Having a Husband Really Is Pretty Great (*^▽^*)

After finally seeing Fang Yao off, Lü Yan spent the whole trip home practicing her poker face. Next time she thought about how she would die, she was determined not to get so worked up.

Lü Yan: ٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶

Then again, it was exciting. At least she knew ahead of time how she would die. She could avoid it and try to live to a hundred.

At that thought, Lü Yan burst out laughing.

(^▽^)

"Mom, Dad, I think our little sister's gone crazy. We should take her to the hospital." Second Brother Lü sounded disgusted, but his hand went straight to Lü Yan's forehead.

Lü Yan slapped his hand away. "You're the crazy one! Hmph. You're just jealous of me."

Second Brother Lü watched her run upstairs, then pointed at himself in disbelief. "I'm jealous of her? What's there to envy about someone who does nothing all day?"

The Lu Family fell silent and shrugged. Who knew what the girl was thinking?

Everyone else left, leaving Second Brother Lü questioning his whole existence. What were those looks supposed to mean? That he'd brought it on himself?

Fang Yao had the system scan itself for bugs. Lü Yan's reaction was too strange. The indicator kept spinning until Fang Yao's eyes ached from watching it. Then it stopped.

The system displayed: No bugs detected. Operating normally. Host, please stop letting your imagination run wild.

The system's snide remark didn't bother Fang Yao. She was delighted to have her safety confirmed.

Fang Yao ignored whatever Lü Yan and the others were discussing. In such a good mood, she called Bo Hanmo, and even the ringing sounded lovely to her ears.

"Hello, Bo Hanmo."

Bo Hanmo saw "Wife" on his phone screen and gestured for everyone to be quiet.

"Yaoyao, are you having fun? Good, that's what matters. Nothing's wrong. I'm out with a few friends. Want to come over and meet them?"

Lü Mu and the others had never heard Bo Hanmo speak so gently. They all sprayed out their drinks.

Lü Mu reacted fastest, turning his head to spray off to the side at the last second and averting disaster.

"Cough, cough! Is that really Bo Hanmo? Is he possessed? And what does he mean, 'meet us'?"

Bo Hanmo's gentle voice had given Lü Mu goose bumps. He stared at him as if he'd seen a ghost.

Gong Luo gave Lü Mu a disdainful look and raised his glass. "What's so surprising? You're disgracing yourself as the Lu Family heir. Of course he means we'll meet Mrs. Bo. What makes you think she'd come here just to meet you?"

Lü Mu smiled awkwardly. That did make sense. "Wait. Are you calling me full of myself?"

Congratulations. You got it.

Yang Xing and the others were used to the pair bickering. Xi Yu finally stepped forward and pulled them apart.

Fang Yao shuddered and held the phone away from her ear. Had Bo Hanmo eaten something strange today? Why did he sound like that?

Bo Hanmo -_-||: It's called being gentle, not strange.

"Bo Hanmo, please talk normally. I'm a little tired today, so let's do it another time. Oh, and you still haven't sent me my share of the profits. You're not planning to keep my money for yourself, are you?"

If she hadn't been around other people, Fang Yao would have picked her nose and crossed her legs. Bo Hanmo was still going on and on, so she cut him off.

She was tired. She just wanted her money and to go home and rest. Parties weren't for her. She belonged sprawled on the sofa or in bed.

"I'll transfer it now. Don't spend it recklessly, or I'll confiscate it."

Fang Yao dug at her ear as if she hadn't heard him. "Huh? What did you say? Are you trying to start a rebellion?"

Fang Yao took a deep breath. This husband of hers still needed training. She had always been the one to confiscate Bo Hanmo's secret stash, and she always would be. He had no right to confiscate her money.

Bo Hanmo truly thought Fang Yao hadn't heard him, so he repeated himself. "I said, don't spend your share recklessly, or I'll confiscate it."

The moment Bo Hanmo said it the first time, Lü Mu and the others knew he was in trouble. Now he'd repeated it, and they were too late to stop him. Seeing how pleased he looked with himself, they all covered their faces. He was beyond saving. He could look forward to kneeling on a washboard when he got home.

Fang Yao smiled. Bo Zhe and the others saw it and instinctively drew their necks in. That smile is terrifying. Mom, save us!

This time, Fang Yao really did cross her legs. In an ominous voice, she said, "Bo Hanmo, do you want to break up, or do you want to take back those last two sentences? I really didn't hear you! Well?"

Bo Hanmo held the phone away from his ear. Hearing her roar through it, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. His throat went dry.

Fang Yao: [○･｀Д´･ ○]

Bo Hanmo: ▄█▀█● I surrender.

Bo Hanmo swallowed. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Lü Mu and the others straining to listen, so he went straight into a private room.

Lü Mu smacked his lips. "Aw, he went inside. Now we can't hear anything."

Gong Luo rolled his eyes at Lü Mu. His eagerness to watch the show had been so obvious that Bo Hanmo had gone inside.

Still, Gong Luo rubbed his chin. "We heard plenty. Looks like Bo Hanmo's finally met his match."

Shao Xian gave them a speechless look. "Met his match? More like he started turning into a henpecked husband the moment he got married. Tsk. After that performance, I'd bet anything he went in there to beg for mercy."

Shao Xian tipped his chin toward the private room. The door was shut tight, so he reluctantly looked away.

Xi Yu propped up his chin and idly traced circles on the table. "Anyone with eyes could tell that. Anyway, what does Fang Yao look like? I was out of town last time and couldn't make it back."

"She's gorgeous," someone said. "And according to my little brother, she's seriously tough, too."

Yang Xing gave a thumbs-up. "Damn. Is Bo Hanmo going to get beaten up at home? If he does, whose side are we taking?"

To be honest, when Yang Qi first said Fang Yao knew martial arts and had sent everyone to the hospital, Yang Xing had thought the incident had driven his brother out of his mind. Why else would he say something so ridiculous? Then Yang Xing had seen it for himself.

Yang Xing wiped away his sweat. Best not to think about it. The more he thought, the more he wanted to cry. o(╥﹏╥)o

"Fang Yao's, obviously. Do you even need to ask?" Lu Shang raised a fist and waved it a few times.

"Need to ask what?" Bo Hanmo put his phone away. Even in the private room, he'd heard how lively it was outside.

Lu Shang and the others took one look at Bo Hanmo's smile and knew he'd smoothed things over. As for his question, they had no idea what he was talking about!

Bo Hanmo didn't mind their silence. "My wife says she's tired, so she's not coming out today. Next time."

Tsk, tsk. Listen to his tone. Look at that expression. Was this really the Bo Hanmo everyone feared?

Love. Marriage. The graveyard of romance really could change a man.

Lu Shang waved a hand. "That's fine. We can meet her next time. I'm still jet-lagged, so I'm going to take a nap here."

Lu Shang fell asleep as soon as he finished speaking. Bo Hanmo and the others kept their voices low while they chatted afterward.
