Chapter 314: Chapter 314 Only fools rush to be at the forefront.
Lin Man’s feelings towards Si Chen were well-known to Tong Yao, but she didn’t expect that after all this ti, Lin Man was not only still harbouring feelings for Si Chen but even dared to show up on their doorstep, knowing full well he’s her cousin’s husband.
This was crossing the line.
Did she view Tong Yao, the wife, as rely a decorative object?
It appears that the brazen mistresses are tiless. People with no moral compass can exist in any era.
Looking at the fuming Tong Yao, Si Chen couldn’t help but find her absolutely adorable. His thumb gently brushed her cheeks as he seriously reassured her, "Yaoyao, I may have no control over Lin Man’s actions and thoughts, but rest assured, I despise people like her. I would never do anything to hurt you. I’m loyal to our family. Without you, there wouldn’t be a ho."
Between a husband and wife, nothing should be left unsaid. If speaking his mind would put Tong Yao at ease, Si Chen was more than willing to do so.
As for Lin Man, if she hadn’t shown up, Si Chen wouldn’t even rember that such a person existed in the world.
At his words, Tong Yao felt a little better. She had known for a long ti that Si Chen and Lin Man had nothing to do with each other. She was just a little jealous and wanted Si Chen to alleviate her fears.
No matter how strong a woman is, she softens in front of the man she loves.
She deliberately let out a humph with a stoic expression, "You better rember what you said. There’s no need to be polite to Lin Man next ti you see her. If she has the nerve to contact you, it ans she hasn’t given up. Give her an inch, and she would take a mile with no reservations, doing anything she can to get closer to you. She might even try to get close to Xiaohui first to get to you. Be careful."
Having seen this type of drama play out nurous tis on television, nothing surprises Tong Yao anymore. The fact that Lin Man found out about Si Chen from Si Xiaohui suggests that their relationship may not be usual. Anyone else in her place would have thought that they had sothing going on, so it’s not unreasonable for her to be suspicious.
There’s an old saying: always watch out for those who might try to hurt you. It’s necessary to guard against Lin Man. Next ti she sees Si Xiaohui, she’d have to find out where she stands.
She couldn’t tolerate anyone trying to tear apart her family.
Even if Si Chen didn’t have feelings for anyone else, she couldn’t stand the sight of a woman longing for her husband and causing her distress.
"Good foresight, you deserve praise." Si Chen’s eyes sparkled with laughter, his tone filled with adoration.
The feeling of being cared for washed over Si Chen. All the depressive feelings due to Lin Fengying dissipated. Seeing that Tong Yao was about to launch into another lecture, he pulled her into his arms and whispered into her ear.
"Yaoyao, you should know when n are most obedient. Should we change our location to continue our discussion, hmm?"
It was as if he had done it intentionally. His breath tickled her ears, making her shrink her neck. Looking up, she t his passionate gaze. Her heart pounded so hard it felt as though it would burst out of her chest.
She had fallen for his ruse without even realizing it.
There’s sothing indescribable about having a husband who’s a doctor. He had a thorough understanding of the human anatomy and knew how to stir feelings better than anyone else.
Their intimate session lasted until midnight. Tong Yao was drenched in sweat, too tired to move a single finger. All she rembered was Si Chen cleaning her sweat with a towel, tucking her in, and helping her find a comfortable position in his arms before she drifted off to sleep.
Sotis, she would wonder if Si Chen was a shape-shifter. He always seed so refined, yet his stamina was that of a warrior.
Look, he had enough energy to wake up early after their nightti activities. By the ti she woke up, Si Chen was already at work.
Tong Yao went to the store and called Si Boyi. The call was answered by Zhang Lijuan. Upon hearing that Lin Fengying had gone to see Si Weimin, she blurted out, "See, I knew it! She didn’t just go to take care of Xiaohui. I knew I was right."
As soon as the words slipped out, she realized her mistake, and quickly tried to explain, "Sister-in-law, don’t get
wrong, I just ant that our mother probably wanted to see my older brother, so she went over."
Luckily Si Boyi wasn’t there, otherwise he’d definitely start an argunt with her.
Tong Yao was no fool, she understood the implications in Zhang Lijuan’s words. If even Si Chen knew about Lin Fengying and Si Weimin, it was probably a rumor in their village. It’s just that no one dared discuss it openly anymore since Si Chen’s generation was grown up. Chances are, the village elders knew a thing or two.
At the very least, Chen Jinlan must have been aware of sothing. The two families were neighbors after all, how could sothing significant escape her attention?
But this matter happened so many years ago, the chance of it resurfacing was slim. And even if it did, it wouldn’t originate from a daughter-in-law’s mouth.
Only a fool would volunteer to stick their neck out.
Tong Yao pretended blissful ignorance and went along with Zhang Lijuan’s narrative, "That’s possible! Well, I need to go. Don’t forget to pass on the ssage to Boyi, so he doesn’t worry."
Seeing Tong Yao didn’t suspect anything, Zhang Lijuan sighed in relief and quickly agreed.
Zhang Lijuan then silently scolded Lin Fengying for her shalessness. Even a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass by its den.
anwhile, oblivious to her daughter-in-law’s rant, Lin Fengying had spent the morning apartnt hunting with Si Weimin. They finally found a courtyard house, but the rent was a bit steep, and there were no bathrooms. Otherwise, everything else was fine.
Si Xiaohui was very unsatisfied with the accommodation. Lin Fengying thought it would do as it was a vast improvent from their old ho.
Si Xiaohui grumbled about Lin Fengying’s authority. She had hoped to act spoiled and convince her uncle that they needed a better apartnt, but to her surprise, he didn’t side with her this ti.
She realized that whenever it ca to her mother, her uncle would never take her side.
Si Xiaohui kept her complaints to herself, her heart filled with resentnt toward Lin Fengying for coming and disrupting her peaceful life.
Having rented the house, Si Weimin asked Song Yu to help them move the things in, while he went to his mother-in-law’s house to pick up his wife.
Although she had stord off in a huff, Yuan Caizhen had been anxious every day Si Xiaohui was not sent off. Now that Si Weimin had rented an apartnt and had brought her sister-in-law ho, it provided a way out for Yuan Caizhen.
The eldest sister-in-law is to be revered like a mother. If her husband’s sister-in-law had co and she didn’t go ho, it would be very ill-mannered of her.
Persuaded by her mother and with the situation at ho changing, Yuan Caizhen finally decided to return ho with Si Weimin.
Si Weimin, who had booked a table at a restaurant at noon, decided to take his wife and sister-in-law out to eat.
This was the first ti Yuan Caizhen was eting the legendary elder sister-in-law. Although she didn’t like Si Xiaohui, she was rather enthusiastic about eting Lin Fengying. In her mind, Lin Fengying was an extraordinary woman, she had expected her to be a strong and powerful personality. But to her surprise, Lin Fengying was a shy and gentle woman. It must have been hard raising three children alone with such a personality, which made her respect Lin Fengying even more.
Every sentence followed by the word ’sister-in-law’ left Lin Fengying feeling uncomfortable.
