Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Liking Someone Doesn’t Mean You Can Be Together
Using all her strength, Xi Wei pushed Li Mingmo away and stood up, straightening her clothes.
Li Mingmo looked at her indifferent attitude and resentfully said to her, "Xi Wei, aren’t you going to help me? They’re all bullying me like this."
In the past, she had always protected him the most.
No matter who said harsh words to him, she wouldn’t allow it, even if it was her most admired, most beloved childhood friend and brother who said something to him.
She would never hesitate to confront them without holding back.
In front of her dad and brothers, she would protect him even more fiercely.
Every time he saw her protect him like a little leopard, he would feel delighted and satisfied.
Xi Wei rolled her eyes indelicately again, "Why should I help you? I think it’s already very generous of Haoxue and Ji Hanyu to let you sleep in the doghouse. You should know, the doghouse at Snowfield Manor has pretty good conditions too."
Li Mingmo: "..."
"Go ahead and sleep in your doghouse." Xi Wei picked up her bag, stepped elegantly in her high heels, and left with a noble and cold demeanor.
Li Mingmo: "..."
Sigh, she really has changed!
Li Mingmo sighed and continued to lie lifelessly on the couch.
Earlier, he was just pretending, but this time, it seemed a bit genuine...
Ji Hanyu and Bai Haoxue returned from their walk to find Li Mingmo still lying lifelessly on the couch.
Bai Haoxue teased, "Li Mingmo, I just saw Yiyi, did you tattle? How did it go?"
Li Mingmo, "Bai Haoxue, you woman, why do you have such a wicked sense of humor? Ji Hanyu, keep your wife in check."
Ji Hanyu snorted coldly, "Just mind your own business."
Li Mingmo said, "Fine, I won’t say anything, not that I can win against you anyway."
Ji Hanyu, "Finally, you have one good quality—self-awareness."
Li Mingmo: "..."
Oh, come on!
"I’m done arguing with you." Not like I can win anyway.
Li Mingmo stood up, "I have something serious to discuss with you.
I’m heading to the capital of M Country tomorrow for a mission, and I’m leaving Xi Wei in your care."
Ji Hanyu, "Is that your serious matter?"
Li Mingmo, "Got a problem with that?"
So he’s allowed to dote on his wife, but I can’t care about Xi Wei?
Li Mingmo handed a bag of medicine and a piece of paper full of notes to Bai Haoxue.
"This medicine is prescribed by that old doctor for Xi Wei to condition her body. She hates taking medicine and always sneaks to dump it out. Please supervise her and make sure she takes it."
"The paper lists her eating habits and lifestyle. She’s injured this time and needs to recuperate well. There are many things she shouldn’t eat, so please keep an eye on her too."
Bai Haoxue took the items, "You still claim not to like Yiyi? How long are you going to be stubborn like a dead duck?"
Li Mingmo, for once seriously, said, "Many times, liking someone doesn’t mean you can be together."
Bai Haoxue said nothing more, perhaps Li Mingmo truly had his own reasons.
But why can’t he say it aloud?
No matter what it is, only by saying it out loud can you solve the problem.
She and Ji Hanyu are a perfect example of that.
Ji Hanyu said, "You’re going to the capital of M Country? Then help me keep an eye on Ye Jinyan; he’s there too.
Especially watch who he interacts with. If there’s anything suspicious, contact me immediately."
"Why watch him? Did he provoke you?" Li Mingmo said: "You’re really jealous, aren’t you? More is less, understand?"
Ji Hanyu raised an eyebrow, "I increasingly feel that Ji Yiyi and Xi Wei make quite a good pair, don’t you think?"
Li Mingmo: "..."
"You win!"
