In the most prosperous belt of the Yun City center stood a tall skyscraper, which was the headquarters of the Bao Group.

“Boss, I heard that you skipped work yesterday to accompany sister-in-law to go shopping and that you even brought home almost the entire shopping mall!” said Gong Zeye excitedly.

Bao Junyan swept him an aloof side-glance.

“It looks like you like her a lot!” The former blinked his eyes flirtatiously at him and then, as if a huge weight had been lifted off of his chest, added, “We were all very worried that you’d never like someone else and get into a relationship ever again! I didn’t expect our sister-in-law to be such a charming person!

“Your taste in women, however, seemed very different from before! You used to like women who are glamorous, proud, confident, and competitive, but now, you prefer the obedient and cutie type.


“Speaking of which, we received quite a shock when you picked the poor wretch of the Mu family. Her status was the lowest among all those socialites there.”

“The poor wretch of the Mu family?” He lifted his head at that.

“Yup. You were living in the Imperial Capital previously, so you don’t know about the family matter of that poor wretch, no, sister-in-law.

“At the age of ten, after she got a stepmother, her glorious status of being the young missy and the only heir of the Mu family was stripped and she became a Cinderella. That stepmother is truly wicked, indeed. Not only did she not treat sister-in-law well, but she was even kicked out of the house penniless later on.”

His forehead creased. “Where’s her father and grandma?”

“Her father is a notorious coward; in modern day’s words, a mommy’s boy who listens to everything his mother says. The matriarch prefers male descendants, and his newly wedded wife gave birth to a son.

“It’s all good now, though. Now that she’s married to you, her family is surely fawning over her and regretful of their past actions.”

After Gong Zeye left, he thought about how his wife allowed her sister to move in with them despite her reluctance. This probably meant that she was currently still under the mercy of her family. At the thought of how he got someone to send Mu Kexin back home last night…

He picked up his phone to give Mu Huan a call.

The woman had just left the hospital when she saw his incoming call. It was only after taking several deep breaths and buying herself an ice cream from a nearby store that she answered her phone.


“Where are you at? Why did you take so long to answer the call?” the man questioned with a frown.

She licked a mouthful of the ice cream. “I didn’t hear the phone ringing. I was buying ice cream just moments ago.”

He heard her licking the ice cream from the other end. “…”

“Why are you looking for me, Hubby?”

“Did your family make things difficult for you after I got someone to send your sister home?”

“They’re feeling a little disgruntled, but it’s not like they can do anything about it! You’re the one who had her sent home, after all! Thank you, Hubby!”

From her voice, it did not sound like she had been bullied by her family in any way. Instead, she seemed to be very proud and high-spirited. “I’ll be back home late tonight, so you can just go to bed early.”

Needing time to think about her upcoming course of action tonight, she, therefore, asked, “My best friend had a break-up and is crying buckets. Can I go to her place tonight to comfort her?”

The man instinctively disliked having her stay out overnight.

“She’s my best friend. I need to be by her side at moments like this. Please? Pretty please…?”


He found himself unable to say no to her coy pleading. “Alright.”

“Thank you, Hubby!” Her initially energetic voice, at the end of the call, immediately deflated and became filled with lethargy.

Even though she had her favorite albeit melted ice cream in hand, she had no desire to eat it.

Dear Readers,

As everyone is aware, we’re currently releasing two translated novels per week. Due to our translation budget, we can only publish approximately 104 translated novels per year. However, in our bank of over a million Chinese novels, there are a large number of hidden gems of translated novels that haven’t been selected. As a result, we plan to release the ‘Trial Read System’ to publish more Chinese translated novels for everyone with out limited budget.

Here are the specifics:

Webnovel will be launching this new system where 60 chapters of a novel will be translated, like a teaser, of which chapters 1~39 will be free to read whilst the rest up to chapter 60 will be paid. We will review the date of these novels within a 1 month cycle, and hopefully shorter in the future, and with the results we will decide weather the novel will continue to be translated or continue being observed for further results.

As for selected novels, we will do our best to reinstate their translations within a month. All locked chapters won’t be affected by this. If there is no way we can continue translating a novel, all coins and fast pass spent in unlocking the chapters for this novel shall we returned to the reader within a month whilst the chapters for that book remains unlocked.

Regrettably, although the Trial Read System can help us provide even more novels for everyone, it will inevitably mean that even more novels will be discontinued. If everyone wishes for their favourite translated novels to continue, please subscribe to chapters and support the novels that you love.


If you have a better suggestion and/or advice regarding our ‘Trial Read System’ or anything else regarding our current methods, please do share! We welcome all your valued suggestions! We will strive to continue optimising and developing the Trial Read translations for your pleasure!

Many thanks,

Webnovel

===================================================================

The selected book will have a mark on the corner of the book cover before 23:59 on February 15th.

Coins and Fast Pass for unlocking books that haven’t been selected in this issue will be returned to your account by February 15, 23:59 (GMT+8).
