Chapter 362 - 356_1
Lin Yue knew that he was always very cold to other women, but this time, surprisingly, he didn’t have his usual cold expression, instead showing a hint of warmth. It was obvious that he was familiar with that woman, and she seemed to have deliberately waited for Zhao Erhu at the gates. Upon seeing their carriage, she immediately approached, affectionately calling out "Brother Erhu," which made Lin Yue feel nauseous.
Lin Yue wasn’t someone who got jealous without cause. If it had been Wei Fangcao or the widow Liu Cuicui from the past, she wouldn’t have cared at all. With women like them, even if they threw themselves at Zhao Erhu, he wouldn’t have been interested. It was Zhao Erhu’s attitude that bothered her—the way a woman feels uneasy when she sees her man treating another woman differently.
"Brother Erhu, it’s been a long time, you seem even more spirited now. You’ve been doing well these days, haven’t you?" The woman, ignoring the presence of Lin Yue at Zhao Erhu’s side, said to him.
"Yes, quite well. And you, why are you here?" Zhao Erhu felt that ever since he got a wife, his days had been quite good and he was very happy, especially after delivering the goods to Capital City. He felt a lot more relaxed, and his mood was already good, so his smile became even more evident when someone brought up this topic.
"You know about my husband. He’s just like that, always in poor health, and recently it’s been getting worse. I have a matter that I need your help with. I heard you often come into the city, so I waited here for you specially."
Seeing the two of them so unaware, chatting away at the gate and especially ignoring her presence, was unbearable for Lin Yue. This woman definitely posed a problem; otherwise, she wouldn’t be behaving like this—it was clear that she was hostile towards her.
"Zhao Erhu, who is this? Why don’t you introduce us?" Although Lin Yue still wore a smile, it was obviously forced, and Zhao Erhu, who was talking to the woman, didn’t even notice. It was rare for Zhao Erhu to ignore her feelings, and realizing this, Lin Yue felt even more stifled.
Zhao Erhu himself hadn’t seen an old acquaintance for such a long time, so he was inevitably happy to see her. Upon hearing Lin Yue speak, he remembered that he had ignored his wife. Seeing her complexion, which clearly wasn’t good, and the forced nature of her smile, he wondered if she was perhaps jealous! That was rare indeed. He recalled how Niuniu had dismissed Wei Fangcao when she came looking for him in the past, and now, to see her jealous, Zhao Erhu felt somewhat delighted inside. The more jealous his wife was, the more it meant she cared about him.
Zhao Erhu took Lin Yue’s hand, "Let me introduce you two. Wife, this is Li Xiaotao, the aunt of third brother and fourth brother. Xiaotao, this is my wife Lin Yue. Get to know each other."
