Chapter 161 - An Opportunity Missed Is an Opportunity Lost
The temperature inside the car gradually dropped as the car progressed.
Mu Huan, who was dressed warmly in her long dress, could not help feeling the urge to shudder at the coldness of it.
Having the feeling that she needed to explain herself in some way, she finally mustered up her courage and said, “Things ended between us not long after I agreed to his pursuit. We’ve never even held hands before!”
Instantly after hearing that, Bao Junyan’s dark and gloomy look eased considerably.
Sensing that the icy atmosphere had somewhat melted, she carefully leaned over to the man. “Really. We had only gone to the cinema twice after I agreed to date him!”
Every day, she had a hectic working schedule due to her holding many part-time jobs. It was why the two had gone out on only two dates after she had agreed to his pursuit. Besides, most high school romances were of the pure type. Things were over between them before they could even summon the courage to hold each other’s hands.
Somehow, he could not stand seeing his wife being so afraid and careful of him. And so, he extended his long arms out and scooped her into his embrace.
“Has your anger subsided?” asked the woman carefully with a lifted head after she settled down properly in his embrace.
From his actions, does it mean that it’s only his guess that we dated before and he didn’t have us investigated?
Regardless, it’s all good as long as he’s not angry!
“From now on, don’t ever be alone with Chenyi again.” If it were other people, he could just simply kick that person away, but alas, the said person was family.
“Okay!” She hastily nodded her head.
He remained silent once again.
Since she did not know what she should say and was afraid of shooting her mouth off, she quietly lay in his embrace instead.
And then…
Just like that, she gradually dozed off, with drool oozing out from the corner of her lips.
Bao Junyan: “…”
His calm gaze yet again became dark and gloomy at the thought of his nephew’s feelings for his wife.
In fact, he had sensed the young chap’s relentless stare earlier, which prompted that abrupt kiss. It was a declaration of dominance in a bid to get his nephew to know his place. However, the lad smashing the glass window was beyond his expectations, and it meant that his nephew’s feelings for his wife went way beyond just fondness.
At the hospital…
That punch had left Gu Chenyi’s fist bloodied, with glass piercing his hand all over, but even so, he felt no inkling of pain at all.
Even though he had imagined countless scenes of his uncle and Mu Huan being more intimate than what they had done earlier, nothing was more stimulating and shocking than what he had witnessed with his two eyes!
It was painful to lose something that one possessed, but it was even more so to see something that you craved so much for becoming someone else’s possession before you could even own it. And that person was somebody whom you cannot stand up against.
That sort of pain was excruciating!
Never had he imagined things to become the way it had when he broke up with her. Having grown up in a loving family to become the cheerful youth that he was, he found that the sudden realization that the girl he liked so much was not what he had expected to be was a blow so stimulating for him that he became deaf and disbelieving of her words.
If Mu Huan was still single and unwed when he meets her again, there was a chance that he would disregard everything and still insist on becoming a couple with her again after a period of cooldown whereby he realized that he could not let go of his feelings for her.
Alas, there was no such thing as “if” in this world.
An opportunity missed was an opportunity lost.
No one would remain waiting for you at the same spot.
After all, not all mistakes could be salvaged!
“What’s wrong, Chenyi?” Lin Qingya ran over toward him, looking worried.
Just as she was about to pick up his hand to check the extent of his injury, he suddenly grabbed her hand. “Let’s go!”
