Sui Yan left in a hurry to find Yuejian.
If he remembered correctly, the Fifth Prince would visit Banhua Tower today and fall for Yuejian’s beauty. He would buy Yuejian and bring him back to his manor. In his past life, Yuejian’s suffering had started from there.
Sui Yan held onto his cloak and quickly passed the downtown area, entering Wanhua Tower. The owner had a deep impression of the young master who visited the red-light establishment for their sweet buns and not the girls. When she saw Sui Yan, she didn’t even bother to greet him.
Sui Yan grabbed a servant and instructed, “I want to see Yuejian.”
The servant froze and murmured, “Miss Yuejian has a customer right now. Young Master might have to wait…..”
Sui Yan frowned, “How long do I have to wait?”
The servant smiled, “Around two hours.”
Sui Yan took a deep breath and replied, “Alright.”
He thought for a bit and said, “Bring me some sweet buns.”
The servant, “……”
The corner of the servant’s lips twitched as he replied, “Of course.”
Sui Yan began to chew on his sweet buns. After four hours, the servant finally brought Sui Yan upstairs to see Yuejian.
Yuejian’s room was filled with the scent of wine, along with a hint of the fragrance of evening primrose.
Yuejian sat on a small couch near the window, dressed in bright red robes. He looked down at the streets below with a cold gaze.
When Sui Yan entered, the servant closed the door behind him.

Yuejian turned his head slightly to glance at Sui Yan.

Yuejian trembled and instantly stopped pretending to be a woman. Even though his face was full of makeup, it couldn’t cover that he was a man.
Sui Yan tsked. In his previous life, Yuejian had already recovered his identity as a man when the two of them first met. Even though Sui Yan knew that Yuejian had once disguised himself as a woman, he couldn’t imagine what it looked like.
In this life, he was able to see Yuejian act as a woman. Using just his eyes and actions, Yuejian could completely conceal his gender and identity. It was terrifying.
If he hadn’t known that this was Yuejian, Sui Yan would probably have believed that he was a woman.
Yuejian looked at him coldly.
Sui Yan didn’t move. He held onto his hand warmer and lightly said, “You still have half a day to think about whether you’re going to follow the Fifth Prince or me. But I can tell you right now, if you go to the Fifth Prince’s Manor, your life is going to be ruined.”
You will be forced to become a courtesan. You will not have any measure of freedom or independence, and nothing will go as you have hoped.
Yuejian’s lips moved.
Sui Yan continued, “I know you want to enter the Fifth Prince’s Manor to avenge your father, but have you ever thought about the power of wealth? No matter how well you conceal yourself, as long as there is enough money, your true identity will be uncovered one day.”
Sui Yan walked over and looked at Yuejian condescendingly. His lips curled as he gently lifted Yuejian’s chin, “First of all, once you enter the Fifth Prince’s Manor, you won’t be able to conceal the fact that you are a man.”
Yuejian closed his eyes, looking humiliated.
Sui Yan smiled meaningfully, “The Fifth Prince doesn’t discriminate against men or women. If a beauty like you is exposed, he probably won’t even be mad. He will just…..”
He leaned towards Yuejian’s ear and whispered something provocatively. Yuejian suddenly waved Sui Yan’s hand away and sharply said, “Enough!”
Sui Yan smiled, “If you pick him, you will definitely experience these things. What? You are allowed to do all of this, but you won’t let me talk about it? What sort of reasoning is this?”
Yuejian was infuriated, and he took a few deep breaths before he replied, “I am a courtesan. Even if I say that I sell my skills and not my body, I am still a courtesan. Aren’t courtesans bought just to do these things?”
He paused and asked, “Aren’t you going to do the same thing?”
Sui Yan froze.
Yuejian mistakenly thought that Sui Yan had a guilty conscience and coldly laughed, “Everyone in the capital knows that even though Little Young Master is arrogant and mischievous, he is still honest and pure, and that he comes to Banhua Tower just to eat sweet buns. Who could have imagined…..Hah!”
Yuejian’s laugh made Sui Yan’s face pale. He didn’t know what to say, “No, what did my attendant say that makes you think that I am interested in you?”
Yuejian gritted his teeth and enunciated each word, “He told me to be obedient and serve Little Young Master well so that I wouldn’t suffer in the future.”
Sui Yan, “…..”
What sort of people had his father left for him? They couldn’t even pass on a message.
Sui Yan felt desperate, “Then did you see the letter that I sent you?”
Yuejian nodded, “I did. It was absurd and licentious.”
Sui Yan, “……”
Even skeptics don’t act like this!
Sui Yan was so angry that he couldn’t think clearly. It took him a moment before he replied, “I’m only……fifteen.”
Yuejian said, “Thirteen to fifteen-year-olds are driven by strong urges.”
In his previous life, Yuejian’s mouth had been full of barbed words, and he often caused Sui Yan to be at a loss for words. Unexpectedly, Yuejian had been like this even before experiencing all of those hardships.
Sui Yan clutched his chest, feeling like he was going to die of anger.
It took him a while to catch his breath. When Sui Yan saw Yuejian’s beastly expression, his anger suddenly rose, and he coldly said, “Your younger sister is in my hands.”
Yuejian, “……”
It was Yuejian’s turn to be furious.
Sui Yan had finally released his anger, and he said, “Have you made up your mind yet? Are you going to leave with me?”
Yuejian gritted his teeth, glaring at him. It looked like he wanted to bite Sui Yan to death.
A while later, he glared at Sui Yan in humiliation and defeat and said, “I……I will go with you. Don’t touch my sister.”
Sui Yan raised his brows, overjoyed at having recovered lost ground.
