Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Two Souls, One Body ( 1 )
Before Ling Yun could tell her that she could just cook a simple meal for him, Pan Meijia said in a low voice, “I’m learning to cook, and I will cook your meal from now on. However, I can’t guarantee the taste.”

After hearing her words, Ling Yun’s mood soared. Doesn’t telling him this mean telling him that her feelings for him were more than friends? If a girl learns to cook for a man, if that’s not a romantic feeling, what is?

Ling Yun felt happy and chuckled. He couldn’t help but reach out to squeeze her palm and said, “Then I’ll leave my future meal to your hands.”

“Su… sure! Leave it to me!” Pan Meijia blushed and stammered. Feeling embarrassed, she turned and ran away.

Seeing her running away shyly, Ling Yun shook his head and chuckled. He walked over to the tree, placed her package together with their bamboo baskets, and continued working. Because he was in a good mood, he felt energized and worked faster than usual.

At the same time, in the capital, in the ward of the People’s Hospital, Xiao Yiqing was lying on the bed with a pale face. She grasped the sheets tightly with both hands and asked with disbelief, “Brother, what did you say?”

Xiao Yiguan sat on the chair beside the bed and looked at his sister with mixed emotions. He was already investigating his sister’s matter from before she left the capital to the day she left Xie village. Her sister told her that Pan Meijia insisted on following her to Xie village in order to get into her good side. But in fact, it was his sister who pestered Pan Meijia to accompany her.

In addition to that lie, his sister also told him countless lies, which made his impression of Pan Meijia even worse.

Xiao Yiguan also discovered that his sister not only stole the villager’s eggs but also used his father’s and his status to threaten Pan Meijia and the villagers. If this matter was known to his superiors, it would not only ruin his career but also cause trouble to the Xiao family.

But the most outrageous thing she did was to encourage Su Anna to hurt Lu Jueyu, and finally harmed Huang Yuanfeng. He couldn’t understand how his gentle and kind sister could turn into a person full of jealousy, hatred, and viciousness.

If it weren’t for her face and voice, he might have thought the person in front of him was a stranger pretending to be his sister. He could barely recognize the person in front of him as his sister.

After a long time, he said, “Qingqing, our parents have arranged your marriage. Although this is his second marriage and he is older than you, he knows your situation and is willing to marry you. Be good and listen to our parents.”

Xiao Yiqing bit her lip until it bled, and said, “Based on what? Who gives you the right to decide my future?! I’ve already told you, my husband is Li Chenmo, and I will not marry anyone else!”

Hearing her words, Xiao Yiguan frowned and said, “Qingqing, stop making trouble. That person is already married, so stop thinking about it.”

Xiao Yiqing was irritated by his words and sat up suddenly. Xiao Yiguan reached out to help her, but she slapped his hand away and shouted, “Why should I stop? I am the one who supposedly married Li Chenmo! That bitch Lu Jueyu robbed my man! She is the one who should stop her wishful thinking and die!”

Xiao Yiguan clenched his reddened hand and looked at his sister with disappointment. Although the doctor had told their family about her emotional instability, she should have known that if she refused the marriage, she would have to marry Yang Lichao. Otherwise, she would be sent to prison for adultery.

Unless the Xiao family reported the matter and charged Yang Lichao with rape, there was no other way to stop the marriage. However, the Xiao family is not just their parents, him, and her. But also their grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins.

In a family like the Xiao family, marriage between children is a tool for the family to increase its power. From the beginning, they had no right to decide on their own marriage. Not to mention that she has lost her virginity and therefore lost her value. Her only choice is to marry the person designated by her parents or be expelled from the Xiao family.

Xiao Yiguan took a deep breath and said, “Qingqing, you know that our marriage cannot be decided by ourselves. As descendants of the Xiao family, we have enjoyed a lot of privilege due to our family background since birth. But we also have to shoulder our responsibilities.”

Xiao Yiqing stared at him with red eyes. She is clearly living in a different world now, but why does she still not have the right to decide her own life? She doesn’t want to admit defeat. There must be a way!

Thinking that his sister finally calmed down, Xiao Yiguan advised, “Qingqing, this man is really good. Except for his age, everything about him is good. It is better to marry him than to marry the man chosen by our grandfather.”

Knowing that she could not change his and their parents’ minds, Xiao Yiqing lowered her head and said, “Give me some time to think about it.”

Seeing her dejected look, Xiao Yiguan said helplessly, “Okay. You can think about it slowly and get more rest.”

With that, he left the room. Xiao Yiqing bit her nails and muttered, “What should I do, what should I do? There must be a way. I can’t believe that I can’t change my fate!”

The next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her head. She hugged her head, and shouted, “Ah!! I told you to shut up! You are just a weak soul, how dare you go against me?!”
