Chapter 327: Chapter 327 - Which Way from Here?

“Are you telling me it’s because of Ling Wei?” Mu Huan raised an eyebrow.

“I knew you’re a smart cookie,” Long Feiting praised.

Mu Huan: “...”

“Here’s news for you: Ling Wei is returning, and your easy days are up. Maybe if you plead with me now, you won’t die such an ugly death later!”

“Haha...” Mu Huan laughed in his face and then returned to focusing on her experiment.

Given this situation, Long Feiting walked up to her and continued, “Mu Huan, stop haha-ing. No matter what, you are not Ling Wei’s match. Furthermore, Bao Junyan’s grandfather will never accept you. Seriously, your easy days are over!”

“Oh,” Mu Huan remarked casually as she looked into the test tube she was holding.

“Why are you so calm? Aren’t you worried?”

“Worried about...?”

“Worried about being dumped by Bao Junyan!”

“And if I worried, would that help? Would it make him decide not to dump me?” If worrying was of any use, then a person would need only to worry and not do anything else.

Long Feiting: “...”

“But still, you shouldn’t be this calm! Can’t you think of a way to deal with it?”

“Aren’t you a little overly concerned?” Mu Huan turned to look at him.

“I only want to see how you’re going to deal with Ling Wei!” Long Feiting snorted.

“You really have too much time on your hands!” Mu Huan felt that people like him and Huo Yuqi were just wasting their lives away. They led such carefree lives; wouldn’t it be great if they did something meaningful with their time?!

But they spent their time creating trouble.

Long Feiting: “...”

“I’m very busy here. Great Master Long, I beg of you, please go away,” Mu Huan said, lowering her head before starting to change the formula.

Long Feiting: “...”

In the afternoon, when Bao Junyan called Mu Huan and wanted to take her out for a nice meal, Mu Huan declined and told him that she wasn’t going home as she would be in the laboratory carrying out the experiment.

“Why do you need to spend all night doing the experiment?”

“I discovered a new chemical reaction. I want to work overtime to complete it and observe the changes.”

“Did something happen?” Bao Junyan was sensitive enough to have detected that she was in low spirits.

“Nothing.”

“You sound gloomy.”

Mu Huan: “...”

He could tell that without looking, even though she thought she sounded like her normal self.

“It’s nothing, really. I’m just frustrated that the experiment hasn’t made much progress after such a long period of research.”

“This experiment is not so easy to begin with. You don’t have to pressure yourself.”

“Uh-huh,” Mu Huan said and added, “Hubby, I’ve got to go now. Bye.”

After those words, she hung up.

Bao Junyan stared at his cell phone and frowned.

Mu Huan sat slumped on the chair and squeezed her brow. Her head was slightly throbbing.

She wasn’t terribly worried about Ling Wei’s return, because if Bao Junyan really had her in his heart, she would not have to worry about any other women. She wasn’t the sort who would worry or get anxious or start imagining things just after listening to a one-sided story.

The matter that was giving her a headache was how she was going to navigate her own future.

If she didn’t leave Bao Junyan, how was she going to resolve the problem of those things that her grandmother was holding on to?

And was Bao Junyan sincere toward her or was he protective of her purely because of her status as his wife? Or...

“I knew it, you can’t possibly be so calm. Now you are worrying!” Long Feiting said smugly as he observed her sitting there, pinching her forehead and looking distressed.
