Chapter 549 - Chapter 549: Chapter 555 (2/2)

su wenyue did not expect han yu would suddenly lift her in his arms; it was a little embarrassing in front of the children, so she struggled a bit: “han yu, don’t do this, not in front of the children. put me down quickly, do not let the children see us and laugh.”

su wenyue would have been somewhat more comfortable before, but having been away for quite some time, she was even less at ease and felt especially shy about such intimate actions in front of the children.

han yu gave a warning glare to the person in his arms and gestured with his eyes for his wife to calm down, before turning to the three children: “your mother has suffered a lot this time; she just recovered from a serious illness, and her body is not very strong, she needs to rest well and cannot be overworked. but your mother missed you all so much, she wanted to see you sooner, and so she traveled through the night to return quickly, ignoring the fatigue from the journey. her strength is already overdrawn, and she must rest early; she can’t be tired anymore. i know you also miss mother, but for her well-being, would it be okay for her to go rest now?”

before, han yu might have simply issued commands, as it is natural for children to obey their parents. but seeing how intelligent and well-mannered the children were, he changed his attitude and spoke to them in a negotiating tone.

indeed, the three children were initially reluctant to let their mother go, but after hearing han yu’s words and understanding it was for her good, they resolutely nodded agreement and expressed their worry and concern: “mother has just recovered from a serious illness, what illness did she suffer from, why did she get sick? dad must take good care of mother.”

su wenyue appreciated the children’s concerns: “do not worry, it was just a minor issue; i simply slept for a while, and it’s not as severe as your father made it sound.”

“that matter is past now, and if you wish to know, your father will tell you later. now, your mother needs to rest, and you need to rest as well! you are young and growing; this time was an exception. in the future, staying up late is not allowed, do you hear me?!” han yu said sternly, and the three children nodded their heads quickly.

su wenyue did not want the children to worry, so she glossed over the matter, but han yu held a different view. on the one hand, according to his educational philosophy, he wanted his children to be resilient, so there was no need to hide many things from them but to let them make their own judgments. also, the sacrifices their mother had made for them had to be known so that the children would appreciate and be grateful for her efforts.

while su wenyue’s educational philosophy was similar to han yu’s, the difference between a man’s and a woman’s approach was evident here. su wenyue also believed the children should be able to handle things, yet she could not be completely hard-hearted. when it came to critical issues, she was clear-headed and could be strict, but on things she perceived as less important, she was not so decisive and was more inclined to coddle the children.

“yes, father, we understand. we won’t ask anymore and will go to rest right away.” the three children, having heard their father speak thus, stopped asking any further questions, urging him to carefully take their mother to rest, expressing that they could take care of themselves, being precociously responsible.

han yu nodded, carrying su wenyue and striding out of the room. since nanny had been dealt with, and the servant girls who had waited on her were also disposed of for not reporting the nanny, despite not being directly involved, the children had no attendants by their sides. it was too late to bother the feng family, so han yu directly appointed two of his secret guards to protect the children from the shadows, not letting the children be aware. han yu intended to foster their independence, having managed just fine himself as a child without attendants.

speaking of the secret guards, han yu had originally assigned qi luo to stay with the children, but after learning they were safe, he then sent qi luo on other tasks.
