Chapter 200: Chapter 200 The Old Rascal_1

After the Zhao Family and the Li Family left, there was quite a commotion from their family members, which caused me so much annoyance and irritation. In order to prevent such things from happening again, although I agreed to this marriage, I also required your parents to sign an agreement and hand over your deed of sale to me. From then on, you should sever ties with the Lin Family and never have any contact with them," Zhao Erhu said as he glanced at the person in his arms, continuing only after noticing that Lin Yue had no significant reaction.

"My actions weren’t solely due to the Zhao and Li Families. I was just thinking, since your family could sell you for money, they are not worthy of being considered your family. Why would you need any contact with them? Now that you have become Zhao Erhu’s wife, I will naturally protect you. Whether you have your natal family or not doesn’t matter. I had offered the bride price to your parents, and they did as agreed, so I brought you home that same day.

I hadn’t expected you to be so young. The matchmaker said you had reached marriageable age, but your parents said you were fourteen already, yet you looked frail and were still just a child. How could I lay a hand on such a little one? I merely wanted to help you out of your outerwear to rest. Who would have thought you’d be so timid and get scared like that, even falling ill the next day. You know the rest," said Zhao Erhu, his gaze turning teasingly towards Lin Yue, obviously sporting a meaningful smile.

"That’s it? There’s no more to the story?" Lin Yue said, feeling somewhat dissatisfied and outright ignoring Zhao Erhu’s teasing.

"Of course, that’s it. But regarding the deed of sale... to tell the truth, I had heard about your escape from your family before you married into ours, and you were so resistant towards me. At first, I did have my guard up, afraid that you would run away or, like Yunxiang from the Li Family, run off with another man. So at that time, I didn’t take your deed to the government office for household registration. I wanted to observe you for a while because if you did such a thing, wouldn’t I—" Before Zhao Erhu could finish, Lin Yue retorted sharply, scratching him a few times in disagreement.

"What kind of talk is that? You trust me so little? What does ’running off with another man’ mean? Am I, Lin Yue, the type of fickle and flirtatious woman? No wonder you watched me so closely back then, even rushing over when I just went out to wash something. So this is how you thought of me. Zhao Erhu, I see now you are the true heartless and faithless one, the cold-hearted scoundrel without a conscience, doubting a woman who has opened her heart to you, wanting nothing more than to live out her days with you. You’ve truly broken my heart," Lin Yue said, relentlessly poking at Zhao Erhu.

This girl was purposely provoking him, truly a mischievous little one. Zhao Erhu grabbed Lin Yue’s arm, engulfing her small hand, with a blend of exasperation and affection. "You, always so impulsive, can’t you just listen to me till the end without interrupting, as I said, you are my wife in every legitimate sense, and there are subsequent matters."

"So, what happened next?" Lin Yue, unable to move her hand, shook her little feet instead, restless anyway.

"Of course, I saw your sincerity and realized you truly wanted to live life with me. So, I took your deed to the government and secretly sorted out your household registration. Now, in the government records, you, Lin Yue, are Zhao Erhu’s wife, both legally and officially. So you can’t escape now. Just be a good little wife for the rest of your life. Your husband will take great care of you." After saying this, Zhao Erhu quickly stole a kiss on the plump, moist lips of his little wife. The taste of a little wife is truly not bad at all.

What Zhao Erhu didn’t say was that he did it not only because he saw the sincerity in his little wife but also because he felt a sense of crisis after sensing something off about Jiang Ziqi. He was terrified his little wife would be snatched away and rushed to the government office to sort out Lin Yue’s registration. Of course, he would never tell his little wife this; he wanted her to see more of his good side and was unwilling for her to see the dark and profound parts of him.

"You old rascal, I won’t talk to you anymore, I still need to go cook, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, we’ve invited everyone over for a meal, as the host I can’t just hide in the room, how inappropriate that would be." Lin Yue said, trying to get up, but Zhao Erhu held her tight and wouldn’t let go.

"Zhao Erhu, listen clearly, you old man, let go of me quickly, I still have to cook, stop messing around, or I’ll get angry!" Sadly, Lin Yue’s threatening voice was soft and lacked conviction, not at all like she was going to get angry, more like a married couple flirting with each other.

Although Zhao Erhu had been explaining himself to Lin Yue, he hadn’t forgotten the injuries on her body. Seeing that his little wife had finally stopped being awkward with him, he was unwilling to waste time. He reached out to unbutton her clothes to check Lin Yue’s injuries.

"Zhao Erhu, you old lecher, so shameless, casually unbuttoning a maiden’s clothes, if you keep this up, I will kick you with my foot!" Lin Yue thought Zhao Erhu was trying to take advantage of her again, and wriggled about in his arms, refusing to comply.

"Niuniu, be good, let me check your injuries, Zhao Yunxiang is very strong, I’m afraid she hurt you badly, can you just cooperate?" Zhao Erhu suddenly became serious and earnest. His young wife didn’t understand the danger; Zhao Yunxiang was heavy-handed, and if she had damaged something vital internally, it wouldn’t be a light matter. Therefore, regardless of whether his little wife cooperated or not, this examination was absolutely necessary.

However, Zhao Erhu had underestimated his wife. Lin Yue, who had dealt with Zhao Yunxiang so deftly, surely knew how to avoid injury, and most of the force from Zhao Yunxiang’s blows had been deflected by her. It only looked severe but in reality, the injuries were not serious at all.

After a heart-to-heart and clearing things up, they understood each other better. Lin Yue felt her relationship with Zhao Erhu had grown closer, and now she spoke with less reservation than before. Waving her hand, she said, "No need, you still don’t know your own wife? I have my own skills. Aunt Zhao Lan never gained much advantage over me, let alone your annoying sister, who loves to bully me. It’s nothing but some superficial wounds, there’s no need for you to check on me."

Lin Yue wouldn’t give Zhao Erhu such a perfect opportunity to take advantage of her. This old man was such a lecher, always behaving improperly, constantly groping her; she didn’t believe he would miss such an opportunity, allowing him to freely enjoy her ’tofu’ without a fight.

"Niuniu, you’re being disobedient again; you can’t avoid this, I have to give you a thorough check before I can rest easy. Don’t force me to use force on you," Zhao Erhu drew out his words, clearly a threat, but unlike Lin Yue’s soft warnings, it was far more intimidating.
