The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7231

charlie was at a loss for words. Talking about this topic made him feel awkward and uncomfortable.

He had a wife, and so many women who cared deeply for him—yet he hadn’t truly been with any of them.

There was always a strange barrier between him and Xiao Churan, and over time, he had gradually lost the drive to move their relationship forward.

Yet, he considered himself a traditional man, guided by the example of his father—a true gentleman. He couldn’t bring himself to cross the line into an affair or extramarital entanglement.

When he thought about it carefully, he realized that he and Gu Qiuyi were in similar situations. Both had held firm to their boundaries out of love, but both had also become trapped in an impossible love they couldn’t fully express.

Gu Qiuyi had started out with a playful tone, half-complaining, half-seeking affection. But when she saw charlie’s face slowly grow solemn and wistful, a serious thought struck her.

“Could it be that my beloved Brother charlie and his wife, Xiao Churan, have never actually shared true physical intimacy?”

“It must be!” she concluded silently.

“Otherwise, why have they been married for so long and still have no children?”

Seeing charlie’s conflicted expression only deepened her belief in that assumption.

In that moment, all the complaints in her heart faded, replaced by a deep sympathy for him.

She wanted nothing more than to embrace him and say sincerely: That woman may not be willing to give herself to you, but I am. That woman may not want to have your child—but I do.

Yet, the more she thought about it, the more she realized now wasn’t the right time to say such things. Not only would it reopen charlie’s emotional wounds, but it would also make her seem like the other woman.

Still, the more she held it in, the more suffocated she felt—unable to express the grievances buried in her heart.

“In the end, I’m the one who’s been intruded upon.”

“I’ve been set on becoming Brother charlie’s wife since I was a child, and both our parents agreed to it.”

“If it hadn’t been for what happened back then, I would’ve married him long ago—and we might already have several children.”

“So what does Xiao Churan have to do with any of this?”

“Xiao Churan…”

“If you treated Brother charlie with true devotion, I could accept it. But you don’t know how to cherish your blessing. You’ve been married to him for years, yet you still refuse to give yourself to him. Why? Do you think he’s not good enough for you? If that’s how you really feel, then why not just divorce him and end this marriage that exists in name only?”

Gu Qiuyi felt a deep wave of grievance swell inside her.

What she never expected was that An Chengxi had already begun taking action to support the daughter-in-law she truly acknowledged.

Tang Sihai was already aboard the returning freighter, drawing ever closer to China across the sea.

An Chengxi, always decisive, had instructed Tang Sihai to meet Xiao Churan in secret upon arrival. The time had finally come to resolve, once and for all, the twisted marriage between charlie and Xiao Churan.
