Chapter 276 - [Bonus ]

However, Qi Shuyan wasn"t the only one who was pondering over this matter. The Lin brothers who came rushing after hearing that a big brother came to look for their Wife from Qi Mei when the latter went to fetch warm water from the kitchen was also pondering about the same thing.

Lin Jing who was watching his wife chat with the guy whom he had no idea about with a beaming smile, the same smile that never failed to affect him, the one that made his entire body go taut, and couldn"t help but feel agitated. Why was he feeling agitated? Because that smile wasn"t directed at him, that smile belonged to him and him alone why was she giving it to someone else other than him?

His eyes burned with an unknown fire as he gazed at Su Wan point-blank, as he willed her to look at him. Willed her to look away from the pretty boy and look at him, just for a second only for a second. And she did, she turned around to look at him, Lin Jing was sure that she was surprised upon seeing the five of them together but then she looked at them with a polite smile before turning her attention back to the pretty boy.

Lin Jing clenched his fingers, his emotions were all over the place. They were pushing him to go to her, but Lin Jing was stubborn as well, he stayed put where he was - go there and do what? He was certain that he couldn"t make Su Wan smile like how the pretty boy was making her smile ( the two of them are just chatting casually about Fang Xiaolin, and Fang Kai is telling Su Wan how his sister has gotten pickier after eating her cooking nothing else). Lin Jing pursed his lips and scanned Fang Kai again, and he couldn"t help but think - what was so special about this guy, that Su Wan was paying attention to him? ( he is her guest, ?)

After examining Fang Kai properly Lin Jing came to the same conclusion that he was nothing but a pretty boy who was as frail as a chicken.? But what if Su Wan likes this kind of pretty boy? Who was easy to get along with? Lin Jing knew that he and his brothers were not easy to go along with, all of them were more difficult than the other one- even if they had separate wives they would have possibly driven them crazy, what more Su Wan had to take care of of all five of them.

Why will she take care of them? She wasn"t responsible for cleaning after them right? She was a woman with unique talents, and confidence - what"s more she was still a pure woman if last night"s incident was still weighing on her mind and she was now regretting her decision to stay with them and wanted to start afresh then - no, no, he shouldn"t be doubtful of Wan Wan, he knew her and he understood her well. She wasn"t someone who would just casually divorce them and move on just because of a small fight but - why was she smiling at the pretty boy!

Swallowing back a curse that nearly burst through his lips, Lin Jing caught hold of Lin Chen just in time before the latter gatecrashed in Su Wan and the pretty boy"s chat. He looked away from Su Wan before dragging Lin Chen away from the front hall while beckoning the rest. He might be upset and annoyed but he hadn"t gone stupid, he knew that if he let Lin Chen rush inside the front hall to break in between Su Wan and the pretty boy"s chat, his wife will surely get even more angrier.

Thus, battling the urge to drag Su Wan away from the guy and show her who was better for her between him and the pretty boy, he brought Lin Chen away. He was feeling a coldness in his heart that had nothing to do with the weather...but Lin Jing still resolutely dragged Lin Chen away and didn"t let him disrupt Su Wan.

A beat later he heard Su Wan"s husky laugh the guy told her something funny, something that made her smile - something that he could never do and Lin Jing"s annoyance morphed into irritation, he didn"t know who that pretty guy was but in regards to his crime of making his wife laugh like that Lin Jing wrote the guy"s name in the little book in his heart. He even underlined it with red!

" brother why did you stop me?" demanded Lin Chen while Lin Yu was still straining to look at Su Wan "that guy is flirting with our wife!"

"If you want to make Wan Wan angry even more then go, "said Lin Jing though he was grounding his teeth so hard that it was almost audible " they are just talking"

Lin Yu didn"t even have the decency to hide his displeasure as he glared at him " what"s there to talk with our wife? Isn"t he just eyeing her in d...disguise?"

"Alright don"t think too much," said Lin Rui stopping the two from going any further down the dark lane " can"t you see that the guy brought a basket full of meat? I"m sure he is Sister Xiaolin"s brother who sells meat in the village in winter because he can not travel to the town with all this snow. Don"t think too much, sister Xiaolin is our neighbour and her brother would surely not dig at our corner "

That was true but that didn"t mean that they weren"t jealous of him! Their wife wasn"t so much as talking with them and here he was joyously conversing with her - all laughs and giggles, don"t think they can"t hear it just because they were away from the hall!

" Elder brother and Ah Rui is right" Lin Yan nodded but before he could speak, Su Wan"s husky laugh interrupted him again. It took every single bit of the patience the brothers had not to turn around and warn the little pretty boy from coming to their house ever again " instead of worrying about the pre-young man we all should reflect on our actions and think about how to change the situation around, alright?"

"Alright" even though the brothers weren"t happy, they were sensible they knew they made a mistake and they needed to reflect on it. Thus,? all of them went back to their rooms to think about what they needed to do to earn Su Wan"s forgiveness but neither of them closed the door to their room to keep a check on the young man.

Carrying the basket of pork to the kitchen, Su Wan acted like she couldn"t feel Lin Jing"s eyes on her. She bid Fang Kai goodbye and thanked him for bringing the pork to her house, thanks to the heavy snow the villagers were locked down in their village until spring. With such a thick layer of snow covering the road, they hardly travelled to the town unless it was an emergency, if not for Fang Kai and Fang Xiaolin helping her on time she would have to spend the rest of the winter on fish and vegetables, it was a rarity for others but she ate it all the time, thus, Su Wan was getting bored of it.

This pork came right on time and Fang Kai became her good benefactor and friend after chatting with him for a while she realised that he was an outgoing young man who has seen a lot. His tales were simply fascinating to listen to and he was even a better businessman which might explain why Su Wan bought so much meat from him.

She has bought a pork stomach, lean meat and pig head as well as some big bones to stew soup. Warm stew with braised pig head meat was simply a delicacy in the winter, Su Wan couldn"t help but smack her lips in antic.i.p.ation. Everything was perfect? -except Lin Jing"s gaze that was drilling in her back. It was not a gaze that made a girl"s blood boil with pa.s.sion no, it was a piercing irritation filled scowl that was sending shivers down her body.

Now, what was wrong with him?
