Chapter 273: Taking Advantage of the Situation

"Eh? What are you all doing standing around like that?" Su Wen found Su Xue and Fifth Sister standing in the courtyard when she arrived home. Tension filled the air, creating an unusual atmosphere. "You all... Wuwu..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhou Hengyang slapped a hand over her mouth, preventing her from saying anything.

Su Wen glared at Zhou Hengyang angrily.

What was he doing? Why had he covered her mouth?

Despite his wife's death stare, Zhou Hengyang did not relent. Instead, he dragged her back to their room, only releasing her when they were safely behind closed doors. He sat on Su Wen's bed, tracing the skin of his palm where it had met Su Wen's soft lips.

A smoldering heat emanated from his hand even as his eyes darkened.

"Why didn't you let me speak?" Su Wen demanded angrily.

"Because you were going to say something stupid." Zhou Hengyang dragged Su Wen to sit beside him.
