" Wan Wan, you are awake early?"Lin Yan who was fixing the breakfast in the kitchen greeted her as usual. His smile was bright and he looked his cheery self but that was until his gaze drifted to her neck and his hands instantly stiffened, Lin Yan's smile faltered a little which made Su Wan a little guilty, she and Lin Yan had been together for most of the times yet he was the only one who was sort of ignored by her the most.
Su Wan strode inside and came to stand beside Lin Yan who was taking out a handful of chillies from a basket, her lips twitched as she looked at him in incredulity " don't tell me you are going to use that much chilli in the breakfast"
Lin Yan picked up the chopping board as he skillfully handled the chilli and started to busy around the kitchen" why not? It's getting hot, chillies will definitely help us get rid of the heat," he smiled dangerously as he poured the oil into the pan ", especially those who are suffering from extra heat"
Su Wan shook her head as she leaned against the counter and caught his wrist, stopping him from pouring all that spiciness in the pan " Alright, I think you have taught enough lesson to ah Chen, he is still suffering from all the spicy crayfish that you gave him, I don't want Ah Yu, to suffer from the same thing" she pondered for a moment before sighing a little " I am afraid that if you try to play a prank on him, you will be the one who will suffer the most, so stop for your own sake"
Lin Yan struggled for a moment before he put down all the chilli that he was holding in his hand and exhaled heavily " You are right with how cheeky that brat is, I am afraid that I will be the one suffering the most. However," he narrowed his eyes and poked Su Wan's forehead " I do have a bone to pick with you. I might not treat you as well as Ah Chen but I think I am the closest to you after him, why is it that I am the only one!" He clenched his fists and banged them on the counter " The only one who can't even have his wedding night with my wife even though it's going to be a year?"
Su Wan blinked her eyes and looked away, in all honesty, it wasn't her fault either. It wasn't as if she was the one refusing but her uncles who were keeping a close eye on her husbands… she was still surprised that she and Lin Yu could do all that without being interrupted " Calm down, one of these days we can consummate our wedding too-"
" which day exactly?" To her surprise, Lin Yan took out a tiny notebook and a brush from his pocket and with a serious expression looked at her " I would like to have everything prepared so, just give me an exact date!"
" Are you really that desperate?"
" After a year?" He tapped his chin as if he was seriously thinking about it before turning to look at her in a second" I will say, Yes!"
Su Wan's eyes twitched under Lin Yan's gaze, she really wanted to say that she was tired but then she thought about how he has been nothing but patient with her, she could only weaken her resolve as she answered his question " a week from now on"
His downcast expression told her that he was very dissatisfied with the answer but she simply waved her hand " My waist hurts a lot, it's one after the another, give me a break. If this goes on, my waist is gonna break- EEP!" She shrieked when Lin Yan suddenly poked her waist making her entire body tremble with pain " what are you trying to do!"
Lin Yan shrugged " just trying to check if you were speaking the truth or not," and when Su Wan jumped at him, holding him by the collar- only then he cleared his throat and said " alright I am just joking, alright? I noticed that you were upset about something that's why," he pried off her hands off his collar and softly asked " what's wrong, you don't look good"
Su Wan pursed her lips and looked down at her feet. She didn't want to share what Lin Yu said to her, she wasn't scared of having a child, she was just afraid of affecting her health! "it's like this- " even though she wanted to keep the thing to herself she still told Lin Yan because she wanted a second opinion and because he was the only one other than Lin Yu who knew about her past, she could freely talk with him " he then asked me to give him a child but when I said 'no' he said that I was afraid of having one but I don't! I just don't want to ruin my health!"
Her reasons were justified but Lin Yan who should have immediately agreed with her didn't say yes or no to her at once, instead he hesitated- yes, hesitated like he was trying to take care of her feelings before speaking anything. Seeing him like this Su Wan, frowned and stomped on his feet " just say what you want! Don't mince your words I am a big girl, I can take it"
Lin Yan sighed running his fingers through his hair " Well, I should have known that brat would find trouble with you"
" What do you mean?" Su Wan asked with a confused expression.
" I don't know whether you are afraid or not Wan Wan but I have often seen you reacting quite severely when it comes to having a child" he began slowly, she wanted to tell him that she had never done anything like that but then he raised his hands and interrupted her " I won't say that you are afraid of having a child, it's more like you avoid the entire thing subconsciously… you might not have noticed but you seem to be procrastinating a lot"
