Chapter 1699: Chapter 1700: Pain Pain Pain
“An assassin? What assassin?” Gu Ya’s expression suddenly turned icy, making Su Yunjin shrink back a little in fear. “Husband, it’s nothing, it’s nothing. Don’t worry, I wasn’t hurt.”
Gu Ya looked his young wife up and down, and seeing that she was indeed unharmed, he finally relaxed a bit. “Yun Niang, what’s happened exactly? Assassins? Did those assassins come to our home today?”
Gu Ya had positioned dozens of people around the Gu Family’s home to protect his young wife and their two children’s safety. These people were handpicked by Gu Ya himself, all skilled martial artists. Ordinary assassins couldn’t even get close, let alone hurt his young wife.
Su Yunjin felt a pang of guilt and confessed truthfully, “Husband, those assassins appeared suddenly when I was returning from town.” Before leaving today, Gu Ya had specifically instructed her to stay at home and not to leave. Su Yunjin had agreed with Gu Ya in the morning and intended to stay in, but for fear that Shopkeeper Wu, such an important witness, might escape, she took the risk of going out with a few people, including Xue Chu.
Gu Ya suddenly grabbed Su Yunjin’s wrist.
His face, already dark, turned terrifyingly so.
His voice was even colder, like ice.
“Yun Niang, you went out today?” Su Yunjin’s wrist was being squeezed painfully by Gu Ya, and tears almost came to her eyes from the pain. “It hurts, it hurts, husband, be gentle, be gentle.” Su Yunjin dared not look at Gu Ya directly, only nervously sneaking glances at him to gauge his expression.
If it were any other time, at the first cry of pain from his young wife, Gu Ya would release her immediately. But today, he didn’t let go, intentionally punishing her. Gu Ya’s strong hand tightened further on his young wife’s wrist, making Su Yunjin cry out loudly, hearing the crackling sound of her bones. She had no doubt her hand was about to be crushed by Gu Ya. “Husband, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts…”
Su Yunjin looked pitifully at Gu Ya. His handsome face was still dark, and his voice, devoid of its usual warmth, was cold and biting. “Now you know it hurts? Didn’t you think you were quite capable?” Going to town, did she not realize how much he valued her life more than his own? What if something really happened to her in town today? What would he do, and what about their two children?
Gu Ya could hardly imagine such consequences. Su Yunjin saw that Gu Ya was about to get angry again and quickly took the cue, showing good judgment by admitting her fault in front of Gu Ya. “Wrong, I was wrong, husband, I know I was wrong. Please don’t be angry, will you?” Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya pitifully, her eyes slightly wet, tears spilled over from the pain in her wrist earlier.
Ultimately, feeling sorry for his young wife, Gu Ya didn’t squeeze any harder this time, and his large hand slowly released her wrist. His deep voice was emotionless. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel•fire.net
“You realize you were wrong?” Gu Ya stared at Su Yunjin.
Su Yunjin nodded repeatedly, “I was wrong, I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong.” To make Gu Ya believe she genuinely recognized her mistake, Su Yunjin made an effort to appear very sincere in her expression.
Gu Ya’s expression slightly softened, “And what was wrong?”
“I was wrong to have gone out without permission, wrong not to have listened to you,” Su Yunjin earnestly reflected.
Gu Ya clearly wasn’t satisfied, “Anything else?”
“Anything else? What else?” Su Yunjin was a bit bewildered. She thought she had already confessed all her faults just now.
