Xu Youyou continued to sleep soundly.
Mo Shenbai gently patted her cheek and called out again, “Xu Youyou… Hey, wake up…”
Perhaps, it was Mo Shenbai’s voice, or perhaps, it was his warm hand, Xu Youyou’s eyelashes fluttered slightly before she slowly opened her eyes. She looked at him in confusion with her bright eyes.
Mo Shenbai said, “It’s very dangerous for you to fall asleep in public places, do you know that?”
Xu Youyou did not move, but the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. Her joy could not be concealed as she called out, “Mo Shenbai…”
Her soft voice sounded lazy, causing Mo Shenbai’s heart to thump. The words meant to gently admonish her were swallowed back into his stomach. In the end, he only said, “You drank too much. Let’s go home.”
Xu Youyou looked at him with her big and innocent eyes as she pouted, looking aggrieved.
“What’s wrong?”
“My legs are numb.”
Mo Shenbai lowered his head and sighed helplessly. Then, he carried her horizontally as he rose to his feet.
Xu Youyou was only about 5’3″ tall, and she did not weigh a lot. Hence, it was easy for the 6’2″ Mo Shenbai to carry her.
Xu Youyou looked at the handsome face in front of her in a daze. She could not help but lick her lips while he carried her out of the bathroom with his strong arms.
Mo Shenbai wanted to leave the bathroom as soon as possible to avoid misunderstandings. When he saw the cleaning lady outside, he said, “Thank you.”
......
The cleaning lady replied with a smile, “There’s no need for that. Bring your sister back to rest. It’s not safe for a young girl like her to fall asleep outside.”
Mo Shenbai frowned, but he did not explain. It was not an important matter, after all.
Xu Youyou, who had a silly and adorable expression on her face, could not help but turn to the cleaning lady and said, “I’m not his sister! Also, I’m 20 years old. I’m an adult, not a child. I’m already married…”
The cleaning lady was briefly stunned. Then, she shook her head and said, “Children nowadays are really rebellious. They really like to lie…”
Mo Shenbai stopped in his tracks upon hearing this. His dark eyes were piercing as he looked at the cleaning lady and said, “She didn’t lie. It’s the truth. I’m her husband.”
“…”
The cleaning lady froze.
Mo Shenbai did not wait for the cleaning lady’s reply and hurried away.
When the cleaning lady regained her senses, she quickly made a phone call. As soon as the call connected, she said, “Hey, I just met a girl in the mall. She’s very pretty and dainty. Oh, wait, that’s not the point. The point is she’s married at the age of 20! Her husband is tall and handsome! What about you? Look at you! You’re already 30 years old! Let alone a man, you don’t even have a dog by your side…”
…
Inside the black Bentley that was dimly lit.
Mo Shenbai hugged Xu Youyou and held her hand to prevent her from winding down the car window.
“It’s hot…” Xu Youyou complained. She felt the wine heating up her body.
Mo Shenbai told Cang Ming to lower the temperature of the air conditioner slightly before he said patiently, “You’ll catch a cold if you wind down the window. Listen to me, okay?”
Xu Youyou pouted her cherry lips, looking aggrieved. Her eyes were watery, making her look as though she was being bullied.
Mo Shenbai was silent for a few seconds before he finally compromised. “Alright, you can only wind it down halfway.”
“Okay!” A smile bloomed on Xu Youyou’s face immediately.
Cang Ming tactfully lowered the window halfway, letting the cold air in.
Xu Youyou narrowed her eyes and sighed. “It’s so comfortable…”
Mo Shenbai gently tucked a strand of her long black hair behind her ears as he asked with a smile, “Was it really that hot?”
His warm breath drifted into her ears, causing her to feel tingly. Her heart raced wildly in her chest as she turned to look at his handsome face. A shy expression appeared on her face as she bit her lower lip. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up her courage and asked, “Mo Shenbai, do you have someone you like?”
