The most important thing was that Mo Shenbai had yet to taste those dishes.

Xu Jialu did not seem to have heard Mo Shenba’s words. An anticipatory expression could be seen on his face as he looked at his sister.

Xu Youyou thought about it for a moment before she said, “I can cook everything for you except for the eight treasure ducks and tonic soup. I’ll cook those two for you next time.”

Mo Shenbai: “...”

Xu Jialu was about to nod in agreement when his phone suddenly rang. It was his father. After he picked up the phone, no one knew what was being said on the other end of the line, but his expression clearly grew darker and darker. He was gritting his teeth so hard that they were about the shatter.

After Xu Jialu ended the call, Xu Youyou asked worriedly, “What happened?”

“The Lin family went to our house,” Xu Jialu said. He rose to his feet and looked at Mo Shenbai before he continued to say, “I’m taking the day off today.”

Needless to say, the Lin family had gone to the Xu family house because he had beaten Lin Yin up. With this, Xu Jialu naturally could no longer go to work. He did not wait for Mo Shenbai’s reply and turned to leave.

At this time, Xu Youyou rose to her feet and said, “Brother, I’ll go with you.”

Xu Jialu stopped in his tracks as a hesitant expression appeared on his face. He was still deliberating over if he should bring Xu Youyou with him when Mo Shenbai said nonchalantly, “I’ll go with both of you.”

The Xu siblings: “?”

Mo Shenbai stood up unhurriedly and said calmly, “I’m your husband in name. If I don’t go with you, people will get suspicious.”

Xu Youyou felt that Mo Shenbai had a point so she did not refuse.

......

The corners of Xu Jialu’s lips twitched as he thought to himself, ‘Oh, so you still remember that you’re only her husband in name!’

…

Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai sat in the same car while Xu Jialu drove his own car.

Although Xu Jialu arrived slightly earlier than the duo, he was not in a hurry to enter the house. Instead, he leaned against the car and smoked a cigarette.

When Xu Youyou alighted from the car, Xu Jialu quickly put out his cigarette and said in a low voice, “Don’t pay attention to whatever they say. Don’t worry, okay?”

Xu Youyou knew her brother was worried that she would be sad. She smiled faintly and said, “Brother, don’t worry. I don’t care about them.”

“Alright,” Xu Jialu said as he reached to tuck a lock of hair behind Xu Youyou’s ear.

When Mo Shenbai got out of the car and saw this scene, his eyes darkened imperceptibly. He walked to Xu Youyou’s side and held her hand immediately.

Xu Youyou was slightly taken aback, but when she remembered that they were supposed to be married, she thought it was only natural for him to hold her hand.

Xu Jialu looked at the entwined hands unhappily. However, he did not say anything; he could only endure it for now.

As soon as Xu Youyou stepped into the house, she could sense the tense atmosphere.

When Aunt Pei saw them, she quickly greeted them. “Young Master, Young Miss, Mr. Mo.”

With this, everyone turned to look at the trio in unison.

The Lin couple sat on the couch while Lin Yin and Lin Zhihuan stood at the side. When they saw Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai walking in hand-in-hand, all of them wore different expressions on their faces.

Lin Yin’s eyes were dark as he looked at the hands that were entwined. His chest burned with anger, feeling like a husband who was cheated on.

As for the Lin couple, their expressions were very unsightly when they saw Mo Shenbai. However, before they could say anything, Xu Jialu spoke first.

Xu Jialu said icily, “Do you feel like the beating you suffered previously isn’t enough so you took the initiative and delivered yourself to my house?”

Madam Lin was enraged by these words. “Cheng Ying! Look at the kind of son you raised!”

Cheng Ying pursed her lips and looked at her son. She did not say anything and thought to herself, ‘Considering what your son has done, isn’t it normal for him to be beaten up?’

Mr. Lin was calmer than his wife. He said in a deep voice, “Jianshu, our two families have always been close. Back then, our fathers helped each other. We shouldn’t let the younger generation ruin this relationship.” After a pause, he continued to say, “I’m sorry about what happened before, but Jialu is also wrong for beating someone up. Let Jialu apologize, and we’ll forget about this matter.”
