The Villainess Awakens After Marrying the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 44
Chapter 44
In Wen Yu’s confusion, Jiang Yunjin seemed embarrassed, feeling ashamed of his submission, and quickly ran away. Su Lengyue suppressed a laugh and followed suit.
Yuan Tan: “!”
She looked at Jiang Yunjin, then at Jiang Yunyan. Although she had speculated before, hearing the title “big sister-in-law” still shocked her.
Is this what it’s like in wealthy families? It’s not as terrifying as she imagined. Look at Wen Yu, the little schemer, managing to escape unscathed and being called “big sister-in-law”!
When Wen Yu turned around, Yuan Tan gave her a thumbs up. “Impressive.”
Wen Yu: ?
What’s wrong with these people today?!
She sighed, simply pulled Yuan Tan into the car. Xiao Chen had already arrived; he was driving them. Seeing them in the car, Xiao Chen enthusiastically said, “Madam, your other friends and the boss’s friends are already on the cruise ship. Shall we go directly?”
“Sure,” Wen Yu nodded.
Yuan Tan: “Cruise? What cruise?”
Xiao Chen answered first, “Our boss heard that you guys were going to stay here for a few days, so he gave Madam a cruise ship.”
Yuan Tan: “!!!”
Shocked, she was rendered speechless. “Are all you rich people this extravagant?”
Wen Yu earnestly said, “No, I’m not! I’m very poor!”
Yuan Tan: “Yeah, right.”
Wen Yu: …
Almost forgot, she’s not that poor girl from her previous life anymore!
Unable to hold back, Wen Yu burst into laughter.
—
The cruise ship is huge, at least according to Wen Yu’s perspective, it’s enormous. Much larger than the TV show crew’s rental from yesterday.
The cruise ship is predominantly white, occasionally adorned with hints of blue or other colors, seemingly casual but harmoniously beautiful when combined. It has a total of five floors, with a simple yet elegant overall design that appears understated.
However, the interior of the ship is far from understated. At first glance, it resembles a luxurious hotel, with lavish decorations and everything appearing brand new.
And now, she’s its owner.
This feeling is truly exhilarating!
At this moment on the cruise ship, Xiao Qiyun and his two companions have already arrived. In addition to them, there’s Yao Xi, the female lead from the youth drama that Wen Yu shot after awakening. Apart from the crew of the drama “Youthful Journey,” including the female supporting role Bai Yueguang in the same group as Jiang Yunjin, most of the other main actors from the three dramas Wen Yu filmed after awakening have also come.
It was mainly because Xiao Qiyun suggested that having more people would be lively, allowing her to invite more friends. As for the three friends of theirs… they dared not invite, fearing Jiang Yunyan would find out in advance.
So, Wen Yu just sent a message to the three groups, and aside from Liu Yue, who conscientiously didn’t come, some couldn’t make it due to work, but the rest, upon hearing about the cruise party, eagerly signed up.
The crowd is indeed lively. As soon as Wen Yu arrives, she is immediately surrounded by a group of people greeting her. Xiao Qiyun and his friends are also playing with this group.
There are dedicated service personnel on the ship, offering a variety of food and drinks. Xiao Qiyun, accompanied by several men, is participating in a swimming competition. Without saying anything, Wen Yu’s summoning technique has brought in men with good figures, attracting a group of actresses to watch.
Wen Yu, feeling a bit bored, is pulled over by Yao Xi, who curiously asks, “Is your husband coming today?”
Wen Yu shakes her head, “I haven’t asked yet.”
Xiao Qiyun, with keen ears, immediately rushes over, “No, no! You can’t ask. Once A Yan comes, the fun is over!”
Yao Xi: “Why?”
Xiao Qiyun grins, adding a touch of excitement to mischief. “You’ll see when A Yan arrives!”
Yao Xi: “See what?”
Certainly! Here’s the English translation with space between paragraphs:
—
Fixing her gaze, “I’ve arranged for performers, many handsome guys and beautiful ladies. Don’t you want to watch?”
Wen Yu: “?! ”
Yao Xi, excitedly: “Want!”
Xiao Qiyun: “Then it’s settled?”
He spread his hands: “Ah, Yan’s old house caught fire. Surely, he wouldn’t let his little sister-in-law watch other men. Just afraid that if she sees too much, she won’t fancy him, the aloof one. No choice, had to keep it from him. We’re coming over without telling him!”
Yao Xi nodded: “Makes sense. At such times, it’s not suitable when the master is absent.”
Wen Yu, surprised: “Aren’t you afraid he’ll find out later and retaliate against you?”
Though she thought Jiang Yunyan probably wouldn’t do that…
She was just here to watch, not to get involved.
Still curious, why was Xiao Qiyun, who didn’t know their actual relationship, so bold?
Xiao Qiyun grinned proudly: “The three of us happened to plan a trip abroad. Mainly, Cheng Yan’s family has some issues with their overseas business. He’s going to handle that, and we’ll go on vacation, away for two or three months. When we come back, he shouldn’t be angry anymore.”
Okay, they admit, this move is deliberate, just to see Jiang Yunyan’s reaction.
Of course, they’ll be cautious, not allowing the little sister-in-law to be offended for real.
Wen Yu, unaware of his sinister thoughts, was quite enthusiastic: “Alright! I’ll leave it to you!”
Xiao Qiyun patted his chest: “No problem! Which type do you like?”
This question left Wen Yu puzzled.
—
In her past life, due to her parents’ situation, Wen Yu had no illusions about her significant other. Just thinking about it would remind her of her parents’ miserable marriage, casting a shadow on her psyche.
Later, with the transmigration, she initially considered finding a way to divorce. However, Jiang Yunyan’s special relationship with her, more like that of a caring brother, appealed to her. She liked the feeling, so she put this matter on hold.
Marriage was not a favorable thing for her, and a partner was not something she actively considered. As for people, she felt she liked anyone good-looking. When asked about her specific preference, she genuinely hadn’t… Suddenly, Wen Yu thought of a scene she witnessed that day and hesitated: “Good physique? Six-pack?”
“So vague?” Yao Xi said directly, “I like handsome ones, fair-skinned, preferably able to dance, with an attractive waist…”
Yuan Tan happened to come over, hearing this question. She looked relatively serious and slightly conservative, but after two seconds of silence, she immediately responded, “I like tall guys, skin can be slightly healthy, but not too dark. Must have abdominal muscles, and a more dignified appearance.”
Wen Yu looked over in surprise. Yuan Tan coughed lightly, “Sometimes, it’s okay to relax a bit.”
Wen Yu restrained her laughter, “Makes sense.”
Xiao Qiyun noted down and turned to ask others.
Yao Xi, curious, looked at Wen Yu: “You don’t have a preferred type? I like puppy-like guys, some people like wolf-like, and others like the uncle style. What about you?”
All were talking about basic conditions.
Wen Yu seriously thought for a while and shook her head: “None.”
Yao Xi patted her head, “So pitiful, trapped without experiencing the diverse world. For men, the only words you have left are ‘good physique, six-pack’…”
Wen Yu: “…”
Yao Xi pouted, “But this also proves that my idol has a great physique, with abs.”
Wen Yu fell silent.
For some reason, she didn’t like discussing issues related to Jiang Yunyan with others.
Yao Xi didn’t mind and teased, “Maybe you married him because you were tempted by his body back then?”
Wen Yu felt the causality was reversed; she married him, then was tempted by his body… Huh?
Did she really crave Jiang Yunyan’s body?
Wen Yu silently covered her face.
Who wouldn’t crave that?! Leaving aside everything else, the glimpse of his abs she ‘accidentally’ saw that day was truly tempting!
Unfortunately, her courage was lacking, and she didn’t dare touch.
Wen Yu feared Yao Xi would continue, unable to withstand it herself, so she quickly changed the topic, “By the way, Tan Tan, you didn’t sleep well last night. How about catching up on some rest?”
Yuan Tan nodded, “Sure.”
Wen Yu also stood up, “I’ll join you.”
There were rooms on the cruise ship, similar to hotel rooms. Wen Yu swiftly led Yuan Tan away, and Yao Xi shook her head at their escaping figures.
Married but still so thin-skinned, truly like innocent children.
Coincidentally, someone approached with a fruit platter, and she smiled, “Thanks, handsome.”
The actor playing the fourth male lead in “Youthful Journey” blushed immediately.

Xiao Qiyu’s work was quite efficient.
Before long, a group arrived by boat and boarded the drifting cruise ship.
The party was scheduled for the evening, but they entertained themselves during the day.
The ship had a butler and a life assistant named Xiao Chen. Whatever they wanted to do, there was immediate service. Divers had a dedicated coach accompanying them, and those interested in fishing had professional equipment. They could even ride jet skis for fun.
Wen Yu woke up and found everyone still playing.
Xiao Qiyu had caught many fish, Yao Xi was passionately engaged with a young guy, Yuan Tan had already woken up and was playing games with others, creating a lively atmosphere.
It wasn’t evening yet, but she felt a paper-drunk and golden-dazed sensation.
How could she be so carefree, blessed in some life?
Feeling delighted, Wen Yu took her phone, avoiding Xiao Qiyu and the others, and sent a photo to Jiang Yunyan: [Love it, thanks, Big Brother!]
Probably around mealtime, he replied quickly: [Having a good time. *attached picture*]
It was a photo of him at work, surrounded by folders.
Wen Yu: “…”
She felt a bit guilty, but before dwelling on it for two seconds, Qin Zhou called, “Little sister-in-law, it’s time to eat!”
Wen Yu: “Coming!”
She wondered if Jiang Yunyan had lunch today. After all, he even sent Xiao Chen over.
Oh well, it’s too far, and she can’t do anything about it. She didn’t even have time to order takeout, so she decided not to think about it and went to eat.
Lunch was a seafood feast prepared by the ship’s chef.
Although the program crew treated them to plenty of seafood yesterday, the chef’s dishes were so delicious that they could make you cry.
“After lunch, everyone can take a break,” Xiao Qiyu arranged, “The performers have arrived and are rehearsing downstairs. In the afternoon, the staff will set up the venue. Those bored can come help, or you can continue playing as you like.”
“No problem!”
“Okay, I’ll take a nap first and see if I want to help after waking up.”
Yuan Tan was also excited, “I’ll help too.”
“I’m going diving! Ah, the coach is so professional. Unfortunately, there are not many sharks or dolphins in this area; otherwise, it would be more exciting!”
Wen Yu: “…I’m going to sleep.”
Full and satisfied, she became drowsy again.
After finishing lunch, everyone found something to do on their own. The ship sailed smoothly on the calm sea, with a slight sway that made sleeping quite comfortable. Soon, Wen Yu fell asleep.
When she woke up again and lay in bed playing with her phone, it was already three o’clock. She was then pulled by a group of people to go swimming.
After some fun, she returned for a shower, realizing it was already past five. The sunset painted the deck in golden hues, and a stage was set up, not too extravagant but equipped with various devices.
Feeling a professional vibe, Wen Yu grew more excited about the evening performance. However, Qin Zhou, after checking the rehearsal downstairs, returned with a worried expression, asking, “Brother, do you really want to do this?”
Xiao Qiyu replied, “Life has its ups and downs.”
Cheng Yan added, “I don’t see ups and downs; I see you heading straight into the sea!”
Despite their concerns, they joined in.
Qin Zhou sighed; they just wanted to witness some excitement. Jiang Yunyan seemed much older than them, creating a bit of distance. In their childhood, he was the kid from another family, and they envied the praise he received from parents.
But their attempts to compete failed. Jiang Yunyan calmly dealt with their pranks, even beating them without losing his composure. Facing a person unfazed by fights, they eventually gave in and started studying together.
Over time, they became close friends, sharing school experiences and living nearby. Jiang Yunyan, although reserved, proved loyal. If any of them faced trouble, he was always there to help, like bringing them back to school during high school truancy.
Though not following Jiang Yunyan exactly, they all found success in their careers. Especially Cheng Yan, who managed to take over the family business ahead of a favored illegitimate child.
Despite their strong brotherhood, mischief was still on their minds. Planning to take photos and videos, they intended to share their adventures with Jiang Yunyan, feeling confident they wouldn’t be caught abroad.
The most excited, Xiao Qiyu, suddenly scratched his head, hesitating, “I feel like we’re overlooking something.”
Qin Zhou asked, “Overlooking what?”
Cheng Yan didn’t expect it either, shrugged: “If you can’t imagine it, forget about it.”
After a brief struggle, the three gave up and continued to fiddle around. Only in the corner, Xiaochen silently turned and hid.
