Xu Youyou did not doubt Mo Shenbai’s words. She said, “I’m done visiting Grandma Lin, and I’m just about to leave.”
Mo Shenbai rolled up his sleeve and looked at his watch before he said, “It’s almost lunchtime. Why don’t we have lunch together?”
Xu Youyou naturally would not refuse to have lunch together with Mo Shenbai. “Sure.”
Mo Shenbai opened the car door and signaled for her to get into the car.
Xu Youyou was about to bend down and get into the car when she suddenly heard someone calling out her name. She looked up and saw Lin Zhihuan getting out of a BMW that was parked nearby. She frowned slightly as an ominous feeling rose in her heart.
Lin Zhihuan walked over quickly after she got out of the car. Although she had called Xu Youyou’s name, her eyes were glued to Mo Shenbai.
“What do you want?” Xu Youyou took the initiative to ask.
Lin Zhihuan seemed to regain her sense as she reluctantly shifted her gaze away from Mo Shenbai. She asked, “Why did you come to my house?”
“I heard that Grandma Lin wasn’t feeling well so I came to visit her.”
“Oh,” Lin Zhihuan said before her gaze returned to Mo Shenbai. The smile on her face was a little shy as she said in a soft and pleasant voice, “Hello, my name is Lin Zhihuan. I’m Xu Youyou’s good friend.”
Xu Youyou: “?”
‘Is this still the person who kept saying I wasn’t worthy of Lin Yin? Since when did she become my good friend?’
Mo Shenbai only glanced at Lin Zhihuan briefly with an indifferent expression on his face before he replied with a curt, “Hmm.”
Mo Shenbai’s attitude was very arrogant.
Lin Zhihuan did not know, but Xu Youyou knew Mo Shenbai had the qualifications to be arrogant.
When Lin Zhihuan saw Mo Shenbai’s cold reception, her smile faltered slightly. However, she was not discouraged and asked, “Are you Xu Youyou’s good friend? We met at the Xu family house previously. Do you remember?”
Lin Zhihuan sincerely thought that such a peerless man would not take a liking to Xu Youyou. At most, someone like him would only help Xu Youyou put on an act to save Xu Youyou’s reputation.
No matter how stupid Xu Youyou was, she could still see through Lin Zhihuan’s intentions. A hint of anger rose in her heart as she said, “He’s not my good friend.”
Mo Shenbai furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He lowered his head to look at her and saw a hint of unhappiness in her eyes.
Following that, Xu Youyou grabbed his hand and held it tightly before she said firmly, “He’s my husband. We’re a legal couple. Do you have any other questions?”
Mo Shenbai’s expression eased immediately as his eyes fell on their tightly-clasped hands. The darkness in his eyes was instantly swept away.
LinZhihuan’s expression froze. She did not expect that Xu Youyou, who was usually so timid, would suddenly bare her fangs. She lost control of her temper and asked indignantly, “I’m just asking a question. Why are you so fierce?” After saying that, she looked at Mo Shenbai and said meaningfully, “You say that he’s your husband, but you’ve never really introduced him. Don’t you think you’re too disrespectful? Or are you afraid he’d be snatched away? You don’t even dare to introduce him.”
Lin Zhihuan’s words were clearly meant to sow discord.
Xu Youyou was about to refute Lin Zhihuan and say it was none of Lin Zhihuan’s business when Mo Shenbai suddenly said, “There’s no need to introduce me. All everyone needs to know is that I’m Youyou’s husband.”
Mo Shenbai’s voice was mellow and magnetic. Even the hint of coldness in his voice could not take away from its charm. Only when he mentioned Xu Youyou’s name could one hear the warmth in his voice.
His eyes were sharp and cold like a knife when he stared at Lin Zhihuan.
Lin Zhihuan felt chills running up her spine, and her mind went blank.
Mo Shenbai longer paid attention to Lin Zhihuan and held Xu Youyou’s hand as he pulled her into the car. He did not spare Lin Zhihuan a single glance at all.
Lin Zhihuan watched in a daze as the luxury car drove away. When she regained her senses, she stomped her foot angrily and muttered to herself, “Xu Youyou, you must have said bad things about me to him! Otherwise, he wouldn’t have treated me like this!”
