When Mama Ye regained her senses, she frowned at Ye Sijue and said, “Ah Jue, if you want to keep Xiaomeng, can’t you use a gentler method?”
Ye Sijue looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, “You should go back first. We’ll talk about this tomorrow.”
He then said to Mo Xiaomeng, “Come with me. I have something to say to you.”
With that said, he pulled Mo Xiaomeng in the direction of the room.
Yang Zixuan looked like a forgotten figure as she stood in the corner and glared angrily at Mo Xiaomeng, as though she was trying to burn a hole in her.
Mu Xiaoxiao was shocked and wanted to rush forward to protect Mo Xiaomeng involuntarily. “Eh…”
Yin Shaojie grabbed onto her. “Alright, let them have their conversation. Xiaoxiao, let’s go home first.”
Beside them, Mama Ye sighed and said apologetically. “Sorry about that poor display. Ah, Jue probably couldn’t bear to let Xiaomeng leave.”
Yin Shaojie gave her a respectful nod. “Auntie Pei, we’ll be going first then. See you tomorrow.”
“Alright, take care.”
Yin Shaojie dragged Mu Xiaoxiao away and left.
Mu Xiaoxiao, annoyed, said, “Why did you take me away? You should have let me ask about what was going on between Annie and Sijue.”
“Relax, Sijue won’t hurt her.”
…
In the bedroom.
Mo Xiaomeng looked downcast. In front of her, Ye Sijue was regarding her deeply.
The pair stood there facing each other in silence.
Mo Xiaomeng didn’t like the atmosphere. She felt really stifled and uncomfortable.
Thus, her lips moved as she said, “Alright, I’ll sleep here tonight and tomorrow I’ll…”
“You’re not allowed to leave tomorrow either!” Ye Sijue said sharply.
“You —” Mo Xiaomeng lifted her head and stared at him. Displeased at his bossiness, she said, “What right do you have to prevent me from leaving? You and I are only… How do I put this… acquaintances by chance? Also, I came to China to look for Xiaoxiao. Now that we’ve met, isn’t it natural for me to stay with her?”
Frankly speaking, she had only known him for a few days. They couldn’t even be considered friends, right?
Ye Sijue knew that what she said was true, but he didn’t want her to leave.
His face looked heavy as he asked, “You seemed a little weird when we were eating. Did something happen?”
Mo Xiaomeng paused. She didn’t expect him to catch on to her emotions.
She had concealed her feelings. How did he see through that?
Ye Sijue saw her avert her gaze and frowned. His long and slender fingers lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him. “Tell me,” he repeated.
Mo Xiaomeng remembered his liking of Xiaoxiao and her eyes brimmed with unhappiness.
“Stop pinching me like that, it’s uncomfortable!” She tried to move away from his hand.
She had never been treated this way before, even when she was little. She felt as if she was under his control.
She didn’t like it.
“Look into my eyes.” Upon hearing that she was uncomfortable, Ye Sijue let go, but intensified the commanding tone in his voice.
I’ll look into your eyes then! Who’s afraid of you!
Mo Xiaomeng opened her eyes wide and met his gaze.
Ye Sijue looked at her heavily and said, “You were okay in the study… Were you unhappy because of Zixuan’s attitude towards you?”
Yang Zixuan’s hostility towards her was way too obvious.
Mo Xiaomeng shook her head. “No, she didn’t do anything to me. I’m really okay. It’s just that I’m happy I met Xiaoxiao, and I feel bad for intruding into your space.”
