"No sleep for me, then?"
Just when Willy Smith thought the woman would continue to ignore him, her clear voice tinged with laughter came fluttering by his ear, "Hubby, you don't know, but for a man to be utterly subdued by his woman, that's called being henpecked. If word gets out, you'll be the laughingstock, unable to hold your head up!"
Willy Smith: "..."
No matter how he calculated it, Willy hadn't expected such a response from her. She had been silent for so long, yet when she spoke, this was what she came out with!
For a full three minutes, Willy was unable to recover from his shock, his entire being in a state of utter disbelief.
"It's an honor for a man to be henpecked. I'm not afraid of being laughed at!"
After mechanically uttering such a phrase, Willy suddenly became aware and nearly jumped up in excitement, "Wife, does this mean, you don't blame me for accidentally peeking at your diary?"
Caught by an unexpected surge of joy, Willy felt the urge to scream.
