My delicate husband

Chapter 169 Is this a case of being entrusted with an orphan?

At the hour of Mao on the second day, Lan An woke up, but Zhang Xiaomo was still sleeping. Lan An looked at the teeth marks on Zhang Xiaomo's collarbone. There was really a mark left. Even after such a long time, the mark had not faded at all. Lan An touched it and felt a little distressed, but she did not regret it.

"An'an, wake up."

"Brother Xiaomo, I'm sorry."

"An An, it's okay, I like it very much."

After washing up, the two went to the hall to eat. Brother Xie and Brother Zhu had already arrived and were drinking porridge in the hall without any courtesy.

"Brother An, the food here is the best I've ever had."

"You and Brother Zhu can come to my place for dinner if you have nothing to do in the future."

"If I could, I would build my house next to yours. Unfortunately, there is no space left."

After dinner, the group took a ox cart to the county town.

When we arrived at Chuxia Hotpot Restaurant, Brother Xia was already waiting in the private room early in the morning. Brother Wu was also there, but there were a few empty seats between the two of them, and they didn't chat, as if they were not familiar with each other at all.

"Brother Mo, are you feeling well?"

Zhang Xiaomo looked at Brother Wu and understood what he meant. He looked at Brother Wu with a complicated look and shook his head slightly. Brother Wu nodded. He regarded Zhang Xiaomo as a confidant and was unwilling to hide anything from him.

Zhang Xiaomo guessed what Brother Wu was thinking. He thought this was not a good idea, but thinking about how he had made Lan An angry before, he did not intend to remind Brother Wu, even though Brother Wu indirectly saved his life.

"It's nothing serious, don't worry."

Only Lan Ean and Brother Xia noticed the undercurrent between the two of them, after all, their minds were on these two people.

Brother Xie, who was always carefree, also noticed it, looked at the two of them, and found a chair to sit down.

"Old Xia, Old Wu, what's wrong with you?"

"fine."

The two spoke in unison, with pain in Brother Xia's eyes and Brother Wu still looking indifferent.

Lan An pinched the soft flesh on Zhang Xiaomo's waist in annoyance. Zhang Xiaomo lowered his head and kissed Lan An's earlobe. Brother Wu looked at the two of them with a softer expression.

"Ang'er, thank you for helping me handle official business while I was unconscious. The policies you promoted are very good. I want to thank you on behalf of the villagers of Yunling County."

"It's okay, Brother Wu is too polite. I hope you feel better now."

"I'm in good health. I just need to recuperate for a while."

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was lively thanks to the chatterbox Brother Xie, but it was not as pleasant as the previous times.

Brother Xia drank more, and Brother Wu just watched coldly without trying to persuade him. Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo didn't drink. Brother Xie and Zhu Niwajiang drank more, mainly to accompany Brother Xia.

After the meal, Brother Xia was a little drunk, and his steps were a little unsteady, but his eyes were very clear. He just looked at Brother Wu stubbornly, without saying a word, just staring at him straight.

Brother Wu's expression was still cold, and he looked at Brother Xia without hesitation. Seeing that they had almost finished drinking, everyone stood up and said goodbye.

Brother Xia fell down on purpose, but fortunately Brother Xu beside him was quick to catch him. Brother Wu also wanted to take action, but he couldn't help it. He raised and lowered his hand under his clothes, with a trace of pain in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

"I still have some official business to attend to at the county government office, so I'll leave first."

Brother Wu said goodbye to everyone present. When he said goodbye to Brother Xia, he smiled faintly at him and turned to leave.

When Brother Xia saw this smile, his eyes felt a little sore. He wanted to rush up and ask Brother Wu if he really forgot him, but now everything was as he wished, wasn’t it good?

Brother Xia stared blankly at Brother Wu's departing back, feeling as if all his strength had been drained from his body. He leaned casually on the chair. In the end, Lan'an called Bai Lu to help him back to the courtyard.

"Brother An, is there something wrong between Lao Xia and Lao Wu?"

"Yeah, but I'm not sure why exactly."

"What about Brother Mo? You should know, right?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Xiaomo. Seeing Lan An's suspicious eyes, Zhang Xiaomo betrayed Brother Wu without hesitation.

"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Wu suffered a head injury and lost his memory, and he forgot about his relationship with Brother Xia."

"What's going on? It's almost Chinese New Year."

Everyone sighed, with helplessness in their eyes. Brother Xie was a little helpless. He didn't know why. He just pursued a wife and left for just over a month, but it felt like he had been away for several years. It gave people a feeling of powerlessness of leaving home at a young age and returning when he was old.

Brother Kong also found Brother Xie. He had an idea. He planned to marry Brother Xu. He didn't know what Brother Xie thought. It would be best if they got married together. This happiness was too hard to come by. He really wanted to let everyone know. In his heart, he still felt that he had to pray to heaven and earth before God would approve and bless him, so that he and Brother Xu could last longer.

Lan An and others stayed in the county town for one night, not for any other reason, but just to have a good chat with Brother Xia.

On the second day, Brother Xia sobered up and looked much more depressed. When he saw Lan An and the others, he forced himself to greet them and gave Lan An a box. Needless to say, it should be full of banknotes.

Brother Xia briefly talked about the business in the capital. When he mentioned this, Brother Xia looked much better, with a smile on his face.

Brother Xie was impatient. After listening to Brother Xia talking about a bunch of irrelevant things, he interrupted him directly.

"Old Xia, what are you doing? Isn't this your family fortune?"

"I won't be back for a while. This will trouble Brother An and Brother Mo."

"Where's Old Wu? He probably can't leave."

"Well, it just so happens that he forgot what happened between us. I don't think he and I will have much interaction in the future."

When these words were spoken, everyone was a little surprised, and Brother Xie was also a little helpless. Zhang Xiaomo really guessed it right.

Lan An didn't expect that the classic plot in the romance novel would be played out in front of him. Could there be such things as the husband being chased to the crematorium and the vicious female supporting role?

"Brother Xia, Brother Wu won't be able to remember it anymore? What are your plans?"

"Maybe. It's better to forget."

Brother Xia smiled, tears streaming down his eyes. There was sadness, pain, but more of a sense of relief.

"Ang'er, please help him if he needs anything in the future."

Lan An looked at the pleading man in front of him, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement. Brother Xia was one of his few good friends.

"Okay, Brother Xia, I will do my best."

Brother Xia chatted with everyone for a while and then said goodbye. When he left, he stared in one direction reluctantly and finally left with a lost look.

Lan An always felt that it was not that simple. He stared at Zhang Xiaomo and asked seriously:

"Brother Wu didn't lose his memory, right?"

"An An~ leave them alone."

Lan An understood Zhang Xiaomo's subtext and did not ask any more questions. Brother Xia left a letter for Lan An, leaving the house and business in Yunling County to Lan An, but he also explained that all the dividends he received would be given to Brother Wu.

"An An, what did Brother Xia say in the letter?"

"Humph, you traitor, I won't tell you."

"An An, baby, tell your husband that I will always be loyal to you."

"Well, he didn't say anything. He gave me all the properties in Yunling County."

Zhang Xiaomo nodded. He could see that Lan An was unhappy, so he coaxed her carefully. Seeing Lan An's frown finally relax, he felt relieved. He wrote a letter to Brother Wu, giving him some advice, hoping that he could figure it out.

Two days after Brother Xia left, Manager Fang and others also left, leaving Bai Lu behind, and only a few servants were left in the courtyard. Lan An probably knew that he would not be back in the short term.

After knowing this, Brother Xie was still reluctant to leave, his eyes were red, and Zhu the bricklayer was coaxing him.

"Thank you, brother. Why are you crying? You can still write to me later."

"Brother An, what you said is so cruel."

"Isn't Bai Lu still here? We won't be separated forever."

"But we'll only see each other a few times in our lifetime. An'er, will you come back to the village?"

"It should be later. I need to take a good look at the shops left by Brother Xia. I heard that some of them have been making losses. I'd like to take a look."

"Anger, why don't I hang out with you?"

"Aren't you and Brother Zhu doing well now?"

"I think making money is better. I can't bear to see my Yibao suffer."

When Brother Wu received Zhang Xiaomo's letter, his eyes just turned red. He had already deeply engraved Brother Xia's appearance in his mind, and the bedroom was full of Brother Xia's portraits. He finally made up his mind to let him go, and he didn't dare to look at Brother Xia again. Even if he looked at him, he would feel heartbroken and reluctant to leave.

He knew that when he was in a coma, Brother Xia came back to see him despite the risk of his life, which would definitely alarm some people in the capital. Fortunately, the Xiao family did not become suspicious, otherwise it would be very troublesome.

He is not strong enough now, so he can only use this method to protect him. He must occupy a high position as soon as possible so that he can have Brother Xia. What he has to do is very dangerous, and the more unfamiliar their relationship is, the better.

Brother Xie and Brother Kong took advantage of the time when Lan An was in the county town to deal with some things to clean up their house in the county town, organize their luggage, and get rid of unnecessary things. They can be said to have settled down in Lianhua Village in the future.
