Chapter 163: Chapter 162: Feeling Puzzled
Translator: 549690339
Han Yu, who had been worried about Su Wenyue, had already arranged for a leave of absence in advance, so there was no need to rush back. Su Wenyue also didn’t want to return so soon; she wanted to do some shopping. It was not easy for a pregnant woman to go out, and if it hadn’t been for celebrating the County magistrate’s wife’s birthday, Han Yu definitely wouldn’t have agreed to let her come. Besides, after what had happened yesterday and considering that she was carrying twins, she probably wouldn’t have the chance to come to the County Town before the children were born.
From the sound of Han Yu’s words, it was clear that he intended to keep her confined at home to avoid any mishaps. She felt that even if she wanted to object, she probably couldn’t overcome Han Yu, that scheming fellow with a hidden agenda, and in the end, she would inevitably be completely devoured by him. Although she had gotten the upper hand during yesterday’s incident and made Han Yu change his mind, it was actually because Han Yu himself had not been firm in his resolve. Moreover, she truly valued the children in her stomach and was willing to make sacrifices for them; naturally, the safest course was preferable. Occasionally, she would throw a small tantrum at Han Yu as a way to vent and to train his patience, but she wouldn’t truly do anything to regret deeply and foolishly.
“Husband, let’s not head back yet. I still have many things to buy. Ever since I went to Xinluo Town, I’ve been staying in the town and never went anywhere else. Now that I’ve come to the County Town, naturally, I have to get everything I need,” Su Wenyue said while planning what she needed to buy.
Han Yu looked at his daughter-in-law’s enthusiastic expression and felt a headache coming on: “Daughter-in-law, if there’s anything you want to buy, just let the servants do the shopping. It’s not good for you to tire yourself out while pregnant.”
Learning from his past mistakes, Han Yu spoke in a consultative tone to Su Wenyue, fearing that he might accidentally trigger his daughter-in-law’s rebellious nerve and she would oppose him. Pregnant women were really something he couldn’t afford to provoke—they couldn’t be hit, couldn’t be scolded, couldn’t be bumped, and if he said anything too harsh, it would result in tears, wringing his heart with pity. Really!
“I’m feeling quite energetic this time, and I just want to walk around. I won’t get tired. And if I do, I’ll stop strolling. Besides, with you by my side, I’m not afraid of any mishaps.” Had she been alone with just Grandma Chen and Xiao Xi, Su Wenyue would not have been in the mood for shopping, but with Han Yu by her side, she had no such worries.
Whether it was because Han Yu had impressively risen from a mere farmer to the Prime Minister’s position in his previous life, or because of the sense of responsibility and ability he had shown in their days together, Su Wenyue felt that Han Yu was reliable and safe. It seemed that with him by her side, she didn’t need to worry or think about anything.
The corners of Han Yu’s eyes twitched with annoyance. What was this supposed to mean? That nothing would go wrong as long as he was around? It seemed to him that in the eyes of his daughter-in-law, he was quite exceptional; it was practically blind admiration. His daughter-in-law admired him to such an extent—should he feel happy or just plain happy?
“Anyway, I just want to go; is that okay with you?!” Su Wenyue, pulling on Han Yu’s hand, spoke with a coquettish tone. Now that An Family had gone back, she dared to be willful with Han Yu. Otherwise, if her mother found out, she’d definitely say she was lacking in thoughtfulness and lecture her with a set of pregnancy manuals.
“Of course, it’s okay; when my daughter-in-law has made a request, how could it not be okay!” Han Yu said helplessly. What other choice did he have but to agree? Otherwise, she would certainly come up with some kind of tactic for him—something he truly could not afford to face in the crowded street. He might as well take good care of Madam and pay extra attention to not let her bump into anything.
