Chapter 46: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
Seeing that she didn't seem to care, Yan Chen didn't say anything more.
Yun Qing had something on her mind and couldn't sleep well. She woke up in the middle of the night, still feeling a bit uneasy.
She wondered if Yan Xiu would take action if Lu Miaomiao joined forces with him.
So she decided to give Yan Xiu a chance.
She glanced at Yan Chen, seeing that he was sleeping soundly, then gently removed the arm from her waist and slipped out of bed.
In his dazed state, Yan Chen reached out and grabbed her hand, asking, "Where are we going?"
Yun Qing was startled by him and quickly whispered, "Go to the restroom."
She then bent down and kissed him, successfully calming Yan Chen down and making him let go of her hand.
Yun Qingzhen went to the restroom and came back to find him asleep again, so she quietly left the house.
She didn't actually plan to do anything; she just wanted to go downstairs for a stroll and see if she could find anything.
After going downstairs, she went to get a glass of water. She had just taken a sip when she heard footsteps behind her.
Turning her head, she saw Yan Xiu standing not far behind her, watching her.
Yan Xiu donned a mask of gentle elegance, his gaze towards Yun Qing filled with deep affection as he softly called out to her, "Yun Qing..."
Yun Qing felt a jolt in her heart and quickly drank some water to calm herself down.
Then she glanced at Yan Xiu, seemingly uncomfortable with the sudden ambiguity, and frowned slightly in repulsion. "I'm going back to my room. Yan Chen is still waiting for me."
She said this and started to walk past him.
Yan Xiu reached out to grab her wrist, but Yun Qing quickly dodged to the side, stopping in her tracks.
A hint of anger flashed across her face as she glared at Yan Xiu and snapped, "What are you doing?"
Yan Xiu withdrew his hand, his face showing a look of suppressed longing, and said in a low voice, "Don't trust Yan Chen so much, I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing's expression changed.
After all, the child in Lu Miaomiao's belly was still a thorn in her heart; it was Yan Chen's "biological child"!
Even though Yan Chen seemed to care about her a lot, making her less afraid of being abandoned by him, she couldn't help but care about the existence of that child.
Yan Xiu's pointed words hit a nerve, making her somewhat annoyed. "Mind your own business! Don't think that sowing discord will affect my relationship with Yan Chen!"
Yan Xiu looked hurt by her words and said somewhat agitatedly, "I'm not as despicable as you think! Do you know Yan Chen...?"
He stopped mid-sentence, seemingly unwilling to tell her such a cruel truth.
Yun Qing tightened her grip on the water glass and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with Yan Chen?"
Yan Xiu glanced at her worriedly, then sighed, took out his phone, found a photo, and handed it to her, saying, "Take a look for yourself."
Yun Qing glanced at it, then instantly recoiled, taking two steps back in shock. Her face drained of color, and tears welled in her eyes. "No...no way...I don't believe it..."
A marriage certificate was prominently displayed on the phone screen, and the couple being married were naturally Yan Chen and Lu Miaomiao.
A hint of darkness lurked in Yan Xiu's eyes as he sighed, "I didn't want to tell you, but Yan Chen is too good at pretending. I'm afraid you'll end up battered and bruised."
"Do you know why Yan Chen still pretends to love Lu Miaomiao even after they've registered their marriage?"
Yun Qing looked dazed, tears streaming down her cheeks, and asked with some difficulty, "Why?"
Yan Xiu's gaze fell on her face, his eyes burning with desire. Her tearful appearance was truly captivating; no wonder Yan Chen cherished her so much.
Yun Qing felt uncomfortable under that sticky gaze and wanted to smash the water glass in his hand in his face. He was supposed to be a male supporting character, so why did he feel so lewd?
Fortunately, Yan Xiu quickly remembered the important matter and said with a solemn expression, "Because of the Lu family."
"The Lu family?"
“Yes, Yan Chen is a very ambitious person. Do you think he can be satisfied with just controlling the Yan family? No! He wants much more than that.”
Yun Qing's face was deathly pale, her hands trembled, and some water in the cup spilled out. She asked in disbelief, "He... wants to take over the Lu family?"
Yan Xiu looked at her with pity and said, "I just wanted to remind you of this so that you wouldn't be kept in the dark. Yan Chen and I grew up together as brothers. He could kill me, let alone the Lu family."
"Taking over the Lu family will not only satisfy his ambition, but also...take revenge on you."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing was struck dumb, and repeated the last three words in a daze, "Revenge on me?"
She seemed to understand something in a flash, and murmured, half-crying and half-laughing, "No wonder..." No wonder he could forgive her betrayal so easily.
"...It was all fake!"
Her face showed pain and resentment, but in her heart she thought, "Sure enough, Yan Chen wanted to take revenge on me, it wasn't my fault!"
At this moment, Yan Xiu reached out to hug her with a pained expression. Yun Qing quickly took two steps back, dodging his claws, and almost crushed the cup in her hand.
[System, I really want to punch him! Can't he just talk properly? He's always thinking about getting physical, no wonder he can't beat Yan Chen!]
System: ...You really know how to play the double standard perfectly. Put your hand on your heart and tell me, didn't Yan Chen lay a hand on you?
Yan Chen didn't just touch me; he touched me everywhere!
When Yun Qing dodged him again, Yan Xiu was very displeased, but he continued to maintain his affectionate expression, looking steadily at Yun Qing and saying, "Don't be afraid, I will help you and won't let Yan Chen hurt you."
Meeting his affectionate gaze, Yun Qing looked away in a fluster, "I...I want to go back to my room."
As she spoke, she quickly turned and left, her steps somewhat unsteady, revealing the turmoil in her heart.
In the original storyline, when Lu Yunqing couldn't win back Yan Chen, she set her sights on Yan Xiu.
However, back then, Yan Xiu, the male supporting character, was very popular. He was someone who could rival Yan Chen, and it was uncertain who would ultimately control the Yan family.
Yan Xiu's current affectionate demeanor clearly indicates that he intends to seduce her and use her to achieve certain goals.
Lu Miaomiao naturally hoped that she would get entangled with Yan Xiu and stay far away from Yan Chen.
However, the current Yan Xiu is not the glamorous Yan Xiu from the original story. According to her current character setting, even if she finds that there is no hope of getting Yan Chen, she would not be interested in him.
I wonder how Yan Xiu and Lu Miaomiao plan to win her over?
Yan Xiu watched her departing figure with a gloomy expression. After a long while, he let out a cold laugh and walked away.

After returning to her room, Yun Qing placed the water glass she had been carrying on the bedside table and then crawled into bed.
As if sensing something, Yan Chen reached out and pulled her into his arms, asking sleepily, "Why did it take so long?"
Yun Qing nuzzled his chin, relaxing completely, and explained in a low voice, "I went to drink some water."
Yan Xiu's feigned affection was truly disgusting.
However, thinking that she seemed to treat Yan Chen the same way, Yun Qing fell silent.
Yan Chen didn't say anything more, hugged her tighter, and continued to sleep.
Yun Qing pulled herself out of her thoughts, nestled in his arms, closed her eyes, but couldn't fall asleep.
She had always hoped that the plot would go according to her wishes and get back on track, but now that it was about to happen, she didn't feel happy at all.
