Chapter 4

Aunt Feng looked at Lan Hui in surprise as expected and gently advised. “Huihui, since Brother Wei is already married, you should try your best to keep a distance from him in the future. You’re not married yet. If the villagers find out, they might gossip. Lin Yi said this for your own good.”

Lan Hui did not expect Aunt Feng to stand on Lin Yi’s side. She was so angry that she could not even speak.

Lin Yi smiled smugly and said to the surrounding villagers, “Alright, if that is all, please leave, everyone. Lan Hui, you should go back too. Don’t come over again!”

Lin Yi pulled Wei Luan into the courtyard and closed the door.

After closing the door, Lin Yi’s smile slowly disappeared. She turned her head and looked at Wei Luan. “Did you want to speak up for Lan Hui just now?”

Although they were roommates in the same house, Lin Yi would never agree to Wei Luan speaking up for another woman on the second day of their marriage.

“That’s not it… I just wanted you to stop quarreling. Weren’t you and Lan Hui good friends in the past?”

When the two women were arguing, Wei Luan could not say a word. He did not intend to speak up for Lan Hui. After all, Lin Yi was his wife now.

However, he could not bear to let Lan Hui be reprimanded by Lin Yi in front of the villagers.

“Good friends?” Lin Yi seemed to have heard a joke.

Lin Yi had read the novel before. In the novel, everyone thought that Lan Hui was an adorable girl, but she knew that Lan Hui was not as innocent as she looked.

Lin Yi came to the countryside from the city with Jing Yan, and Jing Yan had a good impression of Lin Yi.

After arriving in the countryside, Lan Hui helped her father arrange accommodations for the female educated youths and became close friends with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi also gave Lan Hui a lot of things from the city, such as scented cream, lipstick, soap, and so on. She also gave Lan Hui two sets of clothes.

Although Lin Yi was portrayed as a vicious and stupid female supporting character in the later stage, she was still very good to her friends before she competed with Lan Hui for the same man.

Lin Yi had put her guard down against Lan Hui, so she did not expect Lan Hui to steal the man she liked.

Lin Yi once told Lan Hui that she liked Jing Yan, and Lan Hui said that she could help Lin Yi see if Jing Yan had any feelings for her. Hence, Lin Yi introduced Lan Hui to Jing Yan, and the three of them often hung out together.

However, Lan Hui began to secretly date Jing Yan, and their relationship advanced rapidly. When Lin Yi found out about this, she realized that her best friend had betrayed her.

Perhaps the original Lin Yi was not a likable female supporting character, but as the female lead, Lan Hui had let down Lin Yi’s genuine feelings for her.

Seeing Lin Yi unhappy, Wei Luan fell silent.

He almost forgot that Lin Yi also liked Jing Yan. Even if she and Lan Hui used to be friends, they were probably rivals in love now.

At the thought of this, Wei Luan felt that Lin Yi did not say that he was her man in front of everyone because she really acknowledged him. Perhaps she was just trying to anger Lan Hui.

The two of them went back into the house. Wei Luan cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen. Lin Yi sat on the bed. After calming down, Lin Yi realized that something was wrong.

If she remembered correctly, in the novel, on the second day of Lin Yi and Wei Luan’s wedding, Lan Hui did not look for Wei Luan.

Lan Hui was supposed to be deeply in love with Jing Yan at this point in time. It made no sense for her to suddenly come over and see a man she never paid any attention to.

Could it be that Lan Hui was here to show off?

Impossible. When Wei Luan opened the door, Lan Hui’s words indicated that she was indeed there to see Wei Luan. She even expressed her concern for Wei Luan.

This was simply abnormal. Why would Lan Hui suddenly care about Wei Luan? In the novel, Lan Hui had never done this.

Lin Yi did not understand what was going on, so she decided to stop thinking about it for now. She stood up and shouted towards the kitchen, “I’m going out for a while, I’ll be back soon!”

Before Wei Luan could reply, the courtyard door opened and closed again.

Wei Luan wiped the water off his hands and frowned as he looked in Lin Yi’s direction.

Where was she going? Was she going to find Jing Yan?

At the thought of this, Wei Luan felt as if something was weighing on his heart. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

Wei Luan hesitated for a moment before he pushed open the door and followed behind her.

Even though Wei Luan did not want to follow her, Lin Yi was his wife now. He could not just watch as his wife went to find another man.
