Chapter 189: How Heartwrenching

Every day, he would wake up wondering if he would be able to see his Xingxing that day and what gift he would give her when he found her.

Now that he had finally found her, though, he had no desire to give her the best things in the world. His Xingxing was not what he thought her to be.

His life, hence, became boring and meaningless without that sense of antic.i.p.ation and the drive to do something. He did not even have any interest in anything else other than messing with Mu Huan.

Unfortunately for him, his plan to give her a hard time was thwarted with her ident.i.ty as Bao Junyan’s wife. Now, he could only patiently wait for another opportunity to strike.

Right then, just when the bored chap was about to doze off on the artificial mountain he was leaning on, he suddenly heard this:

“Xiao Huan, why didn’t you take that mission last night? It has a generous payout!”

“I need to stay low for now.” Her heart ached at the thought of her rejecting money, but the attention her husband was paying to her now was at its peak because of what Long Feiting had exposed about her. She, therefore, needed to keep out of trouble for a while.

“What’s wrong? Has your husband detected something?”

“Not exactly, but I think it’s better for me to behave myself for a while. What’s more, last night’s mission involved rescuing a hostage from a mob. I’ll surely have to fight my way through to reach the hostage, and my husband has made it clear that he doesn’t like girls who can fight,” said Mu Huan with a sigh.

Such highly-paid missions that involved only fighting were totally up her alley, but…

She could only reject that mission with much reluctance as she recalled her husband’s words.

Li Meng: “…”

Bao Junyan doesn’t like girls who can fight, and yet, Xiao Huan is exactly the type of person who won’t waste her breath on talking when she can just resort to violence.

What’s up with them…?

“Won’t that limit the type of missions you can take on from now on?”

“We’ll see how it goes.” Mu Huan felt her rejection of such missions was unfeasible for her in the long run. Things would get busy for her once she’d entered the scientific research department, so she would have little spare time to take on missions and, as such, she would only be able to take on the high-risk and high-paying ones.

These missions, oftentimes, involved fighting.

“You won’t be able to take on any missions as time goes by. I have the feeling that Bao Junyan’s attention on you will only get greater!” Li Meng reckoned that the man’s concern for his wife would only increase along with the time they spent together.

“Sigh. How vexing! Say, why doesn’t he like girls who can fight? If he isn’t so against them, then it won’t matter if he finds out about it. Alas…” He’s h.e.l.l-bent against girls who can fight and who wear thick makeup, and I’ll have to apply thick makeup when I take up those missions. Otherwise, I’ll be in hot soup if my enemies recognize me.

“Given his status, he surely dislikes girls who fight and cause troubles. Look at all those prominent figures. Whose wife isn’t of the dignified, n.o.ble, and elegant type?!”

Mu Huan thought about it. “That’s true.”

“Sigh…” She could not help letting out another sigh.

My personality just happens to be the type that he dislikes the most.

How… heartwrenching it is!

Unable to bear seeing her friend in such a listless state, Li Meng said, “Let’s not talk about such vexing matters already. Say, do you feel good hearing Long Feiting apologize to you in public? Everyone in the school is now talking about this matter! The girls’ favorable impression of him has plummeted by 50% because of this!”

With their campus beau having a bad taste to chase after that sort of girl from another school and committing such a destructive act on another student, there was no way the female population could be as fanatic about him as before, regardless of how handsome he was.
