4️⃣2️⃣1️⃣ "I'm willing to cooperate with you unconditionally."
我愿意无条件地与您合作。
Wǒ yuànyì wútiáojiàn de yǔ nín hézuò.

She was bent on ruining her reputation and embarrassing her in school.

Also, Qiao Anxin saw her on the day of the audition. She might be trying to ruin her third female role after finding out that she'd been successful in obtaining it.

All of these were possible.

Upon thinking about that, Qiao Mianmian's ball of fury grew even bigger.

It seemed like she wasn't able to get away from it, even though she'd tried her best to.

Someone just wouldn't let her off.

If she still sat back and allowed herself to be attacked without countering it, she wouldn't be Qiao Mianmian.

She'd be a weak girl!

Qiao Mianmian was the sort of person who avoided conflicts because she didn't like blowing things up. But once she decided to fight back, she'd do a damned good job at it.

"You can do whatever you want." Mo Yesi sounded ready to indulge her. "Miss Qiao, I'm willing to cooperate with you unconditionally."

••••••••••

Qiao Chen found it out pretty quickly too.

He gave her a call halfway through their meal.

He said that the address was also the Qiao household.

Qiao Chen sounded furious over the phone. If Qiao Mianmian hadn't calmed him down and dissuaded him, he would've stormed to the Qiao household to beat Qiao Anxin up.

Thankfully, Qiao Mianmian managed to stop him.

After hanging up, she wasn't in the mood to eat anymore. She kept thinking about how to get back at Qiao Anxin.

After being in a daze for a while, a little pile of food had formed on her plate.

Mo Yesi pinched her cheek lightly. "Don't think about it now, have some food first. You can start thinking about it once you've filled your stomach."

"Oh."

Qiao Mianmian picked up her knife and fork and saw that the steak on her plate had been cut up already. The sizes were just right for her to consume each in one mouthful.

Meanwhile, Mo Yesi's steak was still in its intact state.

She felt all warm and fuzzy on the inside by this thoughtful act.

She had to admit that while Mo Yesi seemed aloof and unapproachable, he was actually very good at caring for others when he set his heart to it.
