Chapter 1303 - 303: Wife, You Have Suffered

"Jin’er, Wan’er, I’m back!"

Riding his horse down the long street with eagerness, Chen Jie arrived at the doorstep and shouted, then promptly leapt off the horse.

He ascended the steps, and at this moment, no one dared to block Chen Jie’s path.

Everyone knew that at this time, no matter how big an issue was, it wasn’t as important as the Gang Leader meeting his two wives.

Chen Jie stepped onto the stairs, and Su Yunjin and Huang Wan’er could no longer hold back, saying in unison, "Husband! Mr. Chen!"

With that, the two women threw themselves at him, the three embracing each other, with the two women already in tears.

"Husband."

Su Yunjin softly whispered into Chen Jie’s ear, feeling the burden on her shoulders lighten in an instant, relaxing her entire being considerably.

In this past month, Su Yunjin’s heart was on tenterhooks, especially since the foundations of Huangzhou Prefecture, Qianjiang Prefecture, and Tianmen Prefecture relied on this woman’s management and coordination.

With Chen Jie not around, Su Yunjin, as the wife, played half the role of the Stabilizing Needle.

Recently, the old fool in Xianning Prefecture was stirring up trouble, and Zhou Chu’s side was strained, leaving Su Yunjin to support with immense pressure.

Afraid that old scoundrel in Xianning Prefecture might invade our Huangzhou Prefecture, ruining the legacy her husband risked his life to build.

These days have been incredibly hard for her, inherently a delicate woman but forced to endure enormous pressure from all directions; truly, Su Yunjin was exhausted, not physically, but mentally.

Seeing Chen Jie return now, Su Yunjin sighed in relief, letting go of the burdens on her shoulders.

Chen Jie understood Su Yunjin’s exhaustion, knowing her sacrifices for him; he gently patted her back, reassuring her, "It’s alright, I’m back, I’ll take care of everything, it’s alright now."

Su Yunjin, hearing this, softly whimpered, "I was just afraid of ruining everything, fearing that I’d lose all the legacy you built."

Seeing Su Yunjin so heartbroken, Chen Jie said, "It’s okay, you did very well, you did very well!"

Comforting Su Yunjin, she stopped crying, while on the other side, Huang Wan’er whispered in Chen Jie’s left ear, "Mr. Chen, I hate you!"

With that, she bit into Chen Jie’s shoulder.

Like an angry little lion, but with Chen Jie’s current Dragon Realm strength, protected by Gang Qi, his body was resilient, fortunately suppressing all his Gang Qi just in time.

Otherwise, the mere rebound from his Gang Qi would have sent Huang Wan’er, with her Energy Transformation level, flying.

However, Chen Jie suppressed all his Gang Qi, allowing Huang Wan’er to bite him, letting her vent all her grievances and sadness.

Anyway, it didn’t hurt.

Additionally, Chen Jie genuinely felt some remorse towards Huang Wan’er.

At this moment, Huang Wan’er bit deeply into Chen Jie’s shoulder, wanting to release all her pent-up grievances.

We agreed you’d be back when I gave birth, why didn’t you return?

We agreed you’d witness the birth of your first child, why didn’t you?

Do you know what kind of pain I endured for you?

Do you know I walked away from the Ghost Gate, do you know how close I was to never seeing you again, how I believed I might never see you again!

"Boo hoo hoo..."

Huang Wan’er shouted frantically in her heart, feeling aggrieved, stifled, wanting to vent, thus clenching her teeth, unleashing all her negative emotions.

She kept biting Chen Jie’s shoulder, refusing to let go, tears streaming down her face.

Seeing Huang Wan’er cry so sorrowfully, Chen Jie helplessly said, "Well, you’re the one biting me, I didn’t cry, why are you crying!"

Huang Wan’er raised her head, teared-up eyes glaring at Chen Jie, saying, "So what if I bite you, you deserve it."

At this moment, Su Yunjin, standing by, said, "Husband, Sister Huang endured so much, her labor was problematic, almost..."

Not continuing, Su Yunjin stopped, but Chen Jie understood, then wrapped his arms around Huang Wan’er’s waist, saying, "Wan’er, you’ve suffered."

Hearing this, Huang Wan’er cried even more, but calmed down after a moment, saying, "Knowing that I’ve suffered, treat me and our child better, or else I won’t forgive you."

Listening to Huang Wan’er’s words, Chen Jie replied, "Rest assured, I, Chen Jie, will never disappoint you two in this life."

Having said that, Chen Jie asked, "By the way, where’s my child?"

Su Yunjin replied, "The wind’s strong outside, and the child is still too small to be exposed."

Chen Jie said, "Oh, then let me, as a father, go see him."

Saying this, Chen Jie turned to the literary and martial attendees at the Chen Residence banquet, "Everyone, I’m going to see my child first, you’re all familiar with this place by now, enjoy yourselves; I’ll be out to accompany you later."

Hearing this, the crowd responded in unison.

Chen Jie turned and saw Yu Chun and his godson Wang Yong, ruffled his hair, saying, "Yong’er, you’ve grown quite a bit taller."

Wang Yong, getting his head patted by Chen Jie, enjoyed it immensely, saying, "Thank you, godfather."

Chen Jie said, "Alright, you follow Uncle Yu Chun and help your godfather greet the uncles and elders here."

Wang Yong, hearing this, said, "Yes, godfather."

Having said this, Wang Yong instantly went with Yu Chun to entertain the numerous Fishing Guild elders who returned with Chen Jie this time.

Chen Jie then followed his family towards the inner courtyard, and while walking, he felt something was missing, saying, "Right, wife, where’s Ruirui?"

Su Yunjin replied, "Sneaking around, being punished."

Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin’s stern demeanor, saying, "Don’t be too harsh, let him out for dinner later."
