Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

"Cough, cough cough cough cough!!!... ..."

Inside the room, Xie Lin's deliberate yet jealous noises could be heard.

When Huo Sanghua looked up at Xie Shu, she felt a little awkward. Xie Shu, hearing the commotion inside the room, also frowned.

Before the two could react, the person inside started gagging because of the loud coughing, "Hiccup—"

Hawthorne's face darkened.

He cursed inwardly, "Serves him right."

Upon hearing that sound, Xie Shu couldn't help but smile. "Since... you still have to take care of A-Lin, I'll head back first. You can just go there tomorrow morning."

"Thank you very much, young master." Huo Sanghua held the calligraphy scroll that the young master had given him, expressing his deep gratitude.

I watched Xie Shu leave.

After so many years of bad luck, it seems everything changed after I made a new choice...

However, her joy was short-lived; Xie Lin's half-dead movements echoed from inside the house. Rolling her eyes, she had no choice but to abandon her good mood and go back to check on Xie Lin's condition.

"If you keep coughing like this, you might really die."

"Sigh—" Xie Lin lay miserably on the bed, pretending to be aggrieved, "If I cough myself to death, so be it, what can I do? Who told me... ...when other people say something, people are willing to listen, but when I die of illness, no one cares."

Hawthorne gritted her teeth; the meaning couldn't be clearer.

But considering that he was injured while saving her, she felt a little guilty... "Okay, I'll take care of you, alright?"

"Can you take care of people?" Xie Lin suddenly rolled over, lying on his side, propping his head up as he looked at Huo Sanghua. "If you really can't take care of people, I won't force you. After all, you don't seem that meticulous. Why don't you stay and keep me company..."

You don't seem to be that observant, do you?

Hawthorne grew increasingly angry as he listened. What did he mean by that?!

Was she deliberately saying to her face that she wasn't as good at taking care of people as some others?

Thinking about it again...

Could these people be... ... "I'm not good at taking care of people. I wonder if the Second Young Master thinks... ... who is good at taking care of people? Why don't you tell me, Second Young Master, so I can learn from you?"

Xie Lin was completely unaware that this was a trap set for him by Huo Sanghua.

I even felt a little excited.

Wow, Hawthorne has finally figured it out?!

Suppressing his joy, he couldn't quite articulate how to take care of him in a way that would satisfy him... "Speaking of thoughtfulness... well, Miss Si, Si Qingyue! She's so thoughtful and intelligent... she knows how to care for people..."

Just do what she does.

But he didn't get a chance to say that last sentence.

Xie Lin just thought that if Huo Sanghua followed Si Qingyue's example and showed him affection in a delicate and boneless way... it wouldn't be bad at all!

As expected, it was Sister Si.

Suppressing her anger, Huo Sanghua knew that Xie Lin was referring to Sister Si. "Yes, Sister Si is indeed the best—considerate, gentle, and understanding... If she were your wife, you would surely be very satisfied. So why didn't you marry her back then?"

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Knowing that Xie Lin always felt that Sister Si was better, seeing him express it so unrestrainedly still made her furious.

No matter what, it's inappropriate to do this in front of her, the legal wife!

Xie Lin finally understood, but he wasn't quite sure yet.

So I tentatively asked, "Are you angry?"

"How dare you!" Huo Sanghua roared in anger. Had this man only just realized she was angry? "I'm not gentle, considerate, understanding, or caring to begin with, so how dare I be angry? How dare I... be angry with you!"

A pang of sadness welled up in my heart, and I finally understood what kind of woman Xie Lin truly liked.

really--

He just likes women like Sister Si.

Why did you agree to marry her in the first place? Wouldn't it have been better to just marry Sister Si?!

Seeing her flustered state, Xie Lin realized he had said the wrong thing, but he still couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

When asked to name a person, she imitated her.

But even after he said it, she was the one who got angry! "I... I didn't mean that."

Women are truly unpredictable.

Before the atmosphere could get any worse, Xie Lin listlessly changed the subject, "By the way, what did your older brother say to you when he called you out?"

Hawthorne got up, walked to the side, sat down, and it took him a while to suppress his anger and displeasure.

She didn't know what was wrong with her; it was just that when she heard Xie Lin praise Sister Si as even better, a sudden, inexplicable anger overwhelmed her reason, and she became very angry...

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what she was angry about.

Even after hearing Xie Lin's question, she had to suppress her displeasure for a long time.

"It's nothing. The young master said I can continue to attend classes in the study tomorrow."

He then relayed Xie Shu's exact words to Xie Lin.

She was still worried about Xie Lin's injuries, and felt that now that Lord Xie had returned, she shouldn't leave Xie Lin behind and go to the study to learn to read and write with the eldest young master.

Who would have thought that it was Lord Xie who brought it up with Xie Shu on his own initiative.

Now that she had received Lord Xie's order, she could freely enter and leave the study to study, read, and write!

Xie Lin no longer needs to follow us around.

That should make you feel more comfortable!

"You still have to take lessons with your older brother?!" Upon hearing this, Xie Lin disregarded his injuries and sat up abruptly from the bed.

The speed and agility of their movements left Hawthorne speechless. "You..."

Is he alright?

"Are you really going to take classes with your older brother?" Xie Lin thought about what he had seen today, and how his older brother's attitude and reaction when talking to Huo Sanghua were indeed unusual.

He felt somewhat unhappy and uneasy, which made him very reluctant to continue contacting the two of them in private.

"Of course." Huo Sanghua didn't think much of it. This was a rare opportunity for her; she could seriously learn something, and after leaving... she would have more skills, which couldn't be a bad thing. "Now that even Lord Xie has agreed, what reason do I have not to go?"

"Then you... you can... you can learn from me too."

Xie Lin's words sounded very unnatural.

After all, his knowledge was not as good as his elder brother's... Perhaps feeling guilty, he added, "Although my knowledge is not as good as my elder brother's, it is more than enough for someone like you. If you really want to learn, I can teach you."

The smile on Hawthorne's face vanished instantly.

I thought he was going to say something, but it turned out he was going to say her studies weren't good enough... "You're too confident! Even someone like you can teach me? Do you really think I'm that bad?"

Everyone knew of his dissolute reputation, which had spread throughout Shengjing.

How dare they say that...

It’s really infuriating.

Xie Lin wanted to slap himself. Why was it that the more hastily he spoke, the more easily his words were misunderstood?

“I’m not saying you’re bad. I… I just want to remind you that your older brother is, after all, your brother-in-law. Your relationship with him is different now, so it’s best to keep some distance.”
