Chapter 540 - Chapter 540: Chapter 547: So Arrogant (2/2)
“I don’t think so, all you men ever think about are those meaningless things,” Su Wenyue retorted, caught off guard by Han Yu’s sudden shift to such matters. Knowing that Han Yu had been considerate of her health and they hadn’t been intimate for a long time, she felt a mix of shyness and a bit of panic,
“There’s no avoiding it. Meeting your husband’s needs is part of your wifely duties. Since you’re such a little vinegar pot, with no one else to take care of me, you’ll have to do it yourself.”
“Um, well…”
An evening of passion ensued, with a tempest of love to rival the clouds and rain of Mount Wu.
Ever since Su Wenyue had angered Sikong Ling that day, he hadn’t shown his face for several days. Whether he was too busy, or merely afraid of Su Wenyue seeking retribution, she had actually wondered if Sikong Ling had realized the impropriety of his shamelessness, hence his absence.
No sooner had she thought this than Sikong Ling appeared before her, his demeanor as sanctimonious as ever, though his eyes betrayed an added emotion.
“Sikong Ling, you dare to show up!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Peach Blossom Valley is my turf. It’s only you, little girl, who’s so inhospitable to her host. If I didn’t take a liking to you, I would’ve thrown you to the wolves in Wild Wolf Valley long ago; how dare you act so arrogantly!” said Sikong Ling, taking advantage of Su Wenyue’s unguarded moment to tap her forehead, then he strode into the room. He had already asked if Han Yu was in before coming over.
Han Yu invited Sikong Ling to sit, for although Peach Blossom Valley belonged to Sikong Ling, the small courtyard was currently their living space; in this small courtyard, they were the masters.
“Young Master Sikong, you’ve come over at this time, surely there’s something you need to discuss?” Han Yu’s tone was certain. Sikong Ling, being the master of Peach Blossom Valley, was well aware of every little movement within. Previously, he had always chosen to visit when Han Yu was away, but now he had chosen this time, presumably with something to say to him.
“I’ve come to bid farewell. Yiyang Prefecture is likely to fall soon, and Chang’an City has been restless these days. Those people are making frequent moves; I must return to deal with some matters, chop off some unsettled claws. Otherwise, all these annoyances really irritate one,” Sikong Ling said nonchalantly as if it were nothing more than a common, easy task. However, Su Wenyue could hear the tumultuous undercurrents and bloody nature of his words. Sikong Ling wasn’t one to act lightly, but when he did, his actions were cruel and ruthless, leaving no room for escape. It seemed like quite a few people were in for some bad luck. Su Wenyue was no saint and had no interest in sympathizing with those about to be targeted by Sikong Ling; she was more concerned about her own issues.
“Since you’re going back to Chang’an, what about Han Yu and me? Can we leave now?” Su Wenyue asked bluntly, the question that Han Yu couldn’t ask.
“Tch, you naïve little girl! What does my return to Chang’an have to do with your leaving Peach Blossom Valley? Han Yu can leave whenever he wishes; I’m not holding him back. But as for you, with your rude attitude towards me, it makes me quite uncomfortable. Better you stay put in Peach Blossom Valley and don’t go causing trouble elsewhere.”
