Chapter 347: You Will Have to Shoulder All the Blame

Under the watchful eyes of Bao Junyan, Huo Yuqi knew that she wouldn’t be able to avoid the apology. Hence, she gritted her teeth and lowered her head as she went up to the lecturing platform. She said loudly, “I’m sorry, fellow student Li Meng! My behavior yesterday was atrocious! Please forgive me for treating you that way!”

Li Meng didn’t want to put Mu Huan in a difficult position such that she’d have a miserable life in the Bao family later on. Hence, she quickly accepted the apology.

Seeing that Li Meng was so sensible, Huo Yuqi decided that she wasn’t going to create further trouble for the girl.

She went back to her seat after making the apology.

Long Feiting was gleeful over her plight and said, “I told you not to stir trouble with her and you wouldn’t listen. Now do you regret it?!”

Bao Junyan was indeed good to his little wife, even his cousin lost out.

“What’s there to regret? It’s only a word of apology!” Huo Yuqi snorted coldly.

“Fine, you win! From now on, do whatever you want!” Long Feiting looked as though he couldn’t be bothered since she was so capable she could do as she pleased.

Huo Yuqi glared at him angrily and said, “It’s already so embarrassing for me and you’re rubbing salt into my wound! Are you still my good neighbor and partner?!”

He shot back immediately, “I’m not, indeed!”

Huo Yuqi: “…!!!”

After she had fumed for a while…

She looked at Bao Junyan, who was standing on the lecturing platform. She couldn’t help but burst out, “Do you think there’s something terribly wrong with my cousin? He’s so busy that in the past, when we had questions about our homework, he never had the time to help us, but now, he’s come here to teach!”

“There’s indeed something wrong with him!” Long Feiting felt the same way. He’d lived such an immortal-like existence, but he came there to teach. Seriously…!

“And he dotes on that Mu Huan too much. To think that he made me apologize publicly because of her! I’m the cousin that he pampers the most!”

“How could a cousin be as close as a wife? In his old age, he’s married such a young wife. Naturally, he would dote on her excessively.” Long Feiting sounded oddly jealous.

“What do you mean old age?! My cousin’s only 30!” Although Huo Yuqi was angry with Bao Junyan, she wouldn’t allow anyone to say anything bad about him.

“He’s 10 years older than Mu Huan!”

“So what if he’s 10 years older?!”

“Nothing.” Long Feiting did not wish to argue with her. He slumped over his desk lazily.

“I don’t want to go back and see Mu Huan tonight. I want to stay at your place!”

“You want to stay at my place because you know that my brother is coming to visit me today, right?” Long Feiting snorted.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“How much did you spend bribing my brother’s secretary so that she’d tell you about my brother’s every move?”

“I have no idea what you’re talking about!” Huo Yuqi repeated.

“Fine, as you wish.”

“Xiao Huan, didn’t I say I didn’t need an apology from her? What if she hates you even more now that you’ve made her apologize in front of everyone?” Li Meng was worried that Huo Yuqi would stir more trouble for Mu Huan now that she hated her even more

“Furthermore, looking at how arrogant and willful she is, you can tell she’s pampered at home. For sure, she’d lament to her family about how you’ve made her apologize. Her mother is your mother-in-law’s own sister. What if over this matter, she influences your mother-in-law into not liking you?”

If Xiao Huan had planned to leave eventually, then there was really no need to care about all that mother-in-law and aunt-in-law business, but now, she was hoping to be with Bao Junyan for the long haul, so she had to care about these things.

After all, these were the people closest to Bao Junyan, and if they didn’t like Xiao Huan, it would be hard to have a happy marriage.

“You don’t have to worry about all these things. Haven’t I already told you, it was Bao Junyan who asked her to apologize,” Mu Huan said to reassure her.

“But Bao Junyan did that because of you! Hence, you will have to shoulder all the blame!”
