The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Just for One Night?

Once they returned home, An Nuan pestered her mother to sleep with her in her bedroom.

“If your mother sleeps with you, then who’s going to accompany me?” An Qi did not look too happy upon hearing his daughter’s request. If his wife went with his daughter, then he would have to sleep alone.

An Nuan looked at her father pleadingly. “Dad, you sleep with my mother every day. Why won’t you let me borrow her for one night?”

“You…” An Qi felt something about his daughter’s words sounded inappropriate. However, he did not feel comfortable pointing it up. An Qi let out a cough. “What nonsense are you talking about?” He then turned to his wife, hoping that she would persuade their daughter.

Shi Xi heaved helplessly. She picked up a pillow and threw it over to her husband. “I think, you should sleep alone tonight.”

An Qi’s expression quickly changed. “What do you mean?”

“I’m going to sleep with my daughter.”

“Then, what about me?”

“You can sleep in this room alone today,” Shi Xi said. “These past few days, I have tolerated your snoring. Just let me sleep peacefully for one night.”

Father An gasped. “You never said anything about my snoring in the past.”

Shi Xi ignored her husband and continued to pack up a few things. “Alright. Don’t make trouble. I’m going to accompany Nuan Nuan for one night. Coincidentally, I have a lot to talk about with her.”

“Just for one night?”

Shi Xi heaved another sigh. She looked at her husband, wondering why her husband would act like a child the older that he got.

“Nuan Nuan, you go back to your room first. I’ll come over in a while,” Shi Xi said. She watched as her daughter walked out before turning to her husband again.

Before Father An could say a word, Shi Xi leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. “Just for one night. Let me have a long conversation with our daughter tonight.”

An Qi was stunned to get a kiss on his cheek. Before he knew it, his wife already walked out the door and left him to sleep in the room alone.

An Qi sighed. It seemed that there was nothing he could do but to let his wife go.

But he was still not happy.

His daughter was now a married woman. But she still fights with him for his wife’s attention.

Initially, An Qi was not very happy that the person called Lin Xiao Feng had stolen his daughter. But now, he hoped that his daughter would have a very good relationship with her husband quickly.

This way, she won’t try to rob his wife again the next time.

…

Meanwhile, An Nuan was very happy that her mother was accompanying her to sleep.

It has been a while since she got together with her mother. An Nuan had a lot of things she wanted to say to her mother.

As soon as her mother sat on the bed, An Nuan held her mother’s arm tightly, trying to act coquettishly with her.

“You child…” Mother An patted her daughter’s shoulder a few times. “You and your father are both the same. You both liked to behave like a child.”

An Nuan blinked at her mother a few times.”Mom, what are you talking about?”

Shi Xi patted her daughter’s arm and sighed. ” Alright. Let’s talk about you.” She held An Nuan’s hands and looked at her in the eyes. “Tell me. How is your relationship with Lin Xiao Feng recently? Did you get along with him well?”

It was not long ago that the mother and daughter had a heart-to-heart talk. Shi Xi knew that her daughter’s view of Lin Xiao Feng had changed. Now that they had the chance to have a face-to-face talk, Shi Xi intended to find out more about their relationship.

“Mom…” An Nuan lowered her head.

An Nuan found that talking to her mother about Lin Xiao Feng on the phone was not as awkward as talking face to face.

Recalling how her heartbeat would speed up each time she was near Lin Xiao Feng, An Nuan did not know how she should answer her mother’s question.

“Hey, it was just a simple question. Why are you shy?”

An Nuan looked at her mother again and saw the hint of teasing in her smile.

She did not know what her mother had in mind and An Nuan did not dare to hear her thoughts.

“Of course, we are getting along well,” An Nuan said. “Mom, you can see how well he’s been treating me.”

“Mhm…” Shi Xi nodded. “I can see it. But I still have to hear it from your mouth.” Shi Xi laughed. Her expression turned softer once her laughter stopped. “Nuan Nuan, I am relieved to see that you and Xiao Feng are living well together. I have to admit that I was worried about you when you decided to follow Xiao Feng to Capital City. I know that Xiao Feng is a good man but I am worried that you would not get used to staying under the same roof with him.”

“It’s not that bad,” An Nuan said. “This is just like having a roommate.”

An Nuan hesitated as she thought of her recently developing feelings towards Lin Xiao Feng. It would be embarrassing to talk to her mother about it.

Seeing that her daughter was quiet, Mother An decided to ask a few questions about her daughter’s life in Capital City.

Hearing that she was adjusting well made her feel more at ease.

After listening to her daughter for a while, Shi Xi got a few ideas about her daughter’s relationship with Lin Xiao Feng.

“Nuan Nuan, I don’t know what you think of Xiao Feng at this moment,” Shi Xi said. “But Mom just wanted you to promise something.”

“Mom, what is it?”

“I just want you to promise me that you will not run away from your feelings,” Shi Xi said. She stretched her hand to push a few strands of hair away from An Nuan’s face. “Mom just did not want you to lose on any opportunity to be happy.”
