Arranging an identity for Yu Yanshu was not a difficult task, but Su Chengyu had no confidence that he could refrain from being overly protective of Yu Yanshu. He therefore chose the simplest and most direct approach, allowing people to believe Yu Yanshu was his woman.
In Dongying, a woman represents a man's face and status, and the more prominent the man, the more he would protect his woman in public, treating her as his possession.
To Su Chengyu, using this identity to mask his care for Yu Yanshu was more than appropriate.
And to prevent the He Mao Clan from getting suspicious, Su Chengyu had purposefully staged the play yesterday.
After all, a person found under their watch was far less likely to be suspected by them.
A foolproof concealment of Yu Yanshu's identity was naturally impossible, but if everyone could detect something was off with Yu Yanshu, Su Chengyu himself was likely to be exposed as well.
