Chapter 350: Chapter 357: Bound to Succeed

Smart people sometimes don’t need many words; just one look can reach mutual understanding between two men, making them more careful to protect the women by their sides.

Ye Xinxin was entirely in a state of excitement and didn’t notice the change in her man; Su Wenyue also carelessly forgot herself, eyeing the lively crowd, especially the exquisite flower lanterns on the arena, wanting to move forward a bit, only to be encircled by Han Yu.

Su Wenyue looked up at Han Yu, a bit puzzled and confused. Han Yu usually paid attention to his image when outside, maintaining a serious demeanor; why was he acting so, um, clingy today? He had been holding her hand the whole time and didn’t want to let go, and now he was wrapping his arms around her waist, a bit too intimately. Even Su Wenyue herself felt somewhat embarrassed.

“Husband, there are so many people around us, this isn’t very appropriate, is it?” Su Wenyue whispered to Han Yu, her face turning red, not knowing if it was from excitement or shyness.

Han Yu was merely thinking of keeping his daughter-in-law well within his protective range to prevent any unforeseen situations and hadn’t considered anything else. Catching sight of his daughter-in-law’s cute reaction, the corners of his mouth curved into a slightly evil smirk, as he began to entertain the idea of teasing Su Wenyue.

“Don’t worry, daughter-in-law, no one is paying attention to us. Besides, we’re husband and wife, even if someone noticed, it wouldn’t matter,” Han Yu said, his voice tinged with a hint of ambiguity, especially his hand movements which were hidden from curious eyes, making Su Wenyue even more nervous.

Su Wenyue’s round eyes scanned the people around her, fearful someone would spot Han Yu’s subtle actions, feeling a mix of a desire to cry and helplessness. She didn’t understand what had gotten into Han Yu, acting so recklessly in public, seriously challenging her limits. It was because of her nervousness that she ended up focusing all her attention on being on guard, failing to notice the trace of ridicule on Han Yu’s face.

If Han Yu had initially found his daughter-in-law’s shy and flustered appearance amusing, now he was genuinely laughing. He couldn’t help but let out a low, pleasant laugh, tinged with a seductive quality.

It was then that Su Wenyue realized Han Yu was teasing her. She relaxed a little inside but also felt a mix of annoyed embarrassment.

“Han Yu, you jerk, teasing me like this, making me so nervous, you bad guy! Bad guy!” Su Wenyue lightly punched Han Yu a few times. If it weren’t for the crowd, she wouldn’t have held back from teaching Han Yu a good lesson.

“Alright, enough with the teasing. If you keep at it, everyone’s attention will be on you,” said Han Yu, not because he wasn’t shameless enough, but because he disliked being so frivolous in the public eye. He hadn’t been able to resist earlier, as seeing his daughter-in-law’s adorable behavior made him uncharacteristically act on impulse. Now, he had returned to his usual serious self, especially with Shangguan Wuyou and his wife Ye Xinxin looking their way.

Su Wenyue immediately stopped her small movements when Han Yu said this, her face turning even redder as she realized people were looking in their direction. She mentally cursed Han Yu many times for embarrassing her like this.

“Sister Yue, you and your husband have such a great relationship, showing affectionate banter in front of so many people, hehe, truly loving. It makes me jealous just watching,” Ye Xinxin said teasingly, her eyes and tone implying mischief, making Su Wenyue stamp her foot out of embarrassment, and she stomped on Han Yu’s foot hard.

While Han Yu felt pain in his foot, his face revealed nothing. He tightened his arm around Su Wenyue’s waist, looking at his somewhat ruffled wife. Shangguan Wuyou’s wife wasn’t one to hold back her words; if she continued, his wife would surely end up so mortified she’d want to hide from everyone.

Catching Han Yu’s gaze, Shangguan Wuyou saw Ye Xinxin still keen to tease and felt somewhat helpless: “Xinxin, stop it, don’t talk nonsense.”
