Can I Move In With You?

Mo Shenbai did not reply immediately. Instead, his dark eyes shifted to glance at Xu Youyou.

Xu Youyou grew nervous. She felt as though her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She looked at him hopefully with her pair of big and shiny eyes.

Mo Shenbai found Xu Youyou's eyes hard to refuse. His Adam's apple rolled once before he nodded calmly and said in a low voice, "Yes, I like her very much."

Mo Shenbai smiled faintly after he finished speaking and looked at Xu Youyou with an affectionate gaze.

Xu Youyou sighed in relief inwardly. When she met his gaze, she felt her heart skip a beat, and she instinctively averted her eyes. She thought that his gaze was really too seductive; it was as though he truly liked her. She knew this was not the case since they had just met not too long ago.

Old Madam Xu thought about it for a moment before she sighed softly and said, "Forget it. Since Youyou doesn't like Lin Yin, the engagement with the Lin family should be annulled. Later, I'll personally explain this to Old Madam Lin."

Old Madam Xu was unaware that Lin Yin had left during the wedding so Xu Youyou's parents hurriedly said, "Mother, we'll explain this matter to the Lin family. You should rest and take care of your health instead."

Old Madam Xu glanced at her son and hesitated for a moment before nodding. Then, she said to Mo Shenbai, "Little Shenbai, from now on, I'll leave Youyou to you."

Xu Jialu tried to hold back his laughter, causing the corners of his lips to twitch. In the entire Mo City, only his grandmother would dare to address Mo Shenbai as Little Shenbai.

Mo Shenbai's expression remained calm. He replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Don't worry, Grandma. I'll definitely take care of Youyou.;"

When Mo Shenbai addressed Old Madam Xu as 'Grandma', not only did Xu Youyou look surprised, but Xu Jialu was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He thought to himself, 'F*ck! This guy can really f*cking act!'

Old Madam Xu looked a little tired at this point so the Xu couple sent her back to the hospital. At this point, she could not do without the meticulous care of the doctors and nurses at the hospital.

Xu Jialu was called away as the driver, and before he left, he did not forget to glare at Mo Shenbai, warning him not to act rashly.

With that, only Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai were left in the huge villa. The atmosphere was quiet and awkward.

After a moment, Xu Youyou's eyelashes fluttered as she lifted her gaze to look at Mo Shenbai and said, "Mr. Mo, thank you for today."

"There's no need to thank me."

Perhaps, now that the elders of the family were gone, Mo Shenbai had returned to being aloof again. He was difficult to approach and did not even look at her.

Xu Youyou knew that Mo Shenbai only agreed to her request because of their deal. Nonetheless, she was still grateful that he was willing to cooperate with her in front of her grandmother. He said, "Mr. Mo, I'll save your sister, but I have another presumptuous request."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shenbai's eyes flashed slightly with a hint of disdain.

Xu Youyou pursed her lips before she asked softly, "Can I move in with you?"

Mo Shenbai narrowed his eyes and did not reply immediately.

As though she was afraid Mo Shenbai would refuse her, Xu Youyou hastily said, "You can just think of it as me renting one of your rooms. I'm willing to pay rent!"

After saying that, Xu Youyou seemed to realize something and bit her lower lip in annoyance. She thought that she had said something stupid. After all, as the Chairman of the Mo Group, would he care about the rent she offered to pay? Hence, she said, "Forget it. I'll think of a way myself. Thank you."

Mo Shenbai's back was straight as he sat on the couch. His slender jade-like fingers rested on the top of his black pants. Due to the contrast, his fingers looked even more slender and fairer. Whether it was intentional or not, his fingers tapped his knees repeatedly as his dark and piercing gaze captured all the little expressions on Xu Youyou's face.
