The group of guys: “…!!!”
“What ugly cripple are you talking about?! I tell you, Mu Huan’s husband is the hunk of the universe! It’s just that he has yet to recover from his injuries! Once he recovers, none of you here can match up to even the dust on his shoes!”
Alas, no one believed her words.
Sometimes, people would only believe what their eyes see. If a man was rich, handsome, and not disabled, why would he marry a young lass who had eyes only for his money?
He would surely marry a rich lady of compatible status!
Only an ugly and rich cripple would marry a materialistic young girl, with the latter’s eyes on his money and the former’s eyes on her beauty and young, tender body.
Outside the coffee shop.
After getting on board the car, Mu Huan felt that she was about to be suffocated from the dense and heavy atmosphere inside.
Just then, PA Wang returned.
“Sir, I’m unable to find Madam…” He had just finished speaking when he spotted the said woman in the car, much to his surprise.
“Head home,” ordered his boss coldly.
He then hastily climbed into the car upon sensing something amiss.
As the car headed in the direction of Bao Junyan’s house, the atmosphere inside the car reached an all-time low.
Upon recalling that her husband had warned her to be mindful of her marital status at all times, she immediately explained, “I wasn’t there for matchmaking, Hubby! I was only there to help Li Meng assess the guys! She said that she wants to be in a relationship, so I went along to help her see if there’s anyone suitable for her! As you know, she’s my best friend!
“Look at me! Look carefully, don’t I look especially ugly today? My face is much more yellowish than usual!” She summoned her courage to shove her head right in front of his face.
The man’s gaze involuntarily landed on her little face, and indeed, he found her complexion looking rather sallow, without the usual reddish glow on her fair skin.
“I did this on purpose to make myself ugly. If I didn’t remember that I’m a married woman, why would I deliberately make myself ugly if I were attending a matchmaking session behind your back?!” She pointed at her face with a sincere and determined look.
Bao Junyan: “…”
Right then, Mu Huan plopped into his arms and hugged him out of the blue. With her head lifted, she whined pitifully, “You’ve got to believe me, Hubby. I was really there to accompany her!”
Her husband remained silent.
“Hubby, if you still don’t believe me, I… I will… I will…” The look on her face said, I’m capable of committing all sorts of acts in times of desperation.
“What will you do then?”
“I’ll cry for you to see!” With that, she started wailing out loud.
Bao Junyan: “…”
PA Wang, who was in the driver’s seat: “…”
Madam, isn’t this… method… a little too childish?
At times like this, things may be fine if you just tackle the man since you’re already hugging him, but why would you choose to cry?!
Sir won’t buy this childish trick of yours!
The next second, however…
The hostility surrounding Bao Junyan instantly vanished as he reached out to scoop his wife onto his lap. “How old are you already? How can you cry just like that?”
“Well, I’m at a loss here…” said Mu Huan with an aggrieved look.
“Don’t you attend such events again, regardless of whether you’re just accompanying your friend!”
She hastily nodded. “Okay, I won’t!”
“Good…” He then proceeded to stroke her on the head.
PA Wang: “…!!!”
What a painful slap to the face!
Sir, why are you so easily appeased?! Madam hasn’t even shed a single drop of tears!
At the Bao household…
The strenuous walking from the sudden surge of fury in him earlier, in addition to his long day of high-intensity work, caused Bao Junyan’s leg to throb in pain upon their return to their bedroom.
