Chapter 351: Chapter 351: Feeling So Proud?

"Really? I’ve never heard of that."

"Don’t you have some self-awareness?"

Hearing this, Wen Ran laughed.

She didn’t argue back but instead boldly defended herself: "Well, I have a mouth, so I can’t just keep quiet forever. Besides, if all I ever say to you is ’Mm-hmm,’ wouldn’t that be boring? Do you like boring women?"

"No, I don’t."

"Well, there you go."

Fu Chenlie chuckled lightly at first, then followed her train of thought: "So, according to your logic, arguing with me is your way of getting me to like you?"

She immediately denied it: "I wouldn’t say I’m that farsighted. It’s just that sometimes you’re too overbearing. And some things you say to me—I respond to them, and that’s completely normal. But when you’re upset, you think I’m arguing or talking back. I don’t really have any defense for that."

After she finished speaking, he lifted his head slightly from the bed and stared into her eyes: "After being with me for so long, was there ever a moment when you found me especially annoying?"

"Are you trying to trap me so you can settle scores with me later?"

"No, I’m just trying to understand you."

That response made Wen Ran feel a sweetness in her heart.

She lifted her face to meet his gaze: "I’ve never found you annoying, but I have been afraid of you."

"Afraid of me?"

"Yeah. At first, you weren’t very nice to me, and I couldn’t figure out your temper. Then once, you caught me having dinner with Zhao Xiuyun’s parents, and you got so angry that I thought you might hit me. I was terrified."

The man nodded seriously: "Mm, so scared you started crying."

Wen Ran looked a little embarrassed: "Shut up!"

He laughed pleasantly: "Mrs. Fu really knows how to read people well. I hadn’t even done much, and you immediately started admitting fault and crying. It was as if if I kept blaming you, I’d be the one at fault."

At this point, she became quite smug, even her voice carried a hint of playful arrogance: "Well, living with a husband is like living alongside a tiger. If I’m not clever, how could I protect myself?"

"Feeling proud of yourself?"

"Not proud."

She grinned cheekily at him.

The smile was so genuine and pure that Fu Chenlie couldn’t help but lean closer to her and kiss her.

The woman didn’t shy away. In fact, she took the initiative to meet him halfway.

Such a Wen Ran struck a deep chord in the man’s heart. That surface-level affection seemed to suddenly dig deeper.

After the kiss, she leaned into his chest, casually and contentedly chatting with him: "Hubby, when you agreed to marry me at Grandma’s insistence, was it completely because she threatened you by fasting? Or was there another reason?"

Another reason?

At the time, Grandma had threatened him, saying that if he didn’t marry, she would never let him see Jiang Wan Ning again for the rest of his life.

Fu Chenlie quickly collected his thoughts and replied quietly with two words: "No other reason."

Wen Ran looked skeptical: "Really?"

"What? You don’t believe me?"

"No, it’s just that you don’t seem to be the kind of person who easily succumbs to threats. Even if the person doing the threatening is Grandma, so I was curious. Maybe it’s just me overthinking."

He gave a simple "Mm": "You’re overthinking."

As his words fell, the man looked at her, silently grumbling to himself—

When did Wen Ran start understanding him so well?!

Completely oblivious to his inner thoughts, she was still trying to keep the conversation going: "So, do you have anything I don’t know about that you could share with me? We’ve known each other for over twenty years, and you must’ve gone through lots of interesting things, right?"

He responded with deliberate grace: "I don’t know what to say right now."

"Then can I ask?"
