Chapter 221: Ghost King's Husband (6)
Su Miaoxuan originally made an appointment with her sisters to go to the night market to visit the lantern festival during the Ghost Festival, but she never expected that she would meet her cousin Su Chen, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Su Miaoxuan has complicated feelings about this cousin.
When Su Chen was young, he was more eye-catching than other children his age. Not only because of his handsome appearance, but also because he always received praise from his teachers in his studies, which made the Su family very proud. At that time, Su Miaoxuan admired Su Chen very much.
When he grew up, Su Chen was knowledgeable and handsome, and he could be said to be the dream man of many girls, and Su Miaoxuan was naturally the same.
When I think of my handsome and talented cousin, my heart starts beating fast.
Especially after Su Chen passed the examination and became a scholar, seeing that the sisters around him were trying their best to attract Su Chen's attention, Su Miaoxuan made up her mind that she must marry this outstanding cousin and become the envy of others.
Who knew that an accident would happen suddenly? When they were out, he was harassed by drunk men. In order to help him, his cousin was beaten up by the group of people and broke his leg.
Originally, Su Miaoxuan still felt a little guilty. After all, Su Chen suffered like this for her. At that time, she was thinking about repaying Su Chen well and treating him well after marriage.
But when she learned that Su Chen's leg was incurable, her mind changed. A lame man could not have a career in politics. Her cousin, who was once so high and mighty, was now a cripple who could not walk.
I am still in my prime, why should I marry a disabled man who has no chance of getting a high position and a good salary!
Su Miaoxuan was unwilling to do so, and eventually she even resented Su Chen, wondering why he hadn't just been beaten to death by those drunks. This would have saved her a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, this person had some self-awareness and did not come to bother her. But Su Miaoxuan still felt worried. She always felt that seeing Su Chen was a heartache, and she wished he would leave the Su family as soon as possible.
She was looking forward to it every day, and a few days ago, this cousin really disappeared suddenly.
Su Miaoxuan was a little happy, and asked her father and mother out of curiosity.
Her father told her that her cousin was disabled and they couldn't just abandon him and had to consider his future. So after much deliberation, they found a wealthy family and married Su Chen off to them, ensuring that he would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
Su Miaoxuan was delighted to hear the news. She didn't care how despised her status as a man's wife was. She just thought that this burden was finally gone.
Even though her father said that the family was good and wealthy, Su Miaoxuan didn't take it seriously at all.
She knew clearly that her parents had the same idea as hers, that they all wanted to get rid of Su Chen. They didn't care what kind of life he led after he arrived there.
She had originally thought that anyone who married a man would definitely not be from a respectable family. Even if her father said it was a wealthy family, she thought it was impossible. At most, he was just a local rich man. But who would have thought that her cousin was living so well now.
Damn it, why didn't my father go and mediate with such a rich family and let me marry into them?
Su Miaoxuan was filled with indignation when she heard her sister beside her continue, "Who is that young man next to your cousin? He's so handsome!"
After hearing this, Su Miaoxuan noticed Bai Su who turned around because he wanted to support Chen Tian.
Su Miaoxuan's eyes suddenly widened, and she felt that she had never seen such a handsome man in her life. He was as ethereal as an immortal, making her heart beat rapidly.
Who is this person?
Bai Su's clothes were not very revealing, but his aura was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess. Could it be that this man was the young master of the family that Su Chen married?
Thinking of this, Su Miaoxuan's eyes rolled, and she turned to her sister and said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back first, so they had to separate here.
After the little sister left with a look of loss on her face, she sneaked out from the corner and ran towards Bai Su.
Chen Tian naturally felt someone approaching. Seeing the girl rushing over with excitement, he raised his eyebrows and quickly recalled who the other person was.
After seeing the other party stop, he greeted him perfunctorily: "Cousin, long time no see."
After she finished speaking, she shyly turned towards Bai Su, bowed to him, and said shyly, "My name is Su Miaoxuan, Su Chen's cousin. Nice to meet you, sir."
As soon as Chen Tian saw Su Miaoxuan's posture, he knew what she was planning.
This was not the first time that his partner was coveted by someone, but this did not prevent Chen Tian from finding the shy and timid appearance of the woman opposite him annoying.
His little Bai is good in every way except that he attracts too much attention. There's nothing he can do about it, because his lover is too perfect. Isn't it normal for others to like him?
So the fault does not lie with Bai Su, but with those who fail to see the situation clearly and are self-righteous.
It seems that I have been too obsessed with the gentleness of life recently, and I almost forgot about Su Chengwang and his family. I didn't expect that I didn't have time to take action against them, but they took the initiative to run into the gun.
Chen Tian's anger was already ignited here. Bai Su on the other side glanced at Su Miaoxuan opposite him and naturally understood the other party's intentions.
Su Miaoxuan looked at him with a very explicit look, but in the past, many people had tried to hook up with him, and he had dealt with all those who overestimated their abilities. As for this woman, since she was Su Chen's cousin, Bai Su didn't plan to do anything, but he didn't bother to pay attention.
Su Miaoxuan, who was standing by, was not discouraged when he saw Bai Su ignored him. After all, the son of such a wealthy family must be a little arrogant.
She quickly changed her strategy and said to Chen Tian beside her, "Cousin, why don't you introduce me to who this young man is?"
When Chen Tian heard this, he almost laughed out of anger. Su Miaoxuan had a nice idea of asking him to introduce someone who coveted him!
So Chen Tian simply took Bai Su's hand in front of Su Miaoxuan and said happily, "Oh yes, I haven't introduced you to my cousin yet, this is my husband, Bai Su."
Bai Su raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He usually called her "Madam" all the time, but he didn't expect that when meeting a stranger, she finally remembered to call her "husband".
"What husband?"
Su Miaoxuan was stunned. She knew Su Chen was married, but she had never imagined that the man he married was so young and extraordinary. He was not the ugly old man she had imagined.
Why, why does all the good things fall to this damn cripple!
Su Miaoxuan was extremely jealous. Seeing that they seemed very close, she deliberately said, "I see. We grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. Over the years, my cousin has always taken good care of me. I always knew that you had feelings for me, but I didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on me and you would marry someone else now.
But now looking at this Mr. Bai, you are lucky, cousin, after all, your legs are now..."
At this point, Su Miaoxuan sighed deliberately: "Okay, let's not say such depressing words. Although a leg was broken, being able to marry a husband like this is a blessing that most girls don't have."
It was noticed that when Su Miaoxuan said that he had feelings for her, Bai Su's aura instantly turned cold.
Chen Tian's eyes twitched, thinking that this woman was indeed looking for trouble, but he certainly couldn't take the blame. Since she dared to set him up, Chen Tian naturally couldn't let Su Miaoxuan get away with it.
So he said righteously, "Cousin Miaoxuan, you're talking nonsense. Although we did grow up together, my feelings for you have always been just brother and sister. I've never had any romantic feelings for you, let alone marrying you.
Besides, I was able to marry my husband thanks to my uncle!
Although my uncle had clearly agreed with me that he would return the property left by my parents and we would split up the family business, he never did, but I still want to be grateful to him. After all, if it weren't for my uncle, I wouldn't have had this good marriage."
"Speaking of which, I've always had some suspicions. Perhaps it was my cousin that my uncle initially wanted to marry into the Bai Mansion. But since you're still so young, it's understandable that my uncle and aunt wouldn't want to let you go. That's why they asked me to marry in your place.
If that's the case, then the one I should be most grateful to is you, my cousin!"
"What? You said that father originally intended for me to marry him!"
When Su Miaoxuan heard these words, she completely ignored the word "guess" that Chen Tian had said before, and all she heard was that she could have married into the Bai family.
Originally, all those delicacies from land and sea, silks and satins, this handsome husband, and the luxurious life should belong to her.
But in the end, my cousin got the advantage!
Su Miaoxuan's eyes turned red with anger, and she looked at Bai Su beside her with even more covetousness in her eyes.
Bai Su couldn't listen any longer. He had already heard a few things in their conversation, and these tricks made him feel very uncomfortable. Moreover, he really didn't like the look of the woman beside him.
So, Bai Su simply put his arm around Chen Tian's waist and helped him into the carriage. Then, without even looking at Su Miaoxuan who had caught up with him and wanted to say something, he directly ordered Uncle Fu to drive the carriage and leave.
Only Su Miaoxuan was left with red eyes, staring at the back of the departing carriage. She waited until the shadow disappeared, then ran back home crying.
Chen Tian didn't care about the chaos in the Su family. After getting on the carriage, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank leisurely.
Of course, what he said just now was not just to anger Su Miaoxuan. He also deliberately wanted to attract Bai Su's attention to some of the information in the conversation.
Bai Su looked at Chen Tian, who was drinking tea calmly across from him, and suddenly sat down next to him. He then took Chen Tian's teacup away, pinched his chin, and made him look directly into his eyes.
"Childhood sweethearts, two innocent friends, and secretly in love? Even going to the Bai Mansion was to marry for her?"
Bai Su's tone was filled with danger, but it made Chen Tian inexplicably excited. But before he could explain anything, Bai Su suddenly kissed him, blocking his mouth.
Obviously, such a strong Bai Su was extremely attractive to Chen Tian. So he couldn't hold back at all, and took the initiative, hugging the person tightly and responding desperately.
Chen Tian: Happiness comes too suddenly!
The author has something to say:
Bai Su: Something seems to be wrong...
