Chapter 32 What if It’s Your Wife?

“Here, this is a White Rabbit milk candy, have a taste?” She grabbed a few pieces of candy, directly took Xie Yu’s hand, placed the candies into it, and then closed his hand. She smiled sweetly and withdrew her hand, feeling her supernatural power growing a bit faster, but soon it stabilized. Chang Suisui squinted slightly, it seemed her power recovery was indeed related to Xie Yu, but whether it was due to physical contact needed further verification. However… as for Xie Yu himself, she had now made up her mind! Her gaze towards Xie Yu became burning hot.

Xie Yu, originally startled by Chang Suisui’s touch—his heart almost skipped a beat—now felt uneasy under her intense stare. He cleared his throat and pretended to be serious while peeling the candy wrapper, “Did you go to town today? Did you see anything interesting?”

Thinking of what Qian Weimin had mentioned earlier, Xie Yu casually asked.

Chang Suisui was momentarily stunned, then as if suddenly recalling something, said, “Actually, there was something quite interesting.”

She proceeded to tell Xie Yu in detail about how she and Qian Weimin had been gossiped about at the supply and marketing cooperative. At the end, she couldn’t help but complain, “I don’t even know what background that girl Xie Xiaohua has. When she left the cooperative, she said she’d make me regret it. Seems like she’s got powerful connections and probably got her job back through them.”

Xie Yu: “…” He didn’t know how to respond. If he remembered correctly, the Xie Xiaohua from the cooperative was actually the second daughter of his eldest brother’s family… He recalled that she had married into the city, and her husband’s family looked down on her rural background. So, his eldest brother had asked him to help find her a job in the city. That was the first time his eldest brother asked for his help. Since the cooperative was hiring and Xie Xiaohua was a military family dependent, she got the job. If Chang Suisui hadn’t mentioned it, he would have completely forgotten.

He awkwardly squeezed the candy wrapper and lowered his voice, “She won’t be going back to the cooperative.”

“Huh?” Chang Suisui blinked, “How do you know that…?”

As she said this, her gaze unconsciously fell on Xie Yu. Seeing his awkward expression, she instantly realized something.

She opened her mouth slightly, “That… you don’t know Xie Xiaohua personally, do you?”

Xie Yu didn’t hide anything, gently nodding, “Yeah, she’s my eldest brother’s child, second in birth order, Xie Jianguo’s younger sister, and Xie Liye’s older sister.”

“…” Damn, among the three kids in the village chief’s family, only the youngest is decent. Xie Jianguo and Xie Xiaohua are… well, complicated!

After a brief awkward silence indoors, Xie Yu took the initiative to break the tension, “You didn’t do anything wrong. Her poor service attitude and being fired was her own problem.”

Chang Suisui looked at Xie Yu in surprise, “You’re not angry?”

“What’s there to be angry about?” Xie Yu couldn’t help but chuckle, “I help those who are right, not those who are related.”

As he said this, half of the candy wrapper in his hand was already peeled off.

Chang Suisui smiled sweetly and leaned closer, almost whispering, “What if it were your wife?”

Xie Yu’s eyelids immediately dropped, not daring to look at her, but obediently replied, “If it were my wife, then she wouldn’t be wrong. And if there were any problems, it would definitely be because I didn’t handle it well.”

“Pfft—” Chang Suisui couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing, “I never expected Comrade Xie, you’re actually a wife slave?”

Xie Yu looked at her confused, murmuring, “Wife slave?”

Chang Suisui nodded repeatedly, “Yeah, it’s a term for men who dote on their wives, very popular in the dating market!”

“Then… do you like that too?”

Xie Yu’s dark eyes flickered, but the words he wanted to say never came out.

“Comrade Xie, I want candy too, give me one?” Chang Suisui said while opening her acupuncture kit she always carried.

Xie Yu didn’t do what he wanted, instead handed over the half-unwrapped candy.

But Chang Suisui didn’t take it with her hand; she caught it with her mouth.

Even more shocking to him… he seemed to have touched her lips.

Soft… just like the first time he tasted it.

Xie Yu’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, and he turned his head, not daring to look at Chang Suisui anymore.

But the soft touch on his fingertip seemed to be imprinted on his heart, impossible to forget.

Chang Suisui felt her power recovery accelerating, and a slight smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

She was now very sure she was on the right track!

As long as she had close contact with Xie Yu, her supernatural power would recover faster.

No wonder when she first came over, she couldn’t use her powers. After sleeping with Xie Yu once, she could.

With a definite way to recover her powers, she no longer held back her power while giving Xie Yu acupuncture treatment.

Every needle she inserted was carefully reinforced with her power to repair the injured nerves in his leg.

But since her power reserves were limited, the effect wasn’t very obvious.

However, with him as a power source, speeding it up was easy.

Her face brightened with excitement, almost wanting to hug Xie Yu’s handsome face and plant a few kisses.

Such a good power charger couldn’t be let go.

Xie Yu’s gaze often fell on her rosy face, and seeing her smile, his lips also lifted a bit.

So this delicate educated youth really liked sweets. Looks like he needed to stock up on more treats for her in the future.

By the time Chang Suisui finished removing the needles and left, it was already late.

Xie Yu just watched her leave when he heard rustling footsteps in the courtyard.

Judging by the steps, he knew Qian Weimin had come.

“Brother Xie! Emergency!” Qian Weimin rushed to Xie Yu’s bedside as soon as he entered.

His brows furrowed slightly, “Slow down and tell me what’s going on.”

He recalled Qian Weimin had just reported to the village chief’s house. Now rushing over like this—did something happen to the village chief?

Still confused, Xie Yu listened as Qian Weimin spoke first.

“Brother Xie, the village chief wants Xie Jianguo to marry Chang Zhixing! And it seems Xie Jianguo has agreed!”

Qian Weimin said this anxiously, like an ant on a hot pan.

Xie Yu was stunned, “Why does my eldest brother want Xie Jianguo to marry Chang Zhixing? His fiancée is supposed to be Chang Meili.”

Qian Weimin sighed repeatedly, “It’s because the Chang family sent a letter saying they want to switch brides, to have Chang Zhixing marry Xie Jianguo. The village chief plans to talk to Chang Zhixing about this in person!”

That Xie Jianguo, who had been sweet with his fiancée and stayed loyal even when Chang Meili lived in a cowshed, suddenly changed his mind because the village chief favored Chang Zhixing?

Pfft!
