He didn’t react right away.
Only a few seconds later did he become fully aware of the situation. And when he did, he took her hand in his.
His long slender fingers interlocked with hers.
Seeing how tightly their hands were clasped together, Gong Zeli pursed his lips and balled up his fists.
“Mm, I’m done with the call.” Mo Yesi seemed to not have seen Gong Zeli at all, as his gaze was on the girl beside him. He asked gently, “Have you picked out a bag?”
Qiao Mianmian nodded. “Mm, I saw a design that I think would suit Luo Luo pretty well.”
“Buy it, then.”
Qiao Mianmian was speechless.
She had intended to buy it already.
But someone refused to let her have it.
Mo Yesi looked at Qiao Mianmian’s helpless expression that was mixed with some traces of anger and knew what was going on.
He took a few steps forward with her and then stopped.
He looked up. The tenderness in his eyes and voice completely vanished. “You’re bent on going against me, aren’t you?”
This was meant for Gong Zeli.
The few employees were shocked to realize that…
Gong Zeli’s arrogant air had dissipated drastically since Mo Yesi’s arrival.
This bad-tempered Young Master Gong was so much more reserved now.
The people around turned their focus to Mo Yesi and began to guess who exactly this customer was.
How could Young Master Gong seem afraid of him?
There were only that many powerful families in Yuncheng City and these employees knew all the other rich Young Masters whom Gong Zeli was acquainted with.
But this was the first time they saw this customer.
He must be a big shot for Young Master Gong to act like that.
Gong Zeli went a little pale. “And you’re bent on going against me for this woman?”
Mo Yesi did not say a word, but his eyes got colder.
Gong Zeli was expressionless as well, as they went into some sort of stare-off. A while later, he sneered. “It seems like you’ve decided to stand on her side no matter the situation. I know you won’t listen to me, so there’s nothing much for me to say too. Think of me however you like, but…”
He paused for a moment and then said, “Ah Si, aren’t you a little overboard with the way you treat Rourou? She knew you for so long, both of you could be considered childhood sweethearts.
“No matter what she’s done, her intention is always for your good. You can defend your woman, but do you have to embarrass her this way? Do you know how much she sobbed after she left the restaurant the other day? Ah Si, you’re really too much.
“Rourou is right, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this in the past.” Gong Zeli looked disappointed when he said this.
Mo Yesi didn’t have much of an expression as he listened to what Gong Zeli had to say.
It was as if Gong Zeli was talking about someone he didn’t know.
And not referring to him.
He asked calmly, “You’re done talking?”
Gong Zeli was enraged when greeted with such nonchalance after he’d said his piece. “Yes, I’m done talking!”
