Chapter 248 Second Brother Gets Engaged Upon Return
“Dad…” Shen Feiwan walked over quickly.
“Just stand there.” Shen Mo stopped her, looking at Shen Feiwan with a stern gaze. “I’ve said I don’t need you to exchange your marriage for anything.”
Shen Feiwan obediently stopped. "I know, Dad. But marriage, I mean this kind of marriage in name only, means nothing to me. I don't care, I don't care at all."
Shen Mo frowned. "But you don't like Xiao Yan anymore."
“I have an ex-husband,” Shen Feiwan said, giving an example. “I didn’t like him either, but I still married him. It was just a temporary measure.”
Shen Mo shook his head, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepening. "This is something we, as your parents, failed to teach you properly. Marriage shouldn't be treated so lightly."
Shen Feiwan grinned and said, "That's called being open-minded. Anyway, I've already made up my mind."
As she spoke, she suddenly became serious, "Dad, wait for my second brother to come back. Once he's back, my mom and my eldest brother won't be far behind."
“But your decision is too arbitrary,” Shen Mo suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Shen Feiwan’s arm. “I’ll go to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan might not refuse to give me face. You don’t have to wrong yourself.”
Shen Feiwan looked down at her father's hand, where the veins were slightly bulging. "What if he doesn't sell?"
She slowly withdrew her hand. "The Zou family is at the height of its power and not so easy to deal with. Lin Xiaoyan said he would risk his life and fortune. You can't believe everything he says, but it's not all just bluffing either."
“Dad,” Shen Feiwan said with a smile, “I know what I’m doing, and I know my limits. Actually, I haven’t caused you any worry since I grew up and became more sensible, right?”
Shen Feiwan gently pushed Shen Mo's shoulder and led him towards the bedroom. "So you don't need to worry about it. As for Lin Xiaoyan, Uncle Lin hardly gets involved anymore. This is our own business now, Dad. Now, you can rest assured and get some rest."
Shen Mo turned to look at his daughter, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Despite being the youngest in her family, Shen Feiwan is the most opinionated, often leaving even her mother helpless.
Shen Mo is actually a very gentle person and doesn't like socializing. Now, after hearing Shen Feiwan's analysis, he is almost convinced.
“Actually, Xiao Yan is not bad either,” Shen Mo said in a final, conciliatory tone. “Perhaps you two really can reconcile and go back to how things were before.”
Shen Feiwan suddenly laughed out loud, her eyes curving slightly. "Alright, Dad, you don't need to worry about these things anymore. If Mom had come home first, she would have been more than happy for me to marry Lin Xiaoyan; she would have even brought out my household registration book. So what are you worried about? You don't need to worry about anything."
After watching Shen Mo return to his room, Shen Feiwan turned and walked to the coffee table, throwing the barbecue that Lin Xiaoyan had brought, along with its packaging, into the trash can.
Not long after I went upstairs, Lin Xiaoyan called.
Shen Feiwan stared at the caller ID for two seconds before answering, silently waiting for the other person to speak.
"Is the conversation over?" Lin Xiaoyan's voice came through the receiver, tinged with a hint of languor.
"Ah."
"Did the teacher give you a hard time?"
Shen Feiwan rolled her eyes, even though the other person couldn't see her. "Do you want to listen to what you're saying? That's my own father. Why would my own father make things difficult for me? Even if the whole world makes things difficult for me, my own father wouldn't make things difficult for me."
A low chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "You're so angry, how about I bring you some cooling food tomorrow?"
“I want to see my second brother,” Shen Feiwan said, emphasizing each word. “Please focus your attention on this matter.”
After she finished speaking, she simply hung up the phone.
However, less than two seconds after the call ended, the phone rang again, shrilly.
Shen Feiwan stared at the three words 'Lin Xiaoyan' that lit up on the screen, and impatiently swiped to answer the call. "What is it now?"
Lin Xiaoyan's voice remained gentle, yet carried an undeniable force: "Wanwan, you can't just hang up on me like that."
He paused, and the sound of papers turning over came through the receiver. "I haven't finished speaking yet, and you're being impolite. You can't do that after we get married."
Shen Feiwan chuckled and deliberately scratched the glass with her fingernails, making a noise. "That's just how I am. If you can't even stand this, then don't get married."
"Late night~"
"Lin Xiaoyan, what are you pretending for? If I were as obedient to you as other women, would you even give me a second glance? I was always like that before, didn't you complain that I lacked personality and didn't live a self-reliant life?"
The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, with only the faint sound of breathing remaining.
A few seconds later, Lin Xiaoyan's voice deepened, "There are no other women."
He seemed to be pacing back and forth, saying, "Only you, Wanwan. There is no one else in my heart."
Shen Feiwan laughed even harder, her laughter laced with sharp sarcasm, "Lin Xiaoyan, you're truly terrifying. You have no one else in your heart, yet you can sleep with anyone you want."
"That's in the past. After you left me, it never happened again."
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Feiwan finished speaking and then hung up the phone.
This time, the phone screen went completely dark; Lin Xiaoyan didn't call again.
Perhaps due to her pregnancy, Shen Feiwan has been feeling particularly tired lately.
When she woke up, she found it was already past nine o'clock. Strangely, Shen Mo didn't come to call her down for breakfast today.
After a quick wash, Shen Feiwan took the elevator downstairs.
Before the elevator reached the bottom, she heard Lin Xiaoyan's gentle voice mixed with Shen Mo's laughter.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, she saw Lin Xiaoyan bending down to pour tea for Shen Mo.
Upon seeing her arrive, Lin Xiaoyan immediately straightened up, his smile deepening.
"Wanwan's awake?" Lin Xiaoyan strode towards Shen Feiwan, his long legs taking only a few steps to reach her. "I brought you breakfast, it's keeping it warm in the thermos."
Shen Feiwan glanced at the wall clock. "Are you that free on a weekday?"
Lin Xiaoyan followed her unhurriedly. "I took leave to discuss our marriage with the teacher." He pulled out a dining chair, the movement as natural as if he had done it a thousand times.
"Oh?" Shen Feiwan slowly walked to the dining table. "So what did you come up with?"
“I want it to happen as soon as possible,” Lin Xiaoyan said, standing beside her, his shadow enveloping her, “but I hope even more that my teacher’s wife and Xu Bai will be there when we get married.”
He looked down at Shen Feiwan, "So I suggested that we get engaged after your second brother comes back."
Shen Feiwan nodded casually, "Okay, I have no objection."
But then she suddenly remembered something, and a playful smile appeared on her lips. "Does your mother know that you want to marry me? Does she agree?"
Lin Xiaoyan chuckled softly, "I'm the one who's going to marry you. Whether she agrees or not, you're still my Mrs. Lin."
Shen Feiwan said "Oh," and glanced at the thermos on the table. "Aren't you going to open it for me?"
Shen Mo frowned slightly. She felt that Shen Feiwan was deliberately making things difficult for Lin Xiaoyan, which was inappropriate. "Wanwan, you can drive by yourself. Don't act like a child."
Lin Xiaoyan had already unscrewed the thermos, and the rising steam blurred his glasses. "Teacher, I'm happy to spoil Wanwan."
He took out a spoon and placed it in front of Shen Feiwan, saying, "You can spoil her like a child."
Shen Feiwan curled her lips in disdain; she wanted to see how long he could hold out.
