TFWYH – Chapter 514 Standing Firm After Being Beaten

As the saying goes, if you’ve made a mistake, you should admit it—and stand firm when taking the punishment!

The problem was, she didn’t even know what she had done wrong!

Or was it some idiot who had made her husband angry?

Clinging to a bit of hope, Tang Wan carefully stepped into the room.

Her handsome husband was reclining lazily on a couch, reading a book. When he saw her enter, he glanced at her indifferently before quickly looking away again.

“Husband…” Tang Wan moved closer in a fawning manner. “Who made you angry?”

“Do you even care?” Ling Yu flipped a page without lifting his head.

“…What kind of question is that? Of course I care!”

“Heh… I don’t think you do. Otherwise, why would you run off to fool around with another woman?”

“?” Wait, when did I fool around with another woman?

Can you not be so unreasonable?

But then again… even an unreasonable husband looks so good!

Absolutely love it!

Unable to resist, Tang Wan leaned in and gave his lips a quick peck.

Ling Yu hadn’t expected the sudden sneak attack and froze for a moment.

“Husband, I like you the most.” Tang Wan didn’t dare go too far. After succeeding, she snuggled into his arms and held onto him tightly.

Was this… her acting coquettish with him?

How rare. He had never seen this silly woman act spoiled before.

The anger in Ling Yu’s heart faded by more than half, and his hand unconsciously settled at her waist.

Deep in his dark eyes flickered a hint of light, like a wolf coaxing a little rabbit. “Who do you like?”

Tang Wan held his face and looked straight into his eyes. “You!”

The corners of Ling Yu’s lips lifted slightly as he asked again, “Who likes me?”

Tang Wan replied, “I like you. I like you the most!”

The last of Ling Yu’s anger completely dissipated.

Looking at the small woman so close to him—her cheeks slightly flushed—and hearing her bold and straightforward confession, his throat felt a little dry.

His Adam’s apple moved slightly, and when he spoke again, his voice carried a husky edge: “Give me another kiss.”

Tang Wan’s eyes lit up.

No way… seriously?

Just saying “I like you” and acting a little spoiled gets this kind of reward?

Holding his head, Tang Wan leaned in and planted another kiss on his lips.

Just as she was about to pull away, Ling Yu held the back of her head and firmly captured her lips.

“Ow…” Tang Wan was caught off guard and instinctively leaned back, her brows knitting slightly.

Ling Yu’s dark eyes grew even deeper. He lightly bit her lip and said in a low, husky voice, “Open your mouth, don’t hide…”

“Husband, be gentle… mm…”

…

Grand Tutor Yi went to the palace and informed the emperor that Tang Wan had already arrived in the capital.

The emperor couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation.

Well then!

This was the first time an imperial decree had been delivered, only for the person not to be there!

The emperor asked, “Since she’s here, why hasn’t she entered the palace? The Imperial Consort misses her dearly—she talks about her every day!”

Grand Tutor Yi smiled. “That is perhaps what makes County Lady Wengnai so rare and admirable.”

The emperor sighed and nodded in agreement.

If it were any ordinary woman with the backing of an Imperial Consort, she would be eager to stay close, constantly seeking favor and attention.

But Tang Wan was different. How should he put it? She gave the emperor the feeling that she didn’t care about status or power at all.

In her eyes, people were not divided into ranks.

Even he, the emperor, was no different from an ordinary old man in her view.

She only cared about her family and friends—someone who valued loyalty and relationships deeply.

The emperor was certain that if the Imperial Consort were ever in danger, Tang Wan would rush forward without hesitation.

And not just the consort—anyone Tang Wan considered part of her circle was someone she would treasure and protect wholeheartedly.
