TFWYH – Chapter 229 Giving Him Face

Later, when Ling Yu broke his leg and was forced to marry that “fat woman,” they all heard about it and secretly pitied him—such a fine flower planted in a pile of cow dung.

Who knew that once the fat woman slimmed down, she would be this beautiful?

If they were modern people, they would definitely say—damn, this wasn’t just weight loss, this was a full makeover!

The students present looked at the pair standing together, feelings extremely complicated.

Ling Yu was an excellent student, a true prodigy. Even though he left school midway after his leg injury, not only did he not fall behind—his knowledge grew deeper. The phrase “the student surpasses the master” fit him perfectly. Even the academy head favored him greatly.

Before, they used to joke that no matter how good his talent was, it was all wasted because he had a fat, ugly wife at home.

Life, they thought, had nine disappointments for every ten events.

Ling Yu was no exception.

But unexpectedly, reality slapped them in the face so quickly.

Had they known the “fat woman” would become this beautiful after losing weight, they would’ve made a move earlier!

Of course, among Ling Yu’s many classmates, some genuinely cared for him.

Such as Su Yangyu and Xue Wenjie.

Xue Wenjie laughed heartily as he walked over, cupping his hands to greet Tang Wan. Then he winked exaggeratedly at Ling Yu. “No wonder you didn’t come with us! Sending Ling Chen home was just an excuse—having your beauty beside you is the real reason.”

“Wan-niang, why don’t you join us too?” Su Yangyu invited sincerely.

Tang Wan tilted her head, puzzled. “Pray to Buddha?”

“Yes!” Xue Wenjie said, shaking his fan. “There’s a temple fair at Fanyin Temple tonight. We’ll pray for good fortune and stroll around afterward.”

Su Yangyu nodded. “Outside Fanyin Temple is a huge osmanthus tree known as the ‘Matchmaking Tree.’ It’s late autumn, the blossoms are golden, and the fragrance spreads for miles. Since you and Brother Ling have been married for a while, why not visit it and pray for good fortune—perhaps next year you’ll give Brother Ling a pair of sons.”

A pair of sons?

Isn’t that basically wishing her to sleep with her beautiful husband sooner?

Tang Wan immediately wanted to nod, but then remembered—they were outside.

The doctor had taught her: humans are strange. For example, men like it when their wives give them plenty of face in public—being obedient and adoring gives them pride.

She didn’t understand human men’s weird behavior, but she was very willing to give her beautiful husband face.

Thinking this, Tang Wan looked up at him cautiously. “Husband, may I go?”

Ling Yu raised a brow, a bit surprised. “You want to go?”

Tang Wan nodded, then shook her head. “I’ll listen to you. If you don’t let me go, then I won’t!”

See how well-behaved I am? I’m giving you face.
Now let me go!

Ling Yu was amused by her cuteness. “If you want to go, then I’ll take you.”

“Husband, you’re the best!” Tang Wan immediately handed him a certified “good person” card.

Su Yangyu chuckled. “Brother Ling, you’re making us jealous.”

“With such a gentle, obedient wife—Brother Ling, what more could a man ask for?” Xue Wenjie said. Though inwardly he thought: You’re lucky. As for us—we’re getting fed full watching this.

Ling Yu cupped his hands politely. “You flatter me. I’ll take my wife home first, then inform my mother. After that, I’ll join you. Brothers, please go ahead.”

“Alright! Then we’ll go first!” Su Yangyu and Xue Wenjie cupped their hands and left.

The other students also exchanged polite words with Ling Yu before following them.

Though, one by one, they kept sneaking glances at Tang Wan—some shaking their heads, some looking regretful.

Ling Yu’s smile faded slightly. Without a word, he held Tang Wan’s hand. “Shall we go home first?”
