Chapter 1775: Chapter 1775: Can You Not Keep…
Xue Bai originally knew quite a bit from Xue Shi and Emperor Hao, and now that he knew even more, his mood naturally wasn’t great. Hanging his head, Nian Nian, he said, “Brother, Shoushou, if that child really isn’t mine, and if I still speak a word in her favor, then you guys really shouldn’t bother with me anymore, I truly deserve it.”
Xue Shi said, “Didn’t you promise us? If it turns out that way, you won’t speak for her or bother with her anymore, right? Isn’t that enough? We’ll handle it when the time comes. Okay, go to the Shengming Academy and look for Wenwan again. You need to tell Wenwan about this personally. If Wenwan hears about it from someone else, her mood will definitely be different. Talk to Wenwan properly, she believes in you just like we do, that you never laid a hand on that girl. Wenwan also knows you’re too nice, and fears that if the child really is yours, it’s because she likes that aspect of you and won’t blame you. Still, you have to really sweet-talk her because no matter what, this kind of thing would concern her. After all, she’s practically your wife, and which wife wouldn’t mind this kind of thing? If she didn’t care, it would mean she doesn’t like you. If I liked someone and someone even jokingly said that person was paired with someone else, I’d be unhappy too. Moreover, now Wu Lingxi is staying at our house, there’s bound to be some discomfort in her heart.”
“Yeah,” Xue Bai nodded.
“You don’t need to worry about the family matters, Shoushou and I will speak for you at home.”
“Yeah,” Xue Bai nodded again.
Then, Xue Bai went back to the Shengming Academy, while Xue Shi and Emperor Hao talked to the family about the matter, first going to the main shop to inform Xue Sifu, and then returning to Locust Village.
...Xue Yifu now only visited the carpenter shop in town every few days. Today, naturally, he wasn’t at the carpenter shop. He was under the shed in the yard at home, knocking and hammering away, creating whatever wooden object he felt like making, entirely depending on his mood.
Xue Shi and Emperor Hao had barely left town and hadn’t reached their home in Locust Village when Xue Bai had already arrived at Shengming Academy and found Yang Wenwan.
Xue Bai told Yang Wenwan everything in all honesty.
Yang Wenwan was understanding, but she still had some knots in her heart. After all, she truly liked Xue Bai, and at this moment, Wu Lingxi was still clinging to Xue Bai; she couldn’t be completely indifferent.
Seeing Yang Wenwan lower her head, Xue Bai also felt uneasy, “I’m sorry, I’m useless.”
Yang Wenwan shook her head but still kept it lowered, “I don’t blame you. I’ve known what kind of person you are for a long time, and I’m not at all surprised that you would do this. It’s just…” Speaking, she eventually looked up, her eyes rimming with red, “If we get past this issue, in the future, can you please not be so kind-hearted?”
She knew he was kind, and she didn’t deny that she really liked his kindness, but she couldn’t accept kindness to the point of letting others take advantage of it repeatedly.
Before Xue Bai could speak, she continued, her voice choking up, “If you can’t do that, then at least when everyone in the family opposes something, please back down a bit, and don’t insist on your own thoughts. I’m not saying you can’t have your own thoughts and persistence, but in a family of so many clever people, if they all object and resist something, if Wu Lingxi was good, would they react so strongly? Clearly, your insistence and ideas are foolish beyond measure. If your insistence and ideas were right, wouldn’t your family support you? Although I’m not yet a part of your family, I’ve already come to understand this. You grew up in that family, so you should know this better than I do.”
