The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 809: Waiting All Night 5

He shook his head, “No, you’re injured, and I need to stay here with you. You have two choices: either let me stand by the door and keep you company, or let me into your room.”

Listening to his stubborn words and seeing the deep concern in his dark eyes, she stopped being obstinate, “I’m not hurt. I really don’t mind that second brother brought a woman home.”

“I don’t believe you.”

She frowned, “I’ve said there’s nothing wrong!”

He grinned, “Alright, then it’s settled that I’m the one who’s hurt.”

Speechless, she said, “If you want to stand, then just stand by the door.”

With that, she slammed the door shut and truly lay down on the bed to sleep.

Truthfully, although she was annoyed on the surface by third brother being such a nuisance, glancing at the closed door and thinking of third brother standing guard outside, she couldn’t deny she was moved at heart.

In another room, Li Rong’er lay in the new bedding, smelling the fresh scent of cotton, and felt that this sleeping bed was far more comfortable than the servant’s room in the Fang Mansion.

The brand-new large wardrobe, bed, tables and chairs, lamp…

Everything in this house was new, and it was wonderful to live here.

She swore even more in her heart to become the mistress of this house.

The next day, as soon as it was light, Li Rong’er got up.

As she passed by Su Qingyue’s door, she saw a dark figure, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Xiao Yuchuan, looking weary, obviously having stood guard at the door all night.

She suddenly felt that Su Qingyue was so fortunate.

Xiao Yishan had rejected her for Su Qingyue.

Yet, Xiao Yuchuan was willing to stand watch so patiently outside her door.

Just an ordinary-looking woman, yet she received such treatment from her husband.

No, that’s not right; Su Qingyue wasn’t the mistress of the house, she had lost her deed of sale, and at most, she was just a guest of the Xiao Family. She, Li Rong’er, would be the true mistress of the Xiao Family!

Xiao Yuchuan was handsome with sparkling eyes and a tall figure, emanating an air of elegance throughout his being.

If she hadn’t been told, Li Rong’er might have mistaken him for a young master from a wealthy family.

Speaking of which, the Xiao Family’s current wealth was also extremely substantial.

Li Rong’er looked at his handsome face, and in truth, her heart preferred Xiao Yuchuan. But since her body was already… she could only be matched with someone like Xiao Yi, a man whose face was ruined.

Thinking about Xiao Yuchuan’s poor treatment of her, she decided against seducing Xiao Yuchuan, lest she also lose Xiao Yi and everything fell apart.

“Third young master, why are you standing outside the door?” Li Rong’er deliberately put on a concerned face.

“Stay away from me,” he replied irritably.

Li Rong’er felt a bit annoyed but was smart enough not to show it on her face, “Third young master, this servant is going to make breakfast.”

This time, he didn’t say anything.@@novelbin@@

Xiao Qinghe came out of his room in a wheelchair and saw Xiao Yuchuan standing at his wife’s door, knowing he had stood guard all night. The depth of the third brother’s feelings for his wife reflected in his clear eyes, causing a fleeting sadness to pass through them.

He felt even more that he should support the third brother…

Without a word, Xiao Qinghe just gave Xiao Yuchuan a nod as a greeting and then rolled his wheelchair into the yard to gather a pile of firewood.

Xiao Yuchuan frowned at his actions, “Fourth brother, since Li Rong’er is going to be our maid, let her do all these tasks around the house from now on. You don’t need to do them yourself.”

“But…” Xiao Qinghe hesitated, as he could see that second brother had some special feelings for Li Rong’er. If she truly were a maid, that would be fine, but he feared she was the future second sister-in-law, and it seemed improper to let her do all the work.
