“Why did you look for her? What did you say to her?” Mo Yesi sounded overbearing and merciless.
Shen Rou was a little startled by his expression, but she managed not to show her panic. “We didn’t have much time to interact with each other the other time, so I decided I’d have a talk with her today.
“It was just a casual conversation. Then she said she felt tired and needed to rest, so I left.”
It seemed like Mo Yesi had no idea what she and Qiao Mianmian talked about.
Shen Rou couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
But, if Mo Yesi had no idea what they talked about, why did he look so awful?
“Just a casual conversation?”
The man looked at her so deeply, she felt as if he saw through her.
He evidently didn’t believe her.
She could see the doubt in his eyes.
Shen Rou could feel the guilt prick her from inside.
But she held out and tried to keep her smile on. “Yeah, just a casual conversation. Why, you don’t believe me? You think I went to bully her?”
Mo Yesi smiled insincerely. “Mm, I was worried you went to bully her.”
Shen Rou was speechless.
She was losing a grip on her smile.
“Hahaha, you must be kidding me. Mianmian’s your wife, how could I possibly bully her? Moreover, nothing happened between us, why would I do that?”
Mo Yesi eyed her and nodded. “Glad you know that.”
“Shen Rou.”
Just as Shen Rou was about to sigh in relief, she heard him call her name.
It didn’t sound too pleasant.
“How long have we known each other?” Mo Yesi asked deeply.
Shen Rou was a little stunned.
She was silent for a few seconds, not knowing why he asked this all of a sudden. But she answered seriously, “About 20 years.”
Shen Rou was two years younger than Mo Yesi.
She’d spent her first few years overseas.
When she returned, she and the rest of the Shen family went to visit the Mo family. That was when she knew five-year-old Mo Yesi.
She was too young back then to know what it meant to like someone.
She just felt like this big brother was really good-looking, and naturally gravitated towards him.
After knowing Mo Yesi, she lost interest in all the guys around her.
She just wanted to play with him.
When she grew a little older and understood what it meant to like someone, she realized that she actually liked him.
From then on, she paid no attention to other guys.
Just him.
Her dream since she was a child was to be his bride.
Also, the elders of the Mo and Shen families had the idea of the two families being related by marriage and often teased them about it.
Back then, Mo Yesi always remained silent.
So she assumed that he accepted it.
She was overjoyed and simply justified his lack of advances with his proud character.
In any case.
She was going to marry him eventually, anyway.
She saw him as her future husband, never entertaining the thought that he could marry another woman someday.
