Xu Youyyou rolled her eyes before she said without any context, “Lin Zhihuan is only 19 years old this year. She’s a year younger than I am.”
“Huh?” Mo Shenbai was even more puzzled. He did not understand what Lin Zhihuan’s age had to do with him.
Xu Youyou said again, “She’s a year younger than I am! You can’t like her. Otherwise, people will really think you’re a pervert.”
“Like her? I don’t even care if she’s a dog or a person,” Mo Shenbai said. He was not interested in Lin Zhihuan at all so he really did not want to waste time discussing such an insignificant person.
Upon hearing Mo Shenbai’s words, Xu Youyou laughed. All the irritation in her heart instantly disappeared.
When Mo Shenbai looked at the bright smile on her face, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and he shook his head slightly. He really did not understand women. He could not keep up with Xu Youyou’s mood, which was as fickle as the weather.
…
Mo Shenbai brought Xu Youyou to Sky Garden Restaurant for lunch.
Sky Garden Restaurant was the most famous restaurant in Mo City. Apart from its delicious food, it was also famous for its environment. Under normal circumstances, one would have to make reservations in advance. However, this did not apply to Mo Shenbai, who was a platinum VIP in the restaurant. He did not need to make a reservation to eat and be seated at the best table.
While Mo Shenbai looked at the menu, Xu Youyou looked at the interior of the restaurant. Although it was almost winter, it was as though it was spring in the restaurant. The fragrance of flowers permeated the air, and it was refreshing.
“This restaurant is very famous. I begged my brother for a long time, but he didn’t bring me here and said it was too expensive,” Xu Youyou said. She did not expect the one to bring her here would be Mo Shenbai.
After Mo Shenbai finished ordering the food, he handed the menu to the waiter and said, “Tell the manager to come over.”
Soon after the waiter left, the manager, dressed in a suit, came over to the duo’s table. He asked respectfully, “Mr. Mo, what can I do for you?”
“This is my wife, Xu Youyou,” Mo Shenbai said as he looked at the young woman sitting across from him.
Xu Youyou instinctively straightened her back when Mo Shenbai introduced her, looking like a student who was called out by the teacher.
A hint of surprise flashed briefly in the manager’s eyes when he looked at Xu Youyou before he said, “Madam Mo, it’s our first meeting. Please don’t take it to heart that I didn’t recognize you.”
Xu Youyou was already used to the staff in Moon Pavilion calling her Madam Mo. However, this was the first time that someone outside of Moon Pavilion addressed her as Madam Mo. For a moment, she did not know how to react. After a moment, she only smiled sweetly and said, “Hello.”
The manager did not expect Mo Shenbai’s wife would be so sweet. It was as though a spring breeze had blown over when she spoke. His smile deepened as he said praisingly, “Madam Mo, not only are you beautiful, but even your voice is beautiful.”
Xu Youyou was slightly embarrassed by these words so she quickly picked up her glass and drank from it to hide her embarrassment.
Mo Shenbai frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy. He said frostily, “Alright, you may leave.”
The manager bowed slightly and smiled at Xu Youyou before he turned to leave.
Xu Youyou also returned the smile.
“…”
Mo Shenbai rubbed the bridge of his nose, suddenly regretting calling the manager over.
Xu Youyou waited until the manager was out of hearing range before she asked curiously, “Why did you call the manager over?”
‘He even specially introduced me as his wife…’
Mo Shenbai lowered his hand and said gently, “So you can come here anytime you want in the future. You can put it under my tab.” He knew she would refuse him so he added, “I have a stake in this restaurant. There’s a special discount for me. Moreover, it can also be deducted from your brother’s bonus. His monthly bonus is enough for you to eat here a few times a month.”
Xu Youyou’s bright eyes widened as she exclaimed, “My brother’s monthly bonus is so much?!”
‘Then I can consider eating here once a month!’
Mo Shenbai smiled as he said, “That’s right. There’s no need for you to transfer money to him in the future. He’s much richer than you.” Then, after a moment, he excused himself and went to the bathroom.
After Mo Shenbai left, Xu Youyou picked up her phone and texted Su Lanxu.
Xu Youyou: Lanlan, guess where I am now?
Su Lanxu: Where? Don’t tell me you’re on Mo Shenbai’s bed?!
