The Jin master’s taste is unique, allowing a prostitute who’s been used by many to get pregnant and even willing to make him take fertility drugs to bear her child. The abandoned man, heavily pregnant and filled with jealousy and despair, had fallen in love with a client. He secretly took fertility drugs to be with her, only to be left in this state, now forced to service rough women to survive.
Suxi’s face turned pale as he recalled Jin Yu’s words: “Marry me, and I’ll take care of you and the baby for life.” His hand touched his belly; she had promised to care for them and give them a home. He believed her completely, convinced she wouldn’t leave him.
After this realization, Suxi’s complexion improved, and his tense body relaxed. Xiao Lian understood that others looked down on him and Suxi, and felt hurt and angry for Suxi. His brother was no seductress; the gossip was nonsense.
Xiao Lian, feeling upset, looked to Suxi for comfort. “Brother, don’t listen to them. The Jin family master treats you well. She sends us gifts and even carved a hairpin for you. Now that you’re pregnant, she’ll surely continue to treat you kindly.”
Suxi smiled softly, stroking Xiao Lian’s hair as they walked “home.” “I know she’s good to us. I won’t overthink things.” For Suxi, home was where family was—Xiao Lian, Jin Yu, and the baby in his belly. As long as they were together, everything was fine.
Sui Xi came to her senses, glanced at Xiao Lian, and picked up her needle and thread to continue working, casually saying, “No need to pay attention.” Everyone in Shi Li Town knew that the master of the Jin family and Yun Zheng’s wife had not consummated their marriage. Sui Xi sometimes wondered why, despite her feelings, she remained cold towards him. It had been two years, and any man would be miserable without his wife’s affection. Sui Xi shook her head, thinking that as long as she had him and the baby, it was enough.
Xiao Lian was dissatisfied with these words. “But that person… that person is bullying…”
Sui Xi looked up at Xiao Lian helplessly. “You shouldn’t go out so often. Learn men’s crafts first.”
