The sight of his younger cousin looking so solemn and sullen stunned Bao Huaiyun. A question arose. “Have you fallen in love with your wife?”

With them being raised and taught by Bao Junyan’s father and them having close brotherly ties, their views had always been the same thus far. The younger one would usually agree with the solutions the older one deemed good, but it was not the case here now.

The former had even got crossed.

This was something that had never happened in years.

The abnormality in his behavior got the latter thinking that the reason he shot down his solution was that he might have developed feelings for his wife and saw her truly as his wife.

Meanwhile, Bao Huaiyun’s question had had the heart of the lass, who was standing outside by the door, suspending in the air!

H-Has he… fallen in love with me?

Nervousness surged within her in a way she never felt before! Her heart was about to explode from the tension of it!

Just when her heart was about to explode from nervousness and expectation, she heard a voice saying, “It’s Chenyi’s fault for being unable to let go of his feelings for Xiao Huan, so he should be the one bearing this responsibility. Not Xiao Huan! I’ve never considered getting a divorce once I got married. If you’re worried about Chenyi, you’ll have to find some other way to get him to give up!”

Bao Junyan did not give his cousin a straight answer.

He had never considered anything about love and such. All he knew was that he was very satisfied with this little wife of his and she was the only wife that he wanted, so he would never end his marriage with her.

Mu Huan: “…”

Should I be happy or sad about this?

She recalled him once telling her that he did not get married to have a divorce later and that she would get to keep her status as Mrs. Bao as long as she remained a dutiful wife.

Back then, they were newlyweds who had no feelings for each other, and he could not even recognize her when he met her.

He said that back then and he says that even now…

This means that my place in his heart hasn’t changed at all…

In other words, his feelings for me remain unchanged…

“Junyan, do you only think that Chenyi should bear the responsibility because it shouldn’t be your innocent wife leaving or is it that you’re reluctant for her to leave? I won’t say anything more if you have feelings for her. However, if it’s just you finding her to be an innocent party in this, then we can just give her more compensation!”

Bao Huaiyun needed to ascertain his cousin’s feelings for his wife.

If he was truly in love with her, then he would no longer request for them to get a divorce. Otherwise, money would be sufficient as compensation if he was only sorry for her.

Hearing that, Mu Huan’s heart once again got suspended in the air!

She felt like she was on a roller coaster ride with the rise and fall of her emotions!

“All you need to know is that I’ll never get a divorce with Xiao Huan.” With a dip of his head, Bao Junyan busied himself with his work again. It was a clear indication that the conversation was over.

“Will you not get a divorce with her even if Ling Wei returns?” asked his older cousin.

The hand he was using to sign the document faltered a little at that, but he remained mum.

Knowing that he would not be able to get an answer from him, the older man said, “I’ll try my best to advise Chenyi, though you should know that one desires for what one can’t have, let alone with them having to face each other daily. Regardless, I’m hoping that you’ll give more thoughts to my earlier proposal.”

…

Ling Wei? Who is she? Is she Bao Junyan’s ex? If so, it seems like he’s very fond of her. Why did they break up, then?

Just when she was wondering about all these, she saw Bao Huaiyun heading toward the doorway.
