和朋友换娶妻3野外夫妇交

Chapter 471 - You Always Wanted Me Wrapped Around You



“I do!” Hu Ran exclaimed, tugging at the clothes.

At the same time, she was now under the impression that Third Brother intended to sever all past ties—including his former flame—to be loyal towards their marriage.

Nonetheless, she felt even guiltier because of that.

That was also why she was basically not refusing any of Third Brother’s request, nor would she deliberately make fun of him.

Still, their current situation was very awkward, not to mention that Third Brother was caring for her as if she was a child.

Actually, his former flame was quite beautiful.

“Now that we have a Third Young Madam, all of you have to do your best even if she is a little touched in the head and easy to coax. Take good care of her.”

The butler was instructing the servants in the living room.

However, his wording left Third Brother uncomfortable, which was why he turned and told the butler, “Don’t let me hear touched in the head or whatnot in the house from now on.”

“Yes, Third Young Master...”

Having had his say, Third Brother was about to step out of the house when Gu Ziling suddenly asked him, “Are you sure you don’t need my help?”

“Why do you seem so keen about the affairs of other couples, Second Sister?”

“Do you two even count as a normal couple?” Gu Ziling smiled. “Isn’t it no different than not having a wife for you? Why else would you come out, ready to leave the house when Grandfather told you two to take a break in your room?”

Third Brother did not offer any explanation, but left the house while leaving Hu Ran behind. Still, he returned soon enough, holding certain lady’s necessities in his hand.

That was because Hu Ran had complained about her tummy aching after she changed her clothes, and had been quite embarrassed to talk about where it hurts.

It was only after Third Brother found the blood traces in the bathroom that he found out she was having her period, and was holding it in, afraid to say it.

That was why he went out personally to buy said lady’s necessities.

And when Hu Ran was rolling around the bed in pain, Third Brother had promptly searched for information, warming her up to alleviate the pain.

“Little Brother, is Xiao Ran dying...”

Third Brother sat down on the bed, held her and reached out to rub her belly. “Xiao Ran is not dying. Xiao Ran is very healthy.”

Hu Ran’s cheeks were all red, and only fell asleep soundly after aching for hours on the bed.

Third Brother only breathed a sigh of relief when he watched her close eyes.

This was his new wife.

Meanwhile, Old Sheng did not ask after them over the entire day. Even their lunch and dinner were brought to their room by their servants.

Late at night, Hu Ran opened her eyes to find Third Brother leaning on a chaise lounge.

In truth, she could not bear to see him like that.

Still, her period cramps were not faked, and she did not expect that Third Brother would care for a dullard like her, patiently and without fussing over hygiene.

That was why she got up from bed as he slept, and pull a blanket over him.

At the same time, she was hesitant: should she tell this magnanimous man that she was laying dumb, and sign a divorce agreement with him?

After thinking about it for a moment, Hu Ran quietly dumped the idea because she had not really understood him yet, and did not want to take the risk.

***

The entire Sheng family had been discussing through the night on whether Third Brother could succeed in his efforts, and whether the child born later would be a halfwit too.

On the next day, Third Brother stepped out of his door to find several servants sweeping up outside the doorway attentively, although they were in fact listening on them.

He hence headed to the dining room with Hu Ran with a poor look on his face.

“Xiao Ran, come have your breakfast. Did you sleep well last night?”

Remembering how Third Brother had massaged her belly yesterday, Hu Ran flushed and answered Old Sheng, “Xiao Ran slept very well.”

And she looked as if something happened between her and Third Brother.

Everyone was stunned.

“It’s good that you slept well. This will be your home from now on, Xiao Ran.”

Hu Ran pretended as if she did not understand and put on a silly smile, whereas Third Brother acted as if he heard nothing and started having his breakfast.

“Since you’ve married Xiao Ran, you should return to your post soon. Someone will take care of her here at home.”

Third Brother shook his head at the old man’s words. “No rush... Xiao Ran is still not used to this place and its people. I’ll only stop worrying after I settle her in.”

“I didn’t know you care for her so much, Third Brother. Do as you wish, then...”

Meanwhile, Hu Ran had a meal with a naïve look, acting as if she neither knew nor cared about anyone else.

Third Brother cared for her even as he had his own fill, completely paying no notice when Sheng Kai spoke to the old man about Huang Yao.

Such was the difference between those who were spoiled and not spoiled.

For her part, Hu Ran also finally understood Third Brother’s place in the family. While they were both his grandson, the old man had found the best of wives for Second Brother and gave him the throne of Huang Yao’s CEO. On the other hand, Third Brother was matched with a halfwit like herself, and a post that was basically nonessential.

He was a pitiful person as well.

But how could she help him?

Most importantly, from how Third Brother appeared to have no wants or needs, she just could not tell what she could provide for him.

Or perhaps she should take him to meet his former flame, and try to ease their misery of being apart?

“Little brother, little brother. I’m going to a hobby group later, so could you come with me?”

As a matter of fact, she needed no company once she was there, and Third Brother could leave to meet the girl he likes.

“Okay...” Third Brother agreed without hesitation.

As a matter of fact, Hu Ran helped Third Brother to meet the girl he liked so as to convey her own intentions, because she would definitely need Third Brother’s help in the future.

Unbeknownst to her, however, she completely misunderstood the relationship between Third Brother and Mu Qiqi.

***

In fact, Mu Qiqi missed Third Brother.

There was no telling when Hu Ran would show Third Brother her hand, just as she was afraid that Hu Ran would toy with him.

Sheng Xiao could no help talking to her when he saw that. “If you’re worried about Miss Hu misunderstanding about that other night, I could arrange for a meeting with Third Brother tomorrow to clarify the matter.”

“Yes, clarification please. I don’t want to cause any misunderstandings...” Mu Qiqi said, wrapping her arms around Sheng Xiao’s neck. “Word that Third Brother has married a halfwit is spreading wildly out there, and they’re even saying that their child would be a halfwit too.”

“Everyone is just so gleeful about, let alone the evil spirits like Gu Ziling and Sixth Brother.”

“Anyway, slow day at the forensics lab? You’re not leaving even at this hour.” Ensnared by his little one, Sheng Xiao could not move at all.

“You weren’t like this before. You’ve always wanted me wrapped around you so badly.” Mu Qiqi kept her hands firmly around him.
