Yandu.
Yan Yuan had just returned from Jinchi Garden when she opened the door and saw the man standing by the window inside. He was tall and slender, dressed in a black robe with his hood half-covered, revealing a handsome face as elegant as bamboo and jade branches. Under the lamplight, he had the air of a graceful phoenix.
Hearing the noise, the man turned around and smiled slightly.
“Yuanyuan”.
Indeed, the visitor was none other than Wang Yizhi, the sixth son of the Yan family, who had long resided in the southwest.
When Yan Yuan saw his dapper attire, she subconsciously curled her lip and asked, "What brings you here?"
Wang Yizhi glanced at the open door, slowly walked over, slammed the door shut, turned around, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her.
Yan Yuan was terrified and hurriedly pushed him away, shouting angrily, "What are you doing in broad daylight?"
He grabbed her hand, lifted her up and pinned her to the armchair, then lowered his head and bit her lip hard.
"She used you and then left. Yuan Yuan is so heartless."
Yan Yuan looked at his fierce expression, unafraid, his eyes filled with arrogant arrogance, and said, "Wasn't that something you did willingly?"
He chuckled, "Yes, I'm willing to let you trample on me."
"Then get out of here."
She kicked him in the chest without hesitation.
Wang Yizhi raised an eyebrow, grabbed her calf, wrapped his arms around her waist, and enveloped her in black mist.
Yan Yuan can be quite a handful sometimes. Despite her appearance, she always acts like a little wolfhound, acting cute and crying all the time. But when she gets fierce, she can be really scary.
Judging from his current state, I have no idea what triggered him.
"What are you doing here? Are you upset that your mother isn't coming to bother me?"
Wang Yizhi's eyes were clear, and looking at her face was like looking at a ladle of sweet wine. "If you marry me, she definitely won't cause you any trouble."
Yan Yuan scoffed, "I'm married."
"My third brother doesn't like you, and he doesn't protect you."
"---"
She was furious and kicked him again, "You little brat, can't you talk? Shut up."
Wang Yizhi snorted, buried his face in her neck, and grinned innocently, "You seduced me."
Yan Yuan was displeased, "Why don't you just say you're driven by lust?"
“But I haven’t even slept with you yet.” He felt wronged as he said this, kissing and licking her neck, and whispering, “My third brother is a womanizer, why are you keeping yourself pure for him?”
She slapped him hard across the chest and pushed him away forcefully.
"Get out of the way."
Wang Yizhi, seemingly oblivious to pain, nestled in the crook of her neck and murmured in a muffled voice.
"---"
Yan Yuan took a bite of his mouth, and thinking of their entanglement over the past few years, she suddenly felt a burning sensation on her cheeks.
She was proud and arrogant at the time, but after marrying Wang San, she was constantly neglected by him. In a moment of confusion, she seduced him.
Yandu is located in the Zhongdu area, with a mild climate. Jinchi Garden features artificial mountains and flowing water, flower bridges and corridors, strange pines and rocks, and pavilions and towers stretching endlessly.
When she came out, she bumped into a flowering tree under the artificial hill. She sat down to rest under a strange rock and met him drinking behind the artificial hill.
He pretended to be polite and gentle, so she went up to him and started talking. When they got excited, she even grabbed the wine jar and drank it. She got drunk and acted crazy in front of him, even hooking her chin and teasing him, pestering him to kiss her.
To be honest, she didn't really intend to have anything with him. After she came to her senses, she kept avoiding him, but he was really stubborn and insisted that she take responsibility. His mother saw the two of them arguing and pulling each other several times.
She was the daughter of the Lanling Yan clan and could not do anything to bring shame to her family. She made up her mind to break up with him and said many hurtful things. Later, he stopped looking for her and went to the southwest. For some reason, he suddenly came back recently.
Why are you back?
Wang Yizhi looked up, his eyes crinkling into slits with a smile, "Third Brother was looking for me, so I came back."
Yan Yuan felt a little guilty. "What did he want with you?"
"I don't know, but---"
He drew out his words, his dark eyes fixed on her, and a smile played on his lips.
She saw through his intention, straightened up, and lightly touched his lips.
"It seems he found a woman in Yangxia, Yuanyuan. Do you think it's the Xie family's young lady who's back?"
Yan Yuan was startled, feeling a burning pain in her chest. Then, a large chunk of ice smashed down on her, the raging ice shards pouring in and filling her heart, which was riddled with holes, slowly leaving it numb and exhausted.
It's like a block of ice; you can't warm it up no matter what you do.
"Yuanyuan, don't be sad. You like Third Brother, so I'll go kill that girl, okay?"
He bent down, very close to her, and spoke to her with a wide smile.
Yan Yuan snapped out of her daze and punched him in the chest. "You want your third brother to kill you?"
"It's okay, as long as you're happy." He paused, then added, "Third Brother has always been kind to me and Awan, he won't kill me, don't worry."
Yan Yuan curled her lip, "Am I really that unscrupulous?"
"Yes, I have."
"---"
She was furious. "Get out!"
Wang Yizhi didn't move, but grabbed her cheeks and leaned down to kiss and nibble on them deeply.
Yan Yuan was annoyed by his constant attempts to take advantage of her, so she reached out to kick him, but he was so strong that he held her down tightly.
Enraged, she slapped him across the face.
The sound of a snap echoed sharply in the empty room.
Yan Yuan was surprised that he didn't dodge and slapped him squarely across the face, leaving him stunned for a moment.
A breeze blew in through the window, and the surrounding air fell into an eerie silence.
Wang Yizhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his dark eyes fixed on her, looking at her calmly, it was hard to tell whether he was angry or not.
Seeing his frightening appearance, her hand holding the armchair trembled slightly, but she pretended to be calm and said, "You're hurting me."
He paused, loosened his grip slightly, then lifted her up and placed her on the table behind him, before leaning down to kiss her tenderly.
Does it hurt?
"---"
Yan Yuan was at a loss for words. In their previous interactions, she could tell that this person was not a good person. However, he was too obedient to her, which made her more and more arrogant and domineering.
"Don't be like this. My marriage to your third brother is an arranged marriage between our families. There's no way it could have a future with you. Your mother keeps urging you to get married. You can't keep putting it off. Find a girl to marry."
Wang Yizhi raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled innocently at her, "Haven't I already married someone?"
"---"
Yan Yuan knew what he meant; he was referring to the time when he went to the Yan family to fetch the bride on behalf of his brother. Yan Yuan felt even more annoyed.
His face hardened. "You slapped me, and I haven't even said anything yet. Why are you making such a miserable face?"
"Who gave you permission to lay a hand on me?"
"Ouch~"
He buried his face in the crook of her neck, swaying back and forth.
Yan Yuan was speechless. Her family always talked about how amazing this person was in the Southwest, but she couldn't see it at all.
"Get out of the way, I'll find you some medicine."
He grinned broadly, "Yuan Yuan still loves me the most."
