The following events can be easily deduced.

Jiang Wei harbored a deep grudge against Wen Wannian because of his younger brother's death, which is why he openly threatened to chop off one of his arms.

However, the cost of 'losing an arm' is to shift the blame. Jiang Wei is not a fool. Perhaps the real anger has already been directed at the true culprit who truly caused Jiang Li's sudden death.

"Can you accept it?" Wen Wannian's soft voice carried a hint of helplessness. His clear black eyes flickered with a certain kind of turbulence, and the corners of his mouth curved into a faint yet captivating smile.

Su Ruobai stared at him for a moment and then silently turned her head away. "I can accept it."

Wen Wannian's smile deepened at the corners of his mouth.

Feeling his smile, Su Ruobai furrowed her brows in embarrassment. She didn't want to meet his gaze, so she buried herself in the blankets, turning her back to Wen Wannian. Her voice sounded muffled, carrying a hint of unhappiness.

"I'm going to sleep, you can go back."

"That's fine then." Wen Wannian deeply watched his back, his eyes as deep as the sea, seemingly bottomless. "Rest well, and I will bring you food for lunch."

Su Ruobai: "Hmm..."

[Progress: 6/100]

'……'

Originally, it would only take three or four days to return to Kyoto, but due to Su Ruobai's fright, Wen Wannian ended up staying off work for an entire week, claiming that it was for his own good rest.

If one were to describe what Jiang Wei's matter had brought to Su Ruobai, Su Ruobai could only use four words to describe it -

Terrified and trembling with fear.

In the previous life, Su Ruobai was unfamiliar with her cheap husband. They were like strangers who appeared familiar upon meeting, showing a polite smile, exchanging a few greetings, and quickly ending the conversation.

In this life, he initially wanted to approach this man with a different mindset, only to find that as he got closer, the comfort of the previous life often disappeared.

Ever since being kidnapped by Jiang Wei, Wen Wannian seemed to have become even more devoted to him. When not working, she took care of him meticulously and attended to his every need.

But Su Ruobai felt that the relationship between them was becoming more and more rigid.

In this chilling realization, a multitude of worries followed suit.

If one day in the future, he and Wen Wannian were to part ways, what would he use to support himself?

Will the Su family still want him? The answer to this question is obvious. The Su family wishes he would die outside.

According to Wen Wannian's principles of conduct, even if there comes a day when he truly decides to part ways, he would not leave himself empty-handed. No matter what compensation he receives, he cannot afford to just sit back and enjoy a free ride.

In this situation, Su Ruobai began considering whether or not to find a job for herself.

In terms of cultural knowledge, Su Ruobai is exceptionally knowledgeable, even surpassing some students currently in school. She holds certificates, and they are from prestigious foreign institutions. Mr. Su had laid a solid foundation for Su Ruobai's academic achievements before he passed away.

Now, Su Ruobai's only lacking is experience.

No matter where he goes or what he does, he always starts from the most basic level.

Su Ruobai, who had made up his mind, told Wen Wannian about this decision that very night. Whether it was for public or personal reasons, Su Ruobai had the right to know.

"Work?" Wen Wannian pondered for a moment, and then said softly, "Why should one make a decision about work?"

This question did make Su Ruobai silent for a moment.

In his twilight years, a glimmer flashed in Wen Wenyan's eyes as he asked, "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to say?"

Su Ruoba: "No, it's just... I want to find something to do."

I'm just afraid that if you break up with me, I'll end up sleeping on the streets.

Su Ruobai, who was not good at lying, avoided eye contact and pursed his thin lips, revealing a hint of uneasiness.

Wen Wannian stared at him for a long time, then suddenly burst into a light laughter.

"Lie."
