Mo Yesi furrowed his brows and grabbed her hands. He then pulled her into his arms and said, “Mianmian, you’re my wife and they are my best friends. I don’t demand that they like you, but I need them to at least respect you. Otherwise, how am I to feel?
“If I don’t let them know how angry I am this time, they’d only be more disrespectful to you in the future.
“I’d said that I won’t let you feel aggrieved, so I’ll hold myself to it. Fourth Bro knows that I care about you and value you, and he still dared to pull a long face at you. He wasn’t just disrespecting you, but me as well.
“I had to teach him a lesson.”
Qiao Mianmian didn’t quite know what to say.
She suddenly felt her heart pump faster.
He said he cared for her and valued her…
Whether or not he meant it, she had to admit that at this moment, she was touched.
Which woman wouldn’t be?
Being able to feel that one’s partner cared for them, valued them, and protected them in every way…
Especially when that partner was a man as outstanding as Mo Yesi.
He was handsome and charismatic, with power and authority in his hands. And yet, he treated her with such thoughtfulness.
If she could remain unfazed by all he had done, she wouldn’t be human, she’d be divine!
But she wasn’t.
So there definitely would be times she felt her heart flutter for him.
After all, a man like Mo Yesi was too attractive.
After Mo Yesi said that, he realized that Qiao Mianmian was looking at him blankly. She hadn’t even blinked.
He held her chin up with his slender fingers and squinted. “What are you looking at? Do you suddenly think your husband’s especially handsome?”
Qiao Mianmian nodded her head foolishly.
She then heard a jolly chuckle.
All the unhappiness she’d seen on the man’s face had vanished. He was all smiles now.
“Since you find your husband especially handsome, why don’t you let me hear you call me Hubby, hm?”
“Ah?”
Qiao Mianmian blinked and snapped back to her senses when she saw his expectant eyes.
Then her cheeks started to burn as she stammered. “W-Wait what? I didn’t hear you clearly.”
Ahhh.
How did she get so immersed by his handsomeness?
And he’d discovered it.
How awkward…
Qiao Mianmian always felt like she wasn’t the type of girl to swoon so easily.
In fact, no man had managed to make her swoon.
But… did she just expose that side of herself to Mo Yesi?
It must have been because she hadn’t been determined enough.
It was all this man’s fault, for being too attractive.
“You didn’t hear me clearly?” The man chuckled again. “Mm, I’ll repeat it then. Baby, let me hear you call me Hubby. We’re already married and you haven’t called me Hubby yet.”
Her chin was still between his fingers, and her eyes were still on his face.
She felt as if her heart had been struck. It simply couldn’t calm down.
