Chapter 578 - Chapter 578: Chapter 584: Inexplicable (2/2)

Liu Xiu, unaware that Han Yu had noticed something wrong, and hearing what Han Yu said, knew he would not be able to see her today and, not wanting to raise Han Yu’s suspicion, made a few jokes and didn’t mention Su Wenyue anymore.

“I just came over today to see how things are for you here, whether you needed my help. Since you’ve already arranged everything and have a Daughter-in-law to take care of you, I won’t stay long and will head back to Camp. There’s a lot to do there, and you best rest well.”

Han Yu had a Servant see Liu Xiu out on his behalf.

Once Liu Xiu left the room, the smile on Han Yu’s face disappeared, replaced by a look that was deep, inscrutable, and somewhat menacing.

As soon as Su Wenyue returned from outside and came in, she saw Han Yu looking at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, leaving her rather baffled.

“What’s going on? Why are you looking at me like that?” Su Wenyue, too lazy to guess and unable to fathom Han Yu’s thoughts at the moment, asked bluntly. After all, she hadn’t done anything wrong behind Han Yu’s back and had a clear conscience.

Han Yu didn’t speak at first and just pulled Su Wenyue into his arms, causing her to startle repeatedly, “Han Yu, be careful, let go quickly, what if you hurt your wounds?”

While Su Wenyue said this, she didn’t dare struggle, for fear that any force she applied might touch Han Yu’s wounds, so she waited for Han Yu to let go of her himself.

But Han Yu clearly had no such intention. Instead, he hugged her even tighter and pinched Su Wenyue’s cheek with a slightly punishing air, “You really are a troublesome little thing, with such beauty, it’s no wonder you attract so much attention, drawing those annoying flies. What am I to do with you?”

Su Wenyue’s eyes widened as she looked at Han Yu, not understanding what he meant, even more confused by these incomprehensible words he said out of the blue, especially since Han Yu’s pinch on her cheek was not gentle at all, it was quite painful, she suspected her face might have been pinched red, which was truly annoying!

“Han Yu, what are you doing, spouting all this nonsense out of nowhere? I can’t make heads or tails of it, and why? If you keep this up, I’ll be angry. My face is already hurting from your pinch.” Su Wenyue said somewhat angrily, without much authority, sounding like she was coquettishly scolding Han Yu.

“Such a spoiled little thing, with skin like tofu, so soft that even a light pinch leaves a mark,” Han Yu hearing Su Wenyue complain about pain, eased his grip and rubbed the spot for her, as if in admiration.

“You still haven’t explained what just happened. I know you did that on purpose. If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer, I’m moving to the study to sleep tonight!” Su Wenyue huffed, employing a tactic that had proven effective in threatening Han Yu, always working every time.

Alas, this time Han Yu didn’t give in, instead narrowing his eyes, “Who allowed such bad habits, threatening your Husband like this all the time? You’ve really grown some ‘Ability.’ Dare try and see if you can?”
