Arrogant Wife Forcing Marriages (Indonesia)
Side Story 4 (Mother and daughter's secret)

"I'll put Jiao in our family account"

"No. I don't agree"

"My husband, why can't you accept Jiao ? She is my daughter. You can accept Rui when you're still with Shen Fengyin even if Li Huan Rui is Li YongSheng's son"

"That's different, Rui still has the Li family's blood and after all she is my niece. But that girl is different, she has nothing to do with me"

"It's enough for me to let him stay here. Don't force me to accept it"

Li Yongfan bellowed furiously then walked out of the room with a feeling of annoyance. When he came out Jiao was there too, he glanced at the girl and then walked away.

Jiao initially wanted to call her mother for breakfast, but she instead heard Mo An An and Li Yongfan's quarrel. Jiao felt guilty, it seemed like wherever she was , she was only causing trouble for people.

Mo An An opened the door, he was a little surprised when he saw his daughter was at the doorstep.

"Jiao, why are you here?"

"I want to call my mom for breakfast"

"Come"

Mo An An and Jiao enjoyed breakfast quietly.

"Mama, I'm sorry Jiao because Jiao mama got into a fight with uncle"

"No, Jiao. Don't blame yourself. We fought not because of you. Better not think about it"

Mo An An gently rubbed his daughter's hair and showed a smile.

"Jiao, mama has hired a teacher to teach you "

Mo An An originally wanted to register Jiao into kindergarten but she was blocked from Jiao's account. Mo An An was not willing if Jiao used the surname Bai, she did not want her daughter to be tied to the man who almost made her lose her life even though Bai Yuchen was her biological father.

"The teacher will be here any minute. Learn well"

Jiao nodded.

"Mom should go shoot, take care of yourself"

Mo An An gave a kiss on the forehead before leaving. Mo An An actually did not want to leave his daughter but he had to work, he had to raise money just in case for example Li Yongfan changed his mind and chased her and his daughter away. At least he should have a backup. Mo An An actually wanted to take Jiao along but it was too dangerous if people found out about his daughter.

***

Jiao heard his teacher's explanation seriously. Jiao slowly began to imitate how to read and write. Jiao did it earnestly. The teacher felt amazed, it was usually difficult for a child to be calm while studying and even did it seriously.Jiao could read a few words.

"Miss Jiao, you learned well "

"Thank you"

Teacher Hou took something from his bag. He pulled out a book.

"This is a storybook for you. You can read it to learn"

"Thank you, teacher Hou"

"alright. Our lesson gets here"

Teacher Hou, excuse me for going to a waiter. Jiao returns to her room and sees a Cinderella storybook given by her teacher. Jiao put it down and took something from the desk drawer. He tightly grasped Li Huan Rui's watch. It had been two days since he had not seen his prince. Is the prince okay now ? What her prince ended up happy after she did not bother him.

Jiao felt dejected every time she recalled the hostile gaze of her prince every time she saw him.

"Prince, why do you hate me?"

Jiao then put down the watch and turned to the book given by her teacher and began to read it.

Jiao slowly felt sleepy after reading the book to the end.

***

A handsome-looking boy walked up to him Jiao. He slowly knelt before her.

"Prince"

"Jiao Jiao, I'm sorry for being so cold to you"

The boy grabbed his hand. Jiao felt the warmth of her hand that made her comfortable.

"Jiao Jiao, will you forgive me and be next to me as my partner"

Jiao nodded.

"Of course, prince"

***

"Yin.jiao"

Jiao's sleep was disturbed because someone called her. Jiao reluctantly opened her eyes.

"Prince"

"What did you say?"

Mo An An smiled seductively at his daughter. Jiao realized that the prince's face she saw was nothing but an illusion.

"Who is the prince hum?"

Jiao did not know how to answer. Can he tell me about his mother.

"Is your prince Li Huan Rui?"

Jiao was surprised by her mother's sudden guess. Mo An An chuckled slightly at the surprised face of his daughter who confirmed that her guess was correct.

"You know, my daughter. My mom and daughter share secrets with each other. Mama will keep this a secret for both of us "

Mo An An smiled. He sat by his daughter's bed.

"So, what do you like about Rui? Is it because he's handsome?"

Jiao nodded slowly.

"The clock belongs to Rui, doesn't it ?"

Jiao replied again with a nod .

"Where did you meet Rui? "

"On the road"

"On the road? Can you tell my mom?"

Jiao hesitated to tell her mother. Jiao then started telling me about her first meeting with Li Huan Rui. He was so charmed by her good looks that he subconsciously grabbed her hand for help as she was chased by the steamed cake vendor but the man handed her over to the merchant instead.

  Mo An an had misfocused on hearing his daughter's story. How could his daughter steal food, what Bai Yuchen taught her.

"Mama"

Jiao realized that her mother was daydreaming. Mo An An woke up from his daydream.

"Darling, why did you steal a steamed cake?"

"Jiao was hungry, so Jiao had to"

"Didn't your father prepare food for you?"

Jiao remained silent. He hesitated to say it. Mo An An realized Jiao's hesitation.

"All right, let's go over to your story. So that was the first time you liked Rui?"

Jiao shakes, she gets blown away but when she releases her hand and makes it almost punishable.

"Then..when did you like Rui?"

"When the prince reached out to help me. He also treated my wounds back then"

Jiao smiled. Mo An An was slightly surprised to see the smile engraved on his daughter's lips at this moment. Munkinkah Rui was so important to her daughter, was this not the momentary love her daughter experienced. Mo An An worries if one day his daughter falls deeper in love with Rui and gets hurt. Mo An An might just be able to ask Shen Fengyin for help to tie up his daughter and Li Huan Rui's relationship but Li Yongfan would not agree.

"You know baby, it's okay to like someone but don't give up your heart completely to him because maybe you'll get hurt"

Mo An An wanted to be on guard for his daughter's future. Li Huan Rui was so popular with women, she was afraid that her daughter would get hurt.

Jiao nodded. Mo An An smiled in relief, although he was not sure his daughter understood about this thing he said.

"Mama...have you ever liked someone?"

"Yes"

"Who? What papa?"

"Sorry to disappoint you but not"

"I understand. Is that uncle?"

Mo An An nodded with doubt.

"You want to hear your mom's story?"

"Can?"

"Of course"

  Mo An An began to tell the story of his childhood.

"The first time you liked it was when you were 8 years old. He also had a handsome face but he had a serious expression. He can do everything well. At first mama thought it was hard to get close to her but our parents knew each other and we became close friends with aunt Yin as well. After the passage of time the mother's admiration changed slowly especially because the man treated the mother well "

"But he likes other people"

"Mama had given up at that time because it was impossible for mama to disturb the relationship of two people who are valuable to mama "

"What's the moment you gave up, you finally married papa?"

"Yes"

"Did mommy leave because of that uncle?"

The reason for his mother's departure, Jiao was always curious. He doesn't want to waste this.

"Yes, because mama couldn't give up on him in the end"

"So that guy is more important huh"

Her mother was willing to chase the man again and leaving her family behind meant that the man was so important to her.

Mo An An sighed hearing her daughter's disappointed tone. 

"But now, for mama only Jiao is most precious to mama"

Mo An An hugged his only daughter. Jiao simply remained silent in Mo An An's embrace.

"Jiao, mom loves you"

"Jiao loves mama too"

Mo An An smiled.

"You know Jiao, it turns out that when mother and daughter share stories, right?"

Jiao nodded.

"Jiao, you can say anything to mama when you need someone to listen to your heart you can go see mama. Mama's gonna be a good listener to you"

"Thank you mama"

***

"Stupid?"

Shen Fengyin was surprised when the head of the Si family came to her and suggested the matchmaking of their daughter - Helena with Li Huan Rui. Mr. Si knew his daughter's closeness to Li Huan Rui and he thought that they were a match especially with Li Huan Rui's current status.

"Why did Sir Si suddenly discuss this?"

"It's because I want my daughter to be happy and I don't want my daughter to be hurt in the future if Rui ends up having another Woman so I want to tie her to my daughter.

" i can't decide this"

Shen Fengyin knew about the closeness of her son and Helena and the girl was the only one who was close to Li Huan Rui but she was not sure what Rui would like and agree with this.

"Rui is still a child today. Talks about matchmaking are not yet right for now"

"But, CEO Shen there are a lot of columners who betrothed their children when they were young. I experienced it myself and you too, so... "

"I don't want to force my son"

Shen Fengyin wanted her son to live a life that was free of bondage. In the past when the elder talked about his matchmaking with Li YongSheng he became attached to him and also Li YongSheng became attached to Shen FengYue because of the arranged engagement, he said, also Shen Fengyin was not sure if President Si's motive was purely because of his daughter or because of business.

"We might be able to discuss it after my son is mature enough"

Mr. Si was disappointed but he finally agreed.

"Is there anything you want to talk about again, President Si?"

"none. Excuse me"

Mr. Si then left the room.

***

Helena was so happy to remember her father promised her to talk to her. Li so that he could marry Li Huan Rui. Although Helena did not understand how deep the marriage life was but this little girl only knew that she would be by this man's side in the future that made her very happy. He just wanted to be by Li Huan Rui's side.

Li Huan Rui noticed Helena's strange gaze on him as well as the engraved smile on the girl's lips.

"What's wrong?"

Li Huan Rui could not help but ask.

"It's okay. I just imagine Rui using a tuxedo and holding my hand and then we..."

"Don't think strangely. You better just focus on the line. Your grades are so bad, as your friend it's a shame for me so you better focus"

Li Huan Rui uttered it in an annoyed tone but to Helena it sounded sweet. He just smiled and nodded.

***

At night, Shen Fengyin leaned against the embrace of Li YongSheng who was reading a book.

"My husband, Helena's father came to me"

"really? Is he talking about a match?"

"How did you know?"

"He came to me and said that. Then what did you say?"

"I asked her to wait for Rui to be quite mature. How's yours?"

"I said the same thing. It was not a good time to tie Huanrui up in an arranged marriage like this"

"Yes, I understand that and also I prefer Rui with Jiao's name"

"Jiao? I don't agree with that seeing Huanrui's rude attitude towards her and also I want Huanrui and Jiao to be brothers instead of spouses"

Shen Fengyin admitted that Jiao had a beautiful face and also a calm demeanor but Rui's attitude towards her was so bad. She did not want Li Huan Rui to be the pain enhancer that the poor girl felt and also Jiao was Mo An's daughter, Mo An, if they became lovers and ended badly it would have an impact on Mo An An and him as well. Jiao probably didn't want to see them either. Shen Fengyin started to like the child, she wanted to protect him and it would also be best if she had Li Huan Rui as a brother who could take care of her.

"Yes, maybe you're right"

Tok tok tok tok

"Mama.papa "

Li Huan Rui walked into the room.

"Rui, why are you here?"

Shen Fengyin was slightly surprised by the sudden arrival of her son. Luckily the conversation and Li YongSheng finished and also the door to his room was soundproof so it was impossible for Li Huan Rui to hear their conversation.

"Rui wants to sleep with mom and dad, can you?"

"Of course"

Shen Fengyin shifted and gave a middle ground to her son. Lately her son has become more and more spoiled.

Li Huan Rui quickly slept in the middle.

"Good sleep"

"Good sleep, Rui"

Li YongSheng turned off the lights and the three of them fell asleep. Li Huan Rui was not yet asleep. He heard what his parents were talking about because he had opened the door a little.

He heard as they talked about it and that girl named Jiao.

'What the hell, I don't want to be a brother to her or a lowly girl'

A/N: have you ever talked to your mother about the person you like about your mother?

I had a little trouble describing Jiao's feelings of finally having someone she could share
