Chapter 306: caffold thin Cait

“It’s a good thing, you’ll know in a moment.” Han Yu had wanted to show the item to Su Wenyue earlier, but since Deng Chen had followed him home, he had to entertain guests first. Now that Deng Chen had left, Han Yu eagerly led Su Wenyue back to the room. He wasn’t really in such a rush; he just wanted to show it to Su Wenyue sooner, to give his daughter-in-law a surprise. After all, it had always been his daughter-in-law who did more for him; it was rare that he managed to do something well for her, and that made Han Yu’s heart swell with joy.

“What good thing?” Su Wenyue looked at the slightly upturned corners of Han Yu’s mouth, his cheerful demeanor indeed seemed to suggest something good was at hand, but what could make Han Yu elated to such an extent? After all, even when Han Yu was promoted in the past, he remained very composed; now he looked like an eager young lad ready to confess his feelings.

“Daughter-in-law, take a look and see if this is pretty?” After pulling Su Wenyue back to the room, Han Yu took out a package, opened the box inside, which held an exquisite butterfly gold hairpin of superb artisanship. No, it shouldn’t be called just a gold hairpin, it was gold inlaid with jade, with carved white jade pieces set into it, a level of craftsmanship not typical fair by any ordinary artisan, truly a work of genius.

“I love it, this hairpin is really beautiful. Is this for me?” Su Wenyue stared unblinkingly at the gold hairpin in her hand, where the gold met the jade there wasn’t a single seam visible, as if they were naturally formed together, which evidently couldn’t be the case. This only highlighted the craftsmanship’s excellence, comparable even to her own embroidery skills.

“I’m glad you like it.” Han Yu watched his daughter-in-law delightedly, his own heart filling with happiness. He thought if his daughter-in-law knew he had also brought back the artisan who crafted the hairpin, she would be overjoyed; his efforts in locating the artisan would not have been in vain.

“So the reason you rushed to bring me back here was to give me this gold hairpin. You didn’t really give me many gifts before, so I must take good care of this hairpin. It’s rare for my husband to be so thoughtful.”

Su Wenyue treasured the gold hairpin, holding it as if it were precious, not because she hadn’t seen finer things but because this hairpin, given by Han Yu, held a different meaning. Of course, Su Wenyue was also performing intentionally. A man sometimes needs to be humored. Seeing how hastily Han Yu had acted, it was clear he had really put his heart into it. Other men might not behave this way, but for Han Yu to do so was not easy. Remembering Han Yu’s cold and unfeeling manner in her previous life, Su Wenyue sometimes doubted if this was the same person, sometimes feeling the happiness was unreal.

Han Yu hadn’t expected that giving such a small gift to his daughter-in-law would elicit such a reaction and words from her, her treasuring it so. He felt somewhat ashamed and self-reproachful. His nature wasn’t one to show off his feelings; even with affection, he kept it hidden in his heart. Consequently, he had never given his daughter-in-law anything before. Reflecting on this, he honestly felt like an incompetent husband, having let his wife suffer without caring for her feelings. He had always taken her efforts for granted, now swearing in his heart that he must treat her even better in the future.

“Daughter-in-law, I’ve been so busy these days that I’ve neglected you,” Han Yu’s voice carried a note of apology. They say a man aiming for great achievements shouldn’t be entangled in romance. Although he didn’t quite agree, he indeed hadn’t had much time to take care of everything at home, and his concern for his wife had diminished compared to before.

“Husband, don’t talk like that. I know you’ve been busy outside, and everything at home is just fine. When you’re done with your busy schedule, just spend more time with me,” Su Wenyue had no issues with this. In fact, with her previous life as a reference, she felt Han Yu was already doing very well, plus she was busy too. Even if Han Yu had time, she might not be able to make herself available, but she still expressed her need for him appropriately.
