Chapter 4

Mu Yuansheng didn’t think that Meng Ying was stupid.

She could think logically and her mind was clearly sound.

She was more of a love-struck fool rather than a silly fool.

A love-struck fool with an obsession with handsome men.

A few days ago, she had just jumped into a river because of a man.

But after waking up and recovering from her injuries, she easily gave her affection to another man.

It was as if jumping into a river was just a joke to her.

In addition, it was rumored that she was ugly.

Thus, he was really shocked when he saw her face at the hospital.

No one knew who had ruined her reputation by spreading those rumors.

“Since you’re looking at me like that, do you think that I am pretty?”

Meng Ying pointed at her face and smiled.

Mu Yuansheng had never encountered such a shameless woman before.

But he had to admit that she did look pretty.

“As long as you listen to me obediently without kicking up a fuss, I’ll let you go out.”

Mu Yuansheng ignored her question and directly gave a proposition.

Leaving her at home was not necessarily a good thing for him.

She was simply being too straightforward for him to resist.

“Am I pretty?” Meng Ying asked again.

Mu Yuansheng furrowed his brows slightly.

Her watery eyes were filled with anticipation as if she would cry at any moment if he said that she wasn’t pretty.

This was the wife he had married…

Whether she was stupid or crazy, he had to accept it.

“You’re beautiful.”

As soon as his words fell, Meng Ying smiled brightly.

She got up and walked around the long table.

She held Mu Yuansheng’s face and gave him a kiss.

Satisfied, she boisterously stated. “You have good taste!”

“…”

He was stunned for a few seconds before he suddenly pushed her away and jumped up.

He put the back of his hand on the place where she had kissed him and his dark eyes became even darker.

Meng Ying took a few steps back, stunned by his reaction.

Her sharp eyes caught a glimpse of his slightly red ear lobes.

As if she had discovered a new continent to explore—she smiled.

She smiled…

While Mu Yuansheng’s mind turned chaotic.

He even seemed to have no idea what to do.

He couldn’t look at Meng Ying directly.

As a result, he could only turn around to walk upstairs.

Meng Ying looked at his flustered footsteps and her smile deepened.

‘What an innocent man…’

He was definitely her type.

Indeed, dating was much more fun than fighting and killing.

…

Mu Yuansheng sat in front of his computer.

But although his eyesight was excellent, he was unable to read a single word on the screen.

The strange feeling on his face hadn’t disappeared just yet.

The image of that young woman’s charming smile kept appearing in his mind.

He found it hard to breathe.

He picked up his cigarette and lit it.

He took a puff of the cigarette, picked up his phone, and made a call.

“Come to Yu City immediately.”

After finishing a cigarette, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

“Hubby!” Meng Ying held a cup of coffee and called him sweetly.

Mu Yuansheng’s entire body went numb at the sound of her calling him “Hubby”.

Now that every time he saw her, he felt indescribably afraid.

He took a few steps back and tried his best to keep a straight face. “What’s the matter?”

“I’m bored.” Meng Ying put down the cup of coffee and walked towards him.

Frightened, Mu Yuansheng hurriedly retreated. “Stop right there!”

Meng Ying froze immediately.

Her eyes were filled with innocence and curiosity.

Mu Yuansheng gulped and pointed at the sofa beside him. “Go and sit down properly.”

Meng Ying obediently walked to the sofa and sat down.

With her legs together and her hands flat on her lap, she looked like an obedient student.

Mu Yuansheng took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the office desk.

He looked at her motionless body…

She was staring at him as if he had pressed the pause button.

This was the wife that he had taken the initiative to marry.

Her thoughts were different from ordinary people’s, so he should not treat her like a normal person.

After mentally preparing himself, Mu Yuansheng asked, “Do you want to play with your phone?”

Meng Ying shook her head.

“Watch television?”

Meng Ying shook her head again.

Mu Yuansheng asked patiently, “What do you want to do then?”

“You.”

“…” Mu Yuansheng nearly bit his tongue.

What kind of wife did he marry?

He couldn’t help but facepalm.

If this continued, he was afraid that one day he would suddenly have a stroke due to all the blood rushing up his head every time he interacted with this little wife of his.

Meng Ying smiled. “I was just teasing you.”

“…”

Meng Ying urged. “Go ahead and do your job. I’ll just play by myself. I won’t disturb you.”

Mu Yuansheng broke out in cold sweat.

She really did not disturb him.

She just sat there and looked at him without moving.

Her gaze was too intense. Thus, he could not concentrate on his work.

He pinched his forehead and stopped working.

“Do you want to go shopping? I’ll get Auntie Lian to accompany you.”

“No, I’m tired. I want to sleep.”

She did not know if she was not used to her new body yet, or if she was truly tired.

Mu Yuansheng was delighted and said, “Go back to your room and rest, then.”

“I’ll stay right here.” Meng Ying laid on the sofa.

He walked out and stood beside the sofa…

He looked down at her and urged. “Go back to your room.”

Meng Ying was truly tired.

She closed her eyes and shook her head. “I’m not leaving.”

Mu Yuansheng couldn’t completely grasp her temperament.

He had only heard that if someone provoked her, she would beat them up.

When a woman was angry, she would be no weaker than a man.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Yuansheng finally relented.

He took off his jacket and covered her with it.

Meng Ying suddenly opened her eyes and smiled.

Mu Yuansheng panicked and pretended to be calm. “What’s wrong?”

“Why did you marry me?” Meng Ying was curious.

She was just a fool whom others treated as a plaything.

They teased her whenever they liked.

They had even asked her to jump into a river.

Why would someone marry someone as silly as her?

She might be able to sort things out if the other party was an average person.

But the situation didn’t make sense because Mu Yuansheng was an excellent person.

He shouldn’t have married a silly woman.

Surprise flashed across Mu Yuansheng’s eyes.

He replied languidly. “You’re pretty.”

Meng Ying was amused.

She covered her mouth and giggled.

She grabbed his jacket and pulled it over his nose, revealing only a pair of crescent eyes.

“And you’re handsome.”

Mu Yuansheng returned to his chair.

The presence of another person in the study was definitely affecting him.

He looked up at the young woman from time to time.

She was still there, sleeping in peace.

He forced himself not to look at her and focused on his work.

He busied himself until night fell.

He turned off the computer and glanced at the woman on the sofa.

The clothes that were used to cover her had long fallen onto the floor—but she was still asleep.

Why was she being such a sleepyhead all of a sudden?

He walked over and picked up the clothes.

Just as he moved, the woman sat up in shock and stared at him warily.

“You’re awake?”

Meng Ying blinked.

She almost attacked out of instinct.

Fortunately, she stopped her reflexes in time.

Her vigilant eyes instantly turned into sleepy ones as she rubbed her eyes.

“I just woke up from a nightmare. How long did I sleep for?”

“Four hours.”

“No wonder I feel weak all over.” Meng Ying’s shoulders drooped and she pursed her lips.

She tilted her head and smiled at him.

“I might not be able to sleep at night…”

“Hubby—can we do something else tonight?”

Mu Yuansheng’s heart skipped a beat.

Any man would know about the matters between men and women.

He held the shirt in his hands.

He tried not to think about anything sexual. “What do you want to do?”

“Why? Will you do anything with me?” Meng Ying was full of anticipation.
