Chapter 40: Maybe We’ll Just Make Do

As expected, Jian Minghui called soon after.

She really didn’t want Jian’s mother and Jian Minghui to know about her marriage to Yu Nanzheng.

But now she couldn’t hide it anymore.

Jian Minghui’s voice came through.

“Sis, did you really marry Yu Nanzheng?”

“Xiaohui, it’s not what you think.”

“What do you mean? You didn’t get married? The netizens are just guessing?”

“No, we did get married, but not the way you think.”

“Sis, you’re confusing me, did you get married or not?”

“I did.”

“Did you get the marriage certificate?”

“Yes.”

Jian Minghui was silent for a minute.

“Sis, did you do it willingly?”

Jian Hongyou smoothed her hair.

“Of course, no one can force me.”

“Do you like Yu Nanzheng?”

“Cough, Xiaohui, you don’t have to like someone to get married. There are many different situations, you’re still young, you don’t understand.”

Jian Hongyou felt like she wasn’t a good sister, what kind of example had she set for Jian Minghui? It was terrible!

If Jian Minghui went astray because of her messed up ideas, she would regret it to death.

Jian Minghui seemed to understand why Jian Hongyou married Yu Nanzheng.

But he chose not to ask further.

“Sis, how long will you be back?”

“A month.”

Jian’s mother took the phone from her.

“Yuyou, bring Yu Nanzheng back for dinner when you come back, I have something to say.”

“……Okay.”

Jian Hongyou knew that this was inevitable.

After hanging up the phone, Jian Hongyou got up, washed up, and went to the set.

Today, she had a lot of scenes, and she filmed until the evening.

She was so tired that she went back to the hotel and fell asleep as soon as she lay down.

Fortunately, she was filming night scenes the next day, so she could sleep in a bit in the morning.

Yu Nanzheng was feeling restless and anxious, and he was very irritable.

He checked his phone eight hundred times a day.

Han Guang could only secretly call Jian Hongyou.

“Madam, please call Mr. Yu.”

“Why?”

“Mr. Yu is waiting for your call.”

“He can call me directly if he has something to say.”

Han Guang facepalmed, both of them had such low emotional intelligence.

One wanted the other to call but didn’t call themselves.

The other didn’t take the fight seriously, and didn’t care if the other called or not.

When you think about it, Mr. Yu was so miserable.

Madam didn’t know what he was angry about, she probably thought he had calmed down.

But Mr. Yu hadn’t gotten over it yet.

What a tragic man!

Han Guang tried to persuade Jian Hongyou.

“Madam, Mr. Yu is a bit embarrassed, don’t be mad at him, call him and coax him. Men sometimes need to be coaxed.”

Jian Hongyou: “…”

“Alright, I’ll call later.”

Han Guang happily said: “Thank you, Madam!”

Yu Nanzheng saw Jian Hongyou’s call, he held back for two seconds before answering.

“Something?”

Jian Hongyou: “…”

“Secretary Han said you were waiting for my call.”

Yu Nanzheng glared at Han Guang.

Han Guang quickly ran away.

Yu Nanzheng retracted his gaze, “Do you think that’s possible?”

“What do you mean? I’ll hang up then.”

“Well, since you called, I’ll chat with you for a bit.”

“Haha, I thank you!”

“You’re welcome!”

“Yu Nanzheng, are you childish?”

“I don’t admit it, I’m a real man, a man’s man.”

Jian Hongyou burst into laughter, hitting the mattress.

Yu Nanzheng didn’t know what was so funny about his words.

“Have you laughed enough? Now let’s talk about things.”

“Okay, you say.”

“Jian Hongyou, do you really mind letting others know that we’re married?”

Jian Hongyou stopped laughing, thought for a moment and said: “Yu Nanzheng, we’re going to get divorced sooner or later, I don’t want to make a big fuss about it. But now it seems impossible, everyone probably knows we’re married.”

The disappointment in Yu Nanzheng’s eyes flashed past.

After a while, he said: “Jian Hongyou, anyway, my goddess won’t like me, maybe we’ll just make do, what do you think?”

Jian Hongyou was stunned.

Make do?

“Yu Nanzheng, are you trying to latch onto me?”

“Is that not allowed?”

“But I haven’t slept with a man yet, you’re planning to make me live as a widow for the rest of my life. I’m not doing that! It’s too much of a loss!”

“What are you saying?”

Yu Nanzheng felt his voice trembling.

He seemed to be in disbelief.

Jian Hongyou treated Yu Nanzheng as a brother, she was carefree and said whatever came to mind.

“I said I won’t live as a widow!”

She hadn’t tasted a man yet.

Yu Nanzheng: “You and Guan Huai didn’t do anything?”

“Of course not! I’m not that kind of person. Back then, I told Guan Huai, we can be together, but you can’t touch me. After two years of observation, I can consider it. Unfortunately, that jerk Guan Huai didn’t pass the observation period and cheated.”

Yu Nanzheng was overjoyed, “Good, your two-year observation period is pretty good.”

Jian Hongyou also felt lucky that she had proposed the observation period back then.

Otherwise, she would have been cheated by that scumbag Guan Huai.

“Jian Hongyou.”

“Hmm?”

“You don’t have to live as a widow with me either.”

“What do you mean? Yu Nanzheng, are you saying I should go find a gigolo?”

Yu Nanzheng almost choked on his own saliva.

He paused for a moment and said: “I’m also a man, I can satisfy you.”

Jian Hongyou was shocked and threw her phone away.

She screamed and roared: “Yu Nanzheng, are you trying to die, what kind of wild words are you saying!”

Jian Hongyou treated Yu Nanzheng as a brother, although she was sometimes confused by him, but she really didn’t think about having a relationship with him.

Even dreaming about kissing Yu Nanzheng made her feel like she was betraying him, defiling this friendship.

Yu Nanzheng tried to tempt her with words.

“It’s risky to find a gigolo, I’m very clean, I have a good figure, and I have amazing stamina. Most importantly, I don’t charge money. We’re married, you can do whatever you want to me, it’s all legally allowed. You’re a big star, you care most about your image, if you find someone outside and get photographed, it’s easy for things to go south, your acting career will be ruined.”

Jian Hongyou: “…”

Yu Nanzheng’s words made sense, he was considering everything for her.

Her mind recalled Yu Nanzheng’s figure she had seen before, every muscle was in the right place, his physique was right up her alley.

It should feel good to roll in the sheets with Yu Nanzheng…

“Cough cough cough, Yu Nanzheng, don’t tempt me. I don’t want to do that with you! I’ll give you two years, we’ll get divorced when the time is up.”

Yu Nanzheng knew it wouldn’t be that easy to trick Jian Hongyou.

But there was plenty of time, he didn’t believe Jian Hongyou wouldn’t give in.

Jian Hongyou said: “Did you hear that?”

“Okay.”

Yu Nanzheng agreed first, anyway, he could always renege later.

Having a specific deadline, Jian Hongyou felt a lot more at ease.

A month later, the period drama finally wrapped.

Xiaoshui pushed her luggage and followed Jian Hongyou out of the airport.

In another direction, Zhuang Xiaohui was blocked by a group of enthusiastic fans.

Zhuang Xiaohui wore sunglasses and walked towards the airport exit with her assistant and bodyguards.

Xiaoshui pouted: “It must be Zhuang Xiaohui who leaked her own schedule, what a scheming b*tch!”
