Chapter 187: How Could She Back Out Willingly
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Knowing that she was usually shy by nature and that this was her first time meeting his friends, she was bound to feel a little awkward. Hence, he would get some food for her or talk a little to her every few minutes.
Qiao Mianmian was practically just eating the food he scooped into the bowl.
Yan Shaoqing was pleasantly surprised by his thoughtfulness. “Tsk, if I didn’t see this for myself, I wouldn’t even believe it. When has Second Bro ever taken care of someone so well?”
He turned to Gong Zeli. “Fourth Bro, you’ve been a close buddy to Second Bro for so many years. Has he ever scooped food for you?”
Gong Zeli glanced at him coldly.
Yan Shaoqing did not wait for his response. “Well, at least, I’ve never had such treatment before. Sis-in-law, this is your exclusive treatment. You don’t know how Second Bro views everyone else around him.
“But now, he has you. Sis-in-law, all of us are so envious of you. Miss Diva Shen, isn’t that right? You never had this treatment from Second Bro when you were younger, right?”
Yan Shaoqing said this on purpose.
He wanted Shen Rou to recognize this fact, and not to have any more inappropriate wishes in the future.
And this was because he knew Mo Yesi too well.
If Shen Rou could adjust her attitude and mindset in time and treat Mo Yesi like a friend or a brother, they could still maintain their friendship.
But if she continued to have other intentions…
Yan Shaoqing did not want to see them fall out after being friends for so many years.
Shen Rou tightened her grip on the wine glass and looked up at Yan Shaoqing.
She looked a little angry.
Yan Shaoqing looked her straight in the eye and smiled. “Right, you haven’t had this treatment before too. And Second Bro has the cheek to say he sees you like a biological sister. He didn’t even treat his sister so well before. Sigh, Second Bro is putting love about his friends.”
“Y-Yeah.” Shen Rou smiled stiffly.
She knew what Yan Shaoqing was trying to do.
But she had liked Mo Yesi for a full 20 years.
How could she let it go so easily?
And why should she?!
It was she who knew Mo Yesi first. She definitely had stronger feelings for him than this new girl did.
Besides him, she didn’t have room in her heart for anyone else.
She’d even decided that if Mo Yesi was to remain a bachelor his whole life, she’d not get married too.
She would remain by his side this way, quietly in the background.
It was clear to her that she couldn’t possibly like another person, ever.
All her time, her feelings, her liking had been for him.
Under such circumstances, how could she back out willingly?
Qiao Mianmian had been eating quietly the whole time and was shocked at being addressed.
She looked up and smiled at Yan Shaoqing. “… Oh, is it?”
“Of course!” Yan Shaoqing smiled. “Sis-in-law, you can’t possibly think that Second Bro is this thoughtful to everyone around him. Let me tell you. Before you came along, I’ve never seen Second Bro treat anyone with such concern and gentleness. Really!”
He even raised his volume to make his point.
“He isn’t even this nice to Aunt Mo. If Aunt Mo was around today to see this, she’d definitely be jealous!”
