The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 781: 781 Qingyue’s Situation 2

He stared at her intently, “Wife, although I didn’t hear what Cuihua said to you, I can imagine what she might have said. She must think that now that the Xiao family has money, I, the second brother, and fourth brother might change our hearts. I won’t comment on the second and fourth brothers, but I will never change my heart towards you. You also know the situation with Liu Xianglian, I don’t like her at all. She might have a bit of feelings for me, but she’s definitely after the Xiao family’s money. I am very clear about her intentions. You have to believe that I have no second thoughts about you.”

She let out a faint sigh, “Third brother… Liu Xianglian is not a good woman, but there are many good women in this world. Maybe you should find another one.”

A pained expression filled his eyes, “Wife, ask yourself, do you really hope that I marry another woman?”

Looking at the deep pain in his black pupils, her heart became heavy and she reluctantly nodded her head.

He held her arms firmly with both hands, “Wife, look at me! I can tell that you like me!”

She said coldly, “I like fourth brother.”

“You’re lying!” Xiao Yuchuan roared, “You obviously like me!”

“The man I chose is fourth brother.” Her voice was not light nor heavy, and her intonation was so flat that there was no fluctuation in it at all.

He looked at her calm little face, “I know why you chose fourth brother. It’s because you want to take care of him on behalf of me and second brother, and you want me and second brother to marry someone else without any burden. Do you think that’s good for me!”

“Isn’t that the best?” She asked in return.

“Of course not!” He said, “Second brother and I are not afraid of being burdened by fourth brother, even if second brother marries someone else. If you’re with me, we can still take care of fourth brother.”

“Don’t say it, it’s impossible.”

“Why is it impossible!”

The place where the two were standing was the backyard. Su Qingyue’s gaze looked over at the corner of the house. Although she couldn’t see the person behind the corner, she knew that Xiao Qinghe’s wheelchair was parked there.

She said indifferently, “Because… I like fourth brother.”

Xiao Qinghe, at the corner of the house, had a very serious expression.

He knew…

He had always suspected that the reason his wife chose him was not to burden his second and third brothers.

It turned out that third brother also thought so, but his wife… didn’t admit it.

His wife actually said that she liked him!

He felt joy in his heart, as well as a mix of emotions.

He couldn’t help but peek out, and just happened to see Su Qingyue’s gaze looking over.

He suddenly understood that his wife was comforting him, saying that she liked him because she knew he was hiding here and deliberately said it for him to hear!

Xiao Qinghe’s heart fell to the bottom of the valley in an instant.

A huge wave of loss and pain filled his entire chest.

He didn’t want his wife’s sympathy!

He didn’t want her to choose him because she had to accept him as a burden! @@novelbin@@

With both hands firmly gripping the wheelchair, he turned the chair wheels and moved horizontally. He pushed the wheelchair and went in a daze towards the front yard.

Su Qingyue watched the lonely back on the wheelchair, her eyes sharply swept over Xiao Yuchuan, “Fourth brother heard everything, are you happy now?”

Xiao Yuchuan’s face was heavy, “Who said I was happy?”

He strode forward to the front yard.

He quickly caught up with Xiao Qinghe, “Fourth brother!”

Xiao Qinghe stopped the wheelchair, restrained his expression, then looked up and showed a faint smile, “Third brother…”

“Fourth brother, no matter it’s me or my wife, we care about you very much. Don’t take it to heart.” He didn’t really know what to say to the fourth brother, but he just didn’t want him to be sad. Heaven knows how difficult these past few months have been for him.
