Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When they arrived at Moon Pavilion, Xu Youyou suddenly recalled sothing. She asked, “Oh, right. What did Grandma speak to you about?”
So unknown emotion flitted past Mo Shenbai’s eyes. He did not answer her. Instead, he said, “Your grandma loves you very much.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Youyou raised her chin proudly and said, “Of course! I’ve been by Grandma’s side since I was young. It’s only natural she loves so much.”
Mo Shenbai felt his heart soften when he saw the bright smile on her face. He smiled and said, “Rest early.”
Xu Youyou nodded. “Good night.
…
When Xu Youyou closed the door to her room, she finally realized Mo Shenbai did not answer her question.
‘Forget it. Grandma must have told him to take good care of and to treat well.’
After taking a shower, she lay on the bed and let out a sigh of contentnt. After closing her eyes for a few seconds, she suddenly sat up. She picked up her phone and searched for things that Mo Shenbai had brought over earlier. The more she searched, the more her heart ached. They cost almost half of her small savings.
Despite her heartache, she still had to return the money. She did not want to take advantage of him. She opened her WeChat and transferred the money to him.
After transferring the money, she clicked on the Monts tab. She had uploaded the pictures of the mooncakes she had today. Su Lanxu had posted on monts, complaining about the mooncakes her mother baked. After clicking on ‘like’, she returned to the chat and found that Mo Shenbai did not accept the money nor did he reply to her ssage.
‘Is he asleep? Or has he yet to see the ssage?’
Xu Youyou bit her lip and hesitated for a long ti. In the end, she sent another ssage.
......
Xu Youyou: Are you asleep?
The reply ca imdiately this ti.
Mo Shenbai: ?
Xu Youyou: ???
Mo Shenbai: ???
‘Why didn’t you reply to if you have yet to fall asleep?’
Xu Youyou stared at the line of question marks, filled with question marks herself. Her fair fingers typed rapidly on the phone.
Xu Youyou: You brought a lot of gifts to my house earlier. I can’t let you spend any more money when I’m the one who asked for your help.
After sending the ssage, she saw a line of ellipses that indicated he was typing.
After three minutes…
Mo Shenbai: No need.
Xu Youyou, who had been staring at the phone, felt her lips twitch. She could not help but laugh as she imagined him typing on the phone like an elderly person.
“Based on his typing speed, it seems like he doesn’t chat often.”
At the sa ti, she sent another ssage.
Xu Youyou: I know the money is nothing to you. However, my grandmother taught from young that I shouldn’t take advantage of others. Mr. Mo, my great benefactor, you have to accept the money.
There was also a cute kitten emoji at the end of her ssage.
This ti, his reply ca quickly.
Mo Shenbai: You can pay using food.
Xu Youyou was surprised. After thinking for a mont, she replied.
Xu Youyou: You an you want to cook for you to pay off the debt?
Mo Shenbai: Yes.
Xu Youyou: How many als will it take to pay off this debt? *cat crying.JPG*
The things he had given were very expensive, after all.
Mo Shenbai: A year.
Xu Youyou recalled their arrangent to stay married for a year. In other words, she would be paying off the debt during the entire duration of their marriage.
Xu Youyou: Deal!
Xu Youyou: What do you like to eat? Tell in advance. I can cook most things! Even if I don’t, I can learn! I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!
Cooking was very easy for her.
Mo Shenbai did not reply to her ssage. She thought he must have gone to sleep so she did not send any more ssages. As she looked at his na, a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She hurriedly changed his na on her phone to ‘Lord Mo’.
…
After Mo Shenbai put his phone down, he continued drying his hair with the towel. His phone suddenly vibrated. He froze slightly when he looked down and saw the words ‘Dr. Shen’ on his phone.
