Chapter 683: 683 Had a falling out with second brother
Su Qingyue almost broke out in a sweat, but thankfully, she didn’t want to register a match with second brother anyway.
Xiao Yishan seemed to see through her thoughts and his cold gaze deepened, “Registering for a household marriage is just a matter of time; otherwise, it wouldn’t be proper.”
“It doesn’t matter.” She liked it this way.
“But if you don’t go to the Official Residence to register…” Xiao Yishan’s expression became a bit serious, “Your identity will always be that of a purchased slave. Slaves cannot buy property, fields, or any assets they possess; they all belong to their owner.”
Su Qingyue smiled indifferently. How could she not know this? “Actually, as long as Second Brother returns the deed of sale to me, I’d be a free person and no longer a slave.”
Currently, her position in the Xiao Family gave them the right to resell her.
That was why Xiao Ailiu kept trying to sell her off.
A touch of pain flashed across Xiao Yishan’s cold face, “Yue’er, I really want to return your deed of sale, but tell me, once I give it back to you, will you still want to be my wife?”
She fell silent for a moment and shook her head.
His eyes were filled with pain, “My life was saved by you, and everyone knows how much you’ve contributed to the Xiao Family. I don’t want the money you earn; I only want you to be my wife. Please forgive Second Brother’s selfishness, but I cannot return the deed of sale to you.”
Su Qingyue understood, “Second Brother means to bind me with a paper contract?”
“I…” The pain buried deep in his eyes, “Yue’er, please forgive me. Once you and I share a husband and wife bond, I’ll destroy the deed of sale immediately.”
Su Qingyue’s lips curved slightly, as a paper contract couldn’t hold her back.
Her clear, water-like gaze fell on Xiao Qinghe, and what worried her was Fourth Brother.
Pain flickered also in Xiao Qinghe’s eyes.
He had discussed with Second Brother and Third Brother in secret, and all three wanted the other two to give up their wife – but none of them were willing.
So the situation came to a stalemate.
Nobody noticed the guilt flashing in Xiao Yuchuan’s eyes as he glanced over Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Yishan.
He had never harbored any divided loyalties in this family.
There’s only one wife, and he could never let her go; all he could do was apologize to Second Brother and Fourth Brother.
Su Qingyue looked at Xiao Yishan’s gaze filled with disappointment, “I didn’t expect Second Brother to threaten me with a deed of sale.”
“Yue’er, I’m sorry…” He felt as if his heart was being torn, but he was helpless.
Her voice turned cold, “Second Brother, what must I do for you to return the deed of sale to me?”
“Become my woman.” Despite the guilt on his face, his tone was unyielding.
She raised an eyebrow, “And if I don’t?”
His voice was heavy, “I’ll wait for you. I’ll give you time.”
In other words, he would eventually force her. She smiled faintly, “Xiao Yishan, I never realized what kind of person you are. Selfish, self-serving, weak, incompetent, and without a brain!”
His face stiffened, and his cold demeanor turned an ashen color. He clenched his fists tightly, his veins bulging on the back of his hand, teeth gritted, and his furious eyes seemed ferocious, like a killer.
Su Qingyue wasn’t afraid of him at all, “I used to respect you because you were good to me and because you’re Qinghe’s Second Brother. You don’t deserve it.”
Xiao Yishan’s face turned black with rage, “Su Qingyue, my patience has its limits!”
