The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man

Chapter 575: 575 Yue’er, I am worried about you 2

“There really isn’t…”

He explained himself, “It’s not that I don’t dare to confront the Qian Clan brothers, it’s just that I don’t want you going to the government office. In case you go to jail, a prison cell is no place for a woman like you. How could you bear such suffering? It doesn’t matter if I, Xiao Yishan, get imprisoned, but I can’t let you suffer the slightest harm. I’d rather compensate with money than jeopardize you.”

She nodded, “Second brother, you don’t have to say so much, I understand.”

“Yue’er, as long as you understand,” he reached out to put his arm around her shoulder, “I’m just afraid you’ll misunderstand.”

Her body stiffened for a moment, “I won’t.”

He tried to approach her and kiss her, but she suddenly stood up, “Second brother, I have to go.”

He was disappointed that he couldn’t kiss her, but sincerely promised, “Yue’er, the matter between me and Liu Haitang was over six years ago. Now, my heart only has room for you. You can rest assured that I will wholeheartedly treat you well in the future…”

“Oh, second brother,” she said, almost in tears, “I’m not really worth it…”

“You are.”

“Second brother…” she looked at his determined face, wanting to say something but not wanting to hurt him.

Second brother’s heartfelt confession to her had made her understand her own thoughts.

She had always liked second brother’s physique- those hard, powerful lines of muscle were even better than those of Ancient Greek models.

That kind of body just made her want to drool.

She had even been an anthomaniac for a while.

However, if another man had such a physique, she would still like it too.

About four years ago in the Xiao Family, third brother’s body would sometimes faint, fourth brother was disabled, and second brother could shoulder the responsibility of the family, not escaping or avoiding it.

Moreover, since second brother had always treated her well, she had been touched, but never felt the stirrings of love for him.

More precisely, she had some degree of respect for him.

Therefore, when she knew second brother was her husband, she felt only frightened, not pleasantly surprised.

When second brother forcefully kissed her, she felt nothing but anger, with no other feelings.

Now, after hearing that second brother had had sex with other women and truly loved Liu Haitang in the past…

Second brother also bore her husband’s title, and her heart could not rise to the slightest bit of jealousy as if she was listening to a passerby speaking about their love life.

This only proved she had no romantic feelings toward the second brother.

She even wished second brother to find true love as soon as possible; she would not mind even if he made love right in front of her.

If second brother did make love with another woman in her presence, she would definitely watch attentively.

With the muscles and physiques of second brother…

In modern times, he would make a purebred adult film star, definitely a best-seller.

“What does Yue’er want to say?” Xiao Yishan asked, seeing her hesitant expression.

She wanted to tell him what was in her heart, but it would hurt second brother.

She didn’t want to hurt him, and moreover…

What would it accomplish even if she said it? It’s not like it would complete everything just by pushing him away.

In the middle were also Xiao Qinghe and Xiao Yuchuan.

Second brother was strong and sturdy, perhaps it wouldn’t matter if he got hurt once or twice. But Qinghe…

Thinking about how he cried on the streets with tears in his eyes, she just couldn’t bear to hurt him.

Her position was painfully awkward, making her want to die!

It was impossible.

No matter how messed up her situation was, she had to live well.

“It’s nothing,” she sighed. “Second brother, you should go home for breakfast. I really need to leave.”
