Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

"Ying Yuchuan,"

She nestled against his chest, her eyes lowered, and spoke softly.

"I don't want to make things difficult for you."

"What's difficult about it?"

He disagreed.

"We are the ones who owe you a debt of gratitude. If you hadn't saved me, I would have been dead long ago. How could I still be alive today?"

He opened one eye slightly and looked at her, whose expression was inscrutable.

His eyes were filled with seriousness.

"I'm sorry, it was my grandma who made you suffer."

Knowing where the problem lay, he didn't try to gloss over it. After a sigh, he tightened his arms around her and gently kissed her between her brows and eyes.

But no amount of apologies or explanations from him could change her mind.

He understands.

No woman would feel good about what has happened these past few days.

Especially the farce that happened at the hospital today: Li Wan is pregnant, and her grandmother is threatening suicide, wanting to jump off a building and kneel down.

Even now, he, as one of the parties involved, still feels a deep sense of powerlessness and anger about this dramatic turn of events.

Why can't Grandma's mind be changed?

Why do they keep provoking Lu Luozhi and the others?

They didn't do anything terribly wrong, did they?

They all automatically distanced themselves from her, didn't they?

As a result, she even took Li Wan to the hospital to cause trouble.

"Your grandparents are my great benefactors, and therefore the great benefactors of our Ying family. For that alone, they should treat you with the utmost respect."

is it?

Lu Luozhi smiled bitterly to herself.

Sometimes, even the greatest kindness cannot withstand the test of reality.

"You don't need to worry about Grandma's matter; leave it to me. Anyway, we've already moved out, and we won't see her again, so you can rest assured."

After Grandpa brought Grandma home, Old Ye told her that Grandma and Grandpa had a big fight.

They argued and parted on bad terms.

Now they both sleep in separate rooms and don't eat together anymore.

"So, Karoe, can you forgive me?"

With his right hand, he tucked the stray bangs behind her ear, and then used the tip of his index finger to trace her soft and delicate features.

His movements were unusually gentle, unlike the serious and cold Ying Yuchuan he used to be.

"Forgive me, the man who has caused you so much pain and sorrow."

As if something was stuck in her throat, Lu Luozhi felt her eyes stinging and burning.

"If you still don't believe that Li Wan is pregnant, I can bring her here and confront her face to face."

"I... I did believe it."

She finally found her voice again.

"You're not that kind of person."

Knowing his character, she calmed down and thought it over carefully before trusting him.

Between them, Li Wan was nothing; the most important person was Old Madam Ying.

He chuckled. "Looks like I still have some credibility with you."

"So what's on your mind right now? Tell me, and I'll help you resolve it. Just don't keep it bottled up inside. The more you keep it inside, the more scared I get."

Being dumped by her once is enough; it can't happen a second time.

He sighed inwardly and wrapped his arms tightly around her, holding her close in his embrace.

"Just say the word, and I can take you away from Nancheng to live in another city."

He is her husband, and he will provide her with a free and open space.

Lu Luozhi stared in surprise at his weak, handsome face.

He actually wanted to take her away from Nancheng to another city?

"But your parents are here..."

"My parents couldn't stand my grandma anymore, so they moved to our villa."

"what?"

Lu Luozhi was surprised once again.

Have they moved to a villa too?

"Do you believe they will support my decision?"

He chuckled softly, met her gaze, and said, "Perhaps they'll even come with us."

The burning emotion in her heart was beyond words. Lu Luozhi shifted her gaze, not daring to let him know that she had an urge to cry.

She heard the kettle chime indicating the water had boiled and quickly crawled out of his arms.

"I'll go get you some hot water."

She hurried into the kitchen.

Ying Yuchuan watched her figure walk out of the kitchen door, and he gave a slight bitter smile.

She still didn't quite trust him.

Indeed, why should she trust him completely again just because of a few words he says?

Listening to the sound of her pouring water, he turned his still weak body and had to think about how to coax her so that she could truly accept him.

My gaze inadvertently fell on the takeout boxes piled together by the door, ready to be thrown away.

There was also a large, transparent cake box.

There was some leftover cream in the box, and a blown-out number candle.

This discovery made him frown.

A hypothesis came to his mind.

He then took out his phone and pulled up a document.

When he saw the date on it, he confirmed his guess.

Today is her birthday!

A deep sense of guilt enveloped him.

And he, as the husband, was completely unaware of it.

They left her all alone here, eating her birthday cake by herself.

I felt a pang of sadness.

He got up from the sofa. "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

He called out to the kitchen and then hurried away.

Lu Luozhi followed closely behind, wanting to ask him where he was going, but saw the door wide open.

She was puzzled.

Why did he suddenly run out?
