The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 847: 847

She thought that leaving the Xiao Family, maybe time would fade everything.

Unexpectedly, just when he was supposed to wake up in the evening, he woke up early, desperately trying to keep her.

Perhaps, her bond with third brother was too deep, even Heaven couldn’t bear to tear them apart.

She liked him, too, so she no longer wanted to go against her own feelings and wished to live a good life with him.

“Wife…” he gazed steadily at her expression, “what are you thinking about?”

“Whatever you want to do, let’s do it your way,” she sighed softly.

...

Upon hearing her words, he was so happy he almost jumped for joy, “Wife, have you really accepted me from the bottom of your heart?”

She nodded. Since fourth brother had given up, it was all in the past.

He held her so tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his marrow, “Wife, I, Xiao Yuchuan, promise not to let you down in this life!”

A smile played upon her lips; she didn’t want to make any promises to him. To her, accepting him and acknowledging him meant that she would not wrong him.

He stared at her still worried brows, “What’s wrong? Are you troubled by something?”

She shook her head, “No. Just feeling a bit sentimental. I thought I’d never talk about love in this lifetime.”

His ink-dark brows furrowed slightly, “You speak as if you’ve been in love before.”

She indeed had a love affair that lasted two or three years last life, just without any physical involvement, “Let’s not dwell on the past.” This was a new life, after all.

Xiao Yuchuan thought she was referring to her time with the Zhu Family, “Wife, later I will protect you and not hurt your feelings.”

She thought of his numerous romantic entanglements and laughed, “It would be good if you didn’t hurt my feelings to begin with.”

He knew she referred to those shameless women who threw themselves at him, “Rest assured, wife, even if I have to chop my heart into pieces, I will never hurt you.”

“You said it yourself,” she snorted coldly, “the day you do something that hurts me, go ahead and carve out your heart.”

“Deal,” he agreed decisively.

He flipped over to press atop her soft, delicate body, about to kiss her tender, small mouth, when he heard the voice of Li Gui and Li Rong’er outside in the yard.

He frowned, grumbling, “Wife, your admirers have arrived…”

She rolled her eyes, “Li Gui and I really don’t have anything going on, okay?”

The voices of Xiao Yishan and Li Gui came from outside, with Li Gui shamelessly calling out ‘Su Qingyue’s’ name.

Xiao Yuchuan hopped off the bed, enraged, “I’m going to get rid of that bastard Li Gui for setting his sights on my wife!”

Su Qingyue looked at him, full of vigor; he didn’t look like someone who had been poisoned.

The poison she had previously given him, although she told him there was no antidote, she had formulated a kind of detoxifying pill that could counteract all poisons; she had already fed him the detoxification pill when he drank his self-made poison.

As for the self-made poison he ate in the yard…

She hadn’t had the chance to study its composition yet; she had only collected the poisoned vomit he expelled.

“Hey, wait!” Su Qingyue called out to him.

He asked irritably, “Wife, don’t you want me to beat up Li Gui?”

“No.” She pointed at his bare upper body, “Put on your clothes first.”

“Eh?” He only then realized he was undressed, “When did I take off my clothes?”

“Aren’t you supposed to be clever?” She rolled her eyes, “It turns out you don’t even know you’re not wearing clothes?”

He chuckled, “My attention was all on you, my eyes never left you, so I really didn’t notice. Wife, you want to sleep with me, so you took off my clothes, right?”
