Chapter 42 The Weak Son-in-Law of a Wealthy Family 11

Wu Tongxue, with a cold face, pointed to the simple bedding on the ground and spoke to Yin Youci, who had reappeared.

"Okay, go to sleep now."

Yin Youci looked back and forth between the sleeping mat and his wife, as if he didn't understand. "?"

Hmm... why is he sleeping here?

Wu Tongxue pursed her lips, on the verge of tears again, "So you really don't want to live with me? Are you going to go find some other little vixens?"

Li Ma, who brought the hangover soup, was speechless.

There's a big surprise.

She immediately felt sorry for her son-in-law; his pitiful appearance was just too heart-melting.

Silently, she looked at Yin Youci with a reproachful gaze, then kindly coaxed Wu Tongxue to drink the hangover soup.

Yin Youci: "..."

When facing Li Ma, Wu Tongxue was very obedient. Even though the hangover soup tasted bad, she obediently drank it all.

Li Ma turned around and saw the bedding on the ground. She then gave Yin Youci a strange look and silently condemned him for not knowing how to cherish women.

Yin Youci was speechless; how could she reason with a drunkard?

He compromised, saying, "I'll sleep."

Wu Tongxue was satisfied. Ignoring the cold, hard floor mat, she walked to the soft bed, lifted the covers, and lay down to sleep.

Yin Youci stood there for a while, then turned around a few times. When she turned back, she saw that the person who had been facing away from her had turned over at some point and was looking at her intently.

My steps suddenly froze.

Seeing that someone had gone to lie down and rest on the floor, Wu Tongxue turned around again and lay down with her back to him.

Soon, a rhythmic, light breathing sounded.

Yin Youci felt uncomfortable all over, so she got up after the person fell asleep and wrung out a hot towel to wipe him down.

He cries at the drop of a hat; he's really scared of him.

After getting ready, she went straight to bed. Soon after, someone snuggled into her arms. Yin Youci skillfully wrapped her arms around the person before closing her eyes.

The moon was high in the sky, and a gentle breeze swirled away.

Have a good night's sleep.

……

The next day, Wu Tongxue was woken up by a commotion outside.

Slowly waking up, her eyelashes fluttered as she opened her eyes, and what she saw was a fair arm.

He quietly loosened his arms, carefully moved a short distance away, and did so with practiced ease.

Yin Youci always woke up later than him and didn't realize that he would always lean against him to sleep.

Just as Wu Tongxue was about to get up, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"!"

He turned around abruptly. Yin Youci still had her eyes closed. Her features were distinct, and her face, without makeup, was androgynous, beautiful yet heroic.

With one hand easily encircling his wrist, Wu Tongxue realized that Yin Youci's hand was larger than his, with distinct knuckles, long fingers, and veins hidden beneath the skin on the back of her hand. It wasn't a soft, delicate beauty, but a powerful and beautiful one.

A person with hands like these is definitely not a delicate flower in a greenhouse.

A hoarse voice came softly, "Wife, sleep a little longer."

Wu Tongxue: "?" Did he hear me wrong?

Whose wife are you calling? Who is whose wife?

You must be half asleep.

Wu Tongxue nudged the person, pretending that she hadn't slept next to anyone last night, "Get up, someone's here."

"hurry up."

Yin Youci suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him.

Wu Tongxue was puzzled. "Hurry up and find me some clothes later."

"Last night...don't you remember?" Yin Youci's words were vague, and her expression was evasive.

Wu Tongxue was puzzled. "I remember meeting Mo Xin, watching the stars with him for a while, and then..."

He was lost in memories. Yeah, and then what?

Did you bring me back?

Yin Youci took a while to answer, which made Wu Tongxue extremely uneasy. Could it be that he did something last night?

Yin Youci: "I brought you back."

He added, "It's alright, it's better to forget about it."

His words piqued Wu Tongxue's curiosity. "What did I do last night?"

"It's nothing. I just found out that my husband can't hold his liquor. He shouldn't drink when he's out alone in the future." Yin Youci acted like a good wife.

"?" Wu Tongxue didn't understand. Never mind, she'll ask Lingling later.

Yin Youci hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Wu Tongxue stopped washing up. "What did I do last night?"

Yin Youci stopped, as if about to speak again.

"Speak."

Yin Youci looked helpless. "It's nothing, it's just that last night he..."

"Honey, have you forgotten everything?" He lowered his head in disappointment, looking extremely heartbroken.

Wu Tongxue felt strangely guilty; although he didn't know what he had done, it seemed to be his fault.

If I ask again, won't he be even more upset?

"Fine, I'll just pretend nothing happened."

Wu Tongxue dared not move; it seemed he had really done something bad.

Unbeknownst to Wu Tongxue, a fleeting smile crossed someone's eyes.

My wife is so cute.

Wu Tongxue pursed her lips, at a loss for what to do.

Yin Youci put on a forlorn look, appearing extremely pitiful, and said, "Husband, can you promise me one thing?"

Wu Tongxue hesitated: "...What is it?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but if I do anything to upset you in the future, can you forgive me?" Yin Youci looked weak and pitiful, gazing at him expectantly.

Generally speaking, this implies that something wrong has already been done.

But Wu Tongxue thought to herself, what wrong could he possibly do? And even if he did, he wouldn't really be angry.

They had a marriage of convenience, and would part ways in two years, by which time his mission would definitely be complete.

He nodded. "Okay."

Yin Youci smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember."

Wu Tongxue felt as if something was on her mind, but she quickly put it out of her mind.

"Get up quickly, someone from the family has come."

The noise from below was incessant; I wonder if it was an attempt to deliberately wake the homeowner.

Compared to Wu Tongxue's speed, Yin Youci was extremely leisurely, moving slowly. Little did she know that she was only a little slow when she was caught off guard by a huge bombshell.

Wu Tongxue couldn't wait for Yin Youci's snail-like pace, so she pretended to say something to him and went downstairs first.

Today, all those who came were members of the Yin family, and there were quite a few of them. They sat down below and made a lot of noise.

As soon as Wu Tongxue came down, everyone's eyes fell on him, their gazes extremely strange.

But the reason doesn't seem to lie with him.

When Wu Tongxue arrived on the first floor, the people were still staring at him—some furtively, some enthusiastically, some strangely, some pitifully…

"Tong Xue is here, come and sit down. Is Youci awake yet?"

"It's been a long time since I've seen you all. I've come to visit you today." These words came from a plump, elegant woman, her tone warm and welcoming.

Wu Tongxue didn't recognize all of them, but she remembered that they were all related to the Yin family. In fact, they didn't have many opportunities to meet; the last time they met...

It seems to have been at that wedding without a bride.

They used to regard Wu Tongxue, their son-in-law, as an appendage of Yin Youci, and their attitude was polite but not warm. How come they have all changed today?

Wu Tongxue couldn't understand why they had changed, but they would explain it to him later.

"Brother-in-law, you knew all along that my sister was a man, didn't you?"

Brother-in-law?

sister?

man?

Wu Tongxue did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Why are you calling me 'sister'? Call me 'brother'!" The boy was slapped.

Wu Tongxue sat silently, her mind slowly processing the information.

a long time.

...His wife is a man?
