“What happened?” He could sense her astonishment even across the phone line. 

  “I…… I didn’t expect you to return this early from your work trip.” She decided that she would inquire about his return date in the future to avoid rude surprises like this! 

  “The business was resolved earlier than anticipated.” Somehow, he had a feeling that his sweet wifey seemed to delight in his overseas trips and tended to lament that he returned too early. 

  “I’m about to leave the library now. Let me go to the washroom. Hubby, can you wait for me at the entrance, please?” 

  “Alright.” 

  The moment his word fell upon her ear, she hung up the call, put on a surgical mask, and ran toward her bestie. Upon extending her arm to grab the hoodlum who was about to punch Li Meng, she flipped him over her shoulder and sent him crashing to the ground in one swift move. 

  Her perfectly-coordinated move was so suave that it sent the bystanders gasping in admiration! 

  She drew close to her friend’s ear and whispered, “My hubby is on campus now so I have to go. You better retreat too!” 

  “Bao Junyan is here in the school?” Her bestie’s eyes widened with shock and disbelief. 

  “Yes.” She hummed a reply before kicking out another hooligan. After that, all she could think of was to rush to the main building. 

  Her partner hastily retreated as well in case a mob turned up. 

  What the two did not know was that someone had secretly recorded the scene of her fighting. 

  The library inside the university was located on the northwest while she was on the southeast side. Although she was considered to be inside the school compound, it would take a while for her to reach the library from her current location. The excuse of relieving diarrhea in the toilet would not work as well since it probably would not take as much time as she had been wasting now. Realizing that she was running out of time, she scrambled up a tree and leaped across a wall from a hanging tree branch. This would at least save her some time. 

  As she jumped off from the wall, she removed her mask and cap and tossed them into a rubbish bin nearby. After that, all she could do was to dash toward the library in front of her with whatever remaining strength she had. 

  While the man was walking toward the library, he saw a dash of white flashing across his eyes. The speed at which this person was running could rival that of a 100-meter sprinter! 

  This, though, was not what had bothered him. 

  What he was concerned about was that the shadowy sprinter reminded him very much of his wife! 

  The man had excellent eyesight, so even though the sky had turned dark, he was able to catch a good look at this passing figure from a distance. 

  By the time he reached the library entrance, she was there already, waiting for him. 

  Although she had stopped panting, she was dripping with perspiration. 

  When she saw him, she immediately greeted him with a smile. “Hello, Hubby.” 

  “Why are you perspiring?” Her white tee was thoroughly wet, revealing the singlet that she was wearing underneath today. And so, whenever he saw people passing by, he would use his broad frame to block their view of her, in case they were to glance at what he was privy to. 

  “I ran because I couldn’t wait to see you,” she said with her head lowered, looking guilty. 

  “You ran down the stairs?” 

  “Yeah, I didn’t want you to wait long.” Her head hung even lower this time. 

  “Then why did I see you running in from outside?” 

  She jerked her head up abruptly, staring at him with a stunned expression. 

  “.……” 

  It confirmed his suspicion; it was her that he saw. 

  “Hubby…… I…… I……” How did he manage to catch sight of me? I didn’t see him at all! 

  “Yes?” He waited for her explanation. 

  After stammering for a pretty long time, she finally replied, “I came from somewhere away from the library. I was afraid that you might think that I was skiving if I told you the truth, so I said that I was at the library.”

  Her answer made the man frown. Have I unconsciously been too strict with her to the point that she’s afraid that I would mistakenly assume her to be skiving off school? She’s a college student already, though. 

  Mistakenly assuming his frown as a sign of his anger, Mu Huan hastily stepped forward to grab his arm. “I’m sorry, Hubby…… I’m sorry……” 

  I shouldn’t have taken up this case! Now, I’m caught red-handed! 

  “H-Hubby…… don’t get angry……” She batted her big eyes in a furious attempt to act cute. 

  “Let’s head back home.” Bao Junyan had never had any associations with such a delicate lass like Mu Huan before, so he was at a loss on how to respond to his wife’s cute affections, especially since he was not angered in the first place. Hence, he wanted to go back home first before they talk. 

  Over the years of being in a high position and possessing a high status, he had developed the habit of projecting a stern and indifferent look that emanated authority on that handsome face of his even when he was not angry at all. 

  Hence, she mistakenly assumed that the man was still sulky. 

  Thinking that hugging his arms was useless, she then changed tactics and proceeded to hug him around his waist instead. She raised her head and pleaded, “Don’t be angry anymore, alright?” 

  “I’m not.” 

  “But you’re clearly mad right now!” If not, why does he look and sound so frigid?! 

  “.……” 

  He was truly not mad at all. 

  “Please don’t be angry anymore, Hubby…… I know my mistake. I really do……” Upon recalling that her husband did not return home for two whole days the last time he blew his top, she got really afraid that he would get angry again, and so, she was desperate to act cute and apologize to him. 

  Her pestering, however, only intensified his desire to return home. As such, he lifted her up and proceeded to leave. 

  The abruptness of his action gave her quite a shock. She thought that he was intending to hit her. 

  It was only after she realized that he was only carrying her so they could leave that she loosened up. 

  Mu Huan could feel his taut body when she pressed herself tightly against his back. The thought that he was suppressing his anger frightened her into hastily reaching out to stroke him on the chest. “Please simmer down, Hubby. I really know my mistake now.” 

  Stroke by stroke, she lightly moved her weak, little hand against his chest. The sensation of her actions was so provoking that his eyes became dark and got laced with desire. 

  “Stop your actions!” he coldly chided. 

  It instantly rendered her still. How scary…… He looks terrifying when he gets angry…… 

  Bao Junyan’s car was parked at the school’s parking lot. 

  Even after boarding the car, the man did not let go of his wife. He had a cold look on his face and had no intention of speaking. 

  This frightened the woman in his embrace so badly that she dared not to breathe deeply. 

  It was only ten minutes later, when the car drove into a villa, that she broke the silence. 

  “Hubby, what are we doing here?” Didn’t he say we’re returning home? Why are we here, then? Is it inconvenient to hit me at home, so he brought me to a desolate place instead? 

  “Going home.” 

  “But…… we don’t live here.” 

  “Our home’s here now.” 

  Mu Huan was correct in her assumption that her husband would surely not let her stay in her school’s dorm. He had, in fact, long tasked his men to prepare a place near her college and was intending to send her to school on her first day and bring her back to their new home that night. Due to the abrupt company issues, he had flown off before he could get the chance to tell her about the new place. Never did he expect, upon his return, that she would have already moved into the school’s dorm. 

  She’s not at all conscious of the fact that she’s a married woman. 

  “.……” 

  What did he mean by that? 

  She dared not to put up a protest when it was time to alight, and the man carried her down. 

  Nevertheless, she could not help but be envious of his strength. He seemed so relaxed and nonchalant despite him carrying her. 

  Her eyes then widened in surprise upon spotting the butler, who came out to greet them. Why’s the butler here? 

  By ‘our home’s here now,’ did he mean we’ve moved and will be staying here now? 

  How am I gonna use the excuse of our home being far away from school from now on?! 

  “Hubby……” She shifted a little, intending to speak with him about this matter. 

  “Stop fidgeting!”


  The Days of Being in a Fake Marriage with the CEO    

  Chapter 137: Hubby Looks Terrifying When He Flies into a Rage (2)

  The sight of Bao Junyan heading straight upstairs with Mu Huan in his arms sent the butler grinning cheerfully. 

  Once upstairs, the woman was carried to the bed before she could even say anything. 

  “Hu—” As soon as she opened her mouth, his lips swooped down on it and seized the opportunity to inhale her words and sweetness. ……

  Everyone knew only when love started, but no one knew when love ended. 

  And so, by the time Mu Huan woke up, it was already the next morning and her husband had left for work. 

  For someone who was always burning the midnight oil, he could still wake up so early the next day to go to work! She could not help feeling envious of the man’s excellent stamina! 

  How many hours of sleep a day could he possibly have? Despite so, he’s still able to work so hard at the office. He’s no doubt a god with his extraordinary capabilities! 

  For someone who exercises regularly, I already can’t match up to his stamina, let alone other frail and delicate girls. 

  I wonder, in the future…… 

  As she wondered about the type of woman Bao Junyan would find for himself after her departure, her mind strongly resisted against the idea of him liking and becoming a married couple with someone else. 

  She was dumbstricken when she pulled herself out of her thoughts. The fact that she was unable to even tolerate the very thought of it was beyond her expectations…… 

  I’ve all along been preparing to leave the man, so why can’t I bear to even think of the scene of my departure now? What’s wrong with me? 

  Why am I behaving this way? 

  I— 

  Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Li Meng. 

  “Xiao Huan, come quickly! We have Professor Wang for our first class of the day. He’s notorious for being strict in attendance and he loathes tardy students. You’ll be a goner if he sets his eyes on you!” Her friend’s frantic and urgent voice rang from the other end of the line. 

  She got a huge shock when she glanced at the watch at her bedside. Now was simply not the time for her to be wallowing in her sorrows, and so, she hurriedly jumped out of bed to go wash up. By the time she headed downstairs, the butler was already waiting for her with her breakfast in his hands. 

  “Madam, the driver’s waiting outside. Please consume your breakfast in the car for today.” He looked at her with a smile. 

  “Thank you!” She accepted her breakfast with much gratitude. 

  Being someone who could not tolerate hunger, going without breakfast was a no-go for her. 

  “You’re welcome, Madam.” He then respectfully sent her off. 

  Mu Huan started making a mad dash to her classroom the moment she alighted from the car at the school gate, but alas, she still arrived late…… 

  Not only that, but she was even stopped by Professor Wang at the doorway. 

  “Mu Huan. This year’s top scholar for the college entrance exams.” 

  She plastered an awkward and flattering smile on her face at that. She really did not mean to be late, but…… 

  “Being good at studying doesn’t mean that you can show up late to classes! Do you think you don’t need to study hard in college anymore? I hate students like you the most!” 

  “.……” 

  It’s my fault for being tardy, but…… in what way am I not studying hard? It’s what I know best! 

  “I’ll deduct two points from you as a warning for today. I expect you to abide by the school rules from now on and not let your hard work in high school go to waste.” As he spoke, he proceeded to pen down the deduction of two points under her name in his attendance booklet. 

  In Yun University, every subject’s professors were responsible for the students’ character score, which was a total of 12 points. Once all the points had been deducted, it would mark the student’s failure of that particular subject, regardless of his or her exam performances. 

  “Professor Wang……” She was frantic to say something in her defense. 

  I might’ve arrived late to class, but surely a deduction of two points is too much for a punishment? Wasn’t it rumored that Professor Wang gives a warning for the first offense and deducts only a point on the second offense? 

  “Go to your seat. Lots of your classmates’ time has already been wasted on you.” The man then put the attendance booklet away. 

  Knowing any explanation given now would just be a lost cause, she could only chalk it up to her bad luck.
