Han Dongchen thought, if he didn't allow Su Xiaowan to do as she wished, she would resist the most fiercely, even downright madly.
Did she think this was also imprisonment? If he could not imprison her heart, then he would imprison her body?
Han Dongchen considered it and realized it made sense. Wasn't what he was doing exactly what she was describing?
Every time their opinions diverged, whenever he could not win an argument, he would customarily suppress her there and then, not allowing her to move, a simple and crude way to subdue her.
Han Dongchen felt that a woman should simply listen to a man. He thought of himself as the head of the household, and his woman should obey him.
But, Su Xiaowan was very independent. Han Dongchen had no choice but to suppress her by force. Was this the only way he could feel that his authority as head of the household was not being challenged?
Was this the only way he could feel victorious?
