Chapter 413 - Chapter 413: Chapter 420: What Consequence (2/2)

When Su Wenyue woke up in the morning, to her surprise, she found that Han Yu hadn’t left but was lying beside her, looking at her with tender eyes, relaxed and comfortable.

These Days, there had been too much going on outside, and Han Yu had been very busy, typically leaving early in the morning and not returning until late. It was unusual for him to have such leisure, and Su Wenyue turned over, lazily nestling into Han Yu’s embrace.

“Husband, don’t you have tasks to attend to today?” Su Wenyue’s voice was somewhat hoarse from just waking up.

“It’s no trouble, everything has been arranged. After being busy for so long without a moment to spare, today I’ve decided to take a day off to spend with you and the Child,” Han Yu had thought about it a lot yesterday. Although he couldn’t bear to be separated from his Daughter-in-law and was worried about her safety, he still wanted to send his Daughter-in-law and Child to a safe place, so he had specially made time today.

Although Han Yu used his usual tone, Su Wenyue could hear something different in it, as his behavior today was too out of character. Han Yu was a man with a strong sense of purpose, yet now, he had taken a whole day off to spend with her and the Child—something seemed off.

“Husband, has something happened? You mustn’t hide anything from me. If you do, don’t expect me to forgive you this time!” Su Wenyue, haunted by the shadows of the last incident, although that event had been unforeseen and out of desperation, she had decided to forgive Han Yu. But she never wanted to go through that again, hence her firm and decisive tone.

Han Yu was surprised by his Daughter-in-law’s acumen, but upon reflection, he felt guilty and pained. The previous incident had terrified his Daughter-in-law. Had she been any other woman, she wouldn’t have trusted him as much, nor would she have cooperated so tacitly, let alone been so strong to shoulder the burden alone and raise the Child so well. She, who usually acted spoiled and willful, had shown more responsibility than anyone at that time.

“Daughter-in-law,” Han Yu called out softly, his voice laden with helplessness and guilt, corroborating Su Wenyue’s words.

Su Wenyue’s expression grew serious, her large eyes staring directly at Han Yu as if trying to peer into his heart. “Husband, I’m serious. I, Su Wenyue, am not a weak person. If there is any problem, just tell me, and we will face it together. But you mustn’t make decisions without telling me. Otherwise, I will never forgive you. I’m not joking with you. Although the last situation wasn’t entirely your fault, and you had your reasons, I won’t endure something like that again. I’d rather live alone with the Child than spend my Days in fear and worry.”

Stunned by the earnestness and pain in Su Wenyue’s voice, Han Yu realized how deeply he had hurt his Daughter-in-law. He had thought she understood him since her reaction had seemed to show it. If she hadn’t spoken up this time, he wouldn’t have known that she harbored such resolute thoughts. If he made another unilateral decision, Han Yu didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.

“Daughter-in-law, I’m sorry!” Seeing his Daughter-in-law in pain, Han Yu felt even more heartache and held her tightly in his arms.

Having kept her feelings hidden for so long and with so much time having passed since the ordeal, even during the most difficult and uncertain times, Su Wenyue had remained resolute. Now, however, she broke down, crying bitterly in Han Yu’s embrace.
