TFWYH – Chapter 356 The Scent of Cosmetics

Time passed minute by minute, and Ling Yu still hadn’t come back.

Tang Wan told Madam Jiang and the others to go rest; she said she would wait by herself.

She waited until midnight before Ling Yu finally returned home, looking exhausted.

“Husband, you’re back!” Tang Wan hurriedly brought out the food she had been keeping warm for him in the kitchen. “Are you hungry? Mother kept it warm for you the whole time!”

“I won’t eat,” Ling Yu said, rubbing his brow. “I already ate outside. I want to rest.”

“Oh.” Tang Wan paused, her brows knitting slightly, but soon relaxing again. “Then I’ll go heat some water for you!”

“No need. I’ll just fetch some water and wipe up. Go to sleep — I’ll be there soon.” Ling Yu stopped her, then went into the kitchen himself.

Tang Wan looked at his back suspiciously. Why did this feel so familiar?

Back in modern times, in all those romance dramas and idol shows, wasn’t this exactly how cheating usually started?

More importantly, she smelled cosmetic powder on him.

As the hidden owner of a brothel, Tang Wan was very familiar with that scent.

Thinking of this, she turned and went back to the bedroom, her expression gradually turning cold.

When Ling Yu finished cleaning up and came to bed, Tang Wan didn’t say a word and kicked at him.

Startled, Ling Yu instinctively grabbed her ankle, looking shocked. “What are you doing?”

“Hmph! Sneaking off to a brothel behind my back — you’re asking for a beating!” Tang Wan kicked again with her other foot.

Helpless, Ling Yu had to let go and dodge.

Tang Wan flipped up in one swift motion, jumped off the bed, and started throwing punches at him.

Ling Yu dodged left and right, hurriedly saying, “It’s not what you think…”

“Don’t try to fool me! I offer myself to you and you won’t sleep with me, but you go sleep with someone else — don’t blame me if I break your legs and lock you up!” Tang Wan refused to listen, growing angrier and more aggressive with each strike.

Ling Yu: …

What the hell!

How is this woman so strong?

Those little pink fists looked soft, but they really hurt when they landed.

Ling Yu was truly glad he had inner force and knew lightness skills — otherwise he’d already be pinned to the ground and beaten badly by Tang Wan.

He flipped away again to dodge her punch, then turned and tapped her acupoint.

Tang Wan froze, unable to move, her face darkening even more. “You dare seal my acupoint?”

Ling Yu felt utterly worn out and said weakly, “My dear, I really didn’t! You wouldn’t listen to my explanation, so I had to seal your acupoint to talk properly.”

Tang Wan didn’t buy it, but she couldn’t move, so there was nothing she could do.

Damn these ancient inner-force techniques — so annoying.

She silently reminded herself to be more careful in the future — dislocate the opponent’s arms first to prevent getting her acupoints sealed.

Seeing her fuming and trying to break free, Ling Yu quickly stepped forward and kissed the corner of her lips.

Tang Wan froze, and the killing intent around her gradually faded.

Only then did Ling Yu breathe a sigh of relief. He tapped her forehead lightly and said irritably, “What are you thinking about all day? Do you doubt your own beauty, or do you think your husband is blind enough to fall for other women?”

“…My handsome husband is praising my beauty — great, now I can’t even stay mad.”

Tang Wan glared at him for a moment, and when she spoke again her tone had softened. “Then explain properly — where exactly did you go?”

Ling Yu released her acupoint and said, “I went to see Ye Yi and the others, then brought them all to Qingyuan Yashe and left them in Yuan Yuan’s care. The powder scent rubbed off on me there. If you don’t believe me, go ask Aunt Hong and Yuan Yuan tomorrow.”
