Mu Huan gave a long sigh and then said, “Hubby, wouldn’t this mean that you brought this trouble upon me?”
“Uh-huh,” Bao Junyan said.
“Well then, would you like to compensate me?” Mu Huan leaned toward him, her eyes sparkling with hope.
“How would you like to be compensated?”
“In the past, I was always working and never had the time to take any fun trips…” Mu Huan lowered her gaze as she spoke.
Just when Bao Junyan thought that she was going to ask him to take her on a fun trip and he had started to sort through in his head the more important work that he had to deal with and settle…
“So, I’m thinking of taking a fun trip with Xiao Meng this week. We’ll be leaving on Friday, which is tomorrow night, and coming back on Sunday. May I, Hubby?” Mu Huan lifted her head and looked at Bao Junyan eagerly.
Bao Junyan: “…”
So she didn’t wish to go with him.
Noticing that Bao Junyan’s expression had turned quite ugly, Mu Huan took his arm and said like a spoiled child, “Hubby, I’ve never taken a fun trip with my friends. I really wish I could just take a day off work and, for once, be like others and have a fun time with my friends. Won’t you let me…”
She looked at him with a pitiful expression.
Even the normally hard-hearted Bao Junyan found himself unable to reject her and finally said, “Alright.”
“Hubby, you’re the best!” Immediately, she smiled and her face lit up radiantly like the sun.
When Bao Junyan saw her smiling like this, he felt even more moody.
After dinner, he sat in the living room, watching political news.
Mu Huan had wanted to go upstairs to play video games, but when she thought about how displeased he looked about her trip, she decided to sit down next to him to knit.
He glanced at her. She had been knitting this sweater for two months and there was little progress. He felt that there was probably no hope of him ever wearing a sweater knitted by her.
She was not interested in the news, and even less so in knitting. It was very well to pretend for a short while, but sitting there so formally to knit simply bored her to death.
Hence, very soon, while leaning back on the sofa, she nodded off.
Sensing that there was no movement from the person next to him, Bao Junyan turned to look. He saw she had fallen asleep and was even drooling.
After a long pause…
He stood up, bent over, and lifted her carefully in his arms.
Although he had moved very lightly, Mu Huan was an extremely alert person and she was woken up.
But when she opened her eyes and saw that it was Bao Junyan, she dropped her guard and said, bleary-eyed, “Hubby, what’s the matter…?”
“You should go upstairs to sleep.”
“Oh,” she mumbled and found herself a comfortable position in his arms before shutting her eyes again, letting him carry her upstairs as she continued to sleep.
Sensing her trust and dependence through this little gesture, Bao Junyan’s annoyance vanished. He lowered his head to kiss her tiny pale face and carried her upstairs.
However, once they got upstairs, she could not continue sleeping.
“Hubby, no… I’m tired…” Mu Huan tried to reject his advances in a daze.
“You’ll be gone for two days.”
“Ummm.” In her half-asleep state, Mu Huan wasn’t in a position to protest and could only let out an instinctive moan.
