Chapter 290 I'm not in the mood today
A hint of mockery flashed in Shen Feiwan's eyes, but she wore a charming smile on her face. "What, getting old and wanting children?"
"Hmm? What did you say?" Lin Xiaoyan narrowed his eyes, feigning displeasure, and lightly tapped the table with his fingertips, making a rhythmic sound. "Wanwan, do you think I'm very old?"
"Isn't it big?" Shen Feiwan raised an eyebrow. "If you marry me, wouldn't that be an old cow eating young grass?"
Lin Xiaoyan narrowed his eyes, then suddenly leaned closer to Shen Feiwan, "Whether she's old or not... I have no comment."
He lowered his voice and asked Shen Feiwan in her ear, "But I really want to know, baby, do you think your husband is big?"
Shen Feiwan twitched the corner of her mouth. "Big."
Lin Xiaoyan smiled with satisfaction and then asked, "Does my wife like it?"
Shen Feiwan continued with a fake smile, "What do you think?"
Lin Xiaoyan chuckled, his Adam's apple bobbing, "How about we do it twice more later?"
Shen Feiwan punched him on the shoulder, "You're a beast."
"Hiss—" Lin Xiaoyan frowned, then suddenly realized, "I forgot, you're on your period right now."
"Hurry up and eat yours." She pushed her plate towards him.
How many days does your period usually last?
"I am not talented, but I have abundant qi and blood, and I usually last seven days."
"It's a pity."
Lin Xiaoyan took a sip of milk and sighed meaningfully.
Shen Feiwan rolled her eyes at him. "Does my good health bother you? Can't you stand to see me doing well?"
"Nonsense. Of course, it's good to have enough blood and energy, and you'll recover faster after giving birth."
"Heh." Shen Feiwan chuckled softly, then stopped talking and focused on cutting the breakfast on her plate.
After breakfast, the two got into the car together.
Lin Xiaoyan said, "I'll take you home first. You should talk to your teacher about the wedding date first. I won't go home with you today." He glanced at his watch. "It's getting late. I need to get things settled with my teacher's wife as soon as possible."
"Okay, don't worry. I'll take care of things with my dad."
Shen Feiwan couldn't wait for Lin Xiaoyan to deal with her mother's matter immediately; she didn't even want to waste the time of taking her home.
But Lin Xiaoyan insisted on sending it, and she had no choice.
-
Four days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is also the Lunar New Year's Eve, and Shen Mo went to the supermarket early this morning to buy a batch of fresh ingredients.
Because Lin Xiaoyan said that Gu Mingxi would still have a chance to come back and celebrate the Lunar New Year with everyone, Shen Mo planned to cook a feast.
It was already noon when we got back from buying the groceries. The three of us grabbed a quick bite to eat, and then the real work began in the afternoon.
As evening approached, the kitchen was filled with enticing aromas, but there was still no news from Lin Xiaoyan.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Shen Mo couldn't help but urge Shen Feiwan.
"Wanwan, why don't you call Xiaoyan again and ask what's going on? Is your mother still able to come back today?"
Shen Feiwan was actually quite anxious. She agreed and then picked up her phone.
Just as I dialed Lin Xiaoyan's number, I heard Shen Xingyan, who was standing by the window, say, "His car is here!"
Looking through the floor-to-ceiling window, Shen Feiwan took a closer look and, sure enough, it was Lin Xiaoyan's car. She immediately hung up the phone.
Before the car even arrived, Shen Mo had already taken off his apron and rushed out in a few quick steps.
A moment later, the car finally stopped at the entrance.
Shen Feiwan and his family were already waiting in the front courtyard.
The tinted windows obstructed the view, making it impossible to see inside the car or how many people were inside.
However, the car door was quickly opened from the inside. Lin Xiaoyan got out of the car first, and then he helped someone out from inside. It was Gu Mingxi!
However, when Gu Mingxi's figure was fully revealed, everyone was stunned.
She has changed so much.
She had lost a lot of weight; her clothes, which used to fit her perfectly, now looked loose. Her face was as pale as paper, and the dark circles under her eyes were clearly visible. Her once bright eyes were now dull and lifeless.
Shen Mo's tears instantly welled up. He rushed forward, his voice trembling, and embraced his wife tightly. "Wife...you've suffered so much..."
His voice choked with emotion as he held his wife tightly, as if afraid she would disappear again.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Shen Feiwan stepped forward and gently embraced her parents. "Mom, it's good that you're back."
Shen Xingyan stood there, his lips pursed, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times, before finally turning to Lin Xiaoyan and asking, "Are there any of my mother's things left in the car?"
Lin Xiaoyan nodded slightly and bent down to take a handbag from inside the car.
After a moment, Shen Mo wiped away his tears and said, "Let's go back inside."
He looked at his two children beside him, his voice still choked with emotion, "Don't let your mother catch a cold. Come on, it's the Little New Year today, and your mother is coming home. We should celebrate properly."
As the group entered the house, Lin Xiaoyan lagged behind and gently took Shen Feiwan's hand.
He held Shen Feiwan's hands, looked down at her, and smiled. "Your teacher's wife is back. Are you happy?"
Shen Feiwan was indeed delighted that Gu Mingxi had returned safely.
She unusually took the initiative to hug Lin Xiaoyan's waist and buried her face in his chest.
Lin Xiaoyan was clearly surprised by the sudden hug. Just as he was about to tighten his arms to deepen the embrace, Shen Feiwan had already let go.
"You've worked hard," Shen Feiwan said softly.
Lin Xiaoyan smiled slightly. "It's good that you know how I feel." He raised his hand and gently tucked a strand of Shen Feiwan's wind-blown hair behind her ear. "Let's go inside, it's cold outside."
Shen Feiwan stood still, saying, "Today is the eve of the Lunar New Year. Shouldn't you go back and have dinner with Grandpa Lin?"
"Right!" Lin Xiaoyan suddenly reached out and flicked Shen Feiwan's nose. "I almost forgot. I was thinking of going in and sitting down for a while."
"Let's do it another day," Shen Feiwan said, looking into the room. "As you can see, my mother isn't feeling well."
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife." After saying that, Lin Xiaoyan suddenly leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against Shen Feiwan's ear as he asked ambiguously, "How many days is it today?"
Shen Feiwan frowned almost imperceptibly. "I can't remember, but it's not over yet." She said indifferently, "Besides, I'm not in the mood right now."
"No rush," Lin Xiaoyan chuckled, his fingertips caressing her wrist. "We have a long future ahead of us."
"Okay." Shen Feiwan withdrew her hand. "I'll take you."
It was called a farewell, but it was really just watching Lin Xiaoyan open the car door himself.
However, she still made a show of it until Lin Xiaoyan's car disappeared around the corner before she turned around and went back into the house.
Shen Feiwan walked into the house and found the living room empty, with only sounds coming from the kitchen.
She peeked out and saw that only Shen Xingyan was busy in the kitchen.
"Second Brother," she said as she went inside, "where are Dad and Mom?"
Shen Xingyan tied his apron without turning his head. "Mom went to take a shower, and Dad is getting her a change of clothes."
He awkwardly tied a bow. "Go to the living room, I need to cook."
Shen Feiwan raised an eyebrow. "Can you do that? You burned an egg when you tried to fry it last time."
“That was an accident,” Shen Xingyan said seriously. “I did look at the recipe beforehand this time.”
"Isn't the first step in making a recipe 'open the food delivery app'?" Shen Feiwan teased with a smile.
Shen Xingyan pretended to glare at her, but then his expression turned serious, and he said, "Mom's back now, is this marriage still a must?"
Shen Feiwan shrugged easily. "Doesn't this just prove that Lin Xiaoyan is capable, has connections, and resources? Besides, there's still the matter of my eldest brother that hasn't been resolved. You'd better dress smartly for the wedding to support me, although my second brother is already handsome enough."
Shen Xingyan was amused by her and shook his head helplessly.
He turned around, started the fire, and poured oil. The brother and sister tacitly avoided bringing up the topic again.
