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!”

“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.
