36. Heart-to-Heart Between Sisters
“That’s because cousin always says one thing but means another, especially when it comes to matters related to Cousin Yan Zhen.”
Yan Meng’er blinked and directly dropped a bombshell:
“Actually, cousin likes Cousin Yan Zhen, right?”
As soon as these words came out, Yan Ruyu’s face instantly turned bright red. She jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on:
“Nonsense! How- how could I possibly like that little brat? It’s utterly ridiculous… Meng’er, if you continue like this, I’m going to get angry!”
“It doesn’t matter if cousin doesn’t admit it. However, I really like Cousin Yan Zhen.” Yan Meng’er said frankly, “Not just the liking between a younger cousin and an older cousin, but also the liking between a man and a woman.”
Yan Ruyu glanced at her cousin and snorted, “You’ve loved sticking to him since you were little. It’s obvious even without saying it.”
“Isn’t cousin the same? Because you’ve been secretly watching Cousin Yan Zhen, you can immediately appear and catch him to spank his butt when he’s being tyrannical.”
“I- that was supervising him.” Yan Ruyu explained, “You know how arrogant that little brat was when he was young. If I didn’t keep an eye on him, the other children would all be bullied by him.”
“No way. Cousin Yan Zhen was just a bit naughty. He rarely bullied other children… There were many more arrogant people than him, but cousin didn’t go to manage them. You just kept watching Cousin Yan Zhen and still say you don’t like him.”
Yan Meng’er pouted, “Everyone could see that cousin treats cousin differently.”
“I said I don’t—”
“—Still not admitting it?” Yan Meng’er frowned, “Then I’ll go tell Cousin Yan Zhen all these things. This way, cousin should also think that cousin likes him.”
What?
As soon as Yan Ruyu heard this, a terrible scene immediately appeared in her mind:
Yan Zhen picked his nose in a despicable manner, “Huh? I heard you like me? That’s really great because I don’t like you. Your butt is too big, hahahaha~”
It was simply hell! Yan Ruyu didn’t dare to imagine further.
“Yan Meng’er, you dare!”
“Of course I dare.” Yan Meng’er said nonchalantly, “Anyway, I’m not the one who will be embarrassed.”
Seeing her pose of really wanting to do it, Yan Ruyu instantly panicked. Half aggrieved and half threatening, she said:
“Meng’er, what’s wrong with you? I just got back, and you keep saying annoying things. If you don’t like being with me, then go find your Cousin Yan Zhen. I won’t pay attention to you!”
After saying that, she quickly walked into her own courtyard.
“Oh my, cousin~” Seeing that she was really angry, Yan Meng’er immediately followed and held Yan Ruyu’s arm, showing affection, “Just admit it. Anyone with eyes can see that you have feelings for Cousin Yan Zhen. You’re the only one who thinks you’ve hidden it well. How embarrassing.”
“You damned girl, are you asking for a beating? Do you not take me, your cousin, seriously anymore?”
Yan Ruyu disdainfully slapped Yan Meng’er’s little hand, putting on an air of “don’t touch me, I’m not familiar with you”.
Yan Meng’er sighed a bit wearily, “Does cousin think that Cousin Yan Zhen doesn’t have the dazzling talent he had before, so there won’t be any girls who like him besides me, and it’s okay to take it slow?”
“Only you, Meng’er, are blind enough to take a fancy to that little brat. If it were other girls, they wouldn’t even bother to look at him.”
Perhaps because she was overstimulated, Yan Ruyu vented her anger on Yan Zhen and deliberately said bad things about him.
“Sigh, cousin, you’re wrong. Cousin Yan Zhen is very popular, like that Huangfu Wenqing. Not only did she not break off the engagement, but she also plans to have Cousin Yan Zhen marry into Cloud Heaven Palace.”
Yan Meng’er’s tone was full of melancholy.
Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, and her heart started to panic a little:
“Huangfu Wenqing? Could it be…”
“It’s Cousin Yan Zhen’s fiancée. Grandpa City Lord and Grandpa Huangfu personally arranged their marriage.”
“Wasn’t Huangfu Wenqing accepted as the personal disciple of the State Preceptor? She was even conferred the title of Princess by the King. I heard that many princes and nobles in the capital want to betroth her. How could she still fancy that little brat?” Yan Ruyu pursed her lips, “Is it because his talent has recovered? Or is it the intention of Old General Huangfu?”
“When Huangfu Wenqing came, Cousin Yan Zhen’s talent hadn’t recovered yet. Old General Huangfu also didn’t force his granddaughter to marry. It was all Huangfu Wenqing herself. I don’t know if she discovered Cousin Yan Zhen’s hidden good points, but she unexpectedly pestered him and wouldn’t let go. It’s really infuriating!”
When it came to Huangfu Wenqing, Yan Meng’er was very angry.
That woman actually dared to secretly kiss her Cousin Yan Zhen. She had only met Cousin Yan Zhen a few times but was already throwing herself at him like this, without any restraint of a proper lady!
She was just a mere fiancée. For Cousin Yan Zhen, wasn’t she, this cousin – oh, plus another cousin – better?
“Huangfu Wenqing likes Yan Zhen… and wants to take him to Cloud Heaven Palace as a live-in son-in-law… The State Preceptor won’t agree, right?”
Yan Ruyu was still hoping for a plot twist, but Yan Meng’er shook her head and said:
“This is the intention of the State Preceptor. Insisting in cultivate Huangfu Wenqing as the successor of Cloud Heaven Palace, only taking in a husband and not marrying out.”
At this point, Yan Meng’er let out another long sigh:
“Cousin, you understand, right? If Cousin Yan Zhen really becomes the live-in son-in-law of Cloud Heaven Palace, then we won’t have the slightest hope.”
A live-in son-in-law naturally wouldn’t have the right to take concubines, which meant that she and her cousin couldn’t even be his mistresses.
This was also the place where Yan Meng’er hated Huangfu Wenqing.
She blocked the path for the sisters at once, enjoying everything herself and not even leaving soup for others. It was simply going too far!
Yan Ruyu’s willow brows were tightly knitted, and her pearly teeth lightly bit her red lips. She was also obviously aware of the seriousness of the problem, but she quickly reacted and still stubbornly said:
“What does this have to do with me? If he wants to marry in, let him marry in. Meng’er, if you can’t bear to part with him, then go ‘accompany the bride’ together.”
“How would Huangfu Wenqing agree? Cousin, you don’t know how hateful she is. She intentionally seduced Cousin Yan Zhen and even kissed him.”
“Kissed!?”
Yan Ruyu’s footsteps paused, and her eyes slightly widened. She felt it was unbelievable, and her chest also felt stuffy.
Yan Meng’er continued to stimulate her:
“Yes, not on the face, but mouth to mouth.”
As she spoke, she even pouted her cherry-pink lips and made a “smooch” sound. Then she added:
“It seems she even stuck her tongue in and ate a lot of Cousin Yan Zhen’s saliva.”
“Tongue… saliva…”
Yan Ruyu seemed to have imagined such a scene: under the moonlight, a man and a woman, kissing, rerorerorero~
“Simply- simply shameless!” Yan Ruyu’s cheeks were dyed a crimson red. She said in embarrassment and anger, “Meng’er, you- you didn’t stop them?”
“How dare I? Huangfu Wenqing is a Five-Star Mystic One. Even Cousin Yan Zhen couldn’t resist and could only obediently let her violate him.”
Cousin is so pitiful, sob sob sob~
“So, cousin, if you don’t hurry, Cousin Yan Zhen will be taken to Cloud Heaven Palace by that bad woman Huangfu Wenqing. If he marries in, Cousin Yan Zhen won’t be happy either. Cousin, you don’t want Cousin Yan Zhen to be ridiculed every day for marrying above his station after entering Cloud Heaven Palace, right?”
Yan Ruyu began to waver:
“But I can’t do anything either.”
“Of course you can.” Yan Meng’er persuaded step by step, “That Huangfu Wenqing is so arrogant, she definitely won’t be willing to share the same man with others. If we sisters can capture Cousin Yan Zhen first, then she will take the initiative to break off the engagement. At that time, won’t everyone be happy?”
