After arriving at the school, she got out of the car and left.
Bo Junyan looked at her back as she walked into the school and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
This cold war and stiff relationship made him, who had never been unable to solve anything, feel helpless for the first time.
PA Wang, who was driving, could feel the immense pressure. He shuddered and said carefully, âCEO, girls, they especially need to be coaxed.â
After a long silence.
âHow?â
PA Wang: â...â
He really didnât know.
Although Bo Junyan didnât know how to appease Mu Huan, he didnât take away the ten million that she had earned later. He had also returned the hundreds of millions that he had taken away from her previously. This saved her the trouble of racking her brains to think of ways to disguise herself as a man and do those things because she was earning money.
He thought about how she had hugged a woman so elegantly like a real man.
Bo Junyan had a headache. He felt that he still didnât understand his wife well enough.
Because of his concession, Mu Huan was no longer as angry as before. She also realized that she had done something wrong. It was just like how she thought he was going to hurt her granny. By doing that, sheâd hurt him. Furthermore, they couldnât continue to be in a cold war like this. It was better to have a good talk.
Hence, when Bo Junyan came to pick her up in the afternoon, she apologized the moment she got into the car.
âIâm sorry, Junyan. I didnât really think that you wanted to hurt my granny that day. My threat to kill you was just a catchphrase. This is my fault. I apologize to you solemnly.â Mu Huan knew that Bo Junyan cared about her a lot. It was also because of this concern that no matter how much he threatened her, she had never thought of leaving him. She also felt that he wouldnât really hurt her friends. She was so angry that she didnât want to bother with him because he had been too much these past few days. No matter what, heâd used force and ignored her rejection.
All she wanted was for him to not be so tough. She wanted the two of them to get along well.
Bo Junyan glanced at her and said, âYou donât have to apologize for your instinctive reaction.â
Mu Huan: â...â
After a while.
âItâs mainly because of what you said the day before.
âYou thought that I would hurt your granny just because I said that, so I...â Bo Junyan did not finish his sentence. He turned to look out of the window, his handsome face giving off an indescribable feeling.
Mu Huan: â...â
After looking at him for a while, she couldnât help but say:
âBo Junyan, do you know that itâs not good for you to keep your words to yourself?
âAt that time, we were in such a bad mood. You said that if I didnât return after that, youâd go look for my granny. If I wasnât supposed to think youâd do it at the first instant, what should I have thought? Especially when you used my good friends to threaten me! Youâve already done such a thing, so itâs not like I could assume you wouldnât do it. Iâm definitely afraid that youâll use my granny to threaten me in a moment of anger.â
Bo Junyan: â...â
âOf course, I was too anxious at that time and didnât pay attention to my words. I said that Iâd hurt you. I apologized when I did something wrong, but when did you apologize? You only threatened me, right?â
âYou were the one who wanted to leave me. You were already prepared to leave.â There was an inexplicable grievance in his tone.
He had risked his life to rush back, but his wife didnât want him anymore. At that time, he almost lost control!
âYes, I did prepare myself, but did I prepare a way out because I wanted to? Donât tell me that if you didnât want me, I could only be a pitiful abandoned woman and be bullied to death?â
Just as her father had said, once she and Bo Junyan were done and Ling Wei took her place, she would definitely deal with her. She had her granny and friends to take care of. What was she supposed to do? Wait for death? She couldnât! The gap between them and the enemy was like that of a tiger watching its prey. She had to prepare a way out for herself.
âI didnât say I didnât want you!â Since when did he say he didnât want her? How could he not want her?!
âDid you say that youâll forgive me? Did you say that you still want me? Ever since you saw that side of me, Iâve apologized so much to you. I tried so hard to not make you angry with me, but what did you assume? You thought that Iâm only scheming to win your heart back. In fact, Iâm the kind of person who uses my body in exchange for a better life! You look at me like this, yet you donât say that youâll forgive me. What do you want me to think?â That period of uneasiness was too torturous!
âI know youâre busy. Youâre busy with big projects, but no matter how busy you are, canât you find the time to call me and tell me that youâve forgiven me? How long would it take for you to forgive me?! Do you really not have the time? You might be busy, so busy that you donât have the time to think about these small things, but what about me? Have you thought about how frightened and uneasy I am? Do you know how scared I am?!
âAll along, youâve been telling me that you want a gentle and obedient wife. Iâve even asked you once what would happen to me if I wasnât obedient. You told me, youâll teach me until Iâm obedient.
âBut Iâm not gentle, Iâm not obedient, and Iâm not weak. Iâm not the kind of weak girl that youâve always thought would feel tired from just holding a bag. Iâm a tough girl, and I can shake off a man who weighs 200 pounds with one hand. You donât like people who fight, but I used this to earn money! Iâm not someone who listens to everything you say.
âThe life that I want isnât one where I have to do whatever you want me to do. I want us to be on equal footing. If we want to have something, we can discuss it between ourselves and not just listen to you. The wife that you want and I are worlds apart. We are complete opposites! So, why donât you stop making me feel afraid? Donât you like the real me? Why wonât you let me find a way out for myself?
âI know. It was my fault in the beginning. It was my fault for hiding it from you. No matter if I was forced or not, it was my fault. Hence, I apologized to you and begged for your forgiveness.
âBut you didnât say you would forgive me. After that, after what happened to your grandfather, you stopped the wedding. I know you have your considerations and reasons, but have you ever thought about my feelings?
âInitially, I was wrong. I apologized. You didnât forgive me and didnât accept me. All these signs show that you donât want me anymore. In such a case, what did you want me to do? Instead of preparing a way out for myself and waiting for you to come back, should I have cried and begged? If thatâs useless, should I have been tortured to death by Ling Wei?â
âIt wonât be like this. I didnât not forgive you. I just...â
âYes, you do know that it wonât be like this, but I donât know that! You didnât tell me anything!â If he didnât say anything, how would she know? Being in love was something that made people worry about gains and losses, let alone when a storm happened.
âAfter you came back, you didnât even say that you had forgiven me. You came up and threatened me with my best friends, saying that I wasnât allowed to leave! I understand that you come from a high background and youâre high up in the air. In your eyes, everyone has to listen to you. If they donât listen to you, you can threaten them to listen to you. But Iâm not your subordinate, Iâm not your enemy. Iâm your wife.
âYou think that I donât care enough about you. You think that Iâll hurt you when you threaten me with hurting my granny, but when you threaten me, have you ever thought that youâll hurt me too?! The person I like is using my greatest weakness to threaten me! Threaten me! Wonât I feel terrible?â
Especially when she had made it clear to him that she hated being threatened!
âI know youâre very angry that I hid the fact that I passed the NST test from you. You feel that I didnât keep my word and have been lying to you. Yes, I did say that I would never hide things from you again, but that was under the circumstances where our relationship was good. Now that our relationship isnât good and youâve used my friends to threaten me, and you didnât say that you wanted to lead a good life with me, I donât even know what will happen tomorrow. How do you want me to tell you?â
âDo I need to make it so clear that Iâm forcing you to stay? Youâre so smart.â She was such a smart person. Couldnât she tell? If he didnât like her and couldnât accept her, he would only be happy if she wanted to leave. Why would he force her to stay?
She was so smart that she didnât understand the meaning of being forced to stay.
âYes, you donât have to make it very clear. But you forced me to stay, right?â Initially, she was uneasy and uncertain about his feelings for her. She couldnât tell if they could continue to be together.
Although she was angry at his threat after he returned, she was relieved. He had forced her to stay because he loved her. That was why she wanted to live a good life with him and was angry with him for threatening her.
As a married couple, they wanted to live a long life. Even if they didnât talk about anything, threatening others wouldnât last long.
âWill you stay if I donât threaten you?â Would she obediently stay with him if he didnât threaten her?
âDo you think you can keep me if you threaten me?â If there was no love, his threat would not be able to keep her.
âWith your granny and friends around, you wonât be able to go.â Because he knew how much she cared about them, he instinctively wanted to use these people to keep her.
When Mu Huan heard this, she was a little speechless. âI do have family and friends. Donât you have family and friends?
âDo you think that I canât poison your friends one by one and then kill your grandfather?â
After obtaining the Song familyâs secret prescriptions, coupled with the convenience of the laboratory and the fact that she herself liked those messy medicines, Mu Huan had already grasped all the poison in her familyâs arsenal. It was not easy to threaten her.
If she really wanted to leave, she could wipe out Bo Junyanâs family.
Bo Junyan: â...â
âYouâre immune to a spray, but are you immune to all the drugs? I can kill you seamlessly and without leaving any traces. Do you know that I can take over the Bo familyâs assets?â
Bo Junyan: â...â
PA Wang, who was sitting in the front seat, shuddered when he overheard the conversation.
For a workaholic like their CEO who had over-exhausted his stamina, if she really used some medicine that would leave a trace, he would be mistaken for having suddenly died. Furthermore, if she messed with the CEOâs parents and grandfather, she could really dominate the Bo familyâs assets!
â...â A woman who knew medicine was simply too scary!
âLetâs not talk about being so ruthless. Letâs talk about being gentler. If I gave your parents some drugs to make them suffer to threaten you to let me go, are you going to let me go or not?â
Bo Junyan: â...â
âWho doesnât know how to threaten? Itâs just that Iâve never used it on you. I hope you donât keep using threatening methods on me. If thereâs anything between us, we can talk about it properly.â Threatening someone at the drop of a hat was really unacceptable.
âAlso, Iâm only like this now and you already feel that youâve been hurt by me. What about me? Have you ever thought about how hurt I felt when you said that about me and ignored me?â
Bo Junyan: â...â
âBut no matter how injured I was, no matter how I tried to find a way out for myself, I didnât want to leave just like that. You used force to threaten me, and I was only angry. I wanted you to coax me and keep me, but you kept using force on me and even threatened me!â
Mu Huan didnât want to leave Bo Junyan. She was angry because she wanted Bo Junyan to coax her. She wanted him to pay more attention in the future and not be so overbearing. They were husband and wife, and they had to have a heart-to-heart talk. They both shouldnât be threatened.
On the other hand, he was addicted to threatening her and kept doing this!
âI donât like to live an awkward life. Iâm not like you, whoâs cold and aloof. You donât say anything thatâs in your heart. I hope that no matter what happens, it wonât be resolved by threatening others. Instead, it will be settled through talking and peaceful means.
âI can tell you very clearly that because you used force on me, because you kept threatening me, I was very angry and couldnât forgive you. If you want me to forgive you, you have to show your sincerity and apologize. What are you doing to make me not be angry with you?! And not to threaten me again and again!â
She really didnât like him threatening her so easily.
Bo Junyan kept silent for a while before saying, âYou were the one who wanted to leave me and hid it from me.â
Mu Huan: â...â
Did he mean that he wasnât in the wrong? Was it all her fault?
Mu Huan suddenly became angry. âGo home by yourself. I donât need you to pick me up from now on!â
As she spoke, she pushed open the car door and got out.
Bo Junyan grabbed her instinctively.
âLet go.â
âNo, letâs go back together!â he said angrily in the car.
âLet go. If you donât, Iâll kill PA Wang first!â
PA Wang: â...!!â
Was there a mistake?! Why did she want to kill him?! Was he that important to the CEO?! Was he?!
In his next life, he wanted to be a CEO too! Donât be a scapegoat!
Bo Junyan: â...â
After a while.
âIf you donât leave me, I wonât threaten you.â He didnât want to threaten her either. Even if she wanted to leave him.
Mu Huan was so angry that she almost laughed. She had said so much, but he still threatened her!
âHavenât you heard? Women are all heartless. Whoever treats her well, sheâll run away with that person. If you donât treat me well, youâll threaten me at every turn. Why should I stay by your side? To be tortured? Also, what youâre doing now is threatening me!â
Bo Junyan: â...â
Mu Huan forcefully withdrew her hand and got out of the car. Just as she was about to close the door and leave, she suddenly thought of something.
âTonight, my granny said that she wants to have dinner with you. Iâll go back and prepare first. Come back and show your lovey-dovey side. Donât be cold and indifferent. If my granny sees anything, sheâll worry about me. If you agitate her, Iâll agitate your grandfather! Iâll make your family suffer!â
Donât you only know how to threaten? Come on! Letâs threaten each other!
Let him have a taste of what it feels like to be threatened and played hard by someone he likes!
Bo Junyan: â...â
PA Wang: â...â
This woman really went all out when she was being ruthless!
After Mu Huan left...
Bo Junyan kept silent for a while before asking, âTell me, how should I treat her?â
He had already done everything he could think of to treat her well, but she was still so angry that she wanted to leave him. She felt that she was being tortured. What else could he do?
