Liu Ergou's words stunned Xu Yulan, who instantly stiffened in his embrace.
Gently patting her back, he continued, "Sister-in-law, I'm not lying to you! What I, Liu Ergou, say is the truth. If you're my woman for a day, you're my woman for a lifetime!"
At his words, Xu Yulan could no longer hold back and began to sob softly in his arms. Her weeping took Liu Ergou by surprise.
"Sister-in-law, why are you crying!" he asked, startled.
Hearing his question, Xu Yulan lifted her head and said softly, "It's nothing, I'm not crying. My eyes just feel a little irritated."
"Er Gou, I'm so worried... I'm worried that you'll forget me once you get married!"
Her words struck Liu Ergou like a bullet between the eyes. In that instant, he understood. His sister-in-law wasn't jealous; she was afraid. She was terrified that one day he would abandon her, that he would forget her.
