Chapter 575 - Chapter 575: Chapter 581 (2/2)
Perhaps because Han Yu’s movements were too gentle or because Su Wenyue was in deep sleep, she did not wake up even as he moved her. She just frowned and muttered a few words, then comfortably nestled into Han Yu’s arms and fell back into deep sleep, which amused Han Yu even more.
“Hehe, sleeping like a little piggy, wouldn’t even know if she were sold in this state.” Han Yu said with a smile upon seeing Su Wenyue like this. He couldn’t resist pinching her still-thin face, and thought how much better it would feel if she were a bit plumper. He mused about when he might fatten up her cheeks. He didn’t share the same preference as other men of the time, who favored skinny figures. He liked his wife a bit chubby, healthy and robust; after all, it felt especially good to the touch. This was about his welfare; he couldn’t neglect it.
Due to Han Yu’s preferences and consistent actions over the years, Su Wenyue, as the executor of Han Yu’s wishes, was truly ‘at the end of her endurance,’ shed ‘tears of hardship.’ She had wanted to maintain her figure, but under the relentless temptation of various delicacies brought by Han Yu, she had eventually grown plumper. Of course, she wasn’t really that fat; she just gained a little bit of baby fat on her chin, no longer the sharp beauty’s chin she once had. She looked younger and more adorable, which made Han Yu’s quirky habits grow more pronounced. He restrained himself in public, but in private, he couldn’t help but knead her body, regardless of how many times Su Wenyue protested. But that’s a story for another time.
When Su Wenyue woke up, it was already dark outside. She belatedly remembered that she was currently in the military camp and immediately opened her eyes, sitting up abruptly. When did she fall asleep in bed?
“Husband,” Su Wenyue turned and saw that Han Yu was watching her, as if gazing at a rare treasure, his face showing indulgence and pampering, just as it always had. She felt treasured and liked, a sensation you’d only appreciate once you’ve immersed yourself in it, especially after fearing loss and feeling anxious. Seeing Han Yu’s familiar expression, Su Wenyue’s nose tingled, and tears fell like broken strings of pearls.
“Wife, what’s wrong, why are you crying all of a sudden? Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I’ll take care of it for you.” Han Yu, seeing his wife go from smiling to crying suddenly, spoke with a bewildered and worried tone. Every word was filled with care and concern, and his absolute favoritism didn’t cheer her up but made her cry even harder.
Su Wenyue sobbed heavily in Han Yu’s arms, but even so, she was careful not to touch any of his wounds, nor did she beat her fists against him like she used to. She merely cried purely, her shoulders heaving up and down, making her look even more pitiful.
Seeing his wife like this, Han Yu’s heart ached terribly, and he held her close. “What’s happened, darling, don’t cry. If there’s anything to say, let’s talk about it. You can tell your husband about any grievances, just don’t cry. You’ll break my heart.”
“Han Yu, you’re the bad one, you’ve wronged me terribly, wuwuwu.” Su Wenyue finally stopped just crying; she wept and accused in between sobs, her big eyes brimming with tears, looking even more pitiful.
Han Yu was somewhat perplexed by Su Wenyue’s accusation and realized that his wife hadn’t been bullied by anyone else. It was more likely she was being whimsical, using this as an excuse to act coquettishly with him.
“All right, all right, no more crying. It’s all my fault. I’ve upset you. You can hit me, scold me, I’ll accept the punishment, just don’t cry. It’s not worth harming yourself.” Han Yu was experienced by now; he didn’t argue but just kept admitting his mistake, coaxing his wife with a tone that was patient and tender.
