The Villainess Awakens After Marrying the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Wen Yu shouted softly. She just wanted to express a bit of joy and excitement in her heart. If she woke the person up, she would take advantage of his drowsiness to kiss him first, but in fact, her tone was as soft as possible. Despite her excitement, she was a little afraid of disturbing Jiang Yunyan’s rest. She thought that she was calling out so quietly that she wouldn’t wake him up. But as soon as her voice fell, the person in front of her with long eyelashes trembled and slowly opened his eyes. Although still a bit sleepy, he still looked over and asked softly, « What’s wrong? »

Wen Yu’s heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, all the assumptions she had just made couldn’t be carried out. Her smile froze a bit, not out of fear, but because of the confusion and subconscious panic of facing the sudden change in their relationship and the events of last night. Her mind, clouded by the surprise of suddenly gaining two villas, went blank.

Wen Yu subconsciously shook her head, feeling a bit weak, « Nothing… »

« Good girl. » Seeing her like this, the man raised his hand and gently touched her head, intending to coax her to play first.

In the past few days, in order to rush back to celebrate her birthday, he had hardly slept at all. He would catch some sleep on the way, mostly on the plane. But during layovers, with people coming and going, he didn’t rest well.

Just as he finished speaking, the person in front of him suddenly seemed to gather courage and leaned in to kiss him forcefully. The softness of their lips caused a slight pain due to the force, and after a « smack » sound, they quickly backed away, not allowing him to deepen the kiss.

After the kiss, the young girl smiled brightly, but still tried to keep her voice low, so as not to disturb his sleep, « Big brother, you go to sleep first. I’ll go downstairs to eat. »

After saying that, she ran off. Whatever, they had already kissed like this last night, so it shouldn’t matter now. She had already brushed her teeth anyway.

Feeling so happy, she hurried downstairs to hug Aunt Jiang and thank her for giving birth to such a generous son.

Feeling caught off guard by the kiss, the man froze for a moment, then could only see the tightly closed door. He pursed his lips slightly, his beautiful hand covering his eyes, blocking the joy filling his eyes.

After a while, a helpless sigh came from the room, « Can’t sleep… »

Time is not early anymore.

Jiang Yunjin and Su Lengyue have already left.

Jiang Yunjin is the male lead in the movie, with more scenes than Wen Yu. Director Lu is very demanding, and time is always short. He only had one day off, so he left early this morning.

Su Lengyue happened to be going to the film and television city as well. She ran into Jiang Yunjin, so she decided to go a few days earlier.

The nature of their profession means they will often be apart, as not every drama is suitable for them to be the male and female leads.

Wen Yu can finish lunch before leaving.

However, she drank last night and woke up after ten o’clock. After chatting with Jiang Mama for a while, she was about to have lunch. She thought Jiang Yunyan wouldn’t come down to eat, but when they sat down, Jiang Yunyan also came down.

At this time, there were only three people at home. The man with long legs naturally sat beside Wen Yu and greeted Jiang Mama.

After washing up, he looked much better, but there were still some dark circles under his eyes.

Jiang Mama felt distressed, « You’re so busy, why don’t you take a rest for a couple of days? The company won’t fall apart if you’re absent for a couple of days! »

Jiang Yunyan nodded, « I know, but things over there haven’t been completely resolved yet. Now it’s Zhou Han’s responsibility. I’ll control remotely for two days, then I’ll have a few days off. » He looked at Wen Yu and said, « Eat up, I’ll take you to the airport after you finish. »

Wen Yu quickly shook her head, « No need, you should rest first. You already have dark circles under your eyes. »

Jiang Yunyan didn’t argue further.

He just waited for Wen Yu to finish her meal, then went up to sign the contract with her. When they were about to leave, he followed her and took her bag.

Wen Yu wanted to object, but before she could, he frowned and took her into the car.

There was no other way but to let him take her.

Luckily, there was a driver.

Otherwise, Wen Yu would be worried about his fatigue driving.

Even at the airport, Wen Yu firmly refused to let Jiang Yunyan see her off. There were only a few steps left. This time, the man compromised, but as Wen Yu was about to open the door, he grabbed her.

Wen Yu blinked in confusion.

Then he leaned in, his tall figure blocking out all the light, creating a space that belonged only to him and her.

And at that moment, he reached out, his distinct knuckles gently pulling down the mask she was wearing, and then he lowered his head, his kiss not as fleeting as the one in the morning.

« Mmm… » Wen Yu felt a little flustered as she tilted her head back.

« Um… » Wen Yu tilted her head in confusion for a moment. But the next moment, the back of her head was blocked, unable to avoid it. Her lips were pried open, her breath tightened, instinctively climbing onto the shoulder of the person in front of her.

When the kiss ended, he didn’t immediately withdraw. His lips gently landed on her cheek, and he whispered softly, « Alright, go. »

Only when he spoke did Wen Yu come back to her senses in a daze, realizing she had somehow hooked her neck around his and tightly gripped his collar with her other hand.

His pristine white shirt, now wrinkled at the collar from her grip, made his fair and beautiful collarbone seem somewhat ambiguous…

Wen Yu took a deep breath and quickly let go of his hand.

Jiang Yunyan’s expression seemed unchanged, his deep eyes still calm. It was only his slightly hurried breath that betrayed the turbulence within him. He stepped back slightly and casually helped her pull up her mask.

Wen Yu blinked her watery eyes, subconsciously glanced at his lips, which were slightly redder than usual, with a hint of moisture, falling on him. Along with the wrinkled collar, it seemed like an abstinence system with a touch of spring.

In that moment, she almost didn’t want to leave.

But her rationality remained, and she forcibly averted her gaze, got off the car, and left.

She didn’t bring any luggage when she came back, so naturally, she only had a small bag when she left, walking very gracefully, but actually quite hastily, even a bit disheveled, her steps hurried.

Especially with her cheeks blushing under the mask, as if she had a fever.

She was lost in thought all the way until the plane landed, and Xiao Yu came to pick her up.

Wen Yu only slightly snapped out of it then, took the script and started reviewing. She had memorized all the scenes of her role, but she would always review them again before filming to ensure she didn’t forget her lines.

After all, it was the most basic requirement.

But today, her usually smooth review sessions were constantly interrupted.

Her thoughts drifted to the final scene that had stuck in her mind, the deep kiss in the car, and the reckless impulse of last night when she was drunk.

Thinking about it, the temperature on her cheeks, which had finally cooled down, rose again.

Wen Yu’s breathing stagnated, and she simply covered her face with the script.

This was probably what it felt like to have a craving for the first time, unable to control one’s thoughts, especially for someone like her who had long been craving someone else’s body!

Even those two great villas, she didn’t pay much attention to them!

Wen Yu felt somewhat overwhelmed. What was happening?

Was she really so shallow that a mere kiss left her so unsettled to this extent? If she… had Jiang Yunyan, wouldn’t she need a month off to recuperate?

Wen Yu was filled with inner turmoil, and Xiao Yu looked utterly confused, hesitant to ask but curious. Was it because her boss, her husband, hadn’t come back, and the boss was still upset?

Didn’t receiving birthday gifts make her feel better at all?

Sigh.

Having a workaholic husband was really pitiful.

Wen « Truly Pitiful » Yu: …

Thankfully, arriving at the set from the airport, such a long time, still let Wen Yu calm down. When she entered the set and changed into her costume, she became even calmer. She immersed herself directly into the role.

These days, they’ve been shooting scenes of the main characters’ romance, with Wen Yu as an important supporting role. Her task at the moment is to secretly cause trouble outside, making them distressed, and then guide everyone to discover clues, leading to the female lead being wrongly accused.

While everyone else opposes the female lead, the male lead steadfastly stands by her side, even though he’s just an ordinary human. This is also a stage of rapid development in the main characters’ relationship. Wen Yu’s main focus is on fight scenes.

Fight scenes require full concentration, and Director Lu pays attention to every detail, to the point where she can’t even let a single hair strand be out of place. After shooting each day, Wen Yu goes back to the hotel and lies down. She even temporarily puts aside her daily calls with Jiang Yunyan, which have become a habit.

Every day is just exercising, and when the exercise is over, Wen Yu stands by the female lead, deliberately smiling like a naive and innocent young girl, but with a hint of seduction in her voice: « Sister, he can’t protect you. He won’t stand against everyone for you. Come with me, this place isn’t suitable for you… »

Shi Lan, who plays the female lead, pale-faced but still firmly stands behind the male lead, shaking her head: « I believe in him. » In that moment, the innocent young girl’s eyes suddenly became fierce, looking at the male lead with added hostility. However, she also knew that if she killed the male lead, based on her sister’s current feelings for him, they would definitely break ties with her. Therefore, she still smiled and said, « You will regret it. » In just five words, her voice was gentle yet eerie. Even without special effects, the sound recorder picked it up, giving listeners a chill down their spine.

At this moment, as if provoked by something, the already angry crowd suddenly rioted and rushed towards them: « Find the demon woman! Kill her! » « Killing the demon woman will make us safe! » « Yes, kill the demon woman! » Amidst the riot, the male lead still tightly protected the female lead as they fled. He knew that if this continued, no one would believe the female lead. For this reason, they must find the mastermind behind this. It is said that there is an immortal living in the West Mountain. If they could find this immortal, perhaps the problem could be solved.

« Is there really an immortal? » The female lead seemed incredulous. But the male lead insisted, « There must be. We have been worshipping the West Mountain Goddess for generations. She must exist. If she doesn’t, then we will live in the West Mountain in the future, away from the crowds, and no one will harm you… » He was covered in dirt, yet he protected the female lead unscathed. The female lead smiled, filled with joy and moved. Behind them, the second female lead looked indifferent, half of her delicate and lovely face illuminated by sunlight, while the other half fell into shadow.

*Click!*

Director shouted.

Wen Yu immediately relaxed, and Jiang Yunjin also breathed a sigh of relief. As this scene passed, Shi Lan got up, but the terrain here was uneven, she didn’t pay attention and stumbled.

Jiang Yunjin instinctively reached out to help her.

Shi Lan hurriedly thanked him.

Jiang Yunjin smiled, dressed in ancient costume, with a fair and clear face like the lovelorn character in the movie, his peach blossom eyes carrying a smile, even more captivating: « It’s okay, be careful. »

After saying that, he went to ask for his phone from the assistant.

He didn’t look at her again.

But Shi Lan couldn’t help but stare at him. Wearing a blue shirt, tall and slender, not as frail as the fashionable handsome men nowadays, standing beside the assistant, he was half a head taller than the chubby assistant, and he was a noticeable figure in the crowd.

Until her assistant came over, she didn’t notice.

« Sister Lan? »

« Sister Lan! »

The assistant called twice and even reached out to pull her.

Shi Lan came back to her senses, with a hint of embarrassment on her face, and quickly left.

Open here.

Wen Yu happened to finish watching the entire process and remembered the plot, hesitating whether to intervene or not. In fact, this time, it wasn’t about the feelings between the male and female leads, but it stirred up a scandal about a night gathering. Shi Lan got too immersed in the role, lost her mind for a moment, and hesitated to knock on the door one night. However, Jiang Yunjin just came out and said a few words to her before closing the door. Unfortunately, even so, it was captured by paparazzi, and taken out of context.

Fortunately, after experiencing the previous scandal, Jiang Yunjin became more cautious this time. As soon as something happened, she immediately instructed the legal department to take action and personally proved that she was playing games with teammates at that time, so it was impossible for any night gathering to happen. Then the paparazzi who sued her got scared and released the full video, clarifying the situation. This should be a scene reflecting Jiang Yunjin’s change, knowing to be wary of other women and handling things appropriately. But she remembered in the plot, the fate of this actress wasn’t good in the end. A wrong move led to further missteps, damaging her reputation, and then for various reasons, she didn’t receive any good scripts for a long time. When she came to her senses, she was already nonexistent in the entertainment industry.

—

Wen Yu was also pondering while looking at Shi Lan. But because she was lost in thought, she didn’t notice that Shi Lan had already sensed her gaze, her expression changed slightly, becoming even more unnatural, and hastily avoiding it. Wen Yu was still hesitating whether to speak up or not. During this period of filming together, Shi Lan, as a senior, would also give her guidance. She usually smiled and never acted arrogantly, took her work seriously, and was good-looking. She also interacted with Jiang Yunjin very cautiously. She didn’t seem like the type to meddle in others’ affairs, perhaps just got too immersed in the role and momentarily lost control.

But whenever Wen Yu wanted to find an opportunity to speak, Shi Lan always seemed to have something going on and avoided her. For two consecutive days, Wen Yu couldn’t find a chance. Unfortunately, Wen Yu also didn’t know which night she went to knock on Shi Lan’s door. Just when Wen Yu was thinking about whether to go knock on Shi Lan’s door in the middle of the night to confront her, surprisingly, the crew didn’t provide her with a lunch box at noon.

Wen Yu: « ? »

Although she didn’t particularly like packed lunches, all her recent scenes were filmed outdoors, and there was nothing else to eat! Moreover, today’s packed lunch looked really delicious. It was much richer than yesterday’s, and even the quality of the lunchbox was different! Wen Yu immediately wanted to find the person in charge.

However, as soon as she stood up, she saw a young man standing outside the crowd in a suit that seemed out of place here. The angry expression on her face instantly froze. Xia Yu, who was supposed to go get the packed lunch but returned empty-handed, held back a laugh and said, « Boss, your loving lunch is here. I’ll just eat the packed lunch alone. » Wen Yu glared at her, but couldn’t help but smile and ran over there holding her skirt. This time, there was no hesitation, because when she approached, he instinctively opened his arms.

Wen Yu threw herself into his embrace and exclaimed, « Big brother! » Jiang Yunjin, who had long noticed his younger sister but didn’t dare to say hello, covered his eyes, feeling uncomfortable all over. Sure enough, he couldn’t face such a cold big brother head-on every time and be so clingy to a young girl.
