TFWYH – Chapter 495 She’s Trouble

This scene was no less intense than modern-day celebrity fan-chasing.

With three layers inside and three layers outside, Tang Wan simply couldn’t squeeze her way in.

Looking at Ling Yu, surrounded like the moon among stars, Jin Lin was full of envy. He even wiggled his eyebrows at Tang Wan. “Well? Having a husband like that—don’t you feel honored and proud?”

Tang Wan looked at him like he was an idiot.

Proud?

Not at all, okay?

“Didn’t you see my handsome husband’s restrained expression?”

“Didn’t you see that pained look on his face?”

“Didn’t you see those blind fools trying to push women onto him?”

“And I’m supposed to feel proud?”

Tang Wan’s four rapid-fire soul questions left Jin Lin completely stunned.

Before he could even react, he saw Tang Wan roll up her sleeves and start pushing her way inside, looking like she was about to start a fight!

Jin Lin’s eyelid twitched, and he quickly stopped her. “Hey, hey, hey—you can’t mess around like this! You’ll cause trouble for Brother Ling.”

“I’m trouble?” Tang Wan stopped and looked at him quietly.

Jin Lin’s eyelids twitched even more. With a strong survival instinct, he quickly said, “What I mean is, these are all scholars. In the future, they might serve in the same court as Brother Ling. You’re his wife—if you make a scene, it’ll only damage his reputation.”

He knew very well how good Tang Wan was at fighting. If she rushed in now and beat everyone up, would Ling Yu still be able to show his face?

But Tang Wan didn’t think that far. The word “trouble” kept echoing in her mind.

Then she looked at her husband, surrounded by the crowd. For the first time, she felt out of place beside him. He was so dazzling, as if he was born to be admired by thousands.

But she… was just ordinary.

Back when they came, Ling Yu had said that if anyone bullied her, she should fight back.

But now Jin Lin was telling her that doing so would cause him trouble.

So even when she saw others trying to push women onto him, she had to endure it and couldn’t lose her temper like usual?

Her heart felt a little heavy, as if the husband she had been “raising” all this time would soon no longer need her.

This was probably the difference between ancient women and modern independent women.

In ancient times, a woman followed her husband after marriage. If her husband achieved success, she would simply feel honored by association.

But a modern independent woman believes in strong partnerships and equal standing.

If one is strong while the other is weak, it often creates suffocation and pressure, gradually reducing communication until things fall apart.

Isn’t there a saying—people from different circles don’t blend? Let alone in love.

Someone more experienced might have figured this out.

But Tang Wan… forget it. She had plenty of theoretical knowledge, but only one real relationship—with Ling Yu. The key point was, she still didn’t even realize that what she felt was love.

Just as Tang Wan was feeling upset, a shadow fell over her.

She looked up blankly, only to see that Ling Yu—who had just been surrounded by people—had somehow made his way over and was now standing in front of her, looking at her with concern. “What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”

“Huh? No… no!” Tang Wan glanced at the large crowd behind him and felt even more irritated. “Um… you go ahead and stay busy. I’ll head back to the room first!”

With that, she went upstairs.

But what she was thinking was: these people are so annoying—stealing my husband from me.

Should I throw sacks over them and beat them up, or just kidnap my handsome husband and run away?

What she didn’t realize was that she had already changed.

Before, she would have simply thought about knocking her handsome husband unconscious, carrying him away, and taking him somewhere no one knew them—so he would belong to her alone.

But now, she had learned to consider Ling Yu’s feelings, to respect everything he wanted to pursue, and she didn’t want to become his burden.

She had already fallen deeply in love… without even realizing it.
