Chapter 213: Chapters 213-215 Not Looking at Others_1

Tan Zhenghong leaned in, his voice tense as he spoke, "Wife, did I make you angry? Just tell me, and I’ll change right away."

Qiao Duo’er pushed Tan Zhenghong away and then sat up, staring straight at him with wide eyes.

She wasn’t just angry—she was furious!

Tan Zhenghong gulped nervously, "Wife, what’s wrong?"

"Are you saying you like someone else?"

Qiao Duo’er narrowed her eyes, a murderous glint shining in those jet-black, clear orbs.

If Tan Zhenghong dared to nod, she would definitely strangle him on the spot.

He had become her man due to a bizarre twist of fate, and for various reasons, she had laid bare before him. There was no room for negotiation after that—he would have to remain her devoted man for the rest of his life.

Thinking of having something with another woman?

That would have to wait until the next life!

Tan Zhenghong immediately shook his head, "I only want you."

Qiao Duo’er’s expression finally softened a bit, and with a determined heart, she questioned further, "Then why are you keeping your distance from me?"

Cough cough, her pride had taken a serious hit!

Now that she was fair and beautiful, why did Tan Zhenghong act as if avoiding the plague? Was she that scary?

Tan Zhenghong puckered his lips, "Well... I’m afraid you’ll get pregnant, and I hear giving birth is very painful."

Qiao Duo’er felt like facepalming. So, this commotion was all about pregnancy. Tan Zhenghong had said he didn’t want children, but she didn’t expect he was serious about it.

Tan Zhenghong, unaware of Qiao Duo’er’s thoughts, thought her silence meant she was still angry.

Sigh, his intentions were good!

Alright, she forgave Tan Zhenghong.

The next day, Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong got out of bed, still feeling shy. As usual, Qiao Duo’er was in charge of breakfast, while Tan Zhenghong took care of washing the sheets and trousers.

"Brother Hong, aren’t you afraid you’ll ruin the sheets by washing them?"

The weather hadn’t been that hot these days. Was there any need to wash the sheets so often?

Tan Zhenghong cleared his throat before saying, "Your sister-in-law likes things clean."

After breakfast, Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong went together to the village chief’s house.

The village chief, also known as Li Zheng, was responsible for household registration, taxes, land sales, and the like; naturally, buying homestead land had to go through him.

Qiao Duo, tall and slender with a graceful figure, and Tan Zhenghong, tall and handsome, made a visually pleasing couple as they walked together.

The villagers all cast envious glances their way. Tan Zhenghong had always been dashing, but what mattered was Qiao Duo’er.

If they had known how beautiful Qiao Duo’er was, they would have bought her back with One or Two Silver long ago!

But their harmonious appearance pained one person’s eyes. That was Xiao Biyu.

Her mother had been outwitted by Qiao Duo’er last time, leaving her family embarrassed and Xiao Biyu herself the subject of gossip.

She had been loved before, everyone doting on her, but this time everyone spoke up and forbade her from harboring any improper thoughts towards Tan Zhenghong.

But how could one stop loving at will?

She liked Tan Zhenghong and was determined to marry none but him in this lifetime.

She was out to find Tan Zhenghong today, but unexpectedly, he was walking hand in hand with Qiao Duo’er, laughing and talking. Didn’t they have any decency?

It was all because of Qiao Duo’er, that vixen. Otherwise, Tan Zhenghong would never act like this!

Qiao Duo’er spoke softly, "That smitten girl is following us from behind, aren’t you going to say hello?"

"Don’t think I don’t know you’re trying to set me up. If I go over, later you’ll probably give me hell."

Tan Zhenghong indicated that he was aware of his wife’s little schemes.

Qiao Duo’er gave Tan Zhenghong a sidelong glance, "So what you mean is, you’re too scared to go because of me being fierce?"

"Not at all, it’s just that I like you and I don’t care for anyone else."

Tan Zhenghong complied agreeably, not merely to please his wife, but because it was truly how he felt.

Qiao Duo’er then nodded, hmm, a man with realization.

"Seeing as you’re so sincere, you can go buy medicine in town tomorrow," Qiao Duo’er gave Tan Zhenghong a flirtatious look.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at the village chief’s house.

Once inside, Tan Zhenghong explained straight away that he and Qiao Duo’er wanted to buy the piece of land to the east of the village.

Tie Niu naturally had no objections, but still reminded them, "That piece of land isn’t cheap, are you sure about this one?"

"Hmm, it’s rare to like something, Uncle Tie. We want to buy it as soon as possible," Tan Zhenghong said earnestly.

Just as Tie Niu was about to nod, a voice cut in, "Village chief, I want that piece of land."
