“Qingyue, take it.” He placed the moneybag in her palm again, “If you don’t take it, I’ll be sad.” This was all he could give her.
She didn’t refuse any longer, “Thank you.”
He smiled, “Between you and me, there’s no need for thanks.” Regardless, he was still her husband.
The atmosphere felt inexplicably melancholic. To change the subject, she playfully winked at him, “Tell me honestly, where did you get this money? Is it your private stash?”
Seeing her bright pupils blinking at him, looking incredibly adorable, his heart raced, “I… More than three years ago when my leg wasn’t disabled, I worked as a temporary worker in town to make money. Second Brother has always been managing the household, and all the money goes to him. This half tael was earned on the side, and it was my… last time making money in this life. Just half a tael, even if I’d handed it over, it wouldn’t have been of much use. So, I kept it as a memento.”
Listening to him, her heart felt heavy, “Since this money means so much to you, I can’t take it even more…”
Seeing her still wanting to refuse, he said, “When I have this money, I think of the time when the accident just happened. Please spend it for me.”
She tightly clutched the moneybag, knowing that he was worried about her being cold and hungry after leaving this family. She would keep it for him but not spend it, “I’ve been standing for a while and feel tired. Can I sit down for a moment?”
He nodded, thinking she would sit on the chair in the room. But she sat right on the edge of the bed, and her small hand even held his hand.
He looked at her in surprise, his handsome face flushing a light shade of pink.
She was even more embarrassed by his reaction, as if she was seducing her young uncle, “Uh… I think your hand is so pretty, I… just want to touch it…” He wanted to pull his hand back but stopped when she pressed down on it, ‘
Her small hand seemed to be just caressing his hand, but her right fingertips subtly checked his pulse. She probably couldn’t cure his leg injury, but to avoid hurting his feelings, she decided to check his pulse in secret.
“Qingyue…” He opened his mouth hesitantly, not understanding what she was doing.
“Xiao Qinghe, do you mind that I’m deaf?” She asked softly.
He shook his head. He was afraid she might mind that he was disabled.
“Do you mind that I’m ugly?” A shadow of sadness crossed her face.
He gazed into her bright, watery eyes, “In my heart, you’re beautiful.”
Having diagnosed his illness, she looked back at his pale, handsome face, his eyes so sincere and genuine. This man truly didn’t despise her. She silently made a decision in her heart, “I understand.”
In this family, the most pitiful person was Xiao Qinghe.
She withdrew her hand and stood up, “It’s getting dark. I’ll go make dinner.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” He nodded. He wanted to help her but was powerless to do so.
Only once she left did he stroke the spot on his right wrist where she had touched him with his left hand. Her small hand was warm, covering his right hand, touching his knuckles and then his wrist…
He liked her touching him like that.
He liked the warmth she brought to him.
Although her actions just now were a bit strange. It didn’t seem like she was seducing him. She was his wife, and she could do whatever she wanted to him.
Suddenly, he had an impulse to tell his second and third brothers to keep an eye on Qingyue, to confine her and never let her leave.
But he couldn’t..
