Shrewd wife of Lin brothers,Chapter 370 - [Bonus ] - Read free novels online

The mysterious package turned out to be a complete flop. It had nothing but a single hairpin but what was surprising was that the hairpin seemed to be made out of pure gold with rubies encrusted in it. It was really a good looking hairpin but Su Wan found it tacky, she took the hairpin to a dealer and exchanged it for some silver.

" were you jealous ?" teased Lin Chen with his arms crossed behind his head, compared to Lin Yan who was totally fine with whatever Su Wan did with the hairpin, Lin Chen couldn't help but tease her a bit.

" isn't that obvious ?" answered Su Wan she didn't even blink as she put the money in her pouch " you all belong to me, that means I am the only one who gets to buy you such presents - no one else is allowed to buy such personal items for you all. If I see you using such things that you got from others whether it's a hairpin or a handkerchief I will have you repudiated. "

Lin Chen only wanted to tease his wife but got threatened with divorce "..."!!?

" don't worry, I had no intention of wearing that hairpin.. It was so tacky and had no fashion sense at all. Even Ah Yu who was five had more fashion sense than the person who brought that hairpin" said Lin Yan, buttering up Su Wan with ease.

" that's right, a hairpin with gold and rubies - that's such a stupid colour combination, not at all according to your aesthetic vibes" conceded Su Wan though she was indeed upset with someone sending gifts to her husband, the majority of her reason for selling that hairpin was to avoid any future troubles with Luo Xin. She was sure that if she got greedy and let Lin Yan bring the hairpin home then it might bring unnecessary trouble in the future. It was better to avoid trouble by selling the hairpin as fast as they could, so Su Wan didn't even think twice before selling it for just twenty or so taels.

" that girl is pretty smart," said Luo Xin who came out of her house to keep an eye on Lin Yan " seriously that brat, what's so bad about being my lover? If he stayed with me, he just needed to stay silently at home and wait for me to love him and in return, he would have gotten everything, now look at him. Slaving himself away like a fool, that he is, isn't that right, Zimo?"

Fang Zimo who was kneeling in front of his mistress, licking her toes could only make some incomprehensible noise. Though it sounded as if he was agreeing with her no one could see the harsh glint in his eyes as he glared at the floor, ' be your little lover? If I had the money and my family wasn't in need of money then I too would have never degraded myself to entertaining you, what little lover! Being with you was like sleeping together with a pile of dung left for years on road! Dirty and smelly !'

But no matter how much Fang Zimo cursed Luo Xin in his head, he kept his expression neutral. Maybe this was the only reason he was able to stay alive in the Luo house and wasn't buried in the backyard with the rest of the undisciplined slaves who couldn't keep check of themselves and showed their real expression on their faces.

" you are right! That's what I was saying !" sighed Luo Xin as she leaned back on the chair of her personal room in the restaurant next to pawn shop, her gaze locked on Lin Yan who was smiling at something Su Wan said to him. Her eyes narrowed as she kicked away Fang Zimo who sensibly left the room " what bad slave, looks like mistress have been too lenient on you, ne?"

-

Lin Yan turned in his bed and pulled his pillow over his head. He never was scared of the dark - well, maybe a little bit but that fear only became worse with Luo Xin's return. Su Wan did say that she would sleep with him tonight just like she did before but looking at the dark circles that were all due to her keeping a check on him all night, Lin Yan couldn't bring himself to say that ' yeah, you can sleep on the chair like before and I will sleep on the bed' it made him feel really guilty.

So, he refused her offer and asked her to return to her room.

And now he wished he didn't, it was like super stupid of him. So, what if his body started feeling nauseous every time he touched Su Wan at least he wouldn't get red all over his body because of his psychological trauma with Su Wan, maybe if he sucked it up and just forced nausea down, then he wouldn't be awake at this hour.

His fear of the dark wasn't all because of Luo Xin, it also had to do with his third brother who thought it was a funny prank to leave him alone in a graveyard at night. It was a childish little game when he was eight and Lin Chen was six and a half but it was a bit traumatic for him... He didn't like it. And nor did he like the howls of the dogs or the scary ghost stories and right now - the dogs were howling just like that night and the trees were rustling outside like the stories he heard. His nerves were stretching like the string of a bow and anytime now he would snap like that string.

Why was the night so dark? Why couldn't it be a bit more beautiful with a moon shining over the horizon and lighting up the surrounding? Such a horrible night, he wished it would pass as soon as it could and if not he should at least fall asleep, hopefully. It has been a long day and Lin Yan didn't get a chance to lie down even for a single minute. But - sleep wouldn't just come! He desperately wanted to sleep but he couldn't fall asleep, no matter how much he tossed and turned and the rustling of the leaves was really annoying -

*sob*

Lin Yan sat up. Glaring at his closed window, please let it be his imagination, please.

*sob*

It wasn't his imagination, the voice of a child or more like a sobbing child was coming through his window. It was creepy and waifish - Lin Yan shivered and hugged his knees.

Then he waited and waited, and the cry of the child became even louder and so did the howls of the dogs.
