“Ha!” Ying Xiaoxiao sneered. “Rosiley, do you really trust Morphy that much? What if he just finds it a novelty and soon gets tired of Yayoi, jilting her? What should we do then?”
No, she did not trust Morphy, and nor did she believe he would oppose his grandfather because of Yayoi. As a scion of a renowned family, he could only compromise and not protest.
Rosiley gave a light smile. “I trust Morphy.”
As her voice faded away, she stared at the silent Morphy. “Morphy. you’re Sachin’s younger cousin. I know best what Sachin is like. Therefore, I trust that you’re like him. You must treat Yayoi well.”
At this point, she gave a low chuckle. “Of course, if I am proven wrong in the end, then… ” Her expression suddenly became solemn. “I won’t let you off.”
“sister-in-law, I won’t let you down.” Morphy gave his promise.
But Ying Xiaoxiao did not care for it. “Morphy, Rosiley might have faith in you but I don’t. Anyway, I don’t consent to you being with Yayoi. Both in the past and right now, and in the future too.”
Ying Xiaoxiao had expressed herself very clearly. If a relationship started with only one-sided love, it would soon be defeated by reality.
She was Yayoi’s bosom friend and confidante. She would never allow her beloved friend to suffer even a little hurt.
“Xiaoxiao… why are you doing this?” Rosiley felt helpless over Xiaoxiao’s objection. To be honest, she felt the same as Xiaoxiao in the depths of her heart. She had neither consented to nor supported Yayoi’s relationship with Morphy.
But she knew better than Xiaoxiao. There were really some things that they could not decide.
At this moment, Yayoi spoke. “Xiaoxiao, I can handle my own affairs. No matter what harm I suffer in the future, I will endure it myself, so I don’t need your consent and support.”
“Yayoi, what are you saying?” Rosiley reprimanded in a low voice.
Ying Xiaoxiao felt deeply hurt. They were the best of friends, which was why she had been so worried about her, and yet she had said that she did not need her consent and support. In other words, she was asking her to mind her own business.
Her good intention had been distorted to such an extent. No one in her shoes would have felt good.
Ying Xiaoxiao felt a scorching fire burn in her bosom. She felt really upset.
Rosiley saw that she was unhappy and hastily comforted her. “Xiaoxiao, Yayoi was just anxious. She did not mean what she said. Don’t take it seriously.”
Ying Xiaoxiao smiled at Rosiley. “Rosiley, I know very well whether she meant what she said.”
“Xiaoxiao… ” Rosiley still wanted to comfort her, but saw her turning to look at Yayoi. “Yayoi, I treat you as my good friend. I have said so much and yet you mistook my good intentions for malice. I have nothing more to say. Let me offer you a word of advice… ”
She stood up. Yayoi and Rosiley raised their heads and looked at her, only to see her snicker. “You’d better watch yourself.”
As soon as she said these words, she turned around and headed for the door.
Seeing this, Rosiley hastily stood up and said to Yayoi, somewhat helplessly and sounding displeased, “Yayoi, you’re too much.”
After that, she went after Ying Xiaoxiao.
Yayoi stared fixedly at them departing and did not withdraw her gaze for a long time. She seemed dazed and dumbfounded.
“Yayoi, are you alright?” Morphy looked at her with worry.
Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks. She laughed out loud. The more she laughed, the more the tears fell.
In the end, she covered her face and burst into tears.
Morphy clasped her in his arms, feeling her pain and comforting her gently. “Your friendship with Xiaoxiao won’t be destroyed by a few words. When both of you have cooled off, you can talk again. I believe you girls will make up and be like before.”
Yayoi clenched his lapel tightly and started sobbing, stuttering. “I… I didn’t… mean to… say that…”
