Chapter 361 - Chapter 361: Chapter 368: Restoring to Original State (2/2)
Han Yu, seeing his wife’s teary, red eyes, said, “Daughter-in-law, I’m not really heartless or selfish. There are just some things I can’t control, things I never anticipated, like you. I knew I was a detached and almost selfish person, keeping merely a sense of gratitude and filial piety towards my parents, not feeling particularly close. Meeting you allowed you to gradually enter my heart, and only then did I realize there was someone in the world who could mean so much to me, who could have such a tremendous impact on my life. I just want to spend our lives together, ensuring you have good days.”
“Husband, I understand. I know you want what’s best for me. I didn’t take it the wrong way. You are not selfish at all; such thoughts are natural. In fact, I’d rather you were selfish, preferring that you be good to me and me alone,” Su Wenyue said as she approached and hugged Han Yu, her face radiating happiness.
Since her rebirth, all she had hoped for was to lead a peaceful and stable life. Because of her experiences in her previous life, she hadn’t set high expectations for Han Yu—yet now she was experiencing such a day.
Han Yu, seeing his wife so content, smiled slightly, his robust hand gently stroking her head, saying no more. He was, after all, a man of few words, not inclined to speak much when it wasn’t necessary. And considering he’d just opened his heart to his wife, speaking more than usual, he felt satisfied with the outcome.
The couple shared their innermost feelings, significantly strengthening their bond. After a long embrace, they turned their attention back to the colorful exquisite lamp, pondering how to deal with it.
“Husband, many people covet this colorful exquisite lamp, and having it might not bode well for us. It might be better to give it away and find the right person to entrust it with,” Su Wenyue said, having found the answers she sought. There was no need to keep the lamp, which only brought unnecessary trouble.
Han Yu was on the same page. He had been hesitant before because of his wife’s attitude towards the lamp, but now that she had spoken, he was relieved. However, he noticed the lamp, dismantled to the point of unrecognizability on the table.
“Daughter-in-law, now that the lamp is dismantled like this, can it still be restored?” he asked.
Su Wenyue nodded, walked to the table, and picked up the dismantled parts of the lamp, which were beyond recognition, and began to assemble them without a moment’s hesitation. Her technique was impressively familiar, and in no time, the lamp was restored to its original state, indistinguishable from before, except for the sheepskin map she took out.
“Take this with you. This is something many people want, and we might find a use for it later,” Su Wenyue pressed the sheepskin map into Han Yu’s arms. Although it was of no use to them at present, Han Yu was a man of ambition, and who knew if it might prove useful one day.
As Han Yu took the sheepskin map, his mouth twitched, “Daughter-in-law, is this alright? Those people must have been after the map, and if they find that it’s missing, they might suspect us.”
