Chapter 416: Chapter 416

On the other side of Rong City, inside the He Mansion.

It’s already nightfall at this moment.

On the bed, He Qimo sits with his arms crossed, coldly watching everything before him.

Thinking about what Shen Jian妮 said when he left that afternoon, he lowers his gaze and irritably rubs his temples.

He was quite stunned then.

Did he believe his relationship with Shen Jian妮 was that intimate?

What does she mean? After just sleeping together, she acts like the official wife, monitoring his whereabouts?

Looking at the card just handed to her, he seriously doubts if Shen Jian妮 misunderstood something?

He coldly stares, and Shen Jian妮 naturally feels a subconscious crisis about the card’s safety.

When she places it under her buttocks, she angrily exclaims, "What are you imagining! I mean, your mom always thinks I’m just the mistress you keep for fun, completely ignoring my presence. If you want me to torment her a bit, you have to give me some support, right? I don’t care what you do during the day, but at night you have to come back and sleep with me! Otherwise, if your mom embarrasses me again, who knows what I’ll do when I lose my temper!"

Back then, hearing this, he nearly exploded in anger.

Angrily glancing at her, he spat out, "Crazy!"

Despite saying this, at this moment, he still returned angrily with a cold face.

Lying on the bed, he can’t quite believe he’s capable of this, what’s the situation? Actually being led around by Shen Jian妮?

Looking at Shen Jian妮 beside him, laughing smugly as he returned...

His face darkens, "What are you laughing at!"

Of course, Shen Jian妮 is happy, especially when He Qimo left with a cold face in the afternoon; she thought this man definitely wouldn’t come back to help her, considering the troublesome Zhou Huimei, she’d prepared how to turn the He Family upside down.

Looking at the cold yet handsome man before her, Shen Jian妮 suppresses her excitement, eagerly moving closer to massage He Qimo’s legs and shoulders, "Not laughing, not laughing, Mr. He comes back to help me, I can’t thank you enough, how could I laugh?"

This intimate gesture makes He Qimo even more uncomfortable, he shifts slightly away, coldly saying, "Sit further away!"

Shen Jian妮’s face darkens, feeling displeased inside.

What a hypocritical bastard! Naked in the afternoon, now pretending to be proper!

But it’s good that He Qimo is willing to come back!

Thinking of Zhou Huimei’s shocked and pale face when He Qimo entered earlier, Shen Jian妮 feels invigorated.

So she doesn’t mind much.

Shen Jian妮 pouts toward He Qimo, snorts, "Sit further away then sit further away..."

She moves half a seat over, grabs the TV remote, and happily starts watching TV.

With Shen Jian妮 behaving, He Qimo, now calm, gradually sinks into thought, asking the question he wants answered.

"What you mean is, whether I come back to sleep with you at night affects my mom’s attitude towards you?"

He Qimo’s voice is calm and deep.

Shen Jian妮 hears this and is taken aback, looking at him, "You came back to find this out?"

Isn’t that obvious! He Qimo glares at her, turning his face away.

He’s been married to Gu Zixuan for eight years, to be honest, although there were many cold wars, there were also many times when their relationship was warm and good. But even so, his mother always ridiculed Gu Zixuan, not to mention in the past few years, he always supported Gu Zixuan no matter how their relationship was, especially when his mother was with Gu Zixuan, he was almost purely biased. But for some reason, his mother just targeted her.

And... Zixuan doesn’t trust him.

Is it just because they don’t share a room?

He Qimo had never considered this issue until today when Shen Jian妮 brought it up...

He Qimo maintained a cold silence, Shen Jian妮 glanced at him and then lowered the TV volume, saying, "Of course, what era are we in? Men and women, you marry a wife you love, how could you not touch her? Don’t say Gu Zixuan doesn’t believe it, it’s incomprehensible. No woman would believe it, especially your mom, who thinks you’re the best golden egg in the world. Seeing a woman who doesn’t care for you holding back on giving her a grandson, delaying your bright future, it’s not surprising she wants to sweep her out with a broom."

Facing He Qimo’s even colder expression, Shen Jian妮 pursed her lips, "I’m telling the truth! You may not like hearing it, but it’s the truth! In your mom’s mind, you’re like the perfect mama’s boy, you’re the best in the world, and no one is good enough for you. The whole world’s women should kneel before you singing ’Conquest,’ and they should flatter her, making her a noble lady along the way."

He Qimo’s lips pressed tighter. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net

Shen Jian妮: "Also, your mom and Gu Zixuan have completely different personalities and temperaments. Whatever Gu Zixuan does, your mom feels is contempt for her. Over time, since you don’t care about Gu Zixuan, your mom will definitely become more and more extreme in wanting to deal with her."

Is that so? Just because he doesn’t sleep with Gu Zixuan, does it make these women notice so much? Think so much?

He Qimo pursed his lips, feeling it might be true, but still found it a bit unbelievable.

Shen Jian妮 felt smug.

He Qimo paused, furrowed his brows unhappily, then sneered, "Since you understand so well, what do you say about Zhou Xiao?"

Shen Jian妮 laughed disdainfully, not fearing He Qimo’s provocation, directly saying, "Zhou Xiao is even easier to understand! She thinks you’re giving her a chance."

"I’m giving her a chance?" He Qimo frowned, seeming to find it even more far-fetched.

Shen Jian妮 nodded, saying, "Don’t find it unbelievable, that’s just the fact. Though you reject Zhou Xiao, it’s all one-sided. Gu Zixuan doesn’t know, outsiders don’t know, you only care about having a clear conscience, refusing to explain to anyone, including Zhou Xiao, who you don’t bother explaining much to. So, although Zhou Xiao feels frustrated with you, seeing that Gu Zixuan doesn’t seem much better, and you never deny impossibility in front of others. Naturally, she thinks you are with every woman and still has the opportunity to compete."

He Qimo’s frown became deeper.

"Look at Feng Chengjin, he’s not like that. Though he doesn’t explicitly state he’s not interested in other women, he’s all praises for Gu Zixuan. His gaze only falls on Gu Zixuan, and explanations are only for her to hear. Other women aren’t idiots, his silent demeanor says it all, and they know there’s absolutely no chance with him. Plus, he doesn’t embarrass other women; even if they fail in confessing, he lets them gracefully retreat, leaving it as a one-sided crush without wanting to sabotage him. Unlike you..."

Facing He Qimo’s almost enraged cold look after being compared, Shen Jian妮 shook her head.

"You’ve offended all the women who confessed to you. People have self-esteem; do you really think you can act like a domineering CEO and tell those women to scram, and they’ll just leave willingly? That only applies when identities aren’t equal. When they are, and you give no face, they’ll get angry. Even if they don’t like you, they’ll want to peel a layer off the woman you like to prove they aren’t inferior."

Listening to Shen Jian妮’s detailed tirades, He Qimo felt depressed, frustrated, and silent...

Is it really ? Are women really such complicated and sensitive creatures?

In truth, at the end of the day, it’s all because he treats Gu Zixuan poorly?

Treating one poorly, making countless women feel there’s a chance, and leaving Gu Zixuan with no confidence in him?

...Red-Sleeves-Add-Fragrance-Exclusive-First-Publish-Divide-Line...

He Qimo was speechless.

Shen Jian妮 paused, rolled her eyes playfully, saying, "Moreover, you’re too cold to everyone, too self-centered. You think things should always start from benefits and never consider whether others accept them. This long-term oppression makes others harbor resentment, and once resentment builds, it will..."

The first half sounded somewhat reasonable to He Qimo.

With a distant cold look, He Qimo chuckled, "It will be like you, looking for every chance to retaliate against me?"

How did he figure it out?

Shen Jian妮 was speechless, deeply feeling the man before her was excessively cunning!

He Qimo paused, leaned close, raised his hand to hold Shen Jian妮’s little head that tried to turn away, forcing her to face him.

Along with a cold smile, he said, "Shen Jian妮, don’t play your tricks in front of me. I act with a clear conscience, don’t bother explaining, and care little for others’ perspectives. But that doesn’t mean when I say scram, it’s ineffective. For instance, if someone wants to play tricks in front of me, trying to brainwash and coax me to treat her better, guess what I’d say?"

In an instant, Shen Jian妮’s lips twitched, "Scram..."

"So, behave~~~" He Qimo laughed coldly.

Releasing her, He Qimo glanced over, grabbed the remote, and started switching channels.

Next to him, Shen Jian妮’s heart ran ten thousand little trains...

Instantly grabbing a pillow, she threw it at the back of his head, shouting, "You jerk, you damn scoundrel!"
