Chapter 139: A Bit Serious

“Husband, why don’t you speak? Why are you looking at me like that? You’re making me feel uneasy,” Su Wenyue said with a forced smile, her voice getting smaller as she spoke.

“Don’t you have anything you want to tell me?” Han Yu was a magnanimous man, usually doting on his daughter-in-law, but some unacceptable habits and behaviors simply couldn’t be indulged—lying and deceiving were definitely among them.

“Husband, what do you want me to say?” Su Wenyue asked weakly. Han Yu’s expression and tone clearly gave her an opportunity to come clean; to be lenient if she confessed and strict if she resisted. Still, she clung to a slim hope—only she and Xiao Xi knew she had concealed her pregnancy, and Xiao Xi would never betray her. Han Yu was too cunning, often adopting such tactics to trick her. Su Wenyue felt she must stay calm and not be influenced by him.

Hearing his daughter-in-law completely lacking the intention to confess and even playing little tricks with him, Han Yu felt a surge of irritation. If it weren’t for the fact that Su Wenyue was currently pregnant and couldn’t be disturbed, he would’ve pressed her down on the bed and disciplined her, so she wouldn’t be able to leave the bed for days. Indeed, a woman shouldn’t be spoiled too much. Sometimes, they need to be disciplined.

“It seems, daughter-in-law, that you’re not interested in having a proper talk with me anymore and have started to play mind games. Do you think with that bit of intelligence you can deceive me, hm?”

Han Yu thought back to the early signs of his daughter-in-law’s pregnancy. His last visit to his father-in-law’s home included a consultation with Doctor Lin, who must have diagnosed her then. At that time, he was discussing matters with his father-in-law and brother-in-law in the study, leaving only his wife and mother-in-law present. It must have been his wife who persuaded the mother-in-law to help keep the secret. There could be no other reason, as she certainly wouldn’t have agreed to it otherwise.

At this moment, Han Yu had pulled Su Wenyue up to sit on his lap, and the vertical position added an oppressive feeling. Su Wenyue’s heart couldn’t take it; was this an interrogation or what?

“When did you find out about the pregnancy? You and that little girl Xiao Xi acting all secretive, you must have had a hard time hiding it from me! If you don’t come clean now, I don’t think you’ll need to accompany me this time. Better to stay home quietly and take care of the child, or else I won’t have peace of mind taking you with me,” Han Yu said seriously, pulling out his trump card, knowing his daughter-in-law intended to keep her lips sealed.

When Su Wenyue heard Han Yu say that, she knew she had blown her cover. Hearing that he wouldn’t take her to town caused her nearly to jump up in urgency; but with her in his embrace, she couldn’t move.

“No, you can’t leave me behind, or else I won’t bear you a son!” Su Wenyue declared this as a threat to Han Yu; her long-awaited child was something she’d protect at all costs.

Seeing Han Yu’s expression grow uglier upon hearing this, Su Wenyue knew she had misspoken. Now, she was really in trouble. Wanting to say something to make amends, she heard Han Yu speak, “It seems I truly don’t carry much weight in your heart, nor does the child, or else you wouldn’t say such things so easily!”
