I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot Novel - Chapter 190
Chapter 190: I’ll Send Rou Rou Back
Yan Shaoqing had gone red from choking on his drink, and his eyes were getting teary as well. He was trying hard to catch his breath as he said, “But don’t you find this f**king strange? Just look at Second Bro, it’s like he’s f**king possessed or something.
“Can you even believe that he’s still the same Second Bro we know?
“What the hell is an ice-cream? I’ve played with him since we even learned how to crawl, and I’ve never seen him like this. He said he didn’t like dessert!”
Shen Rou’s expression turned a little more nasty with each statement from Yan Shaoqing.
When he was done, Shen Rou had bitten her lip so hard it was almost bleeding. Even the smile she’d feigned for the greater part of the time was gone.
That’s right, Mo Yesi never ate desserts.
She’d made desserts for him before, but he hadn’t even taken a bite. He had told her he didn’t like them.
So, she stopped preparing them for him altogether.
But he just said he wanted to eat the ice-cream.
Just because the ice-cream was for Qiao Mianmian? Just because Qiao Mianmian liked it? Was that why he wanted a bite of it too?
The ball of jealousy grew and rose inside her.
She placed the wine glass on the table heavily and stood up all of a sudden.
The rest of them were rather shocked by her actions.
Yan Shaoqing turned around and looked a little concerned. He was afraid she’d do something irrational.
He called out to Shen Rou, partly as a form of reminder. “Rou Rou.”
Mo Yesi looked up at her as well.
“I’m a little unwell.”
Shen Rou took a deep breath and kept her emotions grounded in her heart. She tried her best to maintain rationality and to force an unnatural smile. “I’d like to head home first. I’ll give you guys a good treat sometime.”
“You’re unwell?” Yan Shaoqing quickly said, “Are you still suffering from jetlag? You’d better get home and rest early, then. Anyway, we’re all friends, we can meet another day too.”
It was better for everyone if Shen Rou left first.
Otherwise, she could lose it in a while and cause trouble.
Right then, Gong Zeli stood up too.
He placed his hands in his pocket and said casually, “I’ll send Rou Rou back.”
“Fourth Bro, you’re leaving too?” Yan Shaoqing frowned. “But with the both of you gone, I’ll be playing gooseberry here.”
Nobody bothered about him.
Mo Yesi looked at Shen Rou for a while, then nodded. “Since you’re unwell, you’d better get home earlier.”
Shen Rou suddenly felt her nose scrunch up.
He hadn’t even asked where she was feeling unwell!
Did he only have eyes for Qiao Mianmian now?
“I-I’ll get going, then.” She held her tears back and turned around slowly.
“Oh, right.”
It seemed like she suddenly recalled something as she reached for a little box in her bag.
She handed the box to Mo Yesi. “This is the gift I brought back for you. I’ve given Zeli and Shaoqing theirs.”
Mo Yesi hesitated for a while before receiving it. “Thank you.”
That “thank you” was even more tear-jerking for her.
She smiled as if mocking herself. “Ah Si, we’ve known each other for so long. Do you have to be so civil with me?”
With that, she looked at Qiao Mianmian apologetically. “I’m sorry, Mianmian. I didn’t know you and Ah Si were married when I was getting the gifts, so I didn’t prepare yours. I’ll make it up to you.”
