Bai Nuo was stunned on the spot, never expecting her brother-in-law to say such a thing when they were meeting for the first time. Wasn't this too abrupt? These two had only just met, and this guy was acting far too intimately! Although he was her brother-in-law, it was only because of Hu Mingmei that they had this relationship. In essence, she and this guy were still strangers!
In that brief moment of distraction, Hu Yikang had already reached Bai Nuo, and even dragged over a stool as if they were old friends, sitting down next to Bai Nuo with their knees touching.
Bai Nuo frowned in disgust.
She'd made it so obvious, but this fool, lost in thought, didn't notice at all. He remained seated, motionless, as if his bottom was glued to the stool. He stared intently at the clothes in Bai Nuo's hands. "Sister-in-law, are you making clothes for Second Brother?"
Bai Nuo nodded.
"Second Brother is so lucky!" Hu Yikang clicked his tongue in admiration, looking enviously at the clothes in Bai Nuo's hands. "I have a favor to ask, and I hope my sister-in-law will grant it!"
Bai Nuo's gaze finally shifted from the clothes to him, her eyes filled with confusion!
"Those eyes are so beautiful!" Hu Yikang exclaimed sincerely when Bai Nuo looked at him. These were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. Her eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of mist, making her look pitiful and filling him with an urge to protect her.
Although Bai Nuo wasn't the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, her skin was as white as milk, and he firmly believed it would be as smooth as milk, making people want to touch it. Fair skin covers a hundred flaws, and besides, Bai Nuo was also a bright and beautiful woman. The more Hu Yikang looked at Bai Nuo, the more pleasing and attractive she became.
What incredible luck did that sickly Hu Mingmei have to find such a village girl as his wife? Are all village girls as beautiful as her these days?
"Aren't there embroiderers in this mansion?" Bai Nuo's voice was light and crisp, sounding like heavenly music to Hu Yikang's ears. Hu Yikang said, "Although there are embroiderers in the mansion, they are still servants. How can they be as attentive as my sister-in-law?"
"But I need to make clothes for my husband!" Bai Nuo said, looking very troubled.
Hearing this, he thought, "There's hope! This young lady didn't refuse me!" Hu Yikang was overjoyed. He stepped in front of Bai Nuo and took the wireframe that Bai Nuo had placed on the other side.
Bai Nuo smelled a odor on him and really felt like vomiting.
What kind of smell is this? It's like body odor but not quite, it smells like fish, and it also smells a bit like body odor. How could someone smell like dead fish or rotten shrimp?
Hu Yikang seized this opportunity to take advantage of Bai Nuo, but he didn't want to be too obvious, so he quickly took the sewing kit to his side and patted Bai Nuo's hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll help you! It'll be done in no time!"
Bai Nuo nodded.
"Then I'll do my best!"
Wearing the clothes she made must be very comfortable. If that sickly Hu Mingmei knew, he might be furious. This young lady is really naive; she dared to marry into the family without knowing anything.
After saying that, Bai Nuo fell silent, quietly working on the clothes in her hands. Hu Yikang stared at her, his mouth dry, but in order to win Bai Nuo's heart, he still tried his best to concentrate and help Bai Nuo with the needle and thread.
"Sister-in-law, how is my second brother's health lately? Is he still having frequent relapses?" Finally, Hu Yikang couldn't help but make conversation with Bai Nuo.
"Yes!" Bai Nuo's face fell when Hu Mingmei's illness was mentioned. "Tell me, what's wrong with my husband's illness? Why hasn't it gotten better after so long of treatment?"
Hu Yikang didn't take it seriously, and even had a smile on his face. "Second brother's health has always been like this. Sister-in-law, you should take it easy. At most, second brother won't die, but he's beyond saving!"
"What?" Bai Nuo was startled, and the needle and thread almost pricked her finger.
Seeing the beauty's discomposure, Hu Yikang felt very reluctant. He patted Bai Nuo's hand, found it very nice to touch, and couldn't help but caress it.
Unexpectedly, Bai Nuo shouted, "Don't spray me!" and then pulled her hand back abruptly.
Hu Yikang felt a pang of regret at losing the beauty's hand, but since Bai Nuo had already made things clear, he stopped pretending and being polite. He grabbed Bai Nuo's hand and said urgently, "Young lady, why waste your life on a sickly man? Why don't you come with me? I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury!"
Even if she doesn't follow you, Hu Mingmei still feeds her well and gives her two taels of silver a month for living expenses. She has to hand over any extra copper coin she has.
That slut, her words are frivolous and her behavior is so disgusting!
Bai Nuo sent a WeChat message, and just when Hu Yikang thought Bai Nuo was willing and he would smile too, he heard Bai Nuo say, "But I'm not willing! I only like a sickly guy! Go to hell!"
Then, Hu Yikang felt a kick to a certain part of his body, and a heart-wrenching pain spread throughout his body. He immediately rolled over and fell to the ground.
"Go to hell!" Before Hu Yikang could even cry out in pain, he saw a white blanket fall over him and cover him. He heard Bai Nuo coldly say "go to hell" before she smashed him down with a stool.
The reason Hu Yikang knew it was a stool even under the covers was because the feeling of being kicked was different from being hit with a stool.
