The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man - Chapter 716

Chapter 716: 716 Xianglian Sends Cakes

Fifteen men were working hard in full swing. Some were digging the foundations, while others were transporting clay bricks; everything was orderly.

Under the scorching sun, almost every man had their upper body exposed, showing off their strong arms and legs; people accustomed to hard labor tended to have a robust physique.

The most muscular of them was Xiao Yishan.

His skin was bronze in color, with distinct and resolute facial features. The muscles in his strong and sturdy body made him look like a mountain.

Su Qingyue’s gaze fell on third brother Xiao Yuchuan, who was also bare-chested under the sun, with the same height as the second brother. Although his muscles were not as developed, he looked very strong and well-built, with beautiful lines and no excess fat.

She suddenly felt… the third brother’s figure was also excellent. It was just that in the past, he often annoyed her, so she didn’t pay attention to his physique.

As the only woman among so many men, Su Qingyue naturally attracted everyone’s attention. However, they were well-mannered, only glancing at her once before continuing with their tasks.

Xiao Yishan, who was stacking clay bricks, saw his wife, wiped his sweat, and came over.

When he wiped the sweat off, it was like a misty rain, making the ground wet.

Su Qingyue now knew what it meant to “sweat like rain.”

“Wife, why did you come here? The weather is scorching hot. You should just stay at home,” said Xiao Yishan as he took the water bucket from her and put it down by the empty land.

There was already a water bucket there, but it had been emptied.

Facing her second brother’s concern, Su Qingyue still felt warmth in her heart. Although she had no romantic feelings for him, she respected him like an elder brother.

Xiao Yuchuan, who was digging the foundation, put down his hoe and came over too. “Dear, with such tender skin, you better not get tanned.”

Su Qingyue then noticed that third brother’s originally fair skin was also much darker now. However, his handsome face and strong, erect figure, as well as his shining bright eyes, made him look even more masculine, exuding sex appeal despite his darkened complexion.

Xiao Yuchuan picked up a bowl from the ground beside the bucket and scooped up a bowl of water from the water bucket Su Qingyue had brought. He gulped the water down.

Su Qingyue leaned her head back slightly to watch him drink, his Adam’s apple moving non-stop, with a wild and unrestrained action, looking very sexy. She suddenly felt thirsty herself.

She had just had some water not too long ago…

Darn it! Did she actually have desires for the third brother’s mouth?

With that thought, her face flashed a hint of unease.

Having put down the bowl, Xiao Yuchuan looked at the sweat on her forehead with concern and said, “Dear, go back quickly. Don’t stay in the sun any longer.”

Xiao Yishan echoed in a cold voice, “Yeah, wife, go back.”

“Wife of the Xiao family, don’t go back. Stay here and keep your husband company,” Zhang Youlai laughed. “You don’t know about yesterday. Liu Xianglian came with a vegetable basket, filled with a pot of good tea and a few cakes, meant for your third brother. If you don’t keep an eye on your husband, he might be taken by someone else.”

Xiao Yuchuan said displeasedly, “Master Zhang, don’t bring up what is not relevant!”

“What’s the harm in it? I’m not even telling this to your wife. Liu Xianglian came again today. She left just before your wife arrived,” said Zhang Youlai. “With this situation, Liu Xianglian might come to give you food every day.”

Xiao Yishan helped to explain, “Wife, the third brother didn’t care about that woman surnamed Liu. Don’t take it to heart.”
