Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mo Shenbai’s heart could not help but soften when he saw her pitiful expression. However, when he heard her coughing again, he steeled his heart and said, “No. You have to get a transfusion.”
Xu Youyou lowered her head in disappointnt. She was so frightened that her hands began to tremble as she tightly closed her eyes.
The doctor held her hand and was about to insert the needle when she quivered and cried out softly.
The corner of the doctor’s lips twitched slightly before he said, “Madam Mo, I haven’t inserted the needle yet.”
Xu Youyou: “…”
When she opened her eyes, she t Mo Shenbai’s teasing gaze. She pursed her pink lips and quickly looked away in embarrassnt.
“Let do it,” Mo Shenbai said.
The doctor was aware that Mo Shenbai knew how to insert the needle so he handed the needle over to Mo Shenbai. He briefly explained the dicine he prescribed before he took his dicine box and left.
Xu Youyou opened one of her eyes and watched as Mo Shenbai disinfected her hand. Then, she asked, “Do you know how to do this?”
“No,” Mo Shenbai replied without raising his head.
“Liar,” Xu Youyou muttered under her breath, “Since you know how to remove the needle, you definitely know how to insert it.”
Mo Shenbai glanced at her before he said, “Since you have the answer, why do you ask?”
Xu Youyou looked embarrassed as she said, “I’m afraid…”
......
‘I’m still afraid even if it’s you…’
“You don’t have to look. Be good. I’ll give you a present later if you get a transfusion,” Mo Shenbai said lightly.
Xu Youyou’s interest was piqued. “What present?”
“Guess.”
“Oh…” Xu Youyou thought about it seriously. “What present will you give … Hiss!”
Xu Youyou was still thinking when she felt a slight sting on her hand. She instinctively looked down and saw that Mo Shenbai had already inserted the needle. He was now putting a piece of white tape over it. Since he succeeded in one go, there was no need to try again.
Mo Shenbai carefully put her hand down before he adjusted the speed of the drip.
“Have you studied dicine before? Your movents are so professional!”
“No,” Mo Shenbai replied, “A friend of mine was hospitalized for a long ti. It was troubleso to call for the nurse every ti so I asked the nurse to teach .”
Xu Youyou widened her eyes and looked at him in admiration. “You’re a genius. It’s a pity you didn’t study dicine.”
Mo Shenbai did not respond to her. Instead, he looked at the dicine the doctor left behind. Then, he asked the butler to bring a heat pack to place it under Xu Youyou’s hand so she would not be cold.
Xu Youyou asked eagerly, “Present! Where’s my present! Is it snacks?”
Mo Shenbai did not answer. Instead, he sat at the bedside and looked at her with burning eyes as he asked, “Are you sure you want the present now?”
Xu Youyou nodded. “After all, the transfusion will take a while. Since I have nothing to do now, it’ll be great to eat so snacks… I…”
Before she could finish speaking, Mo Shenbai suddenly reached out and held her chin. His handso face drew closer and closer to her.
Xu Youyou’s eyes widened. She felt sothing soft and dry pressed against her lips, bringing with it a scorching heat.
The first ti they kissed, it was during the wedding. Since he had kissed her through a veil, she did not feel anything. The second ti was in the car. However, she was drunk and dizzy so she did not rember much of what it felt like. The third ti was… now.
Her mind was extrely clear at this mont. All her attention was focused on her lips. Her mind went blank, her face turned red, and she forgot how to breathe. She instinctively reached up to push him away.
Mo Shenbai, who seed to have expected this, reached out to hold her hand, preventing her from pushing him away as he continued tasting her lips.
Xu Youyou’s face burned, and her eyes were wide open as she said, “You…”
Mo Shenbai pulled back slightly and asked, “I what?”
“You, how can you do this?” Xu Youyou lowered her gaze, not daring to et his eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Mo Shenbai held her chin again and raised her head so she could look at him as he asked, “Don’t you like this present?”
Xu Youyou looked at his dark eyes and found it difficult to say, “I don’t like it.” She bit her lower lip before she said, “I… I haven’t started pursuing you yet… How can you kiss ahead of ti?”
‘Shouldn’t we kiss after we fall in love?’
Mo Shenbai chuckled before he said in a clear voice, “Isn’t okay to use my boyfriend’s right in advance?”
“Hm?” Xu Youyou blinked and looked at him innocently. “Can that be done?”
“Why not?” Mo Shenbai let go of her chin and picked up the sugar tangerine from the fruit plate and peeled a slice for her.
‘B-boyfriend?’
When he reached out to feed her, she instinctively opened her mouth. After swallowing the sugar tangerine, she said, “Wait. It’s not right…”
“Hm?” Mo Shenbai looked at her.
“You’ve already given the answer before I started to pursue you. Isn’t that considered cheating?” Xu Youyou said. She finally discovered the aning of his earlier words and was overjoyed.
“Cheating?” Mo Shenbai fed her another slice of the tangerine.
“Isn’t it cheating? I have the answer before I start pursuing you… Aren’t you too easy to pursue?” Xu Youyou asked after eating the sweet-and-sour tangerine.
‘Easy to pursue? If it were soone else, they wouldn’t even have a chance to pursue …’
Mo Shenbai stuffed another slice of tangerine into her mouth as he said, “Just hurry up and pursue then. You have to keep a close eye on in case soone snatches away…”
Xu Youyou puffed her cheeks out before she said seriously, “How can that be? You’ve already given an answer in advance! How can you be snatched away?”
Mo Shenbai looked at her with his dark eyes. His lips curled up into a smile as he stroked the top of her head and said, “Xu Youyou, you’re really smart.”
“Huh?” Xu Youyou looked at him, puzzled.
Mo Shenbai did not explain himself. He only thought to himself, ‘It’s good that she’s so straightforward.’
…
Xu Youyou’s illness lasted for a week. Although she no longer had a fever, her cough persisted, and she was listless.
Mo Shenbai delayed his work and spent his ti taking care of Xu Youyou at Moon Pavilion.
Pei Chuan ca over with a stack of docunts every day, making three to four trips a day.
On this day, Xu Jialu, who could no longer stand it, called Mo Shenbai and cursed at him.
“Is the company yours or mine?! You’re the chairman of the company, but you don’t even co to the company! You should really kowtow to us, the employees, considering your company hasn’t closed down yet!”
At this ti, Mo Shenbai, who wore an earpiece, was standing in the kitchen and watching a video on the iPad, learning how to make stead oranges. He said, “I have more important matters to attend to. I won’t be going to the company over the next two days as well…”
“What’s so important?” Xu Jialu said with a sneer, “Did my sister fall in love with soone else and want to divorce you? Or did she find out you’re not a man? You…”
Mo Shenbai knew Xu Jialu did not have anything good to say so he quickly interjected, “Your sister, also my wife, caught a cold. I’m taking care of her.”
“F*ck!” Xu Jialu cursed again, growing even more annoyed, “Why didn’t you tell that my sister is sick?! I’m coming over to see her now!”
