Chapter 295: Chapter 296: Shot Oneself in the Foot

Hearing Yu Siqiao’s words, Mo Shu sincerely felt that straight men were just too naive.

Mo Shu chuckled lightly, "Really? Is that childhood friend male or female?"

"Female."

"Since it’s a female, that means there is a possibility of cheating. It’s perfectly normal for Xiao Yuan to be suspicious."

Yu Siqiao disagreed, "They’ve grown up together since they were kids, known each other for more than twenty years. If there were anything between them, wouldn’t it have surfaced long ago? Why wait until now?"

"Naive," Mo Shu looked up at Yu Siqiao and scoffed, "When a girl is alone and vulnerable, that’s when she’s most likely to let down her guard. Especially in the situation you mentioned, for a dancer, her legs are her life. When she’s at her most desperate, the one who stays by her side is definitely going to be seen as the best to her. Mr. Fei has also known her since childhood, so if she fell in love with him after this incident, it wouldn’t be impossible."

Yu Siqiao: "..." Is that so?

Mo Shu continued, "Moreover, if the man doesn’t actively keep his distance from other women, it’s very easy to give the wrong impression that he might be pursuing them. Add to that an existing dependence, and a few rounds later, some inappropriate feelings are bound to develop, isn’t that normal?"

Yu Siqiao shook his head, "That’s not normal. If you don’t like someone, you just don’t like them. After all these years, can’t people differentiate between gratitude and affection?"

"I don’t know if boys can make that distinction, but girls are emotional creatures."

"Being emotional means they can’t differentiate?"

"They can, but it’s hard," Mo Shu said, "Besides, the status of childhood friends is too ambiguous. No one likes their husband to have such a person around."

Yu Siqiao listened as if understanding but not quite, lost in thought for a moment.

Mo Shu went on, "Look at it from another angle. Suppose your wife has a childhood friend who, like that woman, gets injured, and your wife visits him every day. The two of them alone in a hospital room, can you guarantee their relationship is completely innocent and clean?"

Yu Siqiao scoffed, "You try?"

Mo Shu: "..."

Why did it feel like she had shot herself in the foot?

Yu Siqiao pulled her into his arms, whispering close to her ear, "No childhood friends allowed. Stay away from Meng Yunjing!"

Mo Shu, "What does Meng Yunjing have to do with it? He’s a relative, not a childhood friend!"

Yu Siqiao’s face darkened, grinding his teeth by her ear, "Either way, stay away from him!"

Just thinking about the way Meng Yunjing looked at her made him uncomfortable.

That look was as if he wanted to cling to her, with blatant affection written all over his face. He certainly wasn’t a fool!

Mo Shu felt his warm breath tickle her ear and couldn’t help but shrink away, laughing on purpose, "As a friend, isn’t it right to go visit?"

Yu Siqiao gritted his teeth, pinching her cheek, "Now you’re using my own words against me, huh?"

Mo Shu slapped away his hand, "You know it’s what you said, so why are you such a hypocrite? It’s all clean and innocent when it comes to men, no ulterior motives, but when it comes to women, you forbid it, disgusting, ugh, stinking men!"

Yu Siqiao felt utterly wronged, "I’m not the one visiting a childhood friend, why are you scolding me?"

"It’s not you who’s seeing her, but those are your words!" Mo Shu glared at him.

Yu Siqiao, feeling guilty under her glare, leaned in to cup her face and plant a kiss, "All right, I was wrong. If that’s the case, we’ll go visit together."

Anyway, all his childhood friends were guys, so such a mess was unlikely to happen.
