“Of course! Why would you even think such a thing? Your imagination is running wild.” Holding onto the steering wheel, Li Jinnan gave a helpless smile. “Second brother would beat me to death if he heard about this.”
Li Sicheng was a very possessive man. If he ever found out that someone harbored feelings for his wife, he would immediately beat that person to death. There would be no room for negotiation and no exceptions, even if the man was his younger brother.
Not even if it was just a misunderstanding.
“But I can’t help feeling this way.” Ye Youyou pouted slightly. “Besides, I always feel that you speak so vaguely at home.”
“What was it that I said?”
“You said that other women would have remarried, so were you trying to say that if it were me, I would have remarried too?” There was a hint of accusation and displeasure in Ye Youyou’s voice.
Li Jinnan felt extremely aggrieved. “Since when did I imply this?” he replied indignantly. “I merely felt sorry for Second Sister-in-law.”
He turned and looked at Ye Youyou.
Ye Youyou looked slightly frail, and Li Jinnan could tell that she hadn’t been sleeping well.
Li Jinnan sighed softly and said, “Dear, don’t let your imagination run wild. I love you and only you. You’re the only one I’ve ever loved. There’s never been anyone else.”
When Ye Youyou heard this, she looked a little better. However, there was still a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Li Jinnan looked at Ye Youyou and continued saying, “Back then, Second Sister-in-law managed Second Brother’s pany all by herself. It wasn’t easy for her, because she was pregnant and had to stay up late to read through proposals and give suggestions. Second Sister-in-law was pregnant with twins, and her stomach was much bigger than that of other pregnant women. She also reacted to things more strongly, and her back and legs often ached. She couldn’t even sit. My heart simply went out to her.”
Li Jinnan sounded slightly melancholic when he said this. “Initially, Second Sister-in-law didn’t need to take on such a heavy responsibility. If Second Brother had been there, not only would she not have needed to do those things, but she also could have had an easy and blissful life. That’s why I felt indignant for her.”
“You’ve been pretty clear about that,” Ye Youyou said sourly, and turned her head away.
Li Jinnan chuckled softly and said, “Back then, Second Sister-in-law and I were the only ones who managed the pany, so of course I’ve been clear about that. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I have my current capability because of Second Sister-in-law’s guidance.”
When Ye Youyou heard this, she felt even more unfortable. “In other words, you spent every single moment with Su Qianci during those four years?”
“We had to see each other every single day, and we spent most of our time together during those four years.
“No wonder… you developed feelings for Su Qianci.”
“Youyou,” Li Jinnan said softly. “If I had any feelings for Second Sister-in-law, that was a long time ago. The reason why nothing happened was because the situation didn’t allow for it.”
“If the situation allowed for it now, would you let it happen?”
Ye Youyou asked the question reflexively, but once she said this, she found it slightly inappropriate.
Ye Youyou secretly bit her own tongue, feeling a little exasperated.
Li Jinnan took one glance at her and said, “There wouldn’t be such an instance.”
“Huh?”
“Once she is my sister-in-law, she’ll always be my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law can only be my sister-in-law.”
Ye Youyou calmed down pletely. She looked at Li Jinnan and said softly, “I’m sorry.”
“Yeah?”
“I was being too extreme. I felt like you were referring to me.” Ye Youyou felt a little bitter. “I know this is my second marriage. It’s because of you that I was able to divorce Shen Luo’an so easily. So you might think that if another man seduced me, there’s the possibility I’d leave you, too.”
