Bao Junyan placed his broad palm on her stomach. “Does it hurt a lot? Do you need Professor Meng to come over and prescribe you some medicine?”
“It’s fine. I’ll be fine after eating some food and getting some sleep!”
“Alright.” He then moved to lift her.
Mu Huan: “W-What are you doing, Hubby?”
“Didn’t you say you’re going to eat?”
“I can go on my own. You can just go back to work.” I don’t need you to carry me when my legs are functioning properly!
“Aren’t you having a stomach cramp?”
“I’m still able to walk!”
“Be good.” The man refused to accept his wife’s refusal.
Mu Huan: “…!!!”
How I abhor the word ‘good’!
I’m not good at all! I’m not!
She could not help having the feeling that she was a pet dog that he owned! Only by being obedient could she get rewards and love from him!
No matter how intense that feeling was, however, she could only obediently allow him to carry her downstairs to find food.
Inwardly, she comforted herself by saying, He’s showering love to his wife, not to a pet dog!
Later, she thought about things through another perspective. He surely doesn’t have any lingering feelings for his ex-girlfriend when he’s so doting on me. If not, with him being such a cold and aloof man, he wouldn’t be hugging and doting on me the way he is now.
Even with him being under his parents’ pressure to start a family, he can just totally treat me as a decorative piece and a birth tool, not so lovingly like now.
With this change of perspective, she felt a lot more at ease.
1The lass hooked her arms around his neck and flashed him a sweet and charming smile. “You’re so sweet towards me, Hubby!”
Bao Junyan: “…”
How tough it is to fathom a girl’s mind these days!
She was blatantly upset and opposed to my hug just moments ago, yet now, she’s suddenly smiling so sweetly at me and being so happy with me carrying her.

Mu Huan officially became an assistant in the R&D unit of Yun University’s pharmaceutical faculty on Monday.
Despite her being only an assistant, this piece of news caused a sensation in the college! She had, once again, made a historical record in the college.
The R&D unit of their school’s pharmaceutical department, being the most famous medical research department in the country, was a place where all pharmaceutical students fought desperately to get in. Only Ph.D. students were allowed to get into the unit in the past, and yet, she, a freshman, was allowed access!
Everyone in the pharmaceutical department could not help but be green with envy because of that!
“She’s ultimately just a freshman even with her excellent college entrance exam scores. How is she qualified to get into the R&D unit?”
“Qualified? She has a rich old man to pay her way in! Of course she’s qualified!”
“Surely not? The R&D professor-in-charge is known for his morals and integrity. He won’t accept bribes at all!”
“He may not accept monetary bribes, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t accept other forms of compensation! If Mu Huan can marry an old and ugly cripple for the sake of money, it’s possible for her to exchange her body for her future, too! Otherwise, how could she, a freshie, enter the R&D unit?”
“How unfair is this! We studied so hard, but there’s no way for us to get in, yet she—”
“Unfair? Aren’t you being too naive here? The world is never fair, and darkness lurks everywhere!”
“Surely not? She’s already married to a rich old man, so she doesn’t need a bright future anymore. Why would she still do that?”
“Are you stupid? It doesn’t mean that his money belongs to her. Apart from him being old, ugly, and crippled, he surely has brains as well if he’s rich. He’ll certainly not allow her to splurge on his money so carelessly. Meanwhile, she’s also afraid that she might get dumped once she gets old and ugly, so she’s desperately trying to climb up. After all, nothing beats having money in your own pockets!”
