nIt was because Mu Huan’s granny was in her grandma’s hands. If it weren’t for those unexplainable “evidence” about her after she was drugged by her grandma, she would have taken the opportunity to say that it was because of her granny.

nBecause then, Bao Junyan could help her out and bring her granny out of the Mu family. No one would bully them when they were under his wings.

nBut there were still those things.

nWith those things, she would have to leave Bao Junyan and not rely on him. She couldn’t even let him take notice of her granny.

nIf anything happened, her plan would be for naught.

nShe would not be able to bear the consequences.

nShe lowered her head and said, “In the beginning, I was forced. But I realized that since my granny and I have not been living well as I am not favored, things will probably be different if I attended your matchmaking session and ended up marrying you…”

n“If you married me because you wanted to live a good life, then why are you not willing to spend my money?”

n“It’s because… because with the status of Mrs. Bao, I have already received many benefits. I am afraid that if I were to spend your money as well, you will not like me and will not want me to be your wife any longer.” Mu Huan lowered her head even further.

nBao Junyan: “…”

nHe originally wanted to find someone who was docile, obedient, not clingy, and not ambitious to marry as his mother was forcing him to because he was of age. This way, he could continue focusing on his work. But now, even though she was obedient, someone who knew her place, contented, not clingy at all, and not ambitious, he was indescribably jittery and in a bad mood.

nAlso, they clearly did not marry because they were in love. She was still young and not in a rush to get married, but she did marry him. He knew what the reason was. But for her to say it out loud like that still made him feel unhappy.

nBao Junyan did not say anything else, leaving the atmosphere still and stifling.

nJust when Mu Huan was unable to take it any longer…

n“Go out,” Bao Junyan said.

n“Hubby, I…” She couldn’t anger him either.

nBut…

nBao Junyan had already sat at his desk and begun working.

nSeeing this, Mu Huan did not know what else she could say. Therefore, she could only leave the study room.

nAfter she had left, Bao Junyan suddenly couldn’t absorb a single word from the document he was holding.

nFinally, he simply stood up and went out.

nAfter Bao Junyan had left, Mu Huan left the Bao household as well.

nLi Meng, who was currently holed up at home playing video games, was stunned to see Mu Huan after she heard a knock on the door.

n“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be going out today?”

n“Bao Junyan is angry with me and he left. So I came out as well.”

n“What happened? Why is Deity Bao angry with you?”

n“He asked me…” Mu Huan roughly explained the entire situation that happened earlier.

n“Why didn’t you tell him that it’s because of your granny and let him help you get your granny out? This way, wouldn’t you feel more reassured?” Li Meng asked confusedly.

n“Because the Mu family still has those pieces of evidence against me. I have to leave. In fact, I have to leave earlier!” Bao Junyan was too astute. As time went on and they began to interact more, there would be no way she could continue pretending.

n“Even if you want to leave, your granny will still be safer with Bao Junyan than with your grandma!”

n“My granny is safe only with me. That’s the only way I will feel the most assured!” If Mu Huan had to leave before she could be strong enough to fight against her grandma, she only had one way to do so.

nShe would have to hand that unexplainable evidence to Bao Junyan and have Bao Junyan not want her anymore. He would explode in rage and destroy the Mu family.

nLeaving her grandma unable to control her any longer.
