Chapter 1260: 1260 Calling wife even in dreams Chapter 1260: 1260 Calling wife even in dreams Xiao Qinghe fell silent.

The family had a rather pleasant lunch.

After the meal, with Yinzhu taking care of the housework, the masters of the house finally had some leisure time.

Su Qingyue didn’t like to stay cooped up inside her room, so she took her charcoal basin outside and started a pile of firewood.

Xiao Yuchuan saw that the firewood was about to run out and prepared to go up the mountain to chop some more.

Qingyue said, “Third brother, you don’t need to chop firewood.

Just buy twenty loads from the villagers.”

“But that will cost money…”

She smiled faintly, “Our third brother is so clever, you saved quite a bit of money on some of the building materials.

Getting the same quality for the lowest price.

The money saved could cover firewood for a lifetime.”

“Wife…”

“It’s rare for you to come back, so spend more time with fourth brother at home.”

The three of them sat around the charcoal basin to warm themselves.

Xiao Qinghe, hearing that Qingyue was planning to get so much firewood, indicating she didn’t plan to take him to town for at least two months, couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

Su Qingyue noticed his crestfallen look and said, “Fourth brother, the residence in the town will take about two more months to complete.

You can stay at home until then.”

“Hmm.” He nodded his head in agreement, willing to wait as long as she would take him, “Qingyue, when do you plan to go back to town?”

“Tomorrow, I guess.”

“That soon.” Xiao Qinghe gazed at her with an expression of reluctance, “Won’t you stay a few more days?”

“We’ve been off for more than ten days for the New Year, and I’ve already agreed with several craftsmen to start work tomorrow.

It’s inconvenient if the owner isn’t there when only a new servant watches over the half-built residence.”

Qinghe suggested, “Maybe third brother can go ahead, and you stay at home for some days.”

Xiao Yuchuan, upon hearing this, was displeased and possessively pulled Qingyue, who was sitting beside him on a desk, onto his lap, “That won’t do.

I can’t stand to be away from my wife for even a day.”

He deliberately emphasized the words ‘my wife’.

Qinghe, watching the woman he loved being held in his third brother’s arms, felt a sour, dull ache in his heart, yet his face betrayed nothing as he kept silent.

Su Qingyue said, “I better go with third brother.”

Not to mention anything else, just in teaching third brother a combination of judo and modern martial arts, he had already shown some progress, and she didn’t want to quit halfway.

She needed to teach him daily and practice moves with him.

Returning to the village today, she already felt like she was wasting a day.

It wasn’t often that she came home, and she didn’t want to practice any martial arts while there.

One after another, villagers came to the Xiao Family to greet them, inevitably bringing up the matter between Xiao Qinghe and Li Rong’er.

Seeing that the Xiao Family didn’t say much, they awkwardly spoke no more.

“Wife, I’m going to the village to see who has extra firewood to sell.” Xiao Yuchuan kissed Su Qingyue’s face reluctantly and left.

Su Qingyue added a few more sticks to the charcoal basin.

The firewood burned fiercely, but not as intensely as Xiao Qinghe’s smoldering gaze next to her.

Qinghe watched her stunning profile, his heart thumping wildly.

Suddenly, he reached out to grasp her hand and murmured longingly, “Wife…”

Su Qingyue pulled her hand back in fright, “Fourth brother, what are you calling out for!”

Xiao Qinghe came back to his senses, filled with frustration.

He had actually called it out loud…

In his heart, he had told himself thousands of times that she was already married to his third brother.

Yet, in his dreams, he called her wife again and again, even dreaming of pinning her beneath him, that it was he who had married her, not his third brother…

She was the wife whom Xiao Qinghe had determined would be his for life, and there would be no one else.
