Chapter 119 - Why Did She Turn Out to Be His Aunt-in-law
Gu Chenyi pointed at Mu Huan and told his uncle, “Uncle, I’d like to speak to her alone!”
“Hubby, I also want to speak to him alone!”
Looking at them, the man knew that something was going on between the two. Still, one was his beloved nephew while the other was his wife, so he wanted them to get along with each other. This meant that any problem would need to be resolved. “Go ahead.”
The two of them were just about to walk away when the man spoke again.
“Chenyi, Xiao Huan is your aunt-in-law now, which means that she’s your senior.” His meaning to his nephew was clear: the boy had better show her some respect.
The lad stopped in his tracks. His aunt-in-law. The girl whom he liked the most was now his aunt-in-law!
No words could describe how he felt right now. This was more terrible than any of the nightmares he’d ever had. It was a reality that he could not accept!
The man caressed the girl’s head and said, “If he dares to insult or bully you again, let me know. I’ll punch him.”
“…”
Mu Huan was moved beyond words.
The boy could not stand their lovey-dovey acts anymore and walked out of the hall first.
“You go ahead,” Bao Junyan told her as he withdrew his hand.
Glancing at her husband one last time, she then turned around to follow Gu Chenyi.
After they left, Bao Junyan turned his eyes on Lin Qingya, who’s sitting on one side.
She was so flustered by his attention that her palms broke out in nervous sweat!
More than that, she was intensely jealous!
Although Mu Kexin had told her that the man whom Mu Huan was married to was neither old nor ugly but was instead very good-looking, she did not take the girl’s words to heart. All along, she had felt that the younger Mu did not know how to judge a man’s looks so she was dismissive of her claim. She did not expect the man to be this striking!
He was so attractive that Gu Chenyi, the boy whom she had clung to all this time, seemed like a slug when he stood beside the man!
The only reason Lin Qingya warranted a look from him was that she was his nephew’s girlfriend. One look was enough to tell him that his nephew had poor judgment when it came to choosing his partner.
He was about to turn to go upstairs when he recalled his nephew telling him that the girl was his wife’s bestie.
Hence, he opened his mouth and asked, “Are you on close terms with Xiao Huan?”
This made the girl even more nervous. She knew that the man in front of her was not gullible, unlike Gu Chenyi. One wrong word from her and she would be finished.
After thinking for a while, she said carefully, “We used to be best friends.”
The man hummed an acknowledgment and continued to his room to get changed. Since this girl was no longer his wifey’s good friend, he need not bother with her anymore.
The moment he was upstairs, the girl heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed on the sofa.
A mere look and a question from the man were enough to terrorize her.
For the first time, she realized that such a person could exist in this world, where the aura from one look was sufficient to scare a person into submission.
And this person turned out to be Mu Huan’s husband!
She turned green with jealousy. Heavens were unfair to her!
How could this happen?! Especially when this man turned out to be Gu Chenyi’s uncle!
She recalled the efforts she had put in for an impeccable plan: Get together with Gu Chenyi and make Mu Huan watch with angry jealousy. She wanted the latter to suffer. Now, on the contrary, she had to be respectful and must address her nemesis as aunt-in-law instead! The thought was enough to drive her nuts!
At this moment, Gu Chenyi and Mu Huan were at the garden inside the Bao residence.
The moonlight and the flowers complemented the romantic ambiance perfectly. Unfortunately, the couple was not meant to be.
He looked at her as a whirlpool of emotions welled up within him. How did his former girlfriend, the girl whom he liked so much, become his aunt-in-law?!
