The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1046 - Chapter 1046 1046

Chapter 1046: 1046 Chapter 1046: 1046 Xiao Yuchuan stepped out of the room and saw his wife’s thin and frail figure in the yard, his heart ached.

He walked up behind her and whispered softly, “Wife…”

She turned around, her gaze gently resting upon him, “Has Fourth Brother taken his medicine?”

“He took the medicine and drank the porridge as well.”

“That’s good.” She didn’t know what to say to Third Brother.

He hugged her tightly, his body trembling slightly, “Wife, I can’t lose youaEUR”I can’t!”

She lifted her head to look at his handsome, albeit slightly pale, face.

Third Brother always shone brightly, but his thoughts were very detailed.

He was bold and smart, never fearing anything.

Yet he was so afraid of losing her.

She reached out to caress his face, “Who said you are going to lose me?”

He almost wished to meld her into his very bones, “Wife, you are too outstanding, too wonderful.

I am always anxious, truly afraid you’ll disappear one day.”

She reached out to gently stroke his back, “I’ve said it, as long as you don’t fail me, I, Su Qingyue, will not let you down.

As for Fourth Brother…” She gave a bitter smile, “In this life, it is destined that I can only fail him.”

He buried his face in her fair neck and shoulder, murmuring deeply with anguish, “You are mine, only mine!”

“Mmm,” she nodded in agreement.

Having received her promise, he felt like he swallowed a reassurance pill, the restless fear in his heart subsided a little, but still fraught with the worry of losing her.

Xiao Yishan walked into the yard and saw the embracing couple.

His already stern facial expression stiffened further, “How is Fourth Brother’s injury?”

Xiao Yuchuan did not speak but merely pointed toward Qinghe’s room.

Xiao Yishan entered the room and saw Xiao Qinghe sitting up with two empty bowls on the desk beside the bed.

Judging by the residue in the bowls, they must’ve contained a bowl of medicine and a bowl of porridge.

Knowing that Fourth Brother had taken his medicine and porridge, he felt relieved, “Fourth Brother, you’re awake.

Do you feel any better?”

“I’ve worried Second Brother,” Qinghe said in a voice void of emotion.

“Fourth Brother, you truly are muddle-headed!” Xiao Yishan scolded with a stern face, “What could be more important than life itself!

You disregard your life so carelessly, how should Second Brother even speak of you!”

A flash of guilt crossed Qinghe’s eyes, and he pursed his lips without further comment.

Xiao Yishan expressed his care with a few words and then left.

In the evening, Xiao Yuchuan brought medicine and a meal into Qinghe’s room, placed them on the table, and then pulled the table over to the edge of the bed so that Xiao Qinghe could easily reach them, “Will you dine by yourself?”

He shook his head, “I won’t eat.”

Yuchuan frowned, “What do you mean?”

Qinghe stated flatly, “I want Qingyue to feed me.”

Xiao Yuchuan’s anger soared instantly, “Then you can just starve to death.”

He merely curved his lips in a faint smile, saying nothing.

In the middle of the night, the moonlight was clear and bright.

The night wind blew through the courtyard.

Xiao Yishan came over from the next room, intending to check on Fourth Brother before sleeping.

Seeing the untouched food on the table, he frowned, “Fourth Brother, you didn’t have dinner?

You didn’t take your medicine either.”

“I don’t have much of an appetite,” he said.

“That’s no excuse,” Xiao Yishan’s resolute face showed anger, “Fourth Brother, you are so weak, having just returned from the Ghost Gate.

How can you get better without taking your medicine or eating?”

Li Rong’er, with an injury on her face, walked into the room covering it with a cloth towel, “Fourth Brother, I came to see you.

Why haven’t you eaten your dinner or taken your medicine?” Looking at the rice, it was white boiled fine rice, and the vegetables were chicken stew.

Clearly, the food was not at fault; it was his temperament.
