Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61: Chapter 060 Don’t Guard Against Me 1

——————

The perspective shifts back to where Xie Jingchen coldly glares at Wang Xiaocui, then gloomily pulls his newlywed wife back to their room to talk—

Xie Jingchen presses his lips tightly and clenches his teeth, calmly listening to his mother’s words. Then coldly glancing at Wang Xiaocui and signaling to Zhou Xiuhua, he sternly pulls his wife away and leaves directly.

Zhang Shan Ni is somewhat coy, um, it’s not that she’s annoyed by Wang Xiaocui’s unreasonable overbearingness, but rather it’s the reservedness of a new bride that instinctively makes her twist and turn awkwardly; it’s embarrassment, it’s shyness.

Regarding those nonsensical words from Wang Xiaocui, she had actually heard far worse in the apocalypse, so she just pretends to be overwhelmed and lowers her head, putting on the appearance of a meek wife, which is enough to give that loose-lipped sister-in-law a taste of her own medicine.

When Xie Jingchen holds her hand, she genuinely didn’t expect this somber-faced Brother Rong Wei to actually be such a ’warm man’!

Truly! He boldly grips her hand tightly, right under Wang Xiaocui’s eyes!

Ha! Having understood the conservatism of this period, Zhang Shan Ni feels as if her heart is drinking honey, filled with sweetness.

—But let’s not talk about that; once they left the front courtyard, he held her hand tightly, intertwining fingers. His rough thumb gently caressed her knuckle joints and... calluses!

Finally, back in the bridal room, he even teased her with some playful touches and sweet nothings!

Thinking about what had happened after he pulled her back to the room, Zhang Shan Ni further lowered her head and quietly ate her meal, feeling too embarrassed to look up at the vegetables and pieces of meat that kept appearing in her bowl.

Contrary to Zhang Shan Ni’s silence, Zhou Xiuhua, seeing her third son still taking care of his own wife and knowing the words of the fifth family, realized that her third son didn’t really care about those words, thinking she might have worried too much. If her third son truly cared about his wife’s background, he wouldn’t have brought her back to the Old Xie Family in the first place!

Zhang Shan Ni didn’t focus on the Xie Family people around her; having been an abandoned woman for many years, she hadn’t interacted with the opposite sex for a long time. At this moment, as she chewed the coarse rice in her mouth, her thoughts drifted back to when Xie Jingchen had pulled her into the room—

Xie Jingchen pulled her back to the bridal room with a grim face, then immediately changed from his prior tension, turned around and directly picked her up, giving her quite a scare. Then, ignoring her struggles, he held her and sat down on the festive bed, directly placing her on his long legs, and solemnly said:

"Little girl, don’t be angry or overthink, it doesn’t matter to me."

She was truly stunned at that moment, but what she cared about wasn’t Wang Xiaocui’s slander, but his actions! Yet she still instinctively asked him:

"Brother Chen, do you really not mind the nasty things people in the village say?"

Even his own siblings viewed her this way; one can imagine that it must be similar throughout the Qingshan Team. But if she had to choose between her natal family and a good reputation, she would not hesitate to choose the latter!

"Silly, these words don’t hurt us! We just need to live our lives well. What others say isn’t on our mouths, and we can’t control it!"

Xie Jingchen shook his head. As for the village gossip, how long can it spread? Before long, it will be replaced by new rumors.

"So you don’t mind that I don’t have a natal family either?" Zhang Shan Ni really had to admire this stern-faced Brother Rong Wei anew, truly a hero thinks alike! It made her forget to continue struggling while he held her.
