Chapter 284: Ignoring You Hurts Me More Than It Hurts You
“I’m sorry, Baby. I’m sorry. Forgive me. A man overcome with jealousy loses his rationality sometimes and does the weirdest things.
“I’m just too jealous of Su Ze. I know you and he are never getting back together. You’re my wife now, I shouldn’t be jealous of a man who isn’t any threat to me.”
He bared his heart to her now.
“But the thought of him knowing you 10 years earlier than I did, and that he got to accompany you through so much while witnessing your growth over the years… I find it hard not to be bothered by it.”
He couldn’t be that magnanimous.
Unless he didn’t have feelings for her.
Qiao Mianmian was still leaning against his chest, hearing his heartbeat and his voice all at once. She felt a lot better after hearing his explanation.
He didn’t directly express that he was jealous because he was too concerned for her.
But these words were enough.
As Jiang Luoli said, he was so bothered and angered only because he truly liked her a lot.
And if that was the case…
Then her words were really overboard.
“I’m sorry.” She looked up apologetically, trying not to choke on her words. “Mo Yesi, I’m sorry. I was in the wrong too. I shouldn’t have said what I said. I won’t say those ever again. Don’t be angry anymore, okay?”
“I’m not angry anymore.”
Mo Yesi looked down and cupped her face in his hand, stroking her swollen eyes. “How could I bear to be angry with you? Actually, I was already on the way here when you sent me the message.
“Baby, just the thought that you might still be upset and crying hurts me.”
How could he bear to leave her alone?
When he was fuming just a while ago, he actually thought of ignoring her for a few days.
But he didn’t even manage to make it past the hour, much less the next few days.
He was looking through his documents, but his mind was preoccupied with her.
He’d never thought that someday, he could become this way because of a woman.
Qiao Mianmian blinked and looked at him, a little lost. “When I sent you the message, you were already about to look for me?”
“Mm.” Mo Yesi nodded. “So, Baby, don’t you think we’re rather telepathic?”
She mumbled, “But why?”
Wasn’t he still angry with her?
Why would he come to look for her?
Mo Yesi knew what she was asking and stroked her face. “Baby, I couldn’t bear it.”
The man’s voice was low and almost sympathetic. “Ignoring you hurts me more than it hurts you. It was a punishment for myself.
“Can we reconcile?” He wasn’t able to go on torturing himself this way. “Let’s take it that none of this happened. We’ll not fight anymore, alright? Let’s not bring Su Ze up again. Whether you have feelings for him, I won’t get angry with you over it anymore.
“You can continue to like him, it’s alright if you can’t forget him. We still have a long way to go. I will do what I can to be the only person in your heart.”
“I don’t have feelings for him anymore.”
Qiao Mianmian was no longer upset about this. She calmly said, “From the moment he betrayed me with Qiao Anxin, he was already dead to me.”
