âDidnât she move in because you were lonely and wanted a companion?â When his wife called to inform him about her sister moving in with them for a while, he did not oppose it as he thought that she might have felt bored being alone at home since he was usually busy with work. However, judging from how her sister behaved earlier, he found that something seemed amiss.
âNo.â
âThen just send her packing.â He disliked having outsiders in his home, so he rarely hired servants as well.
Mu Huan was eager for her sister to leave, too, as it would mean that sheâd have more freedom. Unfortunately, if she were to send her off now, her family would surely seek trouble with her and go back on their words about finding her granny a specialist.
âHubby, just let her live here as she wishes. If you donât like it, just ignore her, alright?â She cast a pitiful look at him.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly. âDonât you know why she wants to live here?â
âI do know about that, but sheâs my sister. Furthermore, since itâs useless chasing her away, we might as well let her stay and give up on her own when she finds that itâs just a futile attempt on her part!â She paused for a little before gazing up expectantly at him. âHubby, youâll make her give up on you, right?â
Bao Junyan actually found it hard to say no to her puppy eyes. Still, he said, âYou might see her as your sister, but she apparently doesnât see you the same way.â
Despite knowing that he was her brother-in-law, Mu Kexin still dared to seduce him outright. It was clear that she had no regard for her sister at all.
âI know. Iâm not so foolish as to treat her as my biological sister. If we donât let her stay, though, I canât account it to my family...â Mu Huan bowed her head.
The man fell into silence for a while before eventually asking, âHow long do you intend to let her stay here?â
âOne month at most!â replied the woman immediately.
A month was enough for her to report back to her grandma.
âFine. Keep in mind, though, that you donât have to suffer grievances. Youâre my wife, and you donât need to put up with othersâ attitudes.â Knowing that her biological mother died young and that she had a stepmother, he did not want to make things difficult for his little wife and her family. Hence, he just reminded her that she need not fear anyone now.
Now that she was his wife, she should not be bullied by her family at all. In fact, the Mus should be sucking up to her.
Feeling touched, she gushed, âNoted. Thank you, Hubby!â
As far as she was concerned, Bao Junyan was truly a good and dependable husband! It was just a pity that she could not rely on him.
As she was preparing to step out of the house after sending him off, she got stopped by her half-sister.
âWhat are you doing?â she asked in irritation.
âTell me everything he likes!â ordered Mu Kexin.
âAre you stupid?â Putting aside the fact that she had no clue about his preferences at all, even if she did know, why would she tell her?
âMu Huan, youâd better not antagonize me!â the other woman growled.
âThatâs what I should be saying to you. Hurry and get lost!â She dismissed her with a wave of her hand.
Mu Kexin instantly got enraged. âIâm telling you, youâd best be useful to me while I need you, or else, youâll suffer real good when Bao Junyan finally finds out how cheap you are!â
Too lazy to put up with her nonsense, Mu Huan simply sped off on her motorbike, leaving her hopping mad half-sister behind.

After fetching Li Meng, they then rushed to their clientâs home.
This said client, Zhao Xuan, found out that her boyfriend was actually a married man only when they were about to get married. Even though it pained her very much to do so, she firmly made the tough decision of breaking up with him.
The problem now was that this scoundrel ex-boyfriend claimed that the marital home, which she paid for wholly with her own money, was his. It was previously bought under his name as she, a non-local, could not buy an apartment using her name.
