Chapter 139 - Chapter 139: A Bit Serious (2/2)

“Husband, it was just a slip of the tongue, I didn’t mean it. I hid it before because I was afraid you’d worry and be unwilling to separate from the family. I was planning to tell you after your return from hunting, who knew this would happen before I had the chance. Husband, please don’t be angry, okay? From now on I won’t hide anything from you; I’ll tell you everything!” Su Wenyue said sincerely, trying to move Han Yu, but unfortunately, he wasn’t easily persuaded.

Han Yu originally only wanted to teach his daughter-in-law a lesson, so she wouldn’t keep secrets from him in the future. But after hearing her say those words, he was truly a bit angry, and also disheartened.

He was a cold-natured man. Before taking a daughter-in-law, he was quite indifferent to his own father and mother, focusing solely on making a mark in the world, to stand out among others. Since having a daughter-in-law, his heart was gradually warmed by her. Knowing his wife had endured hardships with him, he doubled his efforts, wanting only to provide her a better life, treating her with the utmost sincerity and attitude. He truly treasured her as the jewel of his heart, but she couldn’t fully trust him; it was somewhat distressing for Han Yu to think about.

“Can I believe what you’re saying now? Every time you’ve done wrong, isn’t this what you always say? Although your attitude of admitting fault is good, you still do the same thing the next time. Don’t you trust me, your husband? Is your heart truly invested in this home?” Han Yu now sounded quite severe.

Listening to this, Su Wenyue knew Han Yu had misunderstood something. If she didn’t clarify it now, she worried it would leave a knot in his heart, affecting the affection between them.

“Husband, no matter the past, ever since I married you, I set my heart on living wholeheartedly with you. It truly hurts and feels unjust to hear you speak of me like this. I was wrong to hide this from you, but it’s not that I don’t trust you. I just can’t adapt to such a life where, although one family, we still scheme and fight over trivial benefits. You hadn’t shared your intentions with me before. I didn’t know you wanted to take me with you. I was afraid that if you knew I was pregnant, you’d change your mind about separating from the family. That’s why I wanted to keep it hidden—had this incident not happened, I was going to share the good news of the pregnancy with you.”

Han Yu felt somewhat relieved hearing Su Wenyue explain like this.

“So it seems I am also at fault.”

“Of course, if you can keep things from me, why can’t I? And you’ve wronged me so, harboring my child in my womb, how could I not earnestly live with you, where else would I place my heart if not in our home!” Su Wenyue felt justified in her position.

“I admit my mistake. I apologize. This time, we both have our faults; let’s call it even. From now on, neither of us is allowed to hide anything from the other. Do you agree?” Han Yu stroked his daughter-in-law’s hair, realizing that in the future, he should share more with her to avoid such misunderstandings.

“I agree, is that not enough for you to say such things to me! To say such things to me!” Su Wenyue got bullish now that she saw Han Yu wasn’t angry anymore; besides, she was carrying his child and deserved to be pampered.

Su Wenyue brought up Han Yu’s hunting trip into the mountains. Fearing that his daughter-in-law would be frightened and knowing that what’s done is done, there was no need for her to worry again, especially since she was pregnant and shouldn’t be emotionally distressed. Thus, he didn’t tell her about the sale of the slain tiger. Su Wenyue only knew that Han Yu had a good hunting trip and accepted the silver jewelry set he had brought her. Although not overly delicate, it was novel, elegant, and becoming, especially suited for her current condition.

Seeing his daughter-in-law so pleased with his selection made Han Yu very happy, and he personally helped her try it on.
