Chapter 373 - Chapter 373: Chapter 380: Distressing to Watch (2/2)

Although Chi Feifei was somewhat worried and frightened by Su Wenyue’s reaction, she didn’t intend to miss such a good opportunity and persisted with her teary, aggrieved manner. “Sister, I… I dare not… Please don’t misunderstand my relationship with the Master. It’s really not like what you’re thinking. The Master is a good man.”

Su Wenyue’s smile grew more gleeful, her gaze fixed on Chi Feifei with a somewhat mischievous look. “Since you put it that way, if I did nothing, wouldn’t I be letting down your impressive and energetic performance?”

“You… what do you want to do? Don’t mess around, huh.” Chi Feifei was eager to provoke Su Wenyue, but things weren’t going quite as she’d hoped. Nonetheless, the thought of Han Yu’s arrival gave her a sense of security, believing Su Wenyue wouldn’t dare to act rashly in the Master’s presence.

“What are you standing there for? Get moving! She dares to frame and insult the mistress while putting on such a disgusting act – teach her what the rules are!”

As soon as Su Wenyue finished speaking, Aunt Li charged toward Chi Feifei with the servants. Aunt Li was experienced in dealing with such matters. Chi Feifei hadn’t expected Su Wenyue to get physical so quickly, and forgetting everything else, she tried to call out desperately to Han Yu for help.

In the brief time it took for this to happen, Han Yu, even if he moved slowly, had already arrived, and with one glance at Chi Feifei’s antics, he saw right through her tricks. However, it wouldn’t be good to expose her outright, as he still had a drama to perform for those in hiding. He helplessly called out for his wife.

“Wife, why are you here?” Even as he played along, Han Yu couldn’t bear to raise his voice against his wife.

By now, Su Wenyue had looked over. She hadn’t seen Han Yu in some time, and he seemed to have lost weight, looking rather haggard, a sign of restless sleep. Su Wenyue felt a pang of pity and longing, but recalling the nonsense he’d been up to these past days, and then seeing the pitiful Chi Feifei crying, her expression chilled. Regardless of whether it was true, the sight was unsettling.

“Yes, I came at a most inopportune time and spoiled your lovely moment! Seeing the Beauty look so pitiable must tug at your heart, huh?!” Su Wenyue said with a cold, mocking laugh, her words laced with venom.

“Wife, I don’t mean it that way. Just calm down. Getting mad is harmful to your health,” Han Yu said helplessly, knowing his wife was indeed furious. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spoken those words, but just as he finished, he saw a sign from the shadows.

Chi Feifei felt dejected, considering her zealous performance had been for naught – accomplishing nothing. Looking at Han Yu’s behavior toward Su Wenyue, a chill settled in her heart. Han Yu had previously warned her not to harbor illusions and had offered very reasonable conditions: complete their deal and leave. She hadn’t taken it to heart and was even less willing to give up so easily. After all, it wasn’t often she met such a fine man. Giving up on him would be foolish. She figured that with the right strategies, relying on her talents and beauty, she could surely captivate this man. Now, it seemed she had been too optimistic. Not to mention that Su Wenyue and her retinue were no easy targets, but Han Yu’s attitude alone meant she wouldn’t find any favor.
