Chapter 527: Chapter 534: Taking You Away
Han Yu had been nothing but gentle with her during this time, his patience was undeniable, and the indulgent and doting look in his eyes made Su Wenyue feel it was a bit too much. Yet, it was exactly this overly patient demeanor that left her ire extinguished; no matter how much of a fuss Su Wenyue kicked up, he simply coaxed and indulged her until she ran out of steam and inevitably complied with his wishes, deflating her anger until she obediently followed along.
Seeing Su Wenyue lose all her vitality at the sight of him, wilting away, Han Yu knew right away what was on the girl’s mind. These past few days, he felt like he was raising a child, habitually patting Su Wenyue on the head: “Daughter-in-law, what’s wrong? You look so unhappy. Has someone bullied you?”
Su Wenyue internally rolled her eyes, too lazy to even speak up. It was obvious, Han Yu was knowingly asking despite being aware.
Watching his daughter-in-law turn her back on him, seemingly sulking, Han Yu effortlessly wrapped his arms around her and drew her into his embrace: “Daughter-in-law, what’s gotten into you? If you’re angry, don’t keep it bottled up inside, or it’ll harm your health. I’m here for you, husband. Feel free to vent at me all you want; I promise to take any beating or scolding without fighting back!”
Han Yu teased his daughter-in-law, placed a kiss on her pouting lips, and pinched her now slightly less chubby, tender cheeks. He thought he needed to feed her more to plump her up; she had become too thin, and the tactile pleasure was not as good as before.
“Husband, I’m going stir-crazy being cooped up in the room all day. Please let me go out for a walk—if not outside, at least let me wander in the courtyard. I’m getting so restless, husband!” Su Wenyue tugged at Han Yu’s arm, pleading coquettishly. She knew if she didn’t speak her mind directly, Han Yu would beat around the bush endlessly, and Su Wenyue wasn’t the patient type. She recalled how in her previous life, she spent years in the Sikong Mansion’s backyard, and being confined to a room was something anyone would find unbearable.
“Daughter-in-law, be good. You’re not well, and there are drafts outside, not to mention the damp weather. Don’t go out and catch a chill.” Han Yu had repeated this countless times.
As soon as Han Yu spoke, Su Wenyue showed an ‘as expected’ expression: “You always say this, but my health has improved a lot recently. Even Divine Doctor Mu didn’t say I absolutely couldn’t leave the room—he just warned against catching cold. I can wear more clothes, but if I keep being smothered in here, I’ll end up getting sick from the stuffiness.”
Han Yu, seeing his daughter-in-law so determined and not planning to back down, thought that perhaps it was indeed unfair to keep her confined for so long. If she really got worse because of this, it wouldn’t be good. So, he finally relented: “Alright, you have a point there. But you are not to go out today. Tomorrow, after Divine Doctor Mu has examined you, if he gives permission, I’ll take you out. Now, rest obediently and no more fussing!”
Although Han Yu didn’t agree to let her go out immediately, this response was already a concession. Su Wenyue knew this was Han Yu’s limit and refrained from pushing further or pestering him, hastily nodding her head in agreement, her face lit with a mix of happiness and excitement: “Okay, I’ll rest obediently, but you have to keep your word, or I will turn on you.”
“Alright, I promise to keep my word, but before you rest, you must eat all the food I had the kitchen prepare…”
After Divine Doctor Mu had examined Su Wenyue and confirmed her condition was fairly good, allowing her to take some walks, Han Yu, although worried, stayed true to his word. Su Wenyue finally felt liberated. Although she still faced some restrictions from Han Yu, it was much better than being perpetually stuck in the room.
