Chapter 78 - His Pride
Lin Rui was startled , he turned to look at his door and his heart excitedly leaped in his throat , mayb…maybe Su Wan came to talk with him ? Maybe she realised that she was in the wrong too ? If so then what should he do ! Should he apologise too or should he take it easy ? Of course he need to apologise as well , didn"t he acted like a jerk as well leaving his wife alone when they were supposed to share a bed together ?
Just when Lin Rui "s thoughts were getting more and more frenzied the person outside the door knocked again , and Lin Rui jumped a foot in the air .
" I"m coming " he said cleaning his messy hair , all that tossing and turning had tangled his hair in an ugly knot . He quickly , untangled them as cleanly as possible then hurried over to open the door but just as he opened it , all his excitement drained away because in front of his door Su Wan wasn"t the one who was standing , instead it was his second brother who was standing at the threshold with arms folded in front of his chest .
When Lin Yan saw that his brother had finally opened his door , he c.o.c.ked his eyebrow and said " can"t sleep ? "
" No , I was just trying to read " swallowing his disappointment , Lin Rui answered . All of that excitement ended up in nothing !
Even though Lin Rui tried to hide his disappointment , he couldn"t hide it from Lin Yan who was a shrewd businessman now . Seeing the disappointment that was flickering in his brother"s eyes , Lin Yan couldn"t help but smile in tease " what were you expecting Su Wan ?"
" no , no - I wasn"t that"s not -"
" Alright , will I your elder brother not know that something happened ?" Lin Yan gently patted Lin Rui"s head and stepped inside his brother"s room . In the family , Lin Jing was responsible for protecting his brothers And Lin Yan was responsible for taking care of his brothers , since mother Lin had a weak body from the beginning , Lin Yan was the one who kind of raised his brothers thus , even though the brothers usually fought with each other for Su Wan"s attention in their own childish way , but if something serious happened , they would truly help each other , like right now .
Lin Yan knew that Su Wan and Lin Rui were facing troubles in their relationship and as smart as Lin Rui was , his little brother usually thought about all the solutions to his problems from a logical point of view . Normally , this would work but right now , his smart brother need to start thinking from an emotional point of view instead of using his logic and bookish knowledge .
And for that He need to give his brother a push in the right direction.
" second brother , I was just a little tired nothing else , don"t worry " Lin Rui smiled ruefully , he didn"t want to trouble his elder brother and he also didn"t want to let his brothers know that there was something wrong between him and Su Wan that was yet to be fixed .
Lin Yan tapped Lin Rui"s forehead with his knuckles and laughed " I don"t want to worry about you either but if I don"t direct you in the right direction you and Su Wan might never be able to talk it out clearly with each other "
Lin Yan had long heard what happened from Lin Chen , who for some reason was very upset with his eldest brother for not trying to smoothen things up between Su Wan and Lin Rui .
Their eldest brother was like that , he was someone who would hang a person off the cliff if the person had a fear of height , now that Lin Rui had made Su Wan angry , Their eldest brother would most likely think that Lin Rui should find a solution for it himself , this was how Lin Jing taught his brothers .
But Lin Yan was different , he would at least point his brothers in the right direction before letting them tackle a problem on their own.
" second brother , what do you mean to say ?"
" what I mean is - do you have any inkling about why exactly was Wan Wan angry with you ?" Asked Lin Yan as he strode inside the room and picked up the book that Lin Rui had slammed down on the table and carefully placed it back on its place .
" that -" thinking about the day"s incident , Lin Rui was a bit awkward and confused , he really didn"t and couldn"t understand till yet what exactly happened to Su Wan and why did she asked such questions ?
Lin Yan tsked and then rubbed Lin Rui"s head " you stupid pig totter , Wan Wan was jealous "
Lin Rui who was about to get angry when his brother rubbed his head and called him a stupid pig totter like he called him when he was a toddler , stopped suddenly and as if he got his moment of eureka , his eyes suddenly cleared and he was finally able to see the light .
" but - but there is nothing between I and Luo Chenxi " said Lin Rui shyly , he couldn"t help but feel a little happy that Su Wan got jealous after seeing him and Luo Chenxi together .
" That"s what you and I know but Su Wan doesn"t " explained Lin Yan patiently " Women can be quite misleading sometimes , they might act as they don"t care but they do , haven"t you seen how mother used to get angry at father every time he helped a village woman ? Mother would say that she didn"t minded but each time it happened, she wouldn"t talk to father for days ? Su Wan is doing the same , she is acting like she isn"t bothered by Luo Chenxi hovering around you but she is infact bothered by it . "
" Then what should I do ?" Though Lin Rui was happy that Su Wan was angry at him because she got jealous and he even found her angry face a bit cute now that he knew exactly what happened but he was still in dilemma about how to get past this hurdle.
" Of course you have to think it on your own " said Lin Yan ruffling Lin Rui"s hair and walking out of his room " and yes , don"t go rushing in and bother her this late At night , she can be unkind when she wants to , its one of her many quirks that you don"t want to deal with "
Lin Rui"s whose hair was messed up even more than badly before was shocked , staring at his brother"s back he couldn"t help but complain - if only his brother told him this earlier then he would have not missed out on his wedding night - wait , don"t tell him , his brother did it on purpose ?
But as soon as this thought came in his head , he hurriedly pushed it away . His brother came to help him so late at night , there was no way that his brother would scheme against him like that .
Poor Lin Rui who had absolute faith in his brother"s kindness didn"t know that Lin Yan in fact did scheme against him .
Of course he was his brother but he was also Su Wan"s husband - and the fact that he would be having his wedding night after his younger brother - it has been bothering him from quite sometimes .
So he did in fact tried to rain on Lin Rui"s wedding night .
Lin Yan who returned back to his room humming a tune happily laid back on his mattress well at least he was able to intercept one of his brother , and would have his wedding night before him !
Ah , his pride as an elder brother that suffered a blow has been finally recovered !
