Maura was able to travel thousands of miles during her trip to Nanzhou, so she must have noticed something. The two of them met again in Nanzhou. Maura is not an idiot. On the contrary, she is extremely smart and very scheming. How could she not suspect her and Jiang Nianyan? Private relationship?
But Maura couldn't bear to mention it, and arranged for Ji Zi to enter the Jiang family. The only thing Yu Nian could think of was that Maura would turn a blind eye to anything in order to marry the two families.
Yu Nian just didn't understand. Why did Maura ask her to say this?
Maura actually smiled when she heard this, and she didn't hide it, looking at Yu Nian, "Yes, I know."
"So, you are here to warn me?" Yu Nian asked.
"What are you warning you about? Leaving Jiang Nianyan? Leaving Zhongshi? Or reminding you that Jiang Nianyan is your uncle now and you have to restrain yourself?" Maura asked a series of questions. She shook her head, "No, I'll come and find you." You, I just want to chat with you, that’s all.”
Yu Nian looked at her hesitantly.
Maura smiled, "You see, this is the human heart. Because you feel that you have done something wrong, because you feel that you are having an affair with my fiancé, you will always feel uncomfortable when you see me."
These words really made Yu Nian feel uncomfortable.
"Then let me ask you, was it you who took the initiative to seduce him?" Maura asked with a half-smile.
Yu Nian blurted out, "I never seduced him."
Maura smiled, "Of course I believe it, and I believe that if there is a relationship between the two of you, then you must be on the passive side. That person Jiang Nianyan looks calm and far away from the world, but there is strength and plunder hidden in his bones. , Nature is like this, it cannot be concealed.”
"I don't understand." Yu Nian said,
I don’t understand why Maura is so calm even though she knows these things.
Maura chuckled, "Because I have nothing to do with Jiang Nianyan anymore."
"ah?"
"Similar to the problem you are facing, if he and I want to completely cut off the relationship, we need to notify both families, but..." Mora thought for a moment and continued, "My situation will be more complicated than yours."
"You want to... terminate the marriage relationship with him?" Yu Nian was shocked.
"It's literally me and him, that's what we agreed on," Mora said.
"Why?"
Maura pursed her lips and smiled, "I think you will know soon."
When Yu Nian heard this, she stopped asking questions. Although she was very curious, the Mora family was very powerful and on par with the Jiang family. Once they got married, it was a strong alliance. How could it be so easy to break it off?
After a long time, Yu Nian said, "I'm afraid that although this is your consensus, the family may not agree."
Maura thought, "Maybe it's not that difficult."
Inscrutable.
Finally, Yu Nian asked, "What's the purpose of telling me this? You don't think you're giving in to someone better by doing this, do you?"
"I said my purpose is very simple. I just want to make you a friend, and I don't want our relationship to be disturbed by external affairs." Maura said sincerely, "That's it, really."
It's not that Yu Nian doesn't believe her, it's just that he thinks this matter is weird.
-
After the dinner started, Yu Nian drank a few glasses of wine.
Because of Mrs. Jiang's health, she did not follow until the end. She came to the banquet table to have a simple meal, and then returned to her old house after toasting the guests with wine on behalf of the Jiang family.
Without Mrs. Jiang in the way, Yu Nian would inevitably be toasted.
Yu Juanzhou was not spared. Even Jiang Xin drank too much. Yu Juanzhou was pulled by several dragon heads and couldn't get away. Yu Nian could only take care of himself.
Miss Jiang New Year Banquet.
She saw him when the banquet was opening, and maybe she had drunk too much and didn't know where to hide.
Yu Nian thought of the lounge again and wanted to leave the banquet as soon as possible and go to the lounge to hide.
As soon as I left the banquet hall, I saw a person dressed as a housekeeper walking forward, "Miss Yu."
Yu Nian recognized the butler at a glance. He was from this hotel and served the suites upstairs.
"you……"
"This is the room key card for upstairs." The butler handed the delicate envelope to Yu Nian, "After you drink, you'd better go upstairs and have a good rest."
"Need not--"
"This is what Mr. Yan told me." The butler interrupted Yu Nian softly.
Jiang New Year Banquet?
Yu Nian looked around subconsciously.
"Master Yan is not here." The butler smiled slightly.
Not here?
Back to the company?
No way, he didn't have any schedule today.
"Where are the young people at the banquet?"
The housekeeper said he didn't know.
"Just ask me to hand over the room card to Miss Yu."
Yu Nian was also dizzy and desperately wanted to find a quiet place to rest. Although the lounge was the closest, anyone in the banquet hall could enter the lounge and would still be disturbed.
After thinking about it for a while, I took the room card and decided to go upstairs.
The soundproofing of the hotel is quite good, and most sounds are eliminated as soon as you enter the elevator. When we reached the suite floor, it was so quiet that it was as if everything in the world no longer existed.
At the end of the corridor is the suite that Jiangnianyan has reserved all year round.
Once upon a time, Yu Nian walked down this corridor again and again, staring at the door at the end with her heart trembling. All the unwillingness, fear, and other emotions dominated her, making every step forward difficult for her.
Although she hasn't been to this suite for a while.
But the memories of the past reappeared, filling her brain all the time, reminding her of her past misery.
Was it ever so unbearable?
Yu Nian smiled bitterly, she was not much better now.
Entering the room, Yu Nian vaguely smelled the smell of alcohol.
I was thinking about how many glasses of wine I had downed, but I didn’t expect that the wine tasted so strong?
But I didn’t smell much alcohol along the way.
Yu Nian remembered that when Jiang Nianyan was often called to this suite before, for convenience, a few of her changes of clothes were placed in the suite.
She thought about it and walked into the dressing room. She was nervous before checking. Maybe her clothes had been cleaned long ago?
Don't want to be there anymore.
Neatly hung or stacked, very neatly placed.
Looking at the jewelry section, there were also several earrings neatly placed in the jewelry box, which she had replaced before.
Yu Nian didn't know what was wrong.
This was obviously the place she hated and feared the most, but at this moment, she felt relaxed and safe.
There was low laughter behind him, deep.
Yu Nian was startled and turned around suddenly.
Shocked, "Why are you here?"
It was actually the Jiang Nian Banquet.
He was lazily leaning against the door, his tie had been taken off, and three buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, vaguely revealing his strong chest muscles. Compared with the abstinence and seriousness at the banquet, he looked sexy and seductive now.
"Go back to your room and sober up." Jiang Nianyan's voice was low and very attractive.
Yu Nian understood immediately that the vague smell of alcohol in the room was from him.
An unwarranted sense of danger creeps in.
Her mind was racing, "I remembered a pair of earrings were left here, so I thought I'd come up and have a look. I couldn't find them, so I went downstairs."
"Don't you plan on changing?" Jiang Nianyan tilted his head slightly to look at her.
Yu Nian shook his head, "The clothes in the wardrobe are too casual and not suitable for changing."
And what would she think if she went downstairs in her changed clothes and let others see her?
Jiang Nianyan sneered, "You don't necessarily need to dress more formally for this kind of occasion."
Yu Nian hummed, "But I really don't plan to change clothes. I... might as well go down and not disturb your rest."
After finishing talking, I wanted to leave.
When passing by Jiang Nianyan, Yu Nian prayed silently in her heart, let her go, let her go...
The man grabbed his wrist.
Following the trend, she suddenly fell into the man's arms.
Yu Nian's breath suffocated.
Jiang Nianyan clasped her waist and moved his thin lips against her cheek, "I asked you to come up. Can I let you go?"
"Young Master Yan..." Yu Nian almost begged, "Don't be like this, they are still downstairs, and they are still..."
"What does the presence of those people have to do with me?" Jiang Nianyan stretched out his hand and gently lifted her long hair away with his slender fingers, revealing her slender swan neck.
His eyes were dark and obsessed, and he caressed her skin carefully, "So what if we recognize each other? Yu Nian, don't forget, it was you who made the contract with me first, and everything comes first, first served."
"Are you crazy? After all, the wedding reception has not yet ended, and so many elders from the Jiang family are still downstairs!" Yu Nian couldn't break free and looked at him in disbelief.
Jiang Nianyan pulled her closer, with a deep and dangerous look in his eyes. "Indeed, you have been calling me uncle all day today. Do you want to remind me of something, eh?"
Yu Nian opened his mouth, "I, I didn't..."
In fact, she had a little extravagant hope. She was wondering if Jiang Nianyan could be restrained, at least today.
No, he wouldn't let it go even today.
or……
Yu Nian stared at the gloomy look in his eyes, his heart pounding.
Or maybe it was just because he was recognizing his relatives today that he got more serious?
Jiang Nianyan put his fingers on her face, "I once told you that I don't care if you keep calling me uncle under me."
He came closer to her and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Don't say it in name only. Even if you are my biological niece, you are mine as long as I want."
brute.
Yu Nian cursed in his heart.
"Take it off." Jiang Nianyan chuckled.
Yu Nian was agitated and said, "No today... please."
"What are you worried about?" Jiang Nianyan saw through her thoughts, "Because Yu Juanzhou is downstairs?"
Yu Nian's lips trembled slightly.
Jiang Nianyan sneered, "Since you call me uncle, then be obedient." His slender fingers opened one of her buttons, "Just do whatever I ask you to do, take it off."
Yu Nian wanted to cry but had no tears.
She could feel Jiang Nianyan's displeasure.
It was like suppressing a fire, which was born fiercely under the stimulation of alcohol.
And he wanted to vent this fire on her.
She shook her fingers and wanted to untie the necklace first.
But he was stopped by Jiang Nianyan, "Wearing the necklace."
She took off all her clothes, under his unobstructed gaze.
Wearing that necklace alone.
Even in a room with dim light, the gems on the necklace shine brightly.
"Do you like it?" Jiang Nianyan's slender fingers gently picked up the necklace around her neck, half-smiling.
Yu Nian restrained his rapid breathing and said, "It's too precious."
"Is it expensive? You offer me a cup of tea and call me uncle. This gift is not expensive." He walked around behind her slowly and pushed her in front of the mirror.
She was covered in a necklace, and the man behind her was neatly dressed, which made her look embarrassed.
He gently held her in his arms and admired the woman in the mirror.
Pure and charming.
The man's eyes gradually became darker.
"Young Master Yan..." Yu Nian felt embarrassed and his body was shaking slightly, "Please don't tonight..."
Jiang Nianyan tilted his head slightly and smiled, "Why don't you call me uncle?"
His eyes fell on the woman's face in the mirror again, and he ordered, "Scream."
Yu Nian trembled his lips and called him with difficulty, "Uncle."
Jiang Nianyan's eyes became darker, his brows seemed to be burning with fire, and his displeasure obviously spread to the corners of his lips. He pushed her to the window and forced her to look at the bustling world beneath her feet.
There are floor-to-ceiling windows that are more than six meters high, and Yu Nian is like an ant in it.
"No!" She struggled desperately and resisted.
But Jiang Nianyan's hand was very strong and he pressed her whole body against the window, making it impossible for her to break away.
He pressed against her, and his rough breath fell on her ears, "Doesn't it feel good? The guests are all downstairs, but you are having an affair with your uncle in the suite upstairs, huh?"
Yu Nian's eyes turned red.
Although it was so high up in the sky that people downstairs could not see the situation above, she still felt extremely humiliated.
Her pale face was reflected in the glass window.
And the gloomy and cold eyes of the man behind him.
Gradually, the room became dense and beautiful, blurring her vision.
-
After the Jiang family's recognition meeting, life seemed to have returned to calm.
Yu Nian went to work in Zhongshi as always, and Yu Juanzhou ran around for the Yu family as always. It seems like nothing has changed, but something has changed somewhere.
The number of people who took the initiative to talk to Yu Juanzhou about cooperation increased visibly. Yu Juanzhou became very busy, busier than before. Sometimes even Yu Nian couldn't find him when he called him. When he called, he was either in a meeting or socializing.
Yu Nian asked Qiao Min, have you two talked about what happened that night?
Qiao Min said calmly, "We talked about it. How we got along before and how we still get along now is not necessary. In modern times, men and women are having fun, so there is no need to take that kind of thing seriously."
Yu Nian naturally understood Qiao Min. She looked like she didn't care about anything, but in fact she cared about everything.
During this period of time, the man named Qiao Shen got the advantage. He dated Qiao Min every three days, and his motives were obvious. Yu Nian asked Qiao Min, "How do you feel about Qiao Shen?"
Qiao Min couldn't tell how she felt about Qiao Shen. She thought for a long time and said, "He is gentle and gentle, not annoying, but he is quite pleasant to get along with."
Yu Nian asked her again, "Do you really think you and Azhou have no chance?"
Qiao Min was silent for a long time and said, "Some feelings can't come to fruition if I take the initiative."
Yu Nian looked anxious, mainly because she couldn't see Yu Juanzhou.
Her work here is also intensive.
After she shamelessly sat in on a meeting with a large project team, although Yang Li was still biased against her, he did not deliberately target her. In addition, she put forward a few pertinent opinions during subsequent meetings, which made the entire project team People looked at her with admiration.
The workload was a lot more, but at the same time her understanding of the project was getting deeper and deeper.
Usually I have to follow Jiang Nian's banquet in and out.
However, since she was forced to stay in the suite by him on the night of the recognition meeting, Yu Nian used various work excuses to avoid being alone with him in the following days.
It wasn't until she was about to get off work that day that Jiang Nianyan called her to the office on the pretext of work, but pressed her against the door of the lounge.
He leaned against her and smiled half-heartedly——
"Yu Nian, are you becoming more and more courageous and don't you even take me seriously?"
