Instead of rudely stopping her, he reasoned with her, “You’ve never run away before. Su Qingyue, as a woman, once you leave the Xiao family, the world is vast, and there are many villains outside. How will you survive?
“I have the ability to survive.”
“You don’t.”
“I do.”
Looking at her calm face, he suddenly felt that she might be able to survive independently, “Alright, let’s say you do.”
“Don’t worry…”
He suddenly hugged her tightly, “Qingyue, don’t go, okay? If you leave, I will miss you. Second brother and fourth brother won’t be able to bear parting with you either. Actually… I… I like you. Although you are not pretty, I’ve never really disliked you deep down. I always get angry with you because you’re so calm, too calm, and indifferent. All I wanted was to see varied emotions on your little face, I like your vivacity.”
Pausing for a moment, he continued, “I don’t know why I thought about selling you in the past. Since you came back from the town and woke up, I inexplicably felt differently about you, always wanting to see you. I intended to notify Old Lady Liu not to sell you, but she came first. I don’t know what’s wrong with Li Gui’s brain to even consider buying you. Not to mention fifty taels, even if it were five hundred taels or five thousand taels, no matter how much money, I wouldn’t sell!”
Being confessed to so deeply by a petty cat who also repeatedly stated that no matter how expensive the price, she wouldn’t be sold; she didn’t know whether to be touched or laugh-cry. She also understood that the person he wanted to sell was the original owner of the body, not her after the time-travel.
“Qingyue, forgive me,” his voice was filled with sorrow, “I’ve heard scholars say that ‘even sages can make mistakes’, let alone someone like me who is illiterate and knows nothing. Wife, if you can’t accept me temporarily, I won’t touch you. We can cultivate our relationship and perhaps one day you will like me. Wife, Qingyue, would you give me a chance?”
She looked up at his handsome face, his expression so sincere. Recalling the past days, though he was petty, he was generous towards her and treated her well…
As if he thought of something, he solemnly said, “Wife, rest assured, if you really can’t bear children in the future, I will never despise you.” If second brother and fourth brother had objections, they could marry someone else. No matter how difficult the family was, as long as they worked hard, there would be hope.
She nodded.
His heart was overjoyed, “Wife, did you agree?”
“Yes.” She wouldn’t leave then. She rarely trusted people easily, but as she was now, with nothing to covet, there would be no one better than the Xiao family brothers in the world.
“No more secretly running away?”
“When did I ever run away…” but then she thought of the original owner of the body who had run away, she kept quiet.
“I believe you.” He suddenly picked her up by the waist and carried her towards the master bedroom, “Great! Time to consummate our marriage with my wife!”
She frowned and glared at him, “Xiao Yuchuan, what are you talking about? Did you forget what you just promised me?”
“Can’t I even say it?” He said grievously, “I didn’t do anything to you.” She covered his mouth, “Don’t babble, be careful that Qinghe hears.”
“Fourth brother’s ears are very sharp; he must have heard it long ago.”
When they went to bed that night, their positions were still the same as before, with more than a meter between each of them. Xiao Yishan went out for a short while, and after hunting and selling the game in town, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed..
