Author"s warning: Book will take a dark turn from Vol 2 might get even darker by Vol 3 drop if you hate dark romance.

When Mother Lin cried, Father Lin hugged her even tighter he kept whispering in her ears as he rubbed her back.? The Lin brothers watched their parents as one cried while the other smilingly coaxed the other, seeing their reunion even they couldn"t stop their tears anymore and immediately rushed forward embracing their parents.

Su Wan watched the scene in front of her and suddenly felt a little envious of Mother Lin, her mother in law was really lucky. Though she was poor and suffered a lot - she still had a husband who loved her a lot and five sons who were filial and loving towards her. As a woman, she had everything, while she on the other hand - Su Wan took a deep breath, though she always acted as if her divorce never mattered to her, that she was strong and resilient.

But in the end, she was a woman, no matter how strong she was. She still wanted to be pampered and spoiled - she might have it all now but the scars on her heart were yet to heal. Her forgotten youth that she once lost will never return and nor will the innocence with which she once trusted a man completely with her heart. ( *she trusts her husbands but not blindly, her trust is calculative )

Maybe if she cleaned her dog eyes properly before marrying w.a.n.g Tao then maybe she wouldn"t have so many regrets.

" Sister " a soft hand patted her cheek, wrenching her out of her negative thoughts. Su Wan looked down at Qi Zhi was looking at her with his peach blossom eyes " why are you not going there ?"He asked pointing to the group of people who were hugging each other.

Su Wan smiled then knocked his forehead with her finger " you little boy, you want me to trespa.s.s on something so personal?"?????????ѵ??. ?o?

Su Wan was envious but she wasn"t jealous and upset, she knew how important this moment was for Mother Lin. She as a stranger couldn"t pry at this moment, she didn"t know Father Lin and she wasn"t close to him either. She appreciated and respected him but that was all, she couldn"t bring herself to cry at his return.

Yes, she was touched but she was someone who had always kept people especially those whom she didn"t know much about at arm"s length.

As a child, she had never felt or seen the so-called " father"s love ". Her father was a coward, philanderer and promiscuous man and the original host"s father wasn"t anything different, so despite all her politeness and smiles, she was a little awkward and distant with Father Lin. Having grown up without a father though her father was still alive and well, Su Wan had a subtle trace of suspicion and doubts regarding the word " Father ", her suspicions were nothing but the paranoia that triggered her trauma. Nothing else.

She knew she should be happy for her husbands and she was, she knew that Father Lin was nothing like her father or the original owner"s father but the knot in her heart wasn"t that easy to resolve. The reason her mother killed herself was because of her " father ", thus, even with all the good examples and everything - Su Wan couldn"t let go of her bias beliefs.

Thus, even though she was more than overjoyed at Father Lin"s reunion with her husbands and mother in law, she couldn"t bring herself to " cry tears of joy ", and if she really tried to do that - she would appear to be really fake, and she might as well be called heartless than being called fake.

The family hugged each other crying tears of joy, everyone was teary-eyed all except Su Wan. However, the Lin family was so overcome with happiness that they didn"t pay any attention to Su Wan"s bare face - They already knew that Su Wan wasn"t the type of woman who cried so the sight of her softly smiling at them with a doting gaze was something that they already expected.

Lin Chen who was still clinging to his father"s back, blushed furiously right now he lost himself for a moment and cried like a baby while he clutched on his father like a Koala. How embarra.s.sing, his wife saw him sobbing like a baby!

To avoid embarra.s.sment, he hurriedly tugged at Father Lin"s sleeves and brought him to Su Wan who was standing next to the front gate " Father, look this is my wife isn"t she pretty? I was the one who liked her first - my second brother was all set to bring that dark-faced woman Xiao Qing to our house. Humph, eldest sister said one word of praise for that woman and second brother was ready to marry that woman as our wife- Blegh, father, you have already seen that dark-faced woman don"t you think that she is like a toad wanting to eat swan"s? meat ?"

Lin Chen was so excited to avoid the embarra.s.sment that he didn"t even have the slightest bit of qualms in selling his second brother out.

Father Lin was amused while Mother Lin simply shook her head, there it was her third son once again dug a pit for her second son to fall.? Sure enough, after listening to Lin Chen"s words, Su Wan c.o.c.ked a brow at Lin Yan who shuddered uncontrollably - he furiously glared at his stupid brother for selling him out .? What was the matter with this idiot? ? Lin Yan already knew that after crying like that this selfish brat must be feeling embarra.s.sed - but there was no need to avoid embarra.s.sment by retelling this incident !

There were so many incidents he could have brought up was it really necessary for this brat to pit him? He was his second brother!

" Wan Wan listen to me - that"s not how things are " Though Lin Yan cursed Lin Chen furiously in his mind , he still rushed to extinguish the fire that was ignited because of this brat"s words " I didn"t agree because I liked her it was all because eldest sister said that she was good at housework and was strong and st.u.r.dy - "

" Oh, so you despise me because I"m not strong and st.u.r.dy? Ah Yan I didn"t know your tastes were this …. Heavy " said Su Wan spitefully before turning around and looking at her Father in law, though she was a bit hesitant - she still treated her father in law with courtesy " Father in law, come inside - I will go and heat some water for you and the kids "

Then she went inside the house with a swing of her waist, but not before darting a disdainful glare at Lin Yan.
