[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 49

Chapter 49: Tender Affection

Until the end of the month, Xue Mu practiced the several sets of martial arts she learned from Xue Duanhun day and night, and her strength had improved greatly. Coupled with the fact that she used the mantras Wu Qing taught her to circulate her internal energy, the Raging Tide Poison in her body was very stable. She thought that after some time, she could ask her master how to take out the Heart-Devouring Gu. In this way, she would have one less threat.

Since teaching her the mantras, Wu Qing came to the Xue Star Tower to drink less often, only two or three times in ten days. Dugu Yuan’an had also come and met Wu Qing. Neither of them showed any strange behavior when seeing each other. Wu Qing drank wine and only clamored to hear Mu Ruo sing.

Seeing Dugu Yuan’an unperturbed, Xue Mu knew that this Dharma King Wu Qing had nothing to do with her poisoning. However, she also realized a problem: how could Yuan’er distinguish whether this Wu Qing was the person who poisoned her?

She felt she had grasped a clue, but deep down she believed it wouldn’t be like that.

On the last day of the month, Wu Qing didn’t come to the Xue Star Tower, but it happened to be the day of Mu Ruo’s evening talk session. Xue Mu felt sorry for him. After watching the evening talk session, Xue Mu bought a few sticks of candied haws from the street. Returning to the Dugu Manor, she used her lightness skill to rush towards the bridal chamber she shared with Yuan’er.

She passed through the garden silently, but heard two very soft voices seeming to be arguing about something, apparently coming from the direction of the rockery. So she stopped and hid under an old tree, listening attentively.

“Are you… sure?” It seemed to be Madam Dugu asking in a low voice. The other party didn’t answer again. It was quiet over by the rockery for a moment. Just when Xue Mu thought they had realized someone was in the garden and stopped talking, Madam Dugu’s voice rang out again, “…Investigate clearly first, you can’t abandon everything.”

As soon as the voice fell, Xue Mu saw a black shadow flash past from behind the rockery, leaping towards the high wall. She didn’t even see clearly if the toes touched the ground before the person disappeared into the darkness. Knowing her lightness skill was no match for that person in black, she sneaked out of the garden and walked towards the small courtyard.

Xue Mu really didn’t expect to overhear the conversation between Madam Dugu and someone else again. Returning to the small courtyard, she put the candied haws on the table and looked at the bed. Dugu Yuan’an was leaning against the headboard, closing her eyes quietly. So she walked over softly, listening to her gentle breathing.

Asleep? Xue Mu extended an index finger tentatively, waving it in front of Dugu Yuan’an. Just as she was about to shout to scare her, Dugu Yuan’an suddenly opened her dark eyes. Then Xue Mu’s vision spun, her lower back controlled by a huge internal force—her whole body was flipped and pressed onto the inner side of the bed!

In her field of vision, Dugu Yuan’an’s face magnified before her eyes. Immediately after, a warm softness landed on her lips. Who knows how long passed until Xue Mu couldn’t breathe, her cheeks flushed red, mumbling, before Dugu Yuan’an let go of her.

Xue Mu gasped for breath. Seeing Dugu Yuan’an’s eyes flashing, she said indignantly, “Why did you kiss me so hard?”

Dugu Yuan’an licked her lips, revealing a satisfied smile.

“Madam only knows how to practice kung fu and run her own business every day, completely forgetting me, this newlywed wife, in the Dugu Manor,” she said accusatory words, but her tone was extremely gentle.

Xue Mu rolled over from under her, got out of bed to get the candied haws on the table. “I bought you something delicious!”

Dugu Yuan’an looked at the hawthorn balls coated in bright red sugar and shook her head. “Don’t want it.”

Xue Mu said, “Eat.”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Won’t eat.”

Xue Mu said, “If you don’t eat, I won’t let you kiss me in the future.”

Dugu Yuan’an sighed. “Why are you so roguish?”

Xue Mu rolled her eyes. “Who is roguish? I bought it for you, so you have to eat it. Otherwise I’ll feed you?”

Dugu Yuan’an thought for a moment, somewhat troubled. “Mu’er, even if you feed me, I won’t eat.”

Ignoring her trouble, Xue Mu directly bit off half a sugar ball. The sweet and sour taste of hawthorn instantly filled her mouth. Xue Mu cupped Dugu Yuan’an’s cheeks and fed the sugar ball she was holding in her mouth into hers.

The sugar shell rubbed against Dugu Yuan’an’s lips. She dodged at first, but later let Xue Mu have her way, opening her mouth to hold the sugar ball and chewing slowly. “Satisfied?”

Xue Mu grinned. “You said you wouldn’t eat, but you clearly like it.”

Dugu Yuan’an swallowed the hawthorn ball. A little bit of fine sugar crumbs still stuck to her lips. Seeing this, Xue Mu was moved and leaned over to taste the flavor on her lips. “So sweet.”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled. “Your mouth is the sweetest.”

Xue Mu snorted. “If I weren’t sweet, but had a strange taste, could you still kiss me?”

Dugu Yuan’an actually pondered, then said, “If it had a strange taste, then I might have to wash Mu’er’s mouth thoroughly to see if you stole something to eat that caused the strange taste.”

Xue Mu shouted, “Alright! You’re mocking me!”

She threw herself onto Dugu Yuan’an. The two laughed together, playing on the bed for a while. Xue Mu touched Dugu Yuan’an’s knees, stroking them gently, and murmured, “Yuan’er, when my Fire Poison is dissolved, I’ll use my internal energy to warm you up properly.”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Forget it. With your little kung fu, it’s hard to even win against bad guys.”

Xue Mu said angrily, “You just look down on me. Who do you think I, Xue Mu, am?”

Dugu Yuan’an kissed her and said, “My wife.”

Xue Mu: “You… you teased me on purpose again. It seems I really have to tear down your Dugu Manor!”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled slightly and said, “If Mu’er wants to tear it down, then tear it down. As long as you are happy.”

Xue Mu stared at her for a few seconds and couldn’t help sighing. “You really are… How did I fall for you?”

Hearing this, Dugu Yuan’an’s eyes deepened. She tapped Xue Mu’s lips lightly with her index finger and whispered, “Mu’er, I must make you fall for me. Except for me, you are not allowed to like anyone else. You can only marry me, not be with anyone else.”

Xue Mu sighed. “Alright, alright! You wanted me to marry you and not be with anyone else. You have succeeded, triumphed! I am already your wife, how can I be with anyone else?”

Dugu Yuan’an’s tone was calm, but revealed a firmness bordering on stubbornness. “Even if you are with someone else, I will snatch you back. Even if you have a baby with someone else, I will bring you back to the Dugu Manor to be only my wife.”

Xue Mu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “So you mean, if I have a baby, you will still force a marriage, then take only me away and throw the baby away?”

Without thinking, Dugu Yuan’an said, “Yes!” Then she corrected herself, “If you insist on taking the little baby away, I will raise that child carefully as my own, but the premise is that you must be by my side. You are the child’s mother, and I will be the child’s other mother.”

Hearing this, Xue Mu was both amused and moved. She could only hug Dugu Yuan’an and extinguish the red candles on the table with a blast of palm force.

“Yuan’er, let’s rest.”
