Chapter 1674: 1674 Third Brother’s Wealth History 3

"Don’t say these things..."

"I want to say it!" He tried to embrace her, but she pushed him away, "If you make a move again, don’t blame me for being rude!"

He stared at her tranquil face without a hint of emotion change, "Why are you so heartless? Do you really have no feelings for me anymore? The capital is so big, when I heard you were in the capital back then, I went crazy looking for you, but unfortunately, in the sea of people, I couldn’t find you. After layers of analysis, chasing shadows, I finally confirmed that you are the mastermind behind ’Secret Fragrance and Sparse Shadows’, and also the world’s number one talent Unparalleled Young Master. I sent people to investigate, but I never saw your true face. There was no way, I wanted to see you, so I went to the brothel you ran, but my men were discovered by your subordinates. Hua Xiang, the prostitute at Secret Fragrance and Sparse Shadows, wanted to give me her first night, I felt disgusted, I have always kept my chastity for you, how could I touch other women? For you, I am willing to squander my fortune, that’s why I offered a price of two hundred thousand taels for you at ’Secret Fragrance and Sparse Shadows’..."

He reached out trying to lift her chin, but she slapped his hand away.

A trace of sadness rose between his brows, "I think you already noticed that I discovered your identity, yet you still hide from me, leaving me no choice but to use Fourth Brother, sending someone to tell him that you were in the capital, he waited for you for five years in Longwan Town but couldn’t sit still, so he came to the capital looking for you. I really didn’t want him to see you, but there was nothing I could do, compared to that, forcing you out is more important. But even after Fourth Brother came to the capital, it was still useless, you still didn’t appear."

She walked to a chair and sat down, he picked up the teapot, carefully poured her a cup of water, and handed it to her, "Some time ago, someone wanted to find Thousand-knot Grass, I thought, maybe the person looking for Thousand-knot Grass was you. Because... I deeply regret that Fourth Brother’s legs can’t walk. I also found out that Thousand-knot Grass can be the key ingredient to heal Fourth Brother’s leg injury. The person searching for Thousand-knot Grass left the capital... I was afraid it might be you, so I immediately left the capital and followed."

He closed his eyes, his eyes excited, deep in emotion, finally achieving his wish, "Even if you changed your appearance and wore men’s clothing, in Lady Liu’s inn, I still recognized you at first glance."

She took the tea he had poured, her hand stiffened while holding the cup, then she casually sipped the tea.

"Do you know why I deliberately annoyed you? Why I didn’t recognize you immediately?" He smiled bitterly, "I always felt that you still had me in your heart, I was angry at you for not giving me any news for over five years, angry at you for deliberately avoiding me, and more afraid that once I appeared in front of you, you would run away."

"You think too little of me." She said this, but she might really change into another human skin mask, bury the identity of Su Xingyun, the ordinary merchant, and run away.

"Is that so." He obviously didn’t believe it, "I just wanted you to taste the bitterness of waiting. You only stayed in the valley for three days and couldn’t endure it. I was afraid, wife, so as soon as you got impatient, I immediately ran to you."

Guilt flashed in his eyes, "Wife, back then I just suspected the Xiao Clan of harming you, without solid evidence. Nowadays, through bribing the Xiao couple’s confidant, I confirmed they had indeed harmed you. I couldn’t protect you back then, but now, I won’t let them off!"

She spoke in a calm tone, just stating, "They are your biological parents. Not letting them off, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?"
