Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Intolerable (2/2)

Mrs. An nodded approvingly. “Lady Yue speaks wisely. With this two-pronged approach, we’re bound to find that person.”

“Well, isn’t that something, little girl? Just married for a few days and you’ve already improved so much. You can even sort these things out and give us advice. Your methods have also become much sharper.” As soon as the serious business was over, Su Hengxuan started to joke around again. However, he was really surprised at his sister’s transformation. How could a person suddenly change so much? But he felt that even though the girl in front of him had changed a lot, she was still undoubtedly his sister, so he didn’t delve into the reasons.

“That’s right. Mother is so capable, managing the backyard in perfect order. I’ve been watching Mother handle affairs since I was little, so I must have learned a thing or two from you. It’s just that next to Mother, I intentionally hid my talents, so I seemed a bit clumsy. And I never needed to worry about things since Mother was there. But after getting married, I have to take matters into my own hands, don’t I? Otherwise, I’d be easily bullied. So you’d better not underestimate me!” Su Wenyue said proudly, also indirectly explaining to her mother and brother the reasons for her change.

“Tsk, tsk, mention you’ve gained weight and you start panting.”

The siblings bantered and laughed. Shortly after, a servant girl came to tell them dinner was ready, and they all went to the front hall to eat. When Han Yu saw his wife and cousin interacting so closely, he felt a twinge of jealousy but joined them quietly, holding his wife’s hand and refusing to let go.

Su Wenyue didn’t know what Han Yu was thinking. He was always so serious in front of others, so why did he insist on holding her hand now? She couldn’t even pull away. She wondered what got into him, feeling embarrassed in front of Father and Mother, especially since Second Brother loved to tease her. She wondered how he would mock her later.

Su Hengxuan wasn’t in the mood to joke at that moment. His sister, whom he had doted on since childhood, was now taken by a wolf right before his very eyes, showing such an intimately close disposition. Wasn’t this like poking him in the heart? Han Yu was indeed irksome.

Han Yu, sensing his cousin’s displeasure, gripped his wife’s hand even tighter and gave a slight smirk, looking quite provocative.

Mrs. An watched the couple’s little gestures and thought about the words her daughter had shared with her, as well as Han Yu’s protectiveness of her daughter. She started to see Han Yu in a more favorable light and her attitude towards him improved.

“My Son-in-law, please sit down and eat. Knowing you were coming today, I specially instructed the Kitchen to prepare many fine dishes, most of which we rarely get to enjoy. Have a few good drinks with your Father-in-Law and cousin.” Mrs. An said warmly. Although the Su Family was particular about many things, they didn’t adhere to stringent rules at the dinner table when no outsiders were present. It was nice for the family to sit together and have a meal, wasn’t it?

“Yes, Mother-in-Law, I’ll do as you say.” Han Yu noticed the change in Mrs. An’s attitude towards him, raised an eyebrow at Su Wenyue, and thought surely this must be due to his wife’s influence. How else could Mother-in-Law have become so warm? Although she was polite before, there was clear dissatisfaction and a barrier between them. Now, after a short talk with his wife, her attitude shifted. Her actions must have been in his favor. Indeed, his wife cared for him, knew to defend her man. Not bad! Not bad at all! Han Yu felt very contented..
