Chapter 385: Chapter 392: A Mind on Guard
Supporting Han Yu to the study room, Su Wenyue was about to leave when she suddenly thought of Chen Li’s words. She hesitated but did not enter. After a struggle in her mind, she felt somewhat relieved. Why should she let Chen Li’s deliberate provocation affect her and make her feel inferior? It would be better to think about other ways to support Han Yu. Naturally, the reason Liu Xiu valued Chen Li was not for true affection, but for the benefits that Chen Li could bring to him.
After returning from the study room, Su Wenyue washed up. Having traveled a long distance, she was tired and dozed off on the bed, not expecting to fall asleep so soundly.
When Han Yu returned, he saw his daughter-in-law lying sound asleep on the bed, unable to hide the fatigue on her face. He felt a pang of distress and remembered how she must have rushed here without eating properly out of concern for his injuries. Now that she knew he was alright and her worries had subsided, she could no longer stay awake, dark circles forming under her eyes.
“Madam, did you have anything to eat before you slept?”
Han Yu received a negative answer and felt even more pained. His daughter-in-law must have been worried about his injury, which was why she rushed on the road without rest. Now that she knew he was safe, she let her guard down and couldn’t hold on any longer, evident from the dark circles under her eyes.
“Master, would you like to dine first?” The servant girl saw that Han Yu had no intention of waking Su Wenyue and asked.
“No, wait for my wife to wake up, and we’ll dine together. Tell the kitchen to prepare the food.” After Han Yu finished speaking, he dismissed the servants from the room and quietly stayed by his daughter-in-law’s side. The room was silent except for the sound of breathing. For the first time in more than a year, Han Yu felt such peace and tranquility. Indeed, a place with his wife felt like a true home.
Su Wenyue slept deeply. When it was already dark outside, Han Yu, although reluctant to disturb his daughter-in-law’s sweet dreams, thought about how she hadn’t eaten well all day. She should eat something before continuing to sleep, as it wasn’t good for her health otherwise.
“Daughter-in-law, Lady Yue, wake up.” Han Yu pinched his wife’s delicate and straight nose, gently calling her awake.
Su Wenyue was having a pleasant dream and was reluctantly awakened by Han Yu. She pouted and complained, “What are you doing? You’re so annoying, I was having such a lovely dream.”
Han Yu looked at his daughter-in-law’s adorable appearance and, mindful of his injuries, couldn’t move too much. He leaned down and kissed her forehead, “Wife, it’s late, and you haven’t eaten properly today. Going to bed hungry isn’t good for your health. Have dinner first, then continue sleeping.”
Su Wenyue lazily stayed in bed for quite a while before being coaxed out of bed by Han Yu. She used to love sleeping in, but since she had three children, it had been a long time since she had indulged in that luxury, especially this past year. Without Han Yu by her side, she had more responsibilities and feared she was not taking good care of their children. She had to wake up early every day to tend to them.
Han Yu actually loved caring for his daughter-in-law, and now that he was free, he didn’t seek others’ help. He personally helped his wife dress and wash her face, then served her a bowl of soup.
Su Wenyue leaned lazily against Han Yu, feeling very comfortable being cared for. Having a man by her side made a difference, especially with Han Yu’s behavior, which had improved. She felt Han Yu did this out of a sense of guilt but did not point it out, contentedly accepting his care.
