Chapter 297: Chapter 305: Over Excitement
“Do you think we’re living in poverty now? Are you that averse to our life together?” Han Yu asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, seemingly casual but laced with danger. Su Wenyue, upon seeing that expression on Han Yu’s face and recalling her own angry words from before, felt something was amiss. Why did she foolishly parrot the words of that daughter-in-law? Now she has likely confirmed what Han Yu said, it had been too long since Han Yu had ‘dealt with’ her, and Su Wenyue had somewhat forgotten Han Yu’s taboos and limits.
“No, of course not. I think it’s very nice. Didn’t we agree to live like this for a lifetime? Besides, we already have three children.”
“Really, is that truly what you think?” Han Yu still wore that smile that wasn’t quite a smile, but it was accompanied by a touch of skepticism, as if he didn’t quite believe Su Wenyue’s words.
“Of course that’s what I think. Why would you doubt that? I was just too angry just now, and besides, those weren’t my words. I was just carried away for a moment, so I imitated a few phrases. Why didn’t you make things clear earlier?” Su Wenyue was no fool; besides, her words were spoken in a fit of pique, meant to annoy Han Yu – although she did mean them to some extent at that moment, she would never admit it, especially since it was impractical.
“So now you’re blaming me? Then tell me, where did you hear those words?” Han Yu felt a tickling itch in his teeth. This little thing had learned to push the blame onto others, and he hadn’t guessed wrong – she had picked these words up from others.
“Where else could I have heard them? Just at noon today when our family hosted the villagers for lunch. I overheard that couple joking with each other, their conversation was quite amusing.” Su Wenyue said without any attempt to hide the truth.
“You never learn the good stuff, only picking up these pointless things. From now on, don’t ever say words like these again. I don’t want to hear them,” Han Yu warned as he tapped Su Wenyue’s forehead. It turned out that taking his daughter-in-law with him to Xinluo Town had been the right decision. If he had left her in the village as Mother suggested, who knew what kind of nonsense she would have learned from those ignorant village ladies.
“And if you hear it again, what will you do?” Su Wenyue muttered under her breath, dissatisfied. It was more of a rhetorical mumble – she didn’t expect Han Yu to hear it.
But Han Yu, with his keen hearing, caught it and looked at Su Wenyue leisurely, a devilish smile tugging at the corner of his mouth: “What do you think I could do to you? If you don’t believe me, we can try right now. After all, you don’t have anything to do tomorrow. You can just lie in the horse carriage and sleep.”
Su Wenyue’s face suddenly reddened. Despite being married for so long, she couldn’t change her shy nature, or perhaps it was only in front of Han Yu that she reacted like this. Embarrassed and annoyed, she pointed at Han Yu, wanting to scold him, but under his gaze, she truly didn’t dare because Han Yu’s words were far more than just a threat.
“Fine, I won’t say anything.” Su Wenyue finally choked out those few words. Sulking was useless; in certain matters, Han Yu absolutely dominated her, leaving no room for resistance. Thus, the wise adapt to circumstances – she endured.
Seeing his wife’s frustrated and pitiable appearance, Han Yu couldn’t help but adore her. He pinched her smooth and delicate cheek, which brought about a protest from his wife, and he laughed heartily.
“Jerk!” Su Wenyue fumed as she rubbed her slightly sore cheek, pinched by Han Yu. Her skin was delicate and bruised easily; she felt the pain from that pinch, surely leaving a red mark. Sometimes this man could be so vile, even deliberately provoking her anger – despicable!
