15 – The Bunny Marked the Husband
“So, were you jealous just now? Thinking I had another woman?”
Having her thoughts exposed by Fu Chenxiu, Mu Mian’s rabbit ears immediately flushed bright red with embarrassment, turning into braised rabbit ears.
The fur on the inner side of her rabbit ears wasn’t as thick and dense as the outer side, revealing a bit of pink skin. Since rabbit ears have many blood vessels and nerves, the redness was particularly noticeable.
Mu Mian was too embarrassed to admit she had been jealous.
“N-no, I wasn’t!”
Fu Chenxiu let out a light hum, naturally detecting Mu Mian’s contradictory words.
Suddenly remembering something, Mu Mian looked up, her watery eyes seriously gazing at Fu Chenxiu: “So husband, you don’t have someone you like right now, right?”
Meeting the girl’s clear, bright black eyes, Fu Chenxiu’s heart skipped a beat before he responded with a deep “Mm.”
Mu Mian’s eyes fell with disappointment. Husband doesn’t have someone he likes right now… so he doesn’t like Mu Mian either…
But within two seconds, her rabbit ears perked up again with renewed determination: “It’s okay! I’ll make husband like me very soon!”
After declaring this confidently, Rabbit caught the scent of food coming from the dining room and knew it was time for dinner. She hopped cheerfully toward the dining room.
Watching Mu Mian’s retreating figure, Fu Chenxiu’s eyes deepened with thought.
Remembering something, he coldly instructed Shi Hai: “Find out who’s been saying unnecessary things in front of her.”
He didn’t want to keep servants who spread gossip in the villa.
Especially since a certain rabbit was so easily influenced by others’ words.
Shi Hai immediately understood and responded: “Understood, sir.”
After finishing dinner, when Mu Mian returned to her room, she began contemplating how to make her husband fall for her.
This was indeed a difficult problem for her, as she had never encountered such an issue before.
Every time she had found her husband previously, he had willingly accepted her.
Seeing her owner looking troubled, Xiao Qiu flew from her three-story bird villa to land on Mu Mian’s shoulder.
“Owner, what’s wrong? Are you facing some difficulty? Can Xiao Qiu help you?”
“I’m thinking about how to make husband like me,” Rabbit said with her cheeks propped in her hands, looking troubled.
This was probably the most difficult problem she had encountered in her rabbit life so far.
Xiao Qiu also crouched down her plump little body, helping Mu Mian think.
Suddenly remembering something, Xiao Qiu excitedly fluttered her wings twice. “Owner, I heard before that something called ‘cheesy pick-up lines’ are really popular among people nowadays!”
Hearing this, Mu Mian asked curiously: “What are cheesy pick-up lines?”
“Let me demonstrate for you!” Xiao Qiu flew in front of Mu Mian. “Owner, do you know what my flaw is?”
“Being too fat?”
Xiao Qiu: “…”
“It’s missing you!”
Mu Mian shyly covered her cheeks with her hands: “That’s so corny.”
“But isn’t it effective?”
Mu Mian nodded: “It does seem somewhat effective.”
“As long as owner says a few cheesy pick-up lines to sir, he’s sure to be charmed by you too!”
And so a certain rabbit began racking her brains to come up with cheesy pick-up lines.
The next day, during breakfast.
Mu Mian hopped downstairs and came to the dining room.
Fu Chenxiu was already seated in the dining room.
Eager to stir her husband’s heart, Mu Mian immediately approached him.”Husband, let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there were two rabbits. One was called ‘I like you,’ and the other was called ‘I don’t like you.’ After the rabbit called ‘I don’t like you’ died, what was the name of the remaining one?”
After finishing, Mu Mian opened her big eyes wide, looking expectantly at Fu Chenxiu for an answer.
She was already waiting for her husband to say “I like you” to her.
However, after she finished speaking, she saw Fu Chenxiu slightly furrow his brows. “Why did that rabbit die?”
Are rabbits… that easy to die?
Mu Mian: “…………”
“Hey, bro, sis-in-law, you’re already down here.” At that moment, Fu Yifei also arrived at the dining room.
The servants brought breakfast, and on the table was exactly the prop she needed to mention—orange juice.
Mu Mian immediately spoke sweetly, “Husband, do you like orange juice, watermelon juice, apple juice, or me, this cute little rabbit juice~”
When she said “little rabbit juice,” she even placed a finger on her cheek, tilted her head, and made an adorable pose.
Fu Chenxiu: “…”
Fu Yifei, who was drinking orange juice: “Pfft…”
He sprayed a mouthful of orange juice.
“Sis-in-law, are you okay?” Fu Yifei asked, his eyes wide with shock.
Has sis-in-law been possessed? Why is she suddenly spouting cheesy pick-up lines so early in the morning?
Mu Mian leaned closer to Fu Yifei and whispered her plan: “I’m using cheesy pick-up lines to chase your brother! I heard this trick is super effective!”
Fu Yifei: “…”
“Sis-in-law, who told you that? That stuff is already outdated. And my brother hates this kind of tacky thing the most.”
Mu Mian: “…” She suddenly wanted to go upstairs and crush a certain bird’s head!
And here Rabbit had racked her brains all night… even though she only came up with these two.
After breakfast, Fu Chenxiu, as usual, was going to work at the company.
“Husband, wait a moment!”
Hearing Mu Mian’s voice, Fu Chenxiu stopped in his tracks at the entrance.
Turning around, he saw a certain rabbit pouncing toward him again, standing on tiptoe, lifting her chin, and rubbing vigorously against Fu Chenxiu’s neck.
Fu Chenxiu had always disliked others touching him up close. Frowning, he reached out and grabbed a pair of rabbit ears, pulling her away from him.
“What are you doing?”
“Rabbit is marking her husband! That way, no other woman will get close to him!”
Rabbits have special scent glands under their chins and often mark their belongings and territory by rubbing their chins to leave their scent.
Mu Mian rubbed against her husband, so now her husband belongs to Rabbit!
Mu Mian is a very possessive rabbit!
Fu Chenxiu knew some animals had such habits, but he didn’t know rabbits did too.
“We humans can’t smell the scent you leave behind.” Fu Chenxiu mercilessly burst her bubble.
“!!!” Mu Mian instantly perked up her rabbit ears.
What should she do then? If other women can’t smell the scent Rabbit left, wouldn’t they know her husband is taken?
“I don’t like women getting close to me anyway.”
After saying that, Fu Chenxiu left the villa.
Shi Hai was already waiting in the car ahead of time.
Fu Chenxiu got into the car and sat down. After closing the door, Shi Hai suddenly sniffed and couldn’t help but ask, “Sir, did you wear perfume today?”
Having worked alongside Fu Chenxiu for so long, he naturally knew the sir didn’t have the habit of wearing perfume.
“What’s wrong?” Not understanding why Shi Hai suddenly asked this, Fu Chenxiu frowned in confusion.”I just thought there seemed to be a special fragrance about you today, sir. It actually smells quite pleasant.”
Fu Chenxiu never wore cologne and knew he hadn’t applied any.
Seeming to understand something, the corners of his lips lifted imperceptibly. “It might be some scent I picked up somewhere. Let’s head to the company.”
