Past life marriage
Fu Huaiying lowered her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression at the moment. "He is quite clever. He was able to calculate that I would accept his gift, and he also guessed that I would come to see him today."
"Girl..." Dahu's voice was a little hesitant. She was not sure whether Fu Huaiying was happy or unhappy now, but she inexplicably felt that the girl did not look happy.
Fortunately, Fu Huaiying didn't say much, but just walked inside. Dahu led her into a side room, closed the door for them, and stood guard outside.
Lin Yan'an leaned against the window, his hands spread out on both sides, looking contented. Seeing Fu Huaiying come in, he immediately stood up, straightened his clothes, and said with a smile: "Sister Huaiying, you are here, please sit down."
Fu Huaiying walked over, sat down opposite him, and looked him straight in the eye. "What do you mean, young marquis?"
"What are you talking about, sister? I don't understand."
Fu Huaiying casually turned the teacup in her hand, her fair and slender fingers looking particularly bright on the dark green teacup.
"I never like to beat around the bush when talking to intelligent people. The first time I met you, you knew I couldn't eat peanuts. The second time, you already knew all my preferences. This third time, today, you not only knew I couldn't travel and had no one to help me, but you even knew I would come to you. What does the young marquis want from me? Or rather, what do you want me to do for you?"
Lin Yan'an moved closer to her, reached out and took the teacup from her hand, poured out the cold tea inside, added a hot cup for her, and handed it to her, "Sister, why are you so suspicious of me? Can't I be kind to you sincerely and without expecting anything in return?"
Fu Huaiying didn't take the cup of tea. She lifted Lin Yan'an's chin with her slender fingertips and softened her eyes. "How dare I doubt the young marquis? I'm just curious about how he knows me so well."
Lin Yan'an raised his head slightly in her hand. From this angle, he could see Fu Huaiying's soft eyebrows and the coldness in her eyes. He suddenly remembered that someone in his previous life advised him that Fu Huaiying was heartless and would never learn to love, so he couldn't hang himself on a tree.
At that time, he thought those people were jealous of him for having such a gentle and considerate wife, and they were all coveting Huaiying. But after Huaiying left, he found that his wife was completely different from his impression. He only hated himself as an unqualified husband and did not discover the pain and hatred hidden under her gentle face earlier. If he had known earlier... would Huaiying not have died?
"Perhaps you believe in past lives and present lives?"
Fu Huaiying put his face down, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and chuckled: "I believe it, of course I believe it. Who knows, maybe the young marquis and I are destined to be together in our previous life?"
Seeing her expression, Lin Yan'an probably thought he was a fool. He sighed helplessly, "Sister, you might not believe me, but I went to a temple a while ago, and the old monk there told me that the first woman I see in a place with water will be my only wife in this life."
Fu Huaiying raised her eyebrows. "You mean, I was the first woman you saw on the cruise ship?"
Lin Yan'an stood up, walked over to Fu Huaiying, and slowly leaned down, supporting his hands on either side of her. He was very close to her, his eyes full of her rosy lips. Although he was looking down at her in an oppressive manner, his voice was a little pitiful. "Yes, so Sister Huaiying, can you have some pity on me?"
Fu Huaiying saw him getting closer and closer, but she had no intention of hiding. Seeing that beautiful face stop at her lips, without any more inappropriate moves, she raised her hand and gently stroked his face, "You still haven't told me why you know me so well."
Lin Yan'an stared at her lips. "Didn't my sister also say that we were destined to be together in our previous lives? We've been husband and wife for a lifetime. Naturally, I understand you better than anyone else, don't I?"
Fu Huaiying pushed him away and stood up. "Since the young marquis is unwilling to be honest with me, there is nothing more to say today."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lin Yanan lost his patience and stepped forward, holding Fu Huaiying's hand. "I didn't lie to you. I don't know why, but I inexplicably understand you so well. I did it subconsciously. Sister... please believe me."
Fu Huaiying turned around and saw that his beautiful eyes were almost filled with tears. She lowered her eyes and gently wiped his tears with her hand. "What good is it for me to trust you?"
"I... From now on, sister, you can order me around as you please. If sister tells me to go east, I will never go west. If sister tells me to pour tea, I will never add water... Sister Huaiying... I'm serious, please have pity on me..."
"It sounds very tempting," Fu Huaiying stroked the corner of his eyes, and Lin Yan'an saw a hint of joy in her cold eyes, "But... pie in the sky always makes people particularly worried."
Lin Yanan stood up straight and gently took her hand, "Sister... I don't have anything to gain, as long as... as long as you trust me and come to see me occasionally, that's enough."
Fu Huaiying's face turned a little strange. She felt that his words were getting weirder and weirder the more she listened to them. It sounded like she was keeping a mistress.
When Fu Huaiying came out, Dahu was almost asleep. He was thinking about changing to a beautiful girl as his master. She didn't sleep well last night, and now she could fall asleep while standing.
"Are you sleepy?"
Da Hu saw her come out and quickly shook his head, "Not sleepy, not sleepy."
Fu Huaiying chuckled, "Let's go. I don't have anything to do today anyway. You can go back to the carriage and take a nap."
"Girl...I'm not sleepy..."
Fu Huaiying pulled her into the carriage and said, "If you get sleepy on the way and can't drive well, I'll be scared. It's better for you to get enough sleep now so that you can drive better later."
Da Hu reluctantly agreed to her request and slept comfortably in the carriage.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Fu Huaiying picked up a book from her sleeve and read it carefully, but she heard someone knocking on the carriage twice. She raised her hand to lift the curtain and saw the person coming. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
Lin Yan'an leaned against the car and looked at her with a smile, "Sister Huaiying, where is Dahu?"
Fu Huaiying put down the book and pointed, "She's asleep. I just saw that she didn't seem to sleep well last night. I'm afraid that I'll get dizzy from the car ride later, so I let her sleep for a while."
"You're so nice to her."
"By the way, why would she, a nice girl, choose such a random name?"
Lin Yanan's cheeks flushed slightly. "Well... I'm not very good at naming... and her brother is called Dalong, so I thought... let her be called Dahu. She likes this name very much. If her sister doesn't like it, then we can change it."
Fu Huaiying shook her head. "Since she likes it, then don't change it."
Lin Yanan jumped onto the carriage and said, "Since no one is driving for you, I will be the driver today."
Fu Huaiying wanted to refuse, as he would be too conspicuous sitting in the front driving the carriage. But before she could open her mouth, the carriage had already moved forward. She could only sigh and let him go.
Wen Chuyan went out and saw Lin Yan'an helping Fu Huaiying get off the carriage. The cold wind blew past, and her drooping hair stuck to her forehead. Lin Yan'an raised his hand to stroke her hair. She had a smile in the corner of her eyes and did not seem to resist.
The stinging pain in his palm brought Wen Chuyan back to his senses, his eyes dark and unclear. He had always known that Huaiying didn't like physical contact with others, especially not being touched on the face. That was why he had never crossed the line in all these years. But this Lin Yan'an had only known her for a few days? Why was he so intimate with her?
Wen Chuyan suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and stepped forward. "Young Marquis Lin, my aunt went up the mountain today and used all the carriages in the house. I'd like to trouble you to take Huaiying back. I will come to thank you when I have the chance in the future."
After all, Lin Yan'an had lived two lives. How could he not understand Wen Chuyan's implication? Wasn't it just to classify him as an outsider? However, since Wen Chuyan liked being a big brother so much, then let him be a big brother forever.
"It's not a bother, it's my duty. Sister Huaiying doesn't have a carriage when she goes out on weekdays, so I gave this carriage to Sister Huaiying. I hope Brother Chuyan doesn't mind."
Wen Chuyan's eyebrows twitched slightly. What did he mean? Did he have to make Huaiying accept his favor?
"No reward without merit. I didn't think it through on weekdays. From now on, Huaiying will naturally use my carriage when traveling. As for this carriage, the young marquis should take it back."
"Brother Chuyan, Sister Huaiying is old enough to make her own decisions. Besides, I can't return something I insist on giving her. Brother Chuyan, just think of it as something I forced on you."
After Lin Yanan finished speaking, he turned and left without giving Wen Chuyan a chance to reply.
Da Hu got off the carriage with sleepy eyes, "Girl... I'm awake... Shall we go back?"
Fu Huaiying found her sleeping like this and thought it was a little cute. She smiled and said, "Look, where is this?"
“Eh??!!”
Seeing her confusion, Fu Huaiying explained, "Today, your master is the groom."
Hearing this, Wen Chuyan clenched his palms even tighter. He had felt that Lin Yan'an had bad intentions a few days ago, and since he kept telling traps, he became even more annoyed with him. Today, Huaiying accepted his gift again, and Wen Chuyan could no longer ignore it.
"Huai Ying, favors are hard to repay. You and the young marquis... after all, there's a difference between men and women. How can you keep accepting his favor?"
Fu Huaiying lowered her eyes and the smile on her face disappeared. She never liked other people's preaching. Before, Wen Chuyan protected her in front of Wen Shuangye in the mansion and brought her some things every time he came back. That's when she started to have some feelings for this brother who had no blood relationship with her. But when he came back this time, he became different from before.
"Don't you often give me things, brother?"
“This is different!”
Fu Huaiying raised her eyes and looked him straight in the eye. "What's the difference?"
"I'm your brother... naturally..."
Before he could finish his words, Fu Huaiying interrupted him, "Brother, you are the eldest lady's nephew, and you are actually not related to me by blood. You are so kind to me, how can I repay you?"
Wen Chuyan was silent for a moment, "I have always treated you as my own sister. Why should siblings repay each other? It seems strange..."
Da Hu was a perceptive person. He saw that Fu Huaiying didn't want to talk anymore, so he stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's windy outside. Go inside to avoid catching a cold."
Fu Huaiying was silent, glanced at Wen Chuyan, and walked around him to enter. She could see that Wen Chuyan liked her, but he didn't dare to speak up. He only cared about her through the non-blood-related brother and sister relationship. Since he didn't dare to speak up, she would just keep it to herself.
Wen Chuyan opened his mouth but said nothing. He liked her, but the conflict between her and his aunt had been going on for a long time. At least... at least he could only speak after his aunt accepted her and they could get along peacefully.
