Mo Xiaomeng couldnât articulate what she was feeling. Her heart felt a little stuffy and uncomfortable, and she was even a little angry.
Why did he kiss her if he liked Xiaoxiao?
She bit her lip, and a mist came over her eyes and there was grievance and sorrow in them.
So it turned out that this guy was a jerk who played with the feelings of other people!
She had evenâ¦
Mo Xiaomeng shook her head. She didnât want to think about this anymore.
Not wanting to eavesdrop any longer, she turned to leave.
In the study.
Upon hearing his motherâs words, Ye Sijueâs handsome features looked amused. âMom, what are you talking about! Since when have I said that I liked Xiaoxiao? Also, donât go around sprouting such things. It wouldnât be good if the Yins or Xiaoxiao and her friends hear of it.â
Mama Ye looked stubborn as she said, âDonât lie to me. Donât you have a box of things hiding all the things that Xiaoxiao gave you? You also liked to look for Xiaoxiao when you were a kid. You smiled much more when you were with her too. If you donât like her, then what else can it be?â
Ye Sijue didnât know whether to laugh or to cry. âWhat box? Are you talking about those things that I hid when I was young? Mom! That box contains not only stuff Xiaoxiao had gifted, but also Shaojie and the rest. Your view is only clouded because you really want Xiaoxiao to marry into our family.â
He had indeed played with Xiaoxiao a lot when they were little, but Yin Shaojie and the rest were also there, so he didnât hang out with only Xiaoxiao.
Frankly speaking, he went to the Yins to find Shaojie, not Xiaoxiao.
However, the adults simply liked to match their kids together as they watched them play.
Mama Ye frowned. Upon hearing his explanation, she was a little shocked, as though she had an inkling that her judgement was wrong, but still didnât believe it.
âIs it really? Donât lie to your mom! You really donât like Xiaoxiao?â
Ye Sijue thought for a moment before saying, âI do like her, but not in the way that you think. Also, Shaojie and Xiaoxiao are now engaged, and their relationship with each other is really good, so you should get rid of your false notions.â
Mama Ye sighed. She still looked really regretful. âBut I really want Xiaoxiao to marry into our familyâ¦â
Ye Sijue laughed as he said, âYouâre aiming for the Mus fortune? You want to expand our familyâs influence using a marriage to the Mus?â
After all, Xiaoxiaoâs background was really special, and could not be compared to anyone elseâs.
Mama Ye glared at him. She sounded unhappy as she said, âSo you think that your mom is such a person? Iâm only thinking this way because I like Xiaoxiao, and you were friends since you were little with a good relationship!â
Of course, it couldnât be denied that the Mus were really influential. Anyone who was acquainted with the Mus and knew of the existence of this rich young mistress would have thought about a union with them.
Ye Sijue walked towards his mother and stood by her side. He rubbed her shoulders to pacify her as he smiled and said, âI was only kidding. I know how much you like Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiaoâs so cute that there wasnât one elder who didnât like her and pamper her when she was growing up. Even if she didnât come from her background, there are still many people who want her to marry into their family.â
Mama Ye nodded as she said, âThatâs true. Everyone said that they like Xiaoxiao, and wanted her to become their daughter-in-law at our sistersâ gathering.â
The Hans and the Songs were no exception.
