Chapter 551 - Chapter 551: Chapter 557: Can Bear It (2/2)
Seeing Han Yu behave so, Su Hengyi didn’t bother to argue. After all, Han Yu had done well this time. For his sister’s sake, he had gone to great lengths; even Su Hengyi wasn’t sure if he could do the same for his wife because sometimes decisions aren’t so easy to make.
“Stop looking at me like I’m a wolf. She’s my own sister, my direct relative. It’s normal to be affectionate. The formidable General Han of the outside world, getting jealous over such trivial matters, now that’s really something,” Su Hengyi said, unable to hold back some teasing words. Seeing Han Yu listening obediently and not daring to retort made Su Hengyi feel quite satisfied.
“Speaking of which, Elder Brother, how did you escape from Chang’an?” Su Wenyue remembered how dangerous it was to go to Chang’an and had worried a lot for her cousin at the time.
“It’s a long story, but in general, I owe it to brother-in-law and the help of his friends. Without them, it wouldn’t have been so easy to execute the plan step by step. We might not even have been able to rescue eldest uncle,” Su Hengyi explained.
Hearing this, Su Wenyue looked gratefully at Han Yu: “Thank you, Husband.”
“It’s what I should do. Having married Lady Yue, becoming a son-in-law of the Su family, our families have become one. How could I possibly stand by idly when the Su family is in trouble? Besides, I couldn’t bear to see my wife sad,” Han Yu took the opportunity to express his love in front of Su Wenyue, looking to earn her favor.
Saying such things in front of so many people, especially in front of her own family, made Su Wenyue glare at Han Yu, her face flustered with embarrassment. She didn’t understand why Han Yu, normally so serious and dignified outside, was becoming so shameless.
“Husband, please stop, it’s making me embarrassed,” Su Wenyue said, her face blushing and voice slightly bashful. Although she was often impudent in private, she always maintained Han Yu’s dignity in public.
Seeing all this, everyone thought highly of Su Wenyue for her sense of propriety. Even though they were aware of the couple’s private interactions, it was enough that she didn’t falter in public, especially since those present were her relatives, naturally biased towards her.
“Tsk tsk, our dear cousin and brother-in-law seem to have a great relationship,” came another teasing voice. Su Wenyue turned to look and it was her cousin whom she hadn’t seen for many years. Though he had matured and looked worn by time, his features hadn’t changed much and his charisma was as dazzling as ever, undiminished by the trials he faced, so she recognized him at first glance.
“Cousin, you just know how to tease me. I won’t have it!” Su Wenyue pouted, though her face showed a touch of laughter and her tone was familiar and natural, without any awkwardness from years of separation, just like close siblings. Not only did Han Yu feel jealous, but Su Hengyi also felt a twinge of envy.
At that moment, Su Wenyue thought back to her previous life and all that her cousin had done for her. This was the first time she had seen him since being reborn, and her gaze was filled with fervor.
Su Hengjing could also sense his cousin’s extraordinary affection, the admiration and gratitude clear in her gaze.
