Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Unable to Instruct

Su Wenyue had wanted to retort, but seeing the dangerous squint of Han Yu’s eyes, she wisely changed her tune. “Alright, let’s not bring it up. I was just worried about you. After all, that man is so cunning. If he really targets you in secret, it’s always good to be prepared in advance and avoid falling victim to his schemes.”

“Okay, I know how you feel; I’ll be cautious. You have to believe in your man.” Han Yu rubbed his daughter-in-law’s head gently. He himself was no gentleman, as he had no qualms about using whatever means necessary to achieve his ends, although he did have some principles. He had simply never let his daughter-in-law know about these things, preferring not to scare the innocent girl.

After Han Yu had assured her, Su Wenyue felt much more at ease, as long as Han Yu was wary, she believed that there should be no problem. Although Sikong Yu was powerful and utterly shameless, his tactics were still inferior to Han Yu’s.

“So you’ve been bottling up about this matter for the past few days, turning yourself into a ghostly figure?!” Han Yu hadn’t forgotten his ultimate goal. Thinking that his wife had been so distressed by some not so realistic events in dreams, involving other men no less, that she could neither eat nor sleep well, wasting away to this extent, and nearly harming the child in her stomach, he felt the urge to grab someone and give them a thrashing.

Su Wenyue knew in her heart that it wasn’t only because of this matter, but it played a significant role. What she feared most was Sikong Ling affecting her current life. Thus, when Han Yu asked her, she nodded somewhat guiltily, knowing that she had done wrong. But once a person enters a certain state of mind, it becomes easy to become obsessively fixated and unable to break free. Consider that this had been a demon in her heart all this time, even though speaking it out loud didn’t completely unravel the knot in her heart, it did make her feel much lighter and less burdened.

Seeing Su Wenyue nod, Han Yu’s finger flicked her forehead a bit too roughly, causing her to yelp in pain, though she dared not complain. She understood Han Yu’s temper well; if it weren’t for her pregnancy, this time Han Yu probably wouldn’t have let her off so easily.

Han Yu saw Su Wenyue pouting and covering the red mark on her forehead, then pulled her into his arms to gently massage it for her, feeling awfully complex inside. He didn’t know what kind of karma he had created in his previous life that in this life, he would fall into the hands of this heartless woman. He doted on and cherished her so much, yet this little thing failed to feel his affection, making herself suffer to the point where it broke his heart and made him feel so helpless.

“From now on, you can tell me anything, there’s nothing we can’t solve. If I find out that you’re brooding over something by yourself again…”

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you would get angry, after all, I do have my faults, and I was also worried that person would be harmful to you, that’s why I let my imagination run wild.” Su Wenyue lay in Han Yu’s arms and heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that this matter was finally resolved.

With Han Yu’s consoling words, Su Wenyue slept better at night and seemed more spirited during the day, although the morning sickness hadn’t abated completely, it was less severe than before. Grandma Chen and Aunt Li tried all sorts of remedies to find different foods that Su Wenyue could stomach, and she was finally able to eat something.

Doctor Lin checked Su Wenyue’s pulse and said that as long as her psychological issue was resolved, morning sickness wasn’t a big problem; it would pass in time. Many pregnant women have gone through it. Han Yu was still not reassured and tried to return home daily.

While Han Yu was on guard and investigating Sikong Ling, Sikong Ling’s desk was also piled with information on Han Yu and Su Wenyue. Sikong Ling had reviewed it many times, including the file on Han Yu – the man who had locked eyes with him that day. Although the records showed a farmer who had risen to the status of a petty official thanks to his mother’s family, Sikong Ling was convinced based on their exchange of glances on the street that Han Yu was no ordinary man and was destined to rise to greatness someday, for troubled times breed heroes.
