Chapter 59

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Bai Xiuxiu had misunderstood him, she pulled him onto the bed.

Then, right in front of him, she put both of their quilts into the storage cabinet within her spatial realm.

The items disappearing out of thin air left Wang Qinghe stunned.

"This..."

He was utterly shocked.

Seeing his reaction, Bai Xiuxiu smiled smugly at him. "What do you think? Impressive, isn't it?"

As she spoke, she retrieved the items from thin air once more.

Wang Qinghe, seeing his wife's actions, snapped out of his shock. "Xiuxiu, this is also part of your spatial realm?"

"Mm." Bai Xiuxiu recounted the process of upgrading her spatial realm today and explained the precautions he needed to take with the storage cabinet.

Wang Qinghe looked at the bracelet on his wife's wrist, becoming increasingly wary of it.

Such a powerful object was beyond comprehension, whether seen firsthand or heard about.

Herbal medicines were life-saving substances. With this object, while it might not make precious herbs as common as street trash, it could still accumulate unimaginable wealth.

Similarly, it could also bring unpredictable dangers.

Seeing his wife smile without any burden or fear, Wang Qinghe felt a chill run down his spine and made up his mind.

He had to separate from the Wang family as soon as possible. No wall was entirely soundproof; if Xiuxiu's treasure became known to others...

Wang Qinghe dared not imagine the consequences.

"Xiuxiu, let's use your spatial realm less frequently for now. We can reconsider after we've separated from the family, alright?" Wang Qinghe discussed with Bai Xiuxiu.

Bai Xiuxiu, seeing his concern, guessed what he was thinking.

After all, she had been lingering behind him as Wandering Spirit for so long. Even if they weren't completely in sync, she knew some of his thoughts.

"Don't worry, I'll listen to you." Bai Xiuxiu did not refuse Wang Qinghe's request. After all, her money was still sufficient, and ginseng required time to grow.

In a small place like theirs, frequent sales of herbal medicines would draw unwanted attention.

They should wait until they had left Xiahe Village, or even this county, before the bracelet spatial realm could be put to greater use.

Seeing that his wife had no other concerns, Wang Qinghe felt somewhat relieved. He held her hand and spoke to her solemnly yet gently. "Xiuxiu, can I help you plan its usage?"

"Why not? I told you about it because I trust you," Bai Xiuxiu agreed immediately.

If it were her previous life, she would never have agreed. Her things belonged to her alone. Even after being married to Wang Qinghe for several years, she would not have trusted him. To her, she always came first, followed by her two children.

However, she had returned from her past life and observed this man for decades. Over those decades, even an iceberg would have melted under the intensity of his feelings for her.

Even in death, this man would never betray her.

After all, that was precisely what he had done in her previous life.

A person who had given his life for her and possessed great abilities, and was also the father of her two children—why wouldn't she trust him?

Bai Xiuxiu didn't say anything overly emotional, but just this one sentence moved Wang Qinghe immensely.

This was the first time Xiuxiu had shown such trust in him.

Xiuxiu had been educated and had insight. She understood how valuable this object was. Yet, she still trusted him. Indeed, although Xiuxiu didn't often express it, she must have feelings for him.

Thinking about this filled Wang Qinghe's heart with sweetness.

"There's something more important than this object that I need to discuss with you. Come sit properly on the bed. Isn't it tiring to have your feet dangling?" Bai Xiuxiu said, moving further into the bed.

Wang Qinghe obediently climbed onto the bed. "Xiuxiu, go ahead."

He couldn't think of anything more important than this matter.

"Do you remember what Aunt Feng said previously?" Bai Xiuxiu asked him.

Wang Qinghe nodded. "I remember. Aunt Feng mentioned quite a few things."

"Yes, every time Aunt Feng says something about not being too harsh, our parents don't dare bully you as much. I always suspected that she had some leverage over them, especially after what she said about the past." Bai Xiuxiu paused, noticing her husband's attentive expression.

She softened her tone and continued gently, "I always felt that our parents treated you differently from their other sons, as if you were adopted. You were the only one doing all the hard work, and when there were benefits, the whole family shared them.

But they never shared anything with you.

Since we got married, I've never seen them consider your well-being or act in your best interest.

So I guessed that you might not really be their biological son.

Today, I went to see Aunt Feng."

Bai Xiuxiu repeated everything Aunt Feng had told her to Wang Qinghe.

However, to her surprise, Wang Qinghe wasn't saddened by the revelation.

She had prepared herself to comfort him.

After all, human hearts were made of flesh, and he would feel hurt.

Seeing his wife stop speaking, Wang Qinghe spoke softly. "I had a hunch."

"Did you guess? You knew and still let them bully you!" Bai Xiuxiu became even angrier. How could her man be so foolish?

Wang Qinghe's eyes were clear and honest.

Seeing this, Bai Xiuxiu involuntarily calmed down.

Wang Qinghe felt a bit cold, holding his wife close as he continued to pour out his heart: "I didn't know why they would raise me instead of leaving me in the mountains for the wolves.

When I was young, their disdain was unhidden in their eyes.

I knew I was different from my other brothers.

They weren't my biological parents, unrelated by blood, yet they raised me.

So, I decided early on to repay their kindness. I was born with more strength than others, so work doesn't tire me.

The amount of food they gave me can be converted into money. The life they saved, I also valued in money.

I started working in the fields at ten to earn points, and by now, I've almost repaid them.

However, if they raised me for another reason, if the debt I repaid wasn't theirs to take, then I will make them pay back a hundredfold."

Wang Qinghe wasn't one for many words, and he always spoke slowly.

But his voice was pleasant, and he was handsome, so Bai Xiuxiu loved listening and looking at him!

It was rare for him to speak so much at once!

As Bai Xiuxiu was musing, she saw him take out a small ledger.

"You didn't keep accounts for them in this, did you?" Bai Xiuxiu had thought that keeping accounts was done mentally, not on paper.

"Sorry..." Wang Qinghe suddenly said.

"What are you apologizing to me for?" Bai Xiuxiu looked puzzled.

Wang Qinghe held her tightly, filled with guilt: "I should have told you earlier, so you wouldn't treat them like real in-laws. I promised you when we married that I wouldn't hide anything from you, but I still kept this secret.

But I didn't want you to know that I was someone abandoned."

Bai Xiuxiu truly hadn't expected his reason for hiding this from her!

But soon, Bai Xiuxiu thought of something else.

After she died in her previous life, did Wang Qinghe blame her death on his failure to tell her about this?

Bai Xiuxiu felt a pang of sympathy: "Wang Qinghe, I have a question."
