Bao Junyan lightly stroked her head and said, “Don’t worry about that, you won’t fail the subject.”
No one was to bully his wife, no matter who it was!
“Really?” Mu Huan’s eyes lit up. Did his words imply that he would help her?
“Yes.”
“Hubby! Thank you!” Mu Huan was moved as she leaned into his embrace.
“Didn’t you say it’s my fault? I’ll solve the problems that I created, then.” For no reason, Bao Junyan didn’t 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, “I 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!”
Bao Junyan reached out and carried her in his arms. “From now on, tell me about these things. Don’t go around slamming yourself into tables like a fool. You’re not very bright to start with, a few more knocks and you’d turn stupid.”
Thinking of how much force she had used to knock her head against the table, Bao Junyan was still nervous.
Mu Huan: “…”
What did he mean she wasn’t very bright to start with! She had always received praise from her teachers ever since she was a young child!
“I do feel that I’m smarter than you!” she said while raising her chin, a look of arrogance on her face.
“What makes you say that?” Bao Junyan raised an eyebrow.
“I’ve found such a clever husband whereas you got yourself a stupid wife. Of course, this means I’m smarter than you!” Call her stupid, would he! He chose her to be his wife, so calling her stupid would be the same as saying he didn’t make a good choice. He was too stupid and got himself a stupid wife!
“I chose you because I knew you were stupid.” Bao Junyan meant that it wasn’t that he made a bad decision, it was merely that he wanted a stupid wife.
Mu Huan: “…”
“And you didn’t find a husband. You were forced to attend my blind date banquet — you were most unwilling to marry me.” 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: “…!!!”
A rare occasion — it was her first time bantering with him and she was checkmated!
“Hubby, go wash up and sleep!” Generation Gap! Three years made a generation gap, which meant that between the two of them, there was a gap of three-and-half generations!
It was impossible to banter with this old man!
“Fine.” Bao Junyan lifted her in his arms and walked toward the bathroom.
Mu Huan: “…!!!”
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 wouldn’t know what bliss was!
Bao Junyan lowered his gaze to look at her ever-changing expression. “What’s on your mind?”
“I’m thinking, how I wish my Big Aunt were here to visit.”
Bao Junyan was surprised. “You have a Big Aunt? Isn’t your mother the only girl in the family?”
Mu Huan: “…!!”
Which dynasty was this antique male species from? He didn’t know what Big Aunt referred to!
Especially when he’s 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?
“What’s the matter?”
Mu Huan instinctively said, “I’m just wondering which dynasty’s antique you are.”
Bao Junyan: “…”
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, “Big Aunt in this context does not refer to my mother’s sister or anything like that. It’s another term for my monthlies.”
