Title: Fortunate Wife
Chapter 144 – Stay (3)
Li Mo suddenly felt uncomfortable with directly looking at her bright, limpid eyes . "That day, when I saved you in the slave market, it was actually because I wanted you to be our family's wife . "
Even though she had already heard the truth from Mudan, she still felt a bit faint when Li Mo repeated the story to her . Her lips trembled . She didn't know what to say .
Seeing her gaze fixed on the ground, not saying word, and not reacting at all, Li Mo thought she didn't understand the full implication . He slowly explained, "To . . . be our family's . . . shared wife . "
AdvertisementLi Man wanted to pretend that she hadn't heard anything, but in the end, she still raised her head and looked him in the eye . "Shared wife?"
Something flickered in Li Mo's eyes . He averted his gaze . He had originally wanted to say that if she wasn't willing, he would let her go . However, when those words reached his lips, it turned into this instead, "Don't worry . Even though our family is poor right now, we won't stay poor forever . We'll work hard to earn money so that you can have a good life . We'll treat you well . No one will mistreat you . We . . . "
This was the first time that he said these type of words in front of a woman, Li Mo was surprised that he hadn't stuttered . However, at the end, his voice had turned pleading without him noticing "Can . . . Can you stay?"
Li Man's mind was buzzing . Actually, even after she had found out about the matter of being a shared wife, she hadn't thought about leaving . She just temporarily couldn't accept the facts yet .
However, seeing that she hadn't shown any reaction to his words, Li Mo felt his heart was hanging on a hook . He silently looked at her and didn't dare to say anything . He was scared that if he said another word, she would raise her head and tell him that she was going to leave .
However, at this moment, Little Five came inside with a bowl of water . “Oldest brother, the water is ready . "
Li Mo's heart skipped a beat . He secretly thought that Little Five had returned at a bad time . He meaningfully looked at him and said, "Still too hot, right? Go out and come back once it cools down . "
Little Five was a clever child . He immediately nodded and replied, "It is hot . I'll come back later . " After saying this, he hastily left .
Although Li Man hadn't raised her head, she could sense that something fishy had happened between the two brothers . Her lips curved up without her noticing, and she chuckled . Honestly, if there wasn't the issue of being shared wife, then she liked this family and their home .
"Actually . . . " She slowly raised her head .
Li Mo's entire body immediately tensed up when he heard her quiet voice .
"When I first heard this news, it was really hard to accept it . "
What did she mean? Li Mo felt unsure and looked at her without blinking .
Li Man's eyes were half lowered . She explained, "Actually, what I want to say is that when I was on the mountain, I had all sorts of wild thoughts . Of course, in those thoughts, I also considered leaving your home . "
Li Mo's abruptly grabbed he quilt . Was she going to leave after all?
"But . " Li Man's words took a turn . She continued, "Even though we haven't know each other for long, I really like it here . "
Li Mo's hand relaxed, but his heart remained frozen in suspension . "Then . . . does that mean you're willing?"
