Mo Shu’s eyelid twitched.
That relationship was indeed extraordinary.
But seeing Xiao Yuan looking like that, Mo Shu said, "But that was when we were kids."
Xiao Yuan sneered, "Yeah, but she always uses that friendship to manipulate him, that idiot falls for it every time. That woman, pardon my bluntness, is just a white lotus. The last time I went to see her, she started crying after a few words. She said that she and my husband have only brother-sister affection and pleaded for sister-in-law not to be angry. She said if it bothers me, she’ll never see Fei Helin again. She cried so pitifully, like a pear blossom bathed in rain. Then the rumors about me bullying a disabled person started to spread. She even told Fei Helin in front of him that she doesn’t blame me for anything. Ugh, she’s obviously doing it on purpose. Every time Fei Helin comes back from the hospital, he argues with me, saying how pitiable she is and how vicious I am. Heh, it’s truly laughable."
Isn’t this just a real-life version of the story with an evil white lotus and a straightforward main female character?
The original story didn’t include her narrative, so Mo Shu didn’t know much about Xiao Yuan.
Through their interaction, Mo Shu had somewhat figured out Xiao Yuan’s character.
Straightforward, independent, disdaining to play those cunning tricks, yet, she possessed clarity.
Quite to Mo Shu’s liking.
Mo Shu quieted for a moment and asked, "How did you and your husband meet?"
"We," Xiao Yuan shrugged, "were a political alliance, how else? So, I’m never going to outdo his childhood sweetheart."
She spoke very freely, but Mo Shu felt a bit of pity, "Don’t you like your husband?"
"What’s there to like or not like," Xiao Yuan scoffed, "Cheesy, it’s a political marriage, as you know. There’s no such thing as liking or not liking, only suitability. When I married him, I never even thought of asking for emotional attachment."
"That’s not the right way to look at it," Mo Shu put down her cup, "Life is what you make of it, and emotions also need to be cultivated. You’re married to him, and I see that you do have feelings for him. Why belittle yourself?"
Xiao Yuan laughed, "Do you think everyone is like you, huh? You are the prestigious Princess Mo, with the whole Mo Group doting on you, worrying about your heartache, fearing that you won’t be happy. But I’m different." A faint look of dejection in her eyes, "I am but a blade of grass in the Xiao Family, marrying Fei Helin was already me reaching for the stars. Not every woman in our family can marry a man like that."
Mo Shu couldn’t find words in response.
Xiao Yuan: "If I had what you have, who would need to get married? I would be living it up!" Find the newest release on novelꞁire.net
Just as Yu Siqiao approached the doorway, he heard these words and his face instantly darkened.
He always knew that Fei Helin’s wife was no good.
Just for that sentence alone, Yu Siqiao had plenty of reason to suspect that Mo Shu’s reluctance to marry might be incited by this woman!
The guards standing at the door had long been ordered to keep silent, and now no one dared to make a sound.
Inside the room, Mo Shu, hearing Xiao Yuan’s words, couldn’t help but laugh.
"You say you have poor taste. Yu Siqiao’s temper is infamously bad. Who else could you have liked? Everyone in high school laughed at you, saying you were deluding yourself, shamelessly persistent. I don’t think so; I just think you have bad eyes. You’re a princess, with money, looks, and figure. Although you have a bad temper, you could use money to crush anyone you chose, but you had to go for someone with more money, who can’t be crushed by it. Why bother." Xiao Yuan shook her head.
This is the fourth update. I often read comments; there’s no need to inform me if you abandon reading.
Next month, around the 12th, I will launch the paid version, with at least 30 Chapters in a burst, and there will be bonus Chapters, maybe a lot (this is a half-month notice for you all).
In any case, after serializing for so long, being together is a matter of fate. If possible, I hope you can support the full subscription when the time comes (The crudest method is to download the complete story and pay for it). It’s not much, just around the price of a cup of milk tea—
I hope those who book can support the official version, subscribe with book coins to boost first-day subscriptions, and give some motivation. I will finish well, xoxo~~
I’m asking for your tickets~~
