Chapter 1562 Shared Wife 36
Jiang Yuanqing's eyes were filled with the cold light of a sharp sword blade, and a chilling aura accompanied by a disdainful scrutiny emanated from the depths of his being.
Such a nonchalant attitude made Jiang Yuanxiu tighten his grip on the dagger handle, and he said in a hard voice, "Brother, don't forget, you can threaten Miss Li with your life, and I can threaten you in return!"
Jiang Yuanqing looked at him as if he were a child who did not know any better, and patiently guided him, "Yuanxiu, this is not how you threaten people."
Jiang Yuanxiu was slightly taken aback, and the next second, he saw that Jiang Yuanqing had a dagger in his hand.
He pinched the back of the knife between his fingers, held the hilt, adorned with dazzling gems, under his nose, and gently sniffed it.
A rare look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Jiang Yuanxiu sensed something was wrong: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Yuanqing remained silent, gripping the hilt of his knife, the tip lingering against his chest. He curled his lips into a smile and said, "You wouldn't be willing to part with Miss Li."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Yuanxiu felt a sharp pain in his left chest. His gaze fell upon Jiang Yuanqing's dagger piercing his body.
He was stunned for several seconds, then subconsciously asked, "Are you really willing to do that?!"
Jiang Yuanqing drew his dagger without changing his expression, letting his white clothes be stained red. He licked the blood from the blade and put it in his mouth, the metallic taste filling his nostrils. He smiled faintly and said, "Trying to threaten me?"
"Let them all die so that others can benefit from it."
Now it was Jiang Yuanxiu's turn to panic. He quickly put away his dagger and asked, "Brother, why did you do this?"
My elder brother is indeed a great elder brother; he was never threatened until his death.
But he couldn't bear to die.
Jiang Yuanqing slightly raised his eyelids and said gently, "Yuanxiu, everything I have done is to make Miss Li our wife."
Jiang Yuanxiu frowned. "But you can't scare her."
Jiang Yuanqing sighed and said helplessly, "In this world, few women can accept two husbands at the same time."
"Can you accept that Miss Li only wants me?"
Without a second thought, Jiang Yuanxiu replied, "On what grounds?"
"The betrothal we were made when we were still babies was between the two of us."
"If Miss Li only takes one, wouldn't that mean she's only taking half her life?"
Just thinking about it made Jiang Yuanxiu extremely dissatisfied and feel wronged.
Jiang Yuanqing raised an eyebrow. "So, don't threaten me with your life again next time."
"We should unite as one; there are other excellent men in the world besides us."
"If the outcome of the internal strife is that one side gains Miss Li's favor, that's fine. But the real fear is that she'll turn around and fall for someone else, leaving none of us with a chance."
Jiang Yuanxiu suddenly realized that he hadn't thought of this!
That was close.
My elder brother is the most thoughtful.
He pursed his lips, still dissatisfied, and said, "But you shouldn't have made Miss Li feel wronged."
Ignoring his wounds, Jiang Yuanqing got up and walked to Jiang Yuanxiu, saying sincerely, "Brother, this is my first time too. I'll be more careful next time. You'll forgive me, right?"
Jiang Yuanxiu became wary. From childhood to adulthood, whenever his elder brother adopted a soft attitude, nothing good ever came of it.
He took a half step back: "What are you trying to do now?"
Jiang Yuanqing didn't care about his attitude at all. "I just hope everything goes smoothly on our wedding day."
Jiang Yuanxiu looked him over with some skepticism, then thought for a moment and asked, "Do you like Miss Li?"
Jiang Yuanqing turned his back, the flickering candlelight reflecting on his jade-like handsome face. Instead of answering, he asked, "Does it matter?"
"Commitment is more important than commitment."
Jiang Yuanxiu suddenly understood everything; no wonder his brother showed no tenderness towards Miss Li.
Everything the other party did was to fulfill the marriage agreement!
