TFWYH – Chapter 497 Beauty’s Comfort

Tang Wan thought about it for a moment, then said seriously, “I bought a house. We’ll go clean it up tomorrow, and after that we’ll move. These sacks are for packing things.”

So clever, so quick-witted!

Tang Wan silently gave herself a thumbs-up in her heart.

But this time, Ling Yu didn’t play along. He exposed her without mercy: “You’re lying.”

“…Why are you not letting this go?”

That’s enough already—don’t rely on your good looks to be unreasonable!

Ling Yu picked up a sack and smiled at her. “Don’t tell me you were planning to put sacks over those people who tried to send me women and beat them up?”

Tang Wan: !

She’d been found out!

“You really are…” Ling Yu looked at her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He tossed the sack aside and continued, “Is that really necessary?”

“…Isn’t it?” Tang Wan lowered her head, feeling a little dejected. “Husband, would doing that cause you trouble?”

“Not really. They’re just insignificant people. Offending them doesn’t matter—I don’t care.”

After all, during every imperial examination, those wealthy merchants would show up.

To Ling Yu, they were like people going to the market to pick fish—selecting only the best cut, then bringing their daughters over to claim it.

To put it bluntly, it was an investment.

They’d pick the scholars most likely to place in the top ranks, establish a future in-law relationship in advance, and provide financial support. Once the scholar succeeded, they could elevate their own status through their son-in-law.

Not to mention that Ling Yu had a wife who could earn money—he wasn’t lacking funds at all.

Even if he were, he wouldn’t trade his life for such a deal, marrying an unrelated woman just to obstruct his own peace.

Tang Wan hadn’t thought that far. Hearing Ling Yu say this, she still felt a little uncertain. “Really?”

“Really.” Ling Yu took her hand, a faint smile on his lips. “No matter who told you those things, just ignore them. All you need to remember is this—everything I strive for is to give you, Mother, and my younger siblings the best life. I want to be your strongest support, so you can do whatever you want without fear or worry.”

As he spoke, Ling Yu leaned closer and kissed the corner of her lips. “I still prefer the way you used to be. This hesitant version of you… is a bit unpleasant to look at.”

Tang Wan’s lips curved upward unconsciously. She pointed at her mouth. “More!”

Ling Yu raised an eyebrow. “More what?”

“Kiss!”

“What do you mean, ‘kiss’?”

“Husband!”

…

Tang Wan was so annoyed!

It was always like this—he teased her but never followed through.

What, was he saving himself for someone or something?

No—she immediately threw that thought out of her mind.

Her handsome husband had said it himself: it wasn’t that he didn’t like her, but that she didn’t understand love yet, so he hadn’t consummated the marriage.

So the question was—what is love?

There were plenty of explanations online, but those were just theories!

Maybe…

She should ask someone for advice?

She had been in the capital for so long but hadn’t gone to see Yuan Yuan yet. She wondered how she was doing.

And there were Ling Sheng and Dashan—they had left with the Black Scale Cavalry.

Now that there was no war at the border, the Black Scale Cavalry should all be in the capital—so they should be here too, right?

She also wondered if she could enter the military camp. She wanted to see how they were doing.

And her medical clinic—she needed to open it too!

When she didn’t think about it, it was fine—but once she did, there were so many things to handle.

Forget it!

Her husband’s provincial exam was approaching—everything else could wait until after he finished.

Tang Wan made the decision on her own. After all, nothing was more important than her handsome husband’s matters!

…

Time flew by in the blink of an eye…
