Xiao Yun never expected Cold Brow would ask such a question.
It was strange. Did Cold Brow call him over just to ask if he truly regarded her as his woman?
With Cold Brow's cool and reserved personality, she wouldn't do something like that.
"Sister-in-law... this..."
For a moment, Xiao Yun didn't know how to respond to Cold Brow's question.
Cold Brow stared silently at Xiao Yun, waiting for his reply.
Tears glistened silently on her stunningly beautiful face.
Faced with a tearful and exceptionally delicate woman, Xiao Yun already felt as if the sky was falling. Now, he felt even closer to death.
Although Cold Brow was a few years older than him, if he were to speak from the heart, he would want to tell her that he would certainly be willing to accept her as his woman.
Moreover, in front of Lu Jiutang, Xiao Yun had already made a promise. He was not someone who would go back on his word.
The problem was that at this moment, in front of Cold Brow, he seemed to have lost all courage. In Xiao Yun's mind, one thought kept circling: she was the beloved wife of his good friend, a friend who had just passed away not long ago.
"Xiao Yun, thank you!"
Cold Brow seemed to lower her head in disappointment. She took a tissue from a box on the Tea Table, wiped her tears, and said softly, "You are a good person. I know you didn't want Liu Jiutang to leave this world with regrets, so you promised him..."
"No, sister-in-law, things are not as you think. Let me explain..." Xiao Yun struggled to find the right words to clarify, but nothing seemed to come to mind.
Cold Brow smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Yun, you don't need to explain anything to me. I understand your feelings, thank you!"
With that, Cold Brow slowly stood up, turned around, and quickly walked upstairs.
Watching her shoulders move gently, Xiao Yun realized that his silence had hurt her feelings.
"Sister-in-law..." Xiao Yun paused for a moment before following her upstairs.
Once upstairs, Cold Brow rushed into her bedroom. Just as she was about to close the door, Xiao Yun stepped in ahead of her.
Xiao Yun could guess that Cold Brow must still be harboring something in her heart that she hadn't expressed directly to him.
"Xiao Yun, just go!" Cold Brow said, turning her back to him and covering her face as she cried softly.
Xiao Yun swallowed hard, no longer caring about anything else. He urgently said, "Sister-in-law, I... I'm speaking from the heart. My promises in front of Lu Ge are all genuine; there is not a single lie..."
Upon hearing his words, Cold Brow's body trembled slightly, but she still did not turn around. She simply opened a speaker and inserted a disc, playing a piece from the Dream of the Red Chamber called Burial Flower Song.
Then, with her back to Xiao Yun and looking out the window, Cold Brow began to sing softly through her tears:
"Flowers fall and fly across the sky; who pities the fading red and fragrant scent? The soft threads drift in the spring pavilion; falling petals lightly touch the embroidered curtain. How long can such brightness last? Once adrift, it is hard to seek..."
Her voice was mournful, breaking hearts with its sorrow.
Suddenly, she pulled off her belt, and the garment she wore slipped from her shoulders to the floor, revealing a flawless woman's body before Xiao Yun.
She slowly turned around, her firm chest, flat abdomen, skin as white as snow, and the curves of her body... No matter how you looked at her, she did not resemble a middle-aged woman; her figure was no less than that of a young girl. What kind of beauty was this? It was simply indescribable.
The fragrance emanating from her body wafted towards Xiao Yun in waves.
With a buzzing sound, Xiao Yun felt his head swell, his gaze momentarily blank, breathing rapid. The Emotional Spirit Pill within him suddenly erupted, and his blood felt as if it had been ignited by fire, crackling and burning. Due to his dry mouth, he struggled to swallow.
"Sister-in-law, you can't do this..." Xiao Yun murmured breathlessly.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he wished he could slap himself.
How could he say such a thing? Wasn't that damaging to his pride?
Cold Brow listened to him but showed no expression, standing there motionless. Her eyes had stopped shedding tears, yet within those beautiful eyes lay a pool of spring water, sparkling and seemingly able to reflect a person's shadow.
"Sister-in-law..."
Xiao Yun could no longer control himself. He strode forward and lifted Cold Brow into his arms, placing her on the bed with a thud. Then he pounced on top of her.
He eagerly stripped off all his clothes.
Cold Brow's body was cool, trembling slightly in Xiao Yun's embrace. She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering...
"Xiao Yun, you want me, right? Hard..." Those words finally escaped her lips.
"Sister-in-law, I love you!"
After a wild storm, Cold Brow obediently lay in Xiao Yun's arms.
One of Xiao Yun's hands was still lingering as he caressed Cold Brow's delicate body. He gently kissed her earlobe and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Xiao Yun, I'm afraid..." Cold Brow hesitated.
Xiao Yun naturally understood her feelings. With Lu Jiutang gone, she and Lulili were living in such an empty house that anyone would feel lonely and empty. Over time, for a solitary woman, it could even drive her mad.
The earlier madness might have provided Cold Brow with a slight release from her inner loneliness and melancholy, but it was not a long-term solution.
"Sister-in-law, with me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
Xiao Yun comforted her, "You are not like the fallen petals after the flowers wilt; you won't fade away. You are still a blooming flower, vibrant and beautiful..."
Even Xiao Yun himself was surprised at how eloquent he had become in that moment, filled with artistic flair.
"Xiao Yun, are you always this sweet-tongued in front of women?"
Cold Brow couldn't help but smile at him.
However, her smile appeared quite sorrowful.
Fortunately, Xiao Yun had thick skin. He laughed and said, "In front of the woman I love, my mouth just can't help but become so articulate!"
Suddenly, Cold Brow burst into laughter.
"By the way,"
Xiao Yun suddenly asked, "Why haven't I seen Lily?"
Cold Brow furrowed her brows at his question. She struggled to sit up from his embrace, picked up her clothes from the ground, and put them on.
She sighed lightly, "She went to her aunt's."
Lily's aunt naturally referred to Cold as Ice.
"Sigh, this Lily," Xiao Yun said, "She should be going to school. Staying at home all the time isn't good for her!"
Upon mentioning this topic, Cold Brow frowned again and fell silent.
"Sister-in-law, why aren't you speaking again?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.
Cold Brow suddenly asked, "Xiao Yun, do you like Lily? I mean in that romantic way."
Uh,
Xiao Yun didn't expect Cold Brow to ask him such a question out of the blue.
He felt an impulse to spit blood.
"Sister-in-law, she's still a child in front of me. How can you ask such a thing? To be precise, I am her uncle," Xiao Yun replied seriously.
Cold Brow said, "But she keeps calling you brother. She even told me that she doesn't want to study anymore and wants to follow you. Just this morning, she argued with me about it..."
Tears rolled down her cheeks once again as she spoke.
In Lu Jiutang's lifetime, he had often told her that the only wealth he had in this life was having created a good daughter. Lulili was obedient, smart, and eager to learn; he believed she would surely become someone beneficial to society in the future.
Lu Jiutang had two daughters. His eldest daughter was from his first wife and married to Flower Cloth. What saddened him was that his eldest daughter was spoiled, lazy, and Flower Cloth was a person of no substance. Even worse, he looked down on this son-in-law for his questionable character.
He placed all his hopes on Lulili.
However, who could have imagined that after Lu Jiutang's passing, Lulili suddenly declared she no longer wanted to continue her studies...
After listening to Cold Brow's lament, Xiao Yun understood that Cold Brow's ultimate purpose for seeking her out today was concerning her daughter Lulili.
The reason she offered herself to Xiao Yun was to ensure he would no longer approach Lulili. She was a very calculating woman.
But given her circumstances, what better choice did she have if she didn't do this?
Xiao Yun could certainly understand Cold Brow's actions; he felt no blame towards her in his heart but rather a deeper sense of pity for her.
Xiao Yun said, "Sister-in-law, Lulili cannot do this; she must continue her studies. I'll call her back and talk to her!"
"Is that... really possible?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Cold Brow's eyes upon hearing Xiao Yun's words.
Xiao Yun frowned slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, I will do my best to persuade her to go back to school!"
Then, Xiao Yun took out his phone and dialed Lulili's number.
"Oh, it's Brother Xiao! What made you think of calling me today?" Lulili asked excitedly on the other end of the line.
Xiao Yun said, "Lulili, I'm at your house. Come back home right away; I have something to tell you!"
"Okay, I'll be right back!" Lulili replied happily. She wondered what Brother Xiao wanted to say so urgently. Could it be a confession of love?
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yun and Cold Brow left the bedroom and went downstairs to the living room. Before long, they heard the sound of a car outside the gate; Cold as Ice had brought Lulili back.
"Sis, Xiao Yun!" Cold as Ice greeted Cold Brow and Xiao Yun as she walked in, having driven Lulili home.
Lulili saw Xiao Yun and jumped excitedly in front of him, wrapping her arms around his and resting her soft body against his shoulder while giggling, "Brother Xiao, did you come specifically to see me?"
"No, I came to see your mom!" Xiao Yun shook his head.
Just as Lulili was about to let go of Xiao Yun's arm in disappointment, he smiled and added, "Also, I came here to discuss something with you. I'm going to take you to school in Provincial Capital tomorrow."
"I don't want to go to school anymore!"
Lulili pouted and said, "I want to be with you from now on!"
