Translator: 549690339

She didn’t know whether he was really thirsty or just being polite, but he drank the entire glass of water. She noticed that his drinking action was somewhat slow, but very elegant.

Xiao Yuchuan said that Xiao Qinghe was illiterate. It was rare that an illiterate person could be so refined and elegant.

Xiao Qinghe intentionally slowed down his drinking speed. He was reluctant to drink the water his wife had poured for him. But since she was watching, he felt too embarrassed not to drink it.

After putting the cup back on the table, he saw her turn to leave and reached out to hold her hand.

She was taken aback. His hand was not as thick and warm as his second brother’s, but rather cool and slightly thin.

Xiao Qinghe’s movement stiffened for a moment. His wife’s hand felt so small and warm. He wanted to keep holding it like that, fearing it might be the last time they’d touch. He deeply etched the sensation of holding her hand into his heart, and when she looked at him, he forced himself to let go, “I… have something to give you.”

He reached for an old cloth bag hidden beneath the padding and handed it to her.

She weighed it in her hand. It was heavy, filled with money.

“Not much,” he said with a calm expression, “Later… take good care of yourself.”

A sour feeling rose in her heart, “You knew I was leaving?

He nodded slightly. Although they had not had much contact, his gaze had always followed her closely.

Surprise flashed in her eyes, “I was bought here, and now I’m trying to escape. Not only do you not stop me, but you secretly give me money?”

His gaze was warm and gentle with a tinge of bitterness, “You’ll have a better life away from this family.”

She fell silent, gazing at his handsome face as if looking at a close friend. After a long while, she spoke softly, “Actually, in this vast world, I, Su Qingyue, am all alone. Although I have the ability to survive, I have nowhere to go. I’m confident that I can find a place to settle down, slowly making a living and spending my days in ease but solitude.”

Despite not believing that a weak girl like her could survive on her own, he inexplicably believed her words, “The Xiao Family will always be your home.” He wanted to say that he would always be her husband. But as even he considered himself a burden, how could he have such qualifications?

She looked at his lips shape, unable to hear his voice but feeling that it must be very pleasant.

He said that this place would always be her home.

She knew what he meant – that if she could not survive outside, she could always return.

She felt fortunate to have been bought by the Xiao Family’s brothers, such good people.

Looking at Xiao Qinghe, she didn’t even want to leave anymore.

His leg was disabled and needed someone to take care of him.

Why was she the wife of the third brother? It would have been better if she was Xiao Qinghe’s wife. Maybe it was because the family feared she wouldn’t stay that they had married her to the most handsome third brother.

“I can’t take your money,” she handed the moneybag back to him, “Tomorrow, I’ll talk to Xiao Yuchuan. If I leave, I’ll say goodbye. If I stay, there’s no need for further words. ”

If she stayed in this family, she would be Xiao Yuchuan’s wife. A wife… is supposed to sleep together with her husband! In her previous life, she had been in a relationship with her fiancé for two years, but they never had any intimate relations before her death. The body she inhabited in this life was still innocent.

She had just experienced a heart-wrenching betrayal that cost her her life. Branded as hypocritical, she didn’t want to make love with a man she had no emotional foundation with.

Xiao Yuchuan always said he wouldn’t touch her, but he would often take the opportunity to take advantage of her. From the way he looked at her, she knew that he couldn’t wait to eat her up.

As long as Xiao Yuchuan agreed not to touch her, she would stay in this family..
