Shrewd Wife Of Lin Brothers-Chapter 711: A new business

"I was thinking about it but then I thought that I shouldn't go for a mile when he is handing over an inch," Su Wan shrugged as she picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui didn't take a bite of the water chestnuts at once instead he pondered over a bit and then picked up chopsticks before asking, " Will you be fine? Though the young master looks like he has decent character, he is rather headstrong, if he doesn't get what he wants then he will make a loud fuss." 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

Fei Qinfan was indeed a decent scum but in the end he a scum was just a scum, he didn't fear his parents nor did he fear his elder brother as for Lord Fei, he has pampered this nephew of his a lot given that he was the youngest son of the Empress whom he adored. So, Fei Qinfan wasn't someone who would calmly take a loss, when Lin Rui was in the capital he had heard all about Fei Qinfan and his scummy antics, he not only sent a woman with unmentionable diseases in the bed of the son of the second concubine, he even chopped the hand of his rival's when the latter tried to flirt with his fiancée, correction… ex-fiancée.

Su Wan wasn't worried, she nonchalantly replied in a casual voice, " There is no need for you to worry, I know what I am doing, I wouldn't have taken on this deal if I wasn't sure that I will be able to fulfil it."

Lin Rui knew that his wife would never take a job about which she wasn't completely hundred per cent sure, so he nodded with a smile as he took a bite of his meal. His little wife always had a plan and he does not need to worry about her failing at all, she was very smart after all.

However, he only took a few bites of the water chestnuts and then turned to look at Su Wan with raised brows as he asked, " Don't you think buying me these water chestnuts after selling me to the young master is rather cheap?"

Su Wan glared at him with a slightly annoyed expression. " I am putting my trust in you."

" Is that so?" Lin Rui chuckled before he took her hands in his and said with a hint of coaxing. " If you are putting your trust in me how about letting me sleep with you tonight? It has been weeks since I held you in my arms, instead of these chestnuts I do better if I have you with me."

She rolled her eyes at him before leaning over and smiling as she held his arm and with a hint of coquettishness said, " Ah Rui, I know that you are holding back, you can come to see me tonight but we are only cuddling, all right? I don't want to make our child uncomfortable."

Only cuddling…

He was expecting to get a kiss at the least but looks like that will be impossible. Lin Rui was at a loss and didn't know what to say, he was being pressurised for getting a good rank in the elementary scholar exams and in return he was only getting a cuddle.

But when he looked down at Su Wan's pregnant belly, he did not get angry on the other hand, his eyes softened as he said, "It's all right, I was only teasing you... I am afraid that I will squeeze you and the little princess, so sleep by yourself."

This time it was Su Wan's turn to be speechless she leaned away from Lin Rui and then kicked him on the shin lightly as she said, " You are really something, now you have learned how to tease me?"

Lin Rui did not say anything instead he silently took a bite of his chestnuts, a smile playing on his lips. Seeing that he was ignoring her now, Su Wan snatched the bowl from him and said, " Are you really going to be like this?"

" So what do you want me to be like, wife?" asked Lin Rui as he turned his waist around and then placed his elbow on his table before leaning his head on the back of his hand. " Should I act as a hooligan and have my way with you? I did not know that you had such a taste, but of course, if you want that… I am willing to do that." He tugged at Su Wan's sleeves such that she was leaning close to him. " The only thing we need to make sure is whether or not you can take me acting like a hooligan."

Su Wan snatched her hand free from him and puffed her cheeks. " You…You all have learned all bad things, this is not how I raised you all."

" Hmm, that's right," Lin Rui conceded before he swiftly added, " It's just that when you are around me I want to do bad things with you… I am not at fault as well. My beautiful wife is sitting in front of me and I have to keep my hands away from her, it really is hard." As he spoke his gaze fell on the small swell of Su Wan's belly and he placed his hand on the bump. " You better be filial to your father Rui, I am being so kind to your mother because of you."

"As if you can ever be unkind to me," huffed Su Wan before she took Lin Rui's arm and immediately changed the topic, " I am thinking of starting a business at the fief where we are going in a few weeks, won't you help me, husband? "

Since she has to work hard for the fief in the south, she might as well come up with various ideas to help with its economy. Only then she will be able to act as a proper governess.

Lin Rui looked at Su Wan with a helpless expression, whenever she wanted something she would call him husband and when she was done she would just call him with Ah Rui and be done with it. However, he has never been disgusted by her actions, if anything he found her even more adorable, his smile deepened and he asked, " What kind of business are you thinking of doing there?"
