Chapter 48

He Was Overjoyed

Gong Fei! Gong Mo roared with anger.

What? Gong Fei lifted her chin arrogantly.

You! Gong Mo panted in fury. Who are you calling a dog?

Your husband, of course! Gong Fei laughed coldly. Did you think you found a gem? Hes merely a dog!

You! Gong Mo raised her handbag and tried to hit Gong Fei with it.

Sheng Nanxuan held her back nimbly. She turned around and looked at him in confusion.

He was smiling. Its alright. Lets not lower ourselves to her level. With that, he took her away.

He was overjoyed that Gong Mo tried to defend him, so he decided to let Gong Fei go. Even though Gong Fei did go overboard, she was still Gong Mos cousin, and although Gong Mo disliked her as well, she would not have been able to live with herself if she had done something bad to Gong Fei. A few steps later, they heard something smash. Gong Mo looked down and saw the shattered remains of a cup and tea leaves on Sheng Nanxuans soaked back.

Gong Mo trembled with rage as she turned back to glare at the crowd. Youre too much! Who threw it?!

Everyone looked at one another, then looked away in silence. No one wanted to tell her the culprit.

Sheng Nanxuan patted the shoulder. Lets go.

Gong Mo was so mad she was about to cry. She held him as they left the card room. When they were outside, she took out a tissue and wiped him off. Sheng Nanxuan was wearing a white top and although she got the tea leaves off, the tan tea had already stained his s.h.i.+rt. Gong Mo wiped her tears off and accompanied him back to the guesthouse to change.

After entering his room, Sheng Nanxuan took a fresh s.h.i.+rt and walked into the toilet.

It was Gong Mos first time here, so she inspected the place. This room looked very normal. It was worlds apart from the presidential suite he lived in previously.

Sheng Nanxuan came out after changing. Noticing that she was still crying, he couldnt help but ask, Whats wrong? Why are you still crying? Do you feel sorry for me?

I just feel apologetic towards you, cried Gong Mo

Its not a big deal. Im a man who can both give and take. Ill get my revenge eventually.

I shouldnt have brought you there. Gong Mo was full of self-blame.

But I wanted to go there myself. You didnt want me to go.

Gong Mo had nothing to say.

Sheng Nanxuan smiled and sat down beside her. Dont cry anymore. Why feel upset over someone unimportant? Lets think about what to eat for lunch. We definitely cant go back now or well have to explain to Ma and shell be upset too.

Gong Mo sighed. I was wondering why my relatives didnt come looking for trouble when they knew about your circ.u.mstances. It turns out that they wanted to let Gong Fei orchestrate this drama for all my cla.s.smates to know.

Theyre only losing their heads because theyre bored, said Sheng Nanxuan. What good will this do them?

Its enough for them if it doesnt do us good, said Gong Mo. Theyre like dogs bullying a tiger because it left its habitat. If you were still the Second Young Master of the Sheng family, theyd be all over you trying to get on your good side, but instead they even dared to throw stuff at you!

You can tell who they really are from their actions, at least. You dont have to stay in contact with such cla.s.smates in the future.

Gong Mo nodded. But are you really alright?

Why wouldnt I be?

Arent you upset about that humiliating treatment? You were once influential, but youre now looked down upon by everyone.

Looked down upon? Why should I care about that? asked Sheng Nanxuan. Are you afraid that youd be looked down upon as well if were together?
