Xu Youyou really wanted to slap Lin Zhihuan again. However, she had used all her strength to slap Lin Zhihuan twice, and now, both her palms were burning. Although it was very enjoyable to slap Lin Zhihuan, her hands hurt as well.

Mo Shenbai’s exquisite face was calm without a ripple. However, when he looked at Xu Youyou, his eyes were brimming with tenderness. Then, he said plainly, “I love her.”

Xu Youyou’s little heart was caught off-guard and skipped a beat.

‘Hey, hey, how can you say these words that are dangerous to my heart at such a moment!’

Lin Zhihuan was stunned. Then, tears fell down her eyes that were filled with unprecedented despair. She said through her tears, “You love her? Why would you love a nobody like Xu Youyou rather than look at me? I like you. I fell for you deeply from the moment I saw you! I’m willing to do anything for you! I’m really willing to do anything for you…”

Mo Shenbai raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at Lin Zhihuan with a gaze devoid of warmth. “Would you die then?”

Lin Zhihuan was stunned by these words. Only tears continued to roll down her face.

Mo Shenbai continued to say unhurriedly in an icy tone, “If you kill yourself now, I’ll believe that you really like me.”

Lin Zhihuan’s teary almond-shaped eyes were filled with shock. For a moment, she wondered if she had heard wrongly. She could not believe that he actually wanted her to die.

The corners of Mo Shenbai’s lips curled up into a derisive smile. “Can’t do it?”

Lin Zhihuan pointed at Xu Youyou and said hysterically, “What about her?! Do you think she’ll die for you?!”

When Mo Shenbai’s eyes shifted to Xu Youyou, his cold gaze turned affectionate and gentle immediately. He said, “She doesn’t have to do such a thing. I’m willing to die for her.”

‘I’m willing to die for her…”

These words were like a clap of thunder that caused Xu Youyou’s soul to explode.

‘Is he joking? Is he trying to anger Lin Zhihuan? It doesn’t seem like it…’

Xu Youyou was stunned by these words that entrusted Mo Shenbai’s life in her hands. Her heart was beating rapidly, and the blood in her body felt like it was boiling as well.

Lin Zhihuan froze. Then, as though she had lost her spine, she collapsed weakly to the ground as she continued to sob. When in extreme grief, one would usually cry silent tears.

Mo Shenbai did not want to waste too much time on Lin Zhihuan and he did not want to hear Lin Zhihuan insulting Xu Youyou anymore. He said, “Bring her to the police station.”

The bodyguard dragged Lin Zhihuan out without any pity. He did not even leave her with the most basic human dignity. It was as though he was dragging a dead pig out of the house.

Countless moths flew around the land; they knew they would burn if they went closer, but they did not hesitate at all.

There were only Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai in the dilapidated house now.

Xu Youyou stared at Mo Shenbai unblinkingly as she walked toward him. Then, she took the initiative and sat on his lap before she asked, “Did you say that anger her?”

Mo Shenbai replied with a question, “What do you think?”

Xu Youyou’s heart was beating violently in her heart and her cheeks were burning. She bit her lower lip before she said, “I think you want to anger her to death so you said those words…”

‘How can anyone love someone to the extent that they’re willing to throw away their lives?’

Mo Shenbai did not refute her words. Instead, he cooperated with her and said, “Yes, I was trying to anger her. What could be more degrading to her than that?”

Xu Youyou thought for a moment and agreed with his words. “You’re so ruthless.” Then, without waiting for him to speak, she quickly added in a soft voice, “But I like it…”

Mo Shenbai’s slight frown eased immediately. He raised his hand and gently caressed her face.

Xu Youyou felt as though his fingers were transmitting electric currents to her skin. She could not help but lean closer and kiss him. Then, she whispered, “Thank you.”

Mo Shenbai’s eyes burned with unconcealable surging desire. “Thank you for what?”

“Thank you for accompanying me to find Lin Zhihuan. Thank you for protecting me.”

‘It’s enough that he said those words to protect me…’

Mo Shenbai’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times. His warm breath caressed her face as he asked, “How did you know she was hiding here?”

Xu Youyou’s eyes flashed briefly. Then, a fawning smile appeared on her face as she asked, “Can I not tell you?”

She wanted to say that it was just a guess, but she remembered that she had promised never to lie to him.

“Alright,” Mo Shenbai said without hesitation.

Xu Youyou’s dimples appeared on her face as she wrapped her slender arms around his neck. She leaned into his embrace and murmured, “Mo Shenbai, you’re so nice.”

“Just nice?” Mo Shenbai emphasized the word ‘just’. He raised an eyebrow and looked at her.

“…”

The corners of Xu Youyou’s lips twitched when she heard the meaning behind his words. Then, she held back her laughter and said, “I mean, the best! You’re the best in the world!”

Xu Youyou thought that since she had used the words ‘the best in the world’, Mo Shenbai would not feel jealous of her brother.

Mo Shenbai smiled slightly. He lowered his head as he murmured against her lips, “You’re not allowed to act cute to other men in the future.”

“But the other person is my brother…”

“You can’t do it to your father as well, let alone your brother.”

Xu Youyou: “…”

Seeing that Xu Youyou did not speak, Mo Shenbai kissed her deeply.

In the end, Xu Youyou gave up and nodded with a red face.

Mo Shenbai kissed her dimples and said, “Good…”

Xu Youyou panted slightly. Her eyes were dazzling as she pursed her seductive rosy lips and said in a soft voice, “Should I change the way I call you? What about Mr. Bai? Can I call you Mr. Bai?”

Mo Shenbai froze and a frown appeared on his face immediately. He was clearly very resistant to Xu Youyou’s suggestion. He said without any hesitation, “You can’t!”

Xu Youyou, who was sitting on his lap, pouted. Her sweet voice seemed to cast a spell on him as she said, “I don’t want to call you by your name…”

Mo Shenbai said, “Then you can call me without my surname. There’s no need to use the title mister.”

“I’ll feel awkward calling you that…” Xu Youyou said as she thought to herself, ‘… and I’ll feel shy…’

Mo Shenbai was about to ask her what was so awkward about it when she shifted slightly on his lap and leaned close to his ear before she said pleadingly, “Please? You’re the best…”

“…”

‘Do you want to kill me?’

Mo Shenbai took a deep breath before he held her waist to stop her from moving around on his lap. Then, he said, “Stop moving around. If you want to move around, in the future, I’ll let you move around in a different position.”

Xu Youyou: “???”

‘I suspect you’re thinking about those things again, but I have no evidence…’

“Mr. Bai, my hands hurt…” Xu Youyou said. She raised her hand and showed him her red palm with a pitiful expression.

Mo Shenbai had no resistance against Xu Youyou at all when she acted coquettishly. He threw his principles away and said in a resigned tone, “Alright, you can call me whatever you want…”

Then, Mo Shenbai held her hand and kissed her palm gently, feeling distressed for her.

A smile bloomed on Xu Youyou’s pretty face immediately. She wrapped her arms around her neck again and said, “Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, I knew you’re the best!”

Xu Youyou kept moving around on his lap, causing Mo Shenbai to feel as though he was going to lose his reason.

‘I suspect she’s doing this on purpose, but I have no evidence…’

…

After being sent to the police station, the police interrogated Lin Zhihuan patiently. They kept interrogating her until she finally broke and confessed to everything. With that, she would be prosecuted next.

Mo Shenbai hired the best lawyer to make sure she would get the heaviest punishment possible, hoping that she would be detained for as long as possible.

Lin Huai and Wang Xiaohui visited the Xu family house several times, but Xu Jianshu and Cheng Ying refused to see them.

For that reason, out of desperation, Wang Xiaohui decided to go to the hospital to stir up trouble with Old Madam Xu. However, before she even entered the elevator, she was chased out of the hospital by the security guards.

Old Madam Lin tried calling Old Madam Xu, but Old Madam Xu’s phone seemed to always be switched off.

Left with no other choice, Lin Yin could only look for Xu Youyou.
