Chapter 10: She Understood the Sexy Side of a Rough Man
Liu Nian took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped his face. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Dirty." Su Xu turned his head away and dodged.
"Don't move!" Liu Nianqiao pretended to be angry, grabbed Su Xu's hand, and glared at him coquettishly, "I don't mind that you're dirty."
Su Xu didn't dare to move an inch, staring blankly at the petite woman before him. She smiled, like a delicate flower, and a faint fragrance wafted from her—he couldn't quite place it, but it only made his mind more unsettled, preventing him from calming down.
"I just finished working and I'm covered in sweat. I'm afraid the smell will bother you." Su Xu snatched the handkerchief from Liu Nian's hand. "I can do it myself."
He clumsily wiped his face a few times, then quickly folded the handkerchief and presented it to Liu Nian with both hands.
Liu Nian simply picked it up and stuffed it into his pocket, saying, "Keep it for yourself."
His clothes, still warm from his body heat, were damp and comforting. Liu Nian quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been burned.
Su Xu was slightly out of breath from running so fast. His strong chest rose and fell, and beads of sweat rolled down his neck, disappearing into the cleavage of his chest. The strong masculine hormones emanating from him made Liu Nian blush.
For some reason, Liu Nian suddenly thought of the word "sexy," the sexiness of a rough man.
She lowered her head shyly.
"Has something happened?" Su Xu glanced nervously into the distance, then looked down at Liu Nian. "I heard something happened here, and someone saw you there..."
"Are you worried about me?" Liu Nian suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling.
Her eyes were like stars in the sky, shining brightly.
Su Xu was stunned, nodded heavily, and looking into those bright eyes, he felt his mouth go dry and couldn't help but lick his lips.
"I'm fine," Liu Nian said. "But something happened to your family. Your brother is getting married."
Su Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright."
He didn't care about other people's affairs; he only wanted his woman to be protected from being bullied.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you home,” Su Xu said.
Liu Nian hummed in agreement, secretly glancing at the man's profile.
His jawline was sharply defined, his nose was high and straight, and when he wasn't smiling, he seemed cold and unapproachable. Even Liu Nian from her previous life thought so, but after getting to know him, she realized what a thoughtful and warm person Su Xu was.
Will I be happy marrying Su Xu in this lifetime?
As soon as she got home, Liu Nian rushed to check the comments on her live stream. She planned to stream 24/7 to earn more money. The live stream system would automatically block inappropriate footage, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Liu Xiangxiang and Su Hang have been together for a long time, haven't they? They plotted against our Niannian. Good job, Niannian! Let her taste what it means to be in unbearable pain. She'll suffer for it from now on!"
"Am I the only one who thinks that Su Xu's gaze towards Niannian is both shy and passionate, as if he wants to devour her?"
"My husband thinks his own mother is the most important person in the world! Unlike Su Xu, whose mother is fighting and his brother is being insulted, Su Xu only has eyes for Nian Nian and his love. He's so great! I can't stand mama's boys who are obsessed with love!"
"I can't handle a mama's boy with a love-obsessed brain!"
...
Liu Nian almost died laughing. It turned out Su Xu wasn't a mama's boy in a relationship after all. She glanced at the money in her account and went to sleep contentedly.
These past few days, Liu Hua has been anxiously making a wedding quilt for Liu Nian. She invited the elderly women in the village who have both sons and daughters and whose parents are still alive to her home, and presented them with melon seeds, candies, tea, and snacks. The group of women chatted happily while sewing the quilt.
"Have you heard?" Aunt Zhang looked up and glanced at everyone. "Chen Juan gave Xiangxiang a good beating when she got home yesterday."
She lives next door to Liu Xiangxiang. Last night, Shen Juan cried and screamed, while Liu Xiangxiang kept begging for mercy after being beaten. It was terrifying to listen to.
"Xiangxiang too, what foolish thing she did. Shen Juan wanted to use her to exchange for her brother's betrothal money, but now it's all gone. How can she swallow this?"
"I reckon the two Su brothers are going to have a wedding together."
"What? Holding banquets on the same day? That's something only the Su family could pull off. Using one set of gifts to marry two wives and collect two sets of wedding gifts, they really know how to scheme."
Everyone present looked down on the Su family's behavior and felt sorry for Liu Nian.
Liu Nian disagreed, nodding and saying, "It seems Xiangxiang will be my sister-in-law from now on."
“Nian’er, we elders all know what kind of temperament you have. We’re just worried that you’ll suffer from your husband’s family and your sisters-in-law in the future.” Aunt Zhang pulled the blanket up and sighed.
This was something Liu Hua had been worried about. She lowered her head, remained silent, and turned to walk towards the side room. After thinking it over, she decided to find a carpenter to make another set of cabinets for Liu Nian. It would look impressive in their home, and having more things from her family would give her more confidence.
Liu Nian quickly chased after her, calling out, "Mom!"
"Oh dear, this wind is really strong, it hurts my eyes." Liu Hua wiped her eyes and pushed Liu Nian, "It's windy, you should go inside."
"Mom, don't worry about me." Liu Nian gently hugged Liu Hua and snuggled into her arms, acting coquettishly. "I will definitely make our life good from now on, and then you can enjoy a life of happiness."
Liu Hua grinned and said, "Alright, I'll be waiting for my daughter to treat me to a good meal!"
I originally thought the two brothers would have their wedding together, but I don't know if Su Hang and Liu Xiangxiang were deliberately trying to disgust people, but they even planned to get their marriage certificate on the same day as Liu Nian and the others.
The four people stood at the entrance of the village waiting to catch a ride to the county's marriage registration office.
Liu Xiangxiang glanced at Liu Nian.
Hmph, no matter what, she married someone who loves her! And they'd already done it before, Su Hang is definitely a man! But Liu Nian is different. Rumor has it that Su Xu isn't good in that area.
Liu Xiangxiang tilted her head back, grabbed Su Hang's arm, and strutted around proudly, as if she were deliberately showing off her affection.
Let's see how she annoys Liu Nian!
