Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers

Chapter 361 - What Happened Yan?

please put your hands together for my new editor Tanalei !!

There was no response from the door after Lin Yan spoke. He thought that maybe Su Wan had left; he was wondering whether she had believed him when he heard the churn of the windowpane of his window open. Shit. Shit. Shit! It seemed as if his cover was going to be blown! He immediately launched himself inside his bedsheet, not wanting to look at Su Wan at all.

There was a loud thump, and Su Wan jumped inside his room. The moonlight illuminated her petite frame, making her look like some sort of enchanting devil. "What are you doing? You can\'t jump inside like that, especially when you are wearing a skirt! What if somebody sees you acting so sneaky? What will they think?"

"It\'s not like I am going to steal anything," said Su Wan straightening up as she dusted off the dirt on her skirt, "and I wouldn\'t have to jump in like this if you didn\'t refuse to open the door."

"There was no need for me to open the door because you shouldn\'t be here right now," retorted Lin Yan, not wanting to back down at all.

"I don\'t think I can sleep when my husband screamed like he was getting murdered and everything, coupled with the fact that there were loud bangs and booms of something breaking, I think I have the right to barge inside your room," said Su Wan. She didn\'t move away from the window where she entered, but she did look around the room.

Lin Yan had no retort for Su Wan. He knew there was nothing he could say to her, and he was running out of excuses. He held on to the petty arrogance he used whenever he felt cornered, "Well, you can say whatever you want, but this is not how a woman should behave. Now that you have seen that I\'m fine, you can leave."

He was mentally beating himself up for speaking to Su Wan this way, but being ignored by her was a lot better than her knowing about his past. That would be downright mortifying for him.

"Oh yeah?" said Su Wan sounding totally unconvinced.

"How did you even hear me?" blurted Lin Yan, trying to sound suspicious, "are you trying to keep an eye on me? You don\'t trust me, is that it?"

"I was going to the outhouse," answered Su Wan with an eye roll as she crossed her arms, "I think you need to know that no one, not even you, would like it. If someone screams bloody murder while holding a full bladder and rushing to the outhouse. I nearly lost control of my bladder. Do you know that?"

"I wasn\'t screaming bloody murder, alright," protested Lin Yan.

"I beg to differ."

Lin Yan sighed. Right now, he wanted his space, a few moments to himself to cry or scream or do whatever to ease his rapidly beating heart. Even though he knew it was a total douchebag move, he still said it. "You should leave Wan Wan, I don\'t think your uncle would appreciate you coming here, and honestly, I don\'t want to be buried in snow like Ah Chen."

"I would like to tell you that my uncle doesn\'t control me. As for going back, I\'m not really convinced by your explanation, Yan," said Su Wan. Her firm gaze surveyed him like an interrogator would examine a criminal.

"Well, that\'s too bad because I don\'t see the point of explaining anything to you. I\'m your husband, and you are my wife, not the other way round, alright? I don\'t see a point why I need to explain anything to you," feeling cornered, Lin Yan couldn\'t help but shoot back in response. But this time, he made the wrong move. Su Wan\'s eyes narrowed as the air around her ever so subtly changed.

She stalked over to him like a predator on the prowl.

Suddenly, Lin Yan felt as if he was being caged. He felt vulnerable. He didn\'t know why he felt like this. He has been alone with Su Wan, but her temper was mild, and she was willing to be patient with him, but right now, she looked a bit dangerous. Honestly, he wanted to look away, but Su Wan was looking into his eyes, and suddenly Lin Yan could not bring himself to break the gaze.

Su Wan leaned closer. A rational voice in his head told him to cover himself up so that he didn\'t have to look into her eyes, but that voice was quickly smothered by her eyes. They were mesmerizing and pitch dark; he could feel their dominance asserting upon him. Without him realizing, his lips parted like Su Wan was sucking away his soul, and he was willing to let her have it.

"What\'s going on, Yan?" asked Su Wan, her voice low and soft.

"I had a nightmare just now." Lin Yan responded, surprised he did so unconsciously. \'No, wait? What was happening? Why did he reply?\' Lin Yan thought to himself; he didn\'t know why he instantly replied. But he could feel his body slowly inching closer to Su Wan. Like she was casting a magical pull on his body that he couldn\'t defy, he wanted to tell her to leave him alone. Or, more likely, bite his tongue off before he spilled all his secrets. But he couldn\'t; instead, he simply kept looking her in the eye. Like she had an undeniable pull that he couldn\'t defy.

Su Wan didn\'t change her tone as she continued, "What kind of nightmare, Yan?" When Lin Yan heard this question, he knew he was a lost cause. He knew that he would do just about anything for her if she continued to ask him in that voice. It was warm and soothing, but at the same time, it resonated with power and dominance.. Something he never thought Su Wan had in her, why didn\'t he know that she was more dominant than him? Why was he submitting to her? How was she making him submit to her? Or maybe, he wanted her to make him submit.
