Chapter 466: 466, second brother is frustrated.
Upon seeing her furrowed brows, Xiao Yishan, afraid she might misunderstand, hurriedly explained, “Why would I not believe you? I’m just worried about the safety of a woman going to town alone.”
“Second brother, you needn’t worry.” She lightly replied, “It’s not my first or second time going to town. Your injury is the priority, you should focus on resting at home.” After all, whether she lies or not is none of his business. He is not her husband.
“Alright then.” Since his wife was insistent, Xiao Yishan had no choice but to let it be.
The dishes from dinner were washed by the second brother. Su Qingyue took the little bastard for a walk and went to bed early, as she had to go to town the next day.
The darkness and silence of the night were especially profound.
Xiao Yishan, a tall and sturdy figure stood at the doorway of the secondary bedroom. He really wanted to join his wife in the room to sleep together.
He was hesitating and uncertain about how to broach the subject.
Thinking about his wife’s cold gaze, he felt like he should storm in there, wrestle her down and ‘do it.’
At least that would keep his heart from continually flipping over.
But she was so delicate and frail, he was afraid of hurting her.
The little bastard walked out of its nest in the corner of the kitchen, perked its ears up, and looked confusedly at the man standing there.
It let out a yawning ‘woof,’ then dispiritedly returned to its nest to sleep.
Xiao Yishan was still debating whether or not to knock on the door.
The clear and pleasant sound of Su Qingyue’s voice echoed in the room,
“Second brother, do you need something?”
“No…it’s about the little bastard. It couldn’t sleep and wandered near your door. I’ll send it back to its nest right away.”
The little wolf cub didn’t understand what he was saying. Upon hearing its name, it perked its ears up, then flopped back down and continued sleeping.
The second brother was always honest and straightforward, and with the door closed and the little bastard walking noiselessly, Su Qingyue didn’t suspect any dishonesty, “Alright then, you should get some sleep too.”
Everything fell silent in the secondary bedroom.
Xiao Yishan kept a straight face and pretended to chase the little bastard. He deliberately walked with heavy steps to the kitchen doorway, shot a menacing glance at the little wolf pup, then headed towards the master bedroom.
Upon his approach, the little pup opened its wolf eyes. On observing his brutal gaze, its eyes were filled with innocence. It didn’t understand human language, nor could it figure out what it did to provoke him when it was sleeping so peacefully.
Just as Xiao Yishan returned to the master bedroom, he was greeted by Xiao Yuchuan’s taunting voice, “Oh, the second brother got chased back?” His face cold as winter snow, he climbed onto his bed with a scowl.
“I knew exactly what tricks you were up to the moment you stood at your wife’s door. It’s pointless even discussing it with you,” Xiao Yuchuan sneered gleefully, “Even when I sneak over there in the dead of the night, I can’t get any advantage, yet here you are, a gimp, dreaming about climbing into your wife’s bed. Aren’t you afraid she’ll break your remaining leg?”
“Shut up,” responded Xiao Yishan tersely. “Just go to sleep.”
“I will if I feel like it,” rejoined Xiao Yuchuan joyously, “The second brother’s plans to allure his wife while I’m weakened won’t be so easy. Now I can sleep peacefully knowing you’ll be frustrated. I’m sure I’ll sleep really well tonight.”
“Third brother!” Came the angry reprimand.
“Second brother, don’t talk to me. I’m sleeping.”
The next morning, Su Qingyue opened her sleepy eyes in the secondary bedroom to the scent of dried fern permeating the room..
