The man slowly lifted his other hand and placed it on the woman. âAre you going to give me medicine then?â

Later, in the bathroom, Mo Jiangye was enjoying some relaxing bath time with his wife in his arms when she suddenly grabbed hold of his hands and started childishly playing with the bubbles in the bathtub.
âI donât think Yahan is a good match for Xu Xu.â
With eyes brimming with tenderness, he glimpsed down at the woman in his embrace. âYeah. Theyâre incompatible.â
âThey donât look like a couple when they stand next to each other.â
âYeah, they donât.â Weâre the most compatible couple after all. No other couple would look as compatible as us.
âI meant what I said.â
âMm.â
âSomehow, I have the feeling that sheâs no simple woman. I saw her staring at you earlier.â
His lips curled upward. âMm.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âTo be honest, I think Xu Xu can most definitely find a better woman than his current girlfriend, but of course, I can only say this to you in private.â
Fang Yahan was his buddyâs girlfriend, after all. She could not possibly talk trash about his girlfriend in front of him.
Besides, given his good looks and illustrious family background, the two of them truly were an incompatible match. It was not about the issue of social standing, but rather about the fact that she did not look like a simple, kind lady.
âMm.â The man hummed in acknowledgment again as he reached out to re-tie his wifeâs long hair.
âMy sixth sense tells me that she seems to have approached Xu Xu with a motiveâNo! She definitely has a motive.â
One would generally get an accurate first impression of another person, and the vibe that this woman gave off made her feel uncomfortable.
Ye Erruoâs first impression of this woman was that she seemed to be a woman with secrets, like a cloud of fog one could not see clearly through. She was not as docile and gentle as her facade suggested. Even thinking back now, she thought that the vibe she exuded felt off.
âMm.â
âWhen we were having dinner, she would get Xu Xu to give her the same dishes that you got for me. Even I noticed this odd action, yet it did not stop her from staring at you. I could tell that something was wrong with her expression at first glance.â
âI know youâre jealous, Baby Ruo.â
She was repeating the whole âYahan was staring at youâ story for the third time.
âWhy would I be jealous?â She pushed her husbandâs head away from her. âAlso, why do I feel that youâre being awfully quiet today?â
While holding her closely in his arms, he rested his head on her shoulder. âIâm listening to what you have to say.â
âWell, Iâm done speaking now. Donât you have any thoughts on this matter?â
âThat woman wonât make it past the doorstep of his familyâs house. If Xu Xu continues to be stupid and fails to realize that thereâs anything wrong with his girlfriend, Iâll pry his head apart.â
She took his hands in hers and interlocked their fingers. âLetâs see how they get along with each other first. Iâm sure heâll realize that this girl isnât a suitable partner for him. After all, I think that the reason she is staying by his side is because of his family background.â
The man tugged his lips up into a wry smile. âI share the same sentiment.â
Upon hearing his short reply, she turned her head and shot him a quizzical glance. Whatâs up with him today? He usually rattles off nonstop, so why is he so quiet today?
âWhatâs wrong with you?â
âWant to know?â
âJust tell me.â
He started whining. âYouâve been harping on about Xu Xu and his girlfriend the entire night. Did you spare a thought for my feelings at all?â
âWhat feelings?â
The man solemnly said, âYou havenât said my name the whole day. Youâve long forgotten about me. You no longer have a place for me in your heart.â
He was terribly upset to hear her harping on about other peopleâs affairs instead of paying attention to him.
Her face darkened upon hearing that answer. âMo Jiangye.â
âYes, Iâm here, Baby Ruo,â he immediately responded. âIâm right here.â
All at once, his mood improved considerably. The dark, gloomy clouds that had been hanging over him instantly dissipated as well.
