Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby! Chapter 110: Living Yama Protects His Wife! A Single Glance

The train clattered forward with a "clunk, clunk".

Inside the soft sleeper compartnt, the atmosphere was a bit peculiar.

Gu Lan leaned against the window, her eyes sparkling.

"Sister-in-law, look! We’re almost at Beijing!"

Lin Wan Yi, holding Gu Ning, nodded with a smile.

"Yes, we’re almost there."

Her gaze swept past the excited Gu Lan and landed on the man opposite her.

Gu Yanshen sat upright, like a silent sculpture.

He wasn’t looking out the window, nor was he looking at them.

He was just staring at the shadows connecting the carriages, lost in thought.

In the entire compartnt, apart from Gu Lan’s chatter, there was another particularly jarring sound.

"Wah—wah—"

The sharp crying almost pierced through one’s eardrums.

The middle-aged woman sitting diagonally across from them was impatiently bouncing the child in her arms.

"Crying, crying, all you know is crying! Such a troubleso little thing!"

The woman was wearing a highly fashionable Dacron shirt and a Shanghai-branded watch on her wrist.

The child in her arms, probably a little over a year old, was crying himself red-faced, barely able to catch his breath.

The woman’s husband, a bespectacled man who looked like an official, stood helplessly to the side.

"Xiu i, keep your voice down; we’re on a train."

"Keep my voice down?" The woman, called Xiu i, grew even more enraged.

"Listen to this crying! It hasn’t stopped since we boarded! My ears are about to burst!"

As she spoke, she cast a disdainful glance at Lin Wan Yi’s side with the corner of her eyes.

Especially when she saw Gu Ning in Lin Wan Yi’s arms and Gu An sleeping soundly on the small bed next to her.

The two children were chubby and fair, one looking around curiously with big eyes, the other sleeping with tiny bubbles forming at his lips.

Quiet and unusually well-behaved.

Xiu i’s face turned even more unpleasant.

She muttered sarcastically to her husband.

"Look at them, having not one but two."

"Country folks are different; their kids are like dirt clods, thriving wherever they’re thrown, easy to raise."

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for everyone in the compartnt to hear.

Lin Wan Yi hadn’t spoken yet when Gu Lan’s face darkened first.

"Sister-in-law, I’m going to fetch so hot water."

Gu Lan said as she stood up, deliberately saying "oops" as she passed by Xiu i.

"Auntie, your child is crying so hard, his voice is hoarse."

Xiu i rolled her eyes.

"Isn’t it normal for children to cry?"

"Indeed," Gu Lan said with a bright smile.

"But our An An and Ning Ning hardly cry."

"My sister-in-law says a mother knows best if her child is comfortable. If the mother is unhappy, the child senses it and acts up."

"Don’t you agree?"

Xiu i’s face flushed to a liver-like color.

"You... how can you talk like that, young lady!"

Gu Lan blinked innocently.

"I was just casually talking, Auntie, don’t take it to heart."

With that, she left humming a tune with the thermos in hand.

Xiu i was left speechless, and could only vent her frustration on her own child, bouncing him even harder.

The child cried even more furiously.

At this mont, the usually well-behaved Gu An stirred, his little mouth pouting, seemingly about to cry too.

Xiu i imdiately seized the opportunity, her voice sharpening.

"See! I told you! All kids are the sa! Going to cry!"

Lin Wan Yi didn’t even glance at her.

She took out a small military canteen from her bag.

Opened the lid and brought it to Gu An’s mouth.

"An An, have a sip of water."

Gu An’s little mouth opened, clamped onto the spout, and took two small sips.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The little guy who seed ready to cry a mont ago, after drinking the water, smacked his lips.

In the next mont, he laughed "giggling" at Lin Wan Yi.

The crisp laughter was an ironic contrast to the ear-splitting crying next door.

The whole compartnt fell silent in an instant.

Xiu i and her husband stared dumbfounded at the scene.

The child in Xiu i’s arms was still crying hoarsely.

And Lin Wan Yi’s child, a sip of water, and he was fine?

Xiu i’s eyes were fixed on the military canteen in Lin Wan Yi’s hand.

Her gaze turned greedy and fervent in an instant.

She suddenly stood up and rushed to Lin Wan Yi.

"Comrade!"

Her voice was distorted with excitent.

"What’s in your canteen?"

Lin Wan Yi coolly put the canteen back into her bag.

"Just plain water."

"Impossible!" Xiu i scread.

"Ordinary water could have such an effect? Who are you trying to fool?"

"Do you have so secret formula in there? Or so special foreign dicine?"

She grew more agitated, even reaching out to grab Lin Wan Yi’s bag.

"Let see!"

"What are you doing!"

Gu Lan, having just returned with water, saw this scene and imdiately put the thermos on the floor, rushing over to push Xiu i away.

Lin Wan Yi, holding her child, sidestepped nimbly.

Xiu i lunged and missed.

She got even more aggressive, like a shrew screeching clawing.

"Still hiding it! Just so good stuff, what makes it so special!"

"I’ll tell you, my husband is an officer in the Beijing ministry!"

"Give that water, and the price is negotiable!"

"If you don’t give it..."

She wore a threatening look.

"Once we reach Beijing, you’ll regret it!"

Lin Wan Yi smiled.

"Is that so?"

She hadn’t yet said another word.

A dark shadow, quick as lightning.

A large hand, like a red-hot pincer, suddenly grasped Xiu i’s wrist in mid-air.

It was Gu Yanshen.

He had gotten up at so point, his towering figure stood in front of Lin Wan Yi like a mountain.

His face remained expressionless, yet his eyes were like an icy abyss.

"Ah—"

Xiu i let out a scream.

Her wrist was squeezed audibly, the joints making a cracking sound.

Pain! Excruciating pain!

"Let... let go! Let go!"

Xiu i’s face turned pale, sweat pouring down her face.

She tried to break free, but the hand felt welded to her bones, immovable.

"Old...Old Zhang! Help !"

She pleaded with her husband for help.

The man, with the deanor of an official, was so frightened that his face grew ashen and he rushed over.

"Com...rade, let’s talk it out, please let go first!"

"My wife didn’t an any harm..."

Gu Yanshen ignored him.

He didn’t even raise an eyelid.

He just stared at Xiu i, word by word, squeezing out from between his teeth.

"Apologize."

The voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a chill from the underworld.

Xiu i was in so much pain that tears stread down her face.

Looking at Gu Yanshen’s eyes, devoid of any human emotion, she felt like she was being stared down by a beast.

She could be torn to pieces at any mont.

Fear overwheld the pain and bravado.

"I... I was wrong..."

She stamred shakily.

"I’m... I’m sorry..."

Gu Yanshen released her hand.

As if discarding a piece of trash.

Xiu i collapsed to the ground with a "thud", cradling her wrist, trembling like a leaf.

She dared not utter another word.

The compartnt fell into deathly silence.

Just then.

"Attention passengers, the next stop is the terminal station for this train — Beijing Station..."

The sweet voice of the announcer ca through the broadcast.

The train began to slow down, and outside, the familiar silhouette of the platform beca clearer.

"We’re here! We’ve arrived in Beijing!"

Gu Lan exclaid excitedly.
