Chapter 364 - Chapter 364: Chapter 371: Do You Mind (2/2)

“Husband, I never expected such an fantastical event to happen to me. Does it… bother you?” Su Wenyue asked, slightly cautious and nervous, as Han Yu had given no response for a moment.

“I don’t mind—it doesn’t matter if you’re reborn, you’re still my Wife, aren’t you? As long as we treat each other well from now on.” Han Yu admitted that not minding at all wasn’t quite accurate as the whole thing was rather bizarre, but considering how well he had accepted such news was already significant. However, seeing his wife fretful and anxious, his heart softened, understanding that what she needed most was his affirmation, so he assured her without hesitation.

Having heard Han Yu say this settled Su Wenyue’s mind a bit. After all, Han Yu was no ordinary man; otherwise, just hearing her story might have scared him, or worse, he might have regarded her as a monster. Han Yu seemed undisturbed by her revelation and reacted quite normally.

“My Wife, I’m still not quite clear on something you mentioned earlier. You’re also saying that this Colorful exquisite lamp appeared in your previous life, right? Who ended up with the lamp then?”

Knowing that Han Yu asked with some purpose in mind, Su Wenyue didn’t hide anything: “In my previous life, I didn’t attend that Flower Lantern Festival, so I don’t know the specifics. I only know that in the end, the Colorful exquisite lamp fell into the hands of Sikong Ling. Sikong Ling gathered many eccentrics and skilled craftsmen, but ultimately, they could not unlock the lantern.”

“Then how did the lantern end up in your hands?” Han Yu’s question was naturally founded on something—since Su Wenyue claimed she had never seen the lantern in her previous life, her earlier reaction and familiarity with the lantern were unexpected. She must have been the one to obtain the Colorful exquisite lamp. Moreover, she had mentioned that her rebirth had a significant connection to the lamp.

“I…” Su Wenyue was taken aback by Han Yu’s question, momentarily at a loss for words.

Seeing his wife’s expression, Han Yu felt a twinge of discomfort. He had noticed that his wife’s reactions to Sikong Ling were abnormal, as if there had been some interaction in the past, but he was unable to uncover anything. Now it appeared the issue stemmed from the previous life. Furthermore, considering the way she inadvertently showed familiarity with Sikong Ling, jealousy stirred within him.

“Did you acquire this Colorful exquisite lamp from Sikong Ling?” Han Yu asked, discerning a subtle shift in Su Wenyue’s complexion and feeling more certain of the answer. Sikong Ling was not the kind of man to let go of possessions easily; it would be difficult for others to covet his belongings, let alone a weak woman like Su Wenyue craft a strategy to obtain them. And since his wife had mentioned wrongdoing in her previous life, Han Yu believed she was not capable of such acts, yet the reality presented made him reluctantly consider this possibility.

Realizing she couldn’t evade the question, Su Wenyue knew that if she spoke of her connection with Sikong Ling, even someone as magnanimous as Han Yu couldn’t overlook the fact that his woman had been entangled with another man. Given Han Yu’s possessiveness, but if she hid the truth, Han Yu’s intelligence would lead him to suspect something anyway. This matter would become a thorn in his side.

“I, at that time, was naive and arrogant, not to your liking. You treated me poorly, and Han Lin and Mrs. Wang lusted after the Zhuangzi included in my dowry. They plotted against me, and afterwards…”
