Fortunate Wife Chapter 69

Chapter 69 – Smiling

Seeing him take several steps back and his mortified look, Li Man thought Li Mo was just regarding her as an outsider . Alright, since she had already made the resolution that she would be a member of this family, then she would start doing her best right now .

“It’s just a piece of clothing . Just leave it here . I’ll wash it with the other clothes later . ” As she said this, Li Man had already snatched the basin from him without giving him time to explain himself and put it down in a corner . Then, she scooped out some clean water from a water bowl and took it with her to wash up as she went outside .

Li Mo was frozen in place . He looked through the doorway . Li Man was currently leaning over and washing her face . Her slender, snow-white neck was slightly bent into a graceful curve . She splashed some water onto her face, rubbed her damp face with her hands, and dried off with a towel . Very quickly, she was done washing her face .

After pouring out the water she had use to wash her face with, Li Man turned around and discovered that Li Mo had been staring at her this entire time . Blood surged to her face in embarrassment . She squeezed out a smile as she asked, “Is there something on my face?”

How could that be? Her dainty face was usually fair and clear . Since she had just washed her face, it looked even softer and suppler than usual . It was as sparkling and translucent as early morning dew .

There was nothing that could be more clean and pure than her .

As he remembered the dream from last night, he felt an uncomfortable heat, and his gaze became deeper .

She felt flustered by his gaze . Li Man didn’t dare to continue meeting his eyes . She hastily put down the bowl and ran back into the western hut . Wait, no . She had to make breakfast today . And so, she mustered up her courage and returned to the kitchen .

Li Mo was still standing in the same place . Seeing her coming back and the blush that hadn’t faded yet from her cheeks, the corners of his lips curved up .

Why was he still standing here? Li Man inwardly rolled her eyes at him . She pretended to be unperturbed as she went about her work . She cleaned a bowl of uncooked rice and decided to make congee .

Without thinking, Li Mo crouched down by the stove and helped her with cooking by starting a fire .

Li Man felt as if there was something off about this . She was busy cooking on the stove, and he was tending to the fire below . Why did this feel like a scene of martial harmony?

Li Man struggled with this feeling for a bit before finally asking Li Mo, “If you have other work that you need to do, you can go do it . I can handle cooking by myself . ”

“I’m not busy . ” Li Mo slightly smiled at her . He tossed another piece of firewood into the fire . There was a crackling sound as the wood burned . His smile looked warm and dazzling as it was illuminated from the light of the cooking fire .

He was smiling? Li Man’s heart thumped as if she had just seen a ghost . Since she had transmigrated here, this was the first time that she saw him smile . And his smile looked so gentle too…

She hurriedly turned her head away to stop looking at him . Her mind became a bit muddled again .

As it turned out, it wasn’t the younger brothers that were flirting with their future sister-in-law .

It was the oldest brother that was trying to seduce his younger sister-in-law?

Oh, no, no, no… Li Man hurriedly shook her head to dispel her absurd idea . Based on the past several days of interaction, she could see that LI Mo was a honest person with a steady disposition . He definitely wasn’t a man that would try to seduce his younger brother’s wife .

He… He was just being nice and helping her . That’s all .

He was only smiling at her because he thought of her as a member of his family .

Still, wasn’t that smile a bit…

“Be careful, if you keep shaking your head like that, it’ll fall off . ” Suddenly, a voice interrupted her thoughts . Before Li Man could recognize who was speaking, a pair of rough hands held her head still .

When her eyes had settled, she saw that it was Li Yan .

There was a teasing look in his eyes as he asked, “What’s wrong? Is your neck feeling itchy? Want me to scratch it for you?”
