Chapter 789: 789 Only I cannot lose you
However, he couldn’t bear to be with her just because of sympathy, and he didn’t want to hold back her happiness. He told himself in his heart that this was the best for his wife and Third Brother…he hadn’t done anything wrong.
Su Qingyue was lying on the bed in the room, staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.
Xiao Yuchuan was standing by the wall in his room, his thoughts heavy as well.
Xiao Qinghe sat in his wheelchair in the yard, motionless.
The three people had a sleepless night.
In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight pierced the thin mist, and dewdrops fell from the tree bark branches. The mountain village was enveloped in the morning light, and a new day began. Villagers were in the fields, working hard with their hoes, while others were chopping firewood in the mountain forests or tending to their cattle and sheep…
The mountain village was peaceful and tranquil.
Xiao Qinghe was making breakfast as usual, while Xiao Yuchuan was organizing the goods he planned to sell today.
Su Qingyue came out of the room, and the gazes of the two men fell on her. She greeted them indifferently, as if nothing had happened, saying “good morning” to both of them.
Both Qinghe and Yuchuan were full of worry, knowing that their wife was upset but not showing it on her face.
Su Qingyue walked to the shelves in the courtyard and spread out the herbs she had collected from the mountain yesterday, so they could dry in the sun.
Xiao Yuchuan finished arranging the goods in his carrying pole and walked over to her, his voice full of concern, “Wife…”
She turned around, her expression indifferent, “Third Brother, you didn’t sleep all night and you still plan to go out today?”
Her words made it clear that she knew he had overheard her conversation with Fourth Brother last night. He nodded slightly, “Yes. Do you want me to stay at home to accompany you?”
She shook her head, “I’m fine, you can go.”
He looked at her with deep, loving eyes, “Wife, you have me, and I will never give up on you. Let’s take care of Fourth Brother together. OK?”
Her body stiffened, “I don’t want to talk about this.”
“You promised to give me a chance…”
A bitter smile appeared at the corners of her lips, “It was because I didn’t know Second Brother and Fourth Brother were also my husband at the time. I thought the Xiao Family had decided to buy me just to be your wife.”
Pain flashed in his eyes, “But you promised me, and you can’t go back on your word.”
“I also promised Fourth Brother to be husband and wife with him.” She looked at him indifferently, “Can you accept that I marry both of you?”
“No, I can’t!” His voice was firm, and he suddenly pulled her into his embrace, “I can’t bear the thought of any man touching you, including Second Brother and Fourth Brother. Just thinking about you being with them drives me mad!”
She tried to break free from his stiff embrace, but he held onto her tightly, “Wife, do you know? When Li Gui blatantly tried to buy you, if you had left with him, I really wanted to kill you both and then end my life. Faced with Li Gui trying to take you, Second Brother didn’t say a word. Wife, Second Brother can lose you, Fourth Brother can let go of your hand, but I can’t live without you!”
“Stop talking!” She rebuked angrily.
“This is just the truth!” He yelled back, “Why don’t you believe in my true feelings, Xiao Yuchuan? Is it because you really care about the jokes I made with you before?”
Xiao Qinghe, who was frying vegetables in the kitchen, heard their argument and came out in his wheelchair. He saw the two of them in the courtyard but said nothing, just watching silently.
Su Qingyue did not respond to Xiao Yuchuan’s words, only looking indifferently at Xiao Qinghe.
