Chapter 286 - Chapter 286: Chapter 294: Full of Trust (2/2)
“Ah! Fried chestnuts! Did you bring them for me? Husband, you’re so kind!” By this time, there was nothing left to misunderstand. Su Wenyue’s eyes lit up as she reached out to take them. Because they had been kept warm inside Han Yu’s chest in the cold weather, the chestnuts were still warm and perfect to eat. Enjoying fried chestnuts on such a chilly day had its own pleasure, especially when it came with the thoughtfulness of Han Yu—the taste was exceptionally sweet. She ate one herself and peeled another to place in Han Yu’s mouth.
“Husband, you have some. They’re delicious.” Su Wenyue’s mouth was full, making her look like a greedy little squirrel as she didn’t forget to share with Han Yu, clearly intending to enjoy it together.
Seeing his daughter-in-law’s joyous demeanor, Han Yu hadn’t expected such a simple gesture to make her so happy and touched. He thought to himself that if his daughter-in-law liked it, he would remember to bring her things from time to time in the future. Watching her happy appearance made him happy as well.
Su Wenyue didn’t probe further about the house purchase: “How was the house? Is it suitable? If it’s suitable, we should finalize the procedures soon so we can move in sooner. I haven’t even finished preparing the New Year’s gift; there are some things I’m planning to buy from the prefecture. I’m afraid we might not have enough time if it’s too rushed.”
Thinking about Han Yu returning at this time, Su Wenyue suspected it might not have gone smoothly: “If you didn’t find anything you liked, we could move into the house from my mother’s family for the time being and take our time to choose later. I’ll go with you.”
“No need, the house is quite suitable. I’ve already bought it, and even the procedures at the Yamen have been completed. Since it was previously inhabited, it doesn’t require much effort to refurbish. We just need to clean and tidy the house, replace what needs to be replaced, and we can move in.” Han Yu said with a smile.
“What?! Husband, are you saying you’ve already purchased it, and the registration procedures are all done?” Su Wenyue didn’t expect Han Yu to act so quickly, having bought the house directly on a single trip to the prefecture. For a moment, she was stunned and incredulous.
“I had intended to discuss it with you, but the distance was too far and going back and forth would take a lot of time. The location and price of the house were both very good, and it met most of the requirements you mentioned. I thought I shouldn’t miss out on it, so I made the decision on the spot.” Han Yu explained to Su Wenyue.
She nodded vigorously: “It’s good you made the decision. If you think it’s good, it must be. Isn’t there a saying that once you miss out on the chance, there won’t be another? Of course, we had to decide quickly.”
“You have that much faith in me?” Han Yu was quite pleased with his daughter-in-law’s full-hearted trust.
“Of course, I have faith in you. You’re my husband. If I don’t trust you, who else can I trust? Husband, does this mean we now have our own house, our own home?”
