Chapter 77 - Was She Wrong?

Su Wan had a hard time sleeping , or it would be right to say that she didn't sleep at all . The entire night she tossed and turned on her mattress , her eyes involuntarily drifting over to the closed door , expecting Lin Rui to come back but he didn't . Even after hours of waiting the door to her room remained shut and not a peep could be heard from outside . 

Lin Rui didn't return nor did he sent anyone to tell her not to wait for him , in fact he simply left her alone to brood over . 

Su Wan once again looked at the door of her room while moonlight sprinkled inside her room like fairy glitter , the night was beautiful and romantic but her heart was empty . She slowly sat back up straight , and ran her hand in her tangled locks . 

Did she say something wrong ? 

And did Lin Rui got really angry ? Su Wan suspected that he was really angry at her . Lin Rui's was totally different from his brother he wasn't loud and boisterous like Lin Chen and he didn't have a sharp tongue like Lin Yan either . He wasn't like Lin Jing either who would straight forwardly tell her with the least amount of words that why he was angry , as for Lin Yu , she was quite certain that if she made him angry , the poor little rabbit would just start crying and keep on crying until she coaxed him - but Lin Rui was calm a little too calm , and his anger was the same . If he got angry , he wouldn't tell the other person why exactly he was angry at them , instead he wouldn't say a thing- he was the silent type who wouldn't make a sound when he got angry , he was totally different from his brothers , who would make their bad mood known at once . 

" what do I do ?" Su Wan scratched her head , she was a woman who never ever tried to cajole a man , she had never even tried to coax her ex husband , if he got angry , she would just cook something tasty and be done with it . She was totally different from Su Lan , who wriggled her waist and clung on to her ex husband as she went ' brother in law are you angry with me ?' 

Su Wan couldn't do that and if she was being honest , she really didn't understand where she went wrong . 

Oh poor , Su Wan didn't know that Lin Rui was a man of pride , he never betrayed those whom he loved and respected . Even though their relationship had not escalated to the point where Lin Rui and Su Wan were deep in love , Lin Rui did respect his wife , she was his woman whom he need to keep safe and protect with his life and he was also grateful towards Su Wan because she was the reason why he could continue with his studies . 

An excellent woman like her , Lin Rui would be a complete stupid if he betrayed his marriage with her . And he also knew how to be grateful , Su Wan had helped him take a step forward to fulfil his dreams , would Lin Rui return such a favour by back stabbing his wife by cheating on her ? No ! 

Lin Rui was a good man , he knew and understood clearly whom he need to respect and take care of , and whom he need to chuck out of his life . 

The day he married Su Wan , she was his responsibility , his wife - it didn't matter to him that they had no love as the foundation of their marriage , because two person can fall in love even after getting married . 

He respected and admired Su Wan earnestly and Su Wan's questions had stomped on his earnest feelings , it would be surprising  if Lin Rui didn't get hurt because of her tactless questioning . 

Su Wan was upset and confused but Lin Rui was even more upset . After he was done throwing a tantrum , he silently returned back to his room . He didn't want his family to know the strife and struggle that arose between him and Su Wan after all they were husband and wife , their problems were their own and they shouldn't publicise it to their family . 

Just like Su Wan , Lin Rui too tossed and turned in his mattress . In the end he couldn't sleep at all , and sat up straight then headed to his broken study table and picked up a torn and battered copy of poetry . 

Lighting up the lamp in his room , Lin Rui started reading his book but even though he loved reading and liked comprising poems , right now , He couldn't even read a single word . All his attention was focused on Su Wan's angry and flushed face , truth be told he didn't want to leave her alone but he was afraid that if remained in her room , he or she might end up saying something that they might regret later on . Thus , he walked out intending to give time to both him and Su Wan to calm down , in case they end up hurting each other . 

Lin Rui knew that many wouldn't agree to his calm way of dealing with things but he knew that he was right . There was no way left for them to have a decent conversation , she was angry and he was getting angry too - if they ended up saying something in their anger , who knows what might happen to their relationship . 

This was better . 

His decision was correct . Right ? 

He knew he was correct but right now his heart couldn't help but churn at the thought of leaving Su Wan alone in her room , what if she got angry because he ignored her ? Or worse she started crying ? Because she did look closed to tears . 

Frustrated , Lin Rui closed his book and slammed it on the table , this was his first time getting so antsy , and he wasn't quite sure if he liked it . Should he go and talk again with her ? But what if she hasn't calmed down yet ? 

And she hurt him too as well , right ! But he was the husband- and Su Wan was still young she might make mistakes , he couldn't just drag this matter and create more trouble in their relationship right ? 

Lin Rui was confused , he wanted to talk to Su Wan again and coax her but he was also scared to see her angry and crying face , and there was the matter of his  feeling that were hurt as well . 

Should he or should he not talk with Su Wan ? Pondering over this question , Lin Rui started pacing in his room and when he had walked enough to cover the distance of great wall of China ( I'm exaggerating ) , there was a knock on his door .
