After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

Chapter 173: Expressing Feelings but Being Rejected

Gu An's marriage was not a big deal, but the fact that he married the prince's only sister was enough to shock the entire Kyoto.

Everyone knew how much the emperor, empress and prince doted on Jianing. If she wanted the stars in the sky, they would be eager to pick them down for her.

Jianing herself was a very good girl. She took after the queen and was very beautiful. However, she was thin due to illness and looked like a beautiful girl from a small family, which made people want to protect her.

Now that she has recovered from her illness and has grown beautifully, Gu An has married such a woman with status, background and gentle personality. All those nobles who are on good terms with Gu An are extremely envious.

Gu An was in great joy the entire day of his wedding. He married his beloved girl and felt that the whole world had become a better place.

The noblemen of his age were extremely unhappy to see him like this and tried to get him drunk.

Chen Jiuchuan helped him block one cup after another, and he was drunk. He turned around and saw him like this, still very happy. He looked up at the sky in silence.

"Okay, stop being silly and go to the bridal chamber. The princess must be waiting anxiously. Hiccup~"

He drank too much and couldn't help burping. He glanced at Jin Yuanyuan beside him, afraid that she would notice his embarrassment.

Jin Yuanyuan obviously didn't notice him. She looked listless and lacked energy today.

When Gu An entered the bridal chamber, He Linyuan covered his head with his hands. He also helped to block a lot of wine and had a headache. Seeing that Jin Yuanyuan was absent-minded all day, he felt a little worried.

"Yuanyuan, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so listless?"

Jin Yuanyuan shook her head, "I didn't, it's just that, hey, my third brother is married, and it's my turn next. My mother is already looking for someone for me, but I don't want to get married yet."

She hasn't had enough fun yet, and there are still many beautiful places to explore. She doesn't want to be bound by a family so soon.

The two men who heard this instantly became alert and sobered up from the alcohol.

Chen Jiuchuan looked at her nervously, "Can't you talk to your mother and consider meeting her next year?"

He hasn't even made Yuanyuan fall in love with him yet, so why is she in such a hurry to get married? What should he do?

Jin Yuanyuan scratched his head in annoyance. "We can get married next year, but we have to find someone this year. That's what my mother told me."

She doesn't have anyone she likes yet and doesn't want to settle down with just anyone.

If she doesn't like them because they can't get along in the future, she won't mind canceling the engagement, but she's afraid that her parents will worry.

He Linyuan watched her fall into deep thought. Chen Jiuchuan also hung his head. He decided to find an opportunity to confess to her that he liked her.

The next morning, the whole family sat together for breakfast.

Jianing always gets up very early. In the bridal chamber yesterday, Gu An was quite sensible. He knew that she was not in good health, so he went to bed in the second half of the night.

Jianing got up early in the morning, and the whole family sat together happily to eat.

Looking at so many people, Jianing smiled even more brightly.

Before, she had never dared to imagine that she could recover from her illness, get married, and suddenly have many more family members, which made her feel warm in her heart.

The most important thing is that she can see Yuanyuan every day now. She liked her very much before, and now that they have become a family, she likes her even more.

The two of them would get together when they had nothing to do, chat about gossip, and then go out to play hand in hand.

There are only men in the family, and there are no women of the same age. Now that Jianing is here, Jin Yuanyuan is very happy, as she can discuss things with her.

Their group of four has become five, and now when they have dinner together and play together, there are always five of them.

That day they were watching a play and listening to music in a restaurant. Jin Yuanyuan saw Jianing and Gu An were being so affectionate, they were almost sticking to each other, it was simply unbearable to watch.

Jin Yuanyuan, don't look back and just concentrate on watching the show.

He Linyuan and Chen Jiuchuan arrived later. Jin Yuanyuan was watching the show when Chen Jiuchuan appeared out of nowhere and scared her.

"Oh my god! Xiaojiu, what are you doing? Why are you walking so quietly? I'm so scared."

Jin Yuanyuan covered her chest with her hands, still a little unresponsive. They came in so quietly.

Chen Jiuchuan seemed to have made a huge decision, and he looked at Jin Yuanyuan.

"Yuanyuan, come out with me for a moment."

He Linyuan had a bad feeling and wanted to follow, but Yuanyuan would definitely not be happy about it, so he suppressed his panic.

Gu An probably guessed what Xiaojiu was going to say. Yuanyuan was old enough to find a husband, so he must be anxious.

He poured a glass of wine for He Linyuan and comforted him, "Don't worry, Yuanyuan may not agree. You still have a chance."

Although he has been with Xiaojiu for a longer time, he feels that He Linyuan is more reliable when it comes to finding a future husband for Yuanyuan.

I just don’t know what Yuanyuan is thinking.

The two of them went to another room, and Jin Yuanyuan looked at him curiously.

"What's wrong, Xiaojiu? Did you call me out to ask something?"

Xiaojiu looked at her, his eyes darting around, not daring to look at her. His palms were sweaty, and he didn't dare to ask directly, so he tried from the side first.

"Well, I... you, your family is going to find a date for you, and my family is also planning to find one for me, so what do you think? How about I..."

Jin Yuanyuan quickly interrupted him, "I see, you want me to introduce you to someone, right? Don't worry, leave it to me. I know a lot of noble ladies from official families, and I will definitely introduce you to a good one."

She was not stupid and knew how he felt about her, but she didn't like him.

They have been friends for more than ten years and don't want anything to become awkward because of this matter.

We all live in Kyoto, and our parents know each other well. I have made it clear that we can no longer be friends, so I can only reject him in a tactful way.

Chen Jiuchuan understood the meaning of her words, and was stunned for a long time. Then he smiled bitterly and tried hard to keep smiling so that he would not be unable to be a friend.

"Thank you, Yuanyuan, but I don't want to look for it yet, it's just that my family is urging me to do it. Since you don't have any good way to help me get away with it, forget it, I'll just find a way myself."

She didn't like herself and never thought of him as a man.

It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel lost, because the feelings he had had for so many years were not something he could just let go of, but their friendship of more than ten years was also real and could not be severed.

At this moment, he felt like there was oil burning his heart, but he was not allowed to cry out in pain. He could only endure it, suffering and agony.

The two returned to Gu An's room. They were no longer as lively as at the beginning and were silent.

It obviously didn't work. He Linyuan knew it was immoral, but he couldn't control the smile on his lips.

Chen Jiuchuan looked at He Linyuan and lowered his head in disappointment.

I don’t know whether Yuanyuan will be with him in the future.

He also noticed that He Linyuan liked Yuanyuan.

He just hopes that he can succeed. Instead of letting Yuanyuan be with someone they are not familiar with, it is better for her to be with He Linyuan, whom he knows well. He will also feel at ease.

To Yuanyuan, he sometimes acts more like a brother, and he is content as long as she is happy.

For a long time, Chen Jiuchuan did not attend any gatherings of five people and often avoided them. Jin Yuanyuan also did not come out for a long time, for fear of not knowing what to say if they met.

I didn't see it until the day of the imperial examination.
