Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Threat or Confession
In Luoman Manor, Wen Yao received a friend request.
When I clicked it, I saw a line of words written on it: Hello, I am Zhou Yunfang.
She was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment and then clicked yes.
Soon the other party sent a message.
Zhou Yunfang: [I'm sorry, Miss Wen, for being so presumptuous to add you. From the moment we met until now, I've thought a lot about it. I know it's totally inappropriate, but I couldn't resist.]
Zhou Yunfang: [Ever since high school, a girl's image has surfaced in my mind. I have no specific memories of her, but I have a strong feeling about her, as if she were my lover from a past life. I grew up, and so did she. I understood her, and she seemed to understand me. Because of this girl, I'd never considered falling in love, but I began to search for her uncontrollably. But for so many years, nothing came of it. Until today, when I saw you at the mall. The moment I saw you, I knew for sure you were the girl I'd been searching for. I know you're married, and I know my current behavior is crazy and immoral, but I got your contact information from Lu Wan anyway. I'm speaking to you to ask if you feel similarly about me.]
Wen Yao was stunned. She thought carefully and couldn't remember what she was thinking when she wrote Zhou Yunfang, but it was obvious that she gave Zhou Yunfang a very unfavorable setting: he had a crush on a girl named Wen Yao.
But she didn't write a character named Wen Yao, so Zhou Yunfang loved and pursued someone for no reason, just like after losing his memory, he still remembered the lover in the previous life.
If she had not come to this world, Zhou Yunfang might have felt regretful, or he might have felt relieved and thought he was overthinking it, but she came to this world and was seen by him.
Oh my God, Wen Yao felt like she was digging her toes into the ground. It was so embarrassing. Xiao Yunfang was a long time ago. How could she have fantasized about him to this extent? Not only did she write him into the novel, but she also subconsciously set up this kind of setting.
I'm going crazy, so what should I do now?
Wen Yao couldn't figure it out.
But the good news is that she is married now, so if she doesn't want to take responsibility, she can use this as an excuse.
After thinking about it for a long time, she still didn't know how to respond. In the end, she just left it alone and decided to think about it later.
Not long after, Xianyu Le Youyou came to find her, but she wanted to chat with her about gossip.
【Xianyu】: Ahhhh, look at this Yueer CEO, so handsome! ! ! !
【Xianyu】: I saw this on the trending searches. What’s so good about that divorced couple? This couple is the best looking one!!!
【Xianyu】: Mainly because the male lead is good looking!!!
Every sentence was filled with exclamation marks. Wen Yao was going crazy. When she clicked on the picture she sent, she saw her husband, Jiang Yue.
With him was Jiang Chen, one in a bright red miniskirt, the other in a pure white shirt, dressed like a couple, and in all sorts of poses, strolling on the beach, arm in arm, drinking and chatting happily, looking like a perfect beach couple.
[Xianyu]: What do you think? Handsome, right? Very handsome. It’s a pity that the Internet says he is married, which seems like he is having an extramarital affair... It turns out that loyal men are all in our romance novels.
Wen Yao did not reply to Xianyu. She felt angry and upset. She had a feeling of "Look, he is really like this", and she also had an uncontrollable sobbing grief, just like a poor student who knew that his score would be very bad after the college entrance examination, but still collapsed when he received the report card.
It turns out that she also has expectations for him in her heart, and it is so deep...
But, there is no luck, no exceptions.
How could he be walking with Jiang Chen? And why Jiang Chen?
So, this is why Jiang Chen hates her? Because she is now Jiang Yue's wife, making her his love rival?
She didn't know when her eyes became wet. Wen Yao wiped her tears fiercely and thought to herself that she didn't want to be involved in their love game. She didn't care who Jiang Yue was with, and she didn't have to occupy the position of Mrs. Jiang!
Thinking about it, she replied to Zhou Yunfang.
[The Girl Who Can't Make a Wish]: I've been reading your message for a long time and haven't figured out how to reply, but you don't have to feel too guilty. Jiang Yue and I are almost a fake couple, and we are both free.
After sending the message, she felt completely baffled. After all, Zhou Yunfang was just someone she had just met. How could she say such a thing to someone else? Was she trying to tell them that they could be in a relationship?
Just when she felt embarrassed and wanted to withdraw the message, but was hesitant because she was afraid that the other party had seen it, Zhou Yunfang replied.
[Zhou Yunfang]: Are you free today? Can we meet?
Wen Yao was surprised by his straightforwardness. After a little thought, she simply replied "OK" and quickly made an appointment with him.
The sadness brought by Jiang Yue and Jiang Chen seemed to be diluted a little. She took a deep breath, put down her phone and went to the dressing table to put on makeup.
Although she rarely wears makeup and has no intention of going on a date with Zhou Yunfang, she still put on makeup carefully and changed into a nice dress as if it were a ritual.
After getting dressed, I couldn't help but feel a sense of security, as if I were equipped with weapons.
She and Zhou Yunfang had an appointment at 7 o'clock in the evening. She originally wanted to eat a little before going out, but she felt very upset and had no appetite at all, so she simply didn't eat and went out directly.
As a result, as I walked out of the room, I saw Jiang Yue coming in from outside. He was still wearing the clothes in the photo. He looked refreshed and in a good mood.
Wen Yao felt uncomfortable again. She pretended not to see him and walked out.
Jiang Yue stopped her, stared at her, and asked her, "What are you going to do?"
Wen Yao didn't want to talk to him, so she said with a sullen look, "Nothing."
"Going to meet someone?" Jiang Yue asked again.
Wen Yao clutched her handbag in silence. Jiang Yue clearly wasn't going to let her go. He took a step closer and asked, "Who are you going to see?"
Wen Yao pursed her lips and simply said, "Go see Zhou Yunfang."
Jiang Yue's eyes flashed with a sharpness, and he asked her: "Why do you want to see him?"
Wen Yao turned her head away and said unhappily, "This has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Yue didn't care and pressed harder, "Tell me first what you want to see him for."
"I told you it has nothing to do with you." Wen Yao replied indifferently, intending to go against him, and was about to continue walking out.
Jiang Yue stepped in front of her and said forcefully, "Whether it has anything to do with me or not, first answer me what you two are doing together, and who exactly is he based on?"
Wen Yao was driven to the point of being unable to endure it, and angrily replied to him: "It was written based on the prototype of the person I like, and it was also set up that he likes me too, so now I go to meet him, is that okay?"
"You..." Jiang Yue stared at her, his eyes filled with shock and anger. He gritted his teeth for a long time before speaking, "No." He then stated, "You are my wife now."
Wen Yao snorted lightly, "Don't forget that we are just allies. I can do whatever I want." Then she was about to walk out again.
Jiang Yue reached out and grabbed her: "Wen Yao..."
What he wanted to say almost came out of his mouth, but he held it back. He just knew that he could never let her be with someone else like this. He had given up everything, and she was the only thing he was pursuing now.
After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Even if he was written based on the prototype of someone you like, he is not the real him. You are my wife, and he is Lu Wan's cousin. Do you think a relationship like this can last?"
Wen Yao curled her lips, "That's nothing, Lu Wan can marry Jiang Lin."
As she spoke, she tried to break free from him, but he wouldn't let go, which annoyed her. She said impatiently, "What are you going to do? Let go. I told you we're just allies, you have no right to control me!"
"But what if I don't want to be an ally now?" he replied.
Wen Yao was stunned and stared at him blankly.
Jiang Yue grabbed her arm tightly and said through gritted teeth, "I don't want to be an ally. I want to be your husband. And I already am your husband. As long as you are still in this world, you are my wife. Don't even think about developing any relationship with anyone else, and don't even think about me signing this divorce agreement."
Wen Yao regained consciousness after a long time, her face flushed red as she angrily shouted, "Jiang Yue, you're too overbearing! Who do you think you are? Even this world has laws. If you were nicer, we could still talk. If you're going this far, don't blame me for a fight to the death!"
"I'm going too far?" Jiang Yue chuckled helplessly, staring at her with a hint of determination and sadness. "Wen Yao, it's you who gave me a fate that was destined to be unchangeable. I had no hope for love, but it was you who appeared in front of me and made me fall in love with you. And then you told me that you arranged someone you like. That's why I have to ask you, am I just a joke set up by you? Who do you think is more wrong?"
Hearing him say this, Wen Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she became nervous. Then she tilted her head with a look of disdain: "You were just on a date at the beach, and now you're here talking nonsense. I was wondering when you started going all Aquaman, and how come I didn't know?" She grew increasingly angry, glaring at him, "Why don't you go after someone else? Go after Jiang Chen. You probably already know she came to attack me. Why are you doing all this? I didn't stop you two from being together."
"If it weren't for you, would I have gone to so much trouble to find her? She's the one who asked you to meet her at the riverbank!" Jiang Yue released her arm, but said dejectedly and angrily, "I'm just telling you, Jiang Chen comes from your world, knows everything about you, and is hostile to you. She also wants to work with me. You know I'm not a good person. If you insist on being with Zhou Yunfang, your road is destined to be difficult."
Wen Yao, however, had no intention of paying attention to Zhou Yunfang. She focused on the key point and asked, "Are you dating Jiang Chen because she wants to work with you? Did she tell you she was the one?"
Seeing that she no longer cared about Zhou Yunfang, Jiang Yue calmed down a little and replied slowly, "She found me and told me she knew everything, and..."
Looking at her, he said deliberately, "She said she wanted me to be with her so that we could go from being a male and female pair to a supporting couple and get rid of her villain status. To convince me, she suggested that we go on a date for a day and try it out."
Wen Yao sneered angrily: "What a good suggestion! It seems to be more useful than being with me!"
Jiang Yue also smiled, with a hint of cruelty: "Yes, so are you sure you want to go find Zhou Yunfang? I can be sure that I am definitely not the one who wishes you well."
Wen Yao's chest suddenly relaxed, and she felt much more relieved. She replied lightly, "You talk as if you two are so amazing together, but you were filmed right from the start, and everyone on the internet is calling you two adulterers!"
Jiang Yue was calm, yet a bit annoyed: "I hired someone to take the photo. I just need to clarify that she is my younger sister."
Wen Yao was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Why are you taking this photo?"
Jiang Yue pursed his lips and said nothing. After a while, he said, "Let me show you if you care about me at all."
Wen Yao burst out laughing: "Childish."
Jiang Yue looked at her. Judging from her reaction, she had seen those photos of him and Jiang Chen before, but kept it to herself and said nothing. Then, when she said "childish" now, she didn't say it in anger or disdain, but with a smile.
He walked up to her, stared at her and asked, "So, does my 'childishness' bother you at all? Do you reciprocate my feelings or accept my threats?"
Wen Yao turned her head, her smile growing wider, but then she became disappointed again and said in a muffled voice: "Does this matter? It's impossible for us to do this anyway. We are not from the same world."
"Why not? Aren't we in the same world now? Nothing is impossible." Jiang Yue said firmly.
Wen Yao was speechless for a moment. She felt excited and timid at the same time, and she didn't know what to feel.
Jiang Yue grabbed her shoulders and looked at her intently: "Just tell me if you have any feelings for me at all. Even if it means you're against me, you're still going to find that Zhou Yunfang?"
"No, what is this, a threat?" Wen Yao asked him dissatisfiedly.
Jiang Yue pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, then sighed, "It's a confession, but the threat is just... the impotent rage of a loser."
"Who said you failed? Of course you're not a failure." Seeing the frustration in his eyes, she felt distressed and couldn't help but tell the truth: "Zhou Yunfang's name is Xiao Yunfang. He was just the boy I had a crush on in high school. So many years have passed. Even if he stood in front of me in person, I wouldn't feel anything. What's more, he is a fictional character."
Jiang Yue immediately asked her, "Why did you dress like this to meet him?"
He remembered that when she came out to see him, she wanted to just wear a pair of slippers.
Wen Yao muttered, "Aren't you dressed like this to meet Jiang Chen? Just like the governor of Xingzhou set fire and forbade the people to light lamps?"
Jiang Yue laughed: "I'm dressed like this just to take pictures for you. So, did my jealousy trick work? Did it make you a little nervous about me?"
"What a lousy scheme! Your emotional intelligence is truly disappointing!" Wen Yao said unhappily. She lowered her head slightly and whispered, "It's not like I don't have feelings for you, but... we're not from the same world, so I don't think it'll work out, so..."
"Alright, I just want your first words, we'll talk about the rest later." Jiang Yue held her back and said seriously, "Now, contact Zhou Yunfang and cancel the date."
"This..." Wen Yao was a little embarrassed, but she still took out her mobile phone, opened the chat interface with Zhou Yunfang, frowned and tried to think of what to say.
Seeing that she was hesitant to act, Jiang Yue grabbed her phone.
"Hey, give me—"
However, Jiang Yue had already seen the message she had sent to Zhou Yunfang before, and gave her a threatening look.
Wen Yao turned her head away feeling a little guilty, thinking that she was right, they were just a fake couple.
When she turned around, she found him typing and quickly reminded him: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Jiang Yue ignored her and continued typing. When she got worried and leaned over, she found that he had already sent the message.
Wen Yao quickly snatched the phone and looked at it, and was immediately so angry that she almost vomited blood.
The girl who couldn't make a wish: [I'm sorry, I just found out I'm pregnant. He and I may not be together anymore. I'll just pretend I didn't receive any message from you.]
Jiang Yue’s reply…what should people think of her? On the one hand, she said that she and Jiang Yue were a fake couple, and on the other hand, she was pregnant. Is she a normal person?
"You're slandering me. I'm withdrawing my message!" She was about to make her move when Jiang Yue said, "Not only will he not wait for you today, but he'll also give up on you in the future. Isn't that great? Or do you want him to be your backup?"
"You really are..." Wen Yao sighed as she looked at her phone and said helplessly, "Hateful."
Jiang Yue smiled with satisfaction.
Wen Yao then thought of Jiang Chen and asked him, "What's going on with Jiang Chen?"
"Let's talk in the room." Jiang Yue pulled her upstairs and only spoke when they reached the room on the third floor, telling her about Jiang Chen.
After hearing this, Wen Yao slowly said, "The morning light is just beginning to shine."
Jiang Yue asked: "Is this a pen name or an online name?"
"Pen name," Wen Yao replied. "When I was writing novels, I was a rival to someone. But at first, she was better than me, and I wasn't familiar with her. One day, many people commented on my novel and accused me of plagiarizing her. I checked and found that the plots were indeed identical, but I knew for sure I didn't. It was she who copied me, but I made significant changes to the novel. There's no chronological evidence. She has more readers than I do, and our readers argued about it for a long time, but it eventually came to nothing.
"After a while, my next book surpassed hers in performance. We occasionally had conflicts, but they were never serious, so I didn't take it too seriously. But now it seems that she hates me even more than I thought."
Jiang Yue asked: "Are you sure it's the person you're talking about?"
Wen Yao nodded affirmatively: "Yes, her tone and behavior are so similar. Only people in our circle would behave like this. And I have always known that Chen Guangweilu comes from a wealthy family. She is recognized as the one who loves to spend the most money in our circle."
"He's just a small character, don't take it too seriously." Jiang Yue said calmly.
Wen Yao immediately said, "But she went to my novel and scolded me again. It's easy to dodge an open attack, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark."
Jiang Yue scoffed, "Is it easy to dodge a direct attack? Tomorrow you can openly slap her in the face and call her a vixen and a shameless mistress. I guarantee she won't be able to resist."
Wen Yao didn't expect it to be like this and couldn't help laughing.
Yes, Jiang Chen and Jiang Yue released photos today, she can really do this.
However, she would not really go and hit anyone, but it would be okay for her to say a few words secretly online and give the person a taste of his own medicine.
Just as she was planning how to take revenge, Jiang Yue approached her and said, "How about staying here tonight?"
Wen Yao was startled, her face flushing immediately: "You...how is it possible? We are not familiar with each other!"
Jiang Yue frowned and asked, "Not familiar with each other? Aren't we sure we like each other and we're husband and wife? Does that count as not familiar with each other?"
When he said this, Wen Yao was unable to refute for a moment, but she stood up from the sofa without hesitation: "In short, don't even think about it!" After that, she turned around and ran for her life to open the door of the room.
Jiang Yue smiled behind her: "I will still think about it, just wait until you have made up your mind."
Wen Yao rolled her eyes at him, then opened the door and went out.
