Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Looking at the woman's stubborn face, Yun Chengze said in a deep voice, "I'm not avoiding you, nor am I unwilling to talk to you."

"No? I'm a person, I can tell for myself."

As Yun Nianchu recalled everything that had happened during this time, she realized that since her mother's divorce, they had been living together. Without Yun Xiwan's interference, she was able to spend more time with her cousin.

However, he was very busy every day, so busy that he didn't get back until late at night.

She waited until very late to see him and prepared a nourishing stew for him, but all she got in return was, "Don't wait for me, go to sleep early."

“I was immature before, and my presumptuous liking brought you a lot of burden. Now I’ve given up, and I won’t bother you anymore. You don’t have to avoid going home just to avoid me.”

Yun Nianchu swallowed the bitterness in her heart. She had always thought of herself as quite good. Even if she couldn't be called likable, at least she wasn't disliked.

However, it was precisely in front of the person she liked the most that she became someone he hated. In order to avoid seeing her, he would wait until late every day before going home and then leave in a hurry early in the morning.

“I’m not trying to avoid you,” Yun Chengze explained.

Yun Nianchu was too lazy to listen. "Whether it is or not, let it be. I saw the Miss Huang that your mother introduced to you today. She is a good girl."

I won't bother you anymore, and you don't need to worry about me messing around. I'll also find a suitable person to marry as soon as possible.

Let's pretend those foolish things I did because of my immaturity never happened. From now on, we'll just be brother and sister.

She is tired.

She had been in love with him for so many years but received no response, and in the end, all she got was his disgust and avoidance.

Now she no longer asks him to like her, she just hopes that they won't completely turn into mutual loathing. She doesn't want the person who has occupied so many years of her youth to end up completely hating her.

Therefore, she took the initiative to create distance.

"Just siblings?"

Yun Chengze's tone rose slightly, his eyes fixed intently on the woman before him.

"You've fallen for Luo Huaili and want to marry him, so you're hoping I'll marry Miss Huang?"

Yun Nianchu instinctively retorted, but then felt that such a retort seemed meaningless, and said, "If you think so, then so be it. From now on, you don't need to worry about my affairs. I wish you a smooth journey and that you can find the person you truly like."

Yun Chengze unconsciously tightened his grip on Yun Nianchu's hand, looking at the girl in front of him who always smiled brightly and charmingly whenever she saw him.

I'll wear my new dress to show him right away, and ask him with a sweet smile, "Cousin, do I look good?"

She would quietly ask him during his nap, "Cousin, could you please stop liking other girls?"

He was present in almost every moment of her life, and he spent all his years surrounded by her.

And now, she's telling him to marry another girl?

"Are you... serious?" Yun Chengze couldn't help but ask again.

Yun Nianchu bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, but she lowered her head, unwilling to let him see her vulnerability.

She didn't want to keep begging for his mercy.

She nodded. "Really."

"Okay." Yun Chengze released Yun Nianchu's hand, took something out of his pocket and put it in her hand. "This is for you."

Yun Nianchu looked at the object in her hand with suspicion. Before she could examine it closely, she heard him say, "If he bullies you, I will not let him get away with it."

As the man turned and left, Yun Nianchu's tears instantly streamed down her face.

She wasn't as open-minded as Ruozhen, able to let go so easily.

She couldn't let go; every moment she looked at him made her want to cry.

When Song Ruozhen saw Yun Nianchu return with red eyes, she asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Yun Nianchu shook her head. She originally wanted to put on a brave face, but when she saw Song Ruozhen's knowing expression that seemed to see right through her, she couldn't help but hug her.

"Ruozhen, I'm still so useless. I can't let go at all."

Song Ruozhen gently patted Yun Nianchu's back, comforting her, "Don't force yourself. How can you let go of feelings so easily?"

“Then you let it go so quickly before,” Yun Nianchu said, sobbing.

Song Ruozhen couldn't help but laugh, "You don't even know what a terrible scumbag Lin Zhiyue is. He spends my money to support other women, and he keeps humiliating me. He doesn't even care about my family."

Would you hesitate if you were in his shoes? Besides, I didn't have any feelings for him to begin with, so naturally I wouldn't be unable to let go.

“If your cousin were like Lin Zhiyue, I don’t think you would have liked him for so many years. You would have kicked him out long ago.”

Yun Nianchu's originally terrible mood was suddenly amused by Song Ruozhen's words.

"Lin Zhiyue is indeed a beast, and he deserves this fate!"

Song Ruozhen looked at what Yun Nianchu was holding and asked, "What is this?"

Yun Nianchu looked at the thing in her hand. It was too dark outside before, and she couldn't see it clearly. Only after Ruozhen reminded her did she realize what it was and open the thing in her hand to take a look.

"This is... a land deed?"

Yun Nianchu looked at the thing in her hand in surprise, not understanding why her cousin would give her the land deed.

Besides the land deed, there was also a hairpin she had seen in the shop before that she liked.

Looking at the blue hairpin, Yun Nianchu's eyes were distant and unfathomable. "So he remembered everything..."

This was a hairpin she had seen while shopping with her mother a few days ago. However, the hairpin was very expensive, and she only looked at it, never expecting that her cousin would buy it.

"The location of this land deed is not cheap!"

Looking at the contents of the land deed, Song Ruozhen immediately knew that this place was very expensive. After all, the original owner had managed the Song family business for so many years, and she knew exactly where the land deed was expensive in the capital.

She remembered that the courtyard was quite large; it was an old residence left by an official, and she heard that it was currently being renovated. She saw that the gate had been completely renewed when she passed by yesterday.

Unexpectedly... this courtyard was actually bought by Yun Chengze.

"Is this courtyard under renovation?" Yun Nianchu asked in surprise.

Song Ruozhen nodded, "Your cousin is giving you a courtyard house as a gift. It's quite valuable. Why don't you pick a time to go and take a look?"

"Why would my cousin give me a yard out of the blue?" Yun Nianchu was completely confused. "I don't need these things. I have a place to live now."

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. If this were in modern times, it would be considered a confession of love with a house as a direct gift, showing maximum sincerity.

"Didn't your cousin say anything to you today?" Song Ruozhen couldn't help but ask. "He was obviously jealous today, and he went to watch the show because he was afraid that Luo Huaili would snatch you away."

Yun Nianchu was slightly taken aback. "How is that possible?"

"Why not? Otherwise, given his personality, would he go to see a play on purpose? Don't you even think about how he got the tickets?"

Song Ruozhen rolled her eyes. They were like gourds with their mouths cut off. With her personality, she would suffocate if she looked at these two guys.

“But he didn’t say anything, and he even wished me and Luo Huaili well…” Yun Nianchu said, stunned.

Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow, "Just like you wished him and Miss Huang well?"

Yun Nianchu: "..."

Song Ruozhen: "..."
