nOne should know that despite his unrivaled, god-like appearance, the man did not have the magnanimity of a god. In fact, he was as cold-blooded, heartless, and vicious as rumored. Hence, she could not help but worry that he might have seen through her disguise.

nNow, however, she could finally put her worries aside.

nThe carefree woman cheerfully hummed a tune as she bent down to run the bath for her husband.

nBao Junyan found his little wife swaying along to the beat of the song when he entered the bathroom.

nWhen the sound of flowing water ceased after she turned off the tap, she suddenly sensed that something was amiss and instinctively looked past her shoulder.

nShe received quite a rude shock when she noticed him standing behind her. She hastily bowed her head. “T-The bath is ready.”

nWith the earlier incident on her conscience, she did not dare to face him, and so, she took her leave right away after saying that.

nThe man knitted his brows slightly. The fact that she was overly timid aside, he was generally quite satisfied with this new wife of his. She would always hang her head low when speaking to him and, like a frightened little bunny, would want to escape at the sight of him.

nAs she passed by him, he reached out to pull the woman into his embrace.

nShe suddenly became nervous.

nUnder the light, a blush bloomed across her fair and clean face out of her shyness.

nThat rosy face instinctively reminded him of that unknown woman with thick makeup whom he encountered at the elevator earlier. He had thrown his coat away because of that makeup stain left behind by her. “Don’t you wear thick makeup in the future!”

nHis wife was better off looking all natural and clean.

nMu Huan: “…!”

nWhat did he mean by that?

nWhat’s his reason for saying this?

nDid he…

n…

nThe next day, when Mu Huan got awakened by her grumbling stomach, she found the space beside her had long been emptied.

nShe then nonchalantly got up to wash herself.

nShe could still recall herself crying the entire day when she woke up in this place for the first time.

nShe had never imagined that her marriage would turn out like this— that she would need to sacrifice her happiness just to live on.

nAnd so, she broke down badly in tears that day.

nSo what if she had never expected such a life? Also, what could crying do?

nIt helped nothing at all.

nFor a long time now, she was no longer the Mu family’s little princess who was showered with love by her parents. No one would ever feel heartache for her or get anxious over her tears and help her resolve everything anymore.
