Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1327: Years Of Misunderstanding ( 2 )

When they had just gotten married, Bai Jian heard that Wang Qiuhe had someone she liked. So, he didn't want to pressure her or force her to like him.

Therefore, after spending their wedding night together, he didn't touch her and only stayed for a few days before returning to the barracks.

He didn't expect that one night could make her pregnant. When his wife gave birth to their eldest daughter, he was on a mission and couldn't come back. When he returned, their daughter was already a few months old.

He missed her so much that he couldn't help but get closer to her and roll in the sheets for several nights. When he left, he gave her all of his savings. Their relationship was neither cold nor hot; it was more like politeness instead of affections.

He thought he would be able to keep this kind of relationship for years, but when he heard that his wife was asking for a divorce, he was angry and finally dared to face his own feelings. He couldn't lose her even if she hated him because of it.

When he returned, he didn't let her leave the room. In the fifth year of their marriage, his wife gave birth to another daughter.

This time, he was injured during the mission and couldn't come back. When he finally returned, his second daughter was almost one year old.

Now that he was finally able to return to accompany her during her confinement, he witnessed how his mother treated his wife and children.

Thinking about how his mother had pinched his wife until her body was covered in bruises and wounds, his heart was filled with hatred.

Wang Qiuhe saw that her husband was lost in thought and asked, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Hearing her soft voice, Bai Jian returned to his senses and said, "Wife, I promise to never let you be bullied anymore."

"As for those who say you are unworthy of me, don't listen to them. I married you because I like you, and I don't plan to separate from you for the rest of my life."

"So, you should also stop thinking about getting a divorce. I will never let you go," he added solemnly.

Wang Qiuhe was stunned by her husband's words. She looked at him for a while and asked in disbelief, "But didn't you hate me for separating you from the girl you loved?"

Bai Jian frowned at her words and asked, "Who told you that nonsense? I never liked anyone besides you."

"It's your mother who told me that you liked a distant relative from your maternal family," Wang Qiuhe replied softly.

This time, Bai Jian was angry when he heard her words and said, "That's nonsense!"

Startled by her husband's anger, Wang Qiuhe pulled her hand back from his grip and said, "I-I'm sorry."

Seeing how pale his wife's face was, Bai Jian felt pain in his heart. He pulled her into his arms, patted her back slowly, and said, "Wife, I'm not angry at you. Don't be afraid."

Feeling how her body trembled like a leaf battered in a storm, he closed his eyes and felt guilty. If only he had paid more attention to his wife, would she not have ended up like this?

The doctor had said that his wife was malnourished for a long time and had developed depression and anxiety. While the illness couldn't be seen in her body, it affected her mind. If left untreated, she might go crazy or even take her own life.

Just the thought of losing her made him scared.

After a while, he buried his head on his wife's frail shoulder and whispered, "Wife, I'm sorry. Please don't be scared of me. I won't hurt you."

"Let's not go back to my parents' home anymore. I will go back to pack up our belongings and bring our daughters over. When you are strong enough to travel, we will go back to the barracks together."

"Husband, can I really go with you?" Wang Qiuhe asked timidly.

"Yes. You are my wife. If you can't come with me, then who can?" Bai Jian replied with a chuckle.

When she heard her husband's words, Wang Qiuhe finally let out a soft laugh and said, "Thank you, Husband."

"Silly, you don't have to thank your husband."

The two of them hugged each other for a while before letting go. Wang Qiuhe blushed when she glanced at her husband. She never thought that he really liked her.

All these years, she thought that he only slept with her out of responsibility and duty as a husband. But now that he had finally confessed, she realized that she had misunderstood him for so many years.

Bai Jian smiled and handed her a cup of milk while saying, "Wife, be good and finish the milk."

Feeling sweet in her heart, Wang Qiuhe nodded and finished the milk obediently.

Not long after, they heard Lu Han's voice coming from outside the curtain.

"Brother Bai, can I come in?"

Hearing this, Bai Jian pulled open the curtain and said, "Brother Lu, have a seat."

Lu Han handed a basket of berries to him and said, "Brother Bai, I won't stay for long. My second sister-in-law will be discharged today, and I need to go help with the procedure."

"My wife picked these berries from the mountain. They are very sweet and nutritious. Sister-in-law just gave birth and can have them to nourish her body."

Bai Jian didn't refuse the gift and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu."

Lu Han smiled and said, "I heard from my second sister-in-law that you plan to bring your wife and children to the barracks. If you don't mind, how about visiting my house before you leave?"

"It's been years since we last met. We should have some wine and chat to reconnect," he added.

Bai Jian thought about Lu Han's situation when they first met and said, "Alright. We will visit you and your wife when my wife is discharged from the hospital."
