“I liked him once, but that’s all in the past.

“He gave up on our 10-year relationship when he cheated on me with my sister. How could I possibly still like him? He’s a jerk to me.

“Mo Yesi, believe me, alright?” Qiao Mianmian looked sincere and determined. “I admit that I’ve thought of getting a divorce with you because I didn’t think our marriage could last. But…”

“But what?” His eyes were fixed on hers. “What do you think now?”

She could see the eagerness in his eyes.

It wasn’t obvious, but it was there.

He couldn’t wait to know what she thought.

Qiao Mianmian pursed her lips and considered very seriously. “Now, I won’t think about divorce anymore. Mo Yesi, I’ll really try and accept you and our marriage. I want to try this out seriously, whether the outcome will be good or bad.”

“The outcome won’t be bad.”

The man hugged her once again once she was done sharing. She could hear his heart beating a lot faster than before. “Baby, trust me with yourself. I promise you won’t regret it.

“Thank you for making such a decision. I’m really happy, Baby. Thank you so much.”

He carefully held her face as if she was a fragile gem and then kissed the side of her eyes gently. “Baby, thank you for forgiving me, and for giving me a chance.

“I will prove it to you with my actions.”

The man kissed her on the lips, but she felt it in her heart.

It was warm, sweet, and fuzzy.

All the sadness, indignance, and confusion dissolved in his gentleness.

She hesitantly reached out and put her arms around his waist.

The man stiffened and then looked down at her. “Baby…”

Qiao Mianmian was a little shy.

She was hardly so proactive.

The only other time she did it was when she kissed him in the car. Besides that, she’d never done something similar.

This time, she was a little abashed as she hugged him.

When he looked at her with those dark and deep eyes, she could feel her cheeks burning up. “I…”

“Uhm.”

Before she could say more, he kissed her once again.

It was more passionate than the previous one.

Yet another almost-suffocating kiss for Qiao Mianmian.

Her heart was palpitating wildly and she was on the verge of trembling.

Mo Yesi stroked her warm cheeks and said, “And, you don’t have to worry about Shen Rou. I made things clear with her. I believe she won’t do anything irrational.”

Qiao Mianmian was panting while leaning against him weakly. She looked up all of a sudden. “Y-You made things clear with Shen Rou? How did you tell her about it?”

Mo Yesi’s gaze was gentle. “I didn’t make it too direct. After all, she’s a girl. I should leave her with some face and dignity.

“But, she surely knew what I was getting at.”

“… Alright, then.” Qiao Mianmian actually wanted to say that she really wasn’t that bothered by Shen Rou.

After all, it didn’t matter how much Shen Rou liked Mo Yesi. It was one-sided love.

But she wouldn’t dare say such a thing again.

She and Mo Yesi had just reconciled; it’d be bad to ruin the atmosphere again.

Moreover, it felt terrible to argue with him.

She never wanted to experience it again.

“If she finds trouble with you in the future, you’ve got to let me know immediately.” Mo Yesi thought for a bit and added, “Don’t worry about straining my relationship with her. You’re my wife; if they don’t respect you, then the relationship I have with them isn’t worth respecting too.”

Did he mean he’d be her backer?

Qiao Mianmian couldn’t help but smile as sweetness spread in her heart. “Okay, got it.”

…

She stayed for dinner at the Mo family.

When Qiao Mianmian and Mo Yesi went downstairs, they found that Shen Rou wasn’t around.

Madam Mo and Old Madam were already seated at the table.

When Uncle Zhang informed them that Qiao Mianmian and Mo Yesi were here, Old Madam smiled at her and waved her over. “Granddaughter-in-law, come and sit beside Grandma.”

Qiao Mianmian was speechless.

She was still calling her Mianmian in the afternoon.

By that same night, she was addressed as granddaughter-in-law?

Mo Yesi smiled upon hearing that too. He whispered in her ear, “Grandma really likes you. She’s never been so nice to anyone else besides me.”

Qiao Mianmian was a little stunned by the pleasant surprise. “Really?”

“Of course.” Mo Yesi nodded. “Big Brother is her actual grandson and she’s never even treated him this way. She said that Big Brother was always pulling a long face and looking like a grouchy old man at such a young age. She thinks that’s not likable.”

“Uh…”

This was the first time Qiao Mianmian heard Mo Yesi mention his elder brother.

She didn’t know much about Mo Shixiu.

She saw him on the news often and knew that he was an important figure in the military.

And that he was going to take part in the next presidential elections.

Mo Shixiu was considered the youngest presidential candidate in history. He was only 30 this year.

The other candidates running alongside him were above 50.

But despite his age, he was the most popular candidate among them. In fact, the support he was garnering online surpassed the rest greatly.

Mo Shixiu was like Mo Yesi—they were born with gifts and exceptional traits. Not only were they from a rich and powerful family, but they were also very good-looking.

Compared to Mo Yesi, this man on television looked colder.

No, to be precise, he looked more serious.

He always had that stern look, no matter the situation and setting. It was as if the words “Do Not Approach” were written all over him.

Old Madam wasn’t wrong to say that he somewhat had the air of an old man.

Even so, as far as Qiao Mianmian knew, Mo Shixiu did have a lot of female fans.

Jiang Luoli was one of them. She was once such a great fan of his, addressing Mo Shixiu as “Hubby”.

Qiao Mianmian looked around and asked out of curiosity, “Your Big Brother isn’t home today?”

Qiao Mianmian actually wanted to have a look at this man face-to-face. Did this idol of thousands of women actually look as handsome in person?

But it seemed like Mo Shixiu wasn’t at home.

Well, that was no surprise. He seemed to be the sort to fly all year round without much time to stay in any one country.
