Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mo Shenbai knew he had to give Xu Youyou a reasonable reason for asking her not to see Fu Jianchen again. However, when he thought of those people and those things, sorrow overwhelmed him, causing him to be unable to speak. He only looked at her silently for a long time with a pair of sad eyes. He truly did not know how to give voice to the thoughts in his heart.
Seeing Mo Shenbai's silence, Xu Youyou did not ask any more questions. She only said softly, “I can only promise you that I won't take the initiative to look for him. I can't control it if I run into him or if he comes looking for me. You can't get angry at me for something that I have no control over.”
Mo Shenbai seemed stunned by her answer. He asked, surprised, “You agree?”
Xu Youyou nodded. “Yes.”
Some kind of emotion hit Mo Shenbai's heart, softening it. A hint of warmth finally appeared in his eyes as he said, “You agreed without even knowing the reason…”
A smile appeared on Xu Youyou's delicate face. She took the initiative to hold his arm as she said in a soft voice, “Although I don't know the reason, I know that you must have a reason for saying that.”
Mo Shenbai was further surprised.
‘How can she be so good?'
“Moreover, I'm not that close to him. If you don't like him, then I'll keep my distance from him in the future,” Xu Youyou said easily. After all, Fu Jianchen was not Su Lanxu. If Mo Shenbai prohibited her from seeing Su Lanxu, she definitely would not have given him so easily.
Mo Shenbai leaned over and wrapped his long arm around her shoulders. He lowered his head and buried his face against her neck. When he smelled the faint fragrance on her body, the restless feelings in his heart gradually calmed down.
Xu Youyou hugged as though he was a big dog as she said comfortingly, “Mr. Bai, don't be angry. You looked very scary earlier! I was scared.”
Mo Shenbai raised his head and kissed her before he said in a low voice, “I'm sorry. Did I scare you earlier?”
Xu Youyou nodded slightly. “I like it when you smile…”
A faint smile appeared on Mo Shenbai's face as he said, “Then, I'll smile at you more in the future.”
Moon Pavilion.
Xu Youyou had just entered the house when she was scolded by Xu Jialu.
“Where did you go? You didn't answer your phone, and you didn't reply to my messages. Do you think you're beyond reproach after marrying Old Mo?”
Xu Youyou tugged at Mo Shenbai's sleeve. She said, looking aggrieved, “Mr. Bai, he's scolding me…”
Mo Shenbai glanced at the indignant Xu Jialu before he said calmly, “It's not her fault. Stop scolding her.”
Then, Mo Shenbai told the kitchen to prepare dinner. Xu Youyou had yet to have dinner, after all.
Xu Jialu looked at Mo Shenbai in disbelief. “You're telling me not to scold her? You almost called the police when you couldn't get in touch with her. You even wanted the police to send out the special force to look for her!”
Xu Youyou's bright eyes widened upon hearing those words.
‘Send out the special force?! Isn't that too exaggerated!'
Mo Shenbai frowned after being exposed. He said coldly, “Shut up.”
Realization dawned on Xu Jialu. The man before him was a slave to his wife. He said, “Do you have a bottom line? You're so easily coaxed by her… You're embarrassing all men…”
Before Xu Jialu finished speaking, Xu Youyou walked over and tugged at his sleeve before she said softly, “Brother, don't be angry. I know I'm wrong. I won't do it again…”
Xu Jialu swallowed the words hanging on the tip of his tongue. Faced with his sister's clear eyes, he really could not vent his anger. In the end, he reached out and patted her head as he said, “Very well. Don't do this again next time! It really makes everyone worry.”
Xu Jialu was instantly slapped by his earlier words.
Xu Youyou smiled immediately. “Thank you, Brother!”
Mo Shenbai looked at the scene of sibling love before he looked at Xu Jialu with an expression that seemed to say, “Where's your bottom line? You're embarrassing all men.”
Xu Jialu was not going to take it lying down. He looked at Mo Shenbai with a defiant expression that seemed to say, “So what? We're the same!”
The two men with no bottom line looked at each other for a few seconds. Then, they looked at Xu Youyou, who was smiling innocently, before they sighed inwardly.
‘Forget it. So what if I have no bottom line?'
When Xie Tingxi finally sent Xie Yumu back, he joined them at the dining table. When he saw Mo Shenbai and Xu Youyou getting along as though nothing happened. He could not help but look at Xu Youyou in a new light. He said, “Sister-in-law, you're really amazing! You dealt with Mo Shenbai so quickly.”
Everyone knew about Mo Shenbai's temper. If he was angry, no one could placate him at all.
Xu Youyou did not seem to understand Xie Tingxi's words. She said, “Mr. Bai has a good temper, and he's very reasonable, after all.”
Xie Tingxi looked at Mo Shenbai in disbelief as though he had heard the biggest joke in the world. “Good temper? Him?”
Xu Youyou nodded seriously. “Yes.”
Xie Tingxi could not help but look at Xu Jialu and asked, “Are you sure your sister is mentally well? Is her perception and judgment of people okay?”
Apart from Xie Yumu who did not understand the adults' conversation, everyone frowned upon hearing Xie Tingxi's words.
Xu Jialu rolled his eyes and said unhappily, “If you're done, you can leave instead of spouting nonsense here. Whether my sister is mentally well or if her judgment is sound has nothing to do with you! Don't think you can spout nonsense just because you can talk. If my sister says his temper is good, then his temper is good. Even if my sister says everyone in the world is a pig, it's still true. Understand?”
Xu Jialu said everything in one breath.
Xie Tingxi: “…”
‘As expected, they're brother and sister. They're both very… unique…'
At this time, Xie Yumu wiped his face and said disdainfully, “Goduncle, you sprayed saliva all over me when you spoke earlier…”
“Eat your dinner. If you say one more word of nonsense, I'll tie a hundred balloons to you and send you straight to heaven!”
“Oh!”
Xie Yumu was a wise man who knew how to adapt to different situations. He lowered his head and obediently ate his dinner.
Mo Shenbai was not interested in joining in the meaningless war of words. He silently put the peeled shrimp in Xu Youyou's bowl.
Meanwhile, Xu Jialu felt a sense of pride when he saw that everyone no longer spoke. It was as though he had won the war.
‘Heh! I'm still the most awesome!'
After dinner, Xie Tingxi sat for a while before he left.
Xie Yumu was still repulsed by Xie Tingxi. Let alone speaking to Xie Tingxi, he did not even spare Xie Tingxi a glance. He went upstairs to shower after his dinner.
On the other hand, Xu Jialu lay on the couch lazily, refusing to leave. Previously, he had fallen out with his family because of Yun Youwei. He still had yet to make up with his family and was still living in the apartment above Yun Youwei's apartment. Recently, he was not very busy at work so he had been getting off work on time. He felt bored being alone in the apartment and felt that it was better to stay in Moon Pavilion. At least, he had people to talk to here even if it was just for a few minutes.
At this time, Mo Shenbai sat on the couch and peeled oranges for Xu Youyou.
Coincidentally, Xu Youyou's phone rang at this time. It was a voice message from Su Lanxu. Since they were people around, she was embarrassed to chat using voice message so she replied by texting instead.
Mo Shenbai fed her the peeled orange as she typed.
Xu Jialu loved his sister. However, as a single person, he still could not bear watching the couple's public display of affection. He said disapprovingly, “It's not like she doesn't have hands. Aren't you afraid of spoiling her until she rises into the sky?”
Mo Shenbai continued to feed her the orange. He did not look at Xu Jialu as he said, “It's not impossible. Our company recently invested in a space program.”
