He realized he had lost his composure.
Xie Muqing quickly composed herself and loosened her tightly pursed lips.
“I’m not the only direct descendant of the Xie family. Xie Fu and Xie Ya are also direct descendants. I suggested to my mother that they also take in husbands to carry on the Xie family line. Don’t worry, my mother accepted my suggestion and she won’t blame you. My mother isn’t an unreasonable person. Even if she were to blame someone, she would only blame the person who forced me to take in a husband. You saved my life, how could she possibly blame a savior? Besides, you are also a victim. You could have found an excellent and healthy husband, but unfortunately, you were dragged down by me and are now entangled with a half-crippled person like me.”
As he finished speaking, his voice gradually became barely audible.
Its once round and noble head now seemed to be drooping almost to the ground.
The forlorn voice reached Lin Yan's ears, making her heart clench.
When I read the original novel before.
She had always fantasized about how unrestrained and arrogant Xie Muqing, the handsome playboy from the capital, must be.
But now, because he has experienced major changes, he has become extremely sensitive, insecure, and lacks a sense of security.
"Your leg will be fine, don't worry, it won't affect your walking or martial arts practice. Don't feel like you're a burden to me either. I've never seen a man as handsome as you before, you couldn't find one even with a lantern. And haven't you noticed how happy my father is?"
Xie Muqing seemed to have been comforted by Lin Yan.
He raised his head, which had been hanging low, and slowly looked at her with his red-rimmed eyes.
A moment later, he bit his lip and looked away.
A blush spread across her cheeks.
He thanked her softly, seemingly embarrassed.
"I'm glad my wife doesn't see me as a burden."
Upon suddenly hearing the word "wife," Lin Yan almost choked on her own saliva!
I got goosebumps all over my body.
She stared wide-eyed at the handsome young man on the kang (a heated brick bed), completely bewildered.
She was convinced that Xie Muqing must have been haunted!
I even wanted to kill her a few days ago.
But today they suddenly acted so intimately.
There's definitely something wrong!
She wanted to correct his way of addressing her.
But seeing his pitiful appearance, she swallowed the refusal that was about to come out.
"Huh?! Oh, oh, not cumbersome at all."
"Handsome brother, will you want to be our family?"
A child's innocent voice broke the awkward and ambiguous atmosphere in the room.
Lin Yu lay on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), tilting her little head up to look at Xie Muqing, who was leaning against the edge of the kang.
Lin Muyan is a few years older than her.
I only have a superficial understanding of many things.
To show off his extensive knowledge to his sister, he shook his head like a scholar.
Correcting her in a serious tone:
"Little sister, he's not brother, we have to call him brother-in-law. He's the eldest sister's husband, and he'll have a baby with the eldest sister for us to play with."
"Cough cough cough..."
This time, Lin Yan was genuinely choked by her younger brother's unintentional words, coughing uncontrollably!
She casually picked up a teacup from the small table.
She didn't notice that as her lips approached the teacup, Xie Muqing's eyes darkened.
He awkwardly shifted his gaze.
A touch of red silently crept up onto his ears.
That was the teacup he had just drunk from...
Lin Yan finally stopped coughing after drinking a full glass of water.
She pretended to be angry, and with a stern face, she began to lecture her younger brother:
"Don't talk nonsense, little brother. Where did you hear all this rubbish?"
"But, eldest sister, when we went to Grandma's house for the wedding last time, all the adults said that about my cousin and his wife."
Lin Yan slowly put down her cup.
That's when I remembered that Lin Muyan has a very good memory.
He could remember what others said after only one time, which strengthened our resolve to send him to school.
"Daughter, your son-in-law is ready to eat!"
Knowing that Xie Muqing had difficulty walking, Lin Zhenghong and Ye Lan directly divided the food in two and brought over one portion.
Lin Yan took the opportunity to tidy up the things on the kang (a heated brick bed) and moved the small table over to place it in the middle of the kang.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mom and Dad."
"It's no trouble at all, son-in-law, don't be shy, eat more, we can afford to take care of you!"
Mr. and Mrs. Lin were very pleased with Xie Muqing's change of address.
They had heard from their daughter that her son-in-law's leg injury was temporary and would get better in the future.
Having lived for over thirty years, this was the first time they had ever seen such a handsome young man!
Even when my daughter was mentally challenged, matchmakers would come to our door.
They were all matchmakers for those ugly, widowed men or men who couldn't afford to find a wife.
The point is that the daughter should marry someone who can have children.
They were so angry that they chased away one matchmaker after another.
Now my daughter has "married" a very handsome husband.
Moreover, the marriage was arranged by the county magistrate.
They really wanted to see what kind of ridiculous expressions those gossipy people who used to say their daughters could only marry idiots would have when they met their son-in-law!
Dinner was very plentiful.
A bowl of mouthwatering twice-cooked pork, a bowl of pork trotter and soybean soup, and a plate of stir-fried Chinese cabbage.
Xie Muqing hadn't had such a sumptuous meal in a long time.
He had almost forgotten what the fragrant white rice tasted like.
Xie Muqing ate very slowly during this meal.
He chewed slowly and deliberately, as if he were not eating, but enjoying himself.
Before he knew it, he had finished two bowls of white rice.
He ate most of the dishes on the table.
Only after the bowl and chopsticks were put down did he realize that he seemed to have eaten too much.
He glanced awkwardly at the person opposite him, then silently lowered his eyelids.
