I insist

Chapter 525: Longing

Duan Jiayan stood up, bowed slightly, and said softly, "It's like this, because of what happened to me, my brother-in-law is angry with my sister, and neither of them is speaking to each other."

Because of these two, a maid in the manor had ulterior motives and almost succeeded in sleeping with him.

Song Miqiu turned and went into the restaurant, and Duan Jiayan followed him in, talking non-stop.

"So you didn't succeed in climbing into bed, right?" Song Miqiu said casually.

Duan Jiayan nodded repeatedly: "Of course, I quickly tidied up the maid, but I didn't expect to be scolded by the city lord."

They say I'm immature and idle all day, but that's my problem, it has nothing to do with my sister.

"What you did may indeed have nothing to do with you, but don't forget, when you were doing these things in the city, did you really not use your sister's identity?"

"They'd probably say that, 'My sister is the city lord's wife, how dare you offend me?'" They said they hadn't, and besides, they didn't think the city lord was wrong.

Song Miqiu sat on a chair to the side and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Duan Jiayan's expression immediately darkened, because he had indeed done so before, and his sister had helped him resolve many issues.

Including this incident, if he hadn't offended Song Miqiu, the city lord's wife wouldn't have bothered her because of his arm.

Seeing that Duan Jiayan was still standing in the same spot, Song Miqiu frowned slightly: "So, what brings you here?"

“I already know I was wrong, so I came to you in order to get my sister and brother back together and let them see my change.”

Upon hearing Song Miqiu's question, Duan Jiayan quickly spoke up.

Song Miqiu was a little confused by his thought process. She frowned and said, "Are you overthinking this? Do you think they can make up just by coming here?"

Duan Jiayan nodded repeatedly: "That's right, the reason they're having a cold war is because I offended you. I'm here to atone for my sins, and they'll see the change in me."

They shouldn't be angry anymore; they'll make up soon.

"I think you're overthinking it. Even if you work here your whole life, they might not be able to reconcile. Besides, it's a matter between the two of them."

"You shouldn't get involved too much, okay?" Song Miqiu said with a smile.

Duan Jiayan looked at Song Miqiu and said very seriously, "No matter what, I will stay here with you. You must accept me."

Seeing his persistence, Song Miqiu could only nod and say, "Alright, I can take you on, but there's a probationary period. If you can't do anything well during this time..."

"Then don't blame me for kicking you out. There won't be a second chance."

When Duan Jiayan heard Song Miqiu agree, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do my best. I won't let you kick me out. What should I do next?"

"Starting tomorrow, you'll be working as a waiter," Song Miqiu said calmly.

After a busy day, she went back to her room to rest. A letter arrived from her bodyguard, written by Yu Huailin. She was very excited and quickly opened the letter.

In his letter, Yu Huailin wrote about his recent situation and expressed his longing for her.

Looking at it, Song Miqiu felt a sweet warmth in her heart and said with a smile, "I never expected him to write such tender and affectionate letters. I really underestimated him."

As she spoke, she walked to the desk next to her and began to reply to his letter.

The letter said the restaurant was doing very well and also told him to be careful in everything he did.

After Song Miqiu finished writing, he carefully sealed the letter and handed it to the guard, whispering, "Give this letter to Yu Huailin."

The guard accepted the letter and disappeared from the spot. He had no complaints whatsoever about being Song Miqiu and Yu Huailin's messenger.

After doing all this, Song Miqiu went to the window and looked at the stars in the sky, feeling even more homesick for Huailin.

"I'll wait for you to come back here. You must be careful," Song Miqiu thought to herself.

After receiving Song Miqiu's agreement, Duan Jiayan happily returned to the city lord's mansion and went to the city lord's wife's room.

At this moment, the city lord's wife was sitting in the courtyard, looking serene and peaceful, but her face was expressionless, and even the light in her eyes seemed to have disappeared.

He didn't want to see his sister like this, so he quickly walked up to the city lord's wife and asked, "Why are you still sitting here obediently? Why didn't you go find your brother-in-law?"

The city lord's wife looked up at Duan Jiayan and smiled slightly: "You're back. What did you do today? If you cause trouble again, I won't be able to help you."

"Who asked you to help? Can't you think about yourself? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be having this falling out with your brother-in-law. Sis, I really know I was wrong."

"And I even went to that old lady's shop today; she's agreed to take me in. Now you two should be able to make up, right?"

Duan Jiayan looked at the city lord's wife and asked very seriously.

"You went to the old lady's restaurant? What were you doing there? Don't cause any trouble. That old lady is someone we can't afford to offend," the city lord's wife said with some concern.

Duan Jiayan quickly explained, "I didn't go to cause trouble. I went to find her to be the boss. Sis, I really know I was wrong. Please make up with your husband."

I've already gone to the restaurant to atone for my sins, can't you two just make up?

The city lord's wife was amused by his words: "Who told you that this would make us reconcile?"

"So what are you planning to do? Because of me, you've become like this. I really know I was wrong, sister. If you don't take the initiative to contact your husband..."

He's about to be seduced by someone else. I don't believe you don't know about that little maid. Don't you really want your brother-in-law anymore?

Duan Jiayan excitedly told the city lord's wife that he did not want his sister to be ruined because of his own affairs.

The city lord's wife smiled slightly: "Jiayan, there are some things you don't understand. It's not that I don't want him, but that he doesn't want me anymore, which is why I'm acting this way."

If he's really so easily seduced, then there's nothing I can do, since I was definitely in the wrong this time.

"It was clearly my fault," Duan Jiayan said, head down.

"Indeed, the whole thing started because of you, but I was the one who did the shop incident. I'm the one who put her in a life-threatening situation. Luckily, they were magnanimous and didn't pursue the matter further."

If we investigate further, even the city lord will be implicated, and so will you. Therefore, I naturally have to accept this outcome.

The city lord's wife turned to look at Duan Jiayan and said with a smile, "Since the old lady has already asked you to stay there, you should behave yourself and do your work well."

This is also a way of atoning for you and for me. I want to go too, but the old lady will definitely not agree.

Duan Jiayan wanted to say something, but seeing her like this, he didn't know what to say and felt that the more he said, the sadder she would be.

Finally, he only said, "Sister, don't worry, I'll do my job well."
