They had just reached the door when Lu Rao’s voice sounded from behind them. “Ah Si.”
“Anything else?” Mo Yesi stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him.
Lu Rao looked like he wanted to say something, but after a few seconds, he shook his head. “It’s nothing. Let’s have a few drinks together.”
Mo Yesi raised an eyebrow. Although he knew that Lu Rao wasn’t referring to this, he didn’t ask further and just nodded. “Alright.”
After Mo Yesi led Qiao Mianmian out, Lu Rao looked at the door thoughtfully for a while.
…
“Mo Yesi, I’m sorry. It’s all because of me that you got injured.” Qiao Mianmian looked apologetic as she left Lu Rao’s office. She thought of Mo Yesi’s wound and how much blood he’d lost.
He s.n.a.t.c.hed the fruit knife from Little Xiao’s hand with his bare hands. The knife that should have stabbed her deeply cut his palm.
Although Lu Rao said that he was lucky not to have injured his muscles and bones, Qiao Mianmian still felt guilty.
If it wasn’t for her, Mo Yesi wouldn’t have been injured.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Mo Yesi frowned slightly and stopped in his tracks. He looked down at the woman beside him. “You’re my wife. At that time, if I didn’t s.h.i.+eld you, who would? I’m your husband, it’s my duty to protect you.
“If I can’t even do this, I’m not worthy of being your husband.
“Moreover, I only suffered a small injury on my hand. It’s not serious. You don’t have to feel sorry for me. You didn’t stab me, why are you apologizing to me?”
Qiao Mianmian’s eyes welled up with tears when she saw his gentle expression.
She bit her lip and said softly, “I know, but… if it wasn’t because of me, you wouldn’t have been injured.”
“You’ve never taken the initiative to cause trouble. I know you’re the one who’s afraid of trouble the most.” Mo Yesi smiled and rubbed her head gently. “Baby, listen to me. You don’t have to feel burdened by this.
“I’m actually glad that I was by your side when you were in danger. I’m also glad that I was the one who blocked that stab for you, and not anyone else. If Tu Yilei appeared again, I’d be jealous.”
Qiao Mianmian was speechless.
Why was Tu Yilei involved?
Could it be that this jealous king was still holding a grudge against him?
“In any case, I won’t allow you to be unhappy over this, and I won’t allow you to feel sorry for me. Do you understand?” The man’s tone was a little domineering, but his deep eyes were gentle as he looked down at her.
Qiao Mianmian pursed her lips. “…Mm, I got it. Does your wound still hurt?”
Mo Yesi shook his head and waved his injured hand in front of her eyes. “Lu Rao applied painkillers, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“Really?” Qiao Mianmian was a little suspicious.
“Mm, it’s true. Why would I lie to you?” Mo Yesi smiled. “Of course, it’s not completely gone. It does hurt a little, but it’s tolerable.. I’m a man, this pain is nothing to me.”
