Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 71: You Are a Very Good Person (1)

Wrong, wrong, everything is wrong!

We had only agreed on a superficial marriage. Why did it change?

Fang Yusheng was still holding Qiao Jiusheng’s face in his palm. Qiao Jiusheng ignored the numb feeling on her lips and slowly said, “But we agreed that we would be husband and wife only in name.”

“Did I say that?” Fang Yusheng asked.

Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.

On careful thought, she realized that from the moment she got close to Fang Yusheng to when they received their marriage certificate, he had never made such a promise to her.

Cooperating as husband and wife without any actual feelings was only Qiao Jiusheng’s unilateral definition of this marriage.

As she thought about it, she heard Fang Yusheng continue, “Do you still remember what you said? You said that as long as I marry you, you will keep your chastity for me. I’m only responsible for ensuring that you don’t die. I never said that our marriage is only in name.”

Unable to know Qiao Jiusheng’s reaction, Fang Yusheng continued, “It’s up to me whether this marriage is real or fake.”

Qiao Jiusheng remained silent for a long time.

Fang Yusheng thought that she was angry, but he then heard her ask, “Can you not hold my face while talking to me?”

Stunned, Fang Yusheng obediently let go.

Just as he put down his hand, he heard Qiao Jiusheng calmly say, “You’re right.” She paused and sincerely continued, “I was reckless and had provoked you from the start. You’re being kind enough to protect me.”

Qiao Jiusheng picked up one of his hands and placed it on her shoulder. She said, “I’m right here. You can do whatever you want to me.

“We are husband and wife.”

As they were husband and wife, Fang Yusheng could do to her as it happened between all other couples.

He wanted to do all the intimate things to her, not just the ones between “husband and wife,” but between lovers as well.

She doesn’t love me.

She doesn’t love me. That’s why she said those words in such an indifferent tone.

Fang Yusheng felt terrible.

His hand that was on her shoulder gently drooped.

Fang Yusheng turned around and said, “Suzanne will be here tomorrow night. Don’t go out.” When he reached the door, he said, “I’ll be going out for a long trip tomorrow.” He stood by the door and waited. When he did not hear any questions from Qiao Jiusheng, he pursed his lips and walked out.

As Qiao Jiusheng stood behind him, she could not see his face. However, she could feel the sadness coming from him. She was a little lost. What is he feeling terrible about?

Qiao Jiusheng walked out of the meditation room and did not see Fang Yusheng anymore.

When Aunt Jin saw her come out, she walked over and reminded Qiao Jiusheng. “Madam, you haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ve warmed up the dishes. Why don’t you go eat something?”

Qiao Jiusheng swept her gaze across the dining room and looked at the food on the table. Both meat and vegetables were on the table, and the nutrition was evenly distributed. Qiao Jiusheng was hungry, but she did not feel any appetite.

“I’m not hungry. Aunt Jin, please keep the food.” With that, Qiao Jiusheng turned around and was about to go upstairs. After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at Aunt Jin.

Coincidentally, Aunt Jin also looked at Qiao Jiusheng with a complicated expression.

Aunt Jin felt uncomfortable when she thought about the rumors circulating in the main house. She had heard them when she went out to buy things this afternoon. Although Young Master Yusheng could not see, he was more than enough to match up to Qi Yunsheng, who was decently good-looking but had an unknown family background or origin.

Aunt Jin had watched Fang Yusheng grow up. She could not bear to see Qi Yunsheng treat Young Master Yusheng badly.

Qiao Jiusheng frowned and asked her, “Aunt Jin, do you know why Yusheng is in a bad mood today?”

When Aunt JIn saw that Qi Yunsheng was still concerned about Fang Yusheng, her heart relaxed a little.

Perhaps, those rumors were fake.

She forced a smile and said, “He must’ve heard something unpleasant that affected his mood.”

Qiao Jiusheng hurriedly asked, “What words?”

“Does Madam really want to know?” Aunt Jin’s tone became a little unhappy.

Seeing her attitude, Qiao Jiusheng became even more determined to know. “Tell me, I’ll listen.”

Aunt Jin was originally complaining in her heart. When she heard these words, she immediately spilled all the beans. “Today, the main house is spreading rumors that someone saw you pulling and laughing with a young man on the streets this afternoon. Your actions were intimate…”

“Aunt Jin.”

Suddenly, Fang Yusheng’s voice, which sounded like a warning, rang behind Qiao Jiusheng.
