Xu Youyou’s delicate face and clear bright eyes made her look innocent, arousing other people’s tenderness.

Mo Shenbai felt a strange feeling in his heart. However, it was so fleeting that he did not notice it at all. He handed his jacket to the housekeeper before he said casually, “I want to eat the noodles you cook tonight.”

Not only was Xu Youyou stunned, but the butler was stunned as well. ‘He wants to eat Miss Xu’s noodles? Is he implying that the chef I found is not up to his standard?’

After returning to her senses, Xu Youyou asked the butler, “Do we have the stock for chicken soup?”

“Yes,” the butler hurriedly replied.

Then, she said to Mo Shenbai, “I’m going to put my things in the room first before I cook.”

Mo Shenbai nodded.

Following that, the butler asked tentatively, “Sir, are you dissatisfied with the chef?”

Mo Shenbai glanced at the butler and said, “No.”

The butler wanted to ask more questions, but Mo Shenbai had already strode up the stairs with his long legs.

…

Half an hour later.

Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai sat in front of the dining table.

......

There was a fried egg each sitting on top of the two bowls of noodles.

After they finished eating, the helper took the bowls and chopsticks away to wash them.

Xu Youyou did not leave the table. She planned to finish her glass of water before returning to her room.

Mo Shenbai did not leave as well. He looked at her with his dark gaze. Who knew what he was thinking when he suddenly said in a low voice, “Next time he pesters you again, you can tell me.”

Xu Youyou looked at him. “Tell you?”

Mo Shenbai nodded. “Your brother has been very busy lately with a project so you can look for me if you need anything.”

Xu Jialu did not work in his father’s company. Instead, he joined the Mo Corporation. Along with Pei Chuan, he was considered Mo Shenbai’s right-hand man.

Xu Youyou nodded. “I understand. Thank you.”

Mo Shenbai licked his lips. After a few seconds, he said, “You’re still young. You’ll have many more choices in the future. Since it failed, it means you’re not suitable for each other. There’s no need to dwell on it…”

Xu Yuoyou’s eyes widened slightly. She wondered if Mo Shenbai was trying to comfort her.

When Mo Shenbai saw that Xu Youyou was silent, he frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, “Do you understand what I said?”

Xu Youyou finally reacted. She nodded. “I understand. I’m not sad anymore. It’s just that today he talked a lot. I suddenly felt that I didn’t know him at all in the past. He’s like a stranger. I can’t imagine what it’d be like if I really married him.”

Mo Shenbai knew she was young and had grown up in the countryside. As such, she was inexperienced and did not understand the complexity and darkness of humans. He said, “The human heart is the most unpredictable. You’re young so you still don’t understand these things. You’ll gradually understand them in the future.”

Xu Youyou glanced at him before she muttered, “Why do you keep calling me young? I’m already 20 years old…”

“What did you say?” Mo Shenbai did not hear her since she had spoken too softly.

Xu Youyou raised her head and said with a wide smile, “I said I was lucky I didn’t marry him that day! Not only that, but I was also lucky that you happened to be there that day. Otherwise, not only would I be embarrassed,?but my family would be embarrassed as well.”

Upon seeing the smile on her face, the corners of Mo Shenbai’s lips curled up slightly as well as he said, “It’s good that you know that.”

Mo Shenbai thought to himself, ‘Although she’s young, she’s much more sensible than Zhiyun. No wonder that fool Xu Jialu protects her like a rare treasure.’
