Oh my G.o.d.
Why did he have to come in when she was bragging to Qiao Chen!!
She was simply too embarra.s.sed.
Qiao Mianmian’s face burned under Mo Yesi’s deep and teasing eyes. The heat on her face continued expanding until her whole face felt burning hot.
“Sister, Brother-in-law.”
Qiao Chen was also embarra.s.sed, and the smile on his face was just as stiff. He managed to squeeze out an unnatural smile from the corner of his lips.
He was probably more embarra.s.sed than Qiao Mianmian.
After all, Qiao Mianmian had only been bragging.
And he… he had said something bad.
He didn’t know if his brother-in-law had heard him!
Mo Yesi walked to the bed with the freshly-brewed brown sugar water.
His lips curled upwards as he looked at the embarra.s.sed brother and sister. His smile deepened and he raised an eyebrow lightly. “Your sister is right.”
Qiao Chen: “Huh?”
Stirring the brown sugar water in the bowl with a spoon, Mo Yesi sat down by the bed and stared intensely at Qiao Mianmian’s blus.h.i.+ng little face. He said in a teasing tone, “I really did fall in love with her at first sight. Then I loved her so much that I couldn’t help myself. I was afraid she would be s.n.a.t.c.hed by other men, so I struck first to gain the upper hand.”
Qiao Mianmian was startled and her face flushed even more.
Although Mo Yesi seemed to be helping her out, she still felt so embarra.s.sed and ashamed.
She was too embarra.s.sed to even look at him.
“Also.”
After pausing for a while, he turned to look at Qiao Chen. “I’m in very good health, with normal functions in all aspects. I don’t have any dysfunctions. You don’t have to worry that your sister will live ‘unhappily’ with me. If you’re still doubtful, I can go for an individual examination right away. Then you two can rest a.s.sured.”
Qiao Chen’s handsome and delicate face was also flushed.
At this moment, he wanted to dig a hole and hide with his sister.
He was too embarra.s.sed!
His brother-in-law had actually heard what he just said!
He had heard it all!
Qiao Chen normally didn’t have the habit of speaking ill of others behind their backs, but he had been too worried about Qiao Mianmian and was afraid that she would suffer losses.
He felt like, given Mo Yesi’s good qualifications, there must be something wrong for him to get married so eagerly.
It had originally been a secret between the siblings.
But now, their secret had been heard by the master. Qiao Chen felt ashamed as if he had been caught speaking badly of someone.
Biting his lip and looking guilty, a hint of a blush seeped into his fair and handsome face. “Brother-in-law, I- I’m sorry.”
Qiao Chen was very delicate and had fair skin.
At first glance, he looked like a beautiful girl.
But upon closer inspection, his facial features were manly. Although exquisite and beautiful, they weren’t feminine.
Like Qiao Mianmian, he was easily shy.
With his eyes down and his cheeks blus.h.i.+ng, he looked bewildered and at a loss, as if he had been bullied.
Mo Yesi was so amused by it.
They were really siblings.
At some point, even their expressions were identical.
“I don’t mean to blame you.” Mo Yesi saw that he was shy and didn’t want to scare him. He said in a gentle tone, “You have those worries because you care for your sister. I’m glad to see that you have a good relations.h.i.+p with your sister.
“I’m sincere about going for a physical examination. If you need it, I can go for it anytime.”
