The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1031: Chapter 1030: My Wife’s Words Are Truth

”Dad, you’re being too polite saying that. We’re all family, after all, and your business is naturally my business. Let’s leave the past behind and live well in the present,” Su Changfeng said to Shen Zhenhua with a smile.

Upon hearing Su Changfeng’s words, Shen Zhenhua felt warmed inside and quickly nodded. He couldn’t help but marvel at Su Changfeng’s broad-mindedness, feeling that his daughter had truly married a good man.

He even thought to himself, if Sun Mei hadn’t been so focused on personal gain and hadn’t acted so maliciously, his current life would surely be more comfortable. But where she got it wrong was in targeting Sunian. If she’d known Su Changfeng would end up like he is today, would she have made the same choices? He figured she must regret it now.

”Chang Feng, Han Xue has probably been waiting for you in the bedroom for quite a while. You should go and check on her. I have a feeling she’s holding a lot in her heart today. You two should have a good talk,” Shen Zhenhua suddenly said.

Su Changfeng frowned slightly upon hearing that Han Xue was troubled.

Deep down, Su Changfeng knew very well what a place Tianqi was, yet Han Xue never asked him about it. She always controlled her curiosity, even to the point of avoiding it altogether.

To Han Xue, perhaps she didn’t want Su Changfeng to leave her in her heart.

But to Su Changfeng, going to Tianqi was no longer a matter of choice for him.

After finishing his conversation with Shen Zhenhua, Su Changfeng headed upstairs.

In the bedroom, Han Xue lay on her side, watching Ye Zi, with a look full of worries between her brows. Her side posture accentuated her S-shaped figure, and even now, as a mother, her physique was still striking. What used to once make her the beauty of Jiang City still didn’t pale in comparison to young, pretty women today.

Su Changfeng gently pushed open the bedroom door, afraid of disturbing Han Xue. Yet, despite his light movements, Han Xue noticed, turned to glance at him, and then sat up from the bed.

Su Changfeng sat beside Han Xue with a smile, asking tenderly, ”Han Xue, what’s wrong? You seem upset?”

Han Xue didn’t answer his question but instead avoided his gaze, lowered her head, and curled up into a ball, looking quite helpless.

”Chang Feng, tell me honestly, are you leaving soon? When exactly?” Han Xue asked weakly.

Su Changfeng knew well that no matter how much he and Han Xue avoided it, one not speaking and the other not asking, they would eventually have to face it. So he responded candidly, ”The exact time, even I don’t know.”

”Is what you’ll be doing very dangerous?” Han Xue pressed on.

Su Changfeng was momentarily at a loss on how to answer, given his scant knowledge about Tianqi and uncertainty about future challenges.

”Han Xue, no matter what happens, I promise, I’ll make sure to stay alive and come back to you and Ye Zi,” Su Changfeng said softly, stroking her hair.

Han Xue, upon hearing this, couldn’t hold back anymore and suddenly hugged Su Changfeng, saying tearfully, ”If anything happens to you, Ye Zi and I won’t go on without you.”

Su Changfeng was taken aback; the weight of her words was immense. Even if survival seems impossible in the future, Su Changfeng must fight with all his might because three lives depend on him!

”Han Xue, you don’t need to worry. I’ll be back safely to you. Have you forgotten who my mentor is? I’ve heard Elder Wu holds a very high position in Tianqi,” Su Changfeng said, patting her hair.

Han Xue continued holding him, saying, ”Today’s elderly gentleman wasn’t just sent by Elder Wu, was he?”

Su Changfeng suddenly froze. He hadn’t doubted the elder’s identity. Back in the West, Ma Yu was sent by Elder Wu to protect him—it was not unusual. However, after battling beside Yang Junming on the lake today, observing the elder’s strength and Yang Junming’s respectful demeanor towards him, Su Changfeng suspected the elder held a significant role within Tianqi. But if his status was so high, why would he come to protect him?

This led Su Changfeng to question the elder’s identity, yet Han Xue unexpectedly noticed it too.

”What’s your take on this?” Su Changfeng asked Han Xue.

”I think he wasn’t just someone sent by Elder Wu. From his actions, I suspect that gentleman might actually be Elder Wu himself,” Han Xue revealed her conjecture.

”Why do you think that?” Su Changfeng inquired curiously.

”If you ask me to present evidence, I really can’t, but it’s my woman’s intuition—do you believe me when I say that?” Han Xue lifted her gaze, looking intently at Su Changfeng.

”Of course, I believe you,” Su Changfeng replied without hesitation.

Despite tears at the corner of her eyes, Han Xue smiled at his words and said, ”Now tell me, do you believe me because I’m your woman, or because what I say seems reasonable?”

”Haha, definitely because you’re my dearest wife. I believe everything you say,” Su Changfeng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Han Xue, who had been feeling very down, suddenly felt much happier, her big eyes blinking at Su Changfeng, ”Yes, that’s very well said. After being so good, should I not reward you a bit?”

”Oh! My adorable and charming wife, how do you plan to reward me?” Su Changfeng teased with a grin.

”You’ll find out tonight.” Han Xue smiled at Su Changfeng.

Curious as he was, Su Changfeng realized it was still afternoon and not yet dinner time. Waiting till evening was quite testing, so he eagerly awaited the fall of night.

After dinner tonight, Han Xue did not linger in the living room but went straight to the bedroom, seemingly planning something significant.

Witnessing this, Su Changfeng felt oddly nervous, his mind repeatedly wondering what surprise Han Xue had prepared for him.
