Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Women Need to be Coaxed _1
Yun Hao also realized that Meng Yunhan was getting tired. Their sisters-in-law had already taken their children and left, and now only the brothers remained at home.
“You should go to bed.” Yun Hao said, his voice dry.
Yun Hai and Yun Lei exchanged glances. Their youngest brother hadn’t changed at all, even after getting married. He was still so curt when he spoke. Couldn’t he use a few more words?
Thankfully, their sister-in-law didn’t take issue with that.
“I’m not tired.” In fact, Meng Yunhan had been leaning on Yun Hao the whole time. If she was too tired, she would lean on him for support.
“Go to bed.” Yun Hao repeated.
At this point, Yun Hai, as the eldest brother, couldn’t just stand by and spoke up as well. “Sister-in-law, if you’re exhausted, you should go to your room. We brothers will keep watch.”
Meng Yunhan responded politely, “In that case, I’ll go to my room first. Thank you, big brother and second brother.”
After Meng Yunhan excused herself, Yun Lei turned to Yun Hao, “Ahao, tell her that she doesn’t need to be so polite in the future. We’re all family.”
Yun Hai had inherited their father’s honesty and straightforwardness.
People often said, ‘the eldest is naive, the second is cunning’, and this rang true with Yun Lei who now kept score for the team.
“She’s always like this. She’ll get used to it and change eventually,” Yun Hao responded casually. His thoughts had followed Meng Yunhan. It was so cold, wouldn’t she be freezing without his warmth?
“Ahao, Meng Yunhan is your wife. You shouldn’t always have such a stern face. Speak some pleasant, soft words.” Yun Lei knew that his youngest brother had been this way since childhood, but if he continued to treat his wife this way, what would she think as she stayed at home alone year-round?
Yun Hai agreed with Yun Lei’s words, “Ahao, your second brother is right. Yunhan is educated and even though she’s accommodating, you should still learn to give her a smile, especially considering the amount of time you’re away from home.”
In fact, both Yun Hai and Yun Lei were quite envious of their youngest brother. He had married a well-behaved, good-looking woman who cooked well. But would this aloof demeanor of his scare Yunhan?
“Big brother, second brother, how do you appease your wives?” Yun Hao also knew he lacked expressiveness, so he humbly asked his older brothers for advice.
Yun Hai and Yun Lei exchanged glances, both taken aback by Yun Hao’s question.
Yun Hai coughed lightly, awkwardly concluding, “Women need to be appeased.”
Yun Lei barely suppressed a chuckle, “Ahao, women… as long as you satisfy them in that regard, they’ll be obedient.”
Yun Hai cringed even more. Could they really say that in front of Ahao?
“Second brother, what are you saying?”
Yun Lei grinned, “Big brother, I didn’t say anything wrong.”
Yun Hai didn’t really know how to refute that. It was a fact.
It was a topic they had never brought up before Ahao, and the second brother, too, realized that Ahao was a married man. But looking at the delicate Yunhan, he couldn’t help but wonder what she had to put up with.
Yun Hao didn’t react and stood still.
Yun Hai and Yun Lei exchanged a helpless glance at Yun Hao’s lack of reaction.
“Ahao, you’re usually not at home. Now that you are, you should treat Yunhan well.” Yun Hai coughed lightly. As the eldest brother, he spoke these profound words.
“Hm.” Yun Hao finally responded.
“Ahao, let me teach you a few tricks. Women, you can’t reason with them. If she makes a fuss, just take her to bed.”
