"Since that’s the case, it ans you’ve already guessed, right?" Yan Yaohao let out a low laugh.
Yan Sijue pressed his lips together and said nothing.
"When I was young, I was often brought to the study by the Old Man. Back then, I didn’t understand much. The Old Man would discuss matters with his subordinates and let fetch paper and pens for him. I’m more familiar with the arrangent of the study than anyone else." Yan Yaohao lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in reminiscence. "Later, as I grew older and began to understand what they were discussing, the Old Man liked to quiz . If I answered well, he was very pleased. You could say I was brought up by the Old Man himself."
Yan Sijue still didn’t speak, not even moving an eyebrow.
"Yan Yaoting and the others never thought about why the Old Man liked to keep by his side. They thought he simply loved his young grandson. They don’t know that the Old Man had made his decision over twenty years ago. They all fought fiercely, thinking it was ridiculous. You probably don’t find it funny." Yan Yaohao suddenly seed to realize, "Oh, surely not for you. They’ve always seen you as a thorn, not realizing that the Old Man had long since given up on you."
"The Old Man feels quite proud inside. He believes his plan is perfect. You were used as a blade to open up new ventures, while I was his puppet and shadow— he chose not just because I’m smart, but because I’m obedient. He intended to mold into another version of himself, with decisions made entirely according to his vision." Yan Yaohao laughed lightly, "So when he found out I didn’t et his expectations in certain aspects, he was furious."
Yan Sijue slowly put down his chopsticks: "Because of your sexual orientation?"
Yan Yaohao gave a peculiar smile and nodded, "When I was fifteen, the Old Man started sending won to , but I never touched them. At first, he thought I just wasn’t mature enough, so he didn’t take it to heart. When he realized I had no interest in won at all, he understood the seriousness."
Yan Sijue glanced at him.
"The Old Man told that my private interests didn’t matter, but there must be a woman by my side. He would choose a suitable wife for in the future, and I must make her pregnant, but I couldn’t feel anything for won." Yan Yaohao’s gaze fell to a corner of the room, "The Old Man was furious, thinking I was deliberately opposing him. So he used many thods to ’cure’ , like finding more beautiful won to seduce , drugging , even having doctors prescribe dicine... You have no idea how much I suffered during that ti!"
"I even told him then that I couldn’t take on the responsibilities of an heir and asked him to choose my brothers, giving him a heavy slap in the face. How could the Old Man admit his failure and let years of his efforts go to waste? So, he intensified his efforts to ’cure’ ."
"So you hate him too, don’t you?" Yan Sijue asked calmly.
"Yes, I hate him." Yan Yaohao nodded, "Later, when the Old Man saw I hadn’t changed, he gave up, only insisting that in the future, I must have a child with Yan Family blood through any ans necessary. Naturally, I agreed."
Yan Yaohao paused before continuing, "But he doesn’t know that after stopping the dication, my body was ruined."
Yan Sijue’s brow slightly moved.
"That’s right, just as you guessed." Yan Yaohao gave a peculiar smile.
