Chapter 159, Section 158: Xiaoman also likes her brother-in-law.

"Honey, what if I told you the acceptance letter was from Tsinghua University?"

"???" Lin Yanwan was stunned. After her emotions had gone through ups and downs, she didn't react for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Xia coughed lightly: "Well... I was also admitted to Tsinghua University."

Lin Yanwan repeated the sentence to herself several times, her tone slightly raised: "So, you've been lying to me all along, haven't you!"

"How can you call it lying? It was just a little joke I played on you, just teasing you." He chuckled.

"..."

Lin Yanwan was furious with this guy. If he were standing in front of her right now, she would crush him to pieces!

No, don't squeeze it. That thing will be very useful later.

They had to tie him up, dress him in all sorts of fancy uniforms, and tempt him, dawdling and teasing him until he couldn't have it and couldn't stop himself.

"call……"

She clenched her fists and let out a long breath.

Don't get angry, absolutely don't get angry. You must make him pay a heavy price in the future, so he'll know what it means to eat goji berries as a meal and yams as a snack.

"Really? It's really an acceptance letter from Tsinghua University? You're not lying to me?" Lin Yanwan asked uncertainly.

"Yes! It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, I'll read it to you."

Jiang Xia read out in a measured tone: "Jiang Xia, you are admitted to our school's animation program. Please bring this admission notice to the school for registration. Specific time and location can be found in the 'New Student Admission Guide'."

"Do you believe me now?"

Lin Yanwan breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from the different major, everything else was exactly the same as her admission notice.

"Yes, that's great." She forced a smile and said.

Jiang Xia pursed her lips and asked shyly, "Um... baby, aren't you angry that I was just teasing you?"

"What's there to be angry about? I'm overjoyed! We're finally going to the same university!"

Hearing his wife's happy tone, Jiang Xia frowned. What she said was true, but something still felt off.

Does lowering expectations lead to a greater sense of happiness when those expectations are met?

"Of course, nothing can separate us!"

The long, drawn-out phone call lasted a while longer before the two reluctantly hung up.

He walked out of the bedroom and saw Xia Shanshan smiling as she held her Tsinghua University admission commemorative card, looking at it over and over.

"Were you on the phone with Yanwan just now?" she asked, glancing at her son.

"Yes, she also received an acceptance letter from Tsinghua University, majoring in Business Administration," Jiang Xia said with a smile.

"Oh! Really?! Great, great!"

Xia Shanshan was overjoyed this time. Her son and daughter-in-law were both admitted to Tsinghua University. In other people's eyes, their love was like that of a fairy couple. It could be said to be a double blessing!

"No, no, we have to celebrate today!"

She thought for a few seconds and said, "Son, I'd like to invite Yanwan's parents to dinner tonight. Could you help me get in touch with them?"

"That... is possible, but Mom, are you serious?"

Jiang Xia imagined the scene in his mind: the two sets of parents meeting under the guise of a celebration banquet, which somehow turned into an engagement ceremony.

"What do you mean by true or false? Forget it, I'll ask myself."

Xia Shanshan muttered as she walked to the balcony: "I wonder if Xiaoman's mother is busy right now."

She took out her phone, went to her contacts, found Xiaoman's mother's number among dozens of parents' numbers, and then dialed it.

"Hello, Xiaoman's mom, this is Xia Shanshan..."

◇

Lin Yanwan gritted her teeth and punched her life-sized doll, which had a note with Jiang Xia's name on it.

What a despicable guy! How dare he deceive her feelings!

I was overjoyed to share the good news with him, but he insisted on reporting bad news, and he acted so convincingly that I almost believed him.

Then there was another 180-degree turn, her mood went up and down, it was all about messing with her mindset.

"You damned Jiang Xia, you stinking Jiang Xia, don't even think about kissing me for a week! No, you're not even allowed to hold my hand!"

After she had vented her anger, she lay down on the bed and, thinking about how the two of them were about to enter Tsinghua University, suddenly laughed out loud like an idiot.

"Sister, are you thinking about brother-in-law again?" Lin Xiaoman's voice suddenly rang out in the room.

"I didn't!" She blushed and instinctively denied it.

"Sister is lying. Every time she secretly thinks about brother-in-law, she smiles like this. It's so sweet," Xiaoman said earnestly.

"..."

Lin Yanwan was speechless. Couldn't this younger sister focus her attention on something else every day? Now she's acting like a paparazzi.

"I wouldn't even think about that guy!"

“Sister, Teacher Xia said that self-deception is a bad thing. If you think about something, you think about it. Why can’t you say it? Look at Xiaoman, she really likes her brother-in-law and thinks about him every day.”

Lin Yanwan: "???"

Her gaze changed instantly, and countless images flashed through her mind:

【Ha, Xiaoman, since you're not giving your sister a way out, then don't blame me for being ruthless!】

[The little vixen has finally shown her tail, huh? She even dares to steal her sister's man! Xiaoman, Xiaoman, are you forcing me to buy fish from Lao Mo?]

My heart had only darkened slightly, but my mindset instantly returned to normal.

Lin Yanwan raised her hand and pinched her younger sister's cheek, saying righteously, "No, you are my brother-in-law's sister-in-law. You can't like her or even think about her. I am his wife. Only I can like her and think about her!"

“But…” Xiaoman’s face was pulled, and her expression became very aggrieved. She pouted and said, “But Sister can teach Xiaoman to draw cats and Old Xu.”

Lin Yanwan's face twitched violently, and she gently let go of his hand. Was she overthinking things, or was the child's affection just too innocent?

"I can draw too, although that guy taught me."

"Hehe, really? Then teach me quickly, sister! I'll draw it for Xiaomei after school starts!"

"Then you should say you don't like your brother-in-law first," Lin Yanwan said with a light hum and turned her head away.

She mentally justified herself, saying that this wasn't jealousy, but rather a precaution.

"Huh?" Lin Xiaoman blinked her eyes cutely, thinking that it wasn't a problem for her to like her brother-in-law and sister teaching her to draw.

"I won't teach you if you don't tell me!"

"Xiaoman knows that her older sister likes her brother-in-law. Xiaoman won't compete with her sister for her brother-in-law. Xiaoman just wants to play with her brother-in-law," she said, feeling wronged.

"Okay, good girl~"

Lin Yanwan smiled and patted her younger sister's head.

She's a gentle older sister, how could she possibly be jealous of her younger sister? By the time Xiaoman grows up, that guy will have been completely drained by her, and he won't have the leisure to like little girls anymore.

She carried Xiaoman to the desk, took out drawing paper and pens, and was about to teach her younger sister to draw Talking Tom when Ji Wanqiu suddenly called.

"Yanwan, your Aunt Xia wants to invite our family to dinner tonight. You should get ready."
