Marrying a White Snake Wife is Super Cool

Chapter 343: Chapter 195: Why Did I Sleep In So Late? Where Did Brother Go?

’This foolish boy doesn’t know how to talk at all. What does he mean, "You’re worthy of me"?’ Su Liyan thought as she listened to her brother. The words just didn’t sit right with her.

Both Xiaoqian and Su Changliang belonged to the Half-demon Race.

Xiaoqian was of the Fox Race, blessed with a bewitching face and a graceful figure. She was a natural-born dancer, skilled at captivating others.

’If he married her and kept her happy, wouldn’t he be the one reaping all the benefits?’

Su Liyan felt that the Little Fox was more than a match for her brother.

Su Changliang, who was usually quite sharp, always found himself flustered around Xiaoqian.

Su Liyan quickly kicked Su Changliang under the table, cutting him off. "Aha! So you were eavesdropping on us!"

The kick from his sister made Su Changliang instantly realize his blunder. He slapped his own mouth lightly and hurried to say, "I... I don’t know what I’m saying. That was all nonsense. Xiaoqian, I... I really like you!"

Xiaoqian heard his words but didn’t immediately respond.

Seeing this, Su Changliang worried she might reject him and quickly continued, "Xiaoqian, spending these past few days with you... I have to admit, I’m completely captivated by you."

He took a sip of tea before continuing. "Whenever we’re apart, I can’t help but think of you—of your every smile and frown. Maybe I’ve liked you since the first moment I saw you. That day we bumped into each other... it wasn’t just a physical collision. You crashed right into my heart."

Su Changliang’s speech contained no flowery language, but it was filled with immense sincerity.

’Not bad,’ Su Liyan thought, impressed. ’He usually seems so dense, but he’s surprisingly smooth when he decides to pour his heart out. My own husband has never said things like that to me.’

As Xiaoqian listened to Su Changliang, tears welled up in her eyes. She tilted her head back slightly, trying to keep them from falling.

Xiaoqian was someone desperately starved for affection; she was defenseless against this kind of earnest confession.

His speech, lasting only a minute or two, left Xiaoqian completely flustered.

Observing their expressions, Su Liyan rejoiced inwardly. ’This is pretty much a done deal.’

Xiaoqian’s nose tingled as she fought back tears. "Brother," she said, her voice trembling, "I... I’m no longer a maiden. I’ve lost my innocence. I’m truly not worthy of you!"

This was, after all, a very traditional and conservative era.

Su Changliang was stunned to hear this. Yet, he felt no anger or unwillingness, only curiosity about the reason why.

Su Changliang trusted his gut. Xiaoqian wasn’t a frivolous woman.

At that, Su Liyan stepped in and briefly explained the whole story on Xiaoqian’s behalf.

After hearing the story, Su Changliang’s heart ached for the Little Fox and her tragic ordeal.

Disregarding the fact that his sister was still there, Su Changliang stood up and pulled Xiaoqian into his arms.

Xiaoqian remained seated, unmoving, resting her head against his stomach and soaking in the warmth he offered.

Su Changliang might have been completely inexperienced, but that didn’t mean he was clueless.

He had seen how his brother-in-law, Lu Yuan, treated his sister.

Xiaoqian was deeply moved by his actions. She wrapped her arms around his waist and finally broke down in tears.

"Big Brother~" Xiaoqian wept with joy for a moment.

Su Changliang wiped the Little Fox’s tears. "There, there, Sister," he said. "I’ll be truly good to you."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Su Liyan let out a long, deep breath. The weight in her heart had finally lifted.

’Her little brother’s life as a bachelor is finally coming to an end. His marriage is settled.’

In this place, as long as a couple took a liking to each other, their parents would soon meet to discuss the betrothal gifts and dowry, and a wedding would follow shortly after.

There was no such thing as a long courtship, trial cohabitation, or any of that nonsense.

People in this era didn’t have the luxury to focus on such things; for most, it was simply a man and a woman partnering up to get by.

Only wealthy families could afford to care about the ceremony and ritual of a wedding.

For common people, even the discussion of betrothal gifts and dowries was simple. Most of the time, they just consisted of daily necessities like pots and pans.

Su Liyan broke the tender moment. "Alright, this isn’t the place for pillow talk. If you two have secrets to whisper, you don’t need to do it in front of your big sister."

Su Changliang heard this and said, "Okay, Sis! We won’t disturb you then. I’ll take Xiaoqian out."

Before Su Liyan could even finish, Su Changliang grabbed Xiaoqian’s hand and bolted, not even bothering to close the door behind him.

Watching the two of them run out, Su Liyan sighed. ’It’s true what they say: once a man finds a wife, he forgets his own mother. They’re not even official yet, and he’s already forgotten all about his big sister.’

Later, Su Liyan told Lu Yuan what had happened.

Lu Yuan praised his wife for her skill, marveling that she could even find a wife for her little brother.

Su Liyan proudly puffed out her chest and shot Lu Yuan a playful look. "But of course. I’m a woman of many talents now, you know."

「One early morning」

Su Liyan was still fast asleep while Lu Yuan found himself wide awake.

There was a slight chill in the late autumn air.

Lu Yuan sat up in bed, watching his wife. She was sleeping deeply, her clothes in disarray, head tilted to one side. Her small mouth was slightly agape, and soft breaths escaped her lips.

’Looking at her now, it had to be because of last night,’ Lu Yuan mused. ’After her atavistic transformation, she was in a state of high excitement for a long time. Plus, she was the one riding on top, so she must have used up a lot of energy.’

’They say that particular ’game for two’ is quite the workout—ten minutes of it is supposedly like running two kilometers. I have no idea if that’s true.’

’I hadn’t planned on a round last night, but Su Liyan wasn’t about to let me off the hook.’

’I’ve always been one to grant my wife’s every request. But thinking I had to wake up early this morning, I let her do all the work to conserve my own energy.’
