The Villainess Awakens After Marrying the Male Lead’s Brother 61
Chapter 61
Jiang Yunyan was coaxed away. Wen Yu trotted a few steps, suddenly feeling a cramp in her stomach, so she slowed down her pace.
Calculating, it seems like these past few days are her menstrual period? But she’s too lazy to keep track; it’s always Xiaoyu who helps calculate and prepares sanitary pads in advance.
Just… she ate a bit too much today because it’s cold. I wonder if it will come early? Muttering to herself, Wen Yu decided to hurry up and finish shooting.
Without Jiang Yunyan standing there, the male actor in the scene didn’t feel uncomfortable. The shooting went smoothly. When the antagonist tried to bully the younger sister, she fought back desperately, activating the celestial fox bloodline and successfully killing the opponent.
It was also a big scene, and it was a rather brutal fight scene. Wen Yu’s shooting went relatively smoothly, but for the sake of aesthetics and strength, they still had to repeat the scenes continuously, while also keeping up with the emotions.
Her character is different from the female lead; she is a primitive demon, untouched by human thoughts, and shows no mercy when killing humans or demons. She has to be ruthless and cold enough to express her attitude.
Although Wen Yu didn’t know how much footage would be left after all this hassle, she still tried to do her best. However, because of this, there were many scenes of falling and fighting in this scene.
When all the shots were done, it was already dark. Wen Yu was already tired to the point of soreness in her limbs. Xiaoyu came over to support her and noticed a small cut on the back of her hand, which she got from falling on the ground just now.
Fortunately, this is set in ancient times, and she is wearing layers of clothes. Only a little bit of her arms and knees are exposed, so the wound isn’t too bad, just a bit bruised.
Xiaoyu was already accustomed to this situation, so after escorting her to the dressing room, she went to fetch the small medicine box. Wen Yu had just removed her makeup and changed back into her own clothes. She felt relieved. She was used to wearing loose short-sleeved pants and an extra coat in cold weather.
This was her most common attire in her past life, but in this life, she initially dressed more elegantly. Until the acting roles became heavier.
She didn’t have the mood for dressing up anymore. Just being neatly dressed was good enough. In winter, she wished she could just wear this pajama to the set.
After changing her clothes, Xiaoyu came over to apply medicine to her. After applying all the ointments and iodine, Wen Yu got up and left. Just as she walked out of the dressing room, she hesitated for a moment, glanced at herself in the mirror, and hesitated about whether to put on makeup or not?
But after some thought, she gave up. Her makeup skills weren’t great, and putting on lipstick without foundation wasn’t ideal. Plus, the people in the car had been waiting for a long time!
Thinking of this, Wen Yu hurriedly ran out. Xiaoyu didn’t even chase after her: “Boss, then I’ll take our car.”
“Okay.” Wen Yu waved her hand and reached the car door.
Just as the car door opened from the inside, Wen Yu immediately jumped in, but missed, leaving only Xiao Chen inside grinning: “Madam, please.”
Wen Yu: “?”
She frowned, about to ask.
Xiao Chen quickly explained: “The boss went back early, said he’d cook for you. What do you want to eat? Tell the boss now, and it’ll be ready when we get back.”
Wen Yu was speechless, not even angry yet, but already amused, casually saying, “Using the hotel’s kitchen again?”
Xiao Chen shook his head: “No, this time we borrowed the Moon Pavilion’s.”
“This can also be borrowed?” Wen Yu was astonished.
She heard this shop was quite aloof.
It followed a high-end route, and even the last time they delivered breakfast to her was surprising enough.
Xiao Chen looked strange: “You don’t know?”
Wen Yu blinked: “Should I know?”
Xiao Chen immediately smiled and explained: “The Moon Pavilion belongs to the second boss.”
The second boss? Jiang Yunjin?
Wen Yu looked suspicious: “I remember this shop has been here for many years.”
Xiao Chen said, “The second boss just came here to film, felt that this shop had a good taste, but it was declining, so he bought it and asked our boss to help hire someone to reorganize it.” He paused and added, “But the second boss didn’t tell anyone, mainly afraid that if he did, it wouldn’t be profitable. After all, the customers coming and going here all know each other.”
Wen Yu: “…”
Impressive.
No wonder a few days ago, on her birthday, Jiang Yunjin directly gave her a card with ten million in it. He wasn’t just filming, he was quite good at business too.
But this talent was normal. In the book, Jiang Yunyan had an accident, which greatly affected his parents. Jiang Yunjin took over the situation, and although the Jiang family was in turmoil for a while, he managed to suppress it, showing impressive leadership.
Suddenly, she remembered the plot in the book where Jiang Yunyan died, and Wen Yu’s heart tightened, even her abdomen twitched.
Her complexion changed slightly, carefully feeling, it should be fine, then she relaxed, stopped chatting, urged Xiao Chen to drive quickly, and casually placed her order for tonight.
These days of filming were too tiring, her appetite wasn’t as good, she had lost weight. She could indulge a bit. She ordered: [Big Brother, I want to eat chicken cutlet, boiled fish slices, spicy diced beef…]
Jiang Yunyan: [Can you finish all that?]
Wen Yu: [Can I share some with your younger brother?]
[Cat rolling.jpg]
On the other end, the man who was heading to the kitchen glanced at his phone, chuckled lightly, and typed: [Sure.]
Wen Yu immediately took advantage: [The diced beef should be extra spicy and numbing!]
Since she was indulging herself, she had to go all out. Her period was coming soon, she had to watch her diet during that time, so she wanted to have a taste before it fully arrived.
However, the next moment, she saw someone’s cold reply: [No.]
Wen Yu suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart, stared at her phone, and didn’t reply.
The person who had planned to start cooking suddenly found their phone silent, feeling surprised. They took out their phone again and made a call to the little girl who was probably already angry. Sure enough, as soon as the call connected, they heard a sobbing voice on the other end saying, “Why are you still calling? Didn’t you say I couldn’t eat?”
Across the phone, her voice remained sweet, especially with her probably improved acting skills, making her crying sound more authentic. In the slightly noisy corner of the kitchen, Jiang Yunyan’s eyes softened with a touch of helpless affection as he softly said, “It’s not that I won’t let you eat, it’s just that eating too heavily flavored food isn’t good.”
His deep and gentle voice, already pleasant, was even more melodious and soothing when coaxing someone, as if it were a serene ancient melody with a hint of electric current, transmitting through the phone line into Wen Yu’s ears.
Her crying paused for a moment, and it seemed like a tingling sensation ran through her ear pressed against the phone, causing her shoulder to involuntarily tense up.
The initially strong-willed attitude seemed to soften quite a bit at that moment.
Fortunately, Wen Yu quickly regained composure and lamented, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, big brother. I was just feeling a bit down and wanted to treat myself to something I’ve been craving. But what you said makes sense, I’ll listen… Ah, my heart still feels uncomfortable right now…”
Jiang Yunyan patiently inquired, “Why does your heart feel uncomfortable? Is someone bullying you?”
“Yes,” Wen Yu replied decisively.
The driver, Xiao Chen, felt a jolt in his forehead, instinctively pressing the accelerator a bit more before quickly easing off, maintaining a steady speed.
Jiang Yunyan’s voice also changed slightly, “Who?”
“You!” Wen Yu answered.
Certainly, here is the text with some space between the paragraphs:
Jiang Yunyan: “…”
Xiao Chen: “…”
Upon hearing the deafening silence from the other side, Wen Yu immediately began to complain tearfully, “Just now, I was afraid you’d been waiting too long, so as soon as I finished work, I hurried to remove my makeup without even having time to put it on, and came straight over. But when I got in the car, you weren’t there!”
“Ah, you definitely don’t understand the sadness of being stood up, unlike me, my tears of sadness have already come out. Don’t believe me? Ask Xiao Chen.”
With that, Wen Yu handed the phone over, saying, “Xiao Chen, you tell him.”
Xiao Chen: “Yes! The boss lady was so happy just now, but as soon as she got in the car, her smile disappeared!”
After speaking, Xiao Chen pursed his lips guiltily and focused even more on driving.
He wasn’t really lying, was he?
Meanwhile, Wen Yu was already satisfied and took back her phone, saying, “Are you being too much?! Should I be upset? Have you been bullying me?!”
“I’m sorry.” The man on the other end of the phone apologized quickly and very cooperatively, “There won’t be a next time. What can I do so Xiao Yu won’t be upset?”
A mischievous smile played on Wen Yu’s lips, and she instantly toned down her sorrowful voice, leaning back slightly and whispered, “Brother, I want a kiss!”
Since it had come to this, with the real person being frivolous so many times, her courage had grown significantly.
Since Jiang Yunyan didn’t mind, she could take advantage of the situation.
If spicy words and actions weren’t effective, she’d have to find another approach.
Meanwhile, upon hearing the voice on the phone, a faint blush spread across the man’s cheeks, and he coughed lightly, his deep voice becoming huskier, “Wait till we get back.”
“No!” Wen Yu refused, “Over the phone!”
“Xiao Yu…”
Wen Yu whispered, “Then how about adding extra spice to the beef cubes you gave me?”
Jiang Yunyan: “…”
Two minutes later, the man who had finished the call in the corner of the kitchen returned to his position expressionless.
However, the restrained blush on his handsome face startled the kitchen assistants waiting there, almost prompting one of them to ask if the boss was sick with a fever.
Fortunately, before he could speak, a cold gaze swept over from the man, and he didn’t dare to make a sound.
It was this man who had just been calm and composed but now seemed like he had lost his soul. He intended to marinate the beef cubes, but ended up mistaking salt for sugar, and the chicken cutlet hadn’t even been fried yet when it was cut into pieces. After cutting it, he froze, and so did the kitchen assistants.
Finally, one of the kitchen assistants weakly suggested, “Should I call our chef to help you?”
The man pursed his lips, his stern face becoming even more unapproachable, but he still shook his head,
“No need.”
He went to the restroom decisively, splashed cold water on his face, thoroughly calming himself down before returning to the kitchen.This time, his actions were smooth and swift, leaving the kitchen assistants dumbfounded. Such a wealthy boss actually cooks by himself?!”
The car drove out into this wilderness, speeding up.
Receiving a kiss over the phone, Wen Yu, who was also blushing, eagerly awaited the delicious food.
However, as they neared the urban area, her complexion became increasingly strange.
Until they arrived at the hotel entrance.
Wen Yu was already anxious, and as soon as the car stopped, she immediately put on her coat, greeted Xiao Chen, and ran off, leaving Xiao Chen scratching his head and feeling full of admiration.
No wonder the boss loves to cook at home so much now.
With such a supportive person, the one cooking must feel so relieved.
Look at her running so fast for the sake of a meal.
However, in reality… Wen Yu, who was rushing back to change clothes, looked a bit pale.
Her health was fine, and she didn’t experience much pain during her period, usually just some backache and discomfort on the first or second day, and her current condition was a bit more severe than usual, but it was still manageable.
Unfortunately, on this side of the film and television city, there were paparazzi everywhere, ready to take photos at any time.
If she were caught or seen because of a leak, it would be truly embarrassing and shameful.
Fortunately, the jeans she was wearing were quite thick, and she rushed all the way back to the floor where her room was located.
Just as she arrived, she bumped into Jiang Yunyan, who was carrying a food box.
At this moment, he was holding a food box in one hand and swiping her room card with the other, and when he saw Wen Yu, there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.
“Big brother!” Wen Yu exclaimed in surprise. “You’re back already? Did you get the card?”
Jiang Yunyan glanced at her, shook his head, and with a stern expression, said, “No.”
The door opened, and he let Wen Yu enter first.
Wen Yu slipped in and immediately went to the closet to find some clean clothes, telling Jiang Yunyan, “I’m going to take a shower first.”
“Mm,” Jiang Yunyan responded, not paying much attention, and instead looked around the room, which was still as messy as before. He managed to find a place to put the food box, then rolled up his shirt sleeves and started tidying up.
First, he tidied up the clothes piled on the sofa, separating the worn ones from the unworn ones.
Then, he cleaned up the coffee table, desk, and other areas. Although he didn’t see any takeout boxes, there were still quite a few scraps of trash scattered around.
Especially various facial masks scattered around, making it look even messier.
Jiang Yunyan was used to doing these things. He had been taking care of himself since he was very young, living with his grandfather, and later living alone when he went to college. He also started cooking by himself and had a bit of OCD, accustomed to keeping the house tidy.
Before long, the messy room became tidy.
Estimating the time it would take for Wen Yu to shower, Jiang Yunyan glanced over in that direction.
At a glance, his expression froze, then quickly turned away, the blush that had just disappeared quickly reappearing.
He didn’t know why the hotel was designed like this, with the bathroom being semi-transparent frosted glass. At a glance, you could almost see the movements and outlines of the person inside!
His thoughts suddenly became chaotic, and scenes he had accidentally seen just now uncontrollably flashed back.
For the first time, Jiang Yunyan began to regret having such a good memory.
He awkwardly tugged at his collar, fiddled with it a bit, unbuttoned two buttons, and finally felt his breathing ease up a bit.
The sound of water seemed to stop, and Jiang Yunyan pursed his lips, placing the food box on the coffee table. This position was good, by the window, with good lighting, and he couldn’t see the bathroom.
After a while, he faintly heard the rustling sound, probably Wen Yu getting dressed.
Only then did he open the food box.
When Wen Yu emerged from the isothermal bath, she smelled the pungent aroma filling the room. This work is provided by Sihu Rabbit Network for online reading. She took a deep breath, savoring the delightful scent. She liked it!
“Big brother!” Wen Yu happily called out. After taking a shower, she felt very comfortable now, feeling refreshed all over, and her backache was much relieved. Perhaps eating ice-cold watermelon at noon caused her to feel more turbulent on this first day than before. Fortunately, she could lie down after eating later. Her mood was still good, but the man facing away from her just responded softly, “Hmm.”
Wen Yu felt puzzled, sensing something was wrong. Although Jiang Yunyan was not usually a man of few words, he rarely seemed so indifferent, right? Not even turning his head? Or was it because of that phone call? Wen Yu also felt uneasy. When he wasn’t around, she felt bold, but now that he was right in front of her, and Jiang Yunyan remained as restrained and calm as ever, she felt offended.
Wen Yu didn’t speak anymore and sat down. There was a round glass coffee table with four chairs. The two of them sat facing each other. She immediately looked at the dishes, and they had everything she wanted! Especially the boiled fish, with its spicy aroma, was particularly appetizing. He handed her a pair of chopsticks.
Wen Yu took them, then looked up in surprise, “Big brother, why is your face so red? Can’t you handle spicy food?” Jiang Yunyan’s skin was still fair, mainly because most of the time he spent exercising in the morning or in the office or car, without much exposure to the sun. Therefore, any change in his complexion was very noticeable. For example, on her last birthday, the blue under his eyes was still very obvious the next day.
He had a handsome face, but his perennial seriousness made his face seem especially stern. However, the appearance of a blush on his cheeks at this moment was evident at a glance. “I can handle spicy food,” the man paused slightly in his movements, glanced at her lightly, and said seriously, “Let’s eat.”
“Oh,” Wen Yu muttered, picking up a piece of sliced chicken and taking a bite. The skin was crispy, and the inside was tender and delicious. After marinating, the meat was also very flavorful. The boiled fish was even more delicious, although it had a bit too much oil and was covered in chili peppers. In the redness of the peppers, she found the fish, and when she picked it up, the fish meat seemed to tremble slightly, enveloped in the fresh and spicy taste, without any thorns. Of course, the most delicious dish was the spicy beef cubes. The beef used was already
Of course, the most delicious one has to be the spicy diced beef. The beef itself is of high quality, the spicy flavor is even better than boiled fish, and the texture is soft and tender…
Wen Yu’s thoughts drifted for a moment, and inadvertently raised her eyes, landing on the lips of the person in front of her. Today, most of the dishes she chose are spicy. Jiang Yunyan dines very calmly at the Jiang Yun Banquet, but his usually pale lips have deepened in color. It’s very much like the scene she saw when she left the airport that day.
Sensing her gaze, the man’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and he looked over, asking, “What’s wrong?” Wen Yu quickly lowered her head, sighing. It’s all because Jiang Yunyan looks too good, always making her unable to help but daydream. Especially that glance just now, she noticed that Jiang Yunyan’s shirt had somehow unbuttoned two buttons, the white collar was open, gathering towards the middle, as if accentuating those handsome collarbones. Wen Yu still remembered biting there before. Just a few days ago. I wonder if there are any traces left?
Thinking like this, she glanced over again. Jiang Yunyan’s skin was fair too, especially below the neck where it hadn’t seen much sun, so if there was anything, it would be particularly noticeable. She forgot to check last time, but now, she saw smooth skin. Wait… on his left collarbone, there seemed to be a small mole, very small, but especially conspicuous on his fair collarbone.
“Xiao Yu,” Jiang Yunyan’s voice slightly deepened, as he served her a piece of beef, “Eat first.” Wen Yu: “…” Found out! Definitely! Sob, sob, sob. Even in this situation, he’s not angry, just reminding her to eat. Now Wen Yu is completely afraid to be reckless, burying her head to eat. But she didn’t see the man who just calmly reminded her, the muscles that had tense up quietly relaxed a bit, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Call her shy, she easily blushes. But sometimes she’s unusually bold. Just now, her gaze seemed to land substantively on his open collar, and he could clearly feel it, even just because of her gaze, he felt a bit restless. But whether to eat or not, he still needed to eat. Fortunately, the little girl listens to advice.
Jiang Yunyan watched the little girl eat heartily and handed her a piece of chicken steak, saying, “Eat slowly, no rush.”
Wen Yu: “…”
Is he trying to calm her down?
Wen Yu bit her lip. If it were something else, she would have asked directly, but this matter, she wasn’t quite sure how to broach, mainly because she was the one who initiated it… with her eyes.
Wen Yu could only continue eating.
Luckily, the food was delicious, so she was still happy.
After finishing a bowl of rice, there wasn’t much food left.
Jiang Yunyan finished up, and Wen Yu helped tidy up. After everything was cleaned up, she wiped her hands with a wet tissue and wanted to leave, eager to sleep before social death caught up with her!
However, just as she was about to leave, her wrist was grabbed by the man sitting there.
Wen Yu turned her head and saw him suddenly smiling, exerting a little force on her hand. Without resistance, Wen Yu was brought over. Stumbling a bit, she ended up sitting directly on his lap, her body leaning back, falling into the awaiting embrace.
She wasn’t too petite, standing at 1.65 meters tall, which was decent, but she had a small frame and just the right amount of flesh in the right places.
The man behind her was tall and well-built. Wen Yu only reached his shoulder. He was also into sports usually, and now with both arms around her, Wen Yu felt completely enveloped by him, sinking entirely into his embrace.
– Completely sinking into his embrace.
He lifted his hand to stroke Wen Yu’s long hair, while the other hand held her waist, softly explaining in her ear, “It’s not that I don’t want you to look, but it’s better to focus on eating during meals.”
There was a hint of discomfort in the man’s eyes as he spoke.
From childhood to adulthood, nobody had ever seriously talked to him about matters between husband and wife. He didn’t know how to deal with them. It was just a habit formed over many years, knowing what to do at certain times. It didn’t seem appropriate during meals.
But when he saw Wen Yu not saying a word since he mentioned eating, she usually liked to talk about things around her, he realized something was wrong. So, he gently explained his meaning.
After speaking, he lowered his head, planting a soft kiss on the collarbone in front of him, then pursed his lips as if gently savoring it.
Wen Yu: “!”
– The moment the lips touched down.
Despite the absence of any sound around, Wen Yu still heard the familiar inquiry from the man: Are you angry?
Wen Yu wanted to say she wasn’t angry.
But she couldn’t.
His lips didn’t linger on her collarbone for too long, only a few seconds, then slowly pulled away.
However, these few seconds felt like an eternity to Wen Yu.
So much so that her mind was filled with various thoughts.
What did he mean by that?
Was he saying that during meals, they should focus on eating, and at other times, it’s okay to look?
Wen Yu’s heartbeat had already accelerated wildly when she fell into the embrace behind her. When she analyzed this meaning in her mind, it felt like an explosion, leaving her mind blank.
Moreover, the warmth on her collarbone made her subconsciously tighten her grip.
However, she only held onto his hand, not noticing when his fingers slipped into hers.
“Big brother~” Wen Yu called softly, faintly trembling.
“Hmm?” The man let out a low hum, the indifferent expression in his eyes now lacking the usual aloofness, with a hint of assertive intrusion.
– The slightly heated breath brushed against her neck.
Wen Yu felt he was about to touch her, yet it seemed distant, and even the areas he brushed past seemed to be faintly burning.
After awakening, most of the time, Wen Yu followed her heart.
Happy when happy, and making a fuss when unhappy.
At this moment, when the man raised his head, his deep eyes met hers, her already fragile resolve completely collapsing. She leaned in proactively, gently biting the lips that had just been causing mischief.
Being bitten, he didn’t resist, allowing her to take advantage.
After a moment, the pale lips seemed to flush with blood, becoming a crimson red.
Wen Yu looked at her handiwork with a satisfied smile, but before her smile could fully form, the man suddenly lifted her up, and before she could react, they fell onto the soft bedding.
He began to counterattack, and she was immediately subdued, unable to resist, only able to lean softly against him.
It was only at this moment that Wen Yu noticed his strength, far greater than she had imagined.
Lips intertwined, as if he wanted to swallow her whole, she felt a hint of fear in her heart, her hands weakly trying to push him away, but lacking strength.
Anxiously, she opened her eyes, while the man attacking her had his eyes closed tightly, yet even so, he seemed different from usual.
Wen Yu had always thought Jiang Yunyan was a restrained and calm person.
Whether it was the first kiss, when she refused, he stopped; or the second time, thinking she was drunk, even if it was difficult, he would stop when indicated; or the third time in the car, he only went so far.
He was just as he had been before.
However, at this moment, he was crossing boundaries step by step, showing no sign of stopping.
Overwhelmed by kisses, her breath becoming rapid, and her head dizzy, Wen Yu was finding it hard to resist…
Wen Yu felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen for a moment. She suddenly came to her senses and grabbed the man’s hand. “Xiao Yu?”
The man looked somewhat puzzled, faintly sensing a trace of grievance. Especially when he spoke, his voice was particularly hoarse, just like that night when Wen Yu wanted to continue but was stopped by him, who said she was drunk and asked her to sleep.
Wen Yu lifted her head slightly and leaned close to his ear, whispering something softly.
Instantly, his already reddened ears became even deeper in color, and his expression became somewhat unnatural. However, he still tried to regain his usual calmness and composure. He withdrew his hand from her clothes and instead embraced her, turning her over to lie flat on the bed.
Wen Yu was thus forced to lie on his chest, feeling his heavy and hot breath against her ear, and the pounding heartbeat coming from his chest, all indicating that he was not calm. He also lost that calm demeanor.
Suddenly, Wen Yu felt a sense of satisfaction, like getting revenge. She smirked, but afraid to laugh out loud and seem too pleased with herself, she quickly buried her head in the man’s neck.
Just as she moved, his arms tightened around her waist, pulling her even closer to him.
The man was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. Even though it was this month, the pants were thin, and any movement could be clearly felt. Meanwhile, Wen Yu had just showered and was wearing loose, thin short sleeves and shorts.
She felt uncomfortable and twisted her waist slightly.
Then came a slightly helpless and coaxing voice, “Xiao Yu, can you stop fidgeting?”
Wen Yu’s cheeks blushed slightly. She really didn’t mean to fidget. But being told like this, why did she feel so wronged?
However, she had always felt that the person untouched by worldly desires was showing such a desperate desire for the first time. Wen Yu’s heart softened slightly. She backed off a bit and touched the back of his neck, whispering softly, “Okay, go to bed early. I still have scenes to shoot tomorrow.”
However, as soon as she spoke, her voice became soft and somewhat urgent, and her breath was right by the man’s ear. The man, who had just been teased, darkened his eyes again for a moment, pinched her waist, and lifted her up, capturing her troublesome lips and tongue accurately, murmuring softly, “It’s only eight o’clock, still early.”
But this time, just as they were about to kiss, a sudden knocking sound interrupted them, and both froze simultaneously.
Then came the clear and moist voice of Jiang Yunjin from outside the door, “Big brother?”
At the door of the room,
Jiang Yunjin muttered, “It’s only eight o’clock now, shouldn’t he still be awake?”
He came back from work in the afternoon and received a food box from Xiaochen, made by his eldest brother himself!
This is extraordinary.
You should know that his eldest brother inherited their mom’s excellent cooking skills, and his culinary skills are superb. Although there’s a six-year age gap between them, they don’t spend much time together on ordinary days, so they haven’t tasted his cooking many times.
So after finishing the meal this time, he came over specifically to express his thanks and, while his brother was there, see if he could mooch a couple more meals?
Just as he was thinking this, the door suddenly opened.
A man appeared who bore some resemblance to him but seemed more steady, with a cold and somewhat gloomy face, obviously in a very bad mood.
Jiang Yunjin’s heart thumped immediately, and the thought of mooching a meal vanished from his mind.
Being someone with a girlfriend already, he naturally knew what this meant!
Instantly feeling scalp tingling, he began to regret speaking prematurely.
What’s going on?
It’s only eight o’clock!
How long have these two been married? Yet they’re still so clingy, it’s too much!
Jiang Yunjin’s heart was full of complaints, but he quickly became honest: “Brother, I just came to say thank you. Dinner was delicious, your cooking skills have improved again. Alright, I’ve said it, goodbye.”
After all, he had learned lines before, his speech was very fast, and as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and wanted to leave.
However, as soon as he moved, he felt his neck being grabbed from behind.
Jiang Yunjin asked, “Brother?”
“Where is your room?” Jiang Yunyan asked.
Jiang Yunjin: “…Two floors up.”
“You’re here at an opportune time.” Jiang Yunyan turned back to briefly explain to Wen Yu that he had something to discuss with Jiang Yunjin, then closed the door. “Let’s go.”
Jiang Yunjin:!
He choked up for a moment, almost crying, feeling too pitiful, and asked quietly, “Did I disturb you, or is it because of the surveillance?”
You have to understand, right?
Jiang Yunyan suspiciously paused for two seconds before saying, “…surveillance.”
Jiang Yunjin:…
Always feeling like he’s bothering them.
He sneaked a peek at his brother’s overly swollen lips and suddenly felt uncomfortable, reluctantly followed along, preparing to be beaten.
But the next moment, seeing Shi Lan returning with the assistant, he straightened up, greeted politely, “Teacher Shi is back.”
“Yeah.” Shi Lan pursed her lips and smiled, unintentionally shining a lot more light on Jiang Yunjin, but quickly forced herself to look away and glanced at Jiang Yunyan.
During the previous audition, Director Lu had hinted at the relationship between Jiang Yunjin and Wen Yu. Now that the two were walking together, she naturally knew.
Jiang Yunjin also straightforwardly introduced, “This is my eldest brother who came to visit.”
Shi Lan’s smile was polite but stiff, “Mr. Jiang, hello.”
Jiang Yunyan nodded, “Hello.”
Shi Lan’s complexion became increasingly unnatural, the man’s expression was dull, faintly gloomy, and when his gaze lightly swept over her, there was a inexplicable sense of oppression. In that moment, it felt as if all her thoughts had been exposed.
She didn’t dare to stay any longer, hastily said goodbye, and went back to her room.
Then she sighed bitterly, what’s going on, did Wen Yu scare him into calling the parents?
When Jiang Yunyan returned, he was already covered in sweat. Half of his excess energy was expended, and he returned to his usual calm demeanor.
At this time, Wen Yu was already lying down playing on his phone. Upon seeing him return, he lazily greeted him. Jiang Yunyan took his small suitcase, found his pajamas, and was about to take a shower. However, standing at the bathroom door, he hesitated for a moment.
But there was no other choice; he couldn’t possibly shower on Jiang Yunjin’s side. They were both men, and even if they were, the semi-transparent glass was even stranger. He could only steel himself and go in. Soon, the sound of rushing water filled the bathroom.
Wen Yu yawned; it was past nine o’clock. Although it wasn’t her usual bedtime, she was really tired today. She put down her phone when Jiang Yunyan finished showering and turned over to sleep. However, when she lifted her eyes, she was stunned.
This bathroom! Why was it like this?! You could see figures inside, even in the mistiest areas, you could see some outlines, like below the waist… He had been beaten by Jiang Yunjin for an hour already, hadn’t he calmed down yet?! But this glance was too embarrassing!
Wen Yu’s face suddenly turned red, and she quickly turned around, facing away from the bathroom. She felt like she was on fire all over her body. She hadn’t just not seen a pig run; she hadn’t even seen how to feed a pig! So that glance just now might be the biggest exposure she had ever had in her life.
Wen Yu was stunned. Wen Yu was dumbfounded. Wait… She suddenly realized something, even more panicked, and rolled around on the bed. Before dinner, she also took a shower, and Jiang Yunyan’s position at the time… seemed to be by the French window, from this angle, he couldn’t see the bathroom.
He shouldn’t have noticed, right? But she couldn’t help but imagine Jiang Yunyan’s strange behavior when she came out to eat after showering. He seemed to dare not look at her, and his face turned red. She thought it was because of the spicy food. It just didn’t make sense.
He must have seen her showering, that’s why he acted so strangely!!! Wen Yu: “…”
Aah! Wen Yu felt like she had lost face. But she couldn’t say anything. Forget it, pretend not to know. She lay flat, put down her phone, closed her eyes, hoping to fall asleep soon. But just now, the excitement made her unable to sleep even though she was sleepy now, even more awake.
Various scenes were playing in her mind, pulling her thoughts. When Jiang Yunyan finished showering and came out, changed into his pajamas, what he saw was a little girl with her eyes tightly closed, but her eyeballs were still turning under her eyelids. The lights in the room were on, although they were yellow, Wen Yu’s fair skin and rosy cheeks were still visible at a glance.
Jiang Yunyan glanced at the direction of the bathroom, feeling a bit awkward, but he had anticipated this long ago and quickly adjusted, charging his phone.
Seeing Wen Yu’s phone also by the pillow, she casually picked it up and plugged it in before lifting the covers and lying down. The depression on the bed next to her was most noticeable to Wen Yu. Was this her first time so soberly sharing a bed with Jiang Yunyan? She couldn’t help but feel nervous. Mainly because she thought of the peculiar bathroom.
However, the person beside her seemed to think she was asleep and didn’t make a sound. After lying down beside her, there was no other movement, and their breathing was calm. The room remained quiet, only faint noises coming from outside the window. But Wen Yu wasn’t happy. She gritted her teeth and decisively snuggled into his arms, hugging him. That’s better.
Jiang Yunyan, who had just lain down, paused for a moment, subconsciously adjusted his posture to make her more comfortable, and placed his other hand around her waist. “Sleep,” he said. “Goodnight,” Wen Yu said. Jiang Yunyan kissed the forehead of the person in his arms. “Goodnight.”

The next day, Wen Yu woke up at half-past seven. Jiang Yunyan was nowhere to be seen, as usual. There was a sticky note on the bedside table, which Wen Yu had bought to jot down notes while reading scripts. Sharp and beautiful fonts were written on it: [Running, I’ll bring breakfast back]. It seems the holiday hasn’t ended yet.
Wen Yu was truly surprised this time. In her memory, Jiang Yunyan rarely had holidays. He didn’t neglect his rest for work. On the contrary, he maintained himself well, whether it was daily exercise, three meals a day, or adequate sleep. With enough rest, sufficient energy, and physical exercise, work could be smoother. But on rest days, he seldom took them.
Jiang’s employees have weekends off, and overtime is inevitable, but various benefits are also in place. Only Jiang Yunyan rarely rested, leaving the office on time only on Sundays. At other times, even if he occasionally took a day off, he would work remotely at home or exercise. Only when Jiang’s mother saw him working too long and urged him to play would she, along with Jiang’s father, make time for him.
The last time they went on a cruise, it seemed to be because of Xiao Chen’s complaint that he hurried back, leaving in a hurry after dinner the next day because of company matters. Now, he unexpectedly had two days off? Just to visit her specially? Wen Yu couldn’t deny that she was quite happy.
When she woke up in the morning, she wasn’t as lazy as before. Instead, she applied a thin layer of makeup. She hadto get ready for work on the set later, so she could only apply a light layer to freshen up her complexion. Her fair skin received a touch of blush, and she dabbed on a subtle shade of lipstick that wasn’t too bold. Looking into the mirror, she felt instantly radiant and beautiful.
Next, she rummaged through her wardrobe and selected a short-sleeved off-the-shoulder top paired with a matching skirt. After getting dressed, she usually headed straight to the set, allowing herself some extra time for preparation. However, since someone had brought breakfast, she decided to wait.
Sitting on the sofa, she casually glanced around and suddenly noticed Jiang Yunyan’s suit jacket from the previous day hanging on the designated spot for clothes. It was facing her, and she could vaguely see a hint of red on the inside, resembling a corner of a red envelope, although thicker.
But since it belonged to Jiang Yunyan, Wen Yu didn’t pay much attention to it. After a brief glance, she gave up and reached for her phone, intending to check Weibo.
Just then, Jiang Yunyan returned. This time he wasn’t wearing a white shirt but a white tracksuit with black track pants. His forehead was slightly sweaty, and he held several plastic bags in his handsome hands.
“You’re up,” Jiang Yunyan said, his eyes brightening when he saw her. He began laying out the breakfast on the table one by one.
Wen Yu hurried over and sat down. “Wow, so much food?”
“Ah Jin said these shops are all good. I bought them for you to try. In the future, I can have the assistant buy breakfast from there,” Jiang Yunyan said.
There were soup dumplings, sweet buns, fried noodles, fried dough sticks, and soy milk, among other things. It seemed like a lot.
But Jiang Yunyan had a big appetite and could finish it all. Wen Yu couldn’t wait to pick up a pair of chopsticks and try a soup dumpling. Each bite was filled with juicy meat, and the handmade dumplings were delicious!
She ate happily, her eyes narrowing with satisfaction. Jiang Yunyan took a bite too and found it quite good.
The two successfully finished breakfast. Jiang Yunyan quickly took a shower, changed into another set of sportswear, and accompanied Wen Yu to the filming location. Wen Yu was originally worried about not having time to accompany him during filming, but before she could say anything, Jiang Yunyan said he would leave soon.
In that moment, Wen Yu suddenly regretted leaving Jiang Yunyan waiting for her alone yesterday afternoon. She had been too busy filming to talk to him. However, Wen Yu could also understand that just as she needed to focus on filming, Jiang Yunyan needed to be reassured.
Yet, when they arrived near the filming location and the car stopped, Wen Yu hesitated to get out. She didn’t move immediately, and Jiang Yunyan didn’t say anything either. Instead, he leaned in, wrapped his arms around her waist, and gently pulled her into an embrace, caressing her back, saying, “I’ll come over next weekend, and we’ll have plenty of time then.”
Wen Yu was momentarily stunned, remembering that he was a big shot who could use a private plane for domestic trips. In her previous life, she had heard that some big shots would take helicopters to work to save an hour or two, with the company’s top floor serving as a helipad. While it cost tens of thousands for a flight, saving a few hours could earn them tens of millions, making it worth it.
It was all because of her experiences in her previous life that she hadn’t yet adjusted to suddenly becoming a wealthy woman. This life was mostly spent in the entertainment circle, where there were many wealthy people, but actors experienced the ups and downs of life, and what they mostly saw were ordinary things. They were disconnected. What else was there to be reluctant about?
“Then I’ll go to work,” Wen Yu said, trying to get up. However, as soon as she moved, she was pushed back down. The man holding her laughed, “You’re leaving already?” He changed his attitude so quickly. Jiang Yunyan had seen this many times before, but the girl who had just hugged him reluctantly, when she heard he could come again next week, was suddenly eager to leave. The difference was too big.
Wen Yu did feel guilty and quickly hugged him, acting cute, “Well, I need to go prepare early. The scenes coming up are quite heavy, so I’m a little rushed~” She nuzzled his neck, being both obedient and soft.
Jiang Yunyan tightened his arm around her and glanced at the driver’s seat. Chen had already gotten out of the car as soon as he started, so there was no one else in the car now. He confidently lowered his head and skillfully captured her lips.
Wen Yu felt guilty and cooperated fully. After the kiss ended, Jiang Yunyan patted her back, “Go on.” Wen Yu: “…”
She felt that Jiang Yunyan was the heartless one! She hummed, then leaned over and suddenly bit the seemingly satisfied man hard. She immediately heard a gasp, but he didn’t push her away, resigned to being bitten by her.
Wen Yu finished her mischief and quickly ran away. She saw Xiao Yu waiting on the side of the road, smiling as she ran towards her. “When did you arrive?” “I’ve been here for a while,” Xiao Yu also smiled coyly, skillfully handing over a wet wipe and a mirror, slightly urging, “Boss, wipe your mouth.” The lipstick had smudged. Wen Yu blushed and quickly looked in the mirror, then froze, fortunately, the lipstick she applied wasn’t too heavy, or it would have been even more disastrous. She didn’t know what was happening on Jiang Yunyan’s side… She wiped her mouth, the smile at the corner of her lips still present.
Xiao Yu ate up every bit of dog food, envious to the extreme. She had been following Wen Yu since her debut, so she knew her situation very well. From impulsively getting married at the beginning, to later withdrawing her affection for Jiang Yunjin and trying to get along with her husband, and now this appearance, Xiao Yu felt itchy in her heart, “Boss, is this considered falling in love after marriage? So sweet!”
Wen Yu had just finished wiping and threw away the wet wipe, looking at herself in the mirror, she was taken aback by Xiao Yu’s words, “Falling in love after marriage?” “Yes, hehe…” Xiao Yu covered her mouth, afraid of getting too excited and blurting out, but still couldn’t help saying, “It’s really so sweet!!!” Wen Yu subconsciously looked at the mirror. In the mirror, she looked radiant and smiling. As an actress, in this state, if she were filming a romantic drama, she would have the audience cheering loudly. However, as herself, Wen Yu’s complexion was subtly wrong, the smile in her eyes gradually disappearing, replaced by a panic buried deep in her heart. Love?
