Seeing that her cheap husband did not respond, she felt disappointed. Wasn’t she good enough for him to fall for her?
Her ideal of love was that of two people in mutual affection, sharing their thoughts and feelings.
She knew Yang Ming had decided to live his life with her, but that was not love.
And she had only been moved by her feelings, which was probably still too far away from love.
She might have been a bit impulsive just now, she decided to confirm her own feelings before making a move. It wouldn’t be too late to start her offensive after she was certain.
So, she changed her tune and said, "Hehe, I was just joking, you got fooled by me, didn’t you? That’s what you get for standing me up! Just a little punishment."
Xiaoxiao laughed "hehe", but her eyes betrayed her disappointment.
Yang Ming was still caught up in the joy of the moment and hadn’t come back to his senses when he heard his wife say such things.
His face darkened, feeling thoroughly played. She always spoke without thinking, and he had really believed her just now, so much so that he had been too excited to reply.
His expression turned solemn, tinged with anger, as he asked the question he had been unable to ask before, "Tell me, what’s this about not consummating the marriage?"
"..." What consummation? Had the news that broke last night already reached Yang Ming’s ears so quickly? Who on earth spread it?
"How did you know about it?"
"Never mind how I found out, why did you say that?"
He really wanted to hear her explanation. For such a sensitive issue to be spoken by her, and besides, it wasn’t him who didn’t want to consummate the marriage; it was her refusal.
"My sister-in-law was saying I was pregnant again, and I said I wasn’t, but she didn’t believe me and insisted on calling a doctor. I couldn’t persuade her otherwise, and in my anxiety, I blurted out that there had been no consummation, so how could there be a pregnancy."
Xiaoxiao spoke quickly, but Yang Ming heard her loud and clear, "Why did they say you were pregnant again?"
"Because I haven’t had an appetite these past few days and haven’t eaten much."
"..." She hadn’t eaten much these past few days? Big Brother had said she was angry and hadn’t eaten much. Could it still be because of that previous incident?
"Then why did you have to say I was impotent?" He really found this question hard to ask. Not consummating the marriage was one thing, but to say he was impotent!
"What do you mean you’re impotent?" Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. What was this cheap husband talking about?
Yang Ming grimly recounted the morning’s events, "Because you said we didn’t consummate our marriage due to my impotence, this morning the second brother came to question me whether it was true or not, and big brother directly brought me the medicine for curing impotence!"
"Hahaha!" Xiaoxiao couldn’t help bursting out laughing on the spot, "Sorry, sorry."
"Finished laughing? Isn’t all this your doing?" Yang Ming said sternly.
"..." What was all this about? She had only mentioned the lack of consummation and said nothing about his impotence. The imagination of her sisters-in-law was too rich, and even her brothers-in-law were involved, showing how much importance they attached to the issue.
"That was not what I said. I only mentioned that there was no consummation, everything else was their own conjecture. You can’t blame me for this."
Still, she could imagine how furious he must have been at the time. Nothing was more taboo for a man than being said to be impotent. Impotent or not, he had to prove himself.
Not only had he been called impotent, but he had also been given medicine for it.
"..." So she was still making excuses after letting this situation go public? Her mere pulse check had stirred up such a fuss!
"Tonight, I’ll let you know whether I am really impotent or not."
"..." Xiaoxiao shuddered, feeling that her cheap husband was very dangerous at the moment. Had she dug her own grave?
