Chapter 610 - Not Because of Xiaoxiao

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mo Xiaomeng couldn't articulate what she was feeling. Her heart felt a little stuffy and uncomfortable, and she was even a little angry.

Why did he kiss her if he liked Xiaoxiao?

She bit her lip, and a mist came over her eyes and there was grievance and sorrow in them.

So it turned out that this guy was a jerk who played with the feelings of other people!

She had even…

Mo Xiaomeng shook her head. She didn't want to think about this anymore.

Not wanting to eavesdrop any longer, she turned to leave.

In the study.

Upon hearing his mother's words, Ye Sijue's handsome features looked amused. "Mom, what are you talking about! Since when have I said that I liked Xiaoxiao? Also, don't go around sprouting such things. It wouldn't be good if the Yins or Xiaoxiao and her friends hear of it."

Mama Ye looked stubborn as she said, "Don't lie to me. Don't you have a box of things hiding all the things that Xiaoxiao gave you? You also liked to look for Xiaoxiao when you were a kid. You smiled much more when you were with her too. If you don't like her, then what else can it be?"

Ye Sijue didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. "What box? Are you talking about those things that I hid when I was young? Mom! That box contains not only stuff Xiaoxiao had gifted, but also Shaojie and the rest. Your view is only clouded because you really want Xiaoxiao to marry into our family."

He had indeed played with Xiaoxiao a lot when they were little, but Yin Shaojie and the rest were also there, so he didn't hang out with only Xiaoxiao.

Frankly speaking, he went to the Yins to find Shaojie, not Xiaoxiao.

However, the adults simply liked to match their kids together as they watched them play.

Mama Ye frowned. Upon hearing his explanation, she was a little shocked, as though she had an inkling that her judgement was wrong, but still didn't believe it.

"Is it really? Don't lie to your mom! You really don't like Xiaoxiao?"

Ye Sijue thought for a moment before saying, "I do like her, but not in the way that you think. Also, Shaojie and Xiaoxiao are now engaged, and their relationship with each other is really good, so you should get rid of your false notions."

Mama Ye sighed. She still looked really regretful. "But I really want Xiaoxiao to marry into our family…"

Ye Sijue laughed as he said, "You're aiming for the Mus fortune? You want to expand our family's influence using a marriage to the Mus?"

After all, Xiaoxiao's background was really special, and could not be compared to anyone else's.

Mama Ye glared at him. She sounded unhappy as she said, "So you think that your mom is such a person? I'm only thinking this way because I like Xiaoxiao, and you were friends since you were little with a good relationship!"

Of course, it couldn't be denied that the Mus were really influential. Anyone who was acquainted with the Mus and knew of the existence of this rich young mistress would have thought about a union with them.

Ye Sijue walked towards his mother and stood by her side. He rubbed her shoulders to pacify her as he smiled and said, "I was only kidding. I know how much you like Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao's so cute that there wasn't one elder who didn't like her and pamper her when she was growing up. Even if she didn't come from her background, there are still many people who want her to marry into their family."

Mama Ye nodded as she said, "That's true. Everyone said that they like Xiaoxiao, and wanted her to become their daughter-in-law at our sisters' gathering."

The Hans and the Songs were no exception.
