The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO

Chapter 40: Would You Still Want Me When I’m No Longer a Dutiful Wife?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Hearing this surprised her. Was the reason for her grandma’s confidence in her demands because of her special relationship with Bao Junyan’s dad?

But immediately, she quipped, “But this shouldn’t be the case. If my grandma was really on good terms with your father, then she would have used this opportunity to let her own granddaughter be selected instead of forcing me to attend the ceremony!”

Which was the cause of all these troubles now.

“So you were forced to attend my matchmaking ceremony?” Was this the reason for her good behavior that night, where she sat quietly in a corner, displaying no effort to fight for his affection? That was to say that she was not a quiet and respectful girl by nature, and she was merely behaving in that manner because she was reluctant to come in the first place. Was that the case?

She looked down. “...”

What the f*ck! She had voiced out the suspicion in her mind unconsciously!

He pulled her to sit on his lap, then his slender finger tipped her chin up so she could look him in the eyes. “Are you so afraid of me because you didn’t wish to marry me?”

Mu Huan: “...”

How was she going to answer him?

He did not press her for an answer. Realizing that she might have been forced to attend his bride-picking ceremony, he asked, “Do you want to get back at them for what they did to you?”

She deliberated for a while and decided that he should not get involved. “I’d like to settle my problems with my family by myself...”

His eyes turned darker and more pensive when he heard that. “Alright, but you must remember this: as long as I’m around, you don’t have to be afraid of anyone.”

She was touched by his words. “Thank you, Hubby.”

He was one with a lofty status, yet he was willing to respect her and even to be her support.

She knew there was nothing she could do to repay his kindness except to safeguard his chastity!

She would not allow Mu Kexin to desecrate him in any way!

Hence, they returned to the initial topic once more.

“Hubby, what do you think of your father’s relationship with my grandma? Can this relationship force you to marry Mu Kexin?”

“Why do you ask this all of a sudden? Did your grandma say something to you?”

“It’s not my grandma but Mu Kexin. She was so self-assured when she said that, which got me worried.” She looked down as she spoke.

“There’s no need to worry. This is not possible.” No one could force him to marry anyone he did not want to.

“Then, what kind of relationship does your father have with my grandma?” What kind of a strange relationship was this?

“I did question my father once, but he didn’t give me an answer.” When he registered his marriage with Mu Huan, his father had told him that since the girl was from the Mu family, he would accept the arrangement.

He then asked his dad if he had some dealings with the Mu family, to which his father replied that he knew Matriarch Mu.

However, when he decided to probe further, just so he’d know how to treat his wife’s family in the future, his father kept mum and only reminded him to treat his wife well.

Mu Huan: “...”

The only clue had gone cold now.

He reached out to caress her head. “You don’t have to worry about this. As long as you remain a dutiful wife, you’ll keep your status as Mrs. Bao.”

His only requirement for her was to be obedient and dutiful.

“Then, would you still want me when I’m no longer a dutiful wife?” If this was the case, then she had to be prepared to create havoc when it was time for her to leave him!

“I’ll teach you how to be dutiful.” His life had been nicely planned out, and one of the rules was to have an obedient wife. This rule must not be overturned.

Mu Huan: “...”

Does that mean that creating a din may not work?

“What if I have an affair outside?” Since they were already on this topic, she might as well ask a few more questions for future planning.

“Do you want to die?”

“How about smoking?”

“Do you want to die?”
