The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1489 - 1488: Misunderstanding

No matter if it was a maid specially found for Wang Han, as long as Tang Rao didn't find a concubine sister for Wang Han on the first day of marriage, Wang Han could still pretend to be unaware of anything."Tang Rao, you still haven't given me an explanation. Why did the Nine-Tailed Snow Beast die so suddenly?"

It didn't die earlier or later, but precisely on the wedding day, and died so inexplicably that even Tang Rao was shocked and rushed out to investigate the truth as soon as he arrived at the Tang Mansion, without even greeting the guests. This shows how suspicious the death of the Nine-Tailed Snow Beast was and that Tang Rao truly didn't know the whole story, rather than intentionally showing Wang Han a bad face.

Before Tang Rao could answer how the Nine-Tailed Snow Beast died, it was Yue Er who trembled, and while pouring tea for Tang Rao and Wang Han, the tea spilled onto Wang Han.

"Spare me, madam!"

Yue Er had already become a frightened bird, and having suddenly angered Wang Han, there was no guarantee that Wang Han wouldn't punish Yue Er.

"You really have a knack for picking maids."

Wang Han's words implied more than they said, and Tang Rao naturally understood, but he couldn't say. On one side was Yue Er, who knew the truth and who Tang Rao had always backed, and on the other was the wife Tang Rao had just married today. The more Tang Rao spoke, the more mistakes he would make; saying nothing was the wisest choice.

"Tang Rao, the maid you found poured water on me. Aren't you going to explain?"

The question was directly posed to Tang Rao, and if he continued to play deaf and dumb, Wang Han might look to make trouble for Tang Rao.

"My lady, maids are slowly trained. I just met her and wanted to bring her to you so you could train her personally. My heart, you must understand."

Having said so much, what else could Wang Han say?

"In that case, I'll take this maid. I'll train her myself in the future, so don't feel sorry!"

Was Wang Han threatening Tang Rao, or was it a warning?

"Of course, of course, that's only natural!"

Tang Rao thought quickly and realized that this might be a trap set by Wang Han. To avoid falling into it, he had to give Wang Han enough face, even if it meant Yue Er had to endure some grievances.

Yue Er, this time you'll have to endure it.

Tang Rao silently apologized to Yue Er in his heart. Seeing Wang Han's expression soften somewhat, his own tensed heart finally relaxed.

"Yue Er, you go out first. My lady and I need to rest. Whatever needs to be said, we can discuss it tomorrow."

Yue Er's continued presence would only reveal more flaws. Tang Rao could help her once but couldn't guarantee a second time.

Yue Er, understanding, left, leaving only Tang Rao and Wang Han in the room.

"My lady, tonight is our bridal night. We only have one room and one bed. It's fine that we share a room, but sharing a bed—it's not just a matter of my consent; surely, you wouldn't agree either, right?"

Tang Rao preemptively blocked Wang Han's attempt to leverage the situation to make any inappropriate demands.

Wang Han didn't want to quarrel over such trivial matters and never intended for anything to happen with Tang Rao, but every time Tang Rao put forward such excuses and spoke words usually uttered by women, it left Wang Han with no face and could be seen as a slap in the face.

"Tang Rao, does this amuse you?"

Wang Han almost raised her hand to strike Tang Rao, but her upbringing held her back just in time.

Tang Rao enjoyed watching Wang Han get angry, expressing her anger while having to suppress it.

This gave Tang Rao a significant sense of achievement.

"Amusing indeed. Your skills surpass mine, your martial arts are better, and even the household obeys you. Even our marriage was decided by you. If I don't ask for your opinion on the bridal night, and then I make a mistake, you'll blame it on me. I can't bear that responsibility."

Can't bear the responsibility?

Clearly, Tang Rao wanted to sever ties even more than Wang Han, creating tension that had been brewing for days, leaving Wang Han regretting why she insisted on marrying him in the first place!

"Since there's only one bed in the room, you sleep on the floor. If you want to distance yourself from me, I'll oblige!"

Wang Han threw his things to the floor and insisted he not sit on the bed.

With everything tossed aside, would he stay in the room?

Someone of his status could hardly be suppressed by Wang Han.

"Enough, if you don't want to share a bed with me, I won't force it. I'll leave to avoid misunderstandings and your reputation being tarnished!"

Tang Rao, being a man of temperament, said he would leave, and he really walked out.

"Tang Rao, if you dare step out of that door, I'll ruin you!"

"I don't dare? Watch me!"

Could Tang Rao not understand Wang Han's subtle thoughts? If she didn't want to be with him, she wouldn't have agreed to marriage. If she didn't want to share a room, she'd have kicked him out. Since she didn't kick him out and didn't want him to leave, wasn't the answer obvious?

Wang Han probably counted on this all along, thinking Tang Rao was oblivious to or hadn't realized her schemes!

This was precisely the time for Tang Rao to lay a trap for Wang Han, to exchange terms, waiting for Wang Han to slip up for so long. Now, he wouldn't let Wang Han off without satisfactory terms.

"Tang Rao, stop right there!"

Wang Han embraced Tang Rao, preventing him from leaving, unaware of how ambiguous her action was.

"Why should I stop? This is my Tang Mansion. You entered my door, and now you want me to sleep on the floor? Our Tang Family has never had such a rule!"

Tang Rao, indignant, spoke a long string of words, slightly calming his anger.

Wang Han was always focused on her interests, not considering how things felt from Tang Rao's perspective.

"I'm sorry. You must believe that I had no choice. After my matters are settled, your wishes concerning our marriage will prevail. Whether a divorce or a break, I'll agree to it!"

What?

Tang Rao thought he heard something outlandish. Wang Han, who had been so eager to marry him, now spoke of separation!

"Don't pretend to be an innocent, pitiable victim. I'm the one victimized here. I married you, resolving all your troubles, and when the troubles are resolved, you kick me aside. Do you find this amusing, or is exploiting someone so trivial it's beneath your notice?"

Wang Han saw understanding in Tang Rao's eyes. Despite his powerful persona, when hurt by Wang Han, he still felt pain and agony.

"That's not what I meant, Tang Rao. You've misunderstood me!"
