When Jian Yuyan woke up, the bed curtains were still drawn. He lifted them with his fingers, and a ray of light shone in. It was already bright outside.
Yan Yiming was not around at the moment. He was bathing behind the screen as the water dripped. After a while, Yan Yiming came out while twisting his hair with a towel. When he saw Jian Yuyan, he smiled and said, "Are you awake?"
Jian Yuyan took the cloth from her hand and motioned for her to sit in front of the mirror box, "Let me do it."
Yan Yiming sat down obediently.
Jian Yuyan's movements were very gentle. He wrapped the towel around his long hair and slowly absorbed the moisture. "Why did you wake up so early?"
"I don't know how I woke up." Yan Yiming looked at the figure in the bronze mirror and squinted his eyes comfortably. "But I don't have anything to do. If I feel tired later, I will just go back to sleep."
Having said this, he opened his eyes and glanced at Jian Yuyan again and said, "It's already 9:00 p.m., and you don't even go back home to change clothes."
"Someone will deliver it soon," Jian Yuyan said nonchalantly. Yan Yiming's hair was already half dry and draped smoothly behind his back. Jian Yuyan put down the towel and hugged Yan Yiming from behind, whispering in her ear, "Why did you lie to me?"
Yan Yiming pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth. "I'm lying to you."
Jian Yuyan knew that Yan Yiming said this on purpose and laughed when he heard it.
At the beginning, she said that she was no longer a virgin, but in fact, she was still virgin. Jian Yuyan buried his cheek in Yan Yiming's neck, and after a while, he whispered, "A Ming, I am really happy."
Yan Yiming showed an expression that seemed like a smile, and after a while, he picked up the comb and slowly ran it through his hair and asked in a low voice, "What if I am really not a perfect girl anymore, will Brother Yan be disappointed?"
"No." If he was disappointed, he wouldn't have been able to help touching her yesterday. He just didn't expect such a surprise. Jian Yuyan twisted Yan Yiming's cheek and looked at him. "It's not that important whether it's true or not. What's important is that this person is you. Ah Ming, please don't call me Brother Yan from now on."
Yan Yiming paused, "If not Brother Yan, what should I call you?"
"Call me by my name, Zi'an." Jian Yuyan lowered his head and kissed her. "From now on, only you can call me that."
Yan Yiming stood there as if she hadn't reacted. Jian Yuyan looked at her blank expression and couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong?"
"I dare not call you that," Yan Yiming lowered his head and replied quietly after a long while, "I can call you Master and Brother Yan, but the characters... should be left to the person you will truly spend your life with in the future. I am just an actor."
Jian Yuyan was silent for a long while. He had too many secrets. There were some things that he could not decide on his own. But seeing the disappointment on her face, Jian Yuyan could not bear it and sighed. He pulled her to sit in front of him and said solemnly, "So what if you are an actor? Don't belittle yourself like this. I don't know if there will be someone like that in the future, but now you are the only one who wants me to spend my life with you."
"...What about Miss Jane..."
Ah Ming would never mention Jian Yuer in front of him. Even after she knew about it, she only said that she was willing to stay with him and be his substitute. She never mentioned it not because she didn't care, but because she didn't dare to care.
Jian Yuyan suddenly hated himself for such a long time. He didn't know how long he had hurt Jian Yuer for her.
Fortunately, it is not too late and he still has a chance to make up for it slowly.
Looking directly into Yan Yiming's eyes, he said to her in a serious tone he had never used before, "Jian Yu'er is my sister. She was and will be my sister in the future. Now I like you. It has nothing to do with your appearance. I am not saying this to you because you look like her. In my eyes, you are just you."
Yan Yiming's eyes sparkled, and tears appeared in his beautiful eyes. He grabbed Jian Yuyan's sleeve and said in a deep voice, "Don't make promises easily. I will take it seriously."
"Promises that are made easily are never made easily," Jian Yuyan grabbed her hand and held it in his palm, "I never make promises easily, so you can take it seriously. I won't let you suffer any more injustice because of me."
Looking up and meeting Jian Yuyan's serious gaze, Yan Yiming said nothing. Instead, he buried his cheek in Jian Yuyan's chest as if he was extremely moved.
As long as Jian Yuer exists, she will always feel wronged, Yan Yiming smiled silently. If you say too much, it means incompleteness. However, Jian Yuyan does not seem to understand this.
After Jian Yuer sent someone to give Jian Yuyan a message last night, she had been waiting for Jian Yuyan to come back, but she didn't expect that Jian Yuyan still hadn't come back until late at night.
Was it that the message was not delivered, or was it that the message was delivered but Jian Yuyan didn't want to come back?
Jian Yuer has already invisibly determined the result as the latter.
Jian Yuyan knew that he was waiting, but pretended not to be unaware.
Why are you avoiding her?
But she had clearly asked someone to pass on the message, but her brother still went to that woman. Could it be that she was no match for that woman?
Jian Yuer didn't believe it.
After all, that woman is so similar to me, and my brother likes her because of me. As long as I am around, that person is not surprising. So Jian Yuyan still didn't return home. Was it because of what she said to him at that time? Was her brother just sulking?
This thought made Jian Yuer angry and amused. In fact, she couldn't understand why her brother could be so unreasonable. They were brother and sister, and they shouldn't have such thoughts no matter what. Wasn't it the right thing for her to refuse?
How could my brother be so unreasonable and angry?
But what if her brother asked her that question at the beginning, and if they were not brother and sister?
Jian Yuer has been thinking about this sentence from time to time these past two days. No matter how much she assumes, it still can't change the brother-sister relationship between them. Could it be...
Jian Yuer frowned. Could it be that this sentence really has another meaning?
When she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Jane in the morning, Mrs. Jane saw that her daughter looked absent-minded and asked her what was wrong.
Jian Yuer glanced at her mother and murmured, "Since we were young, people have said that we look alike, but my brother looks like neither father nor mother. He and I are really..."
Mrs. Jian only heard the first half of the sentence and her eyes widened in shock. She stared at her daughter closely, but she didn't expect Jian Yu'er to suddenly stop talking. She seemed to come to her senses and hurriedly explained, "I just mentioned it casually, mother, don't think too much about it."
Jian Yuer told people not to think too much about it, but this topic couldn't help but make people think too much. Some secrets have been buried underground for many years, and very few people know about them, but at this time, some traces were suddenly discovered.
After Jian Yu'er left, Madam Jian hurriedly asked someone to find Prime Minister Jian and then told him what Jian Yu'er had said today.
Jian Xiang was such a smart man that he was sure that his daughter must have known something after hearing it.
Without any further delay, Jian Xiang immediately asked someone to investigate if there was anything unusual about Jian Yuyan and Jian Yuer recently. The spies were very quick and in just half a day they found out that Jian Yuyan had been staying with an actor from Plum Garden every day. What's interesting is that the actor looked very similar to Jian Yuer, and Yuer accidentally ran into this woman a few days ago.
So Yu'er must have known what Jian Yuyan felt for her.
Jian Yuyan could hide his feelings for Jian Yuer from many people, but he had never been able to hide it from Jian Xiang.
When Jian Yuyan was still a child, Jian Xiang saw that Jian Yuyan liked Yu'er very much, and he had this idea in mind. However, reviving the previous dynasty is more difficult than imagined. Nearly twenty years have passed, and we are still not fully prepared.
Now that Jian Yuyan and Jian Yuer have reached the age of marriage, no matter how powerful Prime Minister Jian is, he does not want to delay his daughter. What's more, his daughter has now become a great help in building his power.
So Prime Minister Jian could only sigh that Jian Yuyan and Jian Yu'er were not destined to be together. Now Jian Yuyan could not bear it anymore and found a woman who looked very much like Yu'er. Although Prime Minister Jian thought that this was inappropriate, he had watched Jian Yuyan grow up after all, and he could not bear to get rid of this woman.
I heard that the actress had never performed in a play and was not a famous actress recognized by everyone, so not many people had seen her.
After all, it's just a plaything and can probably be discarded in a few days. Prime Minister Jian doesn't want the "father-son relationship" between him and Jian Yuyan to be ruined because of an actor. As long as Jian Yuyan hides the actor from others and doesn't damage Yu'er's reputation, he can turn a blind eye and pretend to know nothing.
As for Yu'er, I'll find a time to persuade her.
When Jian Yuyan returned to the Jian residence that day, Prime Minister Jian told him about this matter, "No matter how romantic a man is outside, it's not a big deal. But this woman looks too much like Yu'er. It would not be good if someone who recognizes Yu'er saw her. If His Highness likes Yu'er, he would definitely not want to ruin her reputation."
Jian Yuyan's eyes couldn't help but darken a little, and no one could tell what was going on on his face, but he still nodded with a smile on his face.
Prime Minister Jian was relieved at this. He smiled and talked to Jian Yuyan about some romantic things between men. Finally, he said, "She is just an actress. If you really like her, redeem her and find a place to keep her. Plum Garden is a place with too many people and too many eyes. I am not sure if it is safe."
"That's exactly what I was planning," Jian Yuyan smiled and changed the subject by talking about things happening in the court. After Prime Minister Jian started talking about business, he didn't mention the matter again.
The two of them cleared up the matter in a few words, but Jian Xiang condoned it in disguise, so Jian Yuyan simply moved half of his residence to the Plum Garden. As time went by, Jian Yuer's dissatisfaction became more and more serious. She couldn't see Jian Yuyan every day, so she went to find Jian Xiang in anger. Jian Xiang said that Jian Yuyan had his own things to do, so what urgent matter did Yuer have to find him for?
It was really hard for Jian Yuer to say that Jian Yuyan liked her, so she went out with a handkerchief in her hand and went out to find a few young ladies she was on good terms with to relax together.
But she didn't want to leave home but still couldn't escape the stories about Jian Yuyan. Jian Yuyan was known as the number one young master in the capital, and there were countless young ladies who admired him openly or secretly. Together with Jian Yuer, they always mentioned Jian Yuyan from time to time.
At this moment, a woman happened to say sourly that Master Jian seemed to have taken a fancy to an actor in the Plum Garden recently and often took the actor out to play. She had run into them twice recently.
Jian Yuer suddenly became worried.
"I wonder how beautiful she is," someone couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone shook their heads, and the woman just now also shook her head with some regret, "The woman has been covering her face so it's hard to see clearly, but judging from her eyebrows and eyes, she does look a bit like Sister Jian."
All the young ladies started laughing, but they didn't know that in an instant, Jian Yuer's hand hidden in her sleeve almost scratched her palm.
The author has something to say: Regarding the question of whether to sleep or not, it still depends on the character setting and logic. The first time the heroine was a young lady, of course she had to be reserved, but this time she is a kept man so I think sleeping with her is still logical. Mr. Jian is not someone who satisfies a platonic relationship. It is not because the second male protagonist who needs to be conquered is more important than other male protagonists, everything is required by the plot.
As for Xiao Wu, just pull him out for everyone to see. If she flirts with him while conquering other male protagonists, it would be too heartbreaking for him. And no matter what, the heroine still has a bottom line, so everyone can rest assured about this.
