Luckily, he wasn’t standing within the doorframe, or else his handsome nose would’ve been squashed by the door.

A moment later, the door opened again. A set of clean clothes was thrown out, “Go and change your clothes in your fourth brother’s room.” Then the door was closed again.

Xiao Yuchuan, cradling his own clothes, happily headed towards the secondary bedroom. “My wife still cares about me.” Even his clothes were pulled out from the cabinet for him.

Su Qingyue had been living under the same roof with Xiao Yuchuan for so many days that it became second nature for her to recognize his clothes in the cabinet. It was not surprising that she found his clothes and threw them out to him.

What irritated her was her action, as if she didn’t want him shaking in the cold with his clothes dripping wet. As night was falling, the temperature was much lower than in the day…

She told herself, she wasn’t worried about him, she was just afraid he would catch a cold and then they’d have to spend money on treatment. The family was poor enough and couldn’t afford any more ups and downs now.

Though she was a doctor and consultation was free, medications were still costly.

She reached for her only coarse cloth women’s clothes, which she had sewn more than a dozen patches on, dropped onto a corner of the bed. She quickly stripped off her wet men’s shirt and changed into it.

By the time she opened the door to come out, Xiao Yuchuan had already changed. He was standing at the door with a towel in his hand, and handed it to her, “Deary, dry your hair.”

She caught it and started drying her damp hair, glancing into the kitchen. Not seeing her second brother, she guessed he had gone out. But the wet clothes he and Xiao Yuchuan had changed out of were soaking in the big tub in the yard.

Xiao Yuchuan entered the room and voluntarily took her wet clothes off the floor and put them in the big tub to soak.

Qingyue went to the bathtub, squatted down, prepared to wash the clothes, but Xiao Yuchuan stopped her, “I’m going to make dinner first, you go rest, I’ll wash these clothes later.”

He held her hand, lightly rubbing the calluses on her palm with his finger, “Your calluses are still hard, you need to take good care of them so they can get softer.”

His hand felt warm against hers, making her heart flutter a bit. She withdrew her hand as though she had been electrocuted, “Go cook the dinner, quick! ”

“I’m going now. It didn’t feel special when I cooked for my second brother and fourth brother, but when I cook for my wife, it really feels different.” He smiled, revealing his neat white teeth that gleamed brightly.

She looked at his cheerful back as he headed to the kitchen basking in the simplicity of cooking.

She suddenly felt that he’s perhaps, not that annoying.

She lowered her head and looked at the clothes soaking in the basin. She soon fetched a stool, and despite his insistence, she sat down and began washing.

When Xiao Yishan entered the yard, he saw his wife washing clothes. She was using a soap pod, rubbing it into a lather and washing the clothes with one hand.

Her half-dry hair mostly hung down her back, with some of it draping over her chest. A few mischievous strands of hair swayed in the breeze across her tender lips.

The way she washed clothes was quiet and soft. Those tender lips of hers filled him with yearning.

His heart, which had been as hard as iron, was slowly melting…

Lifting his hand, he unconsciously touched his disfigured left face, after which he had thought he would remain a bachelor for life, with no woman wanting to be with him, Xiao Yishan.

But now, he had a wife.

His heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction.

Su Qingyue raised her head and saw Xiao Yishan staring at her foolishly. She couldn’t help but stiffen her face and called out, “Second brother..”
