Something's Wrong With My Wife

Chapter 94: Despicable!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was late at night.

Luo Qingzhou lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The little girl in his arms was already sound asleep.

After killing the two ghost slaves, he could not calm down.

If he had not happened to read those books and cultivated his soul, he would not have known that there were such sneaky creatures in the night.

The mystery and complexity of this world exceeded his expectations.

Other than mortals and martial artists, there were also soul cultivators.

Other than demon beasts and ghosts, there were monsters of all kinds.

If he had only focused on studying and making a name for himself like before, he would have long become a cold corpse.

First Madam would not let the matter rest.

However, he did not understand why the other party still wanted to kill him now that he had left the Chengguo Residence and married into the Qin residence. He was no longer a threat to her son’s assets.

Could it be just to vent her anger?

Or… was it because of this marriage that they had orchestrated?

Luo Qingzhou thought about Qin Jianjia’s performance when she returned home with him and Luo Yu’s gaze that day. Thinking about Luo Yu’s attitude later on, Luo Qingzhou felt that his guess should be correct.

Otherwise, there was no need for her to spend so much effort and financial resources to deal with a small fry like him, whom she had always regarded as an ant.

When her son saw First Young Miss Qin’s beauty and Xia Chan’s strength, he suddenly regretted it.

She regretted it too.

Then…

No one could get what her son could not.

Especially him, who she had always thought was a little b*stard who should live in the mud for the rest of his life and be trampled on by everyone.

How was he qualified to enjoy what should have belonged to her son?

He was not worthy.

Originally, he was not even worthy to think about it.

However, their plan had backfired and allowed him to get all that.

Also, her son was preparing for the exam now. If he was bothered by this marriage, then…

Therefore, she had to do everything she could to completely destroy him. If he did not die, her precious son would probably continue to suffer.

“Phew—”

Outside the window, the north wind moaned. The snow seemed to have stopped.

Luo Qingzhou’s imagination ran wild, and he did not feel sleepy at all.

He lay on the bed for a while longer. It was really uncomfortable.

He carefully got out of bed and helped to cover Xiao Die with the blanket. He put on his coat and went over to open the window to look outside.

The snow had indeed stopped.

A wave of cold air hit him and landed on his face and neck. A trace of coldness made him even more awake.

He suddenly focused his gaze and looked at the pear tree in the courtyard.

There was a figure standing there!

Dressed in a light green dress, her black hair reached her waist. She was beautiful and cold. She crossed her arms and held a sword in her arms. She stood there silently, motionless, like a statue.

Luo Qingzhou almost did not notice her.

What was she doing here in the middle of the night?

Did she not have a stomachache?

Luo Qingzhou was puzzled. He hesitated for a moment before closing the window. He put on his clothes, opened the door, and stepped out.

In the small courtyard, the wind was still very strong.

The girl under the pear tree turned sideways and looked elsewhere without moving as if she did not notice him coming out.

Luo Qingzhou walked close and cupped his hands. “Miss Xia Chan, what’s the matter?”

The girl’s pretty face was cold. She remained in the same posture as before, motionless and silent.

Luo Qingzhou looked up at her and thought for a while before saying, “You can’t sleep?”

The girl still said nothing.

Luo Qingzhou saw that her face was a little pale and advised, “It’s cold outside. Since you’re not feeling well, you should go back quickly.”

“Hmph!”

The girl finally spoke, but she snorted coldly and continued to look elsewhere.

Luo Qingzhou could not read her mind, nor could he read her thoughts. The girl’s face turned even paler after the wind blew over. After some thought, Luo Qingzhou turned around and went to the kitchen. He brought out a stove from the corner and started a charcoal fire.

A moment later, the fire was lit.

Luo Qingzhou shouted at the kitchen door. “Miss Xia Chan, if you can’t sleep, come in and warm yourself up. It’s cold outside.”

The girl was still holding her sword and standing in the cold wind. Her pretty face was cold as she ignored him.

Luo Qingzhou understood what he needed to do. “Miss Xia Chan, it’s cold outside, please come in and warm yourself up. I beg of you.”

Anyway, he was already used to it.

Furthermore, when he returned to the Chengguo Residence, this girl helped him vent his anger. The last time he went to the Chengguo Residence, this girl had protected him.

It was almost the new year.

At that time, he and First Young Miss Qin might have to go to the Chengguo Residence and they would need her accompaniment.

Although this girl’s personality was not likable, she was still quite useful.

Hence, he decided to go along with her.

“Hmph!”

The girl snorted and finally moved.

Luo Qingzhou hurriedly made way for her and retreated into the kitchen.

The girl entered the kitchen and stood in front of the stove with her sword in her arms. She was still as cold as ice.

Luo Qingzhou moved a small stool behind her and said, “Sit. I’ll get you a cup of hot water.”

With that, he left the kitchen and went to the living room.

There was a stove in the living room that was boiling water.

Luo Qingzhou took a cup, poured a glass of water, and returned to the kitchen.

In the kitchen.

The girl had already sat down. She was still holding her sword with a cold expression. When she saw him enter, her pretty face turned away and she looked elsewhere.

Luo Qingzhou handed over the hot water in his hand and said, “Miss Xia Chan, drink… I beg of you, please drink some water.”

The girl did not take it.

Luo Qingzhou could only carry it himself and stand at the side.

He suddenly saw another small stool placed beside the stove, an empty seat away from her.

However, he clearly remembered that this small stool was clearly placed in the corner just now.

Could it be…

He looked at the cold girl in front of him and hesitated for a moment before walking forward. “Um… Miss Xia Chan, can I sit down?” The girl turned her face away and said nothing.

If she did not snort, then she must have silently consented.

Luo Qingzhou held his teacup and sat down on the small stool. He glanced at her side profile and wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say.

In any case, he would not get a response no matter what.

At most, he would get a “hmph”.

Moreover, there was a risk of angering her at any time.

Therefore, it was better to keep his mouth shut.

The two of them sat in front of the stove. One of them was holding a teacup, while the other was holding a sword. One was looking at the stove while the other had her face turned away and was silent.

The night quietly passed.

The temperature in the stove slowly emitted in the dimly lit kitchen, quietly warming the silent and strange couple.

“Um, are you cold? Do you want me to help you put on a coat?”

“It’s getting late. Why don’t you go back to sleep?”

“It’s almost dawn…”

Throughout the night, Luo Qingzhou only said these three words, but he did not receive any response.

At dawn.

The girl finally stood up, held her sword, and left coldly. She still did not say a word.

Luo Qingzhou sat for a while more before turning off the stove and returning to the house.

Then, he took off his clothes and got into bed. He crawled under the blanket and hugged the warm and soft little girl.

How torturous.

He sat there in a daze the entire night. Was it not good to hug the little girl under the blanket and kiss her? Why did he have to go out?

He kissed Xiao Die’s smooth shoulder, wrapped the blanket tightly around them, and closed his eyes.

He slept until noon.

After lunch, he went to the stone chamber at the bottom of the lake to cultivate.

When he returned in the evening.

Xiao Die had already brought back a sumptuous dinner and told him, “Young Master, Bai Ling came just now. She said that she had a nightmare last night and is afraid of sleeping alone. She asked me to go over and sleep with her tonight.’

Luo Qingzhou was stunned. “What else did she say?

Xiao Die thought about it and shook her head. “No, that’s all. Young Master, I’ll warm your blanket for you tonight first. After that, I’ll go over.”

Luo Qingzhou pondered for a moment and said, “No need. You can go early.” Xiao Die did not think too much and agreed.

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and ate. He thought to himself, “She should already know that I suspect her. That’s why she deliberately tricked Xiao Die into staying with her tonight. That way, she would have an alibi. Then, when Xiao Die fell asleep, she might suddenly sneak over… to sleep with me?’

“How despicable!”
