Extreme Pampering After Marriage-Chapter 10

Pei Chuan was shocked that Mo Shenbai was touching a woman’s hand. After all, Mo Shenbai did not even spare a glance for the fairer sex, let alone have physical contact with them. For this reason, Pei Chuan felt like a mother watching her grown-up son and was on the verge of crying tears of excitement when he saw Mo Shenbai holding Xu Youyou’s hand.

At this time, Mo Shenbai withdrew his hand expressionlessly and carried the bowl of noodles to the dining room. He briefly glanced at the thin noodles and the green onions sprinkled on them, which emitted a faint fragrance. After setting the bowl down on the table, he said in a low voice, “You can ask the kitchen to prepare supper for you next time when you’re hungry.”

Xu Youyou, who followed behind him, pursed her lips before she said, “There’s no need to trouble anyone. I can cook it myself. Thank you.”

Mo Shenbai stood in front of the dining table motionlessly as he stared at her.

The atmosphere turned slightly awkward and strange.

Xu Youyou broke the silence and asked perfunctorily, “Mr. Mo, you came back so late, did you eat? Do you want a bowl of noodles as well?”

Pei Chuan was about to refuse on Mo Shenbai’s behalf since he knew Mo Shenbai rarely eat past 8 pm.

To Pei Chuan’s surprise, Mo Shenbai said, “Alright.”

Pei Chuan: “???”

Xu Youyou: “...”

‘I was just being polite…’

Fortunately, there was extra chicken broth, and Xu Youyou only had to prepare the noodles. Hence, it did not take much effort to prepare another bowl of noodles.

When Xu Youyou emerged from the kitchen with a bowl of noodles, Pei Chuan had already left.

......

After she set the bowl of noodles down on the table, Mo Shenbai could smell the faint fragrance from the noodles. He thought it should not be that bad. However, after taking a bite, he found that it exceeded his expectations; it was rather delicious.

Xu Youyou, who had picked the seat furthest from him, lowered her head and silently ate her noodles.

Mo Shenbai set his chopsticks down and wiped the corners of his mouth with a piece of tissue before he said, “Zhiyun has woken up.”

Xu Youyou looked up from her bowl of noodles and said with bright eyes, clearly happy, “That’s good to hear.”

Xu Youyou sighed in relief inwardly. As it turned out, he had returned because of Mo Zhiyun. Fortunately, Mo Zhiyun was fine. Otherwise, she thought he would definitely report her as a fraud to the police.

Mo Shen’s dark eyes fell on Xu Youyou’s foot briefly before he asked, “Is your foot okay?”

Xu Youyou had sprained her ankle on her wedding time. Mo Shenbai was aware of this, but he did not ask about it since he really had no interest in the opposite sex. He only asked this now because he was in a good mood that Mo Zhiyun had regained consciousness.

Xu Youyou said, “It’s been fine for a while now.”

Mo Shenbai nodded and replied in a low voice, “Okay.”

Following that, he rose to his feet and turned around, walking to the second floor. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

Once Mo Shenbai left, Xu Youyou felt the pressure vanish, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

A few seconds later, Mo Shenbai’s deep voice rang out.

“Xu Youyou.”

“Ah?” Xu Youyou rose to her feet in shock and almost knocked over her bowl. She turned around and looked at the man standing at the foot of the stairs. She was so nervous that she almost forgot to breathe.

‘Don’t tell me he’s going to ask me again about how I know about Miss Mo’s situation?’

The panic in Xu Youyou’s eyes did not escape Mo Shenbai’s notice before he swallowed the question at the tip of his tongue. Instead, he said, “The noodles are very delicious. Thank you.”

Since Xu Youyou did not want to say anything, he would not ask. She was clearly very afraid of him. No matter how she knew about his sister, the important thing was that his sister had woken up. Everything else was not important.

With those words, Xu Youyou’s heart calmed down. Then, she smiled and replied in a sweet voice, “You’re welcome.”

‘In any case, the ingredients I used and the kitchen belong to you.’

…

The next evening.

Xu Youyou had just walked out of the classroom when she was suddenly embraced. Then, she heard a voice ring by her ears.

“Youyou, my baby, surprise!”
