Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were already enough things to do in the village. Why was he here?

However, Chu Yuanxi’s words made her body stiffen.

“My wife, you’re finally here.”

Chu Wanwan was right. It was Chu Yuanxi.

Chu Yuanxi was leaning close to her ear. The hot breath from his mouth reached her face, making her feel itchy and uncomfortable.

“You don’t seem to recognize me.”

Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, he could not help but feel a little unhappy. He even began to feel that what Chu Wanwan had said to him before was all a lie.

“Chu Yuanxi, how could I not recognize you?” Chu Wanwan said awkwardly.

“I was just panicking. We’re going to be husband and wife in the future. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous if we don’t recognize each other?” she quickly added, afraid that Chu Yuanxi would suspect something.

“That’s true.”

Chu Yuanxi was very satisfied with her answer. He tightened his grip on Chu Wanwan’s waist and said happily, “Chu Wanwan, you’re really good at making me feel better. I’m really glad to have a wife like you in the future.”

Although the latter part of the sentence was meant to compliment her, Chu Wanwan was not in a good mood. Instead, she felt that he was insulting her, but she did not dare to say anything more.

She could only smile awkwardly. “I’m being sincere. This is the truth.”

“Alright, let’s leave now.”

Hearing this, Chu Yuanxi became even happier. He could not wait any longer and pulled Chu Wanwan to leave.

“I know you like following the rules,” he said as he pulled her. “You don’t want to break the rules, right? Today’s wedding ceremony was incomplete. Later, I’ll hold a complete ceremony for you. I guarantee that you’ll never forget it in your life.”

Chu Wanwan was dumbfounded. She started to stutter and did not know what to say next.

She did not expect Chu Yuanxi to think of holding a wedding for her.

Putting everything else aside, she was extremely unwilling to marry Chu Yuanxi.

Besides, she was already married to Jiang Ming. If she married Chu Yuanxi now, what would she do if Jiang Ming found out? That was unreasonable.

Although she was the eldest daughter of the village chief and Jiang Ming was just a young man, she could not do this. It was equivalent to ruining her reputation.

At the thought of this, she subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away from Chu Yuanxi.

However, Chu Yuanxi had already expected this. He deliberately clenched his fist tightly and said casually, “You don’t have to care about those formalities. Since the wedding ceremony wasn’t completed, it doesn’t count. From now on, you have nothing to do with Jiu Zhu. Don’t even think about looking for him. Didn’t you promise me that you would go far away with me? I don’t want you to lie to me.”

In the end, his voice became a little heavier, and his eyes were cold.

He knew this very well.

Chu Wanwan was very cunning. She might easily be pretending to want to go with him. He was indeed moved by her display of love, but now he did not want to be fooled by her again.

Chu Wanwan’s heart thumped.

Why did Chu Yuanxi seem to have suddenly been enlightened? It was as if he had seen through her lies. However, she had been able to deceive him previously. Who was it that taught him these things?

She was terrified, but she knew that she had to take action now. She could not help but cough. “Chu Yuanxi, you don’t treat me like this. How could I go to Jiu Zhu? I like you. Look, I was taking the initiative to look for you. If I wanted to be with Jiu Zhu, why would I come and look for you? Wouldn’t I be asking for trouble then? Why don’t we just let you wait here?”

After thinking about it, Chu Yuanxi felt relieved. He patted the back of Chu Wanwan’s hand and said, “Chu Wanwan, I knew that you liked me. You don’t have to think about your shortcomings at the wedding just now. I’ve built a large courtyard there, and there are many servants inside. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. The layout is not worse than a regular house, so don’t worry.”

“You’re so considerate. I feel so blessed.”

Chu Wanwan grinned, but she did not show it on her face. She pretended to be touched and hugged Chu Yuanxi. Her eyes were filled with happiness, but in fact, only she knew the truth.

She felt disgusted.

What was the difference between this and forcefully marrying her? However, she could not say it out loud. She could only curse silently in her heart.

Jiang Ming came to Chu Wanwan’s room. The servant girl was blocking him at the door.

“Jiu Zhu, she is resting. Come back to see her later.”

“The wedding has just ended, and she’s already resting? Is she feeling unwell?”

Jiang Ming felt that something was off and wanted to ask the servant girl carefully. The servant girl immediately said, “Yes, she was a little angry because of the village chief’s matter, so she went to rest early. Her health was not good before, and now it’s a little worse.”

“That’s fine. I know medicine. I can take a look at her. As her husband, I should have given her a full body checkup. I forgot about it.”

As he spoke, Jiang Ming turned around and wanted to barge in.

The servant girl immediately panicked.

She did not expect Jiang Ming to find such an excuse.

“Jiu Zhu, Ms. Wanwan has fallen asleep. It will not be too late to check her body when she wakes up.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming had a rough guess.

There was probably no one in this room. Otherwise, this servant girl would not be so secretive.

Moreover, they were talking so loudly that even a dog would wake up. He did not think that Chu Wanwan was in the house.

He did not reveal anything. Instead, he said, “Alright then. When she wakes up, you can tell her. I’ll leave first.”

He turned around and left, not intending to listen to the servant girl anymore.

The servant girl thought that Jiang Ming believed her and could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

She had finally driven Jiang Ming away. If he continued to pester her and persist in this, there was really nothing she could do.

Seeing this, she could not help but worry about Chu Wanwan. She walked toward the courtyard anxiously.

Chu Yuanxi was like a lunatic, and Chu Wanwan was not as strong as him. If she suffered a loss, it would be terrible. She had to go and take a look quickly.

But what she did not know was that Jiang Ming seemed to have left, but in fact, he did not leave at all.

He looked at the servant girl’s departing figure and followed her without hesitation.

He faintly sensed that this servant girl should have gone to look for Chu Wanwan. Why did they hide it from him? This was probably not good for him.
