Although nobody made the right guess about the truth, they were now convinced that there was nothing between Mu Huan and Professor Wang.
Bao Junyan made only one appearance at school â he didnât even show his face â but now, all the rumors and slanders vanished without the need for any further work.
At the Bao household...
Bao Junyan and Mu Huan got out of the car after it pulled to a stop.
âI can walk by myself.â Mu Huan felt like she was being treated like a three-year-old.
âYouâre alright now?â Bao Junyan lowered his head to look in her direction.
âSince when was I not?â Mu Huan put on a nonchalant expression. Was she not aware? What happened?
âYou were crying from the fright just now.â Bao Junyan recalled the scene of how she had fallen to the ground in the rain, looking as helpless as a kitten. Anger flashed in his eyes again. His wife was such a gentle saint, how could they even bear to surround her like that and frighten her to tears?!
âI didnât cry from fright!â How could she, Mu Huan, a person who had seen much of the world, be frightened into tears?!
âAlright, you didnât cry.â Bao Junyan thought that she was too embarrassed to admit it.
âI was choking because I was so touched to see you!â Mu Huan tried to explain, seeing that he was doubting her.
âOkay.â
Mu Huan: â...!!!â
What was he saying okay for?! Obviously he didnât believe her one bit!
Did she come across to him like an ignoramus who had not seen anything, that she would cry at a small thing like this? She...
Mu Huan was about to say something when it suddenly occurred to her that she was now an amenable and quiet wife!
Immediately, she swallowed her words and became still in his embrace.
Fine, if he was happy that way, let him think that she had cried out of fright back then.
The man lowered his had and kissed her on the forehead.
Mu Huan: â...â
Alright, it wasnât bad being a weakling!
When the butler saw Bao Junyan returning with Mu Huan in his arms, and that her clothes were wet and dirty, he hurried up to them. âMadam, what happened?â
Without waiting for Bao Junyan to speak, Mu Huan quickly said, âItâs nothing! Iâm fine!â
When Bao Junyan saw this, he smiled. She had rebounded quickly.
The quick recovery told him that she was a proud woman who was unwilling to show her fear.
When they got upstairs, Bao Junyan received an important phone call and walked out of the room. Mu Huan proceeded to take a shower and changed out of her clothes. By the time she walked out again, Bao Junyan was just re-entering the room, carrying a bowl of ginger soup.
Mu Huan creased her brow the moment she caught a whiff of the ginger soup. Why was he bringing ginger soup into the room?
âHere, drink this.â
âWhy would I drink ginger soup for no reason?â Mu Huan loved her food, but she hated ginger!
âYou were caught in the rain.â
âIt was just a light drizzle!â Sheâd be fine even if she stood in the storm all day!
âLast time, you had a high fever after being caught in the wind on a rainy day,â Bao Junyan reminded her.
She retorted, âThat was an accident!â
She really wasnât that weak!
âDrink it,â he ordered sternly.
Mu Huan: â...â
See, that was what a big boss was. When he pampered you, it was heaven, but one could try disobeying his wishes and then see what would happen!
She could only resign herself to fate and down the ginger soup in a single gulp.
After finishing it, she crinkled her face.
âIs it that bad?â the man said, frowning.
Mu Huan replied moodily, âWhy donât you try it yourself!â
âTrue.â The man lowered his head and sealed her mouth with a lingering kiss.
She widened her eyes in shock.
Freaking hell! Did he have trouble understanding what she was saying?! She was asking him to drink the ginger soup, so why was he kissing her?!
âIt tastes pretty good.â
