Chapter 1040: 1040

Rong Mo remained silent for a long time and her face was sulking somewhat .

She did not wish to entertain Shang Mo right now, feeling that this man was a classic example of someone who would take advantage of the weakness of others .

In theory, she should be thankful to Shang Mo on account of Granny Shang .

However, when Rong Mo thought about his sexual orientation, she could merely feel uneasiness instead .

After a moment of silence, Rong Mo finally calmed down as she pondered before replying, “In theory, I shouldn’t feel anything . However, I’ve just used my sexual orientation as a way of placating Yuyu . Even though society is rather open minded these days, I’m straight . Therefore, please stop making fun of my sexual orientation, Mr Shang . ”

Rong Mo’s words had another veiled layer of intentions: It’s normal for men to massage one another’s backs and whatnot . However, I’m not a gay so please stop using such methods to test me in the future as well .

The grin on Shang Mo’s face did not disappear, but his eyes were deadly cold right now .

It was as though his gaze was penetrating through her, causing Rong Mo to break into shivers .

Sexual orientation? Was it really so important to differentiate between genders?

Yes, it was .

Shang Mo too had not came to terms completely about how he had fallen for a man as well . Even though he knew he had to admit to his feelings, he would still think about… how nice things would be if Rong Mo was a woman .

As though his embarrassment had turned into anger, he poked back . “You can take a look at yourself then . ”

There was a veiled layer to his words too: Don’t think too highly of yourself!

With that, Shang Mo turned and walked off .

Looking at Shang Mo’s back view, Rong Mo felt her head pounding .

While life was supposedly filled with trials and tribulations, she felt as though her life had too many of them!

She wanted to head home and look for her own kin .

However, where was her only kin – her sister? Even granny did not know, but would Shang Mo know?

If Shang Mo did not even know about her gender, there was no way that Rong Mo could let him know that she had a sister too . Otherwise, her act would be exposed .

Also, why was her sister not searching for her now that she had gone missing and was lost?

If only she could recall more things right now… Rong Mo placed her tiny bit of hope on that neurosurgeon that granny had mentioned .

That night, she discussed with granny about it and immediately, granny arranged for an appointment for her . Granny had even wanted to accompany Rong Mo to the neurosurgeon but was rejected .

Granny then reassured her warmly that she would be there for her no matter what she needed .

Granny Shang had already long taken Rong Mo as her granddaughter-in-law in her heart . She even asked, “Or, should I just let Shang Mo know about your gender so that you two can start developing things?”

“Granny, there’s really no feelings between me and Shang Mo . Do you wish for your grandson to marry someone he doesn’t love?”

Shang Mo was quite a decent guy and the Shang Family was well to do as well . At the same time, Granny Shang was her life saviour .

However, that’s precisely the reason why Rong Mo did not want any entanglements with Shang Mo .

In life, everyone would tend to get defensive over their close ones and Granny Shang was no exception . She wanted to ask, “Why do you not like my grandson when he’s so exceptional?”

However, she decided against it eventually – if matters of the heart could be rationalized, they would not be troubling so many forlorn people in this world .

Even though she stood by her stance that feelings could be developed over time, she decided to let nature take its course with these two .

If they have affinity, things would definitely work out .
