Chapter 176: I LIke Whatever You Give Me

Cocking a brow at her sarcasm, he retorted, “You must be looking for Li Ze.”

A premonition dawned upon her that made her narrow her eyes.

Just as she thought.

“Li Ze is not in the dormitory. He’s on the plane flying to another country. By the time he gets back, your penalty will have been announced in the school as well.”

He gave an audacious laugh before walking away.

As Mu Huan saw him departing before her eyes, she was so mad that she almost wanted to dash up to him and give him a good thrashing. But she would expose her real identity by doing that; hence, she swallowed her pride and suppressed her anger.

“Xiao Huan, what do we do now?” Without Li Ze, where else could they look for leads?

Mu Huan suddenly thought of something. “Let’s check all the surveillance footage that the school has!”

The surveillance footage inside the school office might have been deleted, but that did not mean that the footage from other places within the school was deleted as well. If they were to retrace the whereabouts of Long Feiting and Li Ze within the last two days, surely, they would be able to find some leads!

At the hospital…

When Gu Chenyi came to visit Bao Junyan and did not see Mu Huan around, he asked his uncle, “Uncle, has Xiao Huan returned here yet?”

Although the boy had sworn never to care about her anymore, he could not help worrying over her when he got wind of the news that she had been penalized by the school. It was getting late now, and yet she had not returned to her husband, so what was she doing, then?

The man looked up from his work files and replied nonchalantly, “She’s your aunt-in-law. You have to address her as your aunt-in-law from now on.”

The boy’s heart went into turmoil at his uncle’s words. Just as he was about to say something, Mu Huan appeared.

“Hubby, take a look at what I’ve bought for you!” She was full of smiles as she chirped happily to Bao Junyan until she noticed that Gu Chenyi was also in the room.

Her voice trailed off at the sight of her former boyfriend. Even though she no longer felt anything for him, she was still uncomfortable with the fact that her former lover was now her nephew. She really didn’t want to see him now!

“What’s nice?” The man put down the work in his hands and looked at her. Doting and indulgence could be seen on his normally frigid face.

“I’ve brought you the famous pork rib soup from our school! This is especially good for you in your condition!” She placed the food before him.

Actually, the man already had his dinner. But he would never reject the good intention of his wife.

After she scooped the broth into a bowl for him, he magnanimously picked up the bowl to drink from it.

“Uncle, this is food from our school canteen. I have to let you know that our canteen doesn’t follow a strict disinfecting protocol. Besides, this is a takeout box, which is unhygienic!” He could not stand the sight of the daily loving exchange between the couple and deliberately tried to sow discord.

He knew his uncle was a cleanliness freak who’s disdainful of takeouts, especially cheap food like this.

His words were an abrupt reminder of her husband’s compulsion toward cleanliness. This kind of cheap and nice canteen food might appeal to her, but not for someone like him with an aristocratic background. Hence, she instinctively reached out to remove the food from in front of him. “Sorry, Hubby, I forgot that you don’t like takeouts.”

As he looked up, his lips slowly hooked into a charming smile. “I like whatever you give me.”

Mu Huan turned speechless.

WTF! My heart is about to explode with love!

On the other hand, Gu Chenyi was rooted to the spot, clenching his fists.

Just then, Bao Junyan spoke again. “Chenyi, it’s getting late. You better go back now.”

He knew his uncle was chasing him away, but he did not want to leave just yet. “Uncle, it’s not convenient for you to move around now. Let me stay over tonight to look after you!”

“It’s not necessary. Having your aunt-in-law here will be sufficient.”

“Aunt-in-law is just a girl. Taking care of you may be too demanding for her when you have a problem walking right now. Aunt-in-law can go back home while I take care of you instead!” He was not going to let their relationship get better over time!
