Chapter 788: 788 Fourth Brother’s Fulfillment 6
Her heart ached, but she pretended not to understand and said, “I don’t get it…”
“Let’s not be husband and wife anymore.” He controlled the severe pain in his heart, maintaining a calm tone, “You should be with third brother.”
She suddenly laughed, her smile bitter and unbearable, “Xiao Qinghe, do you know what you’re saying?”
He nodded with difficulty.
Looking at the pain he was forcibly suppressing in his eyes, her heart felt like being stabbed, “You know I chose you, and yet, you are handing me over to your third brother.”
“I…” Because he knew that the person she liked was third brother.
Su Qingyue knew what he was thinking all too well.
She knew he felt inferior, not worthy of her, and that he thought being with Xiao Yuchuan would be better for her.
He was doing this all for her sake.
Yet, she couldn’t feel happy at all; instead, her heart ached as if it had been smashed by a hammer.
No matter what reasons he had, it didn’t change one thing…
Throughout these several months, she had hinted and openly stated that she had chosen him. Yet, he still gave up on her!
She didn’t know whether it was because she was not important enough in his heart or…
In his heart, she was just so easily disposable.
She knew that during this time, he had been weighing this issue. She had never rushed him and was waiting for his answer. Even this afternoon, when Wang Cuihua came over and knew that fourth brother was eavesdropping, she deliberately let fourth brother hear that she wanted him, Xiao Qinghe.
He still gave up on her.
It could only be said that fourth brother was too great.
Sometimes, love needs to be selfish.
Su Qingyue’s heart was filled with pain and loss. She turned away, silently staring at the bright moon in the night sky.
Xiao Qinghe looked at her lonely, slender figure, and his heart ached dully, “Wife…”
“Since fourth brother has made up his mind, you should call me Qingyue instead.” She walked around him and headed towards her room.
She knew he had no choice.
But she had been building his confidence again and again. She taught him handwriting and medical skills so that he could rely on his own abilities in the future, so that he wouldn’t feel inferior and overthink things.
She, Su Qingyue, was no saint. If she planned on having second and third brothers marry other people, they would eventually divide the family. When it came to dividing the family, why should she give them so much land and money? Was her money picked up off the ground?
Second and third brothers’ kindness was not enough for her to give them so much money.
She was doing it all for him, mainly because she wanted to spend a lifetime with him and repay the many years of second and third brothers’ unwavering support for him.
Feeling inferior and supposedly doing what’s best for her, he gave up on her.
Even Su Qingyue would get tired.
Xiao Yuchuan’s room window was open. Perhaps because of his heavy heart, he fell asleep but woke up immediately.
He’d just thought of getting up for a walk when he saw fourth brother alone in the yard, watching how their wife cared for the fourth brother.
His heart was heavy and filled with pain. He leaned against the wall by the window, listening to their conversation, never expecting that fourth brother would willingly give up his wife!
His heart was surrounded by joy, grateful for fourth brother’s sacrifice, yet he felt the weight of a huge stone on his chest.
He owed fourth brother even more now.
Xiao Qinghe moved his wheelchair, watching his wife’s desolate figure looking as if she had been abandoned. Her steps seemed heavy as if weighed down by lead.
At this moment, he deeply felt his wife’s pain.
Suddenly, he felt a brief moment of regret, wishing he hadn’t given up on her.
