Chapter 115 [VIP] Lifesaver (2)
When Nan Yan sorted out all the plots in her mind, she was suddenly left with only one absurdity in her mind. It was simply absurd that the male protagonist only loved his savior wholeheartedly.
It is true that the hero was moved by the heroine's life-saving grace, but he was blind and seriously injured while hiding in the woodshed at the time. The heroine deliberately concealed her identity, and the two of them didn't even talk to each other. The only trace of his heart was the heroine's tenderness and care for him.
He was moved by that dreamy figure.
But later, when the male protagonist Jin Lili found Li Nanyan, during the time they were together, he clearly knew what kind of person Li Nanyan was.
I know that she is not smart enough and has a big heart, and she is often bullied and unable to react, so I will take better care of her in secret.
I also know that although she has a bit of a coquettish personality, she is actually a very kind person and never bears grudges.
Wasn't it because Li Nanyan's personality suited his taste that he was attracted to her and decided to marry her?
Why did all his love and affection for her disappear completely after he found out she wasn't his savior?
It's simply inexplicable!
How can this be true?
Can feelings be taken back so easily?
The male protagonist was moved by a life-saving favor, even though he admitted the wrong person to be his benefactor. But if he truly fell in love with another person, could he still admit his mistake?
It was obvious that his daily interactions with Li Nanyan were real, not to mention that they loved each other when they were praying in the temple. Could it be that the incident in the lush peach forest at the foot of the mountain where Jin Lianli took the initiative to kiss her because he was moved was also fake?
He clearly hugged her, kissed her, and even touched her accidentally, completely flirting with this innocent girl. Can he make up for it by just admitting his mistake?
It's really ridiculous. Just because Li Nanyan is not the heroine, even if Jin Xinli was really moved by her, it was just that he had recognized the wrong person, and that feeling was not for her.
Nan Yan thought, maybe the only thing he really loved was the life-saving grace he received that time? That's why he could withdraw from the relationship without hesitation and turn around to marry another person!
At this moment, Nan Yan entered this world at a time when the two of them were already at the stage of discussing marriage.
Half a month ago, Jin Lili directly invited the wife of the Duke to propose marriage. The two of them were officially engaged three days ago, and in another three months, they will be able to get married.
Just on the third day after the two got married, Jin Lili vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
Originally, he thought that since the two of them were already engaged, it would not be rude or offensive for him to bring up the past events, and Nan Yan would not have to hide it anymore.
But when he mentioned the life-saving incident in the farm's woodshed, his fiancée was vague for a long time and couldn't explain it clearly. In the end, she had no choice but to pull his sleeve and said coquettishly: "Hey, the past is the past. The future is the most important thing. Aren't you with me because you like me?"
Jin Li's expression changed slightly, but he didn't show it at all.
He covered it up very well. He had been in the officialdom for many years, so he would not be unaware of this hint. So he quietly tested it again, "Well, you are right. The past is indeed the past."
"But if you hadn't secretly saved my life in the woodshed, I might not have survived. I will never forget this kindness."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but touch Li Nanyan's hair. Although he was smiling, the expression in his eyes had faded. "And do you still remember the wound on my left chest? If you hadn't dealt with it in time, there might not be a person named Jin Lili in this life."
Li Nanyan naturally smiled and said she remembered, but her expression was obviously unnatural when she said this.
And maybe she really is not good at lying. After talking for a long time, she didn't realize that she had already exposed herself completely.
Jin Lili felt even colder in his heart.
In fact, the arrow wound was not on the left chest at all, but clearly between the waist and abdomen. The position was so different that it could be understandable that she was too nervous at the time and did not remember the position clearly. But after that, she would secretly go there to change the bandages for him every day. How could she remember such an obvious thing wrong?
Jin Li was finally sure.
Li Nanyan clearly lied to him!
She had no idea what happened in the woodshed.
And this matter was completely confirmed during his test. Li Nanyan didn't even know where his wound was. How could she be the girl who took good care of him? So, from the beginning to the end, she was not the lifesaver he had been thinking about.
If it was his own fault that he mistook her for the jade pendant, why did she never deny it every time he mentioned it? Why did she even make the best of a mistake and mislead him into thinking that the person was her?
This...liar.
Jin Lili couldn't hide his irritation for a moment, and he became even more disgusted with this woman who pretended to be his savior.
The reason why Li Nanyan went with the flow was naturally because she really fell in love with the person who protected and cared for her in every way.
At first, she didn't understand why the rumored cold, indifferent and decisive Lord Jin always showed mercy to her, helped her out, smiled at her, taught her a lesson to the playboys who blocked her way, and appeared at the first moment when her carriage had an accident, and saved her in the critical moment...
It would be hard for her not to be moved by a man who is so arrogant, indifferent and disdainful to all women, but has a soft heart and preference for her, right?
Besides, she was just a lady from a wealthy family who had never seen the world. Although calling her a lady was also an exaggeration for her, Li Nanyan was still very clear about her own worth after all.
She was not good at any of the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry or song. She was not gentle or virtuous. When she had nothing to do, she would take a group of maids for a stroll.
Listening to a group of noble ladies gathering together to talk about romantic gossip, buying all kinds of rouge and powder and beautiful jewelry, I love reading the new short story books published by Zhang Family Bookstore. I have read too many short story books, so I am particularly looking forward to the scenes where talented men and beautiful women fall in love at first sight.
She thought she was a beauty, and the beautiful and brainless Miss Li had a kind of mysterious self-confidence. She felt that she and the handsome Lord Jin were a perfect match made in heaven.
However, as they got closer and got along with each other, Li Nanyan gradually realized that something was wrong.
Although she was not smart enough, she was not really stupid. When Jin Xinli vaguely told her that he had deliberately left the jade pendant in the woodshed, and thought about the maids' clamor and complaints at that time, she began to understand that the person who saved him should be her half-sister Li Qingrou, and she just picked up the jade pendant by accident, so he mistakenly thought she was his savior.
Li Nanyan was more angry than jealous at the moment. Li Qingrou had actually secretly kept a strange man in the manor behind her back, and this strange man actually became her fiancé!
As expected, Li Nanyan secretly kept this a secret. In her opinion, it was just a life-saving favor, not true love. Wasn't she still the one who was with him now? And wasn't she also the one he said he liked?
After all, saving a life and admiration are two completely different things.
Perhaps when you truly fall in love with someone, you will start to worry about gains and losses. Li Nanyan was originally coquettish and had a bad temper, but after falling in love with Jin Lili, she slowly began to control her temper and started trying to change herself for him.
In front of him, I tried hard to be a gentle and virtuous woman, and gradually tried to change myself in the direction he liked, always hoping to show my best side to my lover.
The more she liked Jin Lili, the more sensitive she became. Especially when Li Qingrou appeared in front of them, Li Nanyan was just like a kitten guarding its food, and her fur stood on end, becoming alert.
After all, she had suffered a lot of injustice at the hands of this half sister. She had been ridiculed by her several times in a roundabout way, and it took her a long time to react.
Otherwise, the gossip that the eldest daughter of the Li family is beautiful but brainless would not have spread.
Now is finally a chance to avenge past humiliation.
Li Nanyan was of course very proud, and was particularly careful to show their intimacy in front of each other, giving him purses, holding hands, and whispering in his ears with a blushing face. Sometimes she would even bully him without any bottom line. She was a little vain, and of course she relied on the power of this powerful Lord Jin, after all, he was her fiancé.
She would also speak ill of her concubine sister in front of Jin Lili, openly expressing her dislike for this concubine sister, and then demanding that her lover not like her, let alone have any contact with her. Her coquettish and willful nature made people unable to resist.
Jin Lili didn't understand what she was talking about at first. But he naturally saw through her little thoughts. Not only did he not feel angry, but he felt that Li Nanyan, who was jealous and angry, was particularly lively and interesting.
Everyone said that she was a simple-minded person, but he thought she was pure and kind. Even the way she glared at him was just right, as if she could see into his heart and made him soften his heart.
But all this joy and love disappeared abruptly after he found out that she was not his savior.
Really...
Well, that doesn't make sense.
However, there are many things that don't make sense.
What surprised Nan Yan was that after Jin Xinli learned that her savior was a fake, he did not expose her lie immediately.
It should be said that he hasn't completely broken off relations with her, but his attitude has actually changed a little, becoming a little cold.
Nan Yan could understand his behavior very well. After all, they had just gotten engaged, and now all the prominent families in Yanyun City knew about them. If he suddenly broke off the engagement, he would inevitably be criticized, and it would not even be beneficial to him in the court.
Another thing is that Jin Lili still doesn’t know who the girl was who actually saved him?
However, since the jade pendant was in her hand, it meant that Li Nanyan also knew that woman, so he still needed to get the woman's true identity from her.
…
And now, Nan Yan was forced into a small corner of the study by the man in front of her, and had to raise her head to look at the man in front of her. This was in Jin Linli's study.
The reason why Nan Yan came here was because she felt that her fiancé seemed a little cold towards her. She also heard the maids who went out to buy things say that Lord Jin was resting at home because he had caught a cold. Li Nan Yan, who had been looking forward to meeting her fiancé, could no longer sit still. She brought two maids and hurried to the Jin Mansion, just like she did in the past.
Normally, the two people should not meet before they get married, but the people of the Dali Dynasty were open-minded and the barriers between men and women were not strict. As long as both parties were self-disciplined and polite, some things did not need to be too obvious.
However, no matter how I look at this person in front of me, I feel like there is something wrong.
Nan Yan raised her eyes and looked at the man in front of her. Lord Jin was born with a pair of cold and auspicious eyes, long eyebrows slightly frowned, thin lips, and only a faint blood line between his lips.
Perhaps it was because he had been in the court for too long, he had a casual murderous feeling when looking at people, his eyes were like a deep pool without any ripples, deep and quiet, without a trace of ripples, especially when he looked at people with an expressionless face, the invisible sense of oppression was really hard to resist.
Especially under such a gaze, Nan Yan turned her face away feeling a little embarrassed.
Her face turned slightly red. Thinking about their current relationship and the man's increasingly cold attitude recently, she suddenly felt even more resentful.
"What's wrong with you lately? If you don't pay any attention to me, why do you keep staring at me when I come? Didn't you say you were sick? Why don't you take a good rest?"
Nan Yan snorted softly, and acted coquettishly with a hint of complaint.
Jin Lili thought of the truth he had just learned not long ago, and of the other party's two deceptions, his heart became even colder. He looked at the woman in front of him carefully from head to toe without leaving a trace, and the more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
He should have noticed it earlier...
Although he couldn't see with his own eyes at that time, he had a feeling that he couldn't make a mistake. The girl who saved him was very gentle and reserved. She was careful and meticulous in everything she did. Although she didn't talk to him much, her every move revealed the gentleness and grace of a lady from a noble family. She was completely different from the spoiled, willful, and empty-headed girl in front of him.
How ridiculous! How could he have thought she was the woman who saved him? They looked nothing alike from head to toe.
And now, she was still deceiving him.
Jin Li kept his eyes on Nan Yan's face. He originally thought that she might feel a little guilty, but he might have really overestimated her brain. Who could have expected that when he looked at her like this, the woman's face opposite him would slowly turn red. Her fair face was surging with the glow of the sunset, as if stained with a thin layer of blush, and she looked back at him with watery eyes.
"What's wrong with you today? Why are you looking at me like that? Did someone make you angry again?"
Hearing what she said, Jin Lili on the other side did not seem to react. Instead, he asked meaningfully, "You are right. If someone cheated me, what do you think I should do?"
Nan Yan blinked and answered without thinking, "Of course I punished him." After saying that, she realized it belatedly and asked hesitantly, "What happened? Did someone cheat you? Who was it?"
Jin Li glanced at her and did not answer her question. Instead, he asked calmly, "How do you want me to punish her?"
Nan Yan felt tired of talking like this. He was too tall, and so close to her. She felt uncomfortable raising her head, so she turned her head uncomfortably, her eyes fell on his cuffs, and her little finger couldn't be controlled. It hooked and hooked, and finally got entangled. Then she smiled and said, "Anyway, to punish someone, you have to punish him with his most important thing. It's just like the monthly salary that Dad usually punishes me with. It wasn't enough to begin with, and if he keeps punishing me, I won't even have enough money to buy snacks."
As soon as he finished speaking, his sleeve was pulled away.
Jin Lili sneered and asked her, "Has Yanyan ever hidden anything from me?"
Nan Yan's face turned pale when she heard what he said, but she soon returned to normal. She bit her lip, her eyes were a little vacant, and her voice was hesitant.
"This... no..."
Jin Lili's expression became even more indifferent after hearing this. "Have you really never hidden anything?"
Nan Yan snorted twice, and tied the handkerchief with her fingers, which became tighter and tighter. She would occasionally steal a glance at him. When he looked over at her, she would immediately move away uncomfortably. Finally, her voice floated up, "Actually, when you first approached me, I thought you looked effeminate, without any manliness at all..."
Jin Lili: "..."
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Lord Jin, who has always been mean and ungrateful, didn't know what to say for a moment.
Then I heard the man opposite me shrink his head and continue to say,
"I read in a storybook that most men like this are not normal. Later, I heard a lot of gossip about you from some good friends..."
"They said that Master Jin didn't like women because he had some unknown habits. So they spread a lot of gossip about you to many noble ladies, saying that you were inhumane, had a leopard habit, and also..."
Seeing that what this person said was getting more and more excessive, Jin Lili couldn't help it. He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and pushed the woman in front of him against the window frame behind him, "Okay, can I ask you if you didn't feel very clearly that day? What Longyang quirk, what kind of messed-up storybooks have you read recently, can such gossip be spread randomly?"
He was talking about the time when, in the peach blossom forest, their passion reached a peak and they couldn't help but feel unable to control themselves. As they were kissing, the man naturally had some unknown reactions.
Lord Jin, who was usually calm and steady as a rock, was now so angry at this person that he didn't even remember what he had said before. He just wanted to pry open her head to see what was inside. Spreading such nonsense to others, are these noble ladies just sitting there with nothing to do?
But the woman in front of him still had a pair of moist eyes, and looked at him with a slightly red face, "Did someone spread gossip to you? I'm sorry, I didn't know about it before. Otherwise, can I go and explain it to them?"
As she spoke, she was about to get up, wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, but the man in front of her pulled her hard and pulled her into his arms.
Jin Lili's forehead twitched twice, and he felt a little tired for some reason. He looked down at the people, "How are you going to explain this matter? What's the point of you explaining it to them, Li Nanyan, do you still want your reputation?"
Nan Yan seemed to have just reacted. She blushed and lay on his chest. She blinked twice and then showed an innocent look. "Then I won't say anything, okay?"
Jin Linli breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know why, and he didn't know if it was because they were engaged, but this man was no longer as restrained in front of him as before. Instead, he revealed his true character more and more.
Looking at the bright and charming face in front of his chest, Nan Yan lay obediently in his arms, her dark hair scattered on her shoulders, her skin still faintly flushed, like a crabapple blossoming on a branch, fresh, delicate and tempting.
Jin Xinli is a normal man, and he will look at the woman in front of him with the eyes of a normal man. He didn't like women in the past because he had never met one that made his heart beat. Later, he finally met one, but it turned out to be a fake.
But at this moment, Jin Lili's mood was a little complicated. He didn't know what his feelings were towards the person in front of him. Reason told him that he should hate him, but there was an inexplicable desire in his heart.
"Jin, disgusting..."
Nan Yan's voice was soft and a little nervous. She blushed and looked at him. Seeing his complicated expression, she looked away uncomfortably and poked two fingers together. "Why are you staring at me like that? Could it be that... you've thought about it again?"
Hearing this, Jin Li was really confused for a moment, "What are you thinking about?"
What else could it be? I'm thinking about it again.
Nan Yan pursed her lips, her expression seemed a little conflicted and hesitant, but when she looked at the man in front of her, she seemed to have made a decision. She rolled over and got out of his arms, then pushed him against the window frame, pouted her little mouth, and kissed him without a care.
This action made Jin Lili a little dazed. He didn't react for a while and forgot about struggling. He was directly pushed down on the windowsill. The kiss made his lips hurt a little, and all the anger in his heart disappeared instantly.
When the servant outside heard the noise, he looked up and saw the scene where the eldest lady of the Li family pressed his master against the window and kissed him until he was unconscious. He was shocked for a moment!
So, his parents are still...
The one at the bottom?
Is the eldest daughter of the Li family so tough?
After kissing the man, Nan Yan blushed a little. Her lips were rosy and her eyes were moist. Especially when she saw Jin Lili across from her still staring at her, she immediately showed a mysterious expression on her face that said, "We've already kissed, why are you still not satisfied?"
"Why are you still...staring at me?"
Hearing the question, Jin Li quickly suppressed his emotions and said directly, "Why, you are already my fiancée now, can't I even look at you twice?"
Haha, he is so hypocritical. The words sound nice, but I don't know what he is thinking in his heart?
