Chapter 372 - [Bonus ]
Su Wan was pretty stunned. Well, she had been rather shocked for a while. From knowing her husband was molested to realizing that he was nothing but a big cry baby who loves to act like a tsundere from time to time. He liked to keep up the pretense he was a strong man. But this was a whole new side of him. He was rushing at her with an expression of being abandoned like a poor puppy left at home, his face then lighting up like a Christmas tree when his owner returned home. But was it okay for him to rub his face in the crook of her shoulder like that? Did he forget that because of him, she hadn't touched any of her husbands and could only abstain herself because she was worried about him?
After all, there was no way she could say, 'hey, I would like to check up on Ah Yan'. While she was busy making love with one of the Lin brothers, right? That would be so embarrassing and such a big turn-off.
Su Wan felt a dampness on her shoulder, and something flashed in her eyes as she zeroed her suspicion-filled eyes at Lin Yan. "Are you... Wiping Your snot on my clothes?"
Lin Yan paused, and then she paused for a moment. A loud shriek resonated through the Lin family's courtyard. "YOU ARE? AREN'T YOU, YOU BRAT?!?!"
---
"Are you calm now?" said Su Wan as she sat on the bed with her leg crossed. She even used one of Lin Yan's favorite shirts to wipe his snot off her clothes. No, she wasn't feeling guilty about yelling at all. "Geez, this one was my favorite, it's hard to get the ombre effect, and Ah Yu had to experiment a lot to get it right. You just had to go and ruin it. I think I should tell Ah Yu that you just ruined his masterpiece. He will sort you out for good, ya know?"
"I am soddie," said Lin Yan, sounding stuffed up while blowing his nose in an old handkerchief. "I didn't want to do it, but then my nose started getting all itchy. I thought it was too embarrassing to let you see me in such a sorry state of mind. So I started destroying the evidence, but... I kind of got carried away and couldn't stop."
'Don't want to ruin your image?' mused Su Wan internally, 'is there any image for you to keep in front of me? I saw you all trembling and shaking a few days ago because of an old gaggy of a hag'.
Though Su Wan was mentally roasting Lin Yan, she was still in her 'support your emotionally traumatized husband' spirit. She didn't utter a peep that might offend him. Somehow one way or the other, "Well, you should stop getting ahead of yourself because someone can get seriously hurt if you continue on this path."
Lin Yan raised his head from his kneeling position and looked at Su Wan with a 'are you going to hurt me' expression while giving her the best of his puppy dog eyes.
Su Wan, who understood his plan, waved her hand as she shook off his suspicion regarding her. "I am not talking about me. I'm talking about Ah Yu. All my clothes are designed by him, aren't they? He is pretty serious about keeping these clothes neat and clean for as long as he can. I'm afraid he might find trouble with you once he finds out."
'Ah, so that's what she meant,' Lin Yan finally understood what Su Wan said. He nodded as he finally spoke, "Don't worry, I will do the laundry tomorrow."
'That's not what I was saying! You brat!'
However, no matter how angry Su Wan was from Lin Yan's straightforward attitude, she didn't say anything angry. Right now wasn't the time to discuss the dirty laundry problem, so she took a calming breath and looked at Lin Yan with a serious expression. "Alright, enough about that. Now can you tell me why you are all crying and sobbing like that? No, what I mean - what happened this time? Did you have a bad dream again?"
Lin Yan shook his head. Now that Su Wan knew about everything, he didn't see why he needed to hide such things from her. He inhaled sharply before retelling her what he had just seen and heard.
"Are you saying that you heard a baby cry at the top of your roof?" repeated Su Wan after she finished listening to what Lin Yan just told her. She threw her back and looked at the ceiling of Lin Yan's room. After fixing it up, there were no holes left in the roof and the support beams were reinforced and sturdy. Even the window was closed. But then again, this room didn't have any soundproofing, so it shouldn't be a surprise that he heard such a thing. "Hmm, let's go look then."
Lin Yan, who was kneeling as an apology, jumped up at once. All the blood in his face drained as he stared at Su Wan in a horrified trance. "What! Wait, wait, wait!! Wait a damn second! What do you mean by let's go look? Huh? Huh? What do you mean by it? Where are you taking me? On a ride? To where?"
Su Wan watched him bumbling like an idiot and almost tsked in annoyance. She really couldn't understand why Lin Yan was so scared of a crying baby if there was one. What can a baby do? Cry at them?
However, she was a patient wife. She would peacefully deal with her husband. She won't get angry because her husband was not in a stable condition. So she has to be really patient and treat him with all the love she has because she was a good wife. Right! "To the roof where else? We need to take care of the baby!" if there was one.
More importantly, she needed to take care of Lin Yan's fear.
However, Lin Yan didn't seem to like her idea. Instead of agreeing with her, he shook his head and kept repeating, "I won't. I won't. I won't."
In the end, "ARE YOU FUCKING GOING OR I SHALL DRAG YOU WITH ME?!" All the patience Su Wan had, was gone just like that in a poof.
