Chapter 1502: 1502 needs to be honed

"In front of my wife, I never care about losing face. I’m taller than you, but my aura falls short. It must be where the saying ’a hero’s spirit is brief’ comes from." As he spoke, he kissed her again.

All night, the two were as inseparable as glue, entwined in affection until they finally fell asleep in each other’s arms.

The next day, Xiao Yuchuan woke up early and looked at his beloved wife sleeping in his arms, her eyelashes curling long and upwards, her cherry lips tender and rosy, her face so beautiful it defied description.

A sense of inexplicable contentment rose in his heart.

His chest was brimming with love for her; oh, what bliss it would be to hold her like this for a lifetime.

Though she was his wife and they were destined never to part in this life, he still always felt an anxiety of loss, and without realizing it, he tightened his embrace.

Her eyelids fluttered, and upon opening her eyes, she saw his loving gaze, "Third Brother, you’re awake so early?"

A flicker of guilt passed through his eyes, "Wife, I’ve woken you..."

"It’s okay."

"Wife, I think our life is very good like this. If the Xiao couple would not disturb our life, then I will not be the heir of the Xiao Family. Would that be alright?"

"Yes." She nodded.

A wave of emotion surged in his heart, "Wife, you’re so good."

She lifted her hand to caress his handsome face, "What’s so good about me?"

"Other women wish their husbands great success; you never pressure me, and even when my family was in danger, you shouldered everything." There was nothing but tender adoration in his eyes, "I ache for your sacrifices. Your abilities are too great, beyond everyone’s expectations. I really want to use all my strength so that you never have to suffer the slightest grievance."

She knew he had more to say, so she quietly listened.

"To me, the Xiao couple carry no weight. If I had to choose between them and you, I would always choose you. I know they cannot accept you. If I return to the Xiao Family, and really ruin them, taking over control of the family, they are still my birth parents, after all. To do such a thing would seem too heartless. So, why don’t I just give up being the heir of the Xiao Family? Let’s just happily live our own life."

A smile appeared on her lips, "That’s exactly what I wish for."

He held her tight, "Then good, we will just happily live our life in the town."

"Not necessarily in the town; if our business grows bigger, we can expand even further." She had her own plans.

He embraced her, emotionally moved, "As long as I’m with you, anything is fine."

But she was not so optimistic.

She didn’t doubt Third Brother’s feelings for her; he was ready to give up the powerful position of the Xiao Family heir just for her, due to his parents’ disapproval of her, which showed how deeply he loved her.

Because she loved him too, she couldn’t bring herself to harm his parents.

After all, Third Brother was not as cold-blooded as a killer like herself. He couldn’t bring himself to ruin the Xiao Chonghuan couple and seize control of the family.

He wanted to give up his position as the heir of the Xiao Family, but that was just his wishful thinking. The Xiao couple only had one son; how could they possibly let him go?

In the end, Third Brother’s ideas were too idealistic.

A man who was willing to give up his future for her, the Xiao couple would surely dislike her even more.

Although Su Qingyue was moved by Xiao Yuchuan’s deep love, she was not the kind of person to easily waver in her convictions.

She decided to let things unfold naturally, as they had before.

Before meeting her, Third Brother’s life consisted of being a simple village man, traversing villages as a vendor for years, doing business with her, and studying medicine and poison. Compared to the cunning and powerful Xiao couple, he still had much to learn.
