She lied with a straight face, âThatâs because that noble person left. And that highly skilled doctor made me study medicine wholeheartedly, not even giving me food. I was so hungry that I stole steamed buns. If I hadnât been beaten half to death, how would I have changed so much with my previous weak character? I realized that if I continued to be weak, I would be useless for the rest of my life. You, third brother and fourth brother, all like the change in me, donât you? My courage has also grown, and Iâm not afraid to apply what Iâve learned from medical books in real life. My acupuncture skills have become more precise as well.â
The explanation seemed reasonable. Xiao Yishan couldnât refute it, and a cold look flashed in his eyes, âSo, now that you have prospects, you look down on me, your husband?â
Her eyes turned cold as well, âIf second brother wants to think like that, then go ahead.â
With that, she walked out of the kitchen.
Upon exiting, she saw Xiao Qinghe sitting in a wheelchair on the left side of the doorway, with Xiao Yuchuan standing on the right.
Apparently, they had both heard her conversation with Xiao Yishan just now.
Actually, her lengthy explanation just now was also meant for the two men outside.
Xiao Yuchuanâs eyes showed a complex mix of emotions, but also a trace of relief.
Su Qingyue could tell that third brother was afraid she would truly accept second brother. When she refused to accept second brother, he was relieved.
As for fourth brother, his expression was almost the same as third brotherâs.
It turned out that third brother and fourth brother did not want to share a wife.
It was normal. True love could not tolerate even a grain of sand. If a man could watch his wife in the arms of another man without any feelings, then their feelings must not be deep, even if there was some love.
At least, she could not bear to see her man embrace another woman.
Similarly, from a manâs standpoint, itâs impossible to share a woman he truly loves with someone else, even if itâs his own blood brother.
âIâm going for a walk.â She walked out of the courtyard door, with the little bastard quietly following at her feet.
The night wind blew gently.
Su Qingyue walked along the river in the south of the village, her feet on the hard mud road mixed with weeds. On one side of the road was farmland, and on the other side was a clear and quiet river. Under the moonlight, the river at night appeared dark blue.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Not far away, the dense trees on Dashan rustled and swayed in the night wind, sending the calls of insects and birds from the mountain from time to time.
The night breeze carried a slight warmth, and Su Qingyueâs mood relaxed as she strolled along.
Footsteps sounded behind her, steady but with a hint of unsteadiness. Su Qingyue didnât have to look back to know who it was.
Who else could it be other than her third brother, who was still recovering from poisoning?
Xiao Yuchuan hugged her from behind, his warm breath spraying against her neck, âWifeâ¦â
Her back stiffened, but she didnât speak.
âWife, hearing that you wonât be with second brother, as his younger brother, I feel sad for himâ¦â His voice contained the hoarseness of male sensuality, âBut from my own perspective, I find that Iâm very happy. Itâs only now that I realize, I actually donât want to share you with anyone else.â
Listening to his sincere voice, she felt a bit heavy-hearted, âThird brother, from now on⦠donât call me wife, alright?â
his body tensed, and disbelief flashed in his dark eyes as bright as stars, âWife, what did you just say?â
She turned to face him, looking at him seriously, âI said, donât call me wife anymore.â
âYou donât want second brother, and now you donât want me either?â His voice was slightly hoarse, âI wonât allow it. I absolutely wonât allow you not to want me!â He suddenly hugged her tight, âWife, when I think I might lose you, it hurts so much. Wife, please donât leave me!â
