The Husband I Snatched Is Not Right!-Chapter 150: Matters Between Husband and Wife Are Not for Outsiders to See
Whenever she spoke sweet words, Yu Tingwan never felt anything special about it.
But this time, as a listener, she fell into deep thought.
The words were contrived, yet the emotions weren’t full, lacking in feeling, making it seem fake.
She reflected.
She would change!
No wonder!
No wonder Wei Zhao didn’t believe it!
Indeed, Wei Zhao let out a sarcastic laugh.
Wei Zhao approached, not rudely, but not gently either, draping a garment over her head.
He said, "I need to go out for a while."
She pulled it off, just about to touch her hair to see if it was out of place, but upon hearing this, her smile faded slightly.
She gave Wei Zhao a deep look.
She didn’t ask when he would return.
Nor did she ask where he was going.
Wei Zhao is like an eagle; once his wings are healed, he’ll inevitably fly away. She knew this from the moment Chi Yu came looking.
As for whether he’ll come back or not...
The Wei Family, after all, is not his home.
In name, she is not even Wei Zhao’s wife.
Between the two of them, things remain clean and clear.
The girl pursed her lips, holding the garment in her arms, and after a moment, let out an "Oh."
The man did not move, taking in all her emotions.
He lazily glanced at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu understood and quickly left the courtyard, giving Yu Tingwan a cupped fist salute as he passed by.
He went to wait by the door, not forgetting to close it as he went.
Now, only Wei Zhao and the girl were left in the courtyard.
The girl wondered, "Why did he leave?"
Wei Zhao: "I don’t know."
The man sighed, "Maybe he was just too much of an eyesore."
After a moment of silence, her voice remained as calm as always.
"Your body hasn’t fully recovered, be careful in everything. Don’t throw caution to the wind and put yourself in danger."
"Take your medicine on time, don’t always make people remind you."
She was about to say more when a low sigh sounded above her head.
The half-open window creaked in the wind.
Wei Zhao brushed aside a strand of her hair blown by the wind, tucking it behind her ear, inadvertently touching her soft and tender earlobe.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze deepened, the emotions in his eyes so intense they couldn’t be dispersed: "I often wonder if I’m not making it obvious enough."
"Do you know why Chi Yu is such an eyesore?"
Before the girl could respond, Wei Zhao’s low voice overflowed: "Matters between husband and wife are not meant for outsiders’ eyes."
Hearing this, the girl was stunned.
She looked up at him, a bit at a loss.
But precisely because of this, it made things easier for Wei Zhao.
The man’s body suddenly leaned down without warning, capturing her rosy lips.
His palm clasped her slender waist, the movement wasn’t forceful, yet it was enough to prevent her from refusing, pulling her closer to himself.
No other actions followed, only a rare, lingering brush against her soft lips.
"Yu Tingwan."
"Wait for me to come home."

"Hey! Why are you daydreaming in front of my future husband’s portrait?"
Yu Tingwan was pulled back to reality by Liu Yan’s voice.
She was a bit dazed.
Seeing Yu Tingwan remain silent, Liu Yan felt ignored.
The matchmaker introduced her to a man named Wang Hao.
They said his life was tragic.
He had a blind mother, and his father passed away early, leaving him to take care of the household.
Yet, despite the hardships, he still cared for his sick mother.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan felt sympathetic.
Earlier this year, Wang Hao’s mother passed away too, leaving him unburdened.
How could Liu Yan not be satisfied?
With Wang Hao entering the house, they could live a steady life together.
What she didn’t know was how much of it was true and how much was false.
Liu Yan: "No matter how good he is, he’s not yours."
"You’re already married; don’t have thoughts you shouldn’t."
She was about to take back the portrait, lest someone else covet it, but her wrist was grabbed.
Yu Tingwan was unexpectedly strong, and for a moment, Liu Yan found it hard to break free.
"You..."
Liu Yan looked at Yu Tingwan incredulously: "You wouldn’t dare to strike again, would you?"
She warned.
"You just moved here, but my Liu Family holds a place in Ze County. If you dare to offend me, I have the means to send you right back to where you came from!"
Yu Tingwan didn’t let go, her gaze was calm.
She spoke seriously: "You are the youngest daughter in the family, with two older brothers who are already married."
"You have a knack for business. The shops under the Liu Family’s name were established by you, and all the business is managed by you."
"Ze County is plagued by corrupt officials, yet you have managed to earn clean money for all these years, resisting all pressures without colluding with those snakes and rats."
This is also why the jails were almost full yet the Liu Family remained safe and sound.
"Despite everything, just this alone commands my respect."
Liu Yan’s anger completely dissipated.
Suddenly being complimented, and by Yu Tingwan, who infuriated her, left her feeling a bit dizzy.
Liu Yan didn’t think Yu Tingwan was lying.
After all! She herself felt proud of it.
In business, besides being skilled, one also needs to have a straight backbone. Once it bends, even a little storm can crush it.
Forget it.
She didn’t feel like arguing with Yu Tingwan anymore.
In the next moment, the girl spoke in an odd tone: "But how can you fall for just anyone?"
"Nowadays, marrying into a woman’s family is looked down upon. Unless absolutely necessary, would someone willing to marry into your family truly be interested in you?"
Liu Yan: ???
Is it impossible for you to say a few nice words!
Yu Tingwan: "I think that anyone who can run a business must be smart."
She was genuinely puzzled.
"But how can you..."
For a moment, the girl didn’t want to discourage her, but couldn’t find suitable words.
Yu Tingwan racked her brains: "Are you tired of living?"
Liu Yan: "...What?"
She had a small round face, adorned with gold and silver, rouge on her cheeks. Not plain, but at first glance, most people would notice other things.
Like the Jade Pendant at her waist, the golden hairpin in her hair, or the carnelian earrings.
In the thriving Capital, this would be nothing, but Ze County is a place of poverty.
How could it not attract attention?
How could the Liu Family’s business not spur covetous thoughts?
But the death was truly unjust.
If no one had tampered with the carriage, Yu Tingwan wouldn’t believe it.
The girl released her hand, pulling the portrait from her grasp, giving it a quick glance.
He was thin.
In a fight, he’d definitely be the one beaten.
Yet, people like him were quite shrewd.
Hu Yaozu was a case in point.
Everyone still believed he was a good-natured gentleman.
"If you marry him, you’ll die within four months."
Mumbling nonsense.
Cursing her!
Liu Yan: "What an ominous thing to say!"
"But I’ve already had our birth charts matched, the fortune-teller said we’re a perfect match."
Yu Tingwan: "Maybe the fortune-teller is a fake."
"Impossible, that Daoist is an acquaintance of my family, famous in Ze County for his accurate predictions."
Yu Tingwan: "Then the birth charts must be fake."
"Impossible,..."
Liu Yan wanted to say more.
Yu Tingwan continued talking to herself: "Who knows, maybe his entire identity is fake."
