Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 190 - 190 190 Im Serious Too

?Chapter 190: Chapter 190: I’m Serious Too Chapter 190: Chapter 190: I’m Serious Too “When you told me you were transferring for work, it turns out you were coming here. What a coincidence, I just arrived and you’re here too,” Bai Xiao exclaimed, genuinely unaware that An Zhiyuan’s transfer was to the same place.

Yet she felt a hint of unease. What if she hadn’t been in this province?

Something seemed off about this!

An Zhiyuan laughed softly, touching the top of her head, “I specifically found out you were coming here to study before I transferred. Did you really think such coincidences happen in the world?” He was not someone who did things without talking about them, besides, he felt he must explain this.

Bai Xiao leaned against him like a child.

That trusting and letting herself go.

“An Zhiyuan, I’m having second thoughts!”

Her tone surprised him, his muscles tensed, making her immediately realize his nervousness, and her palms soothingly caressed An Zhiyuan’s shoulders.

“What are you second-guessing?”

He didn’t realize how stiff his tone was.

“What do you think?” Bai Xiao teased playfully, actually enjoying it inside. This man really cared about her. As a woman, if she didn’t have even this little bit of vanity, she might as well be dead.

“Playing unfair, is it?” He said this as his deep, dark eyes stared unwaveringly at her.

Bai Xiao suddenly felt guilty.

With An Zhiyuan like this, she felt it was a bit inappropriate to joke around.

His serious demeanor made it clear that this man was not Fang Xiaoshan or those men who wanted to control or appease her. This man was sincerely treating her, and her attitude indeed had been frivolous. Already having a liking for him and knowing that their entanglement was inevitably complicated, yet she was still posturing.

“An Zhiyuan, I can’t let you leave me anymore, I’m prepared to monopolize you for the rest of my life. You’ll probably only be able to marry me,” Bai Xiao said impulsively, not sure why, perhaps because of the focused expression in An Zhiyuan’s calm eyes.

Her wrist was seized by him and pulled to his chest with such force that she staggered forward unexpectedly, crashing right into his arms.

Bai Xiao struggled forcefully, trying to push him away, but ended up being held even tighter.

An Zhiyuan, watching the panic on Bai Xiao’s face, felt a calm settle over him. She didn’t seem as indifferent to him as he had imagined. His mood no longer felt so terrible, his expression softened, but his arms tightened around her more as he whispered in her ear, “I’m very pleased to marry you. I’ve already filed the marriage report; it should happen soon.”

Bai Xiao’s face turned red instantly, “Why would you do that? You didn’t even ask for my opinion!” Her agreeing was one thing, but An Zhiyuan deciding independently was another.

An Zhiyuan released her, looking at the lasting bruises on her wrist he had caused, visibly upset, holding her wrist with a look of discomfort.

“Your skin is too delicate!”

This girl was like a tender flower that seemed like it could be scarred by the slightest storm, yet she was clearly so strong, strong in a way that one could hardly imagine her power.

“You can’t grab me like that next time; using brute force on me could hurt me.” Bai Xiao raised her wrists demonstratively, demanding his guilt.

“I’m sorry!” This time, An Zhiyuan completely lost his temper.

Bai Xiao threw back the blankets, wanting to find her shoes, but An Zhiyuan held her back, knelt down, and brought her the shoes, carefully putting them on for her, “Aren’t you cold now?”

He was still worried; this woman looked disheveled every time he saw her.

Bai Xiao nodded her head, stood up, and wiped her forehead, “No wonder you said it’s as hot as a desert, it really is, I’ve started to sweat.” At this moment, she could feel it was unbearably hot inside.

An Zhiyuan went to turn off the air conditioning, then opened a window, turned around, and folded the blanket neatly, like a tofu block sliced neatly, which stunned Bai Xiao.

The speed was indeed astonishing.

“Let’s go, it’s time to eat; it’s noon now. You have to eat something. I don’t know what else to say; you always look like this when you’re healing. What are we going to do in the future?” An Zhiyuan was cheerful now, his tone joyful. The feeling of mutual understanding made him feel like Bai Xiao at least liked him, which thrilled him to death.

Could this be what’s called mutual affection?

Bai Xiao became a bit embarrassed, this man was unbearably gentle. In this age, how could there be a man like An Zhiyuan, without a hint of male chauvinism, careful and gentle, and yet with a cold, abstinent face, truly a man of two extremes.

“Actually, it’s okay. I just drank some hot water and had some chocolate. It’s just that the child was in a serious condition. I definitely won’t get myself into this state next time, I’ll just come to you for warmth!” Bai Xiao found it odd; An Zhiyuan had rushed over this time, and although she was nearly freezing to death, An Zhiyuan seemed like an antidote and a source of fire, melting away all the cold as she got close.

The hot water and chocolate were really not much help earlier; it wasn’t that they weren’t effective, just that they were far less effective compared to other days.

She knew it too; this was a negative effect of forcibly stopping her special ability being intensified, thankful that An Zhiyuan was by her side, feeling really fortunate. An Zhiyuan seemed to be her savior, truly blessed with the protagonist’s halo.

An Zhiyuan watched seriously as she took off her white coat and put on a coat over it. The weather in November was dead cold, and he buttoned up her coat for her, earnestly saying again that he didn’t want Bai Xiao to accept him just because she couldn’t bear to hurt him by rejecting his sacrifices. Although he was delighted by such Bai Xiao, he didn’t want to bind her like that.

“Bai Xiao, I just want to say one thing, you can still regret this now, but once you said we should start, you don’t have the right to say it’s over. I’m a man who sticks to his principles; once I’m committed to someone, there’s no way I can let go! No way at all!”

She glanced at him sidelong, her fingers pressing on his, cool but smooth, “An Zhiyuan, I’m serious too, and I’m also a person who sticks to my principles. Once I’ve said we should start, I won’t think about ending it. If you ever betray me one day, I’ll kill you, so think it through properly! I’m absolutely not joking; my love is severe, and it does not tolerate any other betrayal. In such a case, I would choose a mutually destructive approach. With this side of me, do you still dare to want me?” She was deadly serious; it’s rare to start life over; she could have compassion for the patients because she figured it out—those people didn’t owe her anything, and it wasn’t their responsibility to compensate for old grievances.

She understood the value of life; she could start over, but that didn’t mean everyone could.

But facing marriage and love was different; the consequences Fang Xiaoshan faced in her previous life were too severe, and in this life, she wouldn’t let anyone hurt her like that again. If she saw any harm coming, she might end it with drastic measures, since she could make anyone die silently without being entangled in lawsuits.
