Chapter 248: My Heart Aches
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“You’re finally back. I was wondering if you weren’t coming home for dinner.” “Wenwen, you’re home. Of course, I have to join you for dinner.” Zhou Henyang clasped Su Wen’s hand, squeezing it as if he were reluctant to let go. “How can I be at ease leaving you to have dinner with just your sisters?”
“It hurts… Be gentle,” Su Wen hissed through gritted teeth, a frown replacing her joy.
Was it just her, or was the male protagonist getting weirder and weirder? Even if they were only pretending to be a good couple, there was no need to put so much effort into the act!
“Am I hurting you?” Zhou Hengyang teased.
“Yes. Stop squeezing my hand so much.”
Zhou Hengyang held Su Wen’s hand and pressed it against his chest, where his heart was. With her hand against his chest, Su Wen could feel Zhou Hengyang’s strong heartbeat, his warm breath tickling her nose with each exhale.
Su Wen froze.
The novel had described the male protagonist as a flirt, but not to this extent! She was just a regular woman with a healthy body and mind; how was she supposed to handle this new coy side to him?
Su Wen cried foul. Zhou Hengyang was cheating!
“Can you feel how my heart aches?” A certain someone murmured in her ear. It was intoxicating – a potent cocktail promising pain and pleasure wrapped up in a threat.
Su Wen felt herself go limp, her legs turning into jelly; she could barely stand! Unconsciously, she leaned into Zhou Hengyang, shifting most of her weight onto him. “Zhou Hengyang, don’t go too far, or I’ll have to teach you a lesson! Let go of me before I get angry!”
He was too much!
Zhou Hengyang may be the male protagonist of the novel she had once read and enjoyed, but that did not mean she would let him take advantage of her, even if it severely hampered her ability to latch onto his golden thigh. It was high time she showed him who was the boss! As the head of the household, she had to make her position clear.
“Of course, I’ll listen to you, Wenwen. You’re in charge; I’ll do whatever you ask.” Zhou Hengyang lit up with a smile, his words frank and straightforward but still polite and respectful. Zhou Hengyang was the perfect live-in son-in-law, deferring to Su Wen as the head of the household.
“Does your hand hurt? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to squeeze so hard.”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” What else could she say? Zhou Hengyang lowered himself by apologizing to her. It would be too embarrassing if she were to pursue the issue with a guest watching.
She also wanted to save face where she could.
“Go and rest. Leave our guest to me.” Zhou Hengyang released Su Wen and walked past her to greet He Changming as if nothing had happened between them.
From the moment Zhou Hengyang appeared, He Changming had been secretly sizing him up. He had long heard of this live-in son-in-law of the Su family. It was said that he had a mysterious background and could not be provoked. He was even more formidable than Su Xuewen when he was still alive.
Now that he had met Zhou Hengyang, his instincts screamed, warning him of fatal danger. This was not a man to be trifled with.
It seemed the son-in-law of the Su family was the one with real power in the household. It would be wise not to anger him.
Although Zhou Hengyang had been talking to Su Wen, he and Zhou Hengyang had exchanged several glances. He Changming had no choice but to admit he had lost most severely in those fleeting moments.
Zhou Hengyang was a man tempered by fire and blood; not even his smiles could hide the sharp edge of his gaze or the tightly coiled muscles ready to burst forth at a moment’s sign of danger.
“Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Hengyang, and I’m Su Wen’s husband, the live-in son-in-law of the Su family.”
“He Changming. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Su Wen often buys furs from me. It’s an honor to be invited over for dinner to discuss the finer details of our partnership.” He Changming did not dare to be careless. He even had this uncanny feeling like Zhou Hengyang could read his thoughts.
Therefore, he spoke concisely, explaining his relationship with Su Wen and his presence at Su Wen’s place that day.
He Changming was an extremely smart person. When Su Xiu appeared and invited him to visit, he knew what Su Wen wanted..
