Chapter 540: Chapter 547: So Arrogant

Although Han Yu’s words were a tad chauvinistic, Su Wenyue still felt quite pleased to hear them; she had no great ambitions and merely wanted to live her peaceful little life without the desire to compete with men for power. It was a good thing for a man to be willing to shoulder responsibilities.

“I just love this side of you, Husband. You’re getting better at speaking; it’s satisfying to hear. Just remember, such sweet talk is only for me. Don’t think I’m unaware of the barracks’ gossip about women when you guys have downtime. Don’t let them influence you, because you know very well how fierce your daughter-in-law can be. Who knows what I might be capable of,” Su Wenyue said as she gripped Han Yu’s collar, her tone imperious with a hint of a threat. Although it was a jealous remark, it didn’t come off as unpleasant at all.

Su Wenyue was being cautious, eliminating any potential threats before they could arise. Foolish women only know how to quarrel and get jealous over insignificant matters; there’s no fun in that. A truly smart woman knows to keep a firm grasp on her man so that everything else ceases to be an issue.

“How would I dare? With a little vinegar pot at home, I wouldn’t think of cozying up to another woman, for fear of toppling over the vinegar jar,” Han Yu said with a laugh as he pinched Su Wenyue’s nose. His wife’s jealousy was a good sign; it meant she cared about him, and he wasn’t a lecherous man anyway—one woman he liked was enough for him.

“So it’s not that you don’t want to, you just don’t dare,” Su Wenyue mimicked Han Yu’s usual threatening squint, but without his domineering aura, she ended up looking rather comical.

Naturally, Han Yu knew what his wife wanted to hear, but this time, he didn’t respond according to Su Wenyue’s wishes. Instead, he said, “Indeed, which is why you must stick close to me and not give any other woman a chance. If you pull a stunt like this one again, you might end up losing such a fine husband to another woman.”

Su Wenyue put on a displeased expression upon hearing this, but inside, she felt somewhat moved. It seemed Han Yu had been genuinely scared by what happened this time, which was why he was saying these things to frighten her. What could this be, if not care? A person like Han Yu, if he really harbored such thoughts, would never speak of them so openly.

“Alright, Han Yu! So you’ve had such thoughts. Let me tell you, forget about letting another woman take my place—I’ll keep a tight watch on you for life. If you dare as much as glance at another woman, you’ll face the sham family law when we get home!” Su Wenyue declared dominantly, indirectly assuring Han Yu as well.

Thinking it over, she realized her actions had indeed been foolish. She had gone off course in her thinking. While on the surface, it all seemed to be for Han Yu, in reality, it stemmed from her lack of trust that he would prioritize her over his career. If truly forced to choose, she feared she’d be the one abandoned. Rather than endure such an outcome, she’d prefer a clean death…added to that, the unsavory gazes of those people —a woman’s chastity is so precious— pushed her to choose the cruel option of jumping off the cliff, thinking it for the best, yet ultimately cruel to Han Yu.

Han Yu was very pleased with Su Wenyue’s response, but on the surface, he joked, “Then you better keep a close eye, because your husband has both talent and looks—there are plenty of women coveting me.”

“Don’t worry. No matter if it’s some seductive vixen, if one comes, I’ll chase one away. I’ll beat them off with a big stick, and don’t you dare feel sorry for them,” she said confidently.

“The only one I’d feel sorry for is my own daughter-in-law. How you deal with other women is entirely your business, I won’t object. However, speaking of which, you’ve recovered nicely over this period, able to wield a stick and all. So lively and vigorous, your strength must be back… Your husband has been dry for so long, perhaps it’s time you fulfill your wifely duties.”
