Chapter 383: Chapter 390: Straddling Two Boats

Su Wenyue already had her suspicions and knew that Han Yu was not one to be easily swayed by a beautiful woman. However, her words remained unforgiving, “What’s this? I find that Chen Li is quite pretty, and since she’s so devoted to you, it’s normal for you to have taken her to heart and find it difficult to let go.”

Han Yu tapped lightly on Su Wenyue’s forehead in a neither argumentative nor dismissive manner, clearly angered by her words, “Nonsense, don’t you know what kind of person I am? If we’re talking about looks, Chen Li isn’t even comparable to Chi Feifei. I’ve never been moved by her, not in the slightest. If you keep talking nonsense like this, don’t blame me for not being polite!”

Although chastised by Han Yu, Su Wenyue was not angry but felt much better inside. With those words, Han Yu had clarified certain matters and confirmed Su Wenyue’s suspicions. Her expression became gentler as she thought about how she had been acting prickly for a while, giving Han Yu plenty of attitude. It was about time to stop; one shouldn’t go overboard with anything.

“I know very well what kind of person you are, yet the things you’ve done this past year really give rise to speculation. It’s only because I trust you that I asked you a few nonchalant questions. And here you are, having the nerve to scold me!” Su Wenyue’s words were still blunt, but they no longer carried her previous sarcasm and were tinged with a teasing coyness as she glared at Han Yu.

Han Yu looked at his wife, who resembled an anxious little animal in need of petting, and unconsciously rubbed Su Wenyue’s head with indulgence and fondness, “Yes, my wife deeply understands righteousness and knows my heart best. She is the most virtuous wife.”

“You’re only realizing that now? With a wife like me, you should count your blessings!” Su Wenyue huffed, her face full of proud coquettishness.

“Indeed, I am thrice fortunate to have such a good wife in three lifetimes. My wife, you’ve been wronged these past days.” Saying so, Han Yu disregarded everything else and embraced her in his arms, hoping that his wife would feel his guilt and helplessness, ignoring the pain he felt in his body.

Su Wenyue leaned in Han Yu’s embrace willingly, and after a while, she rose and inquired about Chen Li. She might not pay attention to other women, but Chen Li was the illustrious ‘Noble Consort Li’ from her previous life, a woman not to be underestimated. Su Wenyue could not afford to ignore her.

“What’s the deal with that Chen Li anyway? I see her calling you ‘Big Brother Han’ all the time, seeming quite familiar with you. Moreover, she’s so targeted towards Chi Feifei, who is, nominally, your woman from outside. This inevitably makes people suspect.”

At the mention of Chen Li, Han Yu made no effort to hide his disgust, “She’s just a restless woman, but due to some reasons, I can’t be too harsh. You just need to treat her with the basic courtesy due to guests and try to have less to do with her on a day-to-day basis. She doesn’t strike me as a decent person, being restless is one thing, but she’s also loose-moraled.”
