Chapter 1187: Brother-in-law, I Heard You Won't Live Past 30

Qin Xiaoshuang gazed into Nalan Ye Jue’s eyes.

Though his brother-in-law treated him gently and thoughtfully, his presence was actually very powerful and cold.

At this moment, looking into his brother-in-law’s eyes, he felt a great pressure.

But he still tried his best to finish speaking: “My mother said that men in the Nalan Family have a hereditary illness and don’t live past the age of 30… so, so…”

He wondered how he could ask the questions he wanted to know without hurting Nalan Ye Jue’s pride.

Unexpectedly.

Nalan Ye Jue was very composed, slightly curled his lips, and even chuckled a bit, completing the difficult part of the sentence for him: “So, you’re worried your sister will become a widow when I’m 30? Want to know how I plan to arrange my matters and take care of your sister for the rest of her life?”

Qin Xiaoshuang’s face looked a bit uncomfortable; he lowered his head, then raised it again:

“I’m sorry, brother-in-law, I really am. Whenever I think of my mother’s last words, I feel so sad. Actually, my mother told us this not to speak ill of you; she just said she hopes I will try a bit harder, be a bit stronger, so if you… in case… I’ll be able to uphold the Qin Family and take care of my sister.”

“Brother-in-law, I will definitely do that! But… but I know, brother-in-law, your position in my sister’s heart is irreplaceable. I can take care of her life, but it’s hard to replace your feelings for her.”

“That’s why I’m afraid that when the time comes, my sister will be heartbroken…”

So it’s not the pressure of supporting the family he fears, but the fear that his sister will be too heartbroken to recover.

What an honest, silly child.

Nalan Ye Jue sighed a little in his heart.

Is his place in his wife’s heart truly irreplaceable?

If he dies, would his wife be devastated?

He served Qin Xiaoshuang a bowl of sea cucumber soup, slowly saying, “Xiaoshuang, have you ever thought about how, if the men of the Nalan Family don’t live past 30, my father has lived till now?”

Qin Xiaoshuang was taken aback.

He scratched his head senselessly: “Oh yes…”

He was so busy worrying, he hadn’t thought about that.

Nalan Ye Jue continued, “That’s right, our Nalan Family indeed has a hereditary illness. At the age of 30, the disease becomes extraordinarily fierce, but it’s not entirely impossible to get through it. My father could do it back then, so when it comes to me, I can do it too.”

His father, to protect his mother, was shot through the eyes by black iron arrows and became blind, yet unexpectedly survived and overcame the 30-year curse threshold.

In his generation, what kind of test will he face?

If it’s for his wife, what’s losing another pair of eyes?

He could even do without his legs, and without his life; he cannot believe he couldn’t overcome the curse of fate.

Qin Xiaoshuang was moved by Nalan Ye Jue’s resolute and determined attitude: “Brother-in-law, since you have plans in mind, I can rest easy. I wish you and my sister a long-lasting, happy life together… um, have more nieces and nephews, I can help you take care of the kids; it definitely won’t affect your life quality…”

Nalan Ye Jue slightly curled his lips: “Come, let’s use soup instead of wine, let’s drink this bowl.”

No wonder he is his closest brother-in-law; every word hits exactly with his wishes.

Nalan Ye Jue and Qin Xiaoshuang had already drunk two bowls of soup, but Qin Xin’s figure still hadn’t arrived.

Although he continued to talk and laugh with Xiaoshuang on the surface, he already felt a vague concern in his heart.

He sent a message to Lu Bing: “Has the madam returned home?”
