Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: You Are the Only One in My Heart Seeing that her dear husband gave no reply, Xiaoxiao continued to support her chin with her hand, her head spinning rapidly with thoughts.

Could it be that a wealthy family’s daughter was ill and needed to recuperate in this countryside?

Or perhaps she took a fancy to someone here, and for the sake of love, followed him? Who among the local lads could possess such charm?

Upon seeing his wife’s distracted state, Yang Ming spoke, ”Wife, let’s go.”

”Don’t bother me.”

”...” His wife was so engrossed in her thoughts that she asked him not to disturb her; he shook his head helplessly and simply waited for her to snap out of it.

Xiaoxiao kept on pondering. That manager Li had come to the village to vie with her for workers and even bought the house she rented—wasn’t this deliberately targeting her?

She hadn’t offended him, so could it be because the miss had taken a fancy to her dear husband and saw her as a romantic rival? The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

She suddenly raised her head and asked her dear husband with a cool tone, ”Spill it, have you been attracting some unwanted love attention out there?”

Yang Ming was bewildered by his wife’s sudden questioning, ”What are you talking about?”

”That wealthy family’s daughter, she definitely has a thing for you after you provoked her. Now she’s come knocking, and look at how that manager Li has targeted me twice.”

”...” What on earth was going through his wife’s head? He didn’t know any wealthy family’s daughters.

And it wasn’t like manager Li was targeting her; she was the one who went up to compete with him for workers.

His wife needed to get a grip. He raised his hand and gently flicked her forehead, then said tenderly, ”Wife, you’re overthinking it.”

”Ouch.” How dare her dear husband flick her on the forehead, and in public no less, he was paying less attention to where they were; how embarrassing it must be for her with so many people watching.

Just as she thought to scold him, she heard him add, ”That wealthy family’s daughter is definitely not here for me.”

In this village, he might have a bit of charm, but outside, it was always Chu Lian who caught everyone’s eye, not him; he really didn’t think any young lady would come for him.

Seeing his wife remained silent, Yang Ming lowered his head and whispered into her ear, ”You are the only one in my heart.”

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat and her ears turned red. Her dear husband was no longer as staid as he used to be; he was now saying such things anytime and anywhere.

She felt herself sinking into her husband’s sweet nothings, unable to extricate herself.

Trying to hide her blushing cheeks, she didn’t look at him but continued to walk ahead, saying something hypocritical like, ”Indeed I was overthinking. You? You’re just someone I was blind enough to fall for.”

Hearing this, Yang Ming’s lips curled in a slight smile as he followed closely behind his wife, saying loud enough for her to hear, ”It’s good enough that you fell for me; no need for anyone else to.”

”...” Xiaoxiao grew even more embarrassed at his remark and quickened her steps back to their hut.

Of course, she knew her dear husband only had her in his heart. Her earlier interrogation was just to tease him, and she didn’t expect to end up teasing herself instead.

She thought she would forever be unable to out-talk her dear husband from now on.

As for the wealthy family’s daughter, maybe she really was overthinking it. She needed to observe whether manager Li was indeed targeting her; if that miss truly came for her dear husband, then, sorry but hmph.
