Chapter 46 - Chapter 46: Chapter 46: Giving Her Some Leeway (2/2)

Su Wenyue, upon hearing the news of Mrs. Wang’s pregnancy, was somewhat surprised, but not too shocked. She just hadn’t remembered this event at the moment; now that she thought about it, in her previous life, Mrs. Wang’s pregnancy was around this time too. Back then, Mrs. Wang was the mother-in-law’s favorite in the Han family, so much so that even she was warned by Han Yu not to provoke Mrs. Wang since, in her previous life, she was quite a troublemaker.

For Mrs. Wang, this news was like grasping a lifesaving straw, and she was extremely overjoyed. For Su Wenyue, it was definitely not good news. After so much effort trying to deal a harsh blow to Mrs. Wang—even if she couldn’t drive Mrs. Wang out of the Han family, she wanted to make sure Mrs. Wang couldn’t turn the tables for a long time—all of it was disrupted by the pregnancy news.

Su Wenyue felt somewhat discouraged. It wasn’t that she was that cruel-if it had been Mrs. Liu or Mrs. Li who was pregnant, she would have been happy. But Mrs. Wang, with memories from her past life, had a deep understanding of this woman’s cruelty. Moreover, since she entered the Han family, this woman had always targeted her, plotting and scheming against her at every turn. Although their relationship couldn’t be described as a matter of life and death, it was certainly one where if one prospered, the other suffered.

Han Yu was also somewhat disappointed when he learned that Mrs. Wang was pregnant. He had been thinking of putting more effort into driving this woman out of the Han family. But then this news came, and as for how Han Lin felt about it, Han Yu, naturally indifferent and particularly unsympathetic towards this brother, didn’t concern himself at all with whether Han Lin would have a good time.

Seeing his wife’s disappointed expression, Han Yu comforted her by gently stroking her head. In a voice low enough for only the two of them to hear, he softly said, “Don’t be disappointed. We can’t mess with Mrs. Wang for the time being. After all, she’s carrying an heir of our Han family. You should also be patient with her on a daily basis and avoid conflicts. But rest assured, Husband is here, and I won’t let her bully you. Once she gives birth, Husband will avenge you sooner or later.”

Su Wenyue detected several implications in Han Yu’s words. While he meant to comfort her, it was clear that Han Yu also valued the Han family’s heir, urging her not to conflict with Mrs. Wang for the time being. Maybe on a deeper level, he was telling her not to harm the child in Mrs. Wang’s womb?!

After all, her actions were often transparent in front of Han Yu—meant to show a commitment to being open and honest with each other, but also because Han Yu was too astute, and she didn’t want to put in the extra effort to hide her intentions, which could reveal flaws not conducive to their emotional connection and growth. Perhaps for that reason, Su Wenyue believed that she must appear ‘ruthless’ in Han Yu’s eyes.

Su Wenyue’s thoughts about Han Yu were still somewhat influenced by inertia, shaped by her impression of him from her previous life, even though she wasn’t aware of it herself.

“I understand. I won’t provoke her. It’s always been her coming after me and then I just fight back. Don’t worry, I, Su Wenyue, may not be that kind-hearted, but I would never harm a child, no matter the reason. A child is the best gift a mother can receive from heaven; I would never hurt a child. That’s where I draw the line in life!” Su Wenyue’s voice carried a certain inscrutable depth and sorrow, making Han Yu tense.

Han Yu hadn’t expected Su Wenyue to misunderstand his intentions, seeming to always interpret his words pessimistically. Sometimes when he meant something plainly, Su Wenyue would infer some underlying hint or connotation. This time she even made promises, even though he was simply trying to comfort her. It seemed he really needed to find time for a thorough heart-to-heart with his wife. He always felt that deep down, his wife harbored a bias she might not even be aware of—a situation that was by no means favorable if it continued..
