Chapter 226 - 223: Wife (Part 3)

Su Yaoguang thought Chen Buyu was quite pleasing to the eye for the first time.

She knew he was loyal, good to Zhou Wangshu and the brothers, and respectful to her, even to the courtesans in the dance house. However, he wasn’t as smart as Zhong Chushan and sometimes even created messes for them to clean up.

Today, she realized she had underestimated his charisma.

The Tong Family really hit the jackpot finding such a son-in-law.

"Sister Tong, those who made the list will definitely have many engagements over the next couple of days. Luckily, with you by my side, I won’t be bored."

Tong Shuyun gestured a lot, but Su Yaoguang couldn’t understand. However, the maid beside her, clearly acting as Tong Shuyun’s translator, quickly conveyed her meaning to Su Yaoguang.

"Our miss means that she is the host and should treat you well. If you don’t mind, she can take you around to sightsee."

"That would be wonderful." Su Yaoguang said, "Then I’ll thank Sister Tong in advance."

Zhou Wangshu had gone out early in the morning to buy Su Yaoguang’s favorite pastries.

He watched as Su Yaoguang and Tong Shuyun chatted happily, with his eyes full of displeasure.

She treated everyone better than she treated him.

Look at how warm she is to the newly-met Tong Shuyun. If only she shared some of this warmth with him, he wouldn’t be so angry.

Which wife would bring up separation on her husband’s happy day? If she cared a little more for him, she wouldn’t do such a ’heartless’ thing.

Su Yaoguang pulled Zhou Wangshu into a corner, reminding her to keep an eye on Xiao Ci’s whereabouts. This Xiao Ci disappeared mysteriously and seemed like a problematic figure.

After breakfast, government officers began delivering invitations.

The men went to attend the invitations, while Su Yaoguang as mentioned earlier went out to have fun with Tong Shuyun.

"Stop..." Su Yaoguang called to the carriage, asking the coachman to stop.

The coachman stopped the carriage.

Su Yaoguang jumped out of the carriage, chasing after the figure she had just seen. But entering an alley, the figure disappeared, as if it never appeared.

"What happened?" The maid asked on behalf of Tong Shuyun.

Su Yaoguang said, "I just thought I saw someone familiar, but maybe I was mistaken!"

She saw Wen Family. That Wen Family followed Xiao Yanci; if she was here, Xiao Yanci was likely here as well. However, after a quick glance, they disappeared.

At night, just as Su Yaoguang finished her bath, she heard a commotion at the door. Turning around, she saw Zhou Wangshu staggering through the door.

Seeing him in this state, Su Yaoguang swallowed back her reprimand, holding onto him.

Su Yaoguang had just bathed and was wearing thin clothes. She had assumed Zhou Wangshu wouldn’t return so soon, planning to towel dry her hair first and then change into more proper attire.

But now, he came back before she could change.

Though he was back, his soul wasn’t; given his state of intoxication, even if he were tossed onto the street, he’d likely be unaware of what was happening.

Zhou Wangshu clung to Su Yaoguang’s waist.

Su Yaoguang said, "Didn’t I tell you not to drink too much? Where are the hangover prevention pills I prepared for you earlier?"

Zhou Wangshu clung to Su Yaoguang, remaining in her embrace unwilling to get up.

Su Yaoguang was still toweling her hair, and seeing his state, pushed him away: "You dirty brat, my hair is still dripping."

"I’ll dry it for you." He listened to this rather clearly.

Seeing him so stubborn and unyielding, Su Yaoguang let him take the towel.

Zhou Wangshu positioned her by the window for air circulation, using the towel to dry her hair, and sniffed, saying, "You smell so good!"

"Who am I?" Su Yaoguang asked.

"You think I’m drunk? I’m not drunk." Zhou Wangshu said dissatisfied, "You are... heartless."

Su Yaoguang: "..."

Zhou Wangshu saw her quiet, tossed the towel aside, and wrapped his arms around her neck, nuzzling into her embrace.

"Xiao Ci hasn’t appeared." Zhou Wangshu said, "I inquired around, no one has seen him. I feel this man is increasingly out of control."

Originally, he wanted to deal with him here, but the person had preemptively taken precautions, never revealing himself, not giving him the chance to act.

Su Yaoguang said, "You don’t need to worry about him. If he’s dishonest, he’ll soon dig his own grave. Don’t let someone like that affect your matters."

"Hmm..." Zhou Wangshu nestled on her shoulder. "I’ll listen to my wife."
