Chapter 580 - Chapter 580: Chapter 586: Overwhelming Charisma (2/2)
Having a wife who was too appealing could be troubling. Forget Liu Xiu, there was previously Sikong Ling, who after just a day or two of being around his daughter-in-law, somehow became deeply attached to her. This made him proud yet simultaneously distressed.
“You little tormentor!” Seeing his daughter-in-law looking so innocent and unaware, Han Yu felt a wicked fire in his heart, and he pulled her in for a thorough ravishing. Seeing his daughter-in-law flushed and lying in his arms, allowing him to do as he wished, all his emotions transformed into strands of tenderness, affection, and desire.
Had it not been for the injury on his body, and the business he still had to attend to, Han Yu would have found it difficult to restrain himself. It took a great effort to finally quell the fiery restlessness in his heart.
“Stay at home obediently these days and don’t go anywhere. Seeing how Uncle Wen looks, he seems to have taken quite an interest in you. Although he may not have any malicious intent, it’s still better to be cautious and avoid unnecessary trouble!” Han Yu said this primarily because he couldn’t bear the thought of other men coveting his daughter-in-law, even if it was merely in their thoughts. As long as Liu Xiu stayed sensible, whether for public or private reasons, he wouldn’t likely do anything to Su Wenyue.
“Are you saying?” Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu in surprise. She thought his reaction was somewhat excessive—it was all over this? But how could that be?!
“Husband, could you have misunderstood? I’ve only met that person once; how could he possibly have such thoughts? Could you be mistaken?” Su Wenyue still found it hard to believe. While she was quite confident in her charm, who was Liu Xiu? Certainly not a man of lascivious character! To him, women were more of a commodity to be used. Even after he ascended to that position, there were just so many women in his harem, which was relatively few compared to the emperors of past dynasties. Back then, his subjects had presented various enchanting women to him, but Liu Xiu remained indifferent.
Su Wenyue knew this because she had heard it from Sikong Ling’s sighs. At that time, a beauty presented by the foreign countries, said to be a princess, had captured even Sikong Ling’s fancy. And yet, Liu Xiu, utterly lacking in compassion for feminine allure, bestowed that princess as a reward to one of his heroes.
Han Yu, seeing Su Wenyue’s disbelief: “Are you doubting your man’s judgment?”
“No, of course not. But if that person does bear such thoughts, hiding at home wouldn’t be of much use,” Su Wenyue said somewhat guiltily, even though she hadn’t done anything to be disloyal to Han Yu. Yet, facing such an event, she still felt somewhat lacking in his presence. Moreover, she didn’t actually believe Liu Xiu would do anything; it seemed unnecessary to hide at home because of this.
“I would not ask you to do this without reason. Can’t you just be obedient?” Han Yu first reprimanded Su Wenyue, then continued, “I believe Liu Xiu remembers your appearance but isn’t certain that you are the one, so stay put these days, and I will have ways to throw him off. Even if he wouldn’t do anything to you, I still don’t want other men coveting my daughter-in-law.”
“That’s good.” Su Wenyue let out a sigh of relief upon hearing what Han Yu said, sneaking a glance at his expression. Although Han Yu still looked displeased, his words and tone were all about protecting and accommodating her.
In fact, she considered herself very lucky. Although Han Yu tended to get jealous, it was mostly talk, and he never really took it to heart,
