The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

“Was it her insistence that you say it this way?” Dongfang Yu was immediately displeased.

Seeing that he was indeed angry, Hai Xiaotang said casually, “You can refuse her request, that’s fine. Also, I’ve figured out about Qiao Ning’s rent. I’ll give you the money. Think of it as me paying it on her behalf. I’ll transfer all the money to you soon.”

Dongfang Yu’s face darkened abruptly, his tone even more disgruntled, “Why are you giving me the rent money? What, do you think I care about that trivial amount of money?”

“No,” Hai Xiaotang explained. “Qiao Ning is my friend after all. I want to help her myself. There’s no need for you to help her.”

“If I help her, don’t you know why?” Dongfang Yu’s gloomy gaze was fixed on her, “Or are you saying, you don’t want to accept any of my kindness?”

Hai Xiaotang’s eyes flickered, “I just think it’s unnecessary to take advantage of you…”

“Is this taking advantage? Hai Xiaotang, you’re so clear-cut with me, what do you think of me?” Dongfang Yu’s tone was increasingly downcast, “Or is it, deep down in your heart, you don’t really want to be with me?!”

Hai Xiaotang frowned, “That’s not what I mean, don’t jump to conclusions!”

“If that’s the case, then why are you so insistent on keeping things separate? Isn’t what’s mine not yours too?”

“But…”

“Hai Xiaotang, no matter how much I give up for you, I am willing!”

“…” Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, unable to say a word.

She felt somewhat touched inside.

Dongfang Yu held her hand, speaking in a low voice, “I want you to rely on me without hesitation. So even if I’m doing things for your friends, I’m happy.”

Hai Xiaotang really didn’t expect that this was his way of thinking.

But…

“You’re not worried I’ll take advantage of your generosity with unreasonable demands?” She asked tentatively.

Dongfang Yu smiled faintly, “You can make as many requests as you want, I’m just afraid you won’t make any!”

“But just now you…”

” What about just now?”

Hai Xiaotang hesitated, “When I mentioned Hai Lan earlier, you were upset. I thought you were displeased.”

“Yes, I was displeased!” Dongfang Yu freely admitted. Seeing Hai Xiaotang’s puzzled look, he explained, “What I’m upset about is why she had to make such a demand of you? So I wondered if she was threatening you, wasn’t she?”

Hai Xiaotang was surprised, both at his astute guess and the reason for his anger.

It was just because of her…

Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help laughing, “She didn’t threaten me. She just said she’d help me handle my uncle and aunt.”

“I’ll fulfill her demand!” Dongfang Yu quickly said.

Hai Xiaotang laughed out loud for no apparent reason, “Hai Lan has made a fortune.”

Not only can she get countless resources to make herself popular, but she also is under no restrictions. If this isn’t winning, what is?

Many big-name celebrities don’t have as good a deal as her.

Dongfang Yu couldn’t help asking her indulgently, “So, you envy her?”

Hai Xiaotang laughed and nodded, “A little bit.”

He tightly held her hand, his eyes filled with a tender and deep affection, “No need to be envious of her, they should be envious of you – because you have me.”

Hai Xiaotang’s eyes shimmered, her feelings were very complicated.

Putting everything aside, at this moment she was indeed very happy and would be the envy of all women in the world.

Even the old Hai Xiaotang would probably be envious of her present self.

But ironically, she was the only woman who dared not enjoy this kind of affection.

Perhaps it was her lack of security, but receiving too much love made her feel insecure.
