Chapter 166: Nobody Will Laugh at You
Especially the final statement he made.
Even Qiao Ruhai, who’d dealt with all sorts of problems for the greater part of his life, felt a chill from those words.
He couldn’t help but feel afraid of him.
He was very clear about one thing.
This man was young, but he meant what he said.
He really was capable of everything he mentioned.
Qiao Anxin looked at the way he protected Qiao Mianmian and felt extremely jealous.
She’d been trying to get him to notice her.
And yet that man had never looked her straight in the eye the whole time.
Didn’t she look pitiful enough?
She’d been using this act since she was a young girl, and it worked in front of every man.
Su Ze was the same. That was how she got to him bit by bit.
Every man liked a vulnerable and pitiful woman. This sort of woman would evoke their sense of sympathy and make them feel like protecting the damsel in distress.
This had never gone wrong in her years of pulling this act.
But why didn’t it work on him?
Qiao Anxin was envious and indignant, and the fire in her heart burnt even brighter.
She clenched her teeth and told herself: I’m going to get this man! I can’t lose to Qiao Mianmian!
After all, Qiao Anxin had managed to get everything she ever wanted in life.
“Baby, let’s go.” After laying out his threats, Mo Yesi turned around with his arm wrapped around Qiao Mianmian, and they walked off with the group of bodyguards around them.
...
Outside the Qiao household.
A black Rolls-Royce was parked.
Uncle Li had been waiting outside the car the whole time and quickly greeted Mo Yesi and Qiao Mianmian as he saw them walk out. “Young Master, Young Madam.”
Uncle Li was taken aback when he saw the handprint on Qiao Mianmian’s face. “Young Madam, your face...”
“I’m fine.”
Qiao Mianmian reached to touch her cheek and winced upon contact.
Mo Yesi furrowed his brows immediately as he cupped his face in her hands. “Is it very painful?”
His heart ached for her.
Qiao Mianmian felt very touched to see the care and concern in his eyes.
She didn’t shed a single tear even though she’d been so aggrieved.
But now, she couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Tears gathered in her eyes, threatening to fall.
She pushed him away and turned around, not wanting him to see her cry.
“I-I’m fine.” Her voice gave her away.
Mo Yesi’s brows were knitted even more tightly together when he figured that she was crying.
He hugged her from behind. “You’re crying?”
“I-I’m not...”
“Then turn around and show me.”
“I really am not,” she said that as her shoulders shook with each sob.
Mo Yesi found it heartbreaking and amusing at the same time.
He turned her to face himself despite her struggling.
Seeing that her eyes were red and swollen from the crying, he felt even more upset for her.
He placed his hands on her shoulder and looked at her for a while. He then sighed and said, “Cry if you want to. But cry just this once. In the future, don’t shed any tears for people who don’t deserve it anymore.”
With that, he wrapped her in a gentle embrace.
He stroked her hair and her face before giving her a kiss. “Baby, you don’t have to hold it in if you feel hurt. Cry it all out, nobody will laugh at you.”
