Chapter 284: Define love

As Mo Jia's bodyguard described the whole incident, everyone in the room had different expressions.

The uneasy feeling that Mo Jia has been avoiding earlier came back again as Mo Zihan opened his mouth, "How could he.."

Ying Yue glared at him before he could speak any further. He raised an eyebrow to which she shook her head at him. This little exchange escaped Mo Jia's eyes since she was busy sorting out her thoughts.

Looking at Mo Zihan, Ying Yue could tell that he was angry when his sister is being treated as such. But she did not want him to badmouth Tang Yichen in front of Mo Jia, not when she was not sure about her feelings.

Ying Yue could see that her brother Tang is smitten by this woman. Why would he cheat on her when he is making efforts on his part to spend more time with Mo Jia?

As for his Secretary… Ying Yue narrowed her eyes as she thought about Lucy. Call it a woman's sixth sense, but she has always felt that the woman was quite bitchy.

She has noticed it before that Lucy would always glare at her when she talked with Tang Yichen.

'Don't tell me that bitch is also eyeing brother Tang like my manager?' She wondered to herself before looking at Mo Jia, "So, was this the reason why your heart ached?" She asked her, feeling amused.

Did she not know what it meant when her heart is reacting to a man? 

Mo Jia frowned. Was Tang Yichen the reason behind it? "Yes," she replied. Whenever she felt such weird sensations, it was always related to that grumpy man.

Mo Zihan looked at Ying Yue confusedly as the woman went on, "Then, why do you it has got something to do with heart issues? Didn't you consider it that you are in love?"

Nian Zhen bobbed his head slightly, appreciating Ying Yue for coming to this point. His Young Miss' low EQ certainly was a problem.

Mo Jia's head snapped towards Ying Yue, "You mean to say that this is love?"

Ying Yue chuckled, "Why not?" Her gaze landed at Mo Zihan, "My heart skips a beat when I look at you," She said and Mo Zihan's eyes darkened as his breathing hitched at the intensity of her gaze. The woman averted her gaze before looking back at Mo Jia, "Lovers say such things to each other."

"It's philosophical, isn't it?" Mo Jia pursed her lips.

Ying Yue sighed as she leaned back on the couch in defeat. It seemed things like love are beyond Mo Jia's comprehension.

"What is your definition of love?" Mo Zihan took the matter into his hands.

"The emotion experienced when oxytocin is released in the brain. That emotion is love," Mo Jia said it from a neuroscience standpoint without batting an eyelid before continuing, "It induces warm and fuzzy feelings of trust, affection, romance, and bonding. Usually peaks after the sex act which causes bonding-useful as a cooperative mechanism for men and women so they can raise the resultant child, increases sexual arousal. Some foods, especially chocolate boost oxytocin, which is why it is the typical gift given by guys to their girlfriends, to put them in mood," she concluded, her tone serious and expressions stoic.

Both the men in the room choked on air while Ying Yue's face reddened as she tried to control her laughter. She did not want to appear rude but this is so hilarious. Damn! What a typical definition of love.

She looked at Mo Jia as if she was an exotic treasure. No wonder Brother Tang fell in love with her, she is so adorable.

Unaware of the gazes on her, Mo Jia looked at the wall in front of her before continuing, "I indeed felt some of these fuzzy feelings so I suggested that we should date."

Their marriage was a kind of accident and they have not consummated the marriage which eliminates the 'sex act' from the definition, subsequently eliminating the chance in between them. They were more like… friends?

Ying Yue did not want to do this but her mischievous side kicked in at this moment, "You mean to say that this is just the first stage of affections? And not love?"

Mo Jia nodded her head. That's what she meant. 

"Then how about we push brother Tang towards other women?" She asked to which three heads snapped in her direction in an instant. She coughed before continue, "Come on! Don't look at me like that. Brother Tang is one of the most eligible bachelors, so what if Miss Mo does not want him, other women are ready to pounce on him. What do you think of that?" She asked.

Mo Jia frowned, "We can just file for divorce and part amicably so that he can have anyone he wants," She repeated the same words she had said in the morning.

Ying Yue smirked evilly, "Imagine the sight of Brother Tang romancing with a woman, kissing her passionately, what do you feel?''

Nian Zhen: "_" Second Young Mistress is quite… straight-forward.

Mo Zihan did not think about Tang Yichen but he suddenly imagined himself kissing this daring woman passionately until she was breathless.

But he controlled himself and focused on his sister right now, waiting for her answer.

"Vulgar sight," Mo Jia scrunched her face at the thought of Tang Yichen kissing a woman in the same way he had kissed her. It was not a good feeling.

"Right, so what would you do now?" Ying Yue asked.

"I'll just stay away from such lecherous men like elder brother have suggested me to," She quickly said, ignoring every single thought running through her mind.

"_"

She was fit for science but about such things… The more she thought, the more it felt like her head would split open.

Ying Yue glanced at both the men who were looking at her expectantly. She tried her best but Mo Jia's problem was incurable. The woman either did not understand or she did not want to understand it.
