Ditsy Wife: Mysterious Husband is Unfathomable-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? He’s 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. “It’s alright. Let’s 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 Mo’s 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 Nanxuan’s soaked back.

Gong Mo trembled with rage as she turned back to glare at the crowd. “You’re 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. “Let’s 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 shirt. Gong Mo wiped her tears off and accompanied him back to the guesthouse to change.

After entering his room, Sheng Nanxuan took a fresh shirt and walked into the toilet.

It was Gong Mo’s 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 couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Why are you still crying? Do you feel sorry for me?” 𝐟r𝑒ℯ𝘄𝐞𝙗ｎov𝚎𝙡. 𝑐𝘰𝘮

“I just feel apologetic towards you,” cried Gong Mo

“It’s not a big deal. I’m a man who can both give and take. I’ll get my revenge eventually.”

“I shouldn’t have brought you there.” Gong Mo was full of self-blame.

“But I wanted to go there myself. You didn’t want me to go.”

Gong Mo had nothing to say.

Sheng Nanxuan smiled and sat down beside her. “Don’t cry anymore. Why feel upset over someone unimportant? Let’s think about what to eat for lunch. We definitely can’t go back now or we’ll have to explain to Ma and she’ll be upset too.”

Gong Mo sighed. “I was wondering why my relatives didn’t come looking for trouble when they knew about your circumstances. It turns out that they wanted to let Gong Fei orchestrate this drama for all my classmates to know.”

“They’re only losing their heads because they’re bored,” said Sheng Nanxuan. “What good will this do them?”

“It’s enough for them if it doesn’t do us good,” said Gong Mo. “They’re like dogs bullying a tiger because it left its habitat. If you were still the Second Young Master of the Sheng family, they’d 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 don’t have to stay in contact with such classmates in the future.”

Gong Mo nodded. “But… are you really alright?”

“Why wouldn’t I be?”

“Aren’t you upset about that humiliating treatment? You were once influential, but you’re now looked down upon by everyone.”

“Looked down upon? Why should I care about that?” asked Sheng Nanxuan. “Are you afraid that you’d be looked down upon as well if we’re together?”
