Chapter 75 Song Shaoyue (7) He was extremely jealous
When Wen Yao saw Yan Huinan's calm face, he felt threatened for the first time. A strong threat. When Wen Yao first met Yan Huinan, he didn't think much of it. Because Wen Yao was a wealthy and imperial merchant, he was already a top-tier businessman, rich, powerful, and free.
Most people in this world pale in comparison to Wen Yao.
So when they first met, no matter what kind of royal noble Yan Huinan was, it would not hinder him, nor would it make him envious or feel threatened.
His only guesses were just his guesses. He just had to take precautions.
Just like when he was doing business, high risk means high reward. No big business is completely safe. But if you foresee the risk, will you not do the business?
No, just be prepared.
This was Wen Yao’s original idea.
But now, his feelings have changed.
The Yan Huinan in front of him clearly looked like a weak patient. His face was not pale, but more like a gentle and sickly pale-faced scholar. His behavior was also non-aggressive, and he had a mature and steady temperament with a weak temperament.
But Yan Huinan's appearance was truly unique. Wen Yao had seen many merchants from other regions, and only those of foreign descent had such high noses and deep eye sockets. Yan Huinan's features were different from those of other people, but his features were still exquisitely three-dimensional. Wen Yao didn't deny that if he were a woman, being stared at by such eyes, he would either feel a frantic throbbing or an overwhelming sense of nervousness.
Wen Yao felt as if Yan Huinan's powerful gaze were pinning him to the spot, unable to move. For the first time, he felt nervous and afraid.
He had initially suspected that Yan Huinan was looking for Xie Yun, and he had actually appeared here. As a man, he keenly knew that this person would be a threat to him. He now had a very strong bad premonition.
But Wen Yao wasn't bad either. In fact, compared to Yan Huinan's face, Wen Yao's facial features weren't as sharp, but his facial lines were smooth, with thick eyebrows and a pair of clear puppy eyes. When he smiled, he had the childishness and spirit unique to a teenager, innocent and sincere.
Now, this usually docile puppy, occasionally playful around Xie Yun, had its fur standing on end in alarm. If Wen Yao were truly a puppy, he'd probably be charging at Yan Huinan with all four limbs bared, ready to bite him.
Of course, Yan Huinan recognized Wen Yao immediately.
The man who hugged Xie Yun on the mountain path and called her "wife".
Yan Huinan immediately put away the gentle smile that was as bright as a peach blossom when facing Xie Yun, and looked at the young man in front of him coldly and carefully.
Logically, if this person were in a different setting and placed in front of Yan Huinan, he might look at him with a higher regard. If he was in the army, Yan Huinan might even admire him.
But compared with the life chapter that Yan Huinan has experienced, judging from his life experience, Wen Yao is far from being a threat to him.
However, Yan Huinan thought, why did he feel that the young man in front of him was difficult to deal with?
The next moment, he saw the cold Xie Yun out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Perhaps it was because Xie Yun's gaze had transformed when it landed on this young man. It was a kind of intimacy and concern that he hadn't seen in many years.
This is a very simple and easy to think of truth.
Anyone who wins Xie Yun's favor will be far superior to Yan Huinan, who was once so majestic and powerful on the battlefield, and Yan Huinan will lose miserably.
But now, it’s not the end of the war yet, right?
And that was Xie Yun...
How to make him let go easily?
Especially when Yan Huinan saw Wen Yao, he knew that he would never be able to accept Xie Yun falling in love with someone else.
In the end, it was Yan Huinan who first retracted the hostility in his gaze.
The more times like this, the more he had to keep himself calm. He tried hard to suppress the bitterness in his heart and tried not to think about what happened between Xie Yun and this young man.
If he thought about it too much, he thought he would go crazy.
and……
Even if there really was something going on between them, Yan Huinan didn't mind at this point. He had no experience in stealing other people's love, and he never cared about taking what others loved. He only wanted what was his.
But if it was Xie Yun, he would be willing to do so.
Yan Huinan's scrutinizing gaze shifted seamlessly to a tolerant smile. "I didn't expect to see this young man here... This young man. My name is Yan Li. You didn't tell me your name last time. I think I wasn't polite enough. Are you willing to tell me now?"
After saying that, Yan Huinan cast a thoughtful look at Xie Yun.
Since she said she didn't know him, she wouldn't expose his lies.
He also wanted to see how Xie Yun would react.
Xie Yun couldn't help but feel surprised and suspicious, but she didn't show it on the surface.
The Yan Huinan in her impression would not do this.
From the little bully of the capital to the general who has the final say, there are countless people waiting to flatter him, but he is always arrogant and never takes the initiative to show goodwill to others.
But now... the Yan Huinan she met today had changed so much that she didn't know what had happened for a moment?
She was confused and curious.
But I didn't care.
She just hoped that Yan Huinan would leave here as soon as possible and not disturb her life.
Wen Yao calmed himself down and did not answer Yan Huinan's question immediately.
Instead, he walked to Xie Yun's side first, gently placed a hand on Xie Yun's shoulder, looked at her with a smile in his eyes, then looked up at Yan Huinan and replied, "Wen Yao."
A flash of surprise flashed through Yan Huinan's mind, "So it's the young master of the Wen family..."
Wen family.
It turned out to be his home.
Every spring, during the annual tribute period, the Wen family, a Jiangnan imperial merchant family, would present silks and satins to the imperial court. Their fabrics were exceptionally fine and comfortable, highly sought after by those within and outside the imperial palace. From the court robes of officials to the clothing of the wealthy families in the capital, all came from the Wen family.
Yan Huinan had also heard of it.
However, it was not Wen Yao who went to pay tribute every year, so Yan Huinan never met him.
The small Wen family is nothing to be afraid of.
But... Yan Huinan looked at Wen Yao's hand on Xie Yun's shoulder.
For the first time, I clearly felt the bitterness in my heart, which was called jealousy.
His other hand, which was not extended, was hidden in his sleeve, and he couldn't help but clench it tighter and tighter. He didn't care about the pain in his knuckles, and even pinched his thumb on the middle joint of his index finger, where he felt a clear and sharp pain, as if a dagger had stabbed into his knuckles and broken the finger.
But he felt that the tighter the better, only the pain could restrain his inner urge to rush over and break Wen Yao's hand.
He was extremely jealous and wanted to kick Wen Yao to the ground. He also wanted to walk over and pull Xie Yun into his arms, kiss her against the wall-high medicine cabinet next to him, grab every inch of warmth and fragrance from her body, and explore her completely.
Once this idea took root, it grew wildly like a dead tree in spring. Yan Huinan was almost going crazy from suppressing it, his heart aching and almost bursting, and he even had a brief tinnitus.
The voices of the people around him seemed to be separated by water, somewhat distant yet strangely amplified. Wen Yao smiled and said, "Exactly."
Someone in the queue behind me started to urge them on, "What's going on up front? Why is it taking so long?!"
"Yeah, are you still going to see a doctor?"
Wen Yao took the initiative to walk to the side to comfort the people behind.
Xie Yun also followed her rough judgment and prescribed some mild medicine for Yan Huinan to treat the cold. "Go over there and get the medicine according to the prescription. The people behind are waiting."
As for his other illnesses, it is difficult to easily determine the exact cause without asking.
Xie Yun didn't want to ask.
He has so many imperial doctors in the capital, so why would he come here specifically to see her?
It's impossible to imagine.
And he just concealed his identity, maybe he came here to do business.
Unfortunately, they met again.
In a very unexpected way.
People outside said that he was looking for his wife, but it was clearly him who ordered the mountain to be set on fire.
He knew she was on the mountain, but he showed no mercy.
What are you looking for now?
Hadn't he assumed she was dead?
Or maybe he was looking for another lady.
In short, none of it had anything to do with her. Their fate had long ago ended in that fire.
When Yan Huinan heard her words, he said "hmm" in a deep voice, then slowly stood up and went to get medicine nearby under the guidance of the medicine boy.
Wen Yao turned around and called out to Yan Huinan, "Brother Yan, I haven't introduced you formally yet."
Yan Huinan turned around and looked at Wen Yao:?
Wen Yao was standing two steps away from him. In a voice neither too loud nor too soft, he said to Yan Huinan, "The person treating you is my wife. We met outside the city in a hurry, but it was fate. I'll waive the consultation fee and medicine fee today. I'll consider this as making friends with you."
Yan Huinan's ears were so tinnitus-filled that he could hardly hear Wen Yao's voice, as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in his ears.
His head is in a mess.
Xie Yun, if I act like an out-of-control madman here and make a scene, I’ll destroy your place.
Will you dislike my recklessness, will you blame me for being tyrannical?
His whole body of blood felt like it had been doused with ice water, making it so cold that it made him shiver.
Yan Huinan's gaze fell on Xie Yun. Finally, just like when he was about to spit out blood from his chest, he suppressed his anger and all his bad emotions and said calmly, "No need."
He doesn't want to make this friend either.
It turns out that if you truly love someone, you won't sincerely wish them happiness. Just seeing someone else trying to possess you makes your heart ache like a million ants gnawing at you. You'll only be driven mad with jealousy, because no one in this world loves you more than I do. And because I can't live in a world where you love others more than you love me. Unless I don't have to live anymore.
But even if he died, he couldn't die in front of Xie Yun.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a threat of death?
Xie Yun wouldn't like him like this.
He finally managed to muster up the strength to walk over, trying to put on a generous and calm smile, trying not to scare Xie Yun or put pressure on her. He slowly raised his hand and said, "Boss Yun, your medical skills are excellent, and the plaster is also very effective."
He hopes that his Xie Yun can always do what she likes.
But he still hoped that he could be her support and participate in her life.
