Counterfeit Bride – Epilogue
“I think, we should properly talk!” Yun Shi Zheng sat on the chair, pointed at a chair and said: “Sit.”
“……Yes.” Jie Yi sat down.
For a period of time, didn’t know how to start, two people looking at each other blankly for half a day, afterwards Yun Shi Zheng finally cleared his throat and began to speak: “E, that, Yi’r ah, you come to the Yun Family also not for a short while already, adapt to everything yet?”
“Mm, everyone is treating Jie Yi very well.”
“It is a little too much.” Yun Shi Zheng muttered to himself. Hesitating for a while, he pointed at an obvious red mark on Jie Yi’s neck. “Is that done by Tian Yang?” He with a very small percentage of hope asked.
“That?” Jie Yi unconsciously caressed his neck.
“Forget it! Forget it!” Yun Shi Zheng sighed, he truly was a busybody. “That……That…… Do you like Tian Yang?”
Jie Yi was shocked, uncomfortably hung down his eyes.
“Everybody is very nice, I like everyone.”
“We don’t need to go round the curves and skirting the corners1.” Yun Shi Zheng leaned forward, earnestly looked at Jie Yi. “It is Tian Yang who forced you, you don’t have any feeling towards him, isn’t it?”
“No……It is not……” Jie Yi hadn’t finished his line, already got cut off.
“Definitely like that, it can’t be wrong. Tian Yang has always been overbearing. You must be in fear of the Master’s authority, so that you have no choice but to submit to him.” Yun Shi Zheng assumed the correct things by himself.
“Don’t be afraid. As long as you honestly say it, I will make Tian Yang put a little distant from you.” He patted Jie Yi’s hand. “Two men together like this, is a little outrageous, isn’t it?”
“Young Master didn’t force me!” Jie Yi denied.
In front of Yun Shi Zheng, Jie Yi still referred his position as a servant, of course would call Tian Yang as Young Master. In spite of Tian Yang’s objection, he still didn’t have the intention to correct himself.
“It is my own wishful thinking towards Young Master. It has nothing to do with Tian Yang Young Master. Everything is my fault.” Jie Yi hurriedly added. “It is true, Young Master is deceived by me!”
“How can it be?” Yun Shi Zheng curiously asked.
“In the beginning, Young Master thought that I am a woman, also his bride, that’s why the pretending act became real……”
“So it was like that!” Yun Shi Zheng finally knew the sequence of events. “Indeed had troubled you. Tian Yang also too much, that grass and mud house is a storehouse, how can be a place to live in? And he could think it out!”
“At that time, he hated me so much!” Jie Yi because of recalling that memory softly laughed. “All the time wanted to chase me out to leave quickly, he didn’t know that I from long ago have been used to that kind of hardship life. But I feel very sorry towards Tian Yang, I didn’t know the Yun Family was basically is so wealthy, still got him to make a bed, make table and chairs, really had troubled him.”
“What trouble?” Yun Shi Zheng waved his hands. “That is what he deserved.”
“Actually Young Master was also very much suffering. When in grass and mud house, Whatever I cooked he ate, not the least bit complained. I also wasn’t like in his imagination bride, not beautiful at all, and then, riding a horse also got hurt, he completely took care of me, I had caused him to be tired.”
“You rode which horse?”
“Shandian.”
“No wonder you got hurt! Shandian is the most violent horse in the ranch. Tian Yang did it on purpose?”
“…… Afterwards I found out, actually he also hid many things from me.”
“Now I can see why Tian Yang can…….ehm…… like you.” He still couldn’t say out this ‘love’ word. “And Jie Yi, what about you? How can you like Tian Yang?”
“……I…… Initially…… I don’t really understand it at all.” Jie Yi nervously twisted his fingers. Regarding self-analysis of the load on his mind, he was not an expert at all.
“You don’t understand?” Yun Shi Zheng was astonished.
“Initially, I……only wanted a family. Because Tian Yang said he only wanted a wife in name only, I thought it wouldn’t be a problem, he could have a wife, and I could have the family that I had lost long ago. Afterwards……” Jie Yi’s eyes because of recalling the memory became misty. “Afterwards being discovered by Tian Yang, he asked me to leave, I just left. However……”
“However what?”
“After leaving, the heart always felt so heavy, for no reason longing for Tian Yang.” Jie Yi said difficultly. “We obviously had no relation at all, but I have always thought about him, helplessly thought about him.”
He continued his talk in a mutter: “After that, I finally understand this feeling was missing, that heavy feeling was loneliness. By then I finally knew, without my awareness, I have fallen for Tian Yang.”
Hearing Jie Yi evenly narrated, Yun Shi Zheng as if could feel that kind of mood, couldn’t help but be in a daze.
“Originally wanted to quietly leave, for the last time went to the grass and mud house, then return to Jiangnan. Who could have guessed……”
“What?”
“Tian Yang was at there.” Jie Yi embarrassedly said, there was a happy tone in his voice. “He said he was waiting for me to go home, and I was really home.”
“That is fate!” Yun Shi Zheng mumbled.
As for good match or ill-fated relationship, different people different views.
“So, you see!” Jie Yi became eager. “Tian Yang Young Master didn’t force me, everything is my fault.”
“Enough. Don’t need to explain eagerly!” Yun Shi Zheng waved his hand. “Tian Yang is my son, how can I not understand him?” He laughingly said.
“That man ah, is such an overbearing one. What belongs to him, he would hold it firmly. The things he doesn’t like, he would stay far far away from it.”
This seemingly was the fact, beyond all dispute. Jie Yi only could shut his mouth.
“As a matter of fact I indeed can understand why Tian Yang’s so fascinated with you!” Yun Shi Zheng muttered to himself irresolutely.
Fascinated? Jie Yi shook his head. This fascination also unknown could be sustained for how long, he was a man after all!
“You don’t know, how much Tian Yang has changed. Recently he has been smiling a lot to the point of frightening. And also, his attitude towards you is different with how he previously treated those women, also not the same with us.”
There was a slight disturbance in his chest, Jie Yi was secretly delighted.
Maybe…… Maybe Tian Yang really loved him! All along towards Tiang Yang’s love words he put himself like being in a beautiful dream, didn’t have the courage to believe. Now that there was other people saying it out, his degree of confidence was increased not only a little.
“The previous Tian Yang is like an irritable and easily got angry wild horse. Whoever offended him would get their lesson. You see how he gets along with Tian Yi and others, should have a slight knowledge, right?”
“Tian Yang is a little bit fierce.” Jie Yi modestly said, recalling the first time he met Tian Yi Big Brother, Tian Yang rewarded him with several fists.
“But, now he has calmed a lot. Maybe it is because of you!” Yun Shi Zheng scrutinized Jie Yi. “In you, there is a kind of reassuring and peaceful disposition. Just by your side, there wouldn’t be any ruthless air could emerge. Or maybe because of your yielding in everything, not argue with anyone! The more like this, the more it causes people to give you whatever you want.”
“……” Jie Yi didn’t know what he should say.
Reassuring and peaceful, is it? Ever since he arrived in Guanwai, after meeting Tian Yang, he actually felt that that kind of disposition was leaving him further and further away. His heart had more and more demands. Insistently as well as persistently weighed him down. He was so tired!
“Do you know the purpose of me calling you to talk today?”
Jie Yi suddenly shuddered for a bit, nodded his head.
“Let me hear.”
“Want me to go?” Jie Yi obscurely said.
“……” Yun Shi Zheng irresolute for half a day before he spoke: “Originally it is like that.”
Jie Yi anxiously lifted his head, widening his eyes stared at him.
“Do you know about his mother?”
Jie Yi shook his head.
“Me and his mother……” Yun Shi Zheng heaved a sigh. “At that time we were too young. One was an ignorant brat, wholeheartedly only wished to piece together all Guanwai to be his own world. And the other was a delicate woman from a distinguished wealthy family, couldn’t adapt at all with the rough Guanwai.”
“As the result, several years after Tian Hao was born, his mother couldn’t keep up with the circumstances anymore, with another man ran away!”
Jie Yi shockingly gasped.
“That time Tian Yang already understood the matter. Of course he understood his mother was what kind of woman. I hid it, but couldn’t. Hence upon, Tian Yang changed. Changed to detest the world and its ways, also not believed that in this world there would be a good woman, of course towards all noble and wealthy people detested even more bitterly.”
“Can be imagined……”
“The affairs of the upper generation, very difficult to determine who had wronged whom, of course shouldn’t affect the next generation. As for Tian Yang, I already helplessly feel guilty. Hence, I only pray that there would be a woman who could change him.”
“Only that, never expect the person who came was Ling Shuang, a carbon-copy of his mother.” Yun Shi Zheng unceasingly sighed. “I originally looked forward that she at least had a little of her father’s merciful, tolerant and generous character.”
“Young Lady since young has been spoiled, of course will be delicate. Add more her heart has its tie, this thing couldn’t blame her.”
“She threw you a slap really couldn’t see her tenderness and delicacy.”
Jie Yi blanked for a while. Couldn’t help but smile at the truth.
“Since long, when the bride was tardy and not coming yet, I should have known that there was something wrong. But thinking about it over and again, who would have thought that Ling Shuang would actually ask a man to replace her!”
“…… Sorry……” Jie Yi flinched a bit.
“The whole thing that I have expected Ling Shuang to do, you have done it. If not confirm that you are a man, I since earlier had spread my both hands to welcome you. But…… after all, whether it is a good-natured, loved by my son male daughter-in-law, or a strong-willed unyielding, hated by everyone female daughter-in-law, this kind of choice will be difficult for everyone.”
“I will go!” Jie Yi lowered his head said dejectedly.
From the beginning he already mentally prepared to leave. If his existence had created complications for someone else, naturally he had no reason to stay.
“Then how about Tian Yang?” Yun Shi Zheng unexpectedly asked.
“…… We, basically shouldn’t be together.”
“You are indeed rational!” Yun Shi Zheng frowned. “Your relationship, shouldn’t be only that foolish son of mine one-sidedly crazy?”
“…… I …… I don’t want Tian Yang losing his integrity……” Jie Yi firmly said. “I don’t want other people criticize him.”
“You are really thinking for his sake.” Yun Shi Zheng laughed.
“Do you know? Yi’r.” He leaned his body to the front, imitating the way Tian Yang addressed Jie Yi, even though Tian Yang’s strongly not allowing anybody else to call him like that, but he was his father, he ought to be an exception. “If you go just like that, how about Tian Yang?”
“…… Maybe will be sad for a period of time, afterwards he would resume his life like before.” Jie Yi made a conjecture.
Tian Yang was that strong, less him one person, the days absolutely would proceed as usual. Unlike him.
“It should be!” Yun Shi Zheng heaved a sigh. “Only that, compared to before, he would detest the world even more, even more not believe in others. You don’t know, the stronger the outward appearance, the more he strives to show that he doesn’t need whomever, in actuality, inside his heart, he yearns to be loved more than anyone else. Once you knocked open his solid heart’s defense, he will be devoted to you.”
“If you just go without saying anything, betraying Tian Yang’s trust for you. Tian Yang with his prideful nature, how could he accept it?”
The most important thing, if Yi’r disappeared under his care, Tian Yang absolutely wouldn’t be modest towards him, even if he was Tian Yang’s old man, it would be the same.
“But……”
“Do you want to stay?” Yun Shi Zheng came straight to the point. “If because you couldn’t stand that foolish overbearing son of mine so you want to go, I can understand, after all, only a few people can stand him.”
“It is not like that!” Jie Yi with his seldom anger irritatedly cut him off. “Tian Yang’s temper is not that bad!”
“That is towards you!” Yun Shi Zheng innocently shrugged his shoulder. Following next, he adopted a stern countenance: “If you don’t really want to go, then just stay!”
