Chapter 259: As Long as He Likes Her
Huo Li picked himself up from the ground and charged at Bao Junyan, at the same time hollering in disbelief, “You hit me because of that woman!”
“She is your sister-in-law and my wife. If you don’t like her and want her to look bad, then it’s no different from not liking me and wanting me to look bad,” Bao Junyan said icily.
“What’s this?! What do you mean by this?! Initially, it was because of you that I gave in and gave up Ling Wei! In the end, you didn’t wait for Ling Wei to return and you married this other woman instead! And you’re treating this woman so well! How could you be so unfair to me?!” Huo Li shouted with reddened eyes.
Although Ling Wei was partly at fault, still, he shouldn’t have just dropped her like that!
“This is a warning. The next time you find trouble with your sister-in-law, you’ll find yourself put in confinement.” Bao Junyan did not address his questions.
“I do not accept this sister-in-law! I certainly will not!”
“She doesn’t need your acceptance.” That was his wife; it was enough as long as he liked her.
At the Bao residence that night.
“Hubby, try this. This is one of my best dishes!” Mu Huan picked up some food for Bao Junyan.
“Okay.” Bao Junyan tried it.
Mu Huan looked at him expectantly as she waited for him to finish. With anticipation, she asked, “How is it?”
“Passable.”
Mu Huan was crestfallen. Only passable.
When Bao Junyan noticed her bright expression darken, he seemed to realize something and then added, “It’s really tasty.”
Mu Huan: “...”
That was obviously patronizing.
“I’m not fussy about food.” What he meant was that she didn’t really have to be too bothered with culinary skills. The food could turn out however it did and it wouldn’t matter.
Mu Huan: “...”
He wasn’t fussy about food and felt that her best was only passable.
Her culinary skills were hopeless!
“Hubby, I’ll work hard at this!” she vowed, her head lifted.
Bao Junyan: “...”
“You really don’t have to bother about culinary skills, we have a chef at home.” He did not understand her obsession with culinary skills and her insistence on personally cooking. It was obvious she didn’t enjoy cooking.
“The chef is the chef. As a wife, as a dutiful wife, how could one not be proficient at cooking?!” Being proficient at cooking is the mark of a good wife!
“Good wife?”
“Uh-huh!”
Bao Junyan said, “You?”
“Uh-huh!”
Bao Junyan: “...”
“Oh, has there been any outcome from the investigation concerning Professor Wang?”
“Yes, there is.”
“Who did it? I think it must be a bigshot, but I didn’t offend any big shots!”
“It’s because of me.”
“Because of you?” Mu Huan said in shock. The person’s target was Bao Junyan? Was it his enemy? He couldn’t get the man so he tried to ruin his wife’s reputation to shame him?
This was too despicable!
“Uh-huh.”
“Who’s this person? Why is he targeting you? And why...”
“It’s been dealt with.” Bao Junyan did not intend to provide details in his answers.
Given this, Mu Huan didn’t dare to pursue further.
After a while, she felt compelled to ask, “That person’s out to ruin my name to shame you, so he made Professor Wang trade in his own life?”
This was a dangerous enemy!
“He only made Professor Wang include your name on the list. Professor Wang jumped to his death because, in the past, he had pushed someone off the building and killed the person. The evidence had been turned in and he would have faced a death sentence anyway.”
“What? Professor Wang killed someone?” Mu Huan was shocked. Freaking hell! One really couldn’t judge a book by its cover!
“That girl with depression who supposedly jumped off the building was actually pushed because he was afraid of a possible conspiracy to expose him.”
“So he wasn’t forced to his death, he took his own life?”
“Yes.”
