Chapter 144 – Stay (3)

Li Mo suddenly felt uncomfortable with directly looking at her bright, limpid eyes. “That day, when I saved you in the slave market, it was actually because I wanted you to be our family’s wife.”

Even though she had already heard the truth from Mudan, she still felt a bit faint when Li Mo repeated the story to her. Her lips trembled. She didn’t know what to say.

Seeing her gaze fixed on the ground, not saying word, and not reacting at all, Li Mo thought she didn’t understand the full implication. He slowly explained, “To… be our family’s… shared wife.”

Li Man wanted to pretend that she hadn’t heard anything, but in the end, she still raised her head and looked him in the eye. “Shared wife?”

Something flickered in Li Mo’s eyes. He averted his gaze. He had originally wanted to say that if she wasn’t willing, he would let her go. However, when those words reached his lips, it turned into this instead, “Don’t worry. Even though our family is poor right now, we won’t stay poor forever. We’ll work hard to earn money so that you can have a good life. We’ll treat you well. No one will mistreat you. We…”

This was the first time that he said these type of words in front of a woman, Li Mo was surprised that he hadn’t stuttered. However, at the end, his voice had turned pleading without him noticing “Can… Can you stay?”

Li Man’s mind was buzzing. Actually, even after she had found out about the matter of being a shared wife, she hadn’t thought about leaving. She just temporarily couldn’t accept the facts yet.

However, seeing that she hadn’t shown any reaction to his words, Li Mo felt his heart was hanging on a hook. He silently looked at her and didn’t dare to say anything. He was scared that if he said another word, she would raise her head and tell him that she was going to leave.

However, at this moment, Little Five came inside with a bowl of water. “Oldest brother, the water is ready.”

Li Mo’s heart skipped a beat. He secretly thought that Little Five had returned at a bad time. He meaningfully looked at him and said, “Still too hot, right? Go out and come back once it cools down.”

Little Five was a clever child. He immediately nodded and replied, “It is hot. I’ll come back later.” After saying this, he hastily left.

Although Li Man hadn’t raised her head, she could sense that something fishy had happened between the two brothers. Her lips curved up without her noticing, and she chuckled. Honestly, if there wasn’t the issue of being shared wife, then she liked this family and their home.

“Actually…” She slowly raised her head.

Li Mo’s entire body immediately tensed up when he heard her quiet voice.

“When I first heard this news, it was really hard to accept it.”

What did she mean? Li Mo felt unsure and looked at her without blinking.

Li Man’s eyes were half lowered. She explained, “Actually, what I want to say is that when I was on the mountain, I had all sorts of wild thoughts. Of course, in those thoughts, I also considered leaving your home.”

Li Mo’s abruptly grabbed he quilt. Was she going to leave after all?

“But.” Li Man’s words took a turn. She continued, “Even though we haven’t know each other for long, I really like it here.”

Li Mo’s hand relaxed, but his heart remained frozen in suspension. “Then… does that mean you’re willing?”
