The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Wasn’t This Too Cruel?
“It’s nothing.”

Lin Xiao Feng saw the sharp look that An Nuan shot at him.

“You know that my grandfather can be quite strict.”

The light in An Nuan’s eyes flickered. She naturally understood Lin Xiao Feng’s words. The person who caused the scars on Lin Xiao Feng’s body was no other than his grandfather.

“But why?” An Nuan frowned.

At this age, there were still elders who beat the younger generation like this?

An Nuan had always been slightly afraid of Lin Xiao Feng’s grandfather. But now, she disliked him a little bit.

“I did something wrong and was punished.”

The frown on An Nuan’s face deepened. “But this is still wrong.”

A faint smile appeared on Lin Xiao Feng’s face.

Lin Xiao Feng could not say too much. No matter what, that person is still his grandfather.

Of course, Lin Xiao Feng did not agree with his grandfather’s action. However, even if someone had advised his grandfather, that old man refused to listen.

He still believed that some beating would straighten up a person.

His grandfather was too stubborn.

“Is it painful?” An Nuan asked.

“Well, not anymore.”

The lashes were always painful but, after a while, the injury no longer hurt. Moreover, the medicine that Qi Zheng prepared for him was always effective.

An Nuan tried to count the scars on Lin Xiao Feng’s body but there were too many of them. After a while, her fingers touched the recent scar on Lin Xiao Feng’s body. “The one that looks new… Why did your grandfather punish you?”

Lin Xiao Feng’s face stiffened.

Fortunately, An Nuan’s attention was on the scars and she did not notice the change on Lin Xiao Feng’s face.

Lin Xiao Feng remembered the day he received the ten lashes. It was after he married An Nuan.

Of course, Lin Xiao Feng was not willing to let his wife know the reason he received the lashes. He did not want to see An Nuan sad. Most of all, he did not want An Nuan to blame herself.

He was now married to the person he loved.

Even if his grandfather wanted to beat him a few more times, he would be willing to accept it.

Lin Xiao Feng never regretted his decision to marry An Nuan.

His grandfather might not like his method but Lin Xiao Feng knew that if it was not because of his decision, it would be difficult for him to marry An Nuan.

Snatching someone else’s bride made his grandfather angry but for Lin Xiao Feng, that was his only chance.

“I made a decision without consulting my grandfather,” Lin Xiao Feng said.

“Just because of that?” An Nuan looked surprised. “Lin Xiao Feng, what did you do?”

Just what did Lin Xiao Feng do that his grandfather had beaten him like this?

An Nuan could tell that the lashes were quite heavy.

Wasn’t this too cruel?

Lin Xiao Feng was the only grandson in Lin’s family. Why did his grandfather have to treat him this way?

A helpless sigh escaped Lin Xiao Feng’s lips.

Lin Xiao Feng turned to face An Nuan before pulling her into his embrace.

“Nuan Nuan, please don’t ask me about the injury,” Lin Xiao Feng said. “I don’t want to say it.”

An Nuan hesitated. She still wanted to know about Lin Xiao Feng’s scar.

It was unfair that Lin Xiao Feng had to suffer this much.

He was an adult.

Why would his grandfather still beat him?

“Alright.” An Nuan lowered her gaze. “I won’t ask if you won’t tell.”

She figured that Lin Xiao Feng was embarrassed to talk about the injury on his back. After all, he was an adult who still had to receive a few beatings.

“But Lin Xiao Feng, my heart ached for you.” Her nose was stinging.

An Nuan made a silent promise to always treat Lin Xiao Feng gently.

Lin Xiao Feng held An Nuan tighter.

“Well, you don’t have to worry. This thing doesn’t happen that frequently.”

“Then, if I make a mistake, will your grandfather beat me as well?” An Nuan narrowed her eyes. She already decided to report Lin Xiao Feng’s grandfather to the police if the old man dared to lift his hand on her.

“Of course, not.” Lin Xiao Feng sighed. “My grandfather was only strict with the male in the house.”

His grandfather had never beaten his grandmother or his mother.

“Then, let’s not have a son in the future,” An Nuan said. She was not about to give Grandfather Lin a chance to hit her children.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiao Feng was startled when he heard An Nuan’s words.

He pulled away from An Nuan and stared at her for a long time.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” An Nuan frowned.

“You…” Lin Xiao Feng laughed.

“Why are you laughing?” An Nuan was unhappy.

They were discussing an important matter. The scar on Lin Xiao Feng’s body was not something trivial. Why was he laughing? Did he think it was funny?

“Nuan Nuan.” Lin Xiao Feng asked on An Nuan’s lips. “You are already planning to give birth to a daughter for me? Nuan Nuan, I should be happy.”

An Nuan’s expression froze.

Then, she realized what she had said earlier about not wanting to give birth to a son.

Just now, she spoke in anger and had not realized what she was saying.

“It seems that I have to work hard,” Lin Xiao Feng teased.

“Shameless.” An Nuan pushed Lin Xiao Feng away. Her face was now as red as a cooked lobster. “I don’t want to talk to you.”

Lin Xiao Feng laughed again.

Before An Nuan could escape, Lin Xiao Feng pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

Hearing the person he loved talking about giving birth to his offspring made him happy.

Suddenly, he could picture a daughter who looked like An Nuan.

The little girl would be so cute.

Lin Xiao Feng has always admired Zhang Yu Han’s daughter, Li Xue.

It would be great if he could have a daughter as well.
