Chapter 131 - That’s Not What I Meant
Lin Yan flushed slightly " that's not what I meant , I don't want the two of you fighting because of her and you know that Wan Wan wouldn't want it too , be a little serious "
Lin Yu wasn't going to listen to his second brother's excuses and what nots , he knew that his brother was anticipating the passing of these two years just as much as they were , he also knew that as much as his brother despised the other gender , his second brother had a soft spot for Su Wan , over all his distrust and if and buts " wh..why ? I li..like her and so does th…third br..brother , wha..what's wrong if we wan..want her ?"
" wanting her is different but actually thinking about bringing her to bed together with the two of you , its not - no one's gonna accept it ! The second someone got a gist of it , do you know how much it will affect Wan Wan ?"
Lin Yu cocked an eyebrow as he looked at his second brother , though his brother looked stern and disgruntled at the suggestion he just put forward , Lin Yu wasn't going to back down , what was wrong if he wanted to enjoy his life together with his wife ?" Does se..second brot..brother think that I wi..will f..force Wa..wan Wan ? Beca..because if you do , you are wr..wrong , I wo..won't for..force her to do something th..that sh..she didn't want to . And as for what ot..others will say , we ar..are not exa..exactly living a life acc..according to societal dict..dictate , are we ? And you know wh..what seco..second br..brother - I will work hard so as to becom..become rich because what's unacceptable to no…normal men is merely a whim for the ric..rich " this was the harsh reality whether past or present , those who were rich got to dictate their life as they pleased and Lin Yu wasn't stupid enough to do something outrageous , that might harm Su Wan , instead he would work hard enough so that no one would dare to say a word against him or Su Wan or what they do behind closed doors . As long as Su Wan liked it , Lin Yu cared nothing about what others think , he was only restraining himself currently because he wasn't strong enough to protect Su Wan from being talked about. Once he make it to the top , then he wouldn't have to care about others at all .
He was going to make it not for himself but for his family because he had seen , heard and watched how selfish and ruthless people can be . For years they have made fun of his stuttering , his limp and everything that wasn't even under his control , so this time , he will work hard - hard enough to make sure that his family and his wife wouldn't have to go through what he has gone through , everyone might think he was too dark and gloomy or manipulative , but he knew his limits , if was really as manipulative as people took him as then Lin Che would have never made it out alive , his so called grandmother would have lost her life in some unfortunate accident , but he didn't do anything to harm anyone . Similarly , he won't harm Su Wan and definitely not harm Lin Chen , Lin Yu knew that he might be a manipulative , controlling little freak but he was a freak with limits.
Lin Yan at once understood that he had wronged his youngest brother , he should have thought about it before speaking his mind . He knew that his younger brothers were all good eggs , they won't do anything to hurt their own family . In his shock , he seemed to have spoken incorrectly and wronged Lin Yu " Ah Yu that's not what I meant , listen to me -"
However , Lin Yu was in no mood to listen to his second brother right now . Why ? Just because he was a teasing and controlling , did it mean that he will do something to hurt his wife or his family ? Lin Yu knew when to stop and when to let lose , he was smart enough to quit when necessary . It wasn't as if he was never going to show Su Wan his real self , he just wanted to prepare her mentally before she can take him , because what he wanted wasn't something that anyone would accept in just one glance , for Su Wan to take him on , he had to slowly make her get used to his antics before letting her see how much darkness and hurt he carried beneath his charming smile and if everyone considered him as a jerk for that - fine .
Lin Yan watched his brother go and suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable . Lin Yan shouldn't have jump jump on the conclusions right away he should have talked it out properly with Lin Yu before accusing him of something so unforgivable , but after he saw that Lin Yu was actually hiding something like this from him , Lin Yan couldn't help but jump the gun .
He sighed rubbing his temple , alright he might as well ask for forgiveness from Lin Yu once the latter was calmed down enough .
That night dinner was a subdued event , Lin Yan wasn't in mood of cooking something extravagant so he stir fried some vegetables and cooked some porridge . Since the business at the restaurant was going better and better each day , there were less and less leftover at the restaurant , especially today with the two new dishes being introduced in the restaurant , Lin Yan for the first time saw that the dock workers were really this close to fighting with each other , in the end he had to work overtime and cook some extra beef gravy puffs for the dock workers to take those puff back home .
Lin Chen was now used to eating lavishly , seeing the simple porridge and stir fried vegetables without a single piece of meat , his mood took even a deeper turn , first he had to apologise for something he hadn't done now this , however , Lin Chen wasn't unreasonable , he didn't grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and knew that he should be grateful to every single grain of rice that was in his bowl , so no matter how unwilling he was he finished his porridge without even the slightest bit if grievance .
If Lin Chen didn't make a fuss , there was no way the other three would make a fuss either .in Rui ate his meal silently and gracefully , while Lin Jing ate silently , occasionally his gaze would drift over to Lin Yan and Lin Yu who for some reason were avoiding each other gazes . But he didn't want to interfere in Lin Yan 's matter compared to Lin Chen , Lin Yan was much more smart , he knew that if something was off between Lin Yan and Lin Yu , the two of them will sort it out among themselves , he doesn't need to find trouble like in the case of Lin Chen who was too stubborn to admit his wrong ( Lin Chen : I'm wronged ! I'm telling you have wronged me greatly eldest brother !)
