Xiao Lian looked up at Su Xi’s reddened eyes and lowered her head. “At least that woman has some conscience.”
Feeling the pain in her body, Su Xi smiled faintly. “Actually, she’s kind to us.”
This mention of “kind” made Xiao Lian angry. “Not at all! She knows your body is weak yet always makes you pass out. She doesn’t marry you and only comes a few times a month, not caring about you.”
“Xiao Lian, I’ve told you that as long as you can marry into a good family, that’s enough. Don’t mention this anymore. She won’t marry me, and I won’t marry her.” Su Xi patted Xiao Lian’s head and sighed. “I’m happy that she can come here a few times a month.”
Xiao Lian stared blankly. “Brother, you’re not in love with that woman, are you?”
Su Xi lowered his eyes without speaking. Although she only came to do that and then left after paying, she had been good to them. She provided enough silver for their living and often sent people to bring things over. Those silver pieces allowed them to live comfortably and save as well.
She never prevented him from serving other clients, but he was unwilling to, not wanting other women to touch him. He waited for her arrival every month. Although he always felt sore and in pain after waking up, during the night when Jin Yu was with him, intense pleasure flowed through his body, making him moan in ways he had never experienced before.
Just thinking about Jin Yu made Su Xi flush.
Xiao Lian noticed Su Xi’s silence and redness, exclaiming, “Brother, you really like that woman? Every time she comes, she’s cruel to you. I hear the strange sounds you make and want to rush in and pull her away. If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have chased her away long ago.”
Su Xi’s face grew hotter. Did he really cry out that loudly? Xiao Lian had heard it?!
Xiao Lian took a deep breath, “What’s so good about her? Although the Jin family has many inns and teahouses, she runs a pleasure house like Huamei Lou and also operates gambling houses. How could you like such a lowly woman?” Her tone was full of dissatisfaction.
