The man asked, âDid she lay a hand on you?â
Yun Shishi shook her head. âNo. You arrived just as she was about to do so.â
âIf I had not made a timely appearance then, would you have let her walk all over you?â Inwardly, he wondered about the possibility of this woman letting his niece trample on her if he happened not to have made it in time earlier.
âWho says so? You just happened to arrive when I was about to do so!â countered the woman pretentiously, not forgetting to shower compliments on him. âI didnât expect you to be so nimble, hubby. Did you sense that I was getting bullied, so you rode your Wind and Fire Wheels1
to come rescue me?â
As soon as she said that last part, she heard her kids breaking out in uncontrollable guffaws.
Mu Yazheâs face darkened. âJust what do you store in your little head?â
Despite the disdain on his face, the man was still smiling.
This woman calling him âhubbyâ filled his heart with much sweetness.
This lass is just too cute for words.
It was especially so when she hugged his arm in a silent declaration of possession in front of his niece. He truly found the action to be very heartwarming. It even gave him a strong sense of achievement, which felt way better than when he managed to clinch an expensive contract!
âSay, hubby, why are some women just so shameless? What should I do if she comes harassing me again?â
He breezily replied, âSlap her back!â
âSlap her back?â
That simple yet brute answer left her speechless.
She then mumbled under her breath, âSheâs the mayorâs precious daughter, though. On top of that, her family has many powerful and influential members. Wonât I be causing you trouble if I lay a hand on her?â
He, however, answered her question in a very earnest manner. âRemember your status at all times.â
âPardon?â
âShe might be the mayorâs daughter, but youâre Young Madam Mu. Your status supersedes hers. Even if you bully her to the extent that things get blown up, the one who will eventually come humbly offering apologies is herânot you. Bear that in mind,â lightly explained the man.
âMy hubby is such a formidable character, huh?â She gaped at him in feigned surprise, her expression looking playful yet adorable.
He shot the woman a side-eye. âOnly now you know?â
Stunned for a second, she broke into a somewhat bitter smile as she blandly spoke. âWhat Young Madam Mu... Your family doesnât even recognize me; I canât live up to that name.â
Mu Yazhe squeezed his brows together and held her hands tightly. âAll you need is my approval! Iâm the decision-maker in the Mu family, so I have the final say regarding your status! Youâre my fiancée and my only future wife! Who dares to say ânoâ to the person I approve of?â
He was practically the embodiment of tyranny.
She stared dumbly at him, feeling momentarily lost on how to respond to him.
âFret not. Iâll have all your concerns settled before our wedding! Give me some time.â The man solemnly gave his promise.
She nodded, feeling moved.
Later, after their dinner, the two adults were intending to head straight home when their kids suggested that they catch a movie to digest their meal since they were feeling quite stuffed.
âHow about we head to the cinema?â
âGreat idea! I happen to have four movie tickets!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
