Chapter 206: No Jealousy Rights

Mu Huan hastily retreated back to the middle of the corridor.

She had just gotten steady on her feet when the man walked out of the room.

Their gazes met with slight awkwardness.

“Hello,” she greeted in an attempt to break the awkward silence.

“Mm.” Mixed feelings arose in Bao Huaiyun as he regarded the bright young lass before him.

He had no hard feelings toward her. On the contrary, he was rather fond of her because he found her to be a pretty decent girl.

Alas, both uncle and nephew have taken a fancy to her.

I… I can only say that she’s a femme fatale!

Not knowing what else to say, she bowed her head and kept her silence.

“I’m leaving. Junyan is inside the room.” He then left right after since he had nothing to say to her as well.

She breathed a sigh of relief at that and headed for the study. The excitement in her, though, had fizzled out.

Being busy at work, Bao Junyan did not even look up and spare her a glance when he heard her enter the room.

This resulted in her, who was always strong, feeling somewhat hurt.

Despite that, she stood still at a corner as she patiently waited for the man to be done with his work.

He had just finished settling the document on hand when he sensed his wife to be feeling downcast. He looked over at her. “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing.”

Bao Junyan: “…”

She’s clearly looking troubled, and yet, she said that she’s fine…

“Did your application fail?”

“How can that be?! How can it not pass when I’ve received guidance from you?! I’ll be an assistant in the R&D unit starting next week!” She’d been so eager to rush home to share this piece of good news with him, but now that she had said it out loud, it did not feel quite the same as she had imagined it to be! She felt no joy in it at all!

She did not know what was wrong with herself, either.

What’s wrong with him having an ex? Can’t he have an ex at his age?

However, at the thought of him requesting for her obedience because he might still love his ex-girlfriend, a stifled feeling almost overwhelmed her right away!

“Why are you unhappy, then?” He did not feel a trace of happiness in her, but rather, her unusually gloomy mood.

“How can I possibly be unhappy? I’m so thrilled about it that I feel like crying!” No, I mustn’t mention the word ‘crying.’ My tears are on the verge of spilling at the mention of it.

Bao Junyan: “…”

“Go on working. I’m feeling slightly hungry, so I’ll go find myself some food!” With that, she made a move to leave.

His long arms extended and pulled her into his embrace, however. “What’s wrong? Why are you throwing a tantrum? What got you upset?”

Her head dipped at that. “It’s nothing.”

Despite her burning desire to ask him questions — like “Who is Ling Wei?”; “Is she your ex-girlfriend?”; “If so, why did you break up with her?”; and “Do you still like her?”— there was no way she could do that.

He would know that she had overheard his conversation with his cousin the moment she started firing those questions, even though she did not deliberately eavesdrop on them.

Besides, considering her situation, she was destined to leave him. She had no right to ask him those questions despite her current status as his wife.

Her heart felt even more stifled than before at the thought of this.

She did not even have the right to be jealous…

The man frowned and was about to say something when she snaked her arms around him and leaned into his embrace.

“Hubby, I’m just feeling moody because of my period cramps…”

Stop dwelling on it!

Life is short, so let’s just live in the present without worries!

Whoever that Ling Wei is, Bao Junyan’s my husband now! Regardless of what may happen in the future, I’m still his wife as of now, so I can hug and own this man just as long as I’m happy!
