Chapter 1435: Chapter 1436: Lin Wan is a Girl with a Very Good Personality
Lin Wan was momentarily at a loss for words, clicked her tongue, and sighed, “You’ve spoiled me since I was little. Whatever I wanted, you’d figure out a way to get it for me. My friends even thought you were my boyfriend, and when I told them you were my cousin, they didn’t believe me. In the end, you turned into the object of their fangirling. All my friends became your little admirers, constantly brainwashing me about how handsome you are, how amazing you are, how popular you are. Because of that, for a long time, I couldn’t look at guys my age without feeling like they were toads—none of them could compare to you. There was even a time when I worried about what I’d do if I couldn’t find anyone to marry. Sigh.”
Li Shengxiao’s deep eyes glanced at her, his expression relaxed and teasing as he slightly tilted his chin. “Are you trying to show off how outstanding and amazing your husband is, and that’s why you finally decided to settle down and get married?”
“I…” Lin Wan, being naturally shy and introverted, was rare to be teased by him like this, and her pretty face instantly flushed bright red. The rosy tint bloomed across her cheeks like a ripe peach. Fortunately, she’d become much more open after getting married. Once the brief heat faded from her face, she realized Li Shengxiao was deliberately teasing her. She cast him a small feminine glance of reproach, puffed up in frustration, and retorted, “I wasn’t saying that!”
Lin Teng burst into hearty laughter, chiming in to back up Li Shengxiao, “We all heard you praising Mo Qi. There’s nothing to be shy about when complimenting your own husband—it’s perfectly normal.”
Su Yi joined in, “Exactly. I mean it; Mo Qi is truly a good kid. From the first time you brought him back to meet us, I could tell he was a good match for you. Seeing you two together, I knew you’d have a happy and blissful future. Sure enough, after marrying him, he treats you even better than before—he puts up with your little moods without any bad habits of his own. Men like him are so rare nowadays. You really should thank Shengxiao; if it weren’t for your brother, you wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Mo Qi in the first place.”
Mo Qi happened to be one of Li Shengxiao’s close friends. He’d met Mo Qi while studying abroad. Later, when Lin Wan went abroad for her university studies, her school happened to be in the same city as Mo Qi. Li Shengxiao called his friend and asked him to take care of his little sister. Who would’ve thought, in the process of back-and-forth interactions, the two would end up catching each other’s eyes, and after going from an amusing love-hate dynamic to acknowledging their feelings, they finally walked into the halls of marriage. Their journey had been smooth yet not without its challenges.
Lin Wan’s face turned even redder, her snow-white earlobes flushing as she turned her head aside in embarrassment, sputtering, “You’re all teasing me—I’m ignoring you!”
“Haha.”
“Alright, alright, we won’t tease you anymore. Wanwan, turn back over and rest—your health is the priority now.”
“Don’t be mad at them, dear. Listen to Grandma and turn back, okay?” Madame Lin joined in to comfort her.
Lin Wan was just a young woman, embarrassed but unable to hold out under the coaxing of her elders. She soon quietly turned her head back around.
Still, having just been teased not long ago, she closed her eyes and refused to say another word.
Su Yi noticed her complexion, still pale and weak, with exhaustion showing faintly at her brows. She turned to Madam Lin and Lin Teng and suggested, “Honey, since Wanwan is fine now, why don’t you take Mom back home? The air at the hospital isn’t good—it’s not ideal for Mom to stay here for too long at her age. I’ll stay here to take care of Wanwan; you both go home and rest for now.”
Madame Lin’s health had always been frail, and in recent years, her weakened immune system had led to frequent minor ailments.
