Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xu Jialu: “...”
‘What did I do wrong? Must you abuse a single person like that?’
Unwilling to give up, Xu Jialu vented his dissatisfaction at Xu Youyou. “All you do is play with your phone all day long. Even when eating, you need to be fed. Aren’t you afraid of being spoiled until you’re useless?”
Xu Youyou looked up at Xu Jialu and asked, “Brother, are you going through nopause?”
Xu Jialu choked. “You’re going through nopause! Your family is going through nopause!”
“So aren’t you part of my family?”
“...”
Xu Jialu: “...”
Xu Youyou ignored Xu Jialu and continued to eat the orange that Mo Shenbai fed her as she typed on her phone.
Xu Jialu did not want to be left out so he asked, “Who are you chatting so enthusiastically with?”
“Lanlan,” Xu Youyou replied without raising her head.
Due to the ti difference, Xu Youyou and Su Lanxu did not chat much. However, they would still send ssages to each other, and when the other party saw them, they would reply.
Xu Jialu raised his eyebrow slightly. He recalled how he had not seen Su Lanxu recently, and he also thought about their fight the last ti they t and how they had parted on a sour note. An explicable feeling rose in his heart, but his expression did not change. Instead, he said casually, “Oh, it’s not enough that you talk every day when you et at the university that you still have to talk when you’re ho? Why do girls have so much to talk about?”
Xu Youyou stopped typing. She looked at Xu Jialu and said seriously, “Lanlan withdrew from the university and went abroad. Don’t you know?”
“Went abroad? When did this happen?” A stunned expression appeared on Xu Jialu’s handso face.
Xu Youyou looked at Xu Jialu resentfully and said, “Not long ago. Hmph! It’s all your fault!”
If Xu Jialu were not her brother, she would have severed ties with him long ago.
Xu Jialu lowered his gaze. He recalled the last ti he t Su Lanxu. Su Lanxu did not look too good at that ti, and she was very emotional as well. Finally, he said with a smirk, “Wasn’t it just an argunt? Why did she have to go abroad? We’ve argued so many tis in the past, but I really didn’t know she had such a fragile heart.”
Xu Youyou took a deep breath to calm down. Then, she glared at her brother and said, “Brother, you’re really… hopeless!”
Xu Jialu was baffled. “I…”
Before Xu Jialu could finish speaking, Xu Youyou rose to her feet and said, “I really can’t wait for the day you fall in love and for the other party to not return your feelings! At that ti, you’ll understand how painful that feeling is!”
After saying that, Xu Youyou turned around and went upstairs.
Xu Jialu: “???”
Xu Jialu asked in confusion, “Is her period here?”
Mo Shenbai ate the slices of orange that Xu Youyou did not finish. As he wiped his hands, he said slowly, “My little treasure is right. You’re indeed hopeless.”
After saying that, Mo Shenbai went upstairs as well.
Xu Jialu was filled question marks. After a long ti, he muttered under his breath, “Crazy!”
…
After going upstairs, Xu Youyou video-called Su Lanxu.
Su Lanxu answered the call and waved as soon as the call connected.
“Hello! Why do you look so angry? Who made you angry?”
“It’s all because of that idiot brother of mine!”
Su Lanxu’s smile froze briefly, and she did not reply.
Xu Youyou reacted and smiled sheepishly. “I’m sorry. I didn’t an to ntion him to make you unhappy.”
Su Lanxu shook her head. “It’s okay.”
Xu Youyou and Xu Jialu were siblings, after all. It was inevitable and normal for Xu Youyou to speak about him. However, whenever Su Lanxu thought about Xu Jialu, she felt as though her heart was pierced by needles.
Xu Youyou bit her lower lips as she said hesitantly, “Oh, that’s right… There’s sothing I’m not sure if I should tell you or not…”
“Since you’re not sure, then you shouldn’t tell ,” Su Lanxu said jokingly.
“But I think you should know…”
“Then say it…”
“Yun Youwei passed away.”
Su Lanxu was surprised. “Passed away? How?”
“Actually, she had been sick for a long ti. That’s why she wanted to marry Mr. Bai. She wanted to entrust Mumu to him,” Xu Youyou said concisely.
Although Xu Youyou did not ntion Xu Jialu, Su Lanxu, who was not stupid, naturally understood the implications. She knew instantly why Xu Jialu wanted to marry Yun Youwei.
Seeing that Su Lanxu did not speak, Xu Youyou asked tentatively, “Lanlan, do you really not want to co back?”
Su Lanxu knew what Xu Youyou ant. She smiled self-deprecatingly and said, “Youyou, even without Yun Youwei, he doesn’t like . What difference does it make if I co back or not?”
The problem between Su Lanxu and Xu Jialu had never been Yun Youwei. The problem was that Xu Jialu did not like her. This was sothing that she only figured out recently.
Xu Youyou bit her lip, unable to refute Su Lanxu’s words.
“In any case, I like it here. I see a lot of handso guys every day. Moreover, I’m with my parents. It’s much better than being in China,” Su Lanxu said, feigning nonchalance, “Don’t worry. It won’t take long to forget about your brother. Who knows when I return, I might even bring a super handso guy back with !”
Xu Youyou nodded. “Then, you have to find a super handso boyfriend and rub it in my brother’s face!”
“Of course!” Su Lanxu seed to regain her energy as she said, “Not only must my boyfriend be handso, but he also has to be rich and powerful! Foreign n are bigger than our local n!”
“Impossible! My Mr. Bai is the greatest!”
‘I have to protect my Mr. Bai’s dignity!’
Su Lanxu rolled her eyes and said, “Fine, fine, fine. Your Mr. Bai is the greatest! He’s taller than the Himalayan mountain, and he’s as hard as diamonds…”
Xu Youyou nodded in agreent before she said modestly, “It’s fine if you know it. There’s no need to say it…”
Su Lanxu: “...”
The two young won chatted for a while more before they finally ended the call reluctantly.
Xu Youyou set her phone down and was about to take a shower. When she turned around, she saw Mo Shenbai leaning against the door.
His posture was languid, and his expression was relaxed. A half-smile could be seen on his face as he stared at her with a burning gaze.
Xu Youyou: “...”
‘He didn’t hear those unspeakable words, right?’
Mo Shenbai said lazily, “Thank you, Madam, for your trust and support.”
Xu Youyou’s mind went blank as her cheeks turned red. She stamred, “You, w-why do you always eavesdrop on my conversations?”
Xu Youyou still rembered the ti when she had just moved into Moon Pavilion.
Mo Shenbai walked over. His gaze was tender and affectionate as he looked down at her and said innocently, “Mrs. Mo, please be reasonable. You didn’t close the door. Moreover, this is also my room. How can you accuse of eavesdropping?”
Xu Youyou lowered her head and covered her face. “Why do I always get myself into such embarrassing situations?”
Mo Shenbai could not hide the smile on his face as he pulled her into his embrace. He kissed her forehead and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Isn’t it because Mrs. Mo is a pervert?”
“No!” Xu Youyou said in a small voice, “I’m not a pervert. We’re just discussing the difference between local n and foreign n!”
The smile on Mo Shenbai’s face widened. He lowered his head to kiss her lips after he said, “There’s no need to discuss. It’s best to just put it into action. With that, you can verify the truth!”
Xu Youyou had a stomach full of retorts, but she did not have a chance to express them.
Mo Shenbai carried her into the bathroom and helped her verify the truth.
