Chapter 319
Yun Wan stepped forward and whispered in Shu Ning Shuang's ear, "Ning Shuang, it's me. I'll take you to rest."
Upon hearing Yun Wan's voice, Shu Ning Shuang grasped Yun Wan's hand tightly as if she had grabbed a lifeline, and used all her strength to prop herself up.
She was very strong, and her grip on Yunwan's hand hurt.
Yun Wan gritted her teeth.
Although she had arrived, she was still at a loss as to how to help Shu Ningshuang.
In her panic, she looked toward the Yun family's seats.
The two families were seated not far apart. Madam Yun was chatting and laughing with her friends and did not notice her. However, Yun Ruiyang's gaze seemed to be following her the whole time. When she turned her head, she met Yun Ruiyang's gaze directly.
Yun Wan looked at him with a pleading look in her eyes.
Yun Ruiyang tightened and loosened his grip on the wine glass, then tightened it again, before finally giving in and walking towards her.
The three of them were already together, and when they left together, no one thought anything was wrong, and they continued chatting and laughing as usual.
At this moment, the distinguished guests were all at the banquet, and the servants of the Prince's mansion were almost all busy at the banquet, leaving the pavilion where the young ladies changed clothes to be quiet.
Yun Ruiyang casually tossed the already delirious Shu Ningshuang onto the bed, then turned and left without a second thought, walking towards Yun Wan: "Wanwan, why did you call me here?"
The woman in bed was already in that state; he already knew it in his heart, but he insisted on asking.
Yun Wan bit her lip: "Cousin, Ning Shuang is my friend, could you... help her?"
"I'll help her?" Yun Ruiyang smiled bitterly. "Wanwan, you know who's in my heart. There's no room for anyone else in my heart."
Meeting Yun Ruiyang's hurt gaze, Yun Wan bit her lip.
She wasn't feeling good about it either.
Yun Ruiyang is her cousin, and he's been so good to her. Now, she's being asked to send a man who has always loved her to her best friend's bed...
But if this matter isn't resolved properly today, it will drag her into it as well.
“Cousin,” Yun Wan lowered her head and took Yun Ruiyang’s hand, “Cousin, I know you have feelings for me. Actually, I was quite shocked when I first found out, but afterwards, I was happy.”
Seeing Yun Ruiyang's eyes light up slightly, Yun Wan continued, "I know how good you are, cousin, but you know I'm married now and I'm not doing well in my husband's family. Ning Shuang was betrayed and is in this state because of me. If you really care about me, please help me this once. I'll repay you however you wish in the future, no matter how you want to. Is that alright?"
Hearing Yun Wan's words, Yun Ruiyang's heart wavered.
Yun Wan is right. Even if the two are not related by blood, they are cousins, so it is impossible for them to become a couple. Yun Wan is so sincere to the woman in bed. As her cousin and someone who likes her, the only thing I can do now is to relieve her worries.
But... I've remained chaste for Yun Wan for so many years...
Just as he was wavering, a soft, delicate body suddenly pressed against his chest.
It is Yunwan.
"Cousin, please, please help me?"
Meeting the gaze of his beloved, Yun Ruiyang's last line of defense crumbled: "Okay."
Yun Wan then smiled.
She was about to back away when Yun Ruiyang hugged her tightly: "Wanwan, no matter what happens in a little while, you're still the only one in my heart. You have to believe me."
"Yes, I believe you."
After holding his beloved tightly for a long while, Yun Ruiyang reluctantly let go of her: "Wanwan, you can go out now."
Don't let this scene taint Wanwan's eyes.
Yun Wan nodded, and before leaving, she didn't forget to give him a lingering look.
She finally turned and left, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
Soon, she could faintly hear familiar sounds coming from inside the room, just like the ones she had heard in the side room.
Yun Wan felt suffocated and couldn't breathe, so she took a few steps outside, wanting to get some fresh air in an open space.
"It was all my oversight. I didn't even notice that Ning Shuang looked unwell. Why did that child run off without saying a word?"
"Madam Shu, don't worry. We're in the Prince's residence, nothing will happen. Let's go find Miss Shu and see if she's alright."
Upon hearing these two voices, Yun Wan's eyes widened suddenly.
These are... the voices of Madam Shu and Yao Susu!
