Chapter 330 - If I Don’t Behave (3)
Mu Huan lowered her head and thought for a while before she started, “I heard that your fiancee is coming back and that I’m not even a fraction as good as her. And after she returns, you’ll surely dump me.”
Bao Junyan frowned. It was no wonder she seemed so depressed today. It seemed that Yuqi had been telling her nonsense!
“Don’t you listen to the nonsense Yuqi tells you. I’ve said it before: as long as you’re obedient, you’ll always be Madam Bao.”
Hearing this, Mu Huan instantly clenched her fists tightly under the tabletop. Obedient! Again!!
She couldn’t resist the urge and rashly lifted her head to say, “And if I’m not obedient? What if I behaved like that woman at the barbequed skewers shop just then?”
“Which woman?”
“The most aggressive one who used the beer bottle to hit someone!”
Bao Junyan recalled that the woman she was talking about was wearing rather revealing clothes and had heavy makeup on. He frowned and said, “Why would you want to be like her?”
“I’m just supposing!”
“There is no supposing, you’re not like that.” Bao Junyan felt that this imaginary scenario was meaningless. Mu Huan was not like that at all, so there was no point supposing.
“What if I’m that sort of person?” She had been in a fight where she had hit someone that way before. When there was a disparity in strength, one had to be ruthless to gain the upper hand!
Bao Junyan: “…”
“If I were that sort of person, will you like me?”
Bao Junyan was about to speak…
When Mu Huan quickly interrupted, “You’re not to placate me, you have to speak the truth!”
“No, I won’t.” Bao Junyan had never liked women who wore revealing clothes and heavy makeup.
When Mu Huan heard his answer, her heart, which didn’t hold much hope to begin with, fell right to the bottom of the valley with a thud.
Suddenly, she felt as though all her energy had been sucked out and she became extremely dispirited.
Noticing how this seemed to be a blow to her, Bao Junyan frowned and asked, “Why do you suddenly imagine such a situation?”
On top of that, she looked terribly hurt.
Mu Huan lowered her head and, for a while, tried to calm her own emotions. Then, she said, “I just wanted to know if you’d like me in different styles if my style were highly changeable.”
“You are fine as you are.” Her present style was great; there was no need for changes.
Mu Huan: “…”
But she wasn’t really being very herself right now!
Although she liked him and wanted to continue to be with him, she simply could not bring herself to behave so consistently in an amenable and obedient manner. She wanted their relationship to be an equal one, not one where she had to be obedient and do nothing else but be obedient.
“Good girl.” Bao Junyan caressed her head.
Mu Huan: “…!!!”
She didn’t like thinking this way, but she felt like she was a pet kept by him. She was like a pet that he doted on greatly, and he would give her anything on the condition that she was obedient.
“You didn’t eat much. Is that because you don’t like the food here?” She had always boasted a great appetite but didn’t eat much today.
“That’s right, I don’t like the food! I want the barbequed skewers from across the road!” Mu Huan decided to be obstinate for once.
Bao Junyan furrowed his brows. He didn’t like her eating that sort of unhealthy food, but because he remembered she said that it was fine to eat it once in a while, he relented, “Okay.”
Mu Huan was surprised at the compromise. After all, he was a man who said what he meant and wouldn’t be moved. Her insistence after he had said no should have angered him.
But he actually agreed.
Mu Huan’s mood lightened up at once; she thought that this showed she carried some weight in his heart. She looked up and said, as if she was a spoiled child, “Thank you, Hubby! Hubby, you’re the best!”
Bao Junyan: “…”
