After rebirth, I rejected the Regent, but he pursued me instead

The 29th day of the seventh lunar month is a special day - Jiang Wanyu's birthday.

And it was on this day that Jiang Wanyu was about to turn eighteen.

In her world, this day often means becoming a real adult.

But by accident she traveled to ancient times.

-

The first rays of morning glow floated on Jiang Wanyu's face, waking her up.

He stretched his waist and took a deep breath.

"This is the first morning of eighteen."

She pursed her lips, and with Chunzhu's careful makeup and dressing, her pretty face looked even more delicate.

Looking at herself dressed up, she couldn't help but sigh that she had lived as a young lady for more than three months.

His complexion couldn't help but become much darker.

After all, all of this belongs to others, and no matter how happy you are, it should not belong to you.

"Miss, why are you unhappy this morning? Today is your birthday, you should be smiling."

"Ah."

After listening to Chunzhu's words, Jiang Wanyu put down the burden in her heart, raised the corner of her mouth, and looked at herself in the mirror.

After all, I am eighteen years old. No matter what, I can't be as unhappy as I was before.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyu couldn't help but feel happy, and she couldn't wait to share the joy of being eighteen years old with her "family".

But when she went out, she found that no one in the Jiang Mansion had seen her family.

"Brother, where is the second brother?"

Jiang Wanyu looked at the dead atmosphere with a dull look and felt a little disappointed as there was no celebratory atmosphere at all.

I thought everyone would be nicer to this young lady...

"Young Master Jiang was summoned back to the court by the Emperor early in the morning. As for Young Master Jiang, he went out to play early in the morning, and I told you not to look for him."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyu felt even more disappointed, muttering, "It's fine that my eldest brother left without saying hello to me, but how come my second brother doesn't care about me at all? He went out to play so early in the morning and told me not to look for him."

Thinking about this, Jiang Wanyu turned to Chunzhu and asked, "What about Dad? Dad should be here, right?"

Chun Zhu smiled awkwardly and replied, "The general just came back from the battlefield. He was feeling unwell and went to the pharmacy for treatment early in the morning."

"Ah? If you're not feeling well, why don't you ask a doctor to come instead of asking him to go in person?"

"The general said that he needs to go to the pharmacy to get treatment for his illness. I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."

"OK then……"

Jiang Wanyu lowered her eyes in disappointment.

Well, eighteen years old is not an age worth celebrating in this era.

"In that case, let's go to Huaxiu Pavilion."

"Yes."

After saying that, Jiang Wanyu went to Huaxiu Pavilion.

-

All day long, she watched people coming and going outside the door, and no one mentioned her birthday, which inevitably made her feel a little dull.

"Song Qiyan didn't even come to see me."

Didn't he say he liked me? But I didn't see him care much about me.

I saw him tapping the little man on the table.

I couldn't help but think of the argument with him that day.

Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Song Qi Yan since that day when I had a fight with him.

"You really don't plan to see me?"

His fingertips lightly brushed across the little man that was painted beyond recognition, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

I just didn't respond to him, so why are you so angry? And you keep bringing up Xie Langfeng...

Could it be that he is jealous? !

Thinking back to what Song Qiyan said to her that day, he clearly told her that he liked her, but the sudden confession mixed with his anger prevented her from responding, which only angered him even more.

My ears turned red as I suddenly realized what had happened.

It turns out that he dislikes Xie Langfeng so much because he likes me from the bottom of his heart...

Lying on the table, looking at the little man.

But who would confess so suddenly? And forcefully kiss me again and again...

I don't have time to think about whether I like him or not...

As she thought about it, her thoughts gradually slowed down. To be honest, she had only been in this world for three months.

During this period, she only wanted to repay the Jiang family for everything her status as the eldest daughter brought her by being good to them. She never thought about relying on anyone, or even liking someone.

If Song Qiyan really liked her, then what did he like about her? If she wasn't the eldest daughter, would she still like her? She didn't understand, and she didn't dare to think further.

This identity has brought her a lot, and she cannot rely on this identity to deprive others of their love.

As she thought about it, Jiang Wanyu stared at the little man in a daze.

"Miss, you are thinking about Prince Jing, right?"

Manager Wang walked over and looked at Miss Jiang, who was lying listlessly at the front desk. He then glanced at the little wooden man in his hand that looked very much like Prince Jing, as if he understood everything.

Jiang Wanyu almost jumped up, "I... I didn't! It's just that my second brother wasn't around to make a fuss today, so I felt quiet and bored."

"Oh? Second Young Master, I just saw you at the Sweet Cake Shop buying snacks for some lady."

"Great! My second brother finally showed up! He didn't say anything to celebrate with me, his younger sister, the whole day, but instead went to please other girls."

After saying that, Jiang Wanyu excitedly took Chunzhu to look for Jiang Sheng.

-

In front of the Sweet Cake Restaurant, Jiang Sheng picked out the most delicious cakes in the capital and told the waiter, "Pack all of these up."

"Yes."

Looking at the cakes being wrapped one by one, Jiang Sheng felt secretly delighted.

Wanwan likes the pastries from this restaurant the most. If I could get a spot in the queue, she would definitely be very happy.

Thinking carefully, he turned around and saw Jiang Wanyu. Before he could react, Jiang Sheng was grabbed by the ear by Jiang Wanyu and said, "Oh, my good second brother is here."

"Wanwan?"

Jiang Sheng quickly hid the wrapped pastries behind him.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanyu pulled her face and asked, "What did you hide? Why don't you let your sister see it?"

"nothing……"

"Nothing? I heard from Manager Wang that my second brother wanted to buy cakes to please the girl again."

"Girl?"

Jiang Sheng was stunned.

Is he such a philanderer in Wanwan's mind?

But even if it was just a misunderstanding, it was better than letting her know in advance. "Oh, Wanwan, don't you usually ignore these things of mine?"

"I don't care."

Jiang Wanyu let go of her hand and said unhappily, "But did you forget what day it is today?"

"What day?"

Jiang Sheng pretended not to know and wanted to get Jiang Wanyu away, so he continued, "Wanwan didn't like to pester me before? Why is she pestering second brother every day now? Don't worry about what second brother does. It's better to be like before."

Hearing this, Jiang Wanyu lowered her eyes, feeling indescribably disappointed.

That's right, even though she is wearing the same skin as them, she is not their real family after all. How can she have the right to control her second brother?

He didn't say anything, just walked away feeling a little disappointed.

Looking at Jiang Wanyu's gloomy figure, Jiang Sheng felt a little regretful that he might have said something too much.

But think about it, today's incident was originally agreed to be kept secret from Wanwan, how could he reveal his true colors at this time.

So without thinking too much, he went back to Jiang Mansion to prepare.
