Mia suddenly slapped Andre's arm hard, how dare she? It was because she was pissed off.
"Andre, speak up, is it because you've got me now, so you're no longer fond of me?"
Andre replied, "I prefer obedient women, not the ones who sneak behind my back and eat super spicy instant noodles."
"So, if I'm not obedient, will you replace me with another woman?"
Andre didn't answer.
"Speak up."
Andre noticed he had further angered Mia. He attempted to lighten the mood by saying, "Who would I replace you with? It was such a hassle to marry you, you are such a handful."
Mia felt wronged, "Didn't you just say it? You like obedient women, if I'm not obedient, you won't like me anymore."
Andre realized their roles seemed to be reversing quickly again.
He stopped the argument immediately and tried to change the situation.
He cupped his wife's face with both hands, "Mia, why are you so disobedient? Have you forgotten how you cry and run into my arms when your stomach hurts at night, asking me to supervise your diet, making sure you don't eat spicy or cold food?"
Mia was speechless. How could she refute that?
"Darling, you can't trust a woman's words."
"So, the 'I love you' you just said is also unreliable?"
Mia felt troubled, "Darling, I will be obedient from now on."
"You swear, if you don't obey, you'll fail your exams this year."
Mia: "No!"
She glared at her husband. She thought it was inhumane for her husband to make her swear that she would fail her exams if she didn't obey.
She didn't want to swear.
What if she disobeyed again in the future?
What if she really did fail her exams?
Now, she had to leave herself a way out.
Andre held Mia's face, squeezing her cheeks together, "Mia, why are you even afraid to make an oath? How can I trust you?"
"You made the oath too serious, I don't think it's necessary to make such a serious oath."
Andre noticed that Mia was being naughty again.
He felt frustrated.
In the end, Mia firmly refused to make an oath.
She clenched her teeth, preferring to stay awake than to make such a vow.
"Darling, I've realized you're treating me this way because you've been emotional lately and have no outlet, so you're picking on me."
Hearing this, Andre pushed her behind the door, "Mia, do you think I'm acting this way because you pissed me off or because I'm emotional?"
Mia: "Half and half."
Andre let her go, "I'll sleep in the study tonight."
"What's wrong, are you so pissed off that you want to sleep in separate rooms?"
Andre was speechless.
Later he went to the study, and she followed him to the study.
He went downstairs to fetch water, and she followed him to fetch water.
He went to the bathroom, and she waited outside the bathroom door.
"Stop following me and go back to sleep." Andre pointed at the bedroom door, telling his wife to go back.
Mia took a step forward, tugging at the corner of Andre's clothes, "Darling, come back and sleep with me."
Andre said, "Let me calm down and think about whether I've messed up in educating you."
Mia said somewhat awkwardly, "Darling, it's not your fault, it's my parents who didn't educate me well, don't blame yourself." She said, and gently stroked her husband's chest.
"Your parents handed you over to me, and I have a responsibility too."
