“That, that has nothing to do with this,” Xu Youyou retorted in a slightly hoarse voice, “Liking someone has nothing to do with intelligence!”

‘Moreover, I no longer like him…’

Mo Shenbai plugged the hair dryer in before he said coldly, “Have you not heard that a wise person doesn’t fall in love?”

Xu Youyou set her cup down and said, “I have. I also know the full saying is ‘A wise person doesn’t fall in love, only fools rush to fall in love.”

When Xu Youyou met Mo Shenbai’s gaze, her heart skipped a beat. She realized she had gotten carried away. She lowered her gaze and said softly, “Who hasn’t fallen in love with a few scumbags when they were young?”

Upon hearing her words, Mo Shenbai laughed before he asked, “A few scumbags? How many scumbags have you met?”

“Just one,” Xu Youyou replied immediately.

“Come here,” Mo Shenbai said, beckoning her over. He no longer wanted to talk about such an unpleasant topic.

When Xu Youyou saw that he intended to dry her hair for her, she quickly said, “I can do it myself.”

However, Mo Shenbai had already turned on the hairdyer. The noise was not loud, and the warm air blew gently on her hair. After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice, “Your brother told me to take good care of you. Otherwise, he won’t let me go.”

‘So he’s nice to me because of Brother?’

A sense of loss rose in Xu Youyou’s heart immediately. After a moment, she muttered, “Don’t worry. I won’t say anything. Moreover, you’re his boss! He won’t do anything to you.”

“Xu Jialu is the backbone of the company’s technology department. If he moves to another company, not only will I lose a talent, but there’s also the risk of leakage of confidential information.”

......

Xu Youyou raised her head and quickly defended her brother. “My brother isn’t that kind of person. Moreover, a big company like yours must have made its employees sign confidentiality agreements.”

Mo Shenbai smiled slightly. “Oh, you even know about confidentiality agreements.”

“Isn’t it always like that on the television? Although I’ve never experienced it before, I still know a thing or two through the shows I watched.”

“…”

“Lower your head,” Mo Shenbai said as he gently pushed her head down. His slender fingers held her long hair as he continued to dry them.

Since he was next to her, she snuck a peek at him from the corners of her eyes.

The yellow lights in the room seemed to soften his features. He did not look as cold as he usually did. Instead, he looked warm and gentle.

Xu Youyou sighed inwardly. It was really difficult to resist or not be tempted by such a man.

Not only was Mo Shenbai handsome, but his family and status were not something ordinary people could compare to.

With this thought in mind, Xu Youyou felt discouraged and frustrated. She could not help but say in a low voice, “Mo Shenbai, don’t be so nice to me.”

“Hm?” Mo Shenbai looked at her, but his movements did not stop.

“It’s very easy for women to misunderstand if you’re too kind,” Xu Youyou said as she lowered her head and twiddled her fingers, “If you treat every woman like this, you’d be known as a sea king!”

Mo Shenbai did not spend much time on the Internet so he was not familiar with the latest slang on the Internet. He asked, “What does that mean?”

“The sea king is someone who treats women very well. He doesn’t commit, but he also doesn’t refuse. Hence, he doesn’t need to take responsibility for his actions that can cause misunderstandings.”

Xu Youyou wondered to herself, ‘Is he an unwitting sea king? No, wait. Doesn’t he have a phobia or dislike for women?’

Mo Shenbai turned off the hairdryer, unplugged it, and rolled the cord up before setting it down on the table. Then, he turned to look at Xu Youyou and said with a warm and sincere gaze, “I’m very busy so I don’t have the time to treat every woman well. Apart from my sister, I’ve never helped another woman blow dry her hair before this.”
