Chapter 443: Chapter 450: The Great Battle is Imminent
“I had someone send her back,” Han Yu nodded, indicating he had planned to tell his daughter-in-law all along. Seeing her curiosity grow, he suddenly felt the urge to tease her and stopped mid-sentence, purposely not continuing his thought.
“Just like that?” Su Wenyue blinked, finding his response too concise. She wanted to know more than that; usually, Han Yu understood her thoughts, so why today, after her clear hints, did he not get it? Instead, he just took off his coat and prepared to wash up as if he was ready for bed.
“Yes, just like that. What else could I do? She’s a woman; should I have kept her at the mansion? I thought you sent someone to dispel my thoughts because you couldn’t stand that woman’s chatter and wanted me to send her away for you. It seems I misunderstood your intentions,” Han Yu perhaps misunderstood Su Wenyue on purpose, deliberately saying so, with an air as if he realized that he meddled where he wasn’t needed.
Su Wenyue felt somewhat frustrated. How could Han Yu become a bit foolish today, completely failing to grasp her point: “You didn’t misunderstand my intentions; I did send someone to call you away because I wanted you to get rid of Chen Li. But that’s not what I wanted to ask you. I wanted to know…”
Su Wenyue hadn’t finished her sentence when she saw Han Yu looking at her with a playful face and a malicious smile, realizing suddenly that he was playing with her!
“Fine, Han Yu, you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? You’re trying to tease me and make a mockery of me, right?! You clearly know what I’m asking, and you’re purposely diverting the subject. How can you be so nasty? Tell me, what happened after you took Chen Li away, and be honest. If you don’t fess up, I won’t let you off!”
Su Wenyue grabbed Han Yu fiercely as she spoke, though her delicate appearance and small stature failed to give her any intimidating presence.
“Oh? I’d like to know how my daughter-in-law will not let me off,” Han Yu said with a playful tone, watching as Su Wenyue clutched at his clothing; he simply pulled her into his arms and spoke with disbelief and teasing in his voice, clearly belittling her.
Such blatant disrespect was annoying! Seeing Han Yu so smug, Su Wenyue’s curiosity vanished. She wanted to see if she could handle him; he was simply too arrogant. Right there and then, she ordered loudly to the outside, “Shu Xiang, go tidy up the bed in the Inner Study Room. Your master will spend the night there today.”
After speaking, Su Wenyue turned to Han Yu, “Husband, I’m feeling upset and a little unwell today. You’ll have to make do with sleeping in the Inner Study Room for a while.”
Han Yu saw his daughter-in-law resort to this tactic, which was indeed quite cunning, but how could he agree? “Darling, you really want me to stay alone in that cold study room?”
Han Yu looked pitifully at her, but Su Wenyue remained unmoved, stupid man! He needed to be taught a lesson or he’d think she was easy to bully!
