They hadn’t met in a while too. Mo Shixiu got a little emotional as he looked at his younger brother who was now somebody else’s husband. “I never expected you to be married already.”
“I never expected that too.” Mo Yesi smiled. “This wasn’t part of my plan. But I’m pretty happy with this surprise.”
Mo Shixiu raised a brow. “Sister-in-law seems like a nice person. Treat her well.”
“She’s my wife, of course, I’ll treat her well.” Mo Yesi’s expression softened when he mentioned Qiao Mianmian.
His aura was also a lot more approachable and less cold.
Mo Shixiu sensed the difference and couldn’t help but smile. “I heard your marriage happened in a flash?”
“Yup.”
“I thought both of you did that because of certain circumstances, and there were no feelings involved. Seems like I was wrong.”
Mo Shixiu knew his own brother well.
He could tell right away whether Mo Yesi really liked her or not.
Mo Yesi smiled as well. “Mm, we did get married because of certain reasons. I didn’t expect us to get to where we are now, either.
“Perhaps, this is what they mean by destiny.”
He never believed in all these.
Things about fate and destiny were but superstitious beliefs.
But now, he was willing to accept such a notion.
Qiao Mianmian was his destiny.
Mo Shixiu was slightly stunned when he heard the word “destiny” coming from Mo Yesi.
He went quiet for a few seconds before saying jokingly, “You believe in such things now?”
“I’m not superstitious.” Mo Yesi narrowed his eyes but said gently, “I just believe that the heavens arranged for her to be in my life.”
Mo Shixiu found it rather amusing. “And this isn’t being superstitious?”
“Big Brother, when you find a girl you like in the future, you’ll understand this feeling.” Mo Yesi didn’t elaborate on this. He simply patted him on the shoulder.
Mo Shixiu was speechless.
Why did he feel as if he’d been mocked?
Was this younger brother of his mocking him for being a single man who didn’t understand such concepts?
“Ah Si, on a serious note…” Mo Shixiu glanced towards the stairs and then said seriously, “You’d better have a good talk with Mom. None of us was on her side tonight, she must be very upset with Sister-in-law. If you really mean well for Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t anger Mom too much.
“You’re defending and protecting her, but in doing that, you’ll only worsen her relationship with Mom.
“If there are misunderstandings, it’s best to clear them up as soon as possible. Family shouldn’t hold any grudges with one another.”
Mo Yesi was in deep thought for a moment before nodding. “I know.”
He knew that Mo Shixiu wasn’t really defending anyone.
His Big Brother wasn’t filial for the sake of it.
“It’s good that you know.” Mo Shixiu patted him on the shoulder too. “I have some matters to attend to, I’ll head to the study for now. Have a good talk with Mom, she isn’t an unreasonable person.”
