“Your leg hasn’t healed yet. The doctor said you shouldn’t be walking. How come you’re out again…”
Though his expression was terrible, Qin Nan still approached. This man had helped her during her darkest times, and even though his temperament had become terrible due to his leg injury, she had never considered leaving him…
“Get lost! You’re openly fooling around with another man. If I hadn’t come out, who knows what might have happened!”
He shoved Qin Nan’s arm aside. To him, because of his leg wound, he could only stay with this beautiful woman every day, unable to enjoy the pleasures of married life. He constantly worried that one day she might betray him…
To be a man in such a situation was indeed pitiful, yet he still cared deeply for Qin Nan. If it weren’t for her marrying him out of gratitude, how could a man with his meager circumstances ever land such a lucky break? Seeing Xiao Yufan getting so close to Qin Nan, his heart swelled with jealousy and imbalance…
“Hey, are you even a real man? Why are you laying your hands on a woman like that?”
Qing Luan hated seeing men mistreat women. As soon as Qin Nan was shoved aside, she immediately stepped forward, catching her just in time before she stumbled and fell.
“Bad daddy! Why did you hit mommy? Wanwan doesn’t love you anymore…”
Seeing her mother pushed aside, Wanwan ran directly to the man and started hitting him with all her might. Clearly, the little girl’s affection for Qin Nan far surpassed what she felt for her father.
“I have every right to discipline my own woman. It’s none of your business to interfere. Get out of here, all of you!”
His temper flaring, the man grew furious seeing Xiao Yufan. He grabbed something from behind the door and charged toward Xiao Yufan, his heart twisted with fear that this man might steal his woman away…
“You’re misunderstanding! Xiao Fan is my younger brother from back home. He just happened to come to Linjiang and met me…”
Qin Nan knew her man had misunderstood. Normally, although he would occasionally get angry and scold her, he had never acted this violently before. Thinking it through, she finally understood the root of the problem.
“Is that really all?”
The man paused, his expression turning awkward. He had only seen their closeness without first clarifying their relationship, nearly hurting the woman he loved. After calming down, he immediately felt regret.
“What other possibilities could there be? Nan is a good woman. Otherwise, do you think she would have willingly spent her life repaying a debt of gratitude? Without even asking questions, you start hitting her. Have you ever considered her feelings?”
“Why do you care?”
The man had been feeling somewhat apologetic, but upon hearing Xiao Yufan’s scolding, his mood soured instantly. The atmosphere grew tense with hostility.
“Because I can teach you what it truly means to be a man…”
Before anyone could react, Xiao Yufan had already appeared beside the man, snatching the stick from his hand. With a slight increase in force, the sturdy stick cracked, then disintegrated into powder…
This near-superhuman feat naturally drew everyone’s attention. Amazed, they all realized that Xiao Yufan was definitely not someone they could afford to provoke. No wonder a man with such extraordinary abilities could be surrounded by three women of such extraordinary beauty.
“If you weren’t Nan’s husband, you wouldn’t even have the chance to threaten me…”
As the man stared in shock, Xiao Yufan slowly released his grip. Though there was no wind, the man still felt a chill run down his back in Xiao Yufan’s presence…
At this moment, he finally understood completely: without Nan, in Xiao Yufan’s eyes, he was nothing more than a joke.
“Xiao Fan, Brother Wu was just too tense. Please don’t take it to heart…”
Seeing her man embarrassed, Qin Nan stepped forward to mediate. She too was stunned by Xiao Yufan’s display. In just a few years, she could no longer fathom her younger brother—he seemed to carry so many secrets.
“I just wanted him to understand what kind of woman Nan truly is. If he takes out all his frustrations on her because of his physical condition, he doesn’t even deserve to stand here and speak to me…”
A faint smile crossed Xiao Yufan’s lips. Since he had run into them, he wanted to take this opportunity to teach the man a lesson. He couldn’t allow Nan to marry a man and suffer domestic violence every day—it was simply too unfair to her.
Speechless and humiliated, the man himself also felt ashamed for hitting a woman. Yet once his temper flared, he couldn’t control himself. Thinking about his condition, he couldn’t help but feel other anxieties…
“Brother Fan, this is only a temporary solution. After all, Nan still has to live with this man. Only if his temper changes completely can Nan truly find happiness. Don’t you agree?”
Qing Luan also felt some pity for the man. Although she had only known him briefly, she could sense the deep feelings Qin Nan held for Xiao Yufan. Therefore, she wanted to help this equally pitiable woman…
“That’s true. With today’s advanced medical technology, a leg injury is really not a big issue. If it can be cured, his temper will likely improve as well!”
Suddenly enlightened, Xiao Yufan looked at the man’s crippled leg and already had another idea. Nan had given him so much care in the past, treating him with endless affection as a younger brother. Now it was his turn to do something for her…
Their conversation reached Qin Nan and the man’s ears. After a moment of shock, both shook their heads. Although a leg injury wasn’t a major illness, they simply couldn’t afford the treatment. With Wanwan to raise, where would they find the money to cure a leg that had been crippled for years?
“Xiao Fan, we appreciate your kindness, but treating Brother Wu’s leg injury will cost a significant amount of money. We simply can’t afford it right now. We can only hope to save enough over the next few years to change our family’s life…”
“There’s no need for you to worry about money, Nan. If he’s willing to cooperate, I guarantee I can make him a normal man again. After all, living with a beauty like you and being unable to do anything must be agony for any man…”
As Xiao Yufan’s voice faded, Qin Nan’s face flushed red. Her husband was once again stunned. If he had previously thought Xiao Yufan was merely showing off, now he had to admit this man’s true power…
