“No,” Xu Youyou replied without hesitation. She felt that he was acting rather strange today.
Mo Shenbai did not say anything as he turned around and left the studio. A slight frown could be seen on his face; he was clearly frustrated and unhappy. Since he received a call from Cang Ming in the afternoon informing him that Lin Yin had threatened her, he had been waiting to hear from her. He had been waiting for her to call or text him to ask for help. In the end, he waited the entire afternoon, but his phone did not ring at all. He assumed she had felt embarrassed about asking for help from him so he had deliberately rescheduled his appointment so he could come home earlier. He even took the initiative to look for her, but who knew she would act as though nothing had happened? She was even in the mood to draw. It seemed like he had been overthinking things.
When Mo Shenbai returned to his bedroom, he could not help but laugh as he unbuttoned his shirt with one hand.
…
The next morning, Xu Jialu got up earlier to make breakfast for Mo Shenbai and Xu Jialu.!!
Xu Jialu had worked overtime so he came back very late the night before. After taking a shower, he fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. In the morning, he yawned as he walked down the stairs. When he saw Xu Youyou coming out of the kitchen with the breakfast and smelled the fragrance, he glared at Mo Shenbai and said, “F*ck! Are you treating my sister as your domestic help?”
Although Xu Youyou had grown up in the countryside, she was spoiled when she returned to the family. She was given everything, and she did not even need to lift her hand.
Upon hearing this, Xu Youyou pouted and glared at her brother. “Brother, don’t curse so early in the morning! Sit down and eat.”
Xu Jialu strode over and pulled the chair out before he took a seat. Then, he said seriously, “Youyou, tell me honestly. Did he force you? Don’t be afraid. I’ll seek justice for you.”
Xu Youyou placed a bowl of shredded chicken congee in front of Xu Jialu and said, “No one forced me; I volunteered. All of you won’t even let me enter the kitchen at home. I’ve been wanting to tell all of you for a long time that I like cooking.”
When Xu Jialu saw that his sister did not seem to be lying, he scoffed and said to Mo Shenbai, “It’s your fortune to be able to eat the food cooked by my sister.”
‘How ridiculous!’ Xu Youyou lowered her head and smiled. She ate quietly without saying anything else.
Mo Shenbai did not pay attention to Xu Jialu’s words. After all, he could not expect good words to come out of the mouth of an uncouth person.
As soon as Xu Jialu had the first bite, his eyes lit up. He felt as though he had gone to heaven.
Xu Youyou looked at her brother and asked, “Brother, what’s wrong?”
Xu Jialu exclaimed in surprise, “Delicious! It’s so delicious! Youyou, when did you learn to cook so well?”
“I’ve always been good at cooking. All of you wouldn’t let me into the kitchen so I didn’t have a chance to show off!” Xu Youyou said with a smile.
“It’s so delicious. It’s better than the ones outside,” Xu Jialu said as he gave Xu Youyou a thumbs-up. Then, he ate heartily.
When Xu Youyou saw Xu Jialu had finished eating, she scooped another bowl of congee for him and said, “If it’s delicious, then eat more.”
Mo Shenbai was used to eating slowly. When he finished eating, Xu Jialu had already eaten three bowls of chicken congee. The large bowl that held the congee was now empty. Not even a grain of rice was left.
Xu Jialu burped, looking satisfied, as he leaned back against the chair.
Mo Shenbai: “…”
‘Is it too late for me to throw this guy out now?’
Xu Jialu licked his lips before he asked, “Youyou, what else do you know how to cook?”
“What do you want to eat? I’ll cook it for you tonight.”
“Braised pork knuckle, sweet and sour pork ribs, eight treasure duck, Dongpo meat, roasted lamb chop, and tonic soup!”
Upon hearing this, Mo Shenbai glared at Xu Jialu and asked, “Do you think this is a restaurant?”
