Bao Junyan lightly stroked her head and said, âDonât worry about that, you wonât fail the subject.â
No one was to bully his wife, no matter who it was!
âReally?â Mu Huanâs eyes lit up. Did his words imply that he would help her?
âYes.â
âHubby! Thank you!â Mu Huan was moved as she leaned into his embrace.
âDidnât you say itâs my fault? Iâll solve the problems that I created, then.â For no reason, Bao Junyan didnât like that she would feel so grateful and thank him so profusely when he solved her problems. He was her husband, and it was his duty to do things for her.
She was overly polite.
Upon hearing this, Mu Huan quickly said, âI was only throwing a tantrum. Why would I blame you, Hubby? If anyone were to be blamed, it would be that Professor Wang! His mind is tinier than a sesame seed!â
Bao Junyan reached out and carried her in his arms. âFrom now on, tell me about these things. Donât go around slamming yourself into tables like a fool. Youâre not very bright to start with, a few more knocks and youâd turn stupid.â
Thinking of how much force she had used to knock her head against the table, Bao Junyan was still nervous.
Mu Huan: â...â
What did he mean she wasnât very bright to start with! She had always received praise from her teachers ever since she was a young child!
âI do feel that Iâm smarter than you!â she said while raising her chin, a look of arrogance on her face.
âWhat makes you say that?â Bao Junyan raised an eyebrow.
âIâve found such a clever husband whereas you got yourself a stupid wife. Of course, this means Iâm smarter than you!â Call her stupid, would he! He chose her to be his wife, so calling her stupid would be the same as saying he didnât make a good choice. He was too stupid and got himself a stupid wife!
âI chose you because I knew you were stupid.â Bao Junyan meant that it wasnât that he made a bad decision, it was merely that he wanted a stupid wife.
Mu Huan: â...â
âAnd you didnât find a husband. You were forced to attend my blind date banquet â you were most unwilling to marry me.â That look on his face was clear saying, You were unwilling to marry such a good catch. What are you if not stupid?
Mu Huan: â...!!!â
A rare occasion â it was her first time bantering with him and she was checkmated!
âHubby, go wash up and sleep!â Generation Gap! Three years made a generation gap, which meant that between the two of them, there was a gap of three-and-a-half generations!
It was impossible to banter with this old man!
âFine.â Bao Junyan lifted her in his arms and walked toward the bathroom.
Mu Huan: â...!!!â
She was asking him to wash up and go to sleep by himself!
In the past, Mu Huan hated having her monthly Big Aunt come around. She found it troublesome, and it got in the way of everything. But now, having her monthly Big Aunt visit was her favorite time of the month, for it meant a blissful holiday!
Seriously, without a contrast, one wouldnât know what bliss was!
Bao Junyan lowered his gaze to look at her ever-changing expression. âWhatâs on your mind?â
âIâm thinking, how I wish my Big Aunt were here to visit.â
Bao Junyan was surprised. âYou have a Big Aunt? Isnât your mother the only girl in the family?â
Mu Huan: â...!!â
Which dynasty was this antique male species from? He didnât know what Big Aunt referred to!
Especially when heâs a married man!
But thinking back, it seemed that every time she talked to Bao Junyan about her period, she had never referred to it as Big Aunt.
But even then, did none of the girls he had ever been in contact with ever mentioned it at all?
And, that one called... Ling Wei, his ex-girlfriend, had she never mentioned it?
âWhatâs the matter?â
Mu Huan instinctively said, âIâm just wondering which dynastyâs antique you are.â
Bao Junyan: â...â
Antique, meaning he was old?
Somehow, having a young wife tended to give him an inexplicable sense of the vicissitudes of life.
Mu Huan thought that perhaps, for once, she could teach him something in life. She solemnly said, âBig Aunt in this context does not refer to my motherâs sister or anything like that. Itâs another term for my monthlies.â
