Chapter 176 Even in My Dreams I'm Still Unhappy

Shen Feiwan was even more speechless. "Husband, husband, why do I have to find someone to be my husband? Can't I just find a sexual partner that I like?"

"…………?" Shen Xubai was clearly not expected Shen Feiwan to say such a thing, and his beautiful brows furrowed deeply.

His eyes showed a hint of shock. "What kind of inappropriate talk are you spouting? You must never let Mom hear such things."

Shen Feiwan seemed indifferent, "Anyway, I won't answer Lin Xiaoyan's calls."

"No, you have to accept it."

Shen Feiwan snorted, "What can you do to me if I don't answer? Are you planning to sleep here tonight and not leave?"

“Then come on,” she said, raising her hand to start taking off her clothes. “I’m going to sleep now.”

She was wearing a vest under her coat, and as soon as the bra straps were exposed, Shen Xubai's expression changed.

He quickly turned around and walked towards the door, saying, "I'm your brother!"

Shen Feiwan stopped what she was doing. "You're my brother, you can't force me to do something I don't want to do."

Shen Xubai stopped at the doorway, his back to her, and asked, puzzled, "Didn't you used to like him a lot?"

Shen Feiwan pouted, "You said it yourself, it was before. I was young then. I've changed now. People change."

After she finished speaking, she deliberately provoked, "Are you still leaving or not? If you're not leaving, I'm inviting you to come and sleep with me, haha."

Her response was a crisp slam of the door shut.

Shen Feiwan looked at the closed door, pulled up her clothes, and lazily lay back down on the bed.

He thought to himself: Shen Xubai, Shen Xubai, do you think I can't handle you?

After seeing Shen Xubai off, Shen Feiwan went to the bathroom.

She washed her hair, and it was an hour later when she finished drying it.

Before applying skincare products, she picked up her phone and checked something.

Great, no missed calls.

Just as I was about to sit down and apply lotion, my phone suddenly vibrated.

A text message came in: "[I heard you're back. Let's meet up. I'm downstairs at your place.]"

Although she didn't save the number, Shen Feiwan knew that the sender was Lin Xiaoyan.

Her brows furrowed instantly, her finger paused on the screen for a second, and then she got up and walked to the window.

She yanked open the curtains, and sure enough, a black Hongqi was parked downstairs. The people inside seemed to have been watching her closely. As soon as she opened the curtains in her room, the car door was pushed open.

Lin Xiaoyan got out of the car.

He was wearing a black overcoat, tall and slender with straight shoulders, and his tousled hair was clearly from a shower and had just dried.

The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose gleamed coldly under the streetlights, making his handsome face appear even more aloof and distant. He looked up at Shen Feiwan's window, his gaze fixed directly on her.

The two looked at each other through the window.

Lin Xiaoyan didn't stop and walked straight to the window. He looked up at Shen Feiwan, his eyes filled with determination.

Shen Feiwan didn't move, she just stared at him coldly.

Seeing that she didn't intend to come down, Lin Xiaoyan took out his phone from his coat pocket. The next second, Shen Feiwan's phone rang.

She pressed the answer button.

“Wanwan.” On the other end of the phone, Lin Xiaoyan’s voice was deep and gentle, sounding soft.

Shen Feiwan replied coldly, "Didn't you say you wanted to see me? Now that you've seen me, you can leave."

After saying that, she hung up the phone without hesitation, and with a "whoosh," she drew the curtains, completely shutting out Lin Xiaoyan's figure.

Shen Feiwan did not sleep well that night.

When she woke up groggily in the middle of the night, it seemed to be raining outside; raindrops were tapping on the window, making a soft, pattering sound. She turned over and quickly drifted back to sleep.

In her dream, she returned to a summer when she was a teenager. The air was humid in the south, and the cicadas chirped incessantly. Lin Xiaoyan stayed at her maternal grandfather's house to recuperate. Even as a teenager, he was aloof and distant, with glasses perched on his nose, handsome features, but always with a cold expression.

Shen Feiwan fell in love with him at first sight when he was young, and from then on, she became his little shadow. But he never appreciated her feelings and was always indifferent to her. As a young girl, she cried many times because of this, but she never felt wronged. Instead, she felt that she was a warrior of pure love and was happy to endure it.

Later, the two broke up. But he suddenly said he wanted to take responsibility for her, wanted to marry her, and even asked his father to talk about the marriage between the two families.

When Shen Feiwan dreamed of this scene, she was so angry that she wanted to slap him, and she woke up from the dream in a fright.

When she opened her eyes, she found that it was already daylight.

The rain was still falling outside, and the pattering sound came through the window.

At this moment, Shen Xubai knocked on her door. "Shen Feiwan, get up and hurry up and get ready to come down for dinner."

Shen Feiwan threw off the covers and got out of bed.

The first thing she did after getting up was to draw back the curtains. Seeing that Lin Xiaoyan's car was no longer outside, her mood improved slightly.

Humming a song, she quickly washed up and got dressed before going downstairs.

But to her utter surprise, as soon as she went downstairs, she saw Lin Xiaoyan bending down to take off his shoes in the entryway.

His hair and the shoulders of his coat were still wet with rain, clearly indicating that he had gotten caught in the rain when he came in.

Gu Mingxi stood to the side, holding a pair of clean slippers, about to hand them to him.

Upon seeing this, Shen Feiwan frowned immediately, her tone tinged with displeasure, "Why is he here?"

Upon hearing her voice, Lin Xiaoyan immediately looked up, his gaze fixed on her. "Wanwan."

Gu Mingxi turned to look at Shen Feiwan, her brows furrowing slightly. "How dare you talk to people like that? Why didn't you invite Xiao Yan in last night? He waited outside all night."

Shen Feiwan was furious. "He asked to come on his own. I didn't invite him."

Hearing the commotion, Shen Mo, who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, wiped his hands and came out to smooth things over, "Wanwan, Xiaoyan is just concerned about you, be nicer to him."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Xiaoyan and said in a friendly tone, "Xiaoyan, come and wash your hands, let's have breakfast together."

Lin Xiaoyan didn't move, but said humbly, "I won't eat breakfast, teacher. I just came to see Wanwan. It would be even better if she would talk to me for a few minutes."

When he said the last word, he couldn't help but cough, and his voice became a little hoarse.

Shen Mo said with concern, "Look at you, you've caught a cold. Why are you so stubborn? You've been throwing a tantrum and refusing to see me every night. You should just go back now; it's not comfortable to sleep in the car all night."

He even started coughing... Shen Feiwan stood aside and glanced at Lin Xiaoyan sideways before finally speaking, "Come up with me."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the stairs. Her steps were quick and decisive, showing no intention of waiting for him.

Lin Xiaoyan didn't follow immediately, but first greeted Gu Mingxi and Shen Mo, "Teacher, Teacher's wife, I'll go find Wanwan first."
