I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot

Qiao Mianmian hesitated when she saw the message and took a while before she replied: [I told him that any woman could like him and then he could like any woman, I wouldn’t mind it at all. Then he got really angry.]

Jiang Luoli: […]

Mianmian: [What do you mean by that?]

Jiang Luoli: [Baby, I would’ve been angry too. You’re basically saying that you don’t care about him at all, isn’t it? Think about it, if someone you really like told you something like that, wouldn’t you be angry too? He would only be calm if he didn’t care about you at all.]

Jiang Luoli: [On the contrary, the angrier he is, the more he likes you. So, was Prince Charming especially angry?]

The angrier he is, the more he likes you…

Qiao Mianmian’s heart dropped when she read this statement.

She was stunned for a moment before replying: [… He seemed really angry.]

Jiang Luoli: [Of course Prince Charming was angry. He obviously likes you and treats you like a precious gem. How could he not be angry when he heard that? But don’t be too worried, he won’t be angry with you for long precisely because he likes you so much. Just apologize to him and coax him, he’ll be fine in no time.]

Qiao Mianmian was a little stunned.

Was it really very obvious that Mo Yesi liked her?

Even Jiang Luoli said that.

She read Jiang Luoli’s message again and was immersed in deep thought.

…

Mo Yesi went straight to look for Uncle Zhang after he left the room.

He asked seriously, “Where’s Miss Shen?”

Uncle Zhang saw that he looked a little unhappy and so responded cautiously, “Miss Shen just went to the garden for a walk with Madam. Young Master, are you looking for her? I can ask her to come over here.”

Mo Yesi narrowed his eyes. “Mm.”

…

Shen Rou and Madam Mo were sitting in the shade and having some tea when Uncle Zhang looked for her.

They seemed to be having a good time together.

Uncle Zhang went over and greeted. “Madam.”

Madam Mo looked up at him after she sipped the freshly brewed honey pomelo tea. “Why, is something the matter?”

Uncle Zhang’s gaze landed on Shen Rou. He smiled hesitantly. “Second Young Master has something to discuss with Miss Shen. He’s waiting for Miss Shen in the study.”

Shen Rou’s smile stiffened for a few seconds.

“Ah Si is looking for me?” Her eyes glinted oddly. “Did he mention what about?”

Uncle Zhang pretended not to know anything. He shook his head and said, “Second Young Master didn’t let me know.”

But Shen Rou already had some speculation.

She’d just talked to Qiao Mianmian a while ago, and Mo Yesi was looking for her already. Perhaps Qiao Mianmian had told tales.

Shen Rou was frustrated.

She hadn’t expected Qiao Mianmian to complain to him about her.

That was so despicable.

Was Mo Yesi calling her over because he wanted to stick up for Qiao Mianmian?

No, that was impossible.

This was a trivial matter. It was nothing compared to the decades of relationship between the Shen and Mo families, or the 20-odd years of friendship between Mo Yesi and her. He couldn’t possibly call it off just because of Qiao Mianmian.

That woman wasn’t that important to him yet.
