Chapter 360: We Are the Most Compatible Couple
The man slowly lifted his other hand and placed it on the woman. “Are you going to give me medicine then?”
“…”
…
Later, in the bathroom, Mo Jiangye was enjoying some relaxing bath time with his wife in his arms when she suddenly grabbed hold of his hands and started childishly playing with the bubbles in the bathtub.
“I don’t think Yahan is a good match for Xu Xu.”
With eyes brimming with tenderness, he glimpsed down at the woman in his embrace. “Yeah. They’re incompatible.”
“They don’t look like a couple when they stand next to each other.”
“Yeah, they don’t.” We’re the most compatible couple after all. No other couple would look as compatible as us.
“I meant what I said.”
“Mm.”
“Somehow, I have the feeling that she’s no simple woman. I saw her staring at you earlier.”
His lips curled upward. “Mm.”
“To be honest, I think Xu Xu can most definitely find a better woman than his current girlfriend, but of course, I can only say this to you in private.”
Fang Yahan was his buddy’s girlfriend, after all. She could not possibly talk trash about his girlfriend in front of him.
Besides, given his good looks and illustrious family background, the two of them truly were an incompatible match. It was not about the issue of social standing, but rather about the fact that she did not look like a simple, kind lady.
“Mm.” The man hummed in acknowledgment again as he reached out to re-tie his wife’s long hair.
“My sixth sense tells me that she seems to have approached Xu Xu with a motive—No! She definitely has a motive.”
One would generally get an accurate first impression of another person, and the vibe that this woman gave off made her feel uncomfortable.
Ye Erruo’s first impression of this woman was that she seemed to be a woman with secrets, like a cloud of fog one could not see clearly through. She was not as docile and gentle as her facade suggested. Even thinking back now, she thought that the vibe she exuded felt off.
“Mm.”
“When we were having dinner, she would get Xu Xu to give her the same dishes that you got for me. Even I noticed this odd action, yet it did not stop her from staring at you. I could tell that something was wrong with her expression at first glance.”
“I know you’re jealous, Baby Ruo.”
She was repeating the whole “Yahan was staring at you” story for the third time.
“Why would I be jealous?” She pushed her husband’s head away from her. “Also, why do I feel that you’re being awfully quiet today?”
While holding her closely in his arms, he rested his head on her shoulder. “I’m listening to what you have to say.”
“Well, I’m done speaking now. Don’t you have any thoughts on this matter?”
“That woman won’t make it past the doorstep of his family’s house. If Xu Xu continues to be stupid and fails to realize that there’s anything wrong with his girlfriend, I’ll pry his head apart.”
She took his hands in hers and interlocked their fingers. “Let’s see how they get along with each other first. I’m sure he’ll realize that this girl isn’t a suitable partner for him. After all, I think that the reason she is staying by his side is because of his family background.”
The man tugged his lips up into a wry smile. “I share the same sentiment.”
Upon hearing his short reply, she turned her head and shot him a quizzical glance. What’s up with him today? He usually rattles off nonstop, so why is he so quiet today?
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Want to know?”
“Just tell me.”
He started whining. “You’ve been harping on about Xu Xu and his girlfriend the entire night. Did you spare a thought for my feelings at all?”
“What feelings?”
The man solemnly said, “You haven’t said my name the whole day. You’ve long forgotten about me. You no longer have a place for me in your heart.”
He was terribly upset to hear her harping on about other people’s affairs instead of paying attention to him.
Her face darkened upon hearing that answer. “Mo Jiangye.”
“Yes, I’m here, Baby Ruo,” he immediately responded. “I’m right here.”
All at once, his mood improved considerably. The dark, gloomy clouds that had been hanging over him instantly dissipated as well.
“…”
