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.
只是讓南嫣有些意外的是，靳厭離在得知她這個救命恩人是個名符其實的冒牌貨之後，并沒有第一時間就戳穿她的謊話。
應該說還沒有徹底地跟她撕破臉，但其實态度已經有些變了，變得有些冷淡了。
而南嫣也很能理解他這種做法，畢竟兩人才剛定完親，如今整個燕雲城有頭有臉的人家都知道兩人的事了，突然退親難免會遭人口舌，甚至于他朝堂之上也無益。
再一個就是靳厭離還不知道當初真正救他的那個姑娘是誰？
不過那玉佩既然在她手中，就說明李南嫣也是認識那個女子的，所以他還需要從她的口中套出當初那女子的真實身份。
……
而現在，南嫣被眼前的男人逼到了書房的一處小角落裏，不得不擡起頭來看着眼前的男人，這是在靳厭離的書房。
而南嫣之所以來這裏也是因為她感覺未婚夫對自己似乎有些冷淡了，又在府裏聽到外出采買的丫鬟們說，靳大人因為感染風寒在家休沐了，原本就期盼着跟未婚夫見面的李南嫣這下更是坐不住了，帶上兩個小丫鬟就眼巴巴地趕來靳府了，就跟從前一樣。
按理說兩人剛定親，在成婚之前是不該見面的，但大黎朝民風開放，男女之防并不嚴謹，只要雙方都克己守禮，有些事情就不用在意地太過明顯。
不過，眼前這人怎麽看都覺得有些不對勁呢？
南嫣擡眸看向眼前的男人，靳大人天生一雙冷淡的瑞鳳眼，長眉微斂，嘴唇淡薄，唇縫之間只餘一道淺淡的血線。
興許是在朝堂待久了，他看人時有種漫不經心的殺伐感，雙眸猶如平靜無波的深潭，幽深靜谧，沒有絲毫波瀾，尤其是當他面無表情地朝人看過來時，那種無形中的壓迫感實在讓人有些難以招架。
尤其是在這樣的眼神注視下，南嫣實在有些不好意思地別過臉。
她臉龐有些微紅，想到兩人如今的關系，又想到這人最近愈發冷淡的态度，她心中的幽怨頓時又多了不少，
“你最近是到底怎麽了嘛？要麽就不理我，我一來又這樣盯着不放，不是說生病了嗎？為什麽還不好好休息啊？”
南嫣輕哼了一聲，還帶了些埋怨似的撒嬌。
靳厭離則想到自己不久前才知道的真相，又想到對方三方兩次的欺騙，心中冷意更甚，目光不着痕跡地将眼前這女子從頭到尾仔細打量了一遍，越看越覺得不對勁。
他早就該察覺到的……
雖然當時自己的眼睛看不見，但感覺是不會出錯的，當初那個救他的姑娘是很溫柔內斂的，她做什麽都是小心細致的，雖然沒怎麽跟他說過話，但一舉一動都透着股兒大家閨秀的溫婉秀麗，和眼前這個嬌縱任性、腦袋空空的女子一點也不一樣。
真是可笑！他當初怎麽會以為她是那個救了自己的女子呢？明明從頭到腳沒有一絲相似的地方。
而現在，她居然還在欺騙他。
靳厭離目光一直盯着南嫣的臉，她原以為她或許會有些心虛，但他可能真的是高估她的腦子了，誰能料到他這樣看着，對面那女子的臉居然慢慢紅了，白皙的面龐湧動着霞光，仿佛染了一層薄薄的紅暈，眼睛水汪汪地回望着他。
“你今天到底是怎麽了，為、為什麽用這樣的眼神看着我啊？是誰又惹你生氣了嗎？”
聽到她說的話，對面的靳厭離似乎并沒有什麽反應，反倒意有所指地問了句，“你說的不錯，若是有人騙了我，你說該怎麽辦？”
南嫣眼睛眨巴了下，想也不想地就回答道，“當然是懲罰他了。” 說完才有些後知後覺地反應過來，又有些猶豫地問，“怎麽了，有人騙了你嗎？是誰啊？”
靳厭離低頭掃了她一眼，沒有回答她的問題，反倒是不動聲色地問了一句，“你想我要怎麽懲罰她呢？”
南嫣覺得這樣說話有些累了，他太高了，又挨得這麽近，她擡着腦袋也很不舒服的，就有些不自在地轉過臉，目光落到他的袖口上，小拇指頓時有些控制不住了，勾呀勾的，終于纏上了，然後嘴角露出一個笑容道，“反正，懲罰人自然是要罰他最重要的東西了，就跟爹平常罰我的月銀一樣，本來就不夠用了，再被他罰着罰着，連買點心的錢都不夠了。”
話剛說完手中的袖子就被人抽了出去。
靳厭離冷笑一聲，然後問她，“那嫣嫣有什麽隐瞞過我的事情嗎？”
乍然間聽到他說的這話，南嫣臉色頓時有些發白，但很快就恢複了正常，她咬着唇眼神有些游離，聲音也是猶豫不決的，
“這個……沒有……”
靳厭離聞言，神情愈發淡漠，“真的什麽都沒有隐瞞過嗎？”
南嫣哼了兩聲，手指絞着手帕，越絞越緊，那小眼神還時不時地偷瞄他一眼，等對方看過來的時候，立馬不自在地挪開了，最後聲音飄忽忽地響起，“其實，一開始你接近我的時候，我就覺得你這人長得娘們唧唧的，一點男子漢的氣概都沒有……”
靳厭離：“……”
室內一時靜默了片刻。
向來刻薄寡恩的靳大人一時間有些不知道該說什麽好？
然後又聽到對面那人縮着腦袋繼續說，
“我看話本上說，這樣的男人大多是有些不太正常的，後來我又從一些好朋友那裏聽過你不少的閑話……”
“她們說，靳大人不近女色，其實是因為本身有些不為人知的癖好，所以就跟許多貴女們傳了許多你的閑話，說你不能人道，還有龍陽怪癖，還有……”
要看這人說的越來越過分了，靳厭離實在忍不住了，他深深吸了口氣，直接伸手一把将身前的女人抵在身後的窗棂上，“行了，我能不能人道你那天感受得不是很清楚嗎？什麽龍陽怪癖，你最近又看了什麽亂七八糟的話本，這種閑話也是可以亂傳的嗎？”
他說的是之前在桃花林中，兩人情到濃時難免有些不能自抑，吻着吻着身上這人自然就有了些不為人知的反應。
向來不動聲色、穩如泰山的靳大人此刻也被這人氣得夠嗆，哪裏還記得之前說過的話，現在只想撬開她的腦袋看看裏面到底都裝了什麽，跟人傳這樣亂七八糟的閑話，這群貴女們都是吃飽了撐得沒事幹嗎？
偏偏面前這女人還睜着一雙水潤的眼睛，臉頰微紅地望着他，“是不是有人傳閑話傳到你這兒來了，對不起嘛，我之前也不知道的，要不然，我去跟她們解釋可以嗎？”
她說着就準備起身，想要趁早離開這種是非之地，偏偏身前這人用力拽了她一把，直接将人扯進了懷裏。
靳厭離額角抽搐了兩下，莫名覺得有些心累，他低頭看人，“這種事情，你打算怎麽解釋？更何況，你跟她們解釋有什麽用，李南嫣，你還要不要自己的名聲了？”
南嫣好似這才反應過來，紅着臉趴在他的胸口，眼睛眨巴了兩下，然後露出一副無辜的神情，“那我什麽都不說了可以嗎？”
靳厭離松了一口氣，不知為何，也不知道是不是因為已經定了親的緣故了，這人在他面前也不似從前那般收斂克制了，反倒越來越袒露自己真實的性子了。
看着胸前那張明豔動人的面容，南嫣老老實實趴在他懷裏，烏黑的秀發散落肩頭，肌膚還泛着淡淡的紅暈，像是枝頭初初綻放的海棠，鮮妍、嬌豔欲滴。
靳厭離是個正常男人，他也會以正常男人的眼光來看待眼前的女子，從前不近女色是因為沒遇到過讓他心動的，後來好不容易遇上了一個，結果卻是個冒牌貨。
但此刻，靳厭離的心情也是有些複雜的，他不知道自己對眼前這人是什麽情感了，理智告訴他應該是厭惡的，偏偏心底又有一絲說不清道不明的欲/望。
“靳、厭離……”
南嫣聲音輕輕的，有些緊張，她紅着臉看他，看他那複雜的眼神，又有些不自在地挪開了視線，然後兩根手指對在一起戳了戳，“你這麽盯着我做什麽啊？難不成……又想了嗎？”
聽到這話，靳厭離一時間是真的有些不明所以，“什麽又想了？”
還能是什麽又想了。
南嫣抿了抿唇，表情似乎有些糾結猶豫，但是看着眼前這人的視線，然後像是下了什麽決定一樣，直接翻身從他懷裏退出，然後一把将人壓倒在了窗楞上，小嘴一撅，直接就不管不顧地親了上去。
這舉動讓靳厭離都有些發懵，一時沒反應過來，也就忘記掙紮了，直接被人按倒在了窗臺之上，親得他嘴皮子有點疼，心中瞬間什麽火氣都沒有了。
而外頭小厮聽見動靜，一擡頭就看到那李家大小姐把他家大人按在窗口都親懵了的場景，一時間都震驚了！
所以，他家大人居然還是……
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?
