Mo Yesi: "Baby, it's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong, I'm the one who should be apologizing. It's my fault for saying all the spiteful things in a fit of anger. I shouldn't have hurt you this way. I'm sorry, Baby. I'm sorry. Forgive me. A man overcome with jealousy loses his rationality sometimes and does the weirdest things. I'm just too jealous of Su Ze. I know you and he are never getting back together. You're my wife now, I shouldn't be jealous of a man who isn't any threat to me. But the thought of him knowing you 10 years earlier than I did, and that he got to accompany you through so much while witnessing your growth over the years... I find it hard not to be bothered by it."

2️⃣8️⃣1️⃣ "Don't touch my bottom line."
不要触碰我的底线。
Bùyào chù pèng wǒ de dǐxiàn.

She felt awful again when she thought about him being married.

"20 years already?" Mo Yesi nodded calmly, but still sounded distant. "Then you should know me well enough to know that even my closest friends, or my family, in fact, can't cross my bottom line."

Shen Rou's expression changed instantly.

She blinked tentatively. "Ah Si..."

Mo Yesi cut her off unpleasantly. "I don't know what you said to Mianmian; she didn't tell me about it. But I hope you weren't finding trouble with her. If our years of friendship still matter to you, then you'd better be good to her.

She's someone I care about. I don't expect you to treat her the way I do, but at the very least, I hope you treat her well on my account."

If you can't even achieve that, then it's best we don't see each other often."

Shen Rou clenched her fist, digging her nails into her palm. "So... she's your bottom line now?"

Mo Yesi did not deny it, nor did he respond to her directly. "Shen Rou, don't touch my bottom line. I don't wish to use unkind means to deal with my FRIENDS."

He emphasized the word "friends".

"I hope we'll remain friends for the rest of our lives, the way we are now."

Mo Yesi furrowed his brows slightly as he recalled what Qiao Mianmian had just said. He tried to get the point across tactfully.

Shen Rou was a very smart girl.

If she really had an interest in him that way, she should be able to get the subtext.

"Friends for the rest of our lives?" Shen Rou repeated this statement as her face got increasingly pale.

Mo Yesi looked at her with his clear eyes. "Yes, friends for the rest of our lives."

"Ah Si, you..." Shen Rou's lips quivered like she was losing control of her emotions and was about to spill a secret she'd kept for years.

But Mo Yesi didn't give her a chance to do that.

Before she went on, he said, "I still have something to attend to, you can go first."
