"Huh?"
"You thought you defeated the second roommate and took control of Jiang Dingkun."
"Tall buildings rise from the ground. Who can control the chessboard, who didn't start from the chess pieces? Being the chess piece of the richest man is my ability in itself."
Jiang Muyan looked at her with interest, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes. "I found that you are really different from ordinary people."
Song Yutang smiled faintly, "Living well is better than anything else."
Jiang Muyan's heart felt like it had been stabbed gently, not sharply, but so dull that it made her panic.
She obviously smiled lightly and spoke lightly.
But just because it was so understated, it seemed to hide a lot of fatigue and helplessness.
"..." Jiang Muyan's Adam's apple rolled up and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
Song Yutang could see that he was probably feeling distressed, so he simply made it clear. "While he was using me, how could I not be using him? I started arguing with him because I found out that he was taking advantage of me. To put it bluntly, he was using me to fight against his second wife, and I was also using his power to gain a foothold."
He wanted a capable granddaughter-in-law, so I would be that kind of person. If he wanted someone who was meek, mediocre and easy to handle, I could pretend to be well-behaved and filial. I made him feel that he got what he wanted and that he was using me. But in fact, I also got what I wanted and was using him."
Jiang Muyan still said nothing, but his eyes became complicated.
There was heartache, guilt, and a hint of indescribable sourness.
Song Yutang turned away uncomfortably and curled his lips in a self-deprecating tone. "What? Disappointed? I didn't expect me to be so realistic."
"I'm sorry." Jiang Muyan suddenly said, "I'm late."
"What?" Song Yutang frowned, I really didn't understand this time.
Jiang Muyan stood up and walked to her, lowered his head and looked into her eyes seriously.
His eyes were very deep, like a bottomless pool of water. "Yutang, according to the marriage contract made by our grandmothers, we were supposed to be engaged. It was Jiang Sichen who took over the magpie's nest in my place, and Song Ruowei who pretended to be you. I haven't been able to take care of you these years. I'm sorry."
Song Yutang was completely stunned.
"You..." His lips moved, but no sound came out.
Jiang Muyan gently held her hand and couldn't help but sigh, "Song Yutang, I know you are kind and gentle by nature. You just suffered too many injuries and suffered too much, so you didn't dare to think about anything else and just wanted to live well."
Song Yutang was silent, his eyebrows lowered.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not withdraw her hand.
Jiang Muyan's eyes darkened and his voice lowered. "I'm sorry, I'm late. Fortunately, it's not too late. If you want anything in the future, you can tell me. If you're unhappy, you can tell me. If you encounter difficulties, I will always be behind you."
Song Yutang remained silent, his eyebrows lowered and his expression unclear.
Her fingers curled up slightly, as if she wanted to tighten her grip, but also as if she wanted to pull away.
In the end, nothing was done.
Jiang Muyan held her hand tightly. "In the future, if you don't want to be a chess piece, you don't have to do it. If you don't want to fight with the second room, you can stop. You just need to be yourself and do what you want. As long as I am here, I can protect you."
His eyes were too hot and focused, like a beam of light falling directly on Song Yutang.
Bang bang bang--
Her heartbeat suddenly beat a few beats faster.
Finally, Song Yutang couldn't even stand the scorching heat and hurriedly turned his back.
Jiang Muyan gently touched her shoulder. "Song Yutang, try to trust me and rely on me."
The warmth from the palm of my hand spread through the thin fabric of my clothes. It wasn't hot, but it was like a warm fire, burning from my shoulders to my heart.
Song Yutang's heart beats harder.
It felt like it was about to be knocked out of my chest.
"I..." She opened her mouth to say something, but felt that nothing was right.
The words rolled around in her throat, and she finally swallowed them back.
Song Yutang took several deep breaths before finally suppressing the throbbing in his heart.
When she turned around again, she had a perfect smile on her face, "We are husband and wife. We should trust each other and rely on each other. It has always been my goal to fight with the second wife and get tangible benefits and live a good life. You don't need to feel guilty or blame yourself, and you don't need to share the burden for me. I just hope that we can live a good life as husband and wife from now on."
Jiang Muyan looked at that smiling face and sighed softly in his heart.
That smile is so perfect.
It's so perfect that you can't find a single fault.
It's also so perfect that there's no trace of warmth.
She still doesn't trust him.
In other words, Song Yutang's definition of this marriage has always been mutual benefit.
If you don't have feelings, you won't be sincere.
When wearing Top Star Brother's vest, Song Yutang will secretly have a crush on him.
Once I switch back to my husband's identity, those subtle thoughts instantly become unimportant.
The only thing she wants is to live a good life.
The definition of a husband is to live life together.
But Jiang Muyan did not let go, and his voice was gentle but firm. "Yutang, besides being your husband, I am still you Brother Yan. No matter what happens, I will always be there."
Song Yutang's heart moved again.
Like a stone thrown into a lake, ripples spread out.
It soon returned to calm.
In her previous life, she had been in the palace for ten years. She had loved, hated, and been hurt.
Finally, when I suddenly looked back, I realized that no matter how much hatred I felt, they were just the smoke of the past.
Only those things that are truly in her hands and can make her live a good life are the most real.
As for love and love, having it is the icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it.
Seriously, she and Jiang Muyan have only been husband and wife for two days.
If there is a fate in the future, of course it will be great. If there is no fate, you can't force it...
It was night before you knew it, and the couple went to bed as usual.
What happened yesterday was so magical that Song Yutang was all dizzy.
In a daze, I lay on the bed with my husband who had already woken up and fell asleep.
While I was awake today, I started to feel embarrassed after realizing it.
Although Brother Yan has been helping her, after all, it is a relationship between partners and friends.
Suddenly switching to a couple sleeping in the same bed, I always feel something is weird.
Jiang Muyan could see her discomfort, and also knew that she was actually not familiar with him and didn't understand him, so he consciously moved to the bedside.
As a result, I accidentally moved my head too far.
A muffled thud--
