian Yuyan's arms.

Jian Yuyan looked at Yan Yiming's back and knew that Yan Yiming would never believe such words, after all, he himself did not believe them.

But it was not entirely false, because when Yan Yiming left his arms he couldn't help feeling lost, and when Yan Yiming was sad he couldn't stop feeling heartbroken. He really liked her, and he didn't lie to her when he said this.

When Yan Yiming woke up the next day, Jian Yuyan was gone. Just as Yan Yiming was about to say something, he felt a sharp pain on his lips.

Yan Yiming hissed, and Xiao Pingguo asked her carefully, "Host, are you okay?"

"Not bad," Yan Yiming curled his lips, "It's actually lighter than I thought."

Little Apple still felt a little scared when she recalled it. She really couldn't imagine that such behavior would happen to Jian Yuyan, who had the best temper. However... Little Apple couldn't help but be curious, so she still asked shamefully, "Then why didn't Jian Yuyan do it to the end?"

"He didn't intend to do it in the first place, he just wanted to vent, after all, his psychological defenses were completely broken," Yan Yiming said, "Even if he really did it one day, it wouldn't be in this situation. This kind of thing would probably only happen to Nangong Xuan."

Comparing Jian Yuyan and Nangong Xuan, Xiao Pingguo nodded in agreement.

The two talked for a while, and suddenly Xiaopingguo said "Huh", and Yan Yiming asked casually, "What's wrong?"

"Jian Yuyan returned home to do some work, and ran into Jian Yuer."

If it weren't for the important matter today, Jian Yuyan would definitely not have come back, but now that he is back, he happens to run into Jian Yuer again.

Jian Yuer came back in a daze yesterday and was frightened by Jian Yuyan again. After she calmed down slowly at night, she figured out a lot of things, such as why Jian Yuyan didn't allow her to get too close to Nangong Xuan, and why she disliked Jiang Yi so much now.

She used to think that Jian Yuyan, as her brother, was too controlling, but now that she understood Jian Yuyan's thoughts, everything became clear.

This fact made Jian Yuer very flustered and she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

After thinking about it all night, he finally mustered up the courage to talk to Jian Yuyan the next day, but he didn't expect to run into Jian Yuyan who had just returned home.

Jian Yuyan was still wearing the same robe he wore yesterday, and he had clearly just returned from outside. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Jian Yuer seemed to smell a faint sweet scent.

Jian Yuer's eyes suddenly widened, and she blurted out, "Where did my brother go last night?" without caring about what she was ashamed to say.

Jian Yuyan really didn't expect to meet Jian Yuer as soon as he came back. Thinking of Jian Yuer's alienation yesterday, Jian Yuyan's eyes dimmed slightly. He didn't answer but asked Jian Yuer with a somewhat cold expression, "Yuer, is there something wrong?"

Jian Yuer opened her mouth, a little dazed.

Shouldn't it be that my brother has a lot to explain to me? Shouldn't he explain clearly why he was with... with a woman who looked so much like her, and why he didn't return home yesterday. Did he go there again?

That woman looked so much like herself, and her brother had been out all night for so many days. What did it mean for Jian Yuer to not come home all night? Whenever Jian Yuer thought of this, she felt ashamed and humiliated. Now seeing that Jian Yuyan didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, Jian Yuer suddenly felt aggrieved and angry.

She confirmed with a trembling voice, "You...you went to that...that actor again!"

Jian Yuyan couldn't help but frown. Jian Yuer called Yan Yiming an actor, which made him a little unhappy. "She is not an ordinary actor," Jian Yuyan said. He really didn't feel like talking to Jian Yuer about this. He still needed to change clothes and go to the East Palace. "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Jian Yu'er grabbed Jian Yuyan's sleeve in a hurry, but then she let go as if she had thought of something. Jian Yuyan saw this and suddenly felt an unprecedented fatigue. He finally turned around and looked at Jian Yu'er and said, "Now you are avoiding me and are surrounded by wolves and tigers. Is it because I am your brother?"

Jian Yuer didn't expect Jian Yuyan to ask so directly. She looked around anxiously and embarrassedly. When she didn't see him, she asked, "Isn't this enough?"

"What if I'm not?"

"What... is not..."

"What if I'm not your biological brother?" Jian Yuyan looked at her steadily and asked in a deep voice.

How could it not be? Jian Yuer didn't understand. Facing Jian Yuyan's pointed gaze, she didn't have time to think too much and said, "No matter what, Yuer only treats you as a brother."

Jian Yuyan laughed silently. He actually still had a little fantasy. He had to hear such words to completely get rid of all the thoughts in his heart.

Now, I have finally given up.

"Brother..." Jian Yu'er called Jian Yuyan timidly, "Brother, did you go to see her again yesterday?"

Jian Yuyan lowered his eyes, "This matter has nothing to do with Yu'er."

"But..." Jian Yu'er was stunned, "But brother promised me that he would not have any contact with those people anymore."

"There are no such people, only her," Jian Yuyan said slowly.

"A Ming is not what you think. It's getting late. His Highness and I have something important to discuss. If Yu Er has nothing else to do, go and do it."

After saying that, he strode away without looking at Jian Yuer, leaving Jian Yuer standing there with a shocked look on her face.

In just a few words, my brother defended the actor twice!

Ah...Amin? This familiar name made Jian Yuer's heart tremble uncontrollably, and she suddenly remembered the red mole at the corner of the woman's eye that day. Only now did she realize that the position of the mole was exactly the same as the red mole at the end of Yan Yiming's eye.

Jian Yuer took a deep breath and shook her head to clear the mess in her head.

After all, that woman looked too much like her, and she didn't know what others would think if they saw her. She had to think of a way to get her brother away from that actor as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.
