Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Protection
After stepping out from her parents’ room, Su Yunjin noticed that Gu Ya had been staring at her, puzzled. Su Yunjin asked Gu Ya, “Why are you staring at me?”
Inside the room just now, the little wife’s words seemed innocent enough, but Gu Ya had detected that every sentence was teaching her parents to stand up for themselves, to resist being bossed around and manipulated by her step-grandmother.
Fortunately, he had been worried about the little wife today and had followed her to her parental home.
With him there, he could protect the little wife a bit!
But who was this Fan Wenxuan that people were whispering about in the courtyard today?
What was his relationship with the little wife?
“Yunjin, who is Fan Wenxuan?” With curiosity in his heart, Gu Ya voiced his doubts.
Su Yunjin hadn’t expected Gu Ya to ask about Fan Wenxuan.
She paused for a moment, “Why do you ask about him?”
Su Yunjin didn’t seem to have much impression of that scumbag Fan Wenxuan.
She just remembered that the man had fairly pale skin.
Gu Ya seemed to have heard from those people that Fan Wenxuan might have been the little wife’s former fiancé? Yet, why had he never heard of this before?
“Was he your former fiancé?” Gu Ya asked, looking at the little wife.
Su Yunjin was nonchalant, “Sort of! Not very familiar; my father arranged the match, and he called it off a year ago. After that, he and I had nothing to do with each other.”
The little wife spoke indifferently, and Gu Ya could see that the little wife really had no connection with that Fan Wenxuan. He didn’t pursue the topic further, but suddenly took Su Yunjin’s hand in his. Feeling her hand suddenly enveloped by a slightly calloused, large hand, Su Yunjin instinctively wanted to pull hers away.
Gu Ya, however, held onto her hand and wouldn’t let go.
Why had this man suddenly taken hold of her hand?
Su Yunjin glared at Gu Ya, but he kept holding her hand as if he hadn’t seen her glare.
Since she and Gu Ya were husband and wife, having been even more intimate, what was holding hands in comparison?
Since Gu Ya didn’t let go, Su Yunjin just let him be.
After the fuss caused by Su Xiaofu and her step-grandmother, the room for her and Gu Ya hadn’t been tidied up yet. So, Su Yunjin decided to go back and clean up the place they were to stay in that night.
Gu Ya and she returned to the room she used to live in. There was quite a bit of dust in the room, and Su Yunjin decided to first dust the room before sweeping the floor.
The bed and other things in the room also needed to be wiped down, otherwise it would be impossible to sleep there at night.
Su Yunjin found something to wipe the tables and chairs in the room. Remembering what Gu Ya had said to her before, she spoke, “Husband, didn’t you say you were going back to the Gu Family?”
Gu Ya had planned to return to the Gu Family, but now he had changed his mind. In case the little wife’s step-grandmother and uncle and aunt came looking for trouble again, Gu Ya decided to stay by the little wife’s side for the time being.
In the event that the little wife’s step-grandmother, uncle, and aunt made trouble again, he would be there to protect her.
“Yunjin, what are you doing? I’ll help you clean the room.”
“Husband, aren’t you going back?” Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya with a puzzled face, not understanding why he had changed his mind about leaving.
Gu Ya didn’t explain to the little wife, simply saying, “It’s not urgent now. Let me help you sort the room out first. It won’t be too late for me to return to the Gu Family afterward.”
