Su Wen also found Liu Chun pleasing to the eye. After all, he had always treated her well. “Why are you here? Are you looking for Hengyang?”
...“No, no.” Liu Chun would not foolishly say that he was here to look for Zhou Hengyang. “I was in the area and thought of dropping by,” he chirped, perhaps a little nervously, “I’m as good as a brother to Hengyang, so I think of you as a close relative.”
Su Wen pursed her lips, doing her best not to laugh.
“Sister-in-law, how’d the land allocation go? What did you get?”
“It wasn’t bad.”
“That’s good, hehe… Oh! Let me introduce you. This is Hengyang’s cousin, Xu Xiaoxiao,” Liu Chun said, taking the initiative to introduce Xu Xiaoxiao to hide his embarrassment. Knowing Hengyang, he would not bother introducing the latter at all.
“Xu Xiaoxiao, this is Hengyang’s wife, Su Wen. You should get to know her.” As he spoke, Liu Chun winked at Xu Xiaoxiao, hoping he would not miss the cue.
Xu Xiaoxiao offered Su Wen a curt nod before turning his attention back onto Zhou Hengyang, his killing intent leaking as if itching to start a fight.
Su Wen did not take Xu Xiaoxiao’s attitude to heart. She was not interested in
Zhou Hengyang’s relatives anyway. According to the novel she had read, Zhou Hengyang’s relationship with his family was poor, the two sides facing off in a deadlock.
If not for this small tidbit, Hengyang would never have been allowed to become a live-in son-in-law so easily.
Su Wen was grateful for Liu Chun’s effort and said, “Let me introduce my sisters, then.” Su Wen waved at her sisters, who were not far away, calling them over.
Su Qing and the others had been waiting for Su Wen close by. They immediately noticed Zhou Henyang talking to someone as they approached, answering Su Wen’s call.
So it was Su Wen’s younger sister!
What a coincidence!
“Sister-in-law, I didn’t know you had six younger sisters!” Liu Chun exclaimed.
“Well, now you know. All six of them are my closest kin.” Su Wen knew Liu
Chun would react this way and continued, “I’m sure you know my Third Sister,
Su Xiu; you met her the last time we were in town. This is my Second Sister, Su Qing, and Fourth Sister, Su Xue. The other three are my Fifth, Sixth, and Little Sister.
Liu Chun was dazzled and shocked to find that his sister-in-law was a big beauty. Even her sisters were all pretty! The one that looked most like Su Wen had to be Sixth Sister. Despite her youth, it was clear she would grow up and become a beauty like Su Wen in the future.
“Sister-in-law, does your family still need a live-in son-in-law?” Liu Chun asked a little too enthusiastically.
“Haha!” Su Wen grinned, sparing Zhou Hengyang a glance.
A certain someone felt her gaze and put his arm around Liu Chun’s shoulder. “Alright, let’s go.” “Where?”
“Back to the city.”
“We just arrived, and now we’re leaving already?” Liu Chun did not want to leave. “It took forever to get here! Can’t we stay for a meal before heading back?”
While Liu Chun did not want to leave, the opposite was true for Xu Xiaoxiao, who could not wait to return to the city. He wanted to be out of the dingy village as soon as possible.
“Come on. Let’s go!”
Zhou Hengyang escorted Su Wen and her siblings home, but not before he chased Liu Chun to the car. Back home, he packed his luggage. He did not have many things to pack, so it should not have taken long to pack everything he needed for the journey. However, this time, he was in no rush.
Eventually, he could tarry no longer and zipped his luggage shut with all his belongings.
Picking up his luggage, he stared at the room, which seemed emptier, in more ways than one, now that he was leaving for the city. He drank in the sight, committing even the smallest details to memory. Finally, his eyes landed on the bed, his mind flashing to a stray thought of Su Wen as she slept peacefully in his arms. So much had changed so quickly that it drew a faint smile. Perhaps he was a little different now than before.
Zhou Hengyang’s ears burned at the memory of that crazy dream he had.
Last night, he had snuggled with Su Wen in his arms. Today, he was leaving without her wrapped in them..
