Xiao Wu bit the toothpick. “Let’s wait and see. That woman has liked the little widow for a long time. If the little widow could marry her, it would be better than being a hidden prostitute in this beauty house.”
“But the little widow belongs to our young lady. Didn’t she tell us to protect him and his brother?”
“The young lady just told us to protect them from being bullied. If the little widow is willing, we don’t need to intervene. She also said we can’t let him discover us.”
“But in this situation, the little widow doesn’t look like he wants to accept her. He’s clearly being forced.” Xiao Zhou turned back and was stunned by someone in the distance. “Xiao Wu, look ahead…”
Xiao Wu turned to look and said blankly, “We don’t need to go out now.”
The woman saw Su Xi’s eyes reddening and finally let go of his hand, wanting to comfort him. “Don’t cry, I’ll let go. When we get married, I’ll touch you again.”
“Don’t come near me,” Su Xi quickly stepped back, wiping his arm with his sleeve as tears welled in his eyes. If Miss Jin knew he had been touched, would she be angry? He looked at the woman with reddened eyes. “Miss Lu, please go back. I’ve told you, I won’t marry you.”
Lu appeared visibly angry. “Are you still refusing me? It’s been two years since that woman touched you, and she shows no intention of marrying you. As the Jin family head, she will never marry you.”
“I never thought of marrying her,” Su Xi said, trembling slightly.
“Then why won’t you marry me? Isn’t being my legitimate husband better than being a hidden prostitute?” With frustration, Lu confronted Su Xi, her desire for him unfulfilled for nearly two years.
“Will you help take care of Xiao Lian?” Su Xi asked, hoping to dissuade her. Although he appreciated her willingness to marry him despite his past, his heart belonged to someone else. Even if that person had moved on, he couldn’t accept another woman’s touch. He was grateful that Jin Yu had been his first client.
