Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Be the Man You Love

Fu Chenlie captured the essence of her words with precision, narrowing his eyes, "Again?"

Wen Ran adjusted her tone, "Husband, if there’s something you want to say, please do. If I’ve done something wrong, I’ll definitely change, okay?"

He withdrew his gaze from her face, removed the cigarette from between his lips, and tapped it into the ashtray to shake off the ashes.

Then, the man’s voice, slightly hoarse from smoking, drifted with indifference, "Come here."

That "come here" carried a mix of three parts forcefulness and four parts casualness, which to Wen Ran’s ears, only heightened the sense of danger. She didn’t even know what she had done to upset this man again.

She walked over weakly and stood beside him, "Husband, do you have something important to tell me?"

Fu Chenlie lifted his gaze to look at her, his eyes emanating an unfathomable light.

His inscrutable gaze threw her into a bit of a panic.

The man soon spoke up, "Living here with me, how do you feel about it?"

This question baffled Wen Ran instantly, "What... do you mean?"

Fu Chenlie’s thin lips moved slightly, "Happy?"

Wasn’t this a question with an obvious answer?

She began to reply without thinking, "Hap..."

"Tell the truth." She had barely spoken one word when Fu Chenlie gave her a cold look and cut her off.

Wen Ran, "..."

How did he know she was about to lie?

Wen Ran pursed her lips and seriously pondered his question.

Several seconds later, she began to speak slowly, "I wouldn’t say I’m unhappy; it’s just that sometimes you’re too serious and have a bit of a temper, and maybe you don’t like me much. So I always seem to make you angry unwittingly. Living here feels a tad bit on edge, like walking on thin ice."

Fu Chenlie curled the corner of his lips and shifted his gaze up to her, "Only a tad?"

"Just a little bit, so little it’s almost negligible. So husband, please don’t overthink it and don’t feel that I’m picking on your faults. I’m just telling the truth."

"It seems I’ve been quite lenient with you."

Wen Ran was filled with question marks.

Just then, Fu Chenlie stood up from the sofa.

He was already a head taller than her, and as he stood up, his presence reached its full potential, combined with his cold, icy demeanor, Wen Ran immediately felt a bad premonition.

At that moment, someone lifted her chin.

Her eyelashes fluttered and she felt even more unsettled as she stared at the man and asked, "Husband, what do you want to say, just say it, okay?"

Playing mysterious, how frightening.

Fu Chenlie stared into her startled eyes and slightly curled his lips, "What did you tell Qin Zeyu about the kind of man you like before?"

Wen Ran furrowed her brows, even more confused, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

He curled his lip, "I’ll try, to become closer to the man you like."

Her eyes widened in shock, finding it more terrifying than seeing a ghost to hear Fu Chenlie talk about becoming closer to the man she liked, "What... what? Am I hearing things?"

"You’re not hearing things," he confirmed definitively and then repeated solemnly, "I, want to be the man you like."

"..."

That’s totally unnecessary, big brother!

Wen Ran nervously removed his hand and then very gently placed it by his side, cautiously saying, "Husband, are you joking? How dare I ask you to become closer to the man I like? I don’t deserve it, please don’t scare me..."
