His beloved younger sister, whom he raised with such care, was just... just taken away by someone.
Besides feeling unwilling, Helian Chen was also somewhat worried.
My younger sister is a bit of a romantic.
I was almost fooled by Mu Shao before.
Yan He seems more reliable than Mu Shao this time, but men all have their flaws, so who can guarantee that Yan He will be good to his sister for the rest of his life?
"...Brother!"
He Lianyan was moved by her brother's words, but also somewhat speechless.
Will you never change your heart for a lifetime?
Who can guarantee that?
Moreover, even if a promise is made now, it may be changed in the future for various reasons.
As Her Majesty the Empress said, having loved and been happy is enough.
What the future holds, that's a matter for the future.
We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Oh, so you're worried you can't stay together forever, so you might as well not be together at all?
What's the logic behind this?
Even the best relationships need to be carefully nurtured after marriage and the responsibilities of family.
Just like the Empress and the Emperor, their relationship was so good, yet the Empress always paid attention to propriety.
If it weren't for the Emperor's serious illness and the Empress's sudden outburst of emotion, even Helian Yan wouldn't have known that the Empress was so deeply in love with the Emperor!
They show their true colors in crucial moments, and live a simple and ordinary life in ordinary times.
Helian Yan didn't dare to hope for a lifelong, monogamous relationship, but she really liked Yan He and was willing to give it a try.
Their feelings may fade, and they may have concubines or illegitimate children, but the beauty they once shared still remains.
That's enough!
Of course, Helian Yan wouldn't tell her brother these incredibly clear-headed, even somewhat tragic, words.
She earnestly promised, "Brother, don't worry, Yan Shaoqing treats me very well! I will also become an excellent new bride of the Yan family."
Even if things go wrong in the future, I still have you!
"Brother, you won't abandon me, right?"
At this point, Helian Yan looked up at Helian Chen.
Her delicate face, with its distinct Hu ethnic features, was filled with dependence and trust in her older brother.
Helian Chen felt a surge of tenderness in his heart as he looked at his sister who trusted him so much.
Reaching out, Helian Chen gently ruffled Helian Yan's long, brownish-brown, slightly wavy hair, and sighed, "Yes! Your brother will always be Yan's brother!"
He will always protect Ayan!
The brother and sister were on the stairs of the Star-Picking Tower, getting really emotional.
Someone standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor saw this scene and couldn't help but sneer, "Helian Chen, you're a general who just returned from the battlefield, why are you still so lovey-dovey?"
A grown man, yet he's being so sentimental.
Tsk!
As the daughter of a military family, Mu Jialuo was somewhat displeased with it.
"Mu! Jia! Luo!"
Helian Chen didn't even need to look; just by hearing Zhang Yang's voice, he knew who it was.
Apart from that shrew from the Mu family, there was no one else.
In fact, Helian Chen and Mu Jialuo had little interaction.
Just when he returned to Beijing, his scumbag father arranged a marriage for him with Mu Jialuo.
At that time, Mugalo had just broken off the engagement and was criticized as "disloyal" and "selfish and cold-hearted" for it.
Mu Jialuo was also proud and couldn't bear to see herself, a dignified daughter of the Mu family, being gossiped about by idle people in the streets and alleys, so she simply hanged herself.
Fortunately, he was rescued.
It was at this time that the Mu family proposed marriage to the Prince of Guangling, wanting to marry Mu Jialuo to Helian Chen, who had risen to power with the emperor.
Helian Chen: ...
He was very conflicted.
On the one hand, he strongly disliked his scumbag father, and therefore had an instinctive resistance to the candidates his father suggested.
On the other hand, he felt that Mugalo was too "violent"—how could he just commit suicide like that?
For a fierce general like Helian Chen, who had been on the battlefield and experienced the cruel hell, life was extremely precious.
Many soldiers, even with their arms cut off and their stomachs ripped open, still desperately tried to survive.
As a result, a wealthy heiress like Mugalo became so dramatic and threatened suicide over a trivial matter!
Helian Chen looked down on it!
The Empress herself said that in this life, nothing is more important than life and death!
If you're not afraid of death, why be afraid of living?
For many reasons, Helian Chen rejected the marriage proposal.
Originally, Helian Chen and Mu Jialuo would no longer have any connection.
But no one expected that the Empress would select a female attendant and choose Mu Jialuo.
Subsequently, Helian Yan also became the Empress's lady-in-waiting.
My sister and her suspected blind date became "colleagues," and besides work, they also had a rather personal relationship.
However, Helian Chen had already gone to war at that time and did not feel anything.
Now that he's back, while Helian Chen is busy finding fault with his cheap brother-in-law, he suddenly realizes: I've actually crossed paths with that tigress Mu Jialuo again!
This, this—
"unlucky!"
Upon hearing that "tsk," Helian Chen couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Also, did Mugalo know what he said?
What does "腻腻歪歪" mean?
I'm just worried about my younger sister!
Envious? Jealous?
Helian Chen endured it for a while, but finally couldn't hold back and said in a sarcastic tone.
Mu Jialuo laughed in exasperation, her bright face filled with disbelief. "Envy? Jealousy? Helian Chen, who are you talking about?"
"Whoever speaks to me, I'll call them out!"
"Nonsense! That's ridiculous. Me, envious or jealous? Humph, I just pity our Ah Yan. What a lovely young lady, how did she end up with such a fussy brother like you!"
