Wang Xiaoxue lowered her head and remained silent, which made Lin Chaobei even more worried.
He leaned forward, took Wang Xiaoxue's hand, and half-squatted down to look up at her. Unexpectedly, he saw Wang Xiaoxue with her face covered in tears.
"Honey? What's wrong? Why are you crying? Don't you want to cook? You wouldn't have done it a long time ago! Don't cry, don't cry."
Lin Chaobei pulled Wang Xiaoxue into his arms and gently patted her back to comfort her, his voice so tender it was almost dripping with affection.
"Brother Chaobei, do you not like me anymore?"
She had been married into the Lin family for two or three months. Although she didn't see her mother-in-law often, and rarely saw her eldest brother-in-law, she could only see her third brother-in-law a few times a day. But she could clearly feel that there was nothing unpleasant about the Lin family. The family atmosphere was very good, and everyone was working hard to make the family better.
Unlike her maternal family, although her father inherited her grandfather's butchering skills, he was not a hardworking man. Her grandfather was the main person in charge of the family. Her mother was either arguing with Aunt Tofu or arguing with her father. There were very few quiet days at home.
Her family had a good reputation before, and her mother seemed to be a generous person who rarely had conflicts with her uncle and aunt and was always willing to help others. However, ever since she got together with Lin Chaobei, especially after she married into the Lin family, her mother completely changed.
She doesn't care about anything else, only about living comfortably. She's either going out to visit neighbors and chat, or showing off and arguing with people. It's as if her hardworking and capable mother from before was just a figment of her imagination.
This change was unexpected for her. Before, she would only come to see her parents occasionally by herself. Lin Chaobei rarely came with her because he and his family were too busy. She had only just started learning, so she wasn't very busy.
That's why she had time to go back to her parents' home and watch helplessly as her mother gradually changed into someone she didn't recognize.
Previously, Lin Chaobei had seen her mother showing off to the neighbors, but he had never seen her mother act like a shrew when arguing with someone.
Now, Lin Chaobei has finally seen it: will he still like her?
Wang Xiaoxue didn't know that she felt she wasn't good enough for Lin Chaobei, but she couldn't bear to part with Lin Chaobei or the Lin family, and she didn't want a divorce.
She knew perfectly well that if she divorced Lin Chaobei, given her mother's current temperament, she would definitely suffer the consequences.
"What nonsense are you thinking? Why did you suddenly think of this? I went through so much trouble to marry you, how could I not like you!"
At this point, Lin Chaobei couldn't help but blush.
This was the first time he had ever liked a girl. Although Wang Xiaoxue had asked him about it before and he had said he liked her, he still felt that those words were too cheesy, and he would blush every time he said them.
However, even though he was very shy, Lin Chaobei would still say it every time Wang Xiaoxue asked. How would she know how much he liked her if he didn't tell her?
"Brother Chaobei! You're so kind!"
Moved by what she heard, Wang Xiaoxue hugged Lin Chaobei tightly around the waist, her face pressed against his chest, tears streaming down her cheeks like broken beads, soaking the clothes on Lin Chaobei's chest.
Lin Chaobei held his wife tightly in his arms, his cheeks still flushed, but a bright and happy smile appeared on his face.
This is why he felt shy yet answered every question. Whether it was his initial shyness or his current eagerness to embrace her, Lin Chaobei found it all incredibly endearing.
He didn't know why his wife was crying, and it broke his heart!
If his wife doesn't want to talk about it, then he won't. He'll just have to coax her gently.
"That's right! I'm your husband, and you're my wife. If I'm not good to you, who else should I be good to? Come on, let's not cry anymore. What if your face gets chapped from crying in the middle of winter?"
Hearing Lin Chaobei say this, Wang Xiaoxue paused for a moment, then rubbed her face against Lin Chaobei's chest, wiping her tears and snot all over his clothes, before looking up at him and saying:
"Quick, look, is my face alright?"
What she cares about most right now is herself.
Her parents couldn't give her an advantage in her husband's family, but Lin Chaobei liked her, so she had to protect herself, her face, and her body, so that Lin Chaobei would always only like her.
When she first married into the Lin family, she thought she should be a good daughter-in-law and a dutiful mother-in-law, and also treat her husband Lin Chaobei well, so that she could give him a healthy son as soon as possible.
Later, she had the idea of managing the shop, and her mother-in-law, who was unwilling to get involved, was very supportive of her idea. At that time, she felt that her life had finally taken off, and she would become a well-known woman in the town.
However, her self-confidence gradually dissipated as her mother changed. Only when she was at the Lin family's house could she be confident and pursue her dreams.
When she was at her parents' home, she felt like a bedbug in a stinking ditch, and that being with Lin Chaobei was a defilement of him...
Even after Lin Chaobei discovered her mother's shameful nature, he still loved her as always, and she felt so happy that she couldn't bear to let go...
"It's alright, my wife is just as beautiful as a flower, as lovely as a jade, she's gorgeous!"
After saying that, he glanced at the door and, seeing that no one was outside, secretly gave Wang Xiaoxue a peck on her rosy cheek.
Wang Xiaoxue's face was already a little red from rubbing against Lin Chaobei's clothes, but now it turned bright red, even her neck was completely red, as if it were about to bleed.
"Ugh! How can you be so indecent!"
Wang Xiaoxue, forgetting all about being sentimental, jumped back in fright, nearly falling over. Even then, she furtively peeked outside to see if anyone was there, if anyone had noticed them…
"Don't worry, no one saw it, there's no one outside."
Lin Chaobei looked at Wang Xiaoxue, whose cheeks were flushed and looked particularly beautiful, as she was preoccupied with worrying about being discovered. She was no longer like before, who seemed to have suffered some terrible tragedy and looked so lost and distraught, which made his heart ache.
My wife is still the most beautiful now, so vibrant and lovely!
"No one can help us! We're outside!"
Wang Xiaoxue glanced around and, seeing no one outside, turned back and gave Lin Chaobei a flurry of playful punches, her voice sweet and coquettish.
"Okay, okay! I'll remember that from now on. I can't be outside, I can only stay at home."
Lin Chaobei made a promise following Wang Xiaoxue's lead, but the promise just didn't sound right.
"What nonsense are you spouting! You're being inappropriate!"
Wang Xiaoxue gave Lin Chaobei a charmingly glare, then forcefully pushed him out of the kitchen.
Lin Chaobei: (=_=)
Why throw it away after use?
