Chapter 243: You’re So Considerate of Your Husband

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lu Heyun’s expression was calm as he replied gently, “Since I’ve chosen to be with Zhizhi, I’ll definitely take good care of her.”

Mo Shenbai sneered. His cold gaze flashed with ridicule as he said, “Don’t forget our agreement.”

Lu Heyun did not say anything. From the corners of his eyes, he saw Mo Zhiyun coming out from the dining room. Then, he carried the suitcase downstairs.

Mo Shenbai frowned as he looked at Lu Heyun’s back. He had to admit that Lu Heyun was rather cunning. The more cunning Lu Heyung was, the harder it would be to tame him.

Mo Zhiyun did not like the sorrow of parting so she refused to let Xu Youyou send her to the airport. They only said their goodbyes at Moon Pavilion.

Xu Youyou’s expression was one of reluctance and sadness as she watched the car pull away from Moon Pavilion.

Mo Shenbai pinched her cheek lightly and said tenderly, “Don’t be sad. She’ll come back once her legs are better.”

“I know, but who knows how long that’ll take?” Xu Youyou said with a pout, “No one will go to the university from now on…”

“At most, I’ll send you to the university every day and pick you up after your classes, okay?” Mo Shenbai asked. The love in his voice could not be concealed at all.

Xu Youyou smiled, revealing the dimples on her cheeks. “You’re so busy with work. Forget it. Fortunately, I still have Lanlan to accompany me.”

Mo Shenbai lowered his head and kissed her cheek. A hint of joy could be heard in his low and hoarse voice as he said, “You’re so considerate of your husband.”

Xu Youyou’s face turned red from the embarrassment. She looked around before she hit his chest and said, “Be careful! People will see us!”

It was okay to do all kinds of embarrassing things behind closed doors, but outside, even if it was just a kiss on the face, Xu Youyou would be so embarrassed that it made her toes curl.

Mo Shenbai smiled as he held her small hand. “They know the rules very well.”

The staff in Moon Pavilion was personally selected and trained by the butler, and they definitely did not lack tactfulness.

Xu Youyou scoffed. “You’re still not allowed to do such things.”

Mo Shenbai touched her dimples as he looked at her tenderly. He was fascinated with them.

Xu Youyou’s heart trembled slightly. She quickly looked away before she said hesitantly, “I want to meet Yun Youwei.”

Mo Shenbai’s fingers paused before he dropped his hand. He asked, “Is it because of Xu Jialu?”

Xu Youyou nodded. “Can you speak to my brother?”

Mo Shenbai placed his hands in his pockets as he said, “I don’t dare to disobey my wife’s orders.”

Seeing that he agreed to her request, she hugged his arm and said happily, “Thank you! Mr. Bai, you’re the best!”

‘You’re really much better than my foolish brother!’

Mo Shenbai’s smile widened before he said with a straight face, “It’s good that you know.”

…

There were not many in the cafe in the afternoon.

Although the golden sunlight streamed in through the window, it was cool inside.

Customers sat in groups of twos or threes, drinking coffee and chatting in low voices. They would smile occasionally, and their eyes were bright.

Since Xu Youyou’s period had yet to come, she did not dare to drink cold drinks. She ordered a cup of hot cocoa and even took a picture of it to show Mo Shenbai.

Mo Shenbai: Good girl.

Xu Youyou giggled when she saw his reply. At the same time, a figure took the seat across from her.

“Sorry, I’m late.”

Xu Youyou looked up and saw Yun Youwei’s delicate face.

Yun Youwei had a gentle bearing and a delicate appearance. Due to the heat outside, fine beads of sweat dotted her forehead. However, her face did not look flush from the heat. Instead, it was very pale.

“It’s okay. I ordered an iced Americano for you. If you don’t like it, you can order something else.”

Yun Youwei shook her head slightly. “No need.”

After serving the iced Americano, the waiter left.

Yun Youwei did not add sugar to her drink. She picked it up gently and took a sip. Her expression did not change at all when she drank the bitter drink.

Xu Youyou saw Yun Youwei’s unchanging expression when drinking the coffee and said with a sigh, “Mr. Bai is the same as you. He doesn’t add sugar to his coffee. He drinks it as though he’s drinking plain water.”

Yun Youwei’s eyelashes fluttered slightly before she put down her cup. She smiled and said, “We’ve gotten used to it when we were abroad.” After a brief pause, she asked bluntly, “Mrs. Mo, you didn’t ask me out just to treat me to a cup of coffee, right?”

Xu Youyou was very simple and did not beat around the bush either. She said, “I heard from my brother that he wants to marry you.”

Yun Youwei was slightly startled. She thought Xu Jialu’s words that night at the hospital were only to humiliate her. She could not help but wonder if he was being serious now. After a moment, she said, “I don’t know what’s wrong with him, but I’ve already rejected him.”

Yun Youwei’s stance was clear and firm; she would not marry Xu Jialu.

“However, my brother is very firm about this as well. He seems to really like you,” Xu Youyou said. Her eyebrows were furrowed as she studied Yun Youwei openly.

Yun Youwei was a delicate beauty. Although she was beautiful, her beauty was not the kind to make people fall in love with her at first sight.

Yun Youwei smiled mockingly as he said, “Like me? Stop joking! Even if he really likes me, I won’t marry him.”

Xu Youyou nodded upon hearing these words. “That’s good. I don’t want you to be my sister-in-law either.”

Yun Youwei was stunned by Xu Youyou’s straightforwardness. Then, she asked, “Why? If I marry Xu Jialu, you won’t have to worry about me ruining your relationship with Shenbai.”

“Because you don’t like my brother,” Xu Youyou said firmly, “And because I’m not worried you’ll ruin my relationship with Mr. Bai.”

“Why are you so coincident?” Yun Youwei was slightly puzzled.

A smile as beautiful as the moon in the night sky bloomed on Xu Youyou’s face as she said, “Put everything else aside, I don’t think you’d fall in love with another man apart from Xie Tingxi.”

Yun Youwei’s eyes widened immediately as she looked at the young woman in front of her in shock.

Xu Youyou continued to say, “I’ve seen Xie Tingxi’s photos. Not only was he handsome, but I heard he treated you very well too when you were together. How could you fall in love with another man after being loved by such a man?”

Moreover, Xu Youyou knew Mo Shenbai very well. Mo Shenbai was cold and aloof to everyone, including the opposite sex. With the gentle and considerate Xie Tingxi serving as a contrast, most girls would not like Mo Shenbai. For this reason, she did not believe Yun Youwei would fall in love with Mo Shenbai. However, she was truly puzzled about the reason Yun Youwei insisted on pestering Mo Shenbai.

A sense of desolation rose in Yun Youwei’s heart as tears welled up in her eyes. She did not come from a good background. Back then when she was with Xie Tingxi, everyone thought she was after Xie Tingxi’s money. When Xie Tingxi cut ties with the Xie family, everyone said she would leave him soon. No one expected Xie Tingxi to die in an accident. At that time, everyone said she was unlucky, but she would soon fall in love with another rich man. When they found out she was pregnant with Xie Tingxi’s child, they looked at her with pitiful and scornful expressions. They said that she wanted to use her child to obtain money from the Xie family, but she failed miserably. After all, the Xie family refused to acknowledge the child belonged to the Xie family. They did not even want to see the child.

If it were not for Mo Shenbai’s help, she might not have been able to give birth successfully to Xie Yumu.

From the beginning until now, no one had ever believed Yun Youwei truly loved Xie Tingxi. Xu Youyou was the first person.
