“Ever since I was young, I’ve always liked to get doubles of everything I buy.” Xue Ni deliberately blushed as she spoke.
She was hinting that she and Shi Mo had grown up together and that their relationship was not a simple one.
It was not something that a newcomer could compare to.
If Fang Mo’er was really unhappy about it, she would seem unreasonable.
Xue Ni thought to herself that perhaps it would be best if she could make Fang Mo’er angry which would show Shi Mo that this person was not worthy of him.
Fang Mo’er narrowed her eyes as she looked at Xue Ni, who had an innocent look on her face. She smiled and said, “Oh, that means I have to call you sister, since you and Shi Mo are like brother and sister. Speaking of which, you have to call me sister-in-law then. If it’s a gift from my sister, no matter how inappropriate it is, I have to accept it.”
Fang Mo’er acted as if she was the hostess. Without waiting for Xue Ni’s reaction, she kept the gift that Shi Mo had pushed away and placed it into her backpack.
She had earned a necklace without doing anything and would be able to sell it for a lot of money.
Xue Ni’s eyebrows twitched.
Fang Mo’er was implying that she and Shi Mo were only like brother and sister.
“Miss Fang…” Xue Ni wanted to say something.
However, she was interrupted by Fang Mo’er. Fang Mo’er smiled faintly and said, “Please, call me sister-in-law.”
For a moment, Xue Ni really did not know how to reply to this.
In the end, Xue Ni interrupted, “Since you’ve already accepted the gift, let’s play something interesting.”
Only then did she move past the topic.
Fang Mo’er was very satisfied with Shi Mo’s way of returning the gift. She immediately smiled and nodded without saying a word.
The small group then began to play ‘Truth or Dare’ together.
At this time, Xue Ni purposely stood up and leaned over to pour Shi Mo some wine, her skirt almost touching Shi Mo’s body.
Fang Mo’er frowned and saw that Xue Ni had also poured herself a full glass of red wine.
Xue Ni’s heartbeat quickened and she blushed slightly. She sat down as if nothing had happened.
She rolled the dice and the game began.
The guests who were present knew each other very well. This time, they were mainly targeting Fang Mo’er.
Xue Ni lowered her head and sneered. She did not believe that she would not be able to control the game. She knew Fang Mo’er’s information like the back of her hand.
In the first round, Xue Ni lost.
Xue Ni said generously, “Go ahead.”
The young master who was asking the question glanced at Shi Mo before pretending to ask casually, “Tell me who is the person you admire the most?”
Fang Mo’er lowered her head and looked at the wine glass in her hand, but she did not drink it.
Xue Lei knew that Xue Ni had admired Shi Mo since she was young. Her heart was as clear as a mirror, he thought, as he glanced at Shi Mo.
Xue Ni stared at Shi Mo and said, “The person I admire the most is right here. He is the most influential person in the business world. He is always calm and has a sense of propriety. He is a very rational person.”
Shi Mo raised his eyebrows. All this while, he had only known that Xue Ni respected him. He had not expected to be the person that she admired the most.
Hearing this, Shi Mo raised his glass and nodded in Xue Ni’s direction to pay his respects to her.
The other young masters started to laugh.
Fang Mo’er lowered her head and curled her lips. It was obvious that everyone was ignoring her.
Although the others had addressed Fang Mo’er as ‘sister-in-law’, they did not actually show her much respect. Instead, it seemed like they wanted to pair Xue Ni and Shi Mo up.
The wine in Fang Mo’er’s hand swirled, but she did not drink it.
She could tell that Xue Ni and Shi Mo had been good friends since they were young. She could not allow herself to be provoked into anger by the other party at this moment, lest she made Shi Mo lose face.
In the next round, Fang Mo’er lost the truth test.
Xue Ni’s eyes lit up when she saw this. This was the moment she had been waiting for.
“Let me ask.” Xue Ni smiled and pretended to be innocent, “Who was your first love?”
Fang Mo’er’s originally calm expression suddenly stiffened and she gave Xue Ni an intense look.
