My Husband Is Not Easy To Mess With. - Chapter 15: What I Want Is Not Such a Superficial Thing

Chapter 15: What I Want Is Not Such a Superficial Thing

When Nie Yao left for the border twelve years ago, he had written several letters back, but no one replied.

Later, he was too busy and didn’t have time. The gift he prepared couldn’t be sent for two years, and then he slowly forgot about the whole thing.

In this way, was it also his fault?

Nie Yao disagreed.

“Then why did you pretend not to know me yesterday?” Du Sui Lan asked, feeling wronged. “Were you worried I would seize your military power? You don’t trust me at all, do you?”

“Yes.”

Nie Yao readily admitted.

He had a well-reasoned argument, “You know how many tricks you have up your sleeve. If the sons of the old toad were to take the throne, two parts of caution would be enough; for you, ten parts.”

“Oh.”

Du Sui Lan’s face instantly turned cold.

In the end, this person only liked naive, kind, and delicate young men. And he even claimed to like the young man he had raised, calling himself a pervert.

Furthermore, eighteen was the legal minimum age.

Anyone who crossed that line was inhuman.

If it weren’t for his nonsense, why would he have endured for twelve years without looking for him!

He was clearly only five years younger than Nie Yao, only five years! Yet, Nie Yao treated him like a child, truly believing himself to be the mature adult?

Who was the one moping around all day missing his brother?

He had prepared for so long, yet Nie Yao didn’t like any of it.

What was even more infuriating was that Nie Yao saw he was rich and cheekily said he would be his younger brother!

That shameless old man! Who wanted a younger brother this big!

Why didn’t he go… go… why didn’t he go be a bug!

The little flower bud, who had been admired for many years, not only failed to blossom but was also viciously pinched by the person he liked.

Du Sui Lan was truly and sincerely upset.

He turned around with a cold face. “I’m tired, I need to rest.”

Nie Yao knew he couldn’t maintain his pitiful act for two minutes.

He picked up the doll that the young man had dropped on the floor and examined it closely: Hmm, the eyes were made to look fierce, and upon closer inspection, there was a strong, cold sense of oppression within.

Not bad, very expressive.

It was just that too much cotton was stuffed inside, making the body plump.

Fierce and cute, could the little brat have made it to resemble himself? Did he really want to be his older brother?

Nie Yao looked strange.

He set the doll down carefully. Nie Yao didn’t look for any other spot and went straight to the bed.

A luxurious brocade quilt was bundled up into a soft, sticky mass.

The young man was indeed here.

His eyes were red, and upon realizing Nie Yao’s presence, he turned his back to him.

“Du Sui Lan? Sui Lan? Little Sui? Little Lan Lan?” Nie Yao knelt on the bed with his right knee, leaning close to the young man. “I was wrong, won’t you stop being mad? The doll is very well made. It looks exactly like my brother. With him, I definitely won’t be lonely anymore.”

“I didn’t expect Little Lan Lan’s needlework to be so good. The brother doll is so lifelike.”

“Here, a quick interview, Mr. Du, how did you become so excellent at this? Did you secretly learn sewing behind my back…”

He made a fist with his right hand as a microphone and interviewed the young man with an exaggerated tone.

The soft brocade bundle shifted.

Nie Yao pressed on, shaking the young man gently, “You said I pretended not to know you, but you didn’t recognize me either, did you? Calling me ‘Minister Nie,’ I thought Little Lan Lan became successful as the Emperor and didn’t want to acknowledge me, your wild brother, anymore.”

“That’s not true!”

Du Sui Lan quickly sat up. “I’ve always missed you, especially missed you! Earning a lot of money was for you, and becoming Emperor was also for you! I’ve been working hard for you all along!”

“A-Yao, I’ve never forgotten you!”

Nie Yao was taken aback.

He had actually been puzzled before. Given the young man’s personality, to take revenge on the old toad, he would most likely tear the entire world apart, leaving everyone in despair and pain.

But he didn’t do that.

Du Sui Lan said, “You said you wanted to live in a world of peace and tranquility, and you didn’t want so many people to suffer. I remember everything!”

If it weren’t for the person he loved, he would have gone mad and killed all the bad guys who hurt his A-die long ago.

He didn’t care what happened to the world, nor did he care if others lived or died.

But Nie Yao cared.

So he was willing to endure, not tearing things apart but slowly stitching them back together.

“But you suspect I want to take your power!” Du Sui Lan felt extremely wronged.

Big tears kept falling “pat pat pat.”

Nie Yao gently coaxed him, “I’m sorry, it was my fault. Your Majesty, please be magnanimous and don’t hold a grudge against a small person like me, okay?”

“Waaah… You’re a bad guy, woo woo woo… a very bad guy!”

“Yes, I’m a bad guy, I was wrong, I’m sorry.”

“You don’t believe me at all! You must have forgotten me ages ago, right! Even if I said I wouldn’t take your military power, you definitely wouldn’t believe me, woo woo woo… You big bad guy!”

Nie Yao couldn’t respond to that.

Because he had forgotten for a period of time… ahem… and he really didn’t quite believe him.

He believed the part where the obsessive and slightly crazy young man said he became Emperor for his sake. But whether the purpose was to take revenge on him or something else, he wasn’t sure.

He could only continue to be cautious.

“I… hiccup… I knew it… you… super… super utterly bad guy!” Du Sui Lan wasn’t a crybaby. He quickly calmed down after cursing.

He let out two dainty little hiccups.

Sniffling, “I can be magnanimous and not blame you, but you have to compensate me!”

What kind of compensation?

Lend him troops?

Nie Yao looked slightly suspicious, and then the young man pinched him hard.

Nie Yao looked at him, and he still didn’t let go.

Lifting his chin, he said haughtily, “Minister Nie, go! Review the memorials for me.”

Reviewing memorials was the most mentally draining task, and Nie Yao absolutely didn’t want to do it.

He got up to leave.

“I’m tricking you, I’m tricking you!” Du Sui Lan quickly clung to him, muttering, “Brother Nie Yao, carry me over to review the memorials.”

That was more like it.

Nie Yao carried him to the desk, originally intending to put him in the chair. However, the young man held onto his clothes and wouldn’t let go, saying he was afraid of the cold and wanted Nie Yao to hold him while he worked.

What a demanding figure!

Nie Yao couldn’t do anything about him. He had no choice but to sit in the chair himself and hold the person in his arms as requested.

“So warm.” Du Sui Lan clung tightly to Nie Yao. “Thank you, Brother Nie Yao. I definitely won’t be cold tonight.”

He deliberately made the words “Brother Nie Yao” sound extra sweet.

However, Nie Yao was not susceptible to that kind of charm.

He pushed the person slightly to make him move a little away.

Du Sui Lan: Uttering a stream of curses.

“One thousand pieces of gold,” Du Sui Lan said emotionlessly. “I’ll give you one thousand pieces of gold. Don’t push me.”

“Okay, Your Majesty.”

Nie Yao genuinely stopped pushing.

This left Du Sui Lan feeling both smug and aggrieved.

“Your Majesty, if you don’t work soon, it will be dark,” Nie Yao reminded him.

“So what if it gets dark! I have plenty of money to buy lamp oil!”

Du Sui Lan angrily picked up the brush, pulled over a memorial, and started reviewing it, saying the opposite of what he meant.

He read very quickly.

On average, he could finish one in four or five minutes, and then spend one or two minutes writing scathing remarks on it.

“A bunch of useless people!”

Du Sui Lan spent another thousand pieces of gold enjoying Nie Yao’s massage service. He squinted comfortably but didn’t forget to scold the ministers who submitted the memorials.
