“Come, you don’t have to be respectful! Let me see how disrespectful you can be!” Long Feiting looked at her as though challenging her.
Mu Huan: “…”
This was exhausting! Why did she have to keep running into annoying people who would never go away and, on top of that, loved causing trouble?!
“Here, here’s my hair. Yank it, yank it, yank it all you want!” Mu Huan lowered her head and thrust it at him, daring him to do as he pleased.
Long Feiting: “…!!!”
Didn’t she say she was going to be disrespectful toward him? Why was she letting him yank her hair as he pleased?!
“Yank it. Why aren’t you yanking it?” Mu Huan looked at him.
“Who wants to yank your hair? It’s so dirty! You’ve got grease all over your hair!” Long Feiting looked at her disdainfully.
Mu Huan rolled her eyes at him and turned back to continue reading.
Long Feiting looked at her back, snorted icily, and did not say another word.
Lin Qingya observed the interaction between the two from afar, where she stood. She felt a little anxious.
Previously, Long Feiting had announced with such fanfare that he wanted to woo Mu Kexin. But after so long, there had been no substantial progress. A few days ago, when he had transferred Mu Kexin to Yun University, both of them were elated because finally, there was some progress. But who would have expected that following this, there was to be no other action?
And now, there was this childish bickering between them.
Back then, Mu Huan and Long Feiting had been shut in together for four days. If they continued this, they’d only become more familiar…
She had to find a way to stop this from happening!
But…
She also thought that her status and position were uncertain. Gu Chenyi had gone into hiding, so she could only wait and see.
She had to secure her own position before she could do anything else. Otherwise, she could end up losing more than she’d gained.
At this moment, Mrs. Gu called to ask her to return home for a discussion.
She quickly applied for leave from the counselor and went home.
At the Bao residence that night…
Bao Junyan placed his chopsticks down on the table after he had eaten, then said, “Chenyi and Lin Qingya are getting engaged.”
Mu Huan was taken aback.
After all the things that she had said the other day, Gu Chenyi still felt that he had ruined the girl’s innocence and wanted to take responsibility for it?
She…
Was dumbstruck!
She mouthed a quiet acknowledgment, then lowered her head and continued to eat.
Bao Junyan took a phone call at the same time and after that was caught up with his own work.
As Mu Huan ate, she felt troubled, until finally, she decided to speak up.
Hence, she waited until Bao Junyan finished his phone call, then lifted her head and looked toward him. “Hubby…”
“Yes?”
“First, I have to solemnly express that whatever I’m going to say next has got nothing to do with my relationship with Gu Chenyi in the past. I’m not saying this because of him, but because of you. Since he is your nephew, I have to say this!” Mu Huan raised her hand in an oath-taking style.
Bao Junyan glanced casually at the raised hand and said, “Go on.”
“Lin Qingya is not a good person. She has always liked Gu Chenyi and has always wanted him. That she was raped during my grandma’s birthday banquet was by her own design. She…”
Mu Huan had never told Bao Junyan about this from the start because they didn’t know each other then. Even Gu Chenyi had refused to believe her at the time. What more Bao Junyan, who was a stranger to her back then? If she had spoken up, the whole situation could have turned very ugly, and not necessarily in her favor.
Besides, she’d felt that Gu Chenyi wouldn’t be stupid to the extent that he would marry the girl. Furthermore, even if Gu Chenyi was stupid, his father might not be. Surely, he’d be able to see Lin Qingya’s conduct for himself.
But…
