C18 (1/2)

It was a beautiful night, and Xiaowan officially became Ling Chaofeng's wife. There was no pain, no trace of unwillingness, and the mighty and domineering attitude of her husband was indeed unbearable for the young lady who had experienced such things for the first time. However, after falling asleep amidst every inch of care and love, in these seventeen years, her heart was calm and peaceful even though she was sleeping with others for the first time.

When she was tied up in the woodshed, she heard the women talking about the man under the window. She knew what that meant. She was humiliated and afraid, and she imagined Ling Chaofeng to be countless terrifying people. In the end, the man she married was beautiful and elegant, with a majestic appearance.

He woke up feeling sore all over. When he thought back to last night, he couldn't help but blush when he opened his eyes.

The birds outside the window chirped, and the sun shone in. The sky was already bright.

The door opened, causing Xiaowan's heart to tremble. He quickly closed his eyes, but Ling Chaofeng sat on the side of the bed, scratching her waist gently: ”I'm awake, why are you still pretending to be asleep? You want to be lazy and not work? ”

Xiaowan tenderly opened her eyes and pursed her lips, reminiscing about last night's warmth. Even though it was already the night of their marriage that she was completely exposed in front of this person, last night was truly a memory that was worthy of her collecting for her entire life.

She had married, she had married such a handsome man, she had married such a loving husband, she thought, she would never have a good thing in her life.

He sat up slowly and used the quilt to cover his naked body, revealing the bed sheets underneath. A brown mark was left on the bright red bed sheets.

The shy people quickly covered her up with a blanket, and were in a panic, trying to ignore her. They thought that Ling Chaofeng should laugh at her, but he pulled another blanket over her and wrapped it around her.

A few days later, the ferocious person disappeared, and the person who threatened to break her legs had also disappeared. Also, during those few days, he had gone to heaven and earth to try to escape.

Xiaowan laid on Ling Chaofeng's shoulder and said weakly: ”I thought about it these few days, there's been so much delicious food in the inn, and Aunt and Uncle Biao dotes on me, and you aren't a bad person either. I don't feel that it's wrong to marry you, but I'm not just greedy for the peace here, I …”

”If you were a bad girl, I wouldn't want to marry you. I'd want to marry a good man, and every girl would think that, wouldn't they?” Ling Chaofeng patted her back lightly, ”Your whole life, you are destined to have no choice. If I force you to marry me, you will only be unwilling.”

”Hubby.” Xiaowan read softly. She really liked that word.

Ling Chaofeng laughed, he released his embrace and looked at Xiaowan carefully: ”What?”

Xiaowan's gaze was dazed as she asked with a smile: ”You already knew me before I entered, do you know what I am like?”

Ling Chaofeng nodded. ”I heard about all the little beauties in the Qingling Village from the matchmaker.”

Xiaowan's expression changed and became anxious. Her voice became softer and softer as she lowered her eyes and muttered: ”Then you should know as well … ”My life is too tough, my mother, big sister, and even grandma …”

Ling Chaofeng stuck out a finger and pressed it against Xiaowan's lips, ”It's just a coincidence, it's the mouth of someone unrelated, and it's not your fault. Mother, Big Sister, and Grandma, they're all in the sky, hoping for you, so that they can protect you with all they have. Look, didn't you find me? ”

This was the first time Xiaowan had ever heard of such a novel and warm way of speaking. Even she herself felt that it was because of fate, that her mother and elder sister were killed, and that her grandmother, who had yet to age, had caused her to live so arduously.

”Withdraw your tears.” Seeing that his wife's eyes were moist, Ling Chaofeng straightened his face and said in a displeased tone, ”How can there be so many things to cry about? I don't like to see you cry.”

”I won't cry.” Xiaowan hurriedly rubbed her eyes. As she raised her hands, the blanket on her body naturally fell down from her shoulders, revealing her snow white skin. She was afraid that Ling Chaofeng would see those scars, after all, they were all over the place.

Seeing the petite girl anxiously pulling up the blanket to cover up the wounds, Ling Chaofeng had actually already seen them before. Of course, there were also some who had already grown new skin, leaving only faint scars. However, they all relied on their young self healing, as if they had never used any medicine before.

”I'll go find some ointment to treat your wounds and remove your scars and apply it on you. After a few days, the scars will all be gone.” Ling Chaofeng said.

”I don't want to …” Xiaowan lowered her head, she did not want to let him see those terrifying existences.

However, Ling Chaofeng said: ”Let Aunt Zhang apply the medicine on you.”

Xiaowan shook her head harder.
