Kapitel 39: Mr. Mo the Benefactor

Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation

When they arrived at Moon Pavilion, Xu Youyou suddenly recalled something. She asked, "Oh, right. What did Grandma speak to you about?"

Some unknown emotion flitted past Mo Shenbai's eyes. He did not answer her. Instead, he said, "Your grandma loves you very much."

Upon hearing this, Xu Youyou raised her chin proudly and said, "Of course! I've been by Grandma's side since I was young. It's only natural she loves me so much."

Mo Shenbai felt his heart soften when he saw the bright smile on her face. He smiled and said, "Rest early."

Xu Youyou nodded. "Good night.

…

When Xu Youyou closed the door to her room, she finally realized Mo Shenbai did not answer her question.

'Forget it. Grandma must have told him to take good care of me and to treat me well.'

After taking a shower, she lay on the bed and let out a sigh of contentment. After closing her eyes for a few seconds, she suddenly sat up. She picked up her phone and searched for things that Mo Shenbai had brought over earlier. The more she searched, the more her heart ached. They cost almost half of her small savings.

Despite her heartache, she still had to return the money. She did not want to take advantage of him. She opened her WeChat and transferred the money to him.

After transferring the money, she clicked on the Moments tab. She had uploaded the pictures of the mooncakes she had today. Su Lanxu had posted on moments, complaining about the mooncakes her mother baked. After clicking on 'like', she returned to the chat and found that Mo Shenbai did not accept the money nor did he reply to her message.

'Is he asleep? Or has he yet to see the message?'

Xu Youyou bit her lip and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she sent another message.

Xu Youyou: Are you asleep?

The reply came immediately this time.

Mo Shenbai: ?

Xu Youyou: ???

Mo Shenbai: ???

'Why didn't you reply to me if you have yet to fall asleep?'

Xu Youyou stared at the line of question marks, filled with question marks herself. Her fair fingers typed rapidly on the phone.

Xu Youyou: You brought a lot of gifts to my house earlier. I can't let you spend any more money when I'm the one who asked for your help.

After sending the message, she saw a line of ellipses that indicated he was typing.

After three minutes…

Mo Shenbai: No need.

Xu Youyou, who had been staring at the phone, felt her lips twitch. She could not help but laugh as she imagined him typing on the phone like an elderly person.

"Based on his typing speed, it seems like he doesn't chat often."

At the same time, she sent another message.

Xu Youyou: I know the money is nothing to you. However, my grandmother taught me from young that I shouldn't take advantage of others. Mr. Mo, my great benefactor, you have to accept the money.

There was also a cute kitten emoji at the end of her message.

This time, his reply came quickly.

Mo Shenbai: You can pay using food.

Xu Youyou was surprised. After thinking for a moment, she replied.

Xu Youyou: You mean you want me to cook for you to pay off the debt?

Mo Shenbai: Yes.

Xu Youyou: How many meals will it take to pay off this debt? *cat crying.JPG*

The things he had given were very expensive, after all.

Mo Shenbai: A year.

Xu Youyou recalled their arrangement to stay married for a year. In other words, she would be paying off the debt during the entire duration of their marriage.

Xu Youyou: Deal!

Xu Youyou: What do you like to eat? Tell me in advance. I can cook most things! Even if I don't, I can learn! I'll make sure you're satisfied!

Cooking was very easy for her.

Mo Shenbai did not reply to her message. She thought he must have gone to sleep so she did not send any more messages. As she looked at his name, a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She hurriedly changed his name on her phone to 'Lord Mo'.

…

After Mo Shenbai put his phone down, he continued drying his hair with the towel. His phone suddenly vibrated. He froze slightly when he looked down and saw the words 'Dr. Shen' on his phone.
