The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man-Chapter 927 - He ...alone
Chapter 927: 927 He …alone Chapter 927: 927 He …alone Outside the door, the crowd that had been watching the commotion had originally not even dared to breathe too loudly, but after hearing Xiao Yuchuan’s words, everyone began to laugh, saying that Yuchuan was surely henpecked.
Xiao Yishan, with a gloomy expression, helped Li Rong’er, who was crying her eyes out, towards their room.
Xiao Yuchuan waved his hand toward the people at the entrance of the courtyard, “Disperse, disperse, there’s nothing to see here.”
Seeing that he was shooing them away, the crowd scattered in twos and threes.
Xiao Qinghe had been outside the courtyard; the courtyard door was so blocked by the onlookers that he hadn’t been able to enter.
With no one left at the entrance of the courtyard, he finally started moving the wheels of his chair toward the yard.
Tao Meijiao, upon seeing him enter the courtyard, stared blankly with her gaze fixed on his face for a moment before somewhat uncomfortably shifting it away.
The house that the Xiao Family built had twelve rooms, and besides those, there was also a living room.
The location of the living room was exactly in between the rooms that were divided for Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Qinghe.
Su Qingyue led Tao Meijiao toward the living room but then she remembered that the living room had been given to her fourth brother and thus said to Xiao Qinghe, “Fourth brother, I have a guest, may I use your living room to entertain her?”
“Qingyue, do as you please,” he said, smiling faintly at her.
“You don’t need to ask me.”
Tao Meijiao, upon seeing his somewhat pale complexion and hearing his words, inexplicably felt a surge of sadness.
Although it was their first meeting, the man in the wheelchair who Su Qingyue referred to as fourth brother could only be Xiao Qinghe, the Xiao Family’s fourth son.
Su Qingyue had once told her that she planned to choose one of the Xiao Family’s men to be her lifelong partner.
Xiao Yuchuan, that kind of man, clearly had the looks of one who flirts with women.
Xiao Qinghe, with such refined and elegant youthfulness, not being chosen, made her pity him deeply.
Could it be that Su Qingyue, like the common folks, also cared about Xiao Qinghe’s disability?
“Qingyue, do as you please…” Meijiao’s mind replayed Xiao Qinghe’s words, understanding that Xiao Qinghe must still hold feelings and hopes for Su Qingyue.
“Meijiao?” Su Qingyue waved her hand in front of her face.

Tao Meijiao returned to her senses, realizing that she had followed Su Qingyue into the living room, she looked outside the door before asking knowingly, “That was your fourth brother, right?”
“Yes,” she nodded.
Xiao Qinghe moved his wheelchair toward the kitchen.
Watching his retreating figure in the wheelchair, Tao Meijiao asked, “Now that the Xiao Family has divided, is he…
alone?”
Su Qingyue nodded.
Tao Meijiao, thinking of such a refined man who was unable to walk, naturally felt a great deal of sympathy.
Xiao Qinghe’s scholarly and gentle temperament was very attractive to her, and she couldn’t help but express her concern, “How is he supposed to take care of himself?
Who cooks for him?”
“He does it himself.” Su Qingyue observed Tao Meijiao’s reaction, knowing she had taken a liking to her fourth brother.
“What if in the middle of the night, he gets a headache or fever, or something…” Tao Meijiao, seeing Su Qingyue’s amused stare, stopped herself, realizing she was overstepping, “Hehe, he’s your fourth brother after all, and even though the family has split, he is still your husband’s younger brother.
We’re good friends; I’m just concerned…”
“After that lengthy explanation…” Su Qingyue looked at her with amusement, “You and my fourth brother are not even distantly related.
You’re so concerned about him, could it be you’ve taken a fancy to him?”
“How could I?” Her denial came with a hint of guilt, “He’s your husband; no matter what, I could never be with him.
Stealing a friend’s husband, would I still be human?
Look at how much I despise Li Rong’er for doing that kind of thing; I’m definitely not that low.”
