I'm Secretly Married to a Big Shot

Chapter 621 - I Was Just Joking



Chapter 621: I Was Just Joking

Just as she expected, there was a scarf in the box.

She picked it up to have a closer look before placing it back into the case. She then smiled gently and said, “It’s great, I like it.”

She wasn’t going to express her disdain in front of everyone.

But she knew that she was never going to wear it.

Mo Yesi turned and hugged Qiao Mianmian. He then said, “I’ve told you. Grandma and Mom loved your gift. Are you relieved now?”

Qiao Mianmian wasn’t blind.

It was obvious that Madam Mo didn’t like it.

Even though she had said that she liked it, everyone could tell that she was lying.

But she couldn’t wish for more already.

“Is that right?” Qiao Mianmian replied smilingly. “I’m so happy that Mom and Grandma loved the gifts.”

“Both Grandma and Mom received a gift. Where’s mine?” Mo Shixiu realized something was amiss as he noticed Madam Mo’s reaction. He then joked to ease up the tension.

“Ah?”

Qiao Mianmian didn’t realize that he was joking. She turned towards him and replied apologetically, “I’m sorry, Big Brother. I wasn’t aware that you were at home. I’ll get you one next time, alright?”

It was so awkward when she addressed Mo Shixiu as “Big Brother.”

She wasn’t used to it.

She was already nervous enough addressing him while Mo Yesi was there.

This was Mo Shixiu!

Someone Qiao Mianmian could only see on the news.

One of the leaders of the country.

Mo Shixiu was amused by her reaction and replied jokingly, “Sis-in-law, it’s alright. Relax, I was just joking. I didn’t prepare anything for you as well.

“I’ll get one for you next time as well.”

Qiao Mianmian replied, “Erm, then… Thanks, big brother.”

She realized that Mo Shixiu was more approachable when he smiled.

He seemed to have a great personality as well.

Like someone easy to get along with.

She felt less nervous talking to him already.

“It’s time for dinner,” Old Madam said as she got up. She then gestured smilingly towards Qiao Mianmian. “Come here, Mianmian. Let’s go. Sit next to me during dinner.”

Old Madam could tell that Madam Mo didn’t like Qiao Mianmian.

Even though she had received the gift, she did so unwillingly.

Madam Mo didn’t put in much effort to conceal her dislike.

It was so obvious to an old woman like her. Qiao Mianmian must have noticed it as well.

Old Madam really liked Qiao Mianmian and didn’t want her to be treated badly.

As she saw that Madam Mo was treating Qiao Mianmian poorly, she wanted to compensate by treating her well.

Qiao Mianmian noticed that Old Madam was calling out to her. She immediately let go of Mo Yesi’s hand and went over to her.

She held onto Old Madam’s hand affectionately and said, “Alright, grandma. I want to be close to you as well. I have so much to tell you.”

“What a wonderful girl.” Old Madam’s smile widened as she continued, “Do stay the night. I have a lot to tell you as well.”

“Erm…”

Qiao Mianmian turned towards Mo Yesi for his opinion.

Mo Yesi nodded. “Since Grandma wants us to stay for the night, we’ll stay then.”

Old Madam was elated. She held onto Qiao Mianmian and asked smilingly, “Will you go for a walk with me after dinner?”

“Sure.”

Qiao Mianmian would agree to whatever Old Madam said.
