Mo Shenbai’s hand froze in mid-air as his expression gradually turned unsightly.

Xu Youyou barely rested the entire night. She had not eaten or drank. As such, she only vomited bile. She felt extremely weak at the moment. Her slender body continued to tremble while tears welled up in her eyes due to her retching.

Mo Shenbai frowned and stepped forward to grab her arm. He said in a low voice, “Youyou, you’re not feeling well. I’ll take you to the doctor first.”

“Let me go! I don’t need you to care about me! You’re a liar! I don’t like you anymore! I hate you… I… I will never forgive you!”

When Mo Shenbai heard the words ‘I don’t like you anymore’ and ‘I hate you’, his eyes darkened. His entire person was shrouded in gloominess. He gritted his teeth before he said, enunciating each word, “Xu! You! You! Take back your words.”

Xu Youyou had already lost control of her emotions, and her mind was in a mess. She was like a drowning person struggling to stay afloat. However, she did not know that the more she struggled, the more likely she would drag the person who was trying to save her down. She said, “No! I don’t want to take it back! I don’t like you anymore! You bullied me and lied to me! I’m going to tell my brother that I want to go home…”

“Xu Youyou!” Mo Shenbai’s voice was cold and carried a strong sense of displeasure.

Mo Shenbai was just about to speak again when Xu Youyou’s vision suddenly turned black. Her body swayed, and she fell to the ground. Like a butterfly struggling in a storm, she could no longer withstand the storm and was dragged to the ground.

“Youyou!” Mo Shenbai’s eyes widened as he quickly reached out for her. His anger, coldness, and unease melted away, replaced by worry.

…

Half an hour later.

In the emergency room.

Xu Youyou opened her eyes slowly. The blinding light made her instinctively shut her eyes again. After a few seconds, she slowly opened them again.

“You’re awake.” Mo Shenbai’s voice was low and hoarse. The worry in his eyes could not be hidden at all.

When Xu Youyou saw him, her eyes turned red again. She turned away, refusing to look at him. She bit her lip, trying her best not to cry.

Mo Shenbai sat by the bed. His brows were furrowed as he said, “You didn’t get enough sleep, and you didn’t eat anything. Is this how you take care of yourself when I’m not home?”

Xu Youyou continued biting her lip and did not speak. Tears were welling up in her eyes.

When Mo Shenbai saw her trembling shoulders, he sighed deeply. Then, he asked, “Did you misunderstand something?”

‘I saw it in my dreams, and I saw it with my own eyes! What could I have misunderstood?’

Xu Youyou sniffed, still holding back her tears. She did not want to cry for a liar.

Mo Shenbai walked to the other side of the bed before he coaxed her in a low voice, “The doctor said that your body is weak. You have to eat something now that you’re awake. I’ll explain it to you after you finish eating.”

Xu Youyou did not want to listen to him at this moment. She turned to the other side, leaving the pitiful view of her back for him. She pulled the blanket and covered her head. She was unwilling to look at him and speak to him.

Mo Shenbai tried to pull the blanket down, but she was holding onto it very tightly. He did not want to force her so he could only sit down by the bed again. He said patiently, “Youyou, I don’t know what nonsense you heard or who told you, but I promise it’s not what you think it is.”

Xu Youyou sniffed. The smell of disinfectant wafted into her nose. She thought to herself, ‘I saw it with my own eyes. No one told me any nonsense!’

Seeing that there was no reaction from Xu Youyou under the blanket, Mo Shenbai thought that the soft approach would not work. Hence, he directly carried her, blanket and all, before he pulled the blanket aside, revealing a small head with messy hair.

Xu Youyou could not struggle. Feeling aggrieved, she began to cry again. Her face was red and stained with tears. She looked miserable.

Mo Shenbai frowned slightly. He was both angry and amused. The corners of his lips could not help but curl up.

Upon seeing this, Xu Youyou felt that he was mocking her so she became angrier. She thought he was even more despicable than Lin Yin.

Mo Shenbai’s fingers gently wiped away her tears as he said, “Alright, stop crying. Tears aren’t pearls. The more you cry, the more you’re going to look like a pig.”

Xu Youyou sobbed. “That’s right! I’m a pig! If I’m not a pig, how could I be so stupid and allow you to deceive me?!”

“How did I deceive you?” Mo Shenbai asked as he helped her to tidy her hair.

“I saw it all.” Xu Youyou stared at him with teary eyes as though she was saying, “Stop pretending! Don’t think about deceiving me anymore!”

The expression on Mo Shenbai’s handsome face was very calm; there was no trace of panic at all. He asked slowly, “What did you see?”

Xu Youyou said through her tears, “You, you have… a child! You already have a wife and a child, but you still lied to me!”

Mo Shenbai looked at her and could only smile helplessly.

“Don’t smile! Why are you smiling?” Xu Youyou grabbed his collar angrily as she said, “How can you be so bad? Don’t you feel guilty at all for lying? Doesn’t your conscience hurt for lying to an innocent girl like me?”

The smile on Mo Shenbai’s widened as he said, “Xu Youyou, you’re really a pig.”

‘What conscience? Capitalists don’t have such a thing.’

Xu Youyou’s sadness retreated and made way for anger.

‘How can he act so righteous after doing something wrong? He even called me a pig! He’s really wicked!’

“When you accused me of having a wife and child, did a problem occur to you?” Mo Shenbai said slowly, “Bigamy is illegal.”

Xu Youyou was stunned. She realized at this moment that she was not only his girlfriend, but she was his wife as well. Then, she said, “You! Not only are you wicked, but you also broke the law!”

Mo Shenbai’s expression froze. He took a deep breath before he pinched her cheek. He said through gritted teeth, “I, Mo Shenbai, only have one wife. Her name is Xu Youyou. Remember it well!”

Xu Youyou pushed his hand away and covered her red cheek as she complained, “You abused me! I’ll definitely tell my brother when I return!”

Mo Shenbai: “…”

‘Is this considered domestic abuse?’

In the end, Mo Shenbai said, “What do you think Xu Jialu can do to me?”

‘Even if you tie one of my hands, Xu Jialu still might not be able to do anything to me…’

Xu Youyou choked. She felt very pitiful at this moment. She questioned her decision to get involved with such a ruthless capitalist who bullied her, and her brother was also his employee. She thought both of them, brother and sister, were truly pitiful.

“I, I don’t care… I don’t want to be the third party… I, I don’t want to share my husband with another person. Let’s get a divorce!”

‘There are many men in this world! Even if this one doesn’t work out, there’ll be others in the future! It won’t do to get too hung up on one person! Worst comes to worst, I’ll go look for that person who pulled me back from the brink of death! He might still be single!’

Mo Shenbai’s eyes darkened, and his voice turned a few degrees colder as he said, “A divorce is impossible. In this life, you’re going to be either Mrs. Mo or Mo Shenbai’s widow.”

In other words, it was impossible to get a divorce or be separated from him unless he died.

Xu Youyou’s eyes reddened again. She felt as though her heart was breaking all over again. Just before her tears fell, she heard him sigh helplessly.

“Xu Youyou, have I done such a bad job that you can’t feel how much I love you? I clearly love you so much that I don’t even know what to do with myself. I can’t wait to give my life to you. Can you really not feel it at all?”
