Chapter 554 - Chapter 554: Chapter 560: Achieving the Desired Effect (2/2)

At that moment, Su Wenyue truly felt remorseful. Given Han Yu’s sincere demeanor, how could she not be more understanding and considerate of him? Even if she was angry, they could resolve it in private. Yet she had made a scene in front of so many, and Han Yu was not angered at all.

“Husband, don’t be like this. Oaths should not be made lightly. You’re never to do this again!” Su Wenyue hadn’t had the chance to stop Han Yu before he made the oath, so she could only admonish him urgently. She had not given much thought to oaths in the past, finding them ethereal, but since her rebirth, she believed in the existence of heavenly laws and thus placed importance on such matters, not making vows lightly.

“Wife, aren’t you angry anymore?” Seeing his wife approach him with concern, Han Yu no longer cared about the presence of others. Holding Su Wenyue’s hand, he spoke with a teasing smile, surprising everyone. Aside from Madam Su, the others had not seen this side of Han Yu. He was indeed a husband who doted on his wife. Despite his usual serious and stern demeanor, in front of his wife, he showed an entirely different attitude.

Having been impulsive, Su Wenyue already regretted her actions. Seeing Han Yu lower himself to match her, she couldn’t possibly continue to be aloof. But doing it in front of so many people from her mother’s family was somewhat embarrassing, so she shyly nodded and assumed the demeanor of a demure daughter-in-law.

Although his wife was no longer angry, Han Yu still wanted to clear things up as soon as possible to prevent her from worrying unnecessarily. Moreover, since the discussion had reached a sufficient point, some issues could not be avoided. His wife was right—whatever the truth was, they should speak frankly. His wife was not an unreasonable or ignorant woman; she would surely understand and support him.

However, upon returning to their room, they found that their three children had already been waiting there. Both Han Yu and Su Wenyue, one eager to speak and the other to learn, had to patiently soothe the children first.

“Mother, you’re finally back! We got up early in the morning wanting to find you, but they said you were still resting and didn’t let us disturb you. We waited until evening to come, only to find out you were already gone. We’ve been waiting here for quite a while,” Sister Yu was the first to pounce on Su Wenyue, naturally running into her arms and acting coquettishly.

Star Brother and Brother Chen, learning from yesterday’s lesson, knew their father disliked their unmeasured behavior and their mother didn’t have the strength to hold them, so they obediently walked up to Su Wenyue, unlike yesterday when they charged at her like cannonballs.

“Mother, we’re so glad you’re back. We’ve missed you so much, not seeing you for such a long time. Last night there wasn’t nearly enough time to talk to you,” Brother Chen, unable to cling to Su Wenyue like Sister Yu, still tugged at her hand and cooed affectionately.

Star Brother, somewhat more composed, didn’t behave like his younger siblings. Yet, his longing gaze and the occasional hint of sadness on his face arguably made a greater impact.
