Chapter 539 Are you trying to tease me?
Lin Yunxi went shocked stilled after listening to Lin Zhi"s words, she has always known that her aunt was nothing sort of being a shrew but she still blushed when she heard the word "a.s.s" coming out of her aunt"s mouth. On one hand, she was upset with her aunt but at another hand, she was somewhat contemptuous of her, she should have known better nothing right comes out of the mouth of a used woman. Just look at her cla.s.sless att.i.tude and those vulgar words.
Lin Che was the same, he didn"t even look at the man who was standing behind his aunt, he just took one glance at his aunt who seemed to have given up on shame, to think she would use such rude words in front of her niece and nephews. Simply disgusting!
Lin Zhi didn"t care about their contemptuous glares, instead, all her attention was focused on Zhang Xiaohui who came out of her room. When Lin Zhi saw that Zhang Xiaohui wasn"t carrying her bag, she heaved a sigh of relief at least she wasn"t leaving with these two little ancestors who believed that the entire family owed them something.
Lin Yunxi and Lin Che also noticed that their mother was coming out of the room without her bag and was a bit stupefied. They looked at her and opened their mouth to say something but then Zhang Xiaohui held out her hand and motioned Lin Yunxi to take what was in her hand, Lin Yunxi exchanged a glance with Lin Che and stretched out her hand when the latter nodded his head. When Lin Yunxi held out her palm, Zhang Xiaohui dropped five taels in her hand and said, " You two have already broken all relationships with me, going by this alone, I have no responsibility to take care of you two but you are right, in the end, I am still your mother and can"t watch you starve to death. So, I will give you five taels, even though I don"t have much to take care of myself—— I am still willingly handing you these five taels with the hope that you two will learn to work hard in the future and stop lazing about. If you two take care of your expenses and spend these five taels wisely you will be able to leave the next five or six months comfortably by then the crops in the fields will be ready to be harvested. Alright?"
Lin Yunxi took the money, though she thought that her mother was giving her a lot less when compared to those five taels that she was keeping with her, Lin Yunxi still took the five taels that were given to her. After all, it was clear that her mother wasn"t going to come with them but they still needed to eat dinner right?
She pouted with a reluctant expression as she looked at her mother. " Mother, are you really not going to come with us?"
It wasn"t that Lin Yunxi was really that close to her mother but when she thought about the gold jewellery that her mother took away with her, Lin Yunxi"s heart couldn"t help but itch that was worth a lot of money. If her mother doesn"t return home then all that jewellery will go to waste!
Zhang Xiaohui didn"t say anything but her silence was enough as an answer.
Lin Yunxi pursed her lips then she put the five taels in her pocket and stomped away. Lin Che looked at his mother and shook his head as if he was really disappointed by her decision. " Mother, I expected better from you."
Then he too turned around and left like his sister.
" You didn"t do anything wrong." when Su Wan saw that Zhang Xiaohui was still standing at the front door with a reluctant and hurt expression on her face, she hopped down and said what was on her mind, she let little meow jump down on the floor and looked at Zhang Xiaohui. " You are not the only parent those two have. Choosing your own happiness over theirs does not make you wrong and you shouldn"t think about it either."
Zhang Xiaohui took a deep breath and nodded. Su Wan was right, she might have been selfish but that didn"t make her wrong.
———————————————
Lin Yan was disgruntled by the sudden appearance of those two annoying pests but he still stomped to the bathhouse and took another bath. Because it was summer his body was sweating a lot and because of the whole " come back with us mother" fiasco, he was once again smelling of sweat. It was his first night naturally he didn"t want to smell bad to his wife.
When he entered the room, Su Wan was taking off her blouse. She raised her brow when she saw him walking in then continued to take off her clothes. It was as if he wasn"t even there, first she took off her blouse then her skirt before she took off her dudou and slipped on her robe. She did all of that without even flinching or shying away from him. Was it because she was too comfortable with him or was it because she thought that he wasn"t man enough to do anything to her.
Lin Yan closed the door behind him and looked at Su Wan with a heated gaze. " Are you trying to tease me or something?"
Su Wan looked at him and smiled before she backed away, holding his gaze that was gleaming with masculine intensity. She wasn"t scared of him and neither was she trying to flee from him, she was indeed teasing him. She wrapped the robe around her in a way that accentuated her curves and smirked. " So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?"
His brows rose as he advanced at her with smooth, predatory steps as he untangled his shirt and flipped it on the floor loving the small gasp that escaped out of her lips. Yup, he has been working out.
Su Wan was so caught up in the sight of his rippling muscles that flexed as he walked, that she forgot to breathe. When did he become so manly? Not that he wasn"t before but these muscles weren"t there before. Her back met the wall of the bedroom and in just a few steps Lin Yan has closed upon her.
" Are you going to stop me, Wan Wan?" He wrapped his hand around her throat, hard enough to make her uncomfortable. " Will you?"
" I don"t think you will stop though."
" Good point," said Lin Yan as his lips curved up and his mouth slammed against hers.
