“'Fourth, she will close herself off while spitting sarcastic remarks, knowingly or unknowingly . '”

It seemed to be like this .

“'She will compare herself with another woman . '”

He stroked his chin thoughtfully . The questioning words she had spoken with puffy eyes reverberated in his head once more . 'If I belong to you, then what about you? Do you belong Mu Wanrou?'

Erm…

“'She will feel down, becoming broken as she weeps bitterly . '”

His subordinate listed off all the responses that a jealous woman would often show .

Most of them fit his woman's previous actions .

That woman blacklisted his number, treated him indifferently, kept her distance from him, made snide remarks about him while remaining impa.s.sive, and even compared herself to another woman . All of those were signs of jealousy, according to this psychology book .

He naturally subst.i.tuted this into an equation: jealousy = love .

Was that woman jealous toward him because she loved him?

This realization had him puckering his lips into a smile . The frost in his eyes gradually receded, and joy faintly emerged from within .

Min Yu raised his head and watched his boss's excitement and contentment in shock . The man returned to himself quickly after, only to realize that his a.s.sistant was looking at him in such a bare manner . Hastily withdrawing the smile on his lips, he cleared his throat and sent a glum glare at him . “Continue reading!”

The latter gathered his wits and dared not look at his superior any longer .

“'A man must be in control of his emotions and respect his partner's feelings . He should keep in mind that she is not his private property—'”

“She is my private property,” he corrected, feeling rather displeased .

“She has the right to be in a relations.h.i.+p and to fall in love with another—”

He swiftly cut him off, shooting daggers at him . “She has no right to be in a relations.h.i.+p with anyone else besides me, and all the more, she has no right to love another!”

The oppressive aura he effused made his subordinate shut his mouth for a long while .

“Boss…”

“Is that book authentic?” he asked skeptically . “How can there be such an absurd description?”

“It is!”

His a.s.sistant turned to another page and added, “It says here: 'Jealousy may be a reflection of one's affection, but it vastly contrasts with true love . There is only one way out of jealousy: use love to gain affection and to redeem one's relations.h.i.+p . '”

“'Use love to gain affection'?”

He could not help pondering on this as he leaned against his chair . From the expression he showed, he seemed to be considering it seriously .

“Do women firmly insist on marriage? What is a typical woman's opinion on marriage?”

The a.s.sistant shook his head in bafflement . “I don't know . ”

He loved to answer that question as well .

Alas, he did not have a girlfriend .

His boss sent him a glare . “If you don't know, then hurry up and investigate!”

He hurriedly fished out a book t.i.tled 'Marriage Psychology' and quietly skimmed through its pages .

“'Being in a relations.h.i.+p is easy, but staying committed is difficult . The biggest difference between these two is that a person looks at his or her partner's good points when in a relations.h.i.+p while a person must embrace the other's weak points once married . In marriage, communication is often the issue . This is usually due to the disparity between a man and woman's perception of marriage . '”

He nodded thoughtfully .

“'Love is everything to a woman, whereas it is only a small part to a man's life . A man's accomplishments come from success in his career and the rise in his social status . Love is simply a method to relieve himself of his loneliness . As for a woman, her accomplishments largely originate from a man's concern and love for her . Love can be a woman's driving force in life…”
