Chapter 4 The manor is very white, very upturned, and looks very soft…
There is an idiom that describes human beings seeking their own death, which is called digging one's own grave.
Tian Ruan felt that he had already dug up a handful of soil from the grave, and Yu Jingmo was his Luoyang shovel. If he was not satisfied, he would dig the soil into the pit with his shovel and turn it into a grave.
"Who does he like?" Yu Jingmo glanced at Yu Shang, his emotions undetectable.
Yu Shang was quite calm for his age and said, "I don't have any."
Yu Jingmo easily grasped Tian Ruan's thin shoulders with one hand, "I'm talking to your little dad."
Yu Shang: “…”
Tian Ruan felt a chill down his spine, but his muscles were stiff and he couldn't avoid it. He didn't dare to face Yu Jingmo, so he could only turn his head and stare at the cake, "I was just kidding."
Yu Jingmo: "So you are spreading rumors and slandering our son for having a premature love relationship?"
Tian Ruan: “…”
The word "we" is too ambiguous.
Where else are there rumors and slander? In the original novel, the love between the top and bottom protagonists was vigorous, heart-wrenching, and heart-breaking... But now, nothing has happened yet, and the top and bottom protagonists have at most some interactions.
"Why are you in a daze? Can't you tell a lie?" Yu Jingmo turned Tian Ruan's face over and pinched the young man's soft and white face with his fingertips.
Tian Ruan was forced to raise his face. Yu Jingmo's fingers pressed on his cheeks like a pair of pliers, causing his rosy mouth to pout slightly. His dark brown pupils glared at the man in front of him with shame and anger.
After a moment of stalemate, Yu Jingmo let him go and lowered his eyes, which were as black as ink, "Is this all you want to eat?"
"?"
"Eat something. There's no midnight snack at home."
"Oh." Tian Ruan looked around and saw waiters coming in one after another and serving food to each table.
The food was exquisite and small in quantity. Except for the younger ones, most of the guests were more interested in drinks. They sat or stood, chatting and laughing.
Yu Jingmo raised his hand, and seven or eight waiters stood respectfully by his side. He casually picked three dishes and a soup for Tian Ruan - stir-fried seasonal vegetables, blanched asparagus, baby cabbage in soup, and winter melon meatball soup.
Tian Ruan's mouth was watering as he looked at the whole piece of braised pork on the waiter's plate.
Yu Ti glanced at him and said, "Uncle, you are too plain."
Yu Jingmo: "You can't eat too much oil at night, it's hard to digest."
Tian Ruan: "I can digest it."
The waiter placed the braised pork in front of Yu Ti, and she said with a smile, "Little uncle, please have a small piece."
Tian Ruan was about to say thank you when she heard Yu Jingmo's cold and deep voice hitting her eardrums: "No."
"Why?" Tian Ruan was dissatisfied and looked up at him.
Yu Jingmo glared at him, "Because I am your legal husband and half your guardian."
“…”
"Yu Shang, watch him." Yu Jingmo said.
Although Yu Shang was not happy, he still said "hmm".
Yu Jingmo walked away and continued to negotiate with business partners.
The three of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn. Yu Jingmo is a man of his word, and both Yu Shang and Yu Ti know this. If anyone disobeys his orders, something terrible will happen.
Yu Ti silently moved the braised pork a little further away, and simply brought it to her own table, "Uncle, enjoy your meal."
Tian Ruan: “…”
Yu Shang did not leave. He conscientiously carried out his father's instructions and watched Tian Ruan eat.
Tian Ruan didn't dislike the food, it was much better than what he ate in the school cafeteria, but the feeling of being controlled was not very good.
On the other side, Yu Jingmo looked over here and saw Tian Ruan eating, looking as obedient as a kitten.
"...Mr. Yu?" a boss called him.
Yu Jingmo came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Sorry, we were just talking about investment in water conservancy projects in Africa. I think this is an opportunity to open the door to international business."
Several business tycoons were discussing a business worth billions of dollars. A man with a fashionable bob rubbed his hands and walked over to the bigwigs with a bitter face, "Mr. Yu, I don't know what happened to the clothes in the dressing room. Some of them fell to the ground outside the hotel, and some of them got tangled..."
Yu Jingmo said succinctly: "Ask my assistant and ask the finance department to reimburse you."
The man with the noodle head immediately smiled and said, "Okay!" Those are clothes that can be sold for tens of thousands each, and he can't lose money on them.
"Then please pick out a few sets that will suit my wife according to her size."
The noodle-head was so happy that his teeth were showing. "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, I will design a few more sets for your wife. I guarantee they will look good."
A middle-aged CEO smiled and said, “Boss Yu really dotes on your wife.”
Yu Jingmo didn't comment. He just saw Tian Yuan coming to his house with little luggage, so he prepared a few more clothes for him. The word "pamper" was overused. He still couldn't learn the flattery in the business world.
…
The wedding banquet lasted until ten o'clock in the evening. The guests dispersed one after another, and the Yu family's table was also cleared.
Yu Jingmo took Tian Ruan to the stretched car, leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.
Tian Ruan asked: "Are you tired?"
Yu Jingmo opened his eyes and looked at him.
Tian Ruan tried not to seem to be serious: "If you are tired, go back and rest early."
Yu Jingmo guessed it right at once: "Your subtext is, don't do anything to you?"
Tian Ruan: “…”
"What do you think I'm going to do to you?"
Tian Ruan gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Yu is definitely not a promiscuous person."
The driver almost couldn't hold back his laughter, he couldn't laugh or he would lose his job.
Yu Jingmo calmly asked back, "Are you a messy person?"
Tian Ruan felt a sense of crisis, "Of course I'm not."
Yu Jingmo: "That's good."
Tian Ruan's scalp tingled as she tried hard to recall the original plot. Yu Jingmo had indeed never touched Tian Yuan and was cold and distant towards him. After they got married, he just married a vase and brought it home to be displayed for outsiders to see.
Because of this, Tian Yuan became dissatisfied and could only seek excitement from outside. Drinking and fighting were just trivial matters, and he lost millions playing mahjong alone. Yu Jingmo paid it all off for him. He never treated Tian Yuan unfairly in terms of money and material things.
A marriage with only money but no feelings is destined to become a mess and eventually fall apart.
When Tian Ruan watched, he was still thinking, if it were him, he would not ask for Yu Jingmo's love. Wouldn't it be better to give him money? Tian Yuan could have improved himself by reading and traveling, but he chose the worst path and died in the struggle among wealthy families at a young age.
"Alas..." Tian Ruan sighed.
Yu Jingmo: "You are so young, why are you sighing?"
Tian Ruan straightened her back and said, "I got married at a young age." As she said that, she glanced at Yu Jingmo and almost wrote five big words on her forehead: An old cow eats young grass.
Yu Jingmo was not surprised or moved, "Yeah."
Tian Ruan punched the air.
Half an hour later, the car drove into an upscale villa area built on the mountain.
Suzhou City is located in a plain, and there is not much land near mountains and rivers, especially in the urban area, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. The Yu family occupies the most advantageous location on this small hill, a private manor.
From the manor, one can enjoy a large mountain view, and from below one can overlook the villa area and a small part of the city, which shows the status of the Yu family.
Two cars drove into the parking lot of the manor one after another. Tian Ruan got out of the back seat and caught a glimpse of Yu Shang getting out of the car behind him. The other party walked up and said to Yu Jingmo, "Dad, I'm going to sleep first."
Yu Jingmo: "Go ahead."
Yu Shang did not enter the main house, but went to the annex on the side, which was slightly lower than the main house.
The original book wrote that Yu Shang was adopted by Yu Jingmo when he was ten years old. One was a workaholic and the other had to go to school, so they had almost no chance to meet except for dinner. Until Yu Shang grew up, his father-son relationship with Yu Jingmo was ordinary.
Tian Ruan watched Yu Shang walk into the annex room, thinking that the fact that they lived so far away from each other might be one of the reasons why their relationship could not improve.
"Come here." Yu Jingmo walked into the main house.
Tian Ruan hesitated for two seconds, not understanding the situation. He didn't dare to run now, so he followed reluctantly.
This manor is one of the properties purchased by Yu Jingmo after he took power in the Yu family. He would stay here whenever he was in the country or not on a business trip. Therefore, the manor is full of life.
With a housekeeper and seven or eight servants, the household is not large in number and they manage the household in an orderly manner.
As soon as Tian Ruan entered the room, he saw a pair of festive paper-cuts with double happiness. A middle-aged maid was looking at him with a smile on her face. "I wish you a happy marriage, sir and madam, and may you be together forever."
Tian Ruan was shocked. Was she calling him "Madam"?
Yu Jingmo: "Go ask Lao Wang for a red envelope."
Hearing this, the servants came over in a hurry, and words like "a perfect match made in heaven", "a happy marriage", "a harmonious relationship", and even "a baby soon" popped up.
Yu Jingmo listened calmly, without any emotion, but seeing Tian Ruan's expression change from ignorance to shock and then to shame, he couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Everyone got a red envelope."
"Thank you, Mr. Yu!"
"Don't you have anything to say?" Yu Jingmo asked Tian Ruan.
Tian Ruan: “…” Wanted to curse.
Seeing that he was speechless, Yu Jingmo said, "Madam is shy."
The servants burst into laughter.
Tian Ruan didn't want to stay in this "happy" atmosphere, so she turned her head and glared at Yu Jingmo.
Yu Jingmo understood and took him upstairs.
Tian Ruan was glad to escape from the wedding celebrations, but then he arrived at the door of the new house and hesitated.
This bedroom is very spacious. In addition to necessities such as a bed and wardrobe, it is also connected to a small balcony. The bathroom and study are integrated. Although there are not many decorations, it can be seen that the soft furnishings are all new, including the crystal ceiling lights on the ceiling, which are all sparkling and spotless.
The only thing that can be called festive is that the two pillows are covered with bright red mandarin duck pillowcases.
Yu Jingmo walked in and looked back at Tian Ruan, "Come in."
Tian Ruan kept convincing himself with the plot of the original novel, walked in, and stared at Yu Jingmo.
Yu Jingmo walked towards him.
"What?" Tian Ruan immediately took a defensive stance and covered his chest.
Yu Jingmo's eyebrows were slightly raised. His already handsome face was like a mountain. His angular jawline looked even more three-dimensional under the shadow of the crystal lamp, and his pair of phoenix eyes also seemed to contain a hint of spring.
Tian Ruan looked at him blankly, with the scent of red wine and sandalwood belonging to Yu Jingmo lingering at his nose.
Yu Jingmo's eyelashes drooped, and fell on Tian Ruan's snow-white and slender wrist, which seemed to be whiter than the mutton-fat jade on the beads, "...You should keep this bracelet well."
Tian Ruan came back to his senses, "Oh."
"Have a good rest." Yu Jingmo walked out the door.
"?" Tian Ruan asked, "You don't want to sleep here?"
Yu Jingmo turned his head from the outside of the door, his sharp profile like an ancient Greek statue, "You want me to sleep here?"
"No." Tian Ruan answered immediately.
Yu Jingmo was amused by his straightforwardness. Without saying anything else, he reached out and closed the door.
Tian Ruan heaved a sigh of relief and turned to face the festive big bed. Unable to bear it any longer, he took off the entire set of two pillows, folded them and placed them on the bedside table.
When he touched the soft silk quilt, Tian Ruan's heart wavered. He was very tired now, and escaping would require strength.
It’s better to get some sleep first.
Tian Ruan went to the bathroom. There were brand new bathrobes and toiletries in the cabinet. He took them out and put them away, took a simple shower, and came out wrapped in a bathrobe.
He opened the wardrobe and saw a few old clothes hanging inside. Tian Ruan judged that they must have belonged to his original owner and he would not wear them.
...Wait, is he really the original body?
This question had actually been on his mind for a day, and he had to figure it out.
There may be two identical faces in the world, but the markings on their bodies will not be exactly the same, unless they are cloned.
Tian Ruan looked at the full-length mirror between the wardrobe and the door. His face was exactly the same as in his memory. Did he travel through the book and enter Tian Yuan's body, or did he replace Tian Yuan?
Tian Ruan hoped it was the latter, so that he wouldn't have so many concerns and awkwardness.
The only mark on my body is a small mole on the tip of my butt... I'm not wearing any underwear right now...
Tian Ruan took a deep breath, stood in front of the full-length mirror, slowly turned around, turned his back to the mirror and lifted up his bathrobe, revealing two white clouds——
On the right tip of the buttock, there is a small mole standing out prominently.
Tian Ruan's heart was filled with emotions. It was really his body, not Tian Yuan. When he came to this world, he only replaced Tian Yuan's identity, not his body.
Tian Ruan touched his mole and was so moved that he almost burst into tears. God felt sorry for his early death and gave him this life. He must live!
With a click, the door opened.
Yu Jingmo held a cup of warm milk and looked into Tian Ruan's eyes. Then he saw Tian Ruan sticking her butt out. The two clouds were very white, very upturned, and looked very soft...
“………………”
“………………”
Yu Jingmo was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you looking at flowers in the mirror?"
