Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Change of Heart So Soon?
"No, get out!"
Xiaoxiao immediately made her intentions clear; she wasn’t there to live with Yang Ming. Staying was only a temporary measure. Once she had saved enough money, she could leave.
But she hadn’t expected an accident, and now with Qiuqiu, the idea of taking Qiuqiu and running away didn’t seem too bad.
"You’ve changed your heart so quickly?"
Yang Ming hadn’t expected her to outright reject him, and it left a bad taste in his heart. The hurtful words came out without thinking, and as soon as he said them, he regretted it!
"Yes, I’ve changed!" Xiaoxiao was very angry; how could this man not know how to speak properly or make conversation? So she angrily confirmed the change, just to see what he would do.
"It seems your affection wasn’t that deep after all!"
"..."
Xiaoxiao felt that she simply couldn’t have a pleasant chat with her nominal husband! She decided to stop speaking altogether.
It was still early before bedtime when she saw Yang Ming sitting at the table, actually starting to read her book.
Silence, silence, and more silence. Being alone, the quiet didn’t seem like much, but with someone suddenly beside her not talking, Xiaoxiao found it unbearable, feeling an overwhelming need for conversation!
"Are you planning to stay and raise the child with me?" Xiaoxiao finally asked.
"Yes!"
"..." This personality, how could it be just like Yang Dong’s from the beginning, the type who doesn’t talk much.
"Don’t you plan to divorce me?"
"Not divorcing!"
"..."
This... had she made a mistake staying in this family? She should have left from the beginning; now she felt like she couldn’t shake him off!
In fact, Yang Ming wasn’t interest in reading at all; he was holding the book upside down. But he didn’t know what to say to Xiaoxiao, fortunately, his wife initiated the conversation and he could express the attitude he ought to!
"Aren’t you going to the Academy anymore?"
"I am."
Great, he was still going to the Academy. She couldn’t stand it if they were together in one room every day. With this news, Xiaoxiao felt less upset and drifted off to sleep once more.
After Xiaoxiao fell asleep, Yang Ming found a quilt, laid it at the foot of the kang bed, climbed on, slipped into the quilt, and went to sleep as well.
The next morning, Yang Ming returned to the Academy. This time he didn’t leave without saying goodbye; instead, he said to Xiaoxiao:
"Wait for me to come back!"
"..."
Xiaoxiao couldn’t help feeling that these words sounded like something from a TV drama where the male and female leads are parting, yet she was not the female lead deeply loved by the hero! Such a pity!
After getting up, Xiaoxiao felt much better today and didn’t feel sick anymore. So she went to check on the kimchi production.
"Younger Brother, what happened to your face, did you get into a fight?"
As soon as Xiaoxiao entered, she noticed some bruising on her younger brother-in-law’s face.
"It’s nothing, I just bumped into something! Are you feeling better, Sister-in-law? Maybe you should go back and rest some more!"
"I feel much better. Do you think pregnancy has rendered me invalid? Don’t worry, see, I’m still jumping around."
As she spoke, Xiaoxiao even twirled around to show him that she was completely fine.
"..." The sister-in-law is really pregnant! Whose child is it? Her third older brother’s?
The others in the kitchen watched the exchange between Xiaoxiao and Yang Dong, their expressions grave.
"What’s with you guys? Has something happened at home?"
Xiaoxiao, noticing everyone’s odd behaviour, asked directly. She had always been a straightforward person, always asking questions when in doubt, except perhaps for her awkward interactions with her nominal husband... how to get along with him was still a mystery.
"Younger Sister-in-law, there is nothing wrong!" The eldest sister-in-law quickly chimed in to alleviate the situation.
As family members started getting busy, Xiaoxiao looked on, pondering. The workload of supplying eight towns and one county overwhelmed her. They were short-staffed, space was tight, and money was scarce. Without money, nothing moved forward; it seemed necessary to talk with the "big golden leg."
