TFWYH – Chapter 556 Taking her shopping

So tonight’s dinner was not only to celebrate Ling Yu and Su Yangyu, but also to see Xie Wenjie off.

The three of them drank late into the night before finally going their separate ways.

Tang Wan didn’t join the fun and went to bed early.

By the time Ling Yu finished washing up and got into bed, she still hadn’t woken up. Yet, as if sensing a familiar warmth, she instinctively rolled into his arms.

Raising her arms and stretching her legs, she clung to Ling Yu like an octopus, wrapping him tightly.

Ling Yu smiled helplessly and called her name a few times. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he lowered his head and gently captured her lips.

The more time he spent with this woman, the more he longed to have her.

If it weren’t for his uncertainty, he would have already taken Tang Wan then and there.

Ling Yu pulled away from her lips, but his hand slipped inside her clothes…

Stealing her fragrance had almost become something he did every night.

His self-control was steadily crumbling…

But when he thought of that person called “Doctor,” Ling Yu forced himself to withdraw his hand, holding Tang Wan as he slowly let out a deep breath.

…

Time flew by, and soon it was the day before the palace examination.

On this day, while others were still busy preparing, Ling Yue instead took Tang Wan out for a full day of strolling.

The young couple—handsome man and beautiful woman—looked like a picturesque scene walking together, drawing frequent glances from passersby.

But neither of them cared about others’ attention and simply enjoyed themselves.

Ling Yu was especially generous today—anything Tang Wan glanced at, he would buy for her.

Not only did he buy her seven or eight pieces of jewelry, but also a full set of hair ornaments and five or six brand-new outfits.

Tang Wan repeatedly said it wasn’t necessary. The clothes she had were perfectly wearable—there was no need to spend money like this!

Ling Yu chuckled. “You’re practically a little rich lady now—are you really reluctant to spend this silver?”

Tang Wan replied, “It’s not that I’m reluctant! I just think you look better than me. This money would be better spent buying clothes for you!”

“…” What kind of misunderstanding do you have about your own looks?

Ling Yu said helplessly, “My clothes already fill four wardrobes. Even if I don’t repeat outfits for a month, I still couldn’t finish wearing them all. And you still want to buy more?”

“Of course!” Tang Wan said confidently. “You’re my husband—if I don’t buy for you, who else would I buy for?”

She had even prepared heavenly silkworm snow satin for him—it just wasn’t finished yet. She planned to surprise him when it was done.

In any case, Tang Wan wanted to dress her handsome husband in every possible style.

If others had something, he should have it too. And if others didn’t, he should still have it.

As a girl, if you couldn’t even take good care of your own husband, could you still call yourself a girl?

Ling Yu raised an eyebrow and coaxed, “I have enough clothes. But you—you hardly have any. If I become an official in the future, you’ll have social occasions to attend. Without a few presentable outfits, it would reflect poorly on me too.”

Tang Wan looked suspicious. “Is that so?”

Ling Yu nodded. “Yes. So you should buy more and dress yourself beautifully. Don’t let others think I’m a harsh husband who mistreats his wife.”

“Then we’ll buy!” Tang Wan was convinced.

However, when it came to choosing clothes, she was quite casual—as long as they fit well, she didn’t ask for much else.

Fortunately, she was beautiful with a great figure—like a walking mannequin—able to pull off any ready-made outfit, earning endless praise from the shop owner.

After leaving the clothing store, as the couple passed by a jade shop, Ling Yu suddenly stopped,

and, holding Tang Wan’s hand, led her inside.
