Chapter 343 - Chapter 343: Chapter 351: Remaining Calm and Collected (2/2)

After Su Wenyue finished speaking, seeing Han Yu’s slightly uncomfortable expression, she became even more delighted. Usually, it was Han Yu lecturing her, but now the tables had turned unexpectedly. There was a refreshing novelty to it, and she found it incredibly satisfying. Especially with how mildly embarrassed Han Yu appeared, Su Wenyue practically glimmered with glee.

Han Yu found his wife’s reaction amusing. He was actually just teasing her willingly; he wasn’t truly afraid of the milk. Despite truly disliking the taste, he had endured much worse in the past, even swallowing chaff and vegetables during hard times. If he could stomach that, then a bowl of milk was nothing. It was all in good fun to entertain his wife.

“Husband, you are really not behaving well, not even as well as the three little guys.” Su Wenyue was clearly poking fun at Han Yu.

Su Wenyue continued to tease Han Yu until he pulled her into his lap, “You truly are a mischief-maker, feeling so happy at the chance to laugh at me. You thought I was as delicate as you, a picky eater. I was only playing with you.”

Han Yu said this as he took the bowl with one hand and drank the milk in one breath. To his surprise, the milk actually tasted pretty good, lacking that gamey flavor he had expected. He didn’t know what was added, but along with the rich milk scent was a hint of a subtle fruit fragrance, making it quite delicious. Moreover, it was warm; drinking it in the winter gave a cozy warm feeling.

“How about it? I didn’t lie, it’s tasty, isn’t it?” Su Wenyue didn’t feel embarrassed or awkward at Han Yu’s conduct. She indeed wanted to make fun of him and though she didn’t get her way, she still enjoyed the experience. Seeing Han Yu drink the milk, she immediately made a show of her contribution.

“Indeed, it’s delicious. My wife is truly amazing.” Han Yu said and looked at Aunt Li, who was serving at the side, “This nourishing drink is good. From now on, ensure it is prepared for the Madam for all three meals, and make sure it’s not missing.”

“Understood, I will remember,” replied the old servant.

“You didn’t have to instruct her; I would have done it anyway. You don’t know, milk doesn’t just nourish the body, it also nourishes the skin. Drinking it is good for the complexion.”

Su Wenyue savored the familiar taste. There was a saying, “beauty fades and love declines,” but she had put a lot of effort into maintaining her beauty. To keep up her appearance, she had tried many remedies. The most effective was a prescription given by an old women from the palace, and milk was one of the main ingredients. Luckily, Sikong Ling was never stingy with her in terms of food, so she was able to drink a bowl every day.

Han Yu noticed that while drinking, his wife sometimes showed the same pensive expression that she used to. But lately, she rarely had such moments of distraction. He wasn’t sure what she was thinking, but he didn’t say anything, silently taking note.

Lost in thought, Su Wenyue didn’t realize Han Yu’s observant gaze until he spoke up.

“Wife, what’s on your mind? You’ve already finished the milk in the bowl and are still clinging to it. If you like it, I’ll pour you another bowl,” Han Yu said casually. Su Wenyue snapped back to reality and felt inexplicably guilty towards Han Yu.
