Honey, you didn't really drugged me, did you?-Chapter 179 - 113 Husband, are you hiding something from me?_2
At that moment, she even understood the use of the sour orange.
But her husband, fearing she would be sad, was willing to act and deceive himself, doesn’t that also mean that she held a place in his heart?
If he truly didn’t care about her at all, he wouldn’t have bothered to disguise it.
In this era, "female virtue" was the standard governing all women’s behavior, and society also told them that if a man was capable and held status, it was impossible for him to have only one woman.
Of course, she couldn’t care less about these things right now.
What concerned her more was whether her husband had encountered an attack.
Where her husband went, what kind of engagements he attended, she could ignore, but if her own husband was injured, she couldn’t bear it.
"Husband."
"Um?"
Chen Jie was closing his eyes, comfortably enjoying his wife’s massage.
"Do you have something to tell me?"
Chen Jie’s eyes suddenly opened wide, was he exposed?
"Um, what is it?"
Chen Jie asked tentatively.
He wasn’t afraid of his wife, but he was afraid of hurting her heart.
His silly wife, whenever something happened, she only knew how to endure and wouldn’t speak out. Chen Jie knew that even if he engaged in frivolous activities outside, she would know and yet she wouldn’t reprimand him even slightly.
She would just hide in a corner and weep silently.
Oh, this foolish woman!
Chen Jie really couldn’t bear to hurt her!
That’s why he bought an orange, as a disguise. He knew he wasn’t a person who could resist temptation, but he didn’t want to be a heartless man. This woman had suffered too much for him.
Even if he could make her a little happier, it was good.
Chen Jie asked again, "What is it?"
Then he immediately added;
"That rouge..."
"Husband, have you encountered danger?"
Chen Jie and Su Yunjin almost spoke at the same time, then both were stunned on the spot.
After a moment, Chen Jie said, "Is that what you wanted to ask?"
Su Yunjin glanced at the hair she had thrown on the ground, pretending not to know, "What else could it be? Husband, this hair, and the tears on your clothes, you’re not hurt, are you?"
Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah, about that, it’s nothing, actually, I didn’t want to tell you to keep you from worrying."
"Husband, the less you say, the more I worry."
His wife stated, and Chen Jie replied, "Then let me tell you, today as I was leaving the restaurant..."
Chen Jie recounted the events, but he substituted the Yihong House with a regular restaurant. Then about how Yu Biao’s butler had hired assassins to attack him which was unsuccessful and instead, he made a fortune of 1,500 silver notes.
Oh right, and there was also quite an interesting secret manual.
Listening to today’s assassination peril, Su Yunjin was heart-wrenched from start to finish. Hearing about that surprise sword thrust from the shadows, she shivered as if she experienced it herself.

Chen Jie, feeling Su Yunjin’s tension, took her little hand and said, "It’s okay now, actually, it’s rather good. An assassination attempt gave me 1,500 taels. A few more assassination attempts, and we could indeed get rich."
Smack!
"What nonsense are you talking."
Su Yunjin then stretched her hand and softly tapped on Chen Jie’s arm, gentle but quite loud.
The next moment, she immediately said anxiously, "Oops, I hope it didn’t hurt!"
Seeing this, Chen Jie almost laughed; he, a strong practitioner of the Willow Tendon Realm, and his wife, without any martial arts training, could she really hurt him?
That Yu Biao, the butler, and even the assassin should go smash their heads on tofu!
However, at this moment, Chen Jie pretended to be in pain, immediately clutching his arm and groaning, "Ouch, it hurts..."
Su Yunjin said, "How could it hurt? I didn’t hit hard. Is it from the injury during today’s assassination?"
"Um."
"Let me see."
Su Yunjin looked anxiously, but just then, Chen Jie suddenly kissed her forehead.
"Stop it, husband, it’s not a broken bone, is it? Should we find a doctor?"
At this Chen Jie laughed, "Why find a doctor, you are the best doctor for your husband!"
"Ah~"
"Don’t, husband, it’s all water..."
...
Turning clouds and rain, journeying together to Wushan, how many times the spring wind has visited Yumen Pass.
Affectionate and tender, lamenting the folly of men and women, thrice tolls the plum blossom white with frost.
...
At midnight, Chen Jie slowly awakened and looked at the woman nestled in his arms.
Gently, he stroked her hair, not knowing if it was his imagination, today his wife seemed extraordinarily initiative.
As if she was battling some imagined enemy.
Yet, it was all to his benefit unwittingly.
Thinking this, Chen Jie opened the intelligence panel.
Coming back late to sleep tonight, Chen Jie also woke up late, as he nearly always ensured a sleeping time of between two and a half to three two-hour intervals each night.
Therefore, since he slept late today, naturally he woke up a bit later.
Opening the intelligence panel.
