Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 346 - [Bonus ] Achoo


" achoo" Su Wan who was braving her way through the snow sneezed she didn't know why she sneezed. It wasn't as if she was feeling cold with all the jackets and cloaks that her uncle piled on top of her body, she resembled a tiny bear with a round body. There was no way that she would feel cold! In fact, she was feeling a bit too hot after walking in so many jackets and cloaks!

" See I told you, Wan Wan," said Shen Junxi in a chastising voice as he hurriedly wrapped another scarf in Su Wan's cold-resistant line of defence " there was no need for you to come out and see this brat off to the academy! Wasn't I going in your place, this much was enough... Wasn't it ?" he asked eyeing Lin Rui with threats lined in his glare daring him to say a 'no'. 

Lin Rui who was a realistic person with a very deep sense of keeping his life intact for the sake of wanting to see his future children, immediately nodded his head not daring to refuse at all " that's right Wan Wan, there was no need for you to follow me to the academy. It's too much of a trouble, with elder brother and uncle in law, I would be fine. As for you, the thought alone is enough"

Su Wan shook her head, she too noticed her overprotective uncle glaring at Lin Rui but she never let anyone dictate her life.  She wanted to go, so she would go no matter what anyone said, end of the story " I know but I want to go with you.  Once you are admitted to the academy you will only be able to return once in a while, so I might as well spend some extra time with you"

The Xuan academy was fairly strict, like the schools in the modern world, it functioned for five days a week with the weekend off. Apart from those two days, no other break was given except some major holidays and new year because of this many scholars stayed in the rented apartment in the town and for the poorer ones stayed in the dormitory.  The classes began the first thing in the morning around six and lasted till the end of the night that was to say around nine or sometimes ten, which meant that even if those who stayed closer to the town could rarely come back home because of their packed schedule! And even if they returned home, they could only stay one night at home and then rush back to the academy. Most students weren't willing to do this up-down and found it a lot taxing so they stayed at the town all year long and only returned home when they got holidays with more than five days.

Su Wan now shared a deep connection with both Lin Jing and Lin Rui at least deeper than the others, and she knew that she would miss Lin Rui a lot now that the latter was going to leave the house. Though she loved all her husbands the same, Lin Rui was kind of her favourite with his gentle temperament and gave her a ' Warm' feeling whenever he was around. 

The others were either too mature or too naive, or hyperactive. 

Seeing her downcast expression everyone felt bad, Lin Jing wanted to coax her but he just as he made a move, Shen Junxi glared at him with a gaze that left him speechless. He can't even get close to his wife to coax her now, is that it? 

Shen Junxi didn't like the idea of his niece depending on these brats, though they were nice to her now - they might change in the future. His wife said that they were good men but he begged to disagree, he has seen many ' good men ' derailing their marriage when they found someone more beautiful and good looking especially when they all shared one wife. 

A man would always be a man and Shen Junxi was a man as well and he understood men more better than women who were emotional fools. They might be kind to his niece now when they had nothing but would they still be kind to her after they made it big and became successful? Would a bunch of successful men be willing to share the same woman? Will their ego allow it? 

Shen Junxi didn't believe it just like Yu Xuan he had seen many scholars who left their wives behind, many successful businessmen abandoned their shared wives. So, he was full of doubts regarding them, yes he did admit that were the best thing that could have happened to Su Wan who was in dire need but for how long? 

He didn't believe them blindly and didn't like the trust his niece placed in them but if she likes these husbands of hers, he will play along as long as she wanted and when they betray her, he will the first to hold her up and break their legs! 

" you brat you better come back on weekends!" growled Shen Junxi, not liking having another of these brats around his niece but that's what she liked so he had to play the role of good uncle "don't make my Wan Wan upset"

"I am not upset uncle," said Su Wan hurriedly, she didn't want Lin Rui to be buried in the snow just like Lin Chen. Though the burly Lin Chen could withstand it, most likely the frail Lin Rui might not be able to withstand that " I will just miss him a bit but I understand that he needs to work hard and study to fulfil his dreams"

Shen Junxi's heart ached, his niece was once wilful and was so stubborn but now she was suppressing her desires because of a brat! 

( Su Wan: No, I'm not!)

" I will return back every weekend, as long as I can"  promised Lin Rui he noticed that Shen Junxi didn't look happy with Su Wan supporting him, so he immediately agreed. Though Su Wan was understanding, her Uncle could be really..m childish?

Shen Junxi the childish uncle "...." okay so you have a death wish?
