Chapter 541: Chapter 548: Too Much Fun
Sikong Ling spoke slowly, his face bearing a schadenfreude grin that clearly screamed, “I’m not happy, and I’m going to play with you,” leaving Su Wenyue pointing at Sikong Ling, too angry to speak.
Watching Su Wenyue’s vividly changing expressions, Sikong Ling’s smile grew even brighter. Ever since he once infuriated Su Wenyue to the point of exploding, Sikong Ling found he had fallen in love with this kind of interaction, even considering it a delight.
But with Han Yu present, where could he enjoy bullying and teasing his daughter-in-law? Pulling his wife into his arms, he patted her back, “Daughter-in-law, calm down, calm down. I’m here, and you needn’t worry about anything. Don’t let this upset you—people like that aren’t worth it, okay?”
“You’re right, I need to stay calm. Just ignore the pleasure such a nasty person takes in his antics. Why let him affect my mood? I’ll listen to you, Husband.” As Su Wenyue spoke, she deliberately turned away, ignoring Sikong Ling.
Seeing Su Wenyue act this way, Sikong Ling found it truly no fun at all with Han Yu around and coldly huffed, “Childish!”
Su Wenyue’s response to Sikong Ling’s comment was just one word: “Tch!”
And indeed, it seemed Sikong Ling was a bit angry. He actually came over on purpose, wanting to have a word with Su Wenyue before leaving. Otherwise, he could have just sent a servant to inform Han Yu about his departure. Why bother coming over himself? Yet, Su Wenyue’s attitude now made it impossible for him speak properly.
Before, Han Yu hadn’t felt it, but now, being in the midst, watching the two interact this way, it seemed like watching two children, two immature children at that, always ready to bicker and get angry with each other.
Sikong Ling paused for a moment, and seeing that Su Wenyue remained buried in Han Yu’s embrace with no intention of paying him any mind, reluctantly stood up and said to Han Yu, “There’s nothing else. I’m leaving tomorrow, so I specifically came to bid you farewell. I’ve said what needed to be said, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Han Yu, well aware that Su Wenyue was being rude, had no intention to remind her and simply said, “May Young Master Sikong have a safe journey and may we meet again, take care.”
“Take care.” Sikong Ling spoke, turned around, and left. Before stepping out the door, he stole a subtle glance at Su Wenyue, and seeing that she was not looking his way, he hid the disappointment in his eyes and strode out without any further hesitation or pause.
Only after Sikong Ling’s figure had disappeared did Su Wenyue turn her head, her face marked with concern, “Husband, Sikong Ling is leaving Peach Blossom Valley tomorrow. Are you really sure about this?”
“Rest assured, when have I ever given you cause to worry when I handle things? It was set for these few days anyway. If Sikong Ling were here, I might have some concerns, but with him gone, breaking the mechanisms and array, there’s no one left in the valley who can stop us. The reason Peach Blossom Valley is so dreaded is because of its unique mechanisms and array, but now that they are no obstacle to us, the valley is just an ordinary place to me.”
