Lin Yan was really pleased with all the attention and worshipping gaze he was receiving from Su Wan, he didn't even care about those hateful gazes that his brothers were shooting his way, calling him sneaky under their breath. Yeah, he was sneaky but it wasn't like he was stopping anyone from acting sneaky alright? If they wanted they could have looked for the King Crabs as well, it wasn't like he purposely hid it from them that Su Wan was craving for it?
He coughed lightly and then like a gallant hero descending from his horse, he smiled at Su Wan. Like she was some damsel in distress and he was her shining knight.
The Lin brothers: ( ′～‵), seriously? All this for just king crabs?
Though the four brothers were disgruntled there was nothing they could do, all they knew was that for the past few months, Lin Yan has been beating in this game of gaining their wife's attention. First, he got her pregnant in just one shot and now this—— they were seriously being looked down upon!
Neither Su Wan nor Lin Yan cared about what the four of them thinking, Su Wan couldn't wait to eat the King crabs meat that she has been craving for so long and Lin Yan couldn't get enough of her gaze that seemed to be worshipping him, so he immediately brought out the large stock of king crabs that he has brought from the docks early in the morning and served them on the table.
Throughout the process of him serving the King crabs meat on the table, Su Wan's eyes were shining as she smiled and giggled like a young girl. This was great she was finally going to eat it!
Once the dishes were served, Su Wan didn't even wait for Lin Yan to tell her that she can start eating—— she began eating on her own. Every time she took a bite, her cheeks turned red with excitement as she moaned at the delicious taste.
The Lin brothers who were wearing scowls of disapproval, immediately cooled down like they were doused with cold water on a hot summer day. So, what if this gift was given to her by their second brother? As long as their wife was happy was there any need for them to be upset?
Once the Lin brothers thought things through clearly, they no longer glared at Lin Yan and soon the dining room fell into an atmosphere that was filled with laughter and smiles.
At the end of the meal, Lin Yan brought a large cake and the rest of the family wished Su Wan a happy life and safe motherhood before all of them bud a good night.
Shen Zizhen was also very tired, though he was a bit upset that the second brat that hanky panky stuff with his niece, he wasn't going to complain as long as he was able to get a grandniece whom he can pamper and dote on as much as he wanted since he missed Su Wan's childhood, he might as well make up for it with this child.
" Master," as he was on his way to his guest house where he lived with his wife, his guard stopped him. Shen Zizhen frowned at him and then tilted his head back, the moon was hanging at the top of their head and most probably it was the middle of the night, so why was this servant disturbing him in the middle of the night?
The guard must have understood what was going on in Shen Zizhen's mind with his experience because he immediately answered all the questions that he was yet to get out of his mouth. " this letter was given by third master, he asked me to send you this letter as soon as I can, and said that no matter, how busy you are, you should read it at once."
Shen Zizhen frowned, he took the letter from his guard and tore it open. Ever since he came to the Dong Tong village, he has been avoiding going back home despite his mother's urging, he was afraid that if he went back, he might end up saying something that will make his mother suspicious of him. And if she came to find out that he has hidden Su Wan for so long, she will first crack his spine and then break his legs.
Shen Zizhen thought that this was another letter from his mother to urge him back home but once he started reading his expression turned red and pale and then pale to blue. He snapped his head at his guard and then back at the letter as he flipped it around—— the writing indeed belonged to his third brother but the content of the letter —— it was so disbelieving that Shen Zizhen thought that it was written by his cat who was drunk on fruit wine!
What kind of sh*t this was? And what kind of sh*t his mother was pulling? And what was with his brother? Instead of stopping their mother, he was helping her pull this sh*t?
Have the two of them gone mad?
Then without saying another word to his guard, Shen Zizhen rushed towards his Eldest brother's room where the latter was sleeping but maybe the luck was on his side because Shen Junxi was taking a stroll in the courtyard after eating so much. But since Shen Zizhen was nervous, he jumped at his brother and hugged his waist.
Shen Junxi who was attacked from behind let out a yelp but was quickly shushed by Shen Zizhen. " stop yelling, it's me!"
Startled, Shen Junxi looked down at Shen Zizhen who was slowly climbing his body like a pole. He frowned in disapproval and said, " How many times have I said? Don't climb on me like this and more importantly—— don't you jump on me like that, it hurts."
" Yeah, Yeah… you can whine like a bitch later on but first look at this," Shen Zizhen who has crawled all the way up to Shen Junxi's neck flapped the letter open in front of his eyes.
Shen Junxi wanted to scold Shen Zizhen for talking like this to him but then his gaze fell on the letter and then he too snatched the letter from Shen Zizhen's hands and like his brother flipped it over and over before muttering in disbelief, " mother is adopting a new granddaughter? What kind of nonsense is this?"
