Su Qingyue didn’t understand why the petty cat had come back and sat next to her, but she didn’t care. She felt cold in her wet clothes and pulled second brother’s hand down.

Xiao Yishan knew she had something to say, so he nodded and leaned down toward her.

“Bath… bath… bath… bath…” She repeated it several times, afraid he would misunderstand or mishear it. Anyone who wasn’t an idiot would understand.

Xiao Yishan finally understood what his wife was trying to say. Unfortunately, she was mute, and even if her mouth moved, she couldn’t make any sound. He didn’t realize that it was just because her voice was too weak. He nodded at her, “I’ll go heat up some water for you.”

She was watching his lips, understanding what he said, and quickly nodded.

Xiao Yuchuan sighed with relief, “Wife, so you just wanted a bath, not for second brother to stay and watch you change clothes! You should’ve said it earlier!” He paused, then added, “I forgot, you can’t speak.”

Seeing that she didn’t respond, he thought she was angry and said, “I didn’t want to stop second brother from heating the water for you earlier because I thought you were shameless… Ugh, why am I even explaining this to you? Anyway, you can’t be mad at me. You’ve been here for over a month and haven’t taken a bath, so how would I know you’d want one today?”

She sat down, feeling a little dizzy.

He nudged her, “Are you really mad? I didn’t blame you. Why let second brother heat up your bathwater, instead of asking me?”

When she turned her head to look at him, she didn’t see his mouth moving because he had just finished speaking.

Not knowing what he meant, she turned her head back.

“Wife, it’s going to be a while before second brother has the hot water ready, so you should take off your wet clothes in the meantime…” As he spoke, he reached to untie the strap on her clothes.

She slapped his hand away and glared at him.

He became upset, “You think I’m trying to take advantage of you again? With your skinny body, I have no interest. I just want you to take off your wet clothes so you won’t catch a cold.”

His wife’s lip movements were so precise, Xiao Yuchuan really understood her. He got up, “Wife, I’m badly hurt today, with several broken bones. I’ll get out some other day. I can’t roll out today since my body can’t handle it, so I’ll just walk out.”

He obediently left the room and thoughtfully closed the door.

He heard her locking the door from the inside.

He slanted his mouth, “Who locks their husband outside when changing clothes? What’s the point of bolting the door? I already said I’m not interested in your skinny body.”

While he complained, he stood foolishly in front of the door, thinking about his wife changing clothes inside…

He still felt uneasy.

Then he thought about how his wife almost drowned…

Xiao Yuchuan’s heart felt heavy, knowing his wife loved him so much. He needed to treat her well in the future. At the same time, he was a bit worried. She had attempted suicide for him today, and the act of locking the door was probably to anger him. What if she wanted to consummate their marriage tonight…

Frowning, he thought about it for a while, until his body was in severe pain before he came back to his senses.

He rubbed his supposedly broken bones…

Feeling sore and painful… The bones weren’t really broken. Second brother had shown mercy.

If his wife really wanted him that much, and in case she forced herself on him tonight, he would… just have to accept it..
