" Okay I will go first " Su Wan didn't want to waster another second in reconciling with Lin Rui thus she didn't insist on her the first you , no first you , process instead she took a derp breath then with a flushed face she said " I - I am sorry , about last night . I shouldn't have gotten angry at you , it wasn't even your fault .. I was just a little angry - I - I don't like seeing another woman around you "

Once she was done confessing , her face blushed even more so much that she resembled a lovely cooked lobster . Not wanting Lin Rui to look at such an appearance of hers , Su Wan let go of his hands and covered her face with her hands .

Seeing her blushing appearance , Lin Rui found her even more cute . He chuckled , his deep and gentle laughter echoing around the courtyard .

" Don't laugh " said Su Wan angrily pouting as she peeked at him through the gap of her fingers .

That only made him laugh even more .

" You - fine keep laughing I'm leaving !" Su Wan couldn't bear anymore embarrassment and teasing , thus she turned on her heel to return back to her room but just as she turned her back on Lin Rui , the so called gentle and calm scholar actually reached his arms out and embraced her from behind .

" You let go - its freaking day light what will people say if they see you acting like this !" Actually Su Wan didn't care what people said about her , but she really didn't want to be teased anymore .

" Wan Wan don't be angry alright ?" Lin Rui whispered , his hot breath tickling her ears which made her feel itchy , Su Wan wasn't really angry thus she stopped struggling , and when she stopped trying to get out of his hold , Lin Rui removed his hands from her waist and slowly turned her around to face him .

Because Su Wan was teased so early in the morning , her flustered appearance had another charm to it . Her eyes were dewy and her lips were cherry pink because she had bitten on them - it was her old habit whenever , she was embarrassed , Su Wan would chew on her bottom lip .

Lin Rui took a glance at her ethereal appearance and was dazed , he really wanted to take a bite of those pouty lips and see for himself , whether or not they were just as soft as Su Wan hands or maybe they might be even more softer .

Su Wan didn't hear anything from him instead Lin Rui's gaze seemed to have turned even hotter and his breathing turned laboured , she wanted to know what happened but then she took a look at his fiery gaze that was locked on her lips and she was stunned - looks like this gentleman was not that much of a gentleman was he ?

" Ah Rui ?" She called tentatively , she didn't want to be kissed this early when she haven't even washed her face and her breath still smelled of pork and spices .

" hmm?" Lin Rui blinked when she called him and embarrassingly coughed , how shameful , he was actually having such thoughts in broad day light ? Luckily he didn't act on his instincts and kissed Su Wan here what if his brothers saw him ? But then his gaze once again flickered to Su Wan 's lips and his heart wavered , so what if they caught him ? He was kissing his wife not an unknown woman what was wrong if he stole a few kisses ?

" Ah Rui what is it ? " clearing her throat when she saw that Lin Rui's hand was actually trailing up her cheek , she asked " you wanted to tell me something ?"

" Yes " cupping her cheek , Lin Rui softly rubbed it " Before last night incident I thought that the past wasn't important because that's why its called past but now I realised that its better that you hear the truth from me then hearing the garbled version from someone else - " and then without waiting for Su Wan to prepare he said " Luo Chenxi and I were indeed engaged to get married but later on the engagement fell through "

Su Wan did have an inkling that some thing was off about Luo Chenxi and Lin Rui's relationship but now that she was hearing it on her own , she felt her heart drop and she immediately pulled a long face " you liked her ?"

Lin Rui shook his head in denial at once " no , its my father . He - well he was a good father even though he was a little unreasonably filial and boastful but he was a good father … It was his dream that one of his son become a scholar , being uneducated himself . At that time Eldest brother and Second was already too old to join school and third brother well he is a bit too over enthusiastic and wasn't really a scholar material and Ah Yu , well he was born sickly - all in all I was the only one left to fulfil my father's dream . So I did , my father took me to a school after saving money for months , no one had any expectations from me because I was a son of a hunter - but when I gave the exam to enter the school , the scholar there told my father that I had a talent for studying , and if I keep up , I might become an official -my father who loved his sons a little too much immediately grew proud - and when he returned to the village , ah well - he kind off publicised the entire thing to the village and every came to know that I had a bright future ahead "

Su Wan suddenly felt a little envious of Lin Rui , and the other Lin brothers . They might have been poor but they had good natured and loving parents , something both she and the original owner lacked .

Lin Rui of course caught the less than happy expression of her face and immediately patted her head " well anyways , after the news ended up spreading so widely , Luo Chenxi suddenly started showing interest in me , something she hasn't done before but I was a kid and Didn't know better , and my father - well he wanted the best for his kids , he saw that Luo Chenxi has a nice background and her father was the village head , he sort of agreed to the engagement - "

" what about you ?" This was what Su Wan was most concerned about she wanted to know what Lin Rui thought about Luo Chenxi

" Me ? I naturally found her annoying - she was such a clingy little girl even as a kid " said Lin Rui with an irritated expression on his face , Su Wan grinned " to me it was just a matter of convenience , I wasn't really bothered by the fact who and when I was going to marry "

" Then what about now ?" Asked Su Wan cocking an eye brow , did he marry her for convenience too ?

" Now ?" Smilingly Lin Rui pinched her cheek lightly " now I think I was really lucky because if I missed on such a beautiful wife like you , that would have been my life time regret "

" Damn right it would be " puffing out her cheeks , Su Wan shamelessly boasted

Lin Rui smiled then tipping her chin , he rubbed her bottom lip with his thumb , as an unusual roguish smile decorated his face " My dear , do you have any idea ? That you are teaching the moon , the art of being beautiful ? "

Reciting a small poem , Lin Rui removed his thumb from Su Wan's lips and pressed it upon his own .
