Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“l am not crying! You are crying!’
Shao Yunduan panicked. He said, “My fault, definitely my fault!”
“Of course it’s your fault! Men are not good!”
Shao Yunduan.
Shao Yunduan had no idea what happened. But he knew that his wife was not happy at the moment, which made him feel concerned.
He thought for a while and then said gently, “Other men have nothing to do with us. Tell me what is wrong with me, please?”
Qiao Xuan was so engaged in her imagination that she blurted out immediately. “You are going to marry a concubine!” Shao Yunduan was startled. “What? No, 1 am not?!”
He denied it instantly.
Qiao Xuan snorted. “You will, in the future!”
Shao Yunduan.
He was speechless. “l won’t in the future, either!”
Qiao Xuan did not believe him. “You a_re just saying nice words. When you become an officer, you will need a concubine to keep up your reputation. Or your colleagues and superiors give you one. You will need to accept them in case you offend them. Or your family will want you to have many children!” The more she thought about this, the sadder she became.
She believed that he had many reasons to accept concubines, but none to turn down one.
Shao Yunduan was startled.
Qiao Xuan’s heart sank, as she saw his reaction. She was so sad when she said, “Anyway, I don’t care, we are…”
Shao Yunduan covered her mouth before she finished her words.
Qiao Xuan glared at him furiously.
He was gagging her?!
“I won’t have any concubines.” Shao Yunduan sighed. “l don’t have any now. Nor will I have any in the future.”
Noble and rich people had this custom, but he did not. Why did he need a concubine?
He liked Qiao Xuan and he could not imagine that he would be close to anyone else. He was not used to being with anyone else. And she did not like it either.
Shao Yunduan did not think Qiao Xuan’s concern was wrong. Instead, he felt more worried about her. She was born a concubine’s daughter, thus hoping that he would not have any concubines.
Feeling pity for her, Shao Yunduan added. “1 will treat you well.”
Qiao Xuan was dumbfounded. She just realized that she had lost her temper for no reason.
She suddenly felt a little guilty and embarrassed.
Was he telling the truth?
“Is that true?”
“Of course!”
“If you ever lie…”
“l won’t.”
“What if…
“l won’t.”
“Then we will talk about this later.’
Shao Yunduan swallowed down all the promises he was about to make.
She did not need big promises. She needed to see what he did to her.
Shao Yunduan told himself inwardly that he was going to behave well.
He was not going to give her a chance to leave.
But Shao Yunduan was laughing bitterly. He thought that if he became the Recommended Man, then he could possibly finally confess his feelings towards her. Now it seemed that she could only accept him after he became the Advanced Scholar and assure her that he would never have a concubine.
Shao Yunduan promised to himself that he was definitely going to become an Advanced Scholar!
Only then would he be able to have her for real by his side..
