I was born a Romantic person. Therefore, I have a lot of complicated and sensitive feelings. Furthermore, I was very willing to lavish such feelings unto the person I adored.
Maybe if there wasn’t an annoying Zhao Gongzi, then I might have become a philanderer.
But life doesn’t have what-ifs.
This is all unimportant, the important thing is, Zhao Gongzi isn’t this type of person. Zhao Gongzi is a hard-to-understand person. In his eyes, eating is more important than kissing, clothes are more important than food…he’s a complete realist, so the gifts he gives me are so careless. Of course, he had once given me a present chosen with care, and so I told him to continue not trying.
No matter what, this type of Zhao Gongzi should not have a romantic history that was worth mentioning, but somehow, he did.
The other party was a young lady his age, and was a childhood sweetheart, suited to him in terms of family background, yet I shamelessly came in between them. I robbed Zhao Gongzi of his virtue and reason.
At least, that’s how it was in Uncle Da Li’s eyes.
And it was about how it was in many others’ eyes.
I frequently encountered similar stories such as this in movies and novels before. In most circumstances, this lady would be more malicious than me, so that I could get the higher moral ground.
But she has absolutely no flaws.
She’s the President’s young niece, her personality was open and cheerful, she was a visionary, she had spent time studying abroad, and finished in the top three for beauty pageants. There was no perfect human, she should have had an evil and malicious heart that wanted to harm me, but she bravely pushed me aside when Uncle Da Li backed up the car.
Oh.
If there wasn’t a Zhao Gongzi to stop me, then I would have probably courted her. In truth, I believe that she had some hidden feelings for me.
Then, there is probably another perspective to this situation. In a different version of this story, Zhao Gongzi should have seen past my despicableness early on, and gotten together with her after being separated for so long.
Um…..
Actually, I originally hadn’t planned on telling the truth, but I’ll just say it here privately. The truth is, she and I had a failed budding relationship.
She and I have privately gone on a date before. If not for Zhao Gongzi’s interruption in the middle of it, I might have accepted her confession.
She must have been planning to confess to me, I definitely didn’t misunderstand. Otherwise, I don’t know how to explain those fresh flower bouquets she’s gifted me, or the cards inside of those bouquets, and the lovely romantic words on those cards.
“People often say, love easily destroys everything, including my heartbeat, and my cowardice. Yixin, can you understand?”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
I understand.

“If we can’t freely and bravely pursue love, then why can we still cowardly and regulatorily keep on living? Yixin, do you think what I’m saying is right?”

Zhao Gongzi hung up the phone and looked at me with furrowed brows. “Why are you wearing that outfit?”
Because it’s stylish and makes me look good.
Zhao Gongzi said, “Change clothes.”
I said, “It’s unusual for Miss Yu to come over, I hear she’s representing the President to discuss business with the Old Master. We can’t treat her without the proper respect. What’s more, it was thanks to her help that San Ge could get out of prison……”
Zhao Gongzi said, “Change clothes.”
Zhao Gongzi took out a set of his clothes from the closet, handed them over to me and said, “Wear these, it looks good.”
He was lying!
Although Zhao Gongzi wasn’t willing to admit it, he must have realized that his clothes were very ugly, and was making me wear his clothes on purpose. He remembered with hate the dates I went on with Miss Yu back in the day, and was worried that the feelings between Miss Yu and I would reignite and continue.
I have to say that when Zhao Gongzi’s being petty it makes you want to tease him, or at least it made me remember my grudge towards him when he stole my pillow and didn’t let me buy a new one.
And so, I purposefully showed hesitation on my face.
Zhao Gongzi said, “Change!”
I hesitantly changed.
When we arrived, we could see Miss Yu from afar, in the middle of the crowd like the moon among the night sky filled with stars. After so long since I last saw her, she was even more graceful and was truly a peerless beauty. Not to mention the fact that she was also extremely capable. I hear that, nowadays, she’s the President’s most trusted advisor.
My heart stirred, it hadn’t moved in such a passionate way in quite a while.
Miss Yu came over and smiled warmly at me and Zhao Gongzi. “We haven’t seen each other in so long, I’ve heard you’ve both been very well.”
Master Zhao Si was still struggling over something and said, “How come Xiao Long and Yixin came together? Were you two discussing that partnership business again?”
While Master Zhao Si was speaking, he gave a gentle smile in my and Zhao Gongzi’s direction, one that hadn’t been directed at us in a long time.
I replied, “That’s right, we were just discussing our business partnership.”
Zhao Gongzi coldly glared at me.
I could only try with all my might to convey to him through my gaze that I was being forced. I’m just an orphan that was taken in by Master Zhao, I had to say whatever Master Zhao told me to say.
But Zhao Gongzi just outright rejected my eye signals this time. Tauntingly, he said to Master Zhao Si, “Because I live with him.”
I hate Zhao Gongzi.
Master Zhao Si wouldn’t kill his own son, but could kill me.
I hate Zhao Gongzi.
Miss Yu helped us dissolve the tension in the room, “Actually, I heard San Ge say that. I’ve been thinking of going to your apartment to have a cup of coffee, I’ve heard that the coffee that Yixin makes has been getting more and more aromatic.”
Actually, it was the quality of the coffee beans that Jin Xian’er was gifting me that kept getting better.
I mean the Jin Xian’er from half a year before.
At present, our coffee beans were just about running out.
Because Jin Xian’er wasn’t giving them anymore. A few days ago Zhao Gongzi told me that Jin Xian’er was out on a date with someone else.
Ah. My Jin Xian’er.
I invited Miss Yu. “You can come over to drink coffee, we warmly welcome you.”
Zhao Gongzi said, “This morning, I saw that we’re down to three beans.”
Miss Yu smiled gently and said, “Actually, I brought some coffee beans, specifically for the purpose of gifting you and Yixin. Then I can bring them over next time.”
Zhao Gongzi’s face became chilly once more.
Miss Yu and I chatted awhile, then she was led away somewhere by someone else.
Master Zhao Si coldly looked at us and threatened us. “Attend to Miss Yu to the best of your abilities.”
“Yes, Old Master.”
When Master Zhao Si left, Zhao Gongzi cursed at me, “Fuck, spineless!”
Perhaps he was cursing himself as well.
Someone came to find Zhao Gongzi and before leaving, Zhao Gongzi told me, “Don’t speak nonsense with Yu Huilan.”
“Okay,” I said.
I didn’t have time to speak with Miss Yu, because I saw my darling Jin Xian’er.
…..and Mister Zheng Qi, who was by his side.
Mister Zheng was a graceful and charming businessman schooled in both Chinese and Western academics, I once was head over heels for him, until Zhao Gongzi told me that he was a eunuch.
Oh.
Zhao Gongzi also said, Mister Zheng’s foster sister was a handmaiden from the previous dynasty and was also his wife.
Oh.
Then why was Mister Zheng looking at Jin Xian’er so lovingly, so endearingly and full of pampering?
Zhao Gongzi tricked me, or else Mister Zheng was tricking his foster sister and Jin Xian’er, or else Jin Xian’er was conning Mister Zheng?
Yes, perhaps it was Jin Xian’er scamming Mister Zheng. After all, Zhao Gongzi didn’t have much money left on him to be taken.
This wayward world was full of treachery.
Rinrin: Jelly Yixin hhhhh
I – That..This is my first time with this book but do you always publish with the raw texts in between or was this chapter publishing a mistake?
I’m so sure that Yu girl was supporting them and not coming onto Yixin
I think this chapter being published was a bit premature… seems like the editing was not quite done yet?
Anyway, so that Yu girl has liked the dad from the start?? 😆
I think Yu was just expressing her support of them being gay, but Yixin is so self-centered, he thinks everyone loves him lol
thanks for the chapter <3
Tixin’s heart has gone rogue. Everyone is fair game.
*Yixin
I really want to read this story from Zhao Long’s POV.. what he’s actually thinking behind all his swearing ang cursing…
so do I…..alas, the author didn’t add any chapters through his pov, unlike in FRYG (same author) or some of their other novels
thanks for the chapter!
