Chapter 112: Is This Proper?
Huang Feiyan looked at Yue Qingying. Seeing her looking at Mingyan with eyes full of affection, it was obvious that her love was deeply rooted, and Huang Feiyan’s heart couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
What? You don’t even want to hide it now?
“Don’t you want to explain? Qingying?” Huang Feiyan bit her cherry lips and looked at Yue Qingying with a complicated expression.
She vaguely remembered that when she had first met Mingyan, Yue Qingying had been on her side, finding it strange that she had gotten so close to him. At that time, Yue Qingying had been very puzzled. Who knew that after a series of changes, the Huang family had taken the initiative to send Mingyan to Wind Spirit Moon Shadow, making Mingyan and Yue Qingying senior sister and junior brother. After that, things had gotten out of hand.
Thinking back to when Yue Qingying had fallen in love with Mingyan, it was probably even earlier than when Huang Feiyan herself had. Because at that time, when she had first met Mingyan and later brought him back to the Huang family, she hadn’t had time to seriously consider her own feelings.
Not to mention that the entire Huang family had no experience; although Huang Feiyan couldn’t be said to have had no contact with the opposite sex at all, Mingyan was the first, and also the last, man with whom she had such an intimate relationship.
And by the time she had come to her senses, some kind of feeling had probably already been born between Yue Qingying and Mingyan.
At that time, Huang Feiyan was actually worried. She was quite afraid that she couldn’t compete with Yue Qingying. But after a period of time, Yue Qingying had suddenly taken the initiative to admit defeat. This made Huang Feiyan feel strange, but her heart was also filled with deep, secret joy.
Although Yue Qingying was her best friend, some things could not be shared, so Yue Qingying was also her rival in love. For her rival to take the initiative to withdraw meant their friendship could return to how it was before. She had not lost Mingyan, nor had she lost her best friend. To Huang Feiyan, such a result was naturally the best.
But she had not expected that all of this was a lie. The relationship between Mingyan and Yue Qingying had not been severed… it had just gone from being in the open to being in the dark.
If Mingyan hadn’t taken the initiative to confess to her, she was afraid she would have had to wait a long time to understand…
Huang Feiyan also knew that in terms of scheming, she and Yue Qingying were not on the same level at all. If the two of them intended to hide it, as long as they didn’t want her to know, then they could probably hide it from her for a lifetime…
“Explain? How should I explain this?” Yue Qingying sighed softly. “Feiyan, I don’t want to say too much nonsense. I will not leave my Junior Brother. And, I can tell you very clearly that not only will I not leave him, I will not even have any objections to you staying by his side. I can accept you, and I can also accept others.”
The fact that Mingyan had actually gone to Huang Feiyan to confess had made Yue Qingying a little surprised.
Although she indeed felt a little wronged, now it seemed that confessing to Huang Feiyan was not the best opportunity…
But her Junior Brother had, after all, seen her grievance…
Yue Qingying didn’t have so many complicated thoughts now. She just simply made her own position clear.
“…” Huang Feiyan was silent, looking at Yue Qingying. This statement made her not know what to say.
The two of them knew each other very well. Huang Feiyan was very clear that Yue Qingying was not the kind of person who was easily impulsive, so these words would not have been said on a whim, but were said after careful consideration…
So, the result of her careful consideration was to accept others?
Although it seemed that Huang Feiyan had also accepted the fact that Yue Ningshuang was by Mingyan’s side, that was different. Huang Feiyan hadn’t truly accepted Yue Ningshuang; she just simply didn’t know how to deal with it. Because she didn’t want to be unreasonable in front of Mingyan, she had just turned a blind eye and put the matter aside.
But Yue Qingying’s declaration was obviously not like that…
What should she do? What could she do? Was she supposed to make Mingyan reject Yue Qingying from staying by his side?
A long, long time ago, Huang Feiyan had indeed had such a thought. But even back then, she knew she couldn’t bring herself to say it, because she was very clear that even if she could, Mingyan might not necessarily listen to her.
That’s why when Yue Qingying had taken the initiative to withdraw, it had made her so happy.
And now, Huang Feiyan was even less able to say it.
People, they were afraid of comparison.
Yue Qingying could accept her, could accept other women…
Then what about her, Huang Feiyan? Was she supposed to tell Mingyan that she couldn’t accept it, and that he had to sever his relationship with Yue Qingying for her to continue to stay by his side?
Could they sever it? How was that possible? Even if the two of them could temporarily cut off their romantic feelings, they were senior sister and junior brother. This was a natural relationship from their sect. It was impossible to sever, unless Mingyan or Yue Qingying left Wind Spirit Moon Shadow and did not acknowledge the other as his/her senior sister/junior brother. But just thinking about it, one would know that this was simply impossible.
The old feelings were still there. As long as the two of them had a chance to get close, it was like an ember that had not yet turned to ash and been blown away. The fire was not extinguished; a gust of wind would reignite it.
And, if she said it, would Mingyan really sever ties?
Yue Qingying was so generous, and Huang Feiyan was so petty. Under this comparison, would Mingyan definitely choose her, Huang Feiyan?
Huang Feiyan had never been a person full of confidence. She did not dare to bet, did not dare to bet that Mingyan would choose her, especially when what she gave Mingyan was far from as much as what Yue Qingying gave him.
Seeing Huang Feiyan’s struggle, Yue Qingying’s beautiful face was calm.
There were some things she actually didn’t want to do.
To directly expose her bottom line on this matter to Huang Feiyan now was undoubtedly to strengthen Huang Feiyan’s resolve. It was very likely to help Mingyan make Huang Feiyan have to accept the reality that there were other women by his side.
As a rival in love, what she should do was make Huang Feiyan unable to accept these things, and then take the initiative to leave Mingyan.
But… Mingyan was so protective of her, couldn’t bear to see her wronged, and had taken the initiative to confess to Huang Feiyan. This made Yue Qingying unable to be ruthless.
This Junior Brother of hers had her firmly in his grasp. Those schemes of hers could always be invisibly resolved by him.
Forget it. Anyway, it isn’t just Feiyan among the women by his side. There are others. And, in the future, there will probably be even more.
If I’m always entangled in preventing other women from developing romantic feelings for my Junior Brother, one day, I will be disliked by him, right?
It’s better to just secure my position in my Junior Brother’s heart. This way, no matter what, I will still have a place in his heart, and no one can shake my position.
To pull our Master into the water, wasn’t that also for this purpose?
Yue Qingying gave up. She gave up on dissuading others. Since her Junior Brother wanted a harem, then she would help him. He was a person who valued feelings; he would not forget her devotion.
Mingyan looked at Yue Qingying, knowing that her words would probably have a significant impact on Huang Feiyan…
Thinking of his Senior Sister even wanting to help him win over their Master, Mingyan’s heart was filled with an indescribable emotion.
To have such a Senior Sister, words could not fully express the joy in his heart and his admiration for her. At that time, he could only express it with his actions.
Huang Feiyan lowered her head, her face very conflicted. In fact, she knew what she should do…
The best way to deal with it was to accept all this like Yue Qingying. But to accept it made her heart ache, as if she had lost…
Clearly, at the beginning, she had hoped to have his exclusive love. Now, it had come to this.
There were only two paths before Huang Feiyan: either accept, or leave.
But now that she was so deeply entangled with Mingyan, she simply did not have the option to leave.
Yes, it seemed there were two options, but in fact, from the very beginning, for Huang Feiyan, she only had one option, and that was to accept…
Huang Feiyan finally looked up at Yue Qingying. Seeing that Yue Qingying’s gaze was still calmly looking at her, she couldn’t help but gently clench her fists.
“Feiyan, do you still remember our childhood?” Seeing her look over, Yue Qingying took the initiative to speak. “We could barely be considered to have grown up together. I don’t want to lose my Junior Brother, nor do I want to lose you. Don’t make a choice that will make you regret it, and also make us regret it.”
Hearing this, Huang Feiyan couldn’t help but turn her head, no longer looking at Yue Qingying’s expression. But her clenched pink fists slowly loosened. She said with a wronged expression, “You all are plotting against me, betting that I can’t refuse…”
Hearing these words, how could Mingyan not know that Huang Feiyan had already made a decision?
And unlike her lack of a statement towards Yue Ningshuang, this time, it should be considered that Huang Feiyan had officially acknowledged it…
Mingyan held Huang Feiyan’s waist and placed his chin on her shoulder. He sighed softly in his heart. I’ve wronged you, Feiyan. “Thank you… Feiyan…”
Only then did Yue Qingying finally show a light smile. “This is good. No one has to lose anything. We don’t have to turn against each other. We can still be together as before… this is the best ending.”
The thought of Mingyan confessing to her when she was at her most dazed made Huang Feiyan a little angry. This guy had clearly calculated that she wouldn’t think deeply and wouldn’t refuse at that time, right?
Thinking of this, Huang Feiyan raised her pink fist again and hit Mingyan a few times. Then she couldn’t help but ask, “Then hurry up and tell me, who else is by your side? It’s definitely not just Qingying. There’s also that Ningshuang, right?”
Hearing this question, Mingyan couldn’t help but blink. Can I talk about the remaining few…?
Is it really okay to let Feiyan know?
For example, the Aunt Ning that she seems to be able to accept now…
Because of Huang Qingfei, Huang Feiyan seemed to respect Aunt Ning very much. If she knew that the Yue Ningshuang she had been jealous of was actually the Ning Mengru she respected so much… wouldn’t Aunt Ning’s image in Feiyan’s heart completely collapse?
And the Temptress Sister…
Huang Feiyan had always been very wary of her. If she knew that he had been secretly sleeping with the Temptress Sister behind her back… what would her reaction be?
Also… there’s Nishang. Feiyan doesn’t really support me and Nishang being together… but Nishang’s matter is better than the two above…
My feelings for Master also seem unsuitable to be told to Feiyan…
But now was also a good opportunity. After all, Huang Feiyan had just accepted the fact that there could be other women by Mingyan’s side. To strike while the iron was hot and say it now was undoubtedly the best choice…
Mingyan considered for a while and first told her about Huang Nishang.
“Hmm… Nishang can be considered one…” Mingyan said.
“Nishang…? You and Cousin Nishang only have a relationship in a dream, don’t you?” Huang Feiyan was shocked. No way?!
Nishang?
Yue Qingying only knew that Mingyan and Huang Junyi seemed to be entangled—this was what Yue Wuxia had told her. She didn’t know there was another one, Huang Nishang. She couldn’t help but look at Mingyan, some doubt in her eyes.
And… in a dream… what does that mean?
“Actually, Nishang and I both have memories of the dream. Even after waking up, we can’t pretend that the things in the dream didn’t happen,” Mingyan explained. “So… after that, it was a natural progression…”
“Can the things in a dream be taken seriously? Then aren’t you and Aunt Yue also husband and wife in a dream?” Huang Feiyan couldn’t help but blurt out upon hearing this.
?
A question mark appeared above Yue Qingying’s head. There was such a thing?!
In what dream… had Master actually become Junior Brother’s wife???!!!
Yue Qingying suddenly came to her senses. Only then did she understand why the relationship between her Master and Junior Brother had suddenly become so close after they came back…
Before, she had been a little confused. Why would her Master let her Junior Brother attend to her in her bath? Could it be that her Master no longer cared about the ethical relationship between a master and a disciple?
Now it seemed that the two had long since become husband and wife in a dream. No wonder… no wonder…
“Uh… this…” Mingyan really found it hard to tell Huang Feiyan that he actually had improper designs on his Master and wanted to turn her from a wife in a dream to a wife in the real world…
“…Forget it… you have a relationship with Cousin Nishang, then so be it…” Huang Feiyan’s feelings were complicated. But thinking of the Nishang in the dream, she had also helped her back then… and, they already had a relationship. What could she do?
Huang Feiyan had given up. “Are there any others?”
Seeing Huang Feiyan accept Huang Nishang, Mingyan’s heart sighed in relief. Since she could accept Nishang, then the Temptress Sister, Huang Feiyan should also be able to accept, right?
“Actually… I and your Second Aunt…”
“!” Huang Feiyan was immediately alert. “Wait?! You’re not also having an affair with my Second Aunt behind my back, are you?!”
Mingyan coughed lightly twice to ease the awkwardness, and then still nodded lightly. “To say it’s an affair is a bit harsh… but the Temptress Sister and I can indeed be considered to be mutually in love…”
“Pah!” Huang Feiyan was immediately anxious. She could accept Huang Nishang, because Huang Nishang was, after all, her peer. Besides, the reason why Huang Nishang had gotten together with Mingyan was because of that dream; it was something that couldn’t be helped. But for Huang Junyi and Mingyan to get together, it was most likely because Huang Junyi had seduced Mingyan behind her back!
Is this proper?! She’s an elder! Seducing her own niece’s fiancé?!
Does she have no shame!
Huang Feiyan was immediately furious. “I’m going to find my Second Aunt to reason with her! I’m going to tell my mother! Tell my Little Aunt! Let them see what their second sister is doing!”
