The Villainess Awakens After Marrying the Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 67

Certainly! Here’s the translation of the paragraphs with space between them:

Chapter 67

Before the phone seemed to have time to completely hang up, Wen Yu’s eyes suddenly felt dark.

The thin blanket blocked out the light outside, and the air seemed to suddenly thin, making her instinctively want to take deep breaths, like a drowning person.

Her body felt like it was being scorched by fire, ignited in various places. Despite just having taken a bath, feeling refreshed, after just a moment, Wen Yu felt sticky all over.

Too much…

Tears were about to fall from Wen Yu’s eyes. She felt somewhat uncomfortable and panicked. She had never seen a pig run, nor had she eaten pork, but now she was about to experience it all.

Just instinctively struggling, in her panic, she pushed aside the blanket over her head and suddenly felt a brightness in front of her.

Her mouth and nose touched fresh air again, and Wen Yu felt as if she had survived a disaster, desperately taking deep breaths, her chest heaving violently.

But then came another wave of stimulation.

“Brother…” Wen Yu cried out, her voice trembling, with a hint of tears, as if she might cry at any moment. Suddenly she grabbed his arm, but it felt slightly sweaty, making it hard for her to hold on, like a person about to fall off a cliff grasping for a straw.

Almost involuntarily, she spoke urgently: “Brother! Don’t!”

However, the man who usually doted on her did not pay attention this time. It was as if a space had formed within the blanket, tearing away all restraints, leaving only the most primitive desires.

Wen Yu tried to dodge with her legs, but her limbs had already gone weak, unable to escape, and could only resign herself.

Like a fish, being tossed and turned by him.

At this moment, all her shyness seemed to surge up, but the extreme pleasure also overwhelmed her, making her tightly clutch the thin blanket, trying to cover up everything underneath.

Until a somewhat loud exclamation escaped from her slightly swollen red lips, her delicate and fair fingers crumpling the blanket, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

“Brother~”

This call was different from usual, and different from her previous deliberately eccentric manner.

Graceful, with a hint of tremor, full of charm.

The man under the blanket finally slowly moved up, holding her, kissing her forcefully, then seemed to calm his own breathing.

Wen Yu: “?”

Why didn’t he continue?

Her muddled mind couldn’t react for a moment, and she looked up blankly, seeing only his face inches away. ☆思☆兔☆文☆檔☆共☆享☆與☆線☆上☆閱☆讀☆

The cold and stern face couldn’t hide the blush, the deep black eyes were like an abyss, under the high bridge of the nose, the pale lips were much redder than usual, with a hint of moisture.

His hair was even more disheveled, lacking the usual seriousness, appearing absurd.

When she looked at him, the man’s eyes darkened, and he covered her eyes with his big hand, whispering softly, “Help me?”

Wen Yu subconsciously followed his words: “How to help?”

Then her hand was held, slowly brought to another area.

Wen Yu suddenly stiffened all over, with only one hand being used like a robot.

She couldn’t see her eyes, but the man’s breath became hotter and hotter, pounding in her ears.

Wen Yu slowly came to her senses, suddenly remembering what was going on—no protection!

She didn’t have time and felt embarrassed to go buy it. On Jiang Yunyan’s side… after all, this wasn’t their little home. At most, they came back once a week. They rarely stayed overnight here. They probably hadn’t prepared yet.

I wonder if their little home on the other side is prepared?

Wen Yu felt embarrassed to ask. In this situation, her fingertips felt hot and sticky, and her earlobe was gently nibbled by the man, as if she had just crossed a high mountain and gradually arrived at another high mountain, making her increasingly confused.

Until finally, although she didn’t exert much effort, her palms felt a bit overheated from overuse, and a familiar hoarse voice came from her ear: “Thank you for your hard work, little fish.”

Wen Yu: “…”

At a time like this, why be so polite?!!!

The next day, Wen Yu was awakened by the vibration of her phone. She reached for her phone, squinting as she opened it. Midway through, her hand trembled from fatigue, causing the phone to slip. She fell silent for two seconds, then picked it up again. As she looked at the screen, her eyes felt sore. She had been restless the previous night, unable to sleep enough, feeling uncomfortable all over. During the day, she couldn’t sleep deeply, so even a single notification could wake her up.

Opening it, it was the director of “Phoenix Rises” sending her a new script, saying the original one had bugs and needed further revisions. Wen Yu: ? She took a deep breath, put down her phone, massaged her eyes to prevent them from getting more sore later.

After massaging, she picked up her phone again and carefully read the script. Compared to the novel, the script was much simpler. Wen Yu had read a lot of novels in her past life and had an excellent memory in this life, so she could read quickly.

As she hurried through it, her expression grew colder. In the end, she didn’t say anything, just sent a message to Liao Jie instead. She had intended to call, but her throat was uncomfortable. This would have to do.

After sending the message, she quickly received a reply. Wen Yu got up, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she suddenly felt weak, her waist a bit sore. Wen Yu: “…” It was all because she had read too many novels. Although she hadn’t seen a pig run, she knew how to raise one…

Unintentionally opening up someone’s new train of thought, she didn’t dwell on whether it was suitable or not. In the end, she fell asleep exhausted. After a short break and mentally preparing herself, Wen Yu stood up again, still feeling a bit uncomfortable, but managing to function normally.

She went to freshen up, and as she entered the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror, her heart tightened. There seemed to be a noticeable mark on her collarbone. Apart from that, he had been relatively restrained, with slightly more marks in the covered areas. But this location was really hard to hide. Unless she wore a button-up shirt to cover it. But it was thirty degrees outside!

Wen Yu examined it carefully. It didn’t look like a hickey. Thank goodness. She breathed a sigh of relief and picked out a dress with bubble sleeves. The sun seemed quite strong outside, so she also grabbed a sun protection jacket to put on before heading out.

Before leaving, she glanced at the blanket, feeling conflicted. After a few seconds, she gave up. Forget it, the blanket was thin, and she couldn’t wash it herself. She would leave it to Jiang Yunyan.

Wen Yu went downstairs intending to quickly have a meal. Just as she descended, Jiang’s mother heard some noise and waved with a smile, “Up already? What would you like to eat?”

Wen Yu: “Anything is fine. What’s available? I’ll be going out later.”

Jiang’s mother immediately said, “Then let’s have some xiaolongbao. You love that. Auntie made soy milk and put it in the fridge; it’s cooled down perfectly.”

Wen Yu smiled and thanked Jiang’s mother, “Sounds good.” Anyway, when she came back, everything would be what she liked to eat.

Wen Yu had a good appetite today, probably because she was tired from yesterday… She ended up eating one and a half trays of xiaolongbao, plus a cup of soy milk! She was surprised when she finished.

At that moment, Liao Jie also called. When she arrived at Jiang’s house, Wen Yu informed Jiang’s mother and changed her shoes before quickly rushing out.

It was already quite late, past ten o’clock, but it would be fine if they could finish by the time they got off work.

As they got in the car, Liao Jie started the engine quickly, but her face looked very grim. “Wasn’t this script sent to you by their boss in the first place? How could they do this?”

Wen Yu lazily leaned against the seat, calmly saying, “I guess they think I’m not influential enough and don’t understand things. Also, when they first sent me the script, I didn’t react much, so they dared to send it again.”

Liao Jie’s face grew even darker.

Wen Yu tried to comfort her, “It’s okay. There are so many scripts out there. If they’re not honest in their collaboration, then so be it.”

When Wen Yu first received the script, she actually read it immediately, but didn’t get a chance to reply. At that time, she was filming in the suburbs, while the production team was reading the script in the studio in the capital, quite far away. So, she couldn’t wait until the shoot was over to respond directly.

The first complete script sent to her was completely different from the one given to her when she was initially invited to play the role.

—

When you hear the name “Phoenix Rises,” you know it’s a major female lead drama. Wen Yu read the original work when she had some free time. It was a sprawling political intrigue drama of over a million words. The female lead was the most beloved daughter of the former emperor. However, the former emperor had no sons and was criticized by his ministers. In desperation, he contemplated adopting someone. The primary criterion for selection was that the person must be willing to treat his three daughters kindly. He even allowed the female lead to make the final decision, but unexpectedly, she chose not the gentle and handsome elder brother but a quiet and reticent child instead.

Certainly, here is the translation with spaces between the paragraphs:

Just as things were about to settle, a minister suddenly pressured the palace and rebelled, resulting in the death of the former emperor. In his dying moments, the former emperor left a decree, choosing the most outstanding child.

The female protagonist was still young and had no ability to resist. She was surrounded by people who wanted to harm her. During a fire in the palace, she took advantage of the chaos to escape, heard the truth, was discovered, and finally was thrown into the moat. She barely survived and was rescued.

As a result, she changed her identity and became the daughter of the magistrate of Xuzhou. She grew up successfully, excelling in both literary and martial arts, with considerable cunning. While accompanying the magistrate of Xuzhou back to the capital to report on his duties, she seized the opportunity to win over loyalists of the former emperor. However, she discovered that the once silent child had now become the top scholar in the imperial examinations, holding important positions in the court and earning the trust of the regent.

The female protagonist was deeply shocked. She had planned to seek revenge alone but unexpectedly found out on the way that the boy, now grown up, had not joined the rebels but instead had patiently collected evidence of their crimes.

So the two joined forces, along with others in the capital, to uncover the truth behind the rebellion controlled by the regent. With the identity of the daughter of the former emperor, she became the regent princess and supported a young member of the imperial family to become the new emperor. After stability was restored in the court, she decisively withdrew and traveled the world with her beloved.

The first draft script sent by the production team to Wen Yu has already weakened the female protagonist. Originally, her martial prowess and intelligence were on par with the male lead, but perhaps to highlight the sweetness of the romance, her martial prowess was reduced, and several scenes where she fought alone were changed to scenes where the hero rescues her.

Wen Yu laughed in disbelief after reading it. Little did she know that she would receive another version this morning, with even greater changes. The second male and second female leads were promoted, and their roles were made equal to those of the male and female leads. Some details that originally belonged to the main characters were also transferred to the second leads.

Everyone knows the intent behind this. Can Wen Yu endure it? Then she wouldn’t be Wen Yu anymore! She might as well directly declare the other party in breach of contract. She won’t film this drama. She’ll call up Sister Liu to terminate the contract!

Certainly! Here are the translated paragraphs with space between them:

The car stopped at the entrance of Xiangtian Entertainment.

Fortunately, “Phoenix Rising” is produced by Xiangtian Entertainment, and luckily this company is also in Beijing. Otherwise, Wen Yu would have to take a plane to find someone.

Once here, Wen Yu basically didn’t need to do anything.

Liu Jie, wearing high heels, clattered ahead, full of vigor, intimidating the receptionist girls, who immediately contacted their superiors.

But soon, the two were taken upstairs.

Along the way, they saw many handsome men and beautiful women. Even ordinary staff members had good looks and dressed well.

It’s no wonder it’s an entertainment company.

Wen Yu felt like her eyes weren’t enough.

Soon, the elevator doors opened too.

Liu Jie stepped out of the elevator first, and they saw a middle-aged man who seemed to be waiting for them. Liu Jie immediately put on a smile: “Producer Liu, hello.”

Producer Liu also smiled and said, “Hello, hello, is this Teacher Wen? Indeed, very beautiful.”

He looked at Wen Yu.

Wen Yu also greeted him.

Then Producer Liu said, “You’ve come at a good time. We’re just having our final script reading. Teacher Wen, you can join us. If you have any opinions, feel free to share. The whole crew will be heading to the film and television city tomorrow.”

Liu Jie glanced at Wen Yu and nodded.

Producer Liu immediately led the two to a nearby conference room. At this time, the conference room was full of people, one of whom was holding a pen and paper, writing on a mobile whiteboard. There were already various characters and arrows representing relationships drawn on it.

By now, the signed male lead, male second lead, female second lead, director, assistant director, and others were all here, and the room was packed.

Producer Liu acted as the introducer and introduced them. Then everyone in the conference room warmly greeted them.

Wen Yu politely responded to each one.

After the pleasantries, the director smiled and said, “Teacher Wen has finally arrived. Did you read the script we sent you this morning? Feel free to share any thoughts.”

Wen Yu remained silent, and Liu Jie timely stepped forward, smiling, “No need, we’re here to terminate the contract.”

Producer Liu’s face twitched in surprise, “Why terminate the contract?”

The people in the conference room were also surprised, except for the young man who was the male lead, who smiled but didn’t speak.

Liu Jie smiled gracefully, but there was a hint of mockery in her eyes, “Of course, because the role of the female lead has been drastically changed, nothing like what was originally agreed upon. Shall we endure it without terminating?”

This statement caused a commotion in the conference room, with some panic and embarrassment. Several people exchanged glances, and finally, Producer Liu dryly said, “If there are any objections, feel free to raise them. After all, the script can be adjusted at any time.”

“Yes, indeed,” the director chimed in.

Liu Jie smiled slyly, “So, you’re saying that turning a strong female lead who can stand on her own into a damsel in distress needing the hero to save her, drastically increasing the romantic plot that was originally minimal, changing political intrigue into a love story—all of this can be adjusted?”

Originally, the emotional entanglement of the four young characters only occupied a small part.

However, in the revised plot, with the added scenes for the male second lead and female second lead, the political intrigue part was suddenly reduced. It’s easy to imagine that it would end up being another romance and sweet drama dressed up as a political intrigue.

Naturally, Wen Yu and Liu Jie, who came specifically for the script, were not going to accept it.

Liu Jie was also firm, speaking very bluntly, not giving them any face.

Sitting in the middle, the screenwriter Hu Yucheng became more and more embarrassed, seeing the fire burning towards him. He stood up and said, “It’s like this, nowadays, the market likes—”

Wen Yu couldn’t help but sneer, “Is that so? Shall we conduct a market research to see if the book fans are happy with your changes?”

Hu Yucheng: “…”

Liu Jie said, “Let’s terminate the contract.”

Certainly! Here is the translation with spaces between the paragraphs:

Liu, the producer, was breaking out in cold sweat. Initially, he thought that since this group of people listened to him, they wouldn’t dare to ask for much from Wen Yu, especially since it was her first time as the female lead, and she hadn’t even said a word about the script yet.

Who knew they wouldn’t stay silent but would directly reveal their big move upon arrival?

As a producer, he naturally knew how the female lead role in this drama fell on Wen Yu’s shoulders. Now seeing her genuinely angry, he quickly appeased her: “There’s no need for this. Nothing’s set in stone yet. Terminating the contract will only cause trouble. We’ve already made it official, and everyone knows you’ll be playing the female lead. Your fans are also looking forward to it.”

Wen Yu smiled, “Then I request to restore the original as much as possible. Can you do that?”

Liu, the producer, didn’t say anything, subconsciously looking at the screenwriter and director, signaling to them.

The screenwriter, named Hu Yucheng, was quite reputable in the industry and had two hit dramas some years ago. He now had his own team, responsible for providing ideas while others wrote, with his name attached. However, he was famous for writing romance novels, so upon hearing Wen Yu’s request, he frowned, appearing displeased: “Ms. Wen, I understand you want to stay true to the original, but there are some original plot points that can’t be restored, and even if they were filmed, they might not be well-received.”

The director also tried to persuade her earnestly: “Moreover, TV dramas are meant to showcase actors. We can’t focus solely on the original. If other characters have minimal roles while you shine, won’t it be unfair to them?”

“Why are you saying this?” Liu, the producer, glared at him impatiently but then turned to Wen Yu and said, “Well, the thing is, this drama isn’t solely funded by our company; there’s also Qingye Entertainment…”

He glanced at the second male lead and second female lead.

Both seemed to realize something, awkwardly getting up and smiling tightly.

Most TV dramas are meant to showcase the main cast, but in this drama, there are mostly senior actors, with only a few young actors. If the script isn’t altered, and the acting skills of the second male lead and second female lead aren’t up to par, they might just end up making cameo appearances.

Ms. Liu looked at Wen Yu, unsure of her bottom line.

Wen Yu realized she had to make the decision herself but instead of stating her bottom line as Ms. Liu expected, she said directly, “Oh, if that’s the case, let’s terminate the contract.”

Everyone: “???”

Wen Yu smiled, looking beautiful yet assertive, and spoke without reservation, “I’ve already said terminate the contract. Can’t you just choose another female lead who’s willing to accommodate your script changes?!”

Everyone: “!”

Did they just waste all that time arguing for nothing?

The people in the room looked uneasy, especially Liu, the producer, who was filled with suspicion and anxiety. How could this lady be so difficult to deal with?! Could there be trouble ahead?

Suddenly, applause and a smirk filled with anger came from the door of the conference room: “Well said!”

Everyone looked over and saw a young man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, walking in. As soon as he appeared, the expressions of everyone subtly changed.

“Mr. Ye!” Liu, the producer, was the first to call out, looking both fearful and emboldened.

Mr. Ye?

Wen Yu curiously glanced over and found this man also very handsome, but more refined and delicate, especially with those peach blossom eyes that seemed even more affectionate than Jiang Yunjin’s acting.

His lips were rosy, and he smiled, with a dimple on one cheek.

He was also dressed in formal attire, but with his shirt collar open and sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Tall and with long legs, he leaned against the conference room door, his smile seeming gentle but actually indifferent, exuding a worldly-wise and aloof vibe.

“I entrust you all with this drama, and this is how you handle it?” Mr. Ye’s expression was cold as he looked at this group of people who made his stomach ache with anger. Catching sight of Wen Yu, who was curiously looking at him, made him even more annoyed. Was he losing face even to Jiang Yunyan’s little wife?!

Gritting his teeth, he said, “You’ve changed everything, and now you still want the original? Why don’t you write and direct it yourself if you’re capable!”

Finally, he looked at Hu Yucheng, smiling sarcastically:

“Mr. Hu, don’t you like writing your own scripts? Director Wang, do you dislike other romance dramas and only prefer turning political dramas into romance? And the two of you, does your company have no other dramas to promote, that you insist on taking a few scenes and wanting more screen time?”

Hu Yucheng, Director Wang, the second male lead, and the second female lead: “…”

Others: “…”

Wen Yu: “…” *chuckles*

Sure, here are the translated paragraphs with spaces between them:

Chapter 68

The scene once fell into an icy silence because of this sentence.

Damn, the god doesn’t like it.

How could a screenwriter not like their own script?

But it’s just that what they’ve written is not recognized by others, not appreciated. So they can only adapt existing popular novels.

Hu Yucheng’s face turned directly as dark as the bottom of a pot, but this person is his immediate superior, and he dare not speak up.

Director Wang was also unable to speak. Originally, he didn’t have much say in this circle. After all, in this industry, apart from famous directors, how many directors have a say? Especially since he is not a contracted director of this company.

The two lesser-known male and female actors blushed.

Their company can only temporarily obtain such original works that are not bad, have a fan base, and have a good team. After all, this project is going to Tian Entertainment, it’s an A-level script, but Tian Entertainment is not short of money, and an A-level script is also excellent.

So they thought of using this opportunity to give them more scenes, so that they could gain some popularity later on.

Ye Xiangtian didn’t care about their reactions. As the true boss of the company, he had the privilege to act recklessly. After venting for a while, he decisively said, “Spread the word, postpone the start of production, I’ll handle the rest.”

Producer Liu’s face turned green, but he didn’t dare to refute too obviously. He weakly said, “Mr. Ye, this drama is not just ours. There’s also Qingye Entertainment, Cherry Entertainment…”

They couldn’t really let their artists be sidelined, could they?

Ye Xiangtian lazily raised his eyes, “Oh, how much benefit did they offer you?”

Producer Liu: “!!!”

As soon as he heard this, Producer Liu instantly wilted, like a quail: “Okay, okay, I’ll spread the word, production will be postponed.”

Seeing him cooperate, Ye Xiangtian was slightly satisfied. He turned to look at Wen Yu, forcing out a smile: “…Don’t tell him about this!”

Wen Yu didn’t understand: “Are you referring to…?”

Before she could finish, Ye Xiangtian’s face was already tense as he said, “You just need to know, and also, no need to terminate the contract. The script will be reverted back, definitely to your satisfaction. Rest assured, I’ll let you know that Tian Entertainment is more powerful than Jiangshang Entertainment!”

After saying this in a brisk manner, he gestured, “Alright, I need to get to work. Please.”

Wen Yu: “???”

Sure, here are the translated paragraphs with space between them:

She and Sister Liu looked at each other, originally both determined to terminate the contract and not endure this anger, but now the situation keeps changing…

In Ye Xiangtian’s faintly pleading gaze, she still nodded: “Okay.”

Wen Yu accompanied Sister Liu downstairs, Ye Xiangtian breathed a sigh of relief, and even specially escorted her to the company’s entrance. After watching her get into the car, he sighed deeply, with a dark face, and turned back into the company.

He had originally handed over the script in passing, also wanting Jiang Yunyan to take a look. His company is currently supporting talents one after another, and the films they produce are all profitable.

However, trouble arose before it even started.

It infuriated him!

No wonder the recent reviews of the drama have been so-so. While the people are being promoted and money is being made, the reputation is not good. It’s probably related to the style of these people.

Fortunately, he managed to persuade Jiang Yunyan’s wife not to file a complaint!

—

After getting in the car, Wen Yu thought for a moment and sent a message to Jiang Yunyan: [Do you know Ye Xiangtian?]

Soon, she received a reply from Jiang Yunyan: [I know.]

[What happened?]

Wen Yu thought about Ye Xiangtian’s request, avoiding what happened on the company’s side: [Nothing much, how’s your relationship with him?]

Then Wen Yu received a voice message.

As soon as she opened it, the familiar deep voice of the man seemed even lower than in reality, and Wen Yu instantly remembered last night, when this voice had been calling her name in her ear.

She felt a warmth in her cheeks, momentarily lost in thought and didn’t catch what was said at the beginning. Reluctantly, she reopened it and understood the entangled grievances between these two people.

Ye Xiangtian is two years younger than him, roughly the same age, growing up hearing about his deeds similar to those of Xiao Qiyu and the others.

Jiang Yunyan has always been the child of someone else, a subject of comparison that many parents like, attempting to motivate their own children. Some choose to join when unable to surpass, like Xiao Qiyu, while others, like Ye Xiangtian, never accept it.

Jiang Yunyan ventured into the entertainment industry to gain experience, and coincidentally, Ye Xiangtian’s family had an old company, albeit on the decline. He chose to reorganize it under his name, challenging Jiang Entertainment directly.

However, he didn’t lose his rationality over dealing with Jiang Yunyan; during the development, he seized opportunities against them, like snatching investments or artists. He indeed had the capability, making Xiangtian Entertainment thrive, but Jiang Yunyan withdrew early to inherit the family business.

Holding a grudge, he intentionally fueled the hot search during the last car accident incident, putting the blame on Xiangtian Entertainment.

Knowing things weren’t as they seemed, sometimes life just feels owed.

She wanted to see Jiang Yunyan’s misfortune.

Wen Yu suddenly realized; perhaps this person presented the script to show that his company is better than Jiang’s or to convey something to Jiang Yunyan indirectly.

Unexpectedly, the team below was unreliable, thinking she lacked popularity, being the first-time lead, couldn’t resist probing. With multiple collaborations, each wanted to increase exposure for their own newcomers.

In this situation, only the lead role could be manipulated.

Wen Yu guessed their team felt secure due to Jiang Entertainment backing them, thinking Xiangtian Entertainment wouldn’t dare to oppose even if something happened.

Hence, they repeatedly tested the waters.

Contrary to expectations, the situation was not as they thought. Ye Xiangtian was obviously self-centered and proud, not resorting to such tactics even in competition. He felt embarrassed about such actions towards subordinates, especially in front of Wen Yu.

Taking advantage was for Wen Yu. If Ye Xiangtian was willing to rectify, the situation would probably be better than imagined.

The quality of a drama isn’t solely the fault of the screenwriter. Each company promotes people, screenwriters have their ideas, directors have their thoughts, and producers have their considerations.

To achieve a good outcome, a balance among these factors is essential.

Wen Yu doesn’t mind some embellishments, as long as they don’t harm the main plot.

Apart from that, she truly dislikes the god-level method of turning every drama into a sweet petting drama.

If the final result from Ye Xiangtian’s side is unsatisfactory, termination of the contract is certain. But for now, it’s fine; she can use the time to rest a bit more.

Sure, here are the translated paragraphs with additional space between them:

From leaving Xiangtian Entertainment, Wen Yu and Sister Liu went to eat first, around one o’clock in the afternoon, almost time for the meeting to start. The two hurried over, and by this time, a hundred fans were already waiting inside.

Because Wen Yu wasn’t short of money, and this hotel was their own, the arrangements were excellent. The air conditioning was sufficient, and there were fruit platters and other things for them to enjoy, making the atmosphere very comfortable. Therefore, this group of fangirls chasing stars was also very happy.

Wen Yu also hid backstage to secretly listen to what they were talking about. This feeling was really strange; in her previous life, she could never have imagined that so many people would like her. Because of the meeting, many people signed up. Even if the address was hundreds or thousands of kilometers away from where they were, they still eagerly came over just to see her for a few hours.

“This is the first time I’ve spent only the airfare to chase stars.”

“Me too, it was expensive to chase the stars from Xiuren before, Little Fish really doesn’t cost much, there are hardly any endorsements, sobbing…”

“The first time I wanted to spend money but had nowhere to spend, Little Fish is really good!”

Suddenly, a girl pointed to someone’s phone screen: “Wow, how do you have these photos?” Another person proudly said, “I hired a photographer to take them, sobbing, Little Fish is really good-looking! This photo hasn’t been edited, and the edited ones look like this…”

“There are still many dramas that haven’t aired yet, I really want photos of Little Fish as the Fox Demon, that’s the Fox Demon! It must be super good-looking!”

“I don’t have any, I can’t even get them from the photographer!”

Several girls gathered together, chatting away, and suddenly one girl said, “I have them!” Suddenly, she became the center of attention, and a group of people gathered around to look, then exclaimed in amazement, “So beautiful!”

“So gorgeous! Let me use this face in my next life, thank you!”

After seeing each one, they clamored for her to post it in the group. The girl reluctantly agreed, but still shared it, looking at the excitement in the group, she felt particularly satisfied: “Actually, I secretly took these when I went to be an extra, don’t post them online, so as not to give a bad impression of Little Fish to Director Lu…”

Speaking of this, suddenly someone asked, “Does Little Fish really have a boyfriend?” The girl looked puzzled, “I don’t know, I only acted as an extra for two days and then left.”

“Hey hey hey! There’s news, check Weibo!” someone exclaimed. Even in the noisy hall, it was exceptionally loud. Everyone immediately lowered their heads to look at their phones. Wen Yu, who was eavesdropping, also quickly took out her phone to check. What news? But it must be related to her.

Wen Yu opened it and saw that the top trending topic on Weibo was indeed about her, and the related keywords were — #Wen Yu, Ye Xiangtian# Wen Yu: “?” Just outside the company’s door for a while, and already being photographed? Ridiculous. Am I that famous?

Wen Yu was a bit stunned. Although she usually paid attention, she didn’t really think she was so famous that paparazzi would be constantly vigilant. And can rumors spread like this? She clicked on the trending topic and saw a video posted by a marketing account —— The video showed her entering Xiangtian Entertainment’s scene, then the footage switched to her being sent out by Ye Xiangtian, with him opening the car door for her. It didn’t seem like a big deal. However, the absurdity came next.

The video changed, showing another picture, which was a photo from yesterday when Jiang Yunyan came to pick her up, but this picture only showed his back, yesterday Sister Liu told her that there was no front view. However, at this moment, the video blogger actually compared the two pictures, same white shirt, same black trousers, same broad shoulders and narrow waist… The conclusion at the end —— This might be the same person.

Wen Yu: “???”

Wen Yu looked puzzled. The marketing account didn’t say much, possibly fearing the person behind Wen Yu. They only mentioned Ye Xiangtian’s good attitude, hinting at possible deeper collaborations in the future. However, savvy onlookers immediately speculated – Wen Yu’s mysterious boyfriend might be Ye Xiangtian. This added more excitement.

Everyone knew Wen Yu was backed by Jiangshang Entertainment. Now that she’s with the boss of a rival company, what would Jiangshang Entertainment think?
【Is it even true? Aren’t they at odds with each other?】
【I knew there had to be a reason why Wen Yu suddenly got involved with Xiangtian Entertainment.】
【Jiangshang Entertainment: I guess I’m the only one left with a big misunderstanding.】
【Uh-oh, exposed! What will Wen Yu do next?】
Wen Yu: …

She laughed.
And felt a bit sorry for Jiang Yunyan.

Luckily, as she scrolled down, she noticed others had also observed: 【These two look somewhat similar, but there’s a difference. In the previous photo, the height difference was greater. Also…】
This comment was replied to: 【Black clothes make you look slimmer. That photo was taken at night, making the figure look better, right?】

“Ha!” Wen Yu genuinely laughed this time.

—
However, it was soon two o’clock.

The host, already hyped up, announced Wen Yu’s entrance. Instantly, a hundred fans and several staff members cheered.
“Little Fish looks so beautiful!”
“Ah ah ah, Little Fish!”

Wen Yu, in a dress provided by the endorsed brand, with matching makeup, appeared on stage. Almost everyone took out their phones to snap pictures of her, especially since it was her event.

Wen Yu wasn’t great at handling such occasions, so the experienced host smoothly guided her. First, she greeted the audience, then they played a small game to break the ice.

Next was a giveaway session, including signed photos. Another game followed, leading to Wen Yu performing a dance she had practiced for days. During the dance, she changed into another outfit for fans to reminisce about a character from “Become You.”

This part was interactive. Guided by the host, everyone sat in a circle with Wen Yu in the center. She chatted with the fans, answering questions initially focused on her career. Slowly, the questions shifted to more personal topics, like her past relationships, favorite dates, and whether she would curse while gaming.

Then, a fan stood up, hesitating to ask. Wen Yu, understanding, said, “Do you want to ask about my relationship?” The fans murmured, a bit embarrassed but curious. The fan, eager, with the microphone, said, “We heard Ye Xiangtian has many girlfriends!” Wen Yu, silent for a moment, said, “He’s not my boyfriend.” Fans were surprised. Wen Yu smiled, “Of course, I’m not single either. We are each other’s first love, and he’s wonderful. I won’t lose in front of him.” Regardless of everything else, what she gained far exceeded what she gave.

Certainly, here’s the translation with spaces between the paragraphs:

“But it’s precisely because it’s too good that Wenyu is afraid, one day, she will become like those two in memory.

Of course, there’s no need to say this out loud.

She only needs to calmly acknowledge his existence.

Although a small part of the fans feels a bit awkward, those who can come here to see their idol are already dizzy and reluctant to say anything. Upon hearing, it’s all blessings.

After chatting, they continue to play games, not the small games for a few people this time, but games like “throwing the handkerchief” where everyone can participate.

Wenyu is also among them.

She thought they were all her fans and surely wouldn’t want to throw her.

But one by one, they caught her and threw her. When it was Wenyu’s turn to throw, they chased after her without any mercy. The girls just directly hugged her, and the boys, not daring to touch her, just tapped her shoulder since she loses every time.

Wenyu: “No sense of experience.”

But the fans are delighted, shouting, “Ah, it’s you again, Little Fish!”

“Little Fish, run fast! Hahaha!”

Wenyu: “You’re all fake fans!”

Forced to be caught, thrown again, and running, combined with being tired from last night, her face turned red, and finally, with no energy left, she sat down midway: “I’ll rest for a while.”

Fans: “Hahaha!”

As everyone is happily reveling and trying to persuade Wenyu to take a break, suddenly, a man in a support uniform sitting in the crowd rushes towards Wenyu.

——

That person is not far from Wenyu, about six or seven meters. Suddenly making a move, no one reacted in the first moment, as if he blinked and appeared in front of Wenyu.

At the same time, he shouts, “Little Fish! I really like you!”

“Little Fish, you’re mine—”

His expression is fierce, with a kind of excited obsession, wanting to touch Wenyu.

The fans immediately scream, drop their phones, and rush over to stop him.

Wenyu also didn’t expect this to happen, shocked, but the next second when the person pounced, she instinctively raised her leg to kick. Wearing sneakers for easy movement, it also made it convenient for her to hit him.

A kick to the face of the skinny man.

She used all her strength to kick.

“Ah!” The thin guy screams in pain, directly knocked to the side. Then a group of girls run over to hold him down. Staff and onlookers like Sister Liu and Xiaoyu also quickly approach.

The two help Wenyu up, and the staff take over the man from the fans, controlling the man who is still struggling to escape.

Fans who couldn’t get close shout anxiously, “Little Fish, are you okay?”

“Did Little Fish get hurt?!”

Taking advantage of the crowd, several fans angrily kicked the man a few times.

Is he crazy?

That man really seems crazy. He was silent before, looking shy, not attracting attention. But now, he keeps yelling, “Little Fish, I really like you. How can you like someone else?”

“You, an idol, are raised by fans. Why do you have the right to date?”

Certainly! Here’s the translation with space between the paragraphs:

Fans who couldn’t get closer shouted anxiously, “Xiaoyu, are you okay?”

“Did Xiaoyu get hurt?!”

Taking advantage of the crowd, several fans secretly kicked the man several times.

Is he crazy?

The man indeed seemed to have gone crazy. Previously silent and seemingly shy, he now kept yelling, “Xiaoyu, I really like you, how can you like someone else?”

“You, an idol, are supported by fans. Why do you have the right to date?”

Some fans got angry and started arguing with him, “Are you crazy? Xiaoyu never said she was single. Whether she dates or not is none of your business!”

Wen Yu, protected and not really harmed, thanked her earlier martial arts training during action scenes. Entering Director Lu’s crew involved many action scenes in the past three months, and her reflexes were impressive.

She hadn’t been injured.

She shook her head, “I’m fine.”

But her voice wasn’t audible enough in the noisy venue. Lao Yu asked Xiaoyu to take Wen Yu to the backstage, while she stayed to calm the fans. As for the man, she frowned and gritted her teeth, “Take him to the police station!”

“Yes, to the police station!”

“I have a video, do you need it?”

Lao Yu comforted the angry fans and had the man taken away, “Don’t worry, we won’t tolerate this. Thank you all. There are surveillance cameras in the hotel; no need to worry. It’s getting late, should we end the game here?”

“Alright, we understand.” The fans were reluctant to say anything.

As they started packing up to leave, Lao Yu stopped them, saying, “There’s one more thing. Since you all came from afar, Xiaoyu wants to treat you to dinner. Just wait here; someone will set up tables and chairs in a moment.”

The fans looked at each other, almost forgetting about this. They were touched and more concerned about Wen Yu, who had already gone backstage.

On the other side, Wen Yu was reassuring Xiaoyu, who was quite upset, “I’m really fine; he didn’t touch me at all.”

“Not just that,” Xiaoyu shook her head, “it’s my fault for not screening properly, picking a stalker.”

Wen Yu smiled wryly, “Who could have known? I already have stalkers?”

She admitted, “Besides, how skilled am I?”

Xiaoyu honestly nodded, “Impressive.”

Thanks to Wen Yu not being harmed, Xiao Yu felt relieved.

Xiaoyu worriedly said, “Are you really not afraid? You can go back first; there’s only one more event left, treating them to dinner. You don’t need to be here.”

Wen Yu shook her head again, “I’m really fine. I’ll go out, greet them, and accompany them for a while. They came from afar, and I remember most fans took planes or trains. We should make this meeting complete, right?”

Wen Yu insisted strongly, and Xiaoyu couldn’t argue further, so she gave in.

However, Wen Yu asked the makeup artist for a quick touch-up. After playing the game and going through the ordeal, she was a bit disheveled. A little touch-up would reassure the fans.

As Wen Yu went out, the staff had just set up the dining tables and chairs, and the fans also helped. Soon, the food was delivered.

Like a banquet, ten people per table, a total of twelve tables, including the staff, all eating together.

When Wen Yu went out, the fans immediately focused on her, asking with concern if she was okay. After receiving a negative answer, they relaxed.

It wasn’t until the food arrived that their attention shifted a bit.

Wen Yu also perked up, found a place to sit, and said, “Let’s eat, let’s eat. You’ve all been tired all day. Enjoy your meal!”

“Okay, thank you, Xiaoyu!”

“Eat more, Xiaoyu!”

The atmosphere here became lively as they started eating.

Meanwhile, the man who hastily came after hearing the news from the office arrived at the entrance of the second-floor banquet hall.

The banquet hall doors were tightly closed, and some sounds leaked through the cracks. It sounded lively, with many people, all of them her fans.

So… the fan meeting hadn’t ended yet.

The man’s thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his hand hesitated before pushing the door. Ultimately, he chose to make a phone call. When Wen Yu answered, she heard the man’s deep voice asking, “Are you okay? Did you get hurt?” She replied with a smile, asking if it was Sister Liu who informed him. After confirming, he continued speaking, but the conversation was abruptly interrupted by someone asking about being a fan and an electronic invitation card.

Jiang Yunyan’s voice turned cold, distant, and slightly resentful. He declined to enter without the invitation card. Wen Yu, surprised, quickly looked towards the door and saw his tall figure. She hadn’t given him an invitation card, finding it amusing yet feeling a strange twinge. She called out to him just as he seemed to leave.

Chapter 69:
Wen Yu didn’t expect Jiang Yunyan to be already there when she answered the phone. She briefly wondered why he didn’t call her first, but the thought passed quickly. No rule required him to be by her side immediately. Occasionally being late or not coming was normal. She hadn’t been harmed, yet he showed up directly. In that moment, she felt no sense of irrationality; instead, a trust in him. Reflecting on how fans mistook him for Ye Xiangtian, she couldn’t help feeling sorry for Jiang Yunyan. Despite fans assuming otherwise, it was always him.

After hanging up, she smiled at the fans, got on the stage, and said her goodbyes. Fans understood and bid farewell. Leaving the backstage, she saw the man waiting at the exit, just as expected. His tall figure faced her direction, composed and restrained, gazing at the banquet hall door with suppressed emotion. When she rushed towards him and embraced him, his handsome face showed surprise, bewilderment, and a hint of helplessness, asking why she came out so quickly.

温瑜’s heart became increasingly heavy. Did he think he would have to stay in there for a long time? Nevertheless, he remained here, waiting for her request.

She snuggled into his embrace, coquettishly saying, “Want to hug you.”

Jiang Yunyan’s eyes instantly turned cold, but his actions hugging her back were surprisingly gentle. “Were you scared?” he asked softly.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense to suddenly act so clingy. After all, this wasn’t home.

Warmly shaking her head, embracing the man’s slim waist, she suddenly felt a sense of acceptance, realizing she could have pulled away but had long been reluctant to do so. So, she often engaged in futile efforts.

Just like now, holding him, her heart settled as if fearless.

Even though she had resolved the issue herself and seemed fine, there was no psychological shadow left. After all, Wen Yu wasn’t a delicate flower raised with pampering; she grew up struggling alone after being abandoned by her parents.

In reality, holding Jiang Yunyan, Wen Yu suddenly discovered that she wasn’t fearless; she just hadn’t realized that she was still a bit afraid.

Wen Yu nodded immediately, tilting her head up, her eyes slightly red, and said with a sense of grievance, “Yes!”

“When he pounced on me, I was really startled. Luckily, I learned a few moves from the martial arts master, so I had some resistance. Otherwise, I would have been really scared…” She thought of that scene, not needing to be strong at this moment, feeling a bit scared and angry: “Is he crazy? I don’t ask fans to vote, don’t raise funds, and don’t need them to help tear resources. They follow me willingly, and I only endorse one product. Why do they say I’m not worthy of dating? Why…”

Jiang Yunyan looked deeply into her eyes, gently comforting her while listening to her complaints. When the babbling stopped, his eyes became colder, and he said calmly, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.”

Even if there was no actual harm caused, he had to teach the other party a lesson!

With assurance, Wen Yu felt relieved. She snuggled against him again, playfully reminding him, “Yunyan, we’re still outside.”

Wen Yu: “…”

No one had come yet!

Still, she let go, but before doing so, she bit his chest hard. Hearing his uncomfortable grunt, her smile brightened again, and she briskly pulled him out.

Outside the hotel, as soon as Wen Yu got into the car, she heard Jiang Yunyan say, “I have something to attend to; you go home first.”

Wen Yu: “?”

She frowned, seeing Jiang Yunyan’s serious expression, guessing what he was going to do, “Then come back soon.”

Jiang Yunyan nodded, “Okay.”

As the car door closed, watching the driver drive away, the man who had just been gentle with the young girl suddenly turned cold. He got into another car, instructing, “Go to the police station.”

Little Chen shivered silently, driving fast and steady, afraid of being too slow and adding fuel to the boss’s anger.

The car started moving, and Wen Yu first asked Sister Liu about whether they would encounter any private matters during the meeting. Currently, everything is calm, and the fans have been informed; there is no need to mention anything specific. Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Jiang Mom has been following their news online and would worry if she saw anything. However, since this matter hasn’t been exposed, and her upcoming opening ceremony has been postponed, there’s enough time.

Wen Yu said, “Uncle Wang, please take me to Jiang Yun Banquet.”

Uncle Wang replied, “Sure.”

The car quickly changed its route in another direction. Wen Yu also called Jiang Mom, saying she wouldn’t be going home tonight. Jiang Mom wasn’t surprised at all, smiling and saying, “Alright, no problem.”

After hanging up, Jiang Mom went to the kitchen and told the aunt that there’s no need to cook so much tonight. The aunt asked in surprise, “Why aren’t they coming back again? I even bought a lot of dishes, including small fish.” Jiang Mom mysteriously smiled, “It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s better if they don’t come back; I’ll have some peace.”

The smile on her face widened. Although she didn’t attend the fan meeting, she had been paying attention. Little Fish admitted the existence of the big brother for the first time, and his attitude was completely different from before.

Some kids in the group were unhappy, but the fans who attended the event comforted them: “Little Fish likes him a lot, and they are each other’s first love, how beautiful!” “The guy looks handsome, and that car looks expensive. Conditions must be extraordinary, not involved with other women, and it’s their first love. No need to be upset.” “Little Fish is not an idol; she’s an actress. It’s normal to date.”

Jiang Mom felt comforted watching this. Since Wen Yu isn’t coming back, she must be going to their little home. It’s normal for the young couple to stick together; not coming back is even better.

—

About half an hour later, the car passed by the entrance of the residential area, and Wen Yu saw a large chain supermarket. Suddenly, she remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and couldn’t bring herself to ask Uncle Wang to stop the car.

Regret surfaced in Wen Yu, but once determined, she couldn’t give herself a chance to regret. She gritted her teeth, opened her mouth, and suddenly had an idea. She opened her phone, ordered a bunch of things through takeout, including snacks and ingredients, found what she wanted, added it to the order, submitted the order, and paid.

Done in one go! After completing everything, Wen Yu’s face was flushed. The car also happened to stop; she hurriedly got off, bid farewell to Uncle Wang, and entered the apartment building.

Back home, her heart pounded as if returning to its place. Instead of going to her room, she lay on the sofa, eyes fixed, as if awaiting either a cruel punishment or a sumptuous meal.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Wen Yu quickly picked it up; it wasn’t the delivery, but a message from Jiang Yun Banquet: “What do you want to eat?”

For the first time, Wen Yu had no idea, typing: “Anything.”

Jiang Yun Banquet: “?”

Wen Yu continued to lie down, expressionless.

Certainly, here’s the text with added space between the paragraphs:

On the other side, Jiang Yunyan, who was waiting in the restaurant, furrowed his brows deeply, growing more disgusted with the person at the police station.

This was the first time the young girl showed no interest in food! Probably frightened now, and she hadn’t returned home; her mother couldn’t comfort her.

He hastily ordered two dishes, urging, “Hurry up.” Little Chen immediately followed the manager to expedite the serving of dishes. The speed was indeed fast; Jiang Yunyan’s ordered dishes weren’t extravagant. In just fifteen minutes, he left with a food container, and Little Chen promptly drove the boss home.

As the car stopped, the door opened, and the man left without turning his head. Until the room door opened, he saw the young girl lying on the sofa, seemingly absent-minded, not even playing with her phone.

His gaze changed slightly, quickly approaching, placing the food container down, and embracing her. “Is something wrong?” Wen Yu regained her senses, shaking her head, “No…” But… She had something on her mind, nervous, losing interest in everything.

Jiang Yunyan didn’t believe her, but seeing her silent, he didn’t press further, comforting her, “Brought your favorite fish-flavored eggplant, and…” He opened the food container, arranging the dishes as if he were going to feed her. Wen Yu: “…” She quickly declined, slightly gathering herself, taking the bowl and chopsticks, “I’ll eat on my own; big brother, you eat too.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yunyan observed her carefully, finding no signs of trouble between her eyebrows. Yet, he couldn’t decide if there was something bothering her. Both uneasy, they finished their meal, with Wen Yu heading to freshen up first.

Watching her retreating figure, Jiang Yunyan took out his phone, logged into Weibo, and started searching for related news. He immediately noticed a rumor: a certain female artist who had been trending multiple times today. The content clarified that the rumors were false, leaked by fans at a fan meeting, and Wen Yu personally denied being in a relationship with Ye Xiangtian.

Apart from that, there was nothing else. Leaving that trending topic, Jiang Yunyan continued scrolling until his gaze froze on another Wen Yu-related trend – #WenYu Drama Tyrant. Clicking into it, a marketing account claimed to have inside information: A certain female artist, who had trended several times today, held the script for a major leading role. She didn’t allow any changes or reasonable adjustments, resulting in firing a well-known screenwriter and possibly changing the director, causing delays in the start of filming.

No need for complex decryption; comments already guessed: [Is this Wen Yu’s phoenix rising? Heard about her claiming a leading role, came out of nowhere, suddenly shifted from a supporting role to the female lead, a significant one too, truly capitalizing on her status.] [Laughing so hard, trending multiple times today, isn’t it Wen Yu? She just keeps buying trends, first a rumor, then a real boyfriend, and now she’s a drama tyrant?] [Just lost the little goodwill she had gathered; indeed, having status is impressive.] [Hu Yucheng was the screenwriter, right? I remember the official announcement was him. Wow, really liked his work, didn’t expect it to change; what a pity.]

As expected, it was because of this incident. The young girl now enjoyed acting a lot and had never used her influence to grab resources. Being wrongly accused now must be tough for her.

His face looked grim; he went to the balcony and called Ye Xiangtian, the tone icy, “What’s going on with the script you sent over?” Ye Xiangtian, who hadn’t checked the trending topics yet: “!!!” Ah ah ah! Wen Yu didn’t keep her word! She said she wouldn’t complain! But now, being questioned, he felt a bit guilty, “Don’t worry, I’ve changed the team, both director and screenwriter. I won’t let your little wife suffer. This time was my mistake; I didn’t handle it well. If you want to laugh, go ahead.” Jiang Yunyan: “?”

Certainly! Here’s the text with space between the paragraphs:

He frowned, “Has she been wronged? What injustice has she suffered?”

Ye Xiangtian: “???”

After a brief confusion, he explained the events of the morning, emphasizing that he had already reprimanded the group and was not an ineffective boss.

Realizing his mistake, he asked, “How do you know about this?”

Jiang Yunyan coldly said, “It’s trending. They say Little Fish challenges the script, doesn’t let the writer make reasonable changes, and wants all the attention on her…”

After hearing this, Ye Xiangtian’s face turned green. Warm Yumo didn’t complain; it was a plot trap!

Although Ye Xiangtian was furious, it was too late in the evening to confront them. He dryly said, “I will explain this matter. I apologize. I’ve already decided; please join the writing team, and there won’t be any more complaints—”

Jiang Yunyan interrupted, “Not enough.” He said sternly, “I will invite Mr. Yu Zong to personally revise this script.”

“Yu Zong?!” Ye Xiangtian exclaimed, “Isn’t he retired?”

Yu Zong, once a genius screenwriter in the entertainment industry, excelling in various captivating scripts, whether political intrigue, crime, ghosts, or romance.

He was considered the top screenwriter in the entertainment industry, but he stopped writing due to a creative block three years ago, and there has been no news since.

Many production teams tried to entice him with hefty sums, even just for a name, offering him 20 million for the name alone, but he refused.

Before retiring, he collaborated most with Jiang Entertainment.

“You can really get him?!” Excited, Ye Xiangtian, a fan of Yu Zong, said, “If you can, I’ll upgrade this project to S+!”

With him and the original author, it would be unbeatable!

“Okay, I’ll visit him tomorrow.” Jiang Yunyan affirmed.

Tears of envy filled Ye Xiangtian’s eyes, “Alright, then I don’t need to struggle to find a writer!”

Jiang Yunyan wasn’t interested in such matters. After resolving the issue, he hung up without further ado.

Just as Ye Xiangtian was about to ask about Yu Zong, he heard a polite farewell and then the silent beep of the call ending.

Solved a personal matter, Jiang Yunyan also relaxed, sat for a while, enjoyed the cold wind, and his cold expression softened before entering the room.

At this time, Wen Yu had already finished washing and was lying on the bed, covering half of her face with the blanket. Her long hair scattered on the pillow, and her eyes were tightly closed, losing the lively charm of the daytime and gaining a quiet and obedient demeanor.

Sleeping so early, is it because of something troubling online? A hint of tenderness flashed in Jiang Yunyan’s eyes as he entered the bathroom quietly.

Shortly after, he came out, gently lifting the blanket and lying down. As soon as he lay down, a soft body nestled into his arms. He instinctively raised his hand, embracing her, soothingly patting her back, “Not asleep yet?”

“No…” Wen Yu shook her head in a sticky manner, half leaning on the man. Her eyes, already open, blinked twice. Suddenly, she found that he had patted her like comforting a child, and then there was no movement?

She was somewhat puzzled, thought for a moment, slightly raised her head, lifted her head forward, and rubbed against his, planting a kiss on his chin.

“Hmm?” The man made a sound, lowering his head to look at her. In the dim light, despite being so close, his face was not clear. Ironically, at this moment, the atmosphere seemed suddenly ambiguous. Wen Yu’s breath tightened, and she saw him lower his head, a kiss landing on her lips.

Just when Wen Yu wanted to deepen the kiss, he casually moved away, “Go to sleep.”

Wen Yu: ?

Refusing to believe it, she leaned over again.

Jiang Yunyan cooperated and kissed her again, this time lasting a bit longer. Just when it was about to get intense, he moved away again, clearing his throat, “Be good, you’re tired today, sleep early.”

Wen Yu: ??

Finally, this time she didn’t bow to desire but to her own heart, thinking of devouring him. She even prepared for it, but he unexpectedly held his ground?!

In that moment, Wen Yu’s mind was suddenly filled with countless possibilities, but her rationality knew Jiang Yunyan wouldn’t act as she feared. Even if their emotions were gone, he wouldn’t do such things. He had always been a disciplined person.

Thinking about the past before marriage, Wen Yu’s heart sank. They both tacitly avoided discussing these matters now, as if they had forgotten, much like their first-anniversary celebration.

However, if she wanted a future with him, certain things needed clarification; otherwise, her current rationality might not endure future uncertainties.

To avoid further internal conflicts, Wen Yu silently turned away from the man, shoulders trembling. Sensing something wrong, he quickly opened his eyes: “Xiao Yu?”

Before he could speak, Wen Yu had turned into sobs. The man, unable to hold back, leaned over, hugged her tightly, and whispered, “What’s wrong? Is it still about the trending topic? I’ve already had it removed, and Ye Xiangtian’s side too…”

“Or is it about the meeting before? I’ve been to the police station; that person is an illegitimate child and was manipulated. The police have sorted it out. Tomorrow, you’ll see the results…”

Amid her tears, Wen Yu mumbled, “?”

She almost got stuck.

But she quickly steadied herself, shook her head immediately, and, with a sudden sob, cried even harder, “It’s not about these, sniff… Big Brother, do you not like me? Were you forced to marry me back then?”

Jiang Yunyan, with an anxious expression, interrupted her words, sat up, embraced her, lifted her face, and made her look into his eyes.

Even though he knew the girl’s emotions were likely exaggerated, perhaps she had already been troubled by these thoughts, he gazed at the tearful girl seriously, saying, “I don’t dislike you, and I was never coerced. Our marriage was voluntary.”

Wen Yu pouted, looking at him with teary eyes. When she heard his words, her already watery eyes widened as if in disbelief, her slightly open mouth more pronounced.

Looking pitiful and adorable.

The man couldn’t resist and kissed her lips, repeating in a low voice, “I admit our initial motives for marriage weren’t ideal, but I was never forced, and no one could force me.”

Everything was his choice.

Even though at that time, he had no romantic feelings for the girl.

So, there was no need to feel guilty or uncomfortable about it.

This time, Wen Yu avoided him. She accused, “But you clearly said at that time, marriage is okay, and I can have everything except emotions!”

“Uh…” The man pondered for two seconds, pinched her equally red nose in the gradually angry gaze of the girl, and said, “I take that back; some things indeed were unexpected.”

Like the absurd incident he heard about between Ajin and her, he originally planned to send food through Xiao Chen. If not for the online public opinion, he wouldn’t have left work to go there in person.

What he unexpectedly saw was a person completely different from his memory.

Vivid and lively, like a puppet that suddenly gained a soul, making him unable to divert his gaze.

And that change was not just a momentary surprise.

Again, her soul seemed to wake up completely, becoming even more radiant, making it impossible for him to look away.

Wen Yu was stunned at his words. Through crying, she revealed the least mentionable thing hidden in her heart, wanting to clear things up, as keeping it inside would create complications.

But she unexpectedly got this answer.

Turns out, he wasn’t forced from the beginning.

The words he said back then had to be taken back now.

Suddenly, her chest stung a bit. Wen Yu realized her pajamas were untied, and this time, there was no blanket. Everything seemed exposed in the sunlight.

Embarrassed, she hurriedly blocked the man’s unrestrained big hand, “Big Brother, didn’t you say it’s time to sleep?!”

Besides, even if they wanted to do something, the night light hadn’t gone out yet!

Certainly, here’s the text with spaces between the paragraphs:

“Moreover, even if that’s the case, the night lamp hasn’t gone out yet!

The man directly blocked her lips, and she instinctively leaned back, but a big hand blocked her way. It seemed like her breath was being plundered, with none of the previous gentle and subtle touches, replaced by a surge that made her tongue tingle.

“Um!” Wen Yu couldn’t breathe, and her hands instinctively pushed away, but they lost strength on his shoulder.

When she came to her senses again, the person had already been laid down.

The man moved away slightly, lightly biting her neck, and said in her ear, “Originally, I thought Xiao Yu was in a bad mood, so I let you sleep early.”

But he got it wrong.

What really upset her was apparently the conversation between the two before getting married?

He, who was not proficient in matters of men and women, knew that it was not the time to sleep early.

Thinking this, the man squinted his eyes, completely losing his calm composure.

“Big brother?” Wen Yu nervously called out.

“Yeah, I’m here.” The man’s voice became hoarse, and his big hand became more unrestrained. He stared at the little girl in front of him who gradually revealed a trace of timidity.

Wen Yu was shocked, her whole body tense, looking at him pitifully with watery eyes, but the red ends of her eyes were unclear whether she was pleading with him or accusing him.

The excessive excitement made her dizzy until, seemingly at the critical moment, the man suddenly withdrew slightly.

She woke up and was about to remind him.

Only to see him stretch out his sturdy arm, open his drawer, and take out something familiar from the corner.

Wen Yu: ?

How come he has it too?!

As if seeing her surprise, he said, “I prepared it when I came back last time.”

Just went to pick someone up after work yesterday and didn’t have time to come back and get a box.

Saying that, the man lowered his head and kissed her, coaxing, “Be good, close your eyes.”

Wen Yu also felt uneasy and quickly closed her eyes, only hearing the sound of plastic being torn open. After a while, a sudden pain made her breath suddenly stagnate. In panic, she opened her eyes and found the man in front of her was also frowning, a blush rising on his handsome face, and veins bulging on his forehead due to restraint.

“Don’t be afraid,” he whispered, but his breath was unusually heavy.

Then he exerted a little force again. %思%兔%網%

“Pain…” Wen Yu’s face gradually turned pale, the blush from just now quickly fading away, and her whole body muscles tightened again.

The man’s eyes darkened, and he whispered, “Relax.”

Wen Yu hesitated but took a deep breath. Suddenly, in the next moment, he attacked again.

This time, he left no room for mercy.

Wen Yu:!

Her exclamation was blocked, and she tightly pinched the man’s strong arm, her nails sinking into it.

Fortunately, it was only this one time. The man didn’t continue his actions. The intense kiss gradually became gentle and lingering as the two relaxed, until it seemed habitual, and he cautiously moved again.

During this time, he kept watching Wen Yu.

If she frowned, he immediately stopped to comfort her, and if her brows relaxed, he intensified his efforts.

Only at the end did he seem to lose control a bit. The force surged, causing Wen Yu to succumb repeatedly, only able to passively endure.

When everything settled down, Wen Yu thought it was over.

She couldn’t help but feel fortunate that she had saved her breath.

Suddenly, the sound of the drawer opening and closing rang again. Her heart tightened, and then the man’s low voice came in her ear, “Xiao Yu shouldn’t be sleepy yet, right?”

Wen Yu: “Sleepy—um…”
