Counterfeit Bride Chapter 5

When the light of the early morning slanted through the window, the whole night sleeping so well Shi Jie Yi was in a cheerful frame of mind. The body entirely free from worry greeted the new day. When he wanted to spread his pair of arms, to greet the wonderful new day, by then he realized that he was still being held in Tian Yang’s embrace.

These several days, Tian Yang, probably because of his physical strength hadn’t recovered yet, had done everything for him. He didn’t have to do whatever things by himself. Also, at night, for the reason of developing the intimate feeling between the two, insisted on hugging him to sleep, if he happened to remember, he would perform the causing one’s heart to jump in a skipping beat ‘practice’. 

If not too clearly remembering at that time, Tian Yang with angry voices and harsh words severely announced, he nearly had a kind of misconception that Tian Yang was ‘doting’ on him. However, that was certainly impossible, wasn’t it?

The heart though understood, yet the body had its own will.

Didn’t need a long time, he had been used to Tian Yang’s tight embrace, used to that attractive voice, warm breath, that carrying potent liquor accent, a sober and steady type of heartbeat, also...... that kind of making one’s face flushed red intimidate kisses, as if it had gradually become the part of his life. 

Unwittingly, Tian Yang’s scent just like that flooded all around him, like the existence of air. Just lifting his eyes, he already could see that mischievous figure. Without any awareness, he had always sought for Tian Yang. As soon as Tian Yang wasn’t there, he would act on his own initiative to search for him. Until he had found him, his heart could finally be at ease.

To be so dependent on someone seemingly was not so good. Especially when he himself was also a man. He should strive for self-improvement. His mind was having this thought, yet Jie Yi was helpless to extricate himself from this difficult situation, could only allow himself to rely on Tian Yang.

How could it be like this? Jie Yi with disbelieving eyes looked at the wearing a sleeping face in front of him. Since when, was he actually this accustomed to his existence? If this goes on, when the time he had to leave had come, how could he just walk away?

“How hateful......” Jie Yi couldn’t help but mumble to himself.

Tian Yang shouldn’t treat him this well, so he wouldn’t have excessive expectations, wanted to be always with him. Tian Yang should be like the first time they met, such a villain. However, he had tasted his tender care, Jie Yi wasn’t sure if he could accept his cold manner.

No matter what, Tian Yang shouldn’t treat him this well......so carelessly and haphazardly, so he wouldn’t have that wrong impression as his wife, forgetting the reality of his own ident.i.ty as a man, straightaway indulged in his sweet affection.

The more terrible thing was, often after every one of their intimate contact, recalling that so-called ‘practice’, his heart gave rise to a feeling of a sense of loss. Yet, every time he became aware that he actually had that kind of sense of loss feeling, Jie Yi became even more unknowing of how he should manage with it.

“So early in the morning, what are you mumbling of?” Eyes still heavy with sleep waking up, Tian Yang lightly printed a kiss on Jie Yi’s cheek, asking with a husky voice.

“Nothing!”Jie Yi you wouldn’t be such a fool to confess, to admit that waking up so early in the morning, wrecking and turning his brain, all he thought about was him.

These words if escaped his mouth, he could imagine Tian Yang would let out what kind of particular laughter. He wouldn’t be such a fool!

“Is it?” Tian Yang sat his body up, stretching himself. His arms because of becoming Jie Yi’s pillow for the whole night ached a little. But Tian Yang wouldn’t foolishly complain for this petty matter.

Waiting for his movement of limbs to become agile for a bit, he pulled that somewhat anxiously looking at his arm Jie Yi, lowered his head to cover those enchanting l.u.s.ter red lips, carefully tasted the sweet-smelling of the lips.

“Ah ya......” Jie Yi still had the time to make a surprised voice, following next he became powerlessly limp in Tian Yang’s bosom, closing his eyes allowing him to hug him, kiss him, his whole person was soft as if melting.

Just this kind of tipsy as if drunk feeling! Hateful. Why did Tian Yang’s kisses gave him such a difficult to resist feeling, just a little he already enchanted and lost himself. Hateful, hateful. The poor him living for seventeen years, there was none who ever gave him this kind of feeling.

Of course, he had never had an intimate kissing experience, perhaps this was one of the reasons. If...... If he had a little experience, he wouldn’t get in the state of agitation by Tian Yang, right?

A long while after, Tian Yang let the two to have the chance to take a breath. Seeing Jie Yi’s half closed eyes, appeared to be angry but seemed like bashful, Tian Yang couldn’t help but be intoxicated. But, his intoxication, very quickly was smashed by Jie Yi!

“Where should I go, so that I can learn to be like you, having such great kissing skills?”

“You?” Tian Yang shockingly let go of Jie Yi, changed to seize his chin. The just now still heavy with sleep eyes had vanished, his eyes were flashing with radiance. “What do you want to do?”

“I only thought......”

“Don’t ever think about it!” Tian Yang raised his voice. “I won’t allow my wife to have an illicit affair!”

Saying that as if he himself was a very faithful person! Jie Yi angrily thought, but he didn’t have the guts to say it out loud.

“Who wants to have an affair?” Jie Yi furiously retorted. “I only wanted to say, you......” His face abruptly floated up a wisps of red cloud, awkwardly said. “Your kissing skills are extremely good, only this.” His voice was low to the point it couldn’t be any lower.

Hearing this, Tian Yang proudly laughed, the just now anger was as if as transient as a fleeting cloud.

“You want to learn?” He teasingly whispered in Jie Yi’s ear. “Don’t worry, I will teach you. No need to go outside to learn.”

The warm breath, warmed Jie Yi’s tickled and became red ears, withdrawing his neck wanted to dodge, but in a flash, he again got pulled back into Tian Yang’s bosom. The overbearing pair of arms didn’t have the intention to let him go.

“You......” Saying you for half a day, still couldn’t complete the whole you sentence. Jie Yi could only pause his sulky anger.

It must be his natural slave character, so that he could be so useless. As good as hearing Tian Yang’s order, his reaction would be a beatslower. If this goes on, he absolutely would be eaten by Tian Yang.

“Don’t be angry!” Tian Yang gently pacified him, deliberately talked in Jie Yi’s ear, knowing Yi’r towards his voice was powerless to resist.

Of course, Jie Yi’s body trembled, the ears became even redder!

“Yi’r, I have thought about it!”

“Mm?”Since he was unable to struggle free, Jie Yi simply reclined on his chest.

Though his mouth didn’t admit it, he in fact loved it the most, the feeling when Tian Yang hugged him, seemingly had fully experienced the blessing, being treasured by Tian Yang.

“You will not leave the Yun family, right?” These words he had asked a lot of times, but still wanted to hear Yi’r’s reply, again and again.

“Not leaving.” Jie Yi replied in certainty.

It was already more than ten days, why did Tian Yang still ask again and again, he really wanted him to go? But his tone of speaking......Jie Yi was confused. Tian Yang actually wished him to go, or wished him to stay?

“Yi’r!” Tian Yang tightly held him, satisfyingly laughed. “You may not leave my side.”

This obviously was an affirmative sentence, didn’t need Jie Yi’s answer, for this reason Jie Yi only frowned. Don’t leave the Yun family, of course must stay beside Tian Yang, after all, his status was Tian Yang’s ‘wife’, there was nothing strange with it. But Jie Yi always felt that these words of Tian Yang, seemingly had an ambiguous sentiment.

Lifting his head, Tian Yang’s smiling face was splendid, in an instant, Jie Yi actually was dazzled endlessly by the brightness, could only stare at him in a daze.

Seeing his cute expression, Tian Yang was unable from restraining himself from lowering his head, forged a memorable hot kiss for him, kissed to the point Jie Yi’s mind had become a layer of blank s.p.a.ce, only remained a hard to describe heat on his body.

This effect obviously went both-way. Tian Yang’s condition was not at all better than Jie Yi. He could see him inhaling for several mouthfuls of air, so he could forcefully press down his breathing spell.

“Yi’r,” Tian Yang asked with his coa.r.s.e cackling voice. “We...... What if we became a real husband and wife?”

Once those words were out, Jie Yi felt as if his whole body had been splashed by a bucket of cold water, washed away his strength and the entirety of the heat. With all his might he struggled to break free from Tian Yang’s embrace, retreated until he hit the wall before he stopped.

“You...... what did you say?”

Tian Yang towards his frightened reaction was extremely displeased. But he still restrained his temper to say it once again.

“I said, what if we become a real husband and wife?”

“That...... what does that mean?” Jie Yi hemming and hawing asked.

A real husband and wife? Though he didn’t have the experience, but wasn’t unknowledgeable at all, still knew what kind of things were done between a husband and wife. He didn’t stay alone in the Ling’s house servant’s quarter. Should be heard and shouldn’t be heard, not a small amount had been heard by him, only hadn’t personally experienced it.

“Just the same as what people called a husband and wife. What should be done is the same!” Tian Yang straightforwardly said. “Including producing a male heir to continue the family line.”

Of course, Jie Yi could only feel this great turn of events was far from good.

“But...... you said......”

“I know what I have said.” Tian Yang impatiently cut him off. “But since now you have firmly decided to stay in the Yun family, we are also getting along well, especially on some certain aspects, much better than expected! I can’t see why we can’t be a real husband and wife.”

Jie Yi because of the objects indicated in the talk, couldn’t help but flush red.

“But...... But......”

“Your speech can’t just be completed even once?” Tian Yang curled his lips, still unhappy because of Jie Yi’s reaction. His speech became a bitharsher. “Yes-yes no-no, completely unlike a young lady from a rich and influential family, even the slightest bit of imposing manner you don’t have.”

He was only a servant, how could he exhibit that pressing and imposing speech manner? Jie Yi felt wronged inwardly.

“I won’t become your real wife!”

The h.e.l.l with that! The refusing words indeed said with a powerful and resonating voice. Tian Yang’s face lost its control and angrily glared at him.

“Why?” Tian Yang questioned him. “As the Yun family’s eldest daughter-in-law, do you think you can escape the responsibility of producing a male heir to continue the family line? At the time father noisily shouted wanted to hold grandchildren, but you cannot have even one child, could I tell father, because we are only a pretend husband and wife, so couldn’t have grandchildren forever?”

“But you......” JieYi stuttered again. “You said...... Said you will never touch me.” That’s why, he could boldly stay.

“I may not change my mind?” Tian Yang said irresponsible words.

“But......” Jie Yi’s divine light flashed by. “You already have someone you love, I don’t mind if you want to bring her into the family.”

“So generous?” Tian Yang narrowed his eyes unhappilysaid.   

“......it can’t be helped......” Jie Yi lowered his voice.

Tian Yang knitted his eyebrows. What was with that can’t be helped? Really unwilling him taking a concubine, there were many means to prevent him.

“Don’t you love another one?” Jie Yi suspiciously asked. “Like this...... if with me you’re doing this thing, don’t you wrong the other person?”

He was moving a stone to smash his own leg. Tian Yang absolutely never had thought, he would be trapped by his own words he said at that very first meeting. If now he wanted to take it back, he wouldn’t have the face to admit that everything was merely a lie.

“Yi’r.” Tian Yang pulled him back, gently hugged him, the palm slowly caressed his head, whispered to him. “If I said, I don’t have someone I love, then......do you want to become my wife?”

“......Don’t know......” Jie Yi said with a bit of sadness.

He should honestly have told Tian Yang, he as a matter of fact couldn’t become Tian Yang’s wife, but...... Tian Yang’s embrace was so comfortable, this gra.s.s and mud house although old and broken, but the feeling was so warm, he still was unwilling to leave.

“Forget it, we still have a long time. Talk about it next time!”

Didn’t get Jie Yi’s definite answer, Tian Yang was disappointingly let him go. The originally intended to say words was being swallowed back.

“Today there are things I need to manage on the ranch, you stay home to have a good rest.”

Could see that Tian Yang was holding in his anger, Jie Yi didn’t dare to demand to go together, could only obediently nodded his head.

※※※※　　

How strange, it was but less only a person, why......why did it become so quiet, so lonely......

Tian Yang since morning had left in a fit of pique, didn’t return in the afternoon, until now, when the sun is almost set in the west, still hadn’t seen a trace of him. After Jie Yi came to this ranch, this was the first time he spent his time alone for such a long time.

The ranch was so large, as far as one’s eyes could see was a vast expanse of gra.s.s and sky, the boundless land. All of a sudden Jie Yi had a false impression that he was left alone. The state he had become accustomed with. He gathered bothhis hands to hug himself, to get rid of the restless feeling, guarding at the door waiting for Tian Yang to come back.

Ever since he arrived in Guanwai, the previously often hit him uneasiness as if had disappeared. Why? Just because there was someone by his side most of the time, at night there was someone that held him tightly in his sleep, so he could not feel the uneasiness?

So now, once Tian Yang was not by his side, he had started to feel uneasy, started to feel afraid? But...... before, when he was in the Ling family, alsothe people who treated him well were a lot, like Uncle housekeeper, Aunt Li...... they treated him well, but the uneasiness had never disappeared.

Yet, once Tian Yang held him, from the bottom of his heart he felt the warmth. As long as Tian Yang was a little nice towards him, he was happy as if flying. This thing......didn’t it mean for himTian Yang, was a special existence?

But...... He was a man, Tian Yang was also a man. He shouldn’t fall in love with Tian Yang, one day, he must leave this ranch, so...... may not allow Tian Yang to become too important.

But, lived together with Tian Yang only for more than ten days, he in such rapid speed wasused to Tian Yang’s existence, as if he ought to be by his side. Only now warning himself, wouldn’t it be too late? 

“So late already, why still not home yet?” This was his own ranch, shouldn’t have encountered any problem, right?

Then...... was it Tian Yang didn’t want to come home anymore? Was it like that? Jie Yi bit his lips, the restlessness in his heart deepenedmore and more. 

Hateful! n.o.body accompanied you to eat, accompanied you to talk, and was such a lonely thing. The more hateful things were, he had been since long ago used to this matter, Jie Yi didn’t know why he was so helpless to endure it now!

From afar, there was a sound of someone riding a horse.

He is home! Jie Yi couldn’t control his own legs, running forward to greet, his face couldn’t hide the bursting out smile.

No, not Tian Yang! It was a didn’t know who coming from somewhere tall and st.u.r.dy man.

Jie Yi’s smiling face turned to a doubtful one, staggering retreated several steps, frightfully staring at the tall and st.u.r.dy, fierce looking person in front of him. This person was covered by dispersing hair, revealing his st.u.r.dy chest, the bronze-colored skin was glistening under the remaining light of sunset, the bulky muscle on both arms, powerfully grasped on the reins, from a high place looking down at Jie Yi.

“You......” The words hadn’t left the mouth, Jie Yi already in a speed of light ran into the house. With a loud bang closed the door.

“What the h.e.l.l!” Yun Tian Yi glared at the wooden door in front of him, couldn’t help but scorn: “Why do you look like as if you are seeing a ghost?”

“Open the door!”

“Who are you?” Jie Yi mustered up his courage to ask.

“It’s me to ask who you are!”

Yun Tian Yi pondered, he actually had no need to be so polite, this place was the Yun family’s property, he was also one of the Masters, that person inside secretly stayed in the Yun family’s property, must be a little thief.

Feeling that his conclusion was reasonable, Yun Tian Yi violently gave it a push, causing the frail door to widely open. The originally leaned on the back of the door Jie Yi was pushed by the great force, retreating several steps before he tumbled to sit on the floor.

“Aiya, really sorry!” Once the words left the mouth, Yun Tian Yi regretted it.

This little person before him was a little thief, may not because she had a delicate and charming expression, show her pity and tenderness.

“You...... What do you want?” Jie Yi asked in pain.

“What is a girl like you doing alone in this place?”

“I am not alone!” So frightening, this person upon a closer look was much bigger, his outer appearance although handsome, that coa.r.s.e and wild in disorder hair had greatly reduced his refined and cultured flavor. It was said that Guanwai’s uncivilized men could eat humans and drink blood, could it be the truth?

“Don’t come here!” Jie Yi’s hand even if shaking, still forced himself to smoothly grab the wooden stick on the floor to face him.

How weird, Tian Yang with this person in front of him didn’t have much difference in height, but he never gave him such an oppressed feeling.

This little thing wouldn’t be thinking this small wooden stick would be able to deal with him, right? Yun Tian Yi couldn’t help but laugh in spite of himself.

Eh? This gra.s.s and mud house since when has it become this clean? Not only the window had become cleaner, the miscellaneous things on the floor also had disappeared. Also there were a new table, chairs, andwooden bowls. Looks like it was true that there were people living in this place, not only one person. Looking at the table, two pair set of bowls and chopsticks were arranged, several dishes of green edible herbals was seemingly tasty.

“Here has nothing to be stolen.” Jie Yi said in high voice.

This person made an uproar to burst in toenter, probably was a robber. Such a shame he had robbed the wrong place! So stupid. This house was looking as old and broken, the inside was even older and broken. Basically there was nothing to be taken. This robber truly didn’t have good eyes.

“That is your experience?” Yun Tian Yi amusingly said. As it turned out, she had regarded him as her senior in stealing?

Fine. Looking at her unceasingly shaking cute expression, he would be just like what she wished-for to frighten her!

“Who said there is nothing?” Tian Yi pulled a face. “This place still has you, isn’t it? If there is nothing to be robbed, then I will just rob the beauty.”

Jie Yi’s face color turned to white. Wanted to rob......rob the beauty? Did he refer to him? But...... He was a man, even if wearing women’s clothing. In addition, even Tian Yang hadn’t ever touched this body, would be touched by this robber’s hand?

No. He didn’t want!

“Don’t come here!” Jie Yi tightly grasped the only tool to defend himself on his hand.

Extremely amusing! Boldly regarded the lord as guest, stealthily resided in the Yun family’s property, surprisingly didn’t have the slightest of nerve. However, seemed like it was not right to say it like this. She obviously rustling and shaking, yet still bravely faced him, still brave enough to hold a stick to threaten him, didn’t start to run away on her heels, also didn’t faint to dispose of a matter, actually caused someone unable not to admire her.

Tian Yi a.s.sumed a posture to approach. Jie Yi busily lifted the stick, shouted at him to go away. However, it was granted that, any showiness but no practical skill was no opponent for Tian Yi. Could only see Tian Yi agilely launch his attack, stretching his big hand in a lightning speed, hooking his neck.

“Ah!” Jie Yi only could feel the neck become tight, following next he was pulled into Tian Yi’s bosom, couldn’t make any movement.

He is dead! Jie Yi wholeheartedly regarded him as a robber, could only think that this time he definitely was unable to stay alive. When death was before him, he was still thinking about seeing Tian Yang one last time, eating with him one more time, letting him hug him one more time, and......

“Tian Yang......” He couldn’t restrain to call out the name.

“You know Tian Yang?” Being surprised, Tian Yi loosened his clamping hand. Maybe things were not like what he thought at all.

Jie Yi frightened and didn’t have the plan to answer him.

At this moment, from outside the door transmitted a sound of horse hoofs. The two looking at the coming person out of reflex.

Tian Yang from afar seeing the two intimate posture, in an instant his anger raised up. The horse hadn’t stopped yet he already jumped down, pulling Tian Yi apart from the Jie Yi by his side, pushed him to tumble on the floor, seizing his hand, with a sudden force he launched his fist.

“What the h.e.l.l are you doing?” Tian Yi still had the time to incline his face, to avoid the handsome face from suffering a calamity, but the following fist was getting close to his belly, this time he didn’t have such a good luck to avoid it!

“You are crazy!” Tian Yi turned his hand over to grab Tian Yang’s front clothes. “Why do you hit me?”

“You deserve to die!” Tian Yang furiously pushed aside his hand. “Dare to touch my woman!”

“I didn’t.” Tian Yi this time could finally understand the relationship of the woman in front of him and Tian Yang. “Who would have known that she is your woman!”

“He...... he wanted to rob the fortune and body.” Choked and coughed for several times, Jie Yi desperately added.

“Rob fortune and body?” Tian Yang’s eyes were covered with rage. If by any chance he was a little late in coming home, what would happen to Yi’r?

“I was only joking!” Tian Yi busily explained.

“Absolutely not funny.” Tian Yang didn’t let him finish his speech, once again he warned him on his face, this time Tian Yi didn’t have the time to dodge. “I won’t allow you to touch my wife. Want a girl, go find one in the town. Don’t try to hit on Yi’r.”

This time the hit was not light, Tian Yi could feel his gum bleeding. “I didn’t touch your wife.” He muttered. “Who knew that she is your wife ah!”

“You lie. I have eyes, can see what you are doing.” Tian Yang gritted his teeth.

Tian Yi lowered his head to look at his stripped to the waist upper body, it was awful! “This is a misunderstanding. I swear I didn’t touch your wife. I just finished my work, that’s why I’m in this shameful state. Not because I wanted to take advantage of her...... Besides, it was her who took that stick to hit me, I am the victim......”

“Tian Yang...... I...... I was afraid......” After calming down, Jie Yi’s legs went soft, almost fell to sit on the floor, Tian Yang right in time to hold him.

“This is your fault!” Seeing the condition, Tian Yang couldn’t help but hurtfully roared at Tian Yi. “You have frightened her!”

“How would I know your wife will appear in this warehouse?” Tian Yi was extremely innocent. “Having a good house didn’t want to stay, instead come to stay in this gra.s.s and mud house. The Yun family is unlikely not to have a house, why do you need to move into this broken house to hide a beauty? Caused me to think who was this little thief, coming to stay in the Yun family property as a lord!”

“Shut up!” Tian Yang hurriedly roared. If he said some more, everything would be revealed. If the things sooner or later would be exposed, he would rather tell Yi’r himself. “You can get out now.”

“Fine!” Tian Yi had no choice but to get out. The door almost hit his high bridged nose.

So she was actually Tian Yang’s wife from Jiangnan.

The people on the ranch were extremely curious about Tian Yang’s wife. Widely opened their eyes to see how Tian Yang prepared to treat his delicate and fragile wife. After all, except for Uncle, everyone completely understood Tian Yang towards his hadn’t met wife, how much he was ‘fond of’.

Never had thought Tian Yang’s wife since earlier had arrived at the Yun family, still being hidden by Tian Yang in this gra.s.s and mud house. Truly couldn’t have guessed how Tian Yang mistreated his delicate and fragile wife. The dishes on the table, absolutely not made by Tian Yang, then definitely was cooked by his wife!

Looks like, Tian Yang’s wife also not as spoiled as he had imagined!

After all, she still bravely grabbed a stick to resist him! Also Tian Yang, seeing him burning with jealousy and a nervous face, seemed like he actually cared for her.

Ha! Ha! He’s going to see some fun in the future.

Wait until Tian Yang brings his bride and returned to the big house, he would definitely entertain himself. If not, he could not appreciate the little bride’s splendid expression!

End of Chapter 5.
