Chapter 485: Considerate (2)

Chu Lian pouted, buried her face into the front of his robes, and said in a slightly muffled voice, Hubby, Grandmother doesnt like me anymore.

Chu Lian had been using a questioning tone earlier, but now she was stating a fact.

She wasnt stupid. Despite the Matriarchs attempt at acting as per normal, she had still been able to sense that something was wrong.

When someone truly cared for you, you would be able to sense it in their gaze, their actions, their words.

It wasnt just Chu Lian who had this feeling, He Changdi felt the same.

His brows wrinkled slightly and he thought of the movements in the estate for the past two days.

Chu Lian had suffered on the trip to the north and she had even succeeded in bringing back the medicinal ingredient needed to cure his mother. Grandmother wasnt an unreasonable person, so she should be treating Chu Lian even more dearly. Why had she become cold and distant instead?

There had to be some external factor influencing her.

He Sanlangs pupils dilated as he sunk deep into his thoughts. When a sudden notion came to him, his eyes narrowed.

After his past life, He Changdi knew how important it was to make sure that there were no conflicts between even the closest of families. Otherwise, the gaps in their hearts would give rise to internal family troubles.

Grandmother was aging and his aunt was right by her side. Many things were different from his past life.

He comforted his wife by stroking her back with his palm. Resolution formed a decision in his heart.

Lianer, what do you think happened?

Chu Lians brows formed a frown. She sat up and straightened her posture before sharing her analysis, Hubby, could it be Uncle Mo?

He Sanlang looked at her with undisguised admiration, as they had reached the same conclusion.

Dont worry about this, Ill handle it. As for Grandmother, shes old and may have become muddleheaded, dont take her actions to heart. Im the one who youre spending the rest of your life with, not her.

Chu Lian knew that He Sanlang was right, but feeling alienated from the matriarch for no reason left a bad taste in her mouth. In the past, she may not have cared about this, but since she wanted to pass her days happily with He Changdi and help him manage the family, it was hard for her to stay positive.

As a granddaughter-in-law, she didnt want to be disliked by her grandmother-in-law.

Chu Lian puffed up her cheeks and said, But Im still unhappy.

He Changdi understood his wifes train of thought. It was precisely because she cared about him that she wanted the approval of all of his relatives, and to be on equal footing with him.

The caring consideration from his wife warmed He Sanlangs heart. Her cute and chubby puffed up cheeks gave him a sudden urge He let out a low chuckle and pulled her closer. With just a simple tilt of his head, his lips were already covering her pout. He tasted her smooth and sweet lips before pushing past them and plundering her mouth

When Chu Lian ran out of air, she pushed at his chest and he finally released her.

Do you still have the strength to get angry now?

Chu Lians lips had turned red from his bullying. She glared at him with her clear eyes, He Changdi, youre getting more and more out of hand.

He Sanlangs icy face broke into a smile that resembled a warm breeze.

Although Chu Lian was still displeased with him, she couldnt bear to spoil this relaxed expression of his.

Now that she had become estranged from the matriarch, albeit through no fault of her own, he was the one stuck in the middle. Things would be tough for him in the future.

Chu Lians heart ached for her grim-faced husband.

She stroked He Sanlangs cheek and said softly, Forget about it. Im not made of gold, so I cant be liked by everyone. I cant control how Grandmother thinks, but Ill be fine as long as my conscience is clear. You dont have to think too much about this, were not living our lives for others to see.

He Sanlang hadnt expected Chu Lian to be able to let the matter go. His heart was instantly enveloped in warmth that he had never felt before.
