Chapter 379: Chapter 378: Joyous Feast, Drink a Pot 4 Chapter 379: Chapter 378: Joyous Feast, Drink a Pot 4 Shen Han was slightly stunned, then his sword-like eyebrows lightly furrowed. He didnât immediately respond, but it was tantamount to acquiescence.
Tang Zelin hooked the corner of his lips, smiling, âNo wonder my Su Shu fell in love with me.â
Upon hearing Tang Zelinâs words, Shen Hanâs complexion grew even more ashen.
As Tang Zelin passed by Shen Han, he heavily patted his shoulder twice, âThank you for your kind intentions, Mr. Shen. The Capital City might be great, but I think, given the choice, my wife would prefer to stay by my side. Sheâs waiting for me to come home for dinner, so I wonât chat any longer. Goodbye.â
With that, he strode away, bag in hand.
Left alone, Shen Han clenched his fists tightly, the veins on the back of his hands standing out.
The woman who was unmistakably his was being called another manâs wife out loudâand Shen Han felt a fierce fire burning in his chest.
On what basis did he act as if he knew Su Shu better than Shen Han himself?
Tang Zelin had only known Su Shu for a short time, whereas he had known her for over a decade.
He couldnât be contentâhe had merely been one step too late, so why should his woman become someone elseâs?
Moreover⊠just the slightest thought of Su Shu beneath another man, even if it was just a passing thought, was enough to make Shen Han feel like his chest was about to explode.

Having encountered Shen Han, the journey from the mountain back home left Tang Zelinâs face with a rather poor complexion as well.
In the presence of enemies, he always refused to show any weakness, but when alone, the Senior Colonelâs relaxed smile disappeared entirely.
His expression was stern as he ascended the mountain. Occasionally, when he ran into familiar faces greeting him, he would merely nod his head rather than relax as he usually did.
He told himself there was no need to care.
Yet in his mind, he couldnât help replaying Shen Hanâs wordsâespecially the self-assured way the other man stood in front of him, declaring he and Su Shu were ill-matched, which thoroughly enraged him.
He had the gall to say such things on hisâTang Zelinâsâturf, no less!
Truly, like a young master used to having his way, did he think he deserved to be accommodated wherever he went? Tomorrow, he would have Old Qu contact the Capital City; damn it, let him roll back to wherever he came from! These Shen and Jiang familiesâthis was his, Tang Zelinâs, territory in C City!
When Tang Zelin entered the door, Su Shu heard the noise but didnât come to greet him, as she was busy folding dried clothes on the bed inside the left room.
Ever since Su Shuâs home had been renovated by Tang Zelin and his soldiers, it was divided into two rooms: one for her and Tang Zelin, and the other for Xiaoâai.
Su Shu accused him of having ulterior motives, and Tang Zelin didnât argue, thinking to himself that if enjoying marital life equated to ulterior motives, then he was nothing but bad intentions through and through.
âYouâre back?â
She knew it was Tang Zelin who had entered just by the sound of footsteps at the door.
But she didnât hear the usual response. She bundled up the folded clothes and was just about to turn around when she was embraced from behind.
The manâs strong arms wound around her waist, and Su Shu was gently jostled, her hands steadying herself on the edge of the bed as she turned around in his embrace.
âYouâre back so early today?â
Tang Zelin bent down to capture her lips, drawing the sweetness from her mouth. Once he was certain the woman in his arms belonged to him and the faint voice in his ear was impatient because of him, he felt the anxiety that had been with him on the way home subside.
Su Shu was hisâshe belonged to him, Tang Zelin.
Whether they were suitable or not, it wasnât for others to decide, only he had the say.
Bending over, he lifted Su Shu in his arms, pressing her down onto the bed, his heavy body weighing down on her, firmly trapping his newlywed wife beneath him.
