Since Xu Youyou was a little slow, Mo Shenbai could only work harder and help her get rid of all the potential emotional crises.

“Oh, then I’ll come with you,” Xu Youyou said with hesitation. She did not doubt his words at all.

Since the dress she wore earlier was dirty, Xu Youyou changed into a white embroidered dress. She did not tie her hair and let it drape over her shoulders.

…

Half an hour later.

Mo Shenbai held Xu Youyou’s hand as they walked into the emergency room in Mo City’s First Hospital.

Yun Youwei was lying on the bed, looking pale and weak. It seemed like a gust of wind could blow her away.

Xie Yumu lay on the side of the bed, looking at Yun Youwei with a pair of innocent eyes. He asked in a childish voice, “Mommy, does it still hurt?”

Yun Youwei shook her head and replied in an extremely gentle voice, “Mommy doesn’t hurt…”

From the corners of her eyes, Yun Youwei caught sight of the person who had just walked in. Her eyes flashed with joy immediately, but it disappeared as soon as she saw the person holding another woman’s hand. The corners of her lips seemed to turn downward immediately.

Mo Shenbai’s gaze shifted from Yun Youwei’s face to her left ankle that was red and swollen. Then, he asked tonelessly, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. I was hit by an electric car,” Yun Youwei replied gently before she looked at Xu Youyou and asked, “Shenbai, is this your girlfriend?”

Mo Shenbai held Xu Youyou’s small hand tightly as he said straightforwardly, “This is my wife, Xu Youyou.?Youyou, this is my good friend’s girlfriend, Yun Youwei.”

The second half of Mo Shenbai’s words were directed at Xu Youyou, and his voice turned gentle considerably.

Yun Youwei’s eyes flashed briefly, but she quickly recovered. She smiled gently and said in an equally gentle voice, “Shenbai, you’re married. Congratulations to both of you.”

Mo Shenbai did not say anything.

Xu Youyou smiled sweetly and said, “Thank you.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Xie Yumu saw Mo Shenbai holding another woman’s hand, he looked crestfallen. Then, he rushed over and called out, “Daddy…”

Xie Yumu did not rush toward Mo Shenbai. Instead, he rushed in Xu Youyou’s direction.

“Mumu…” Yun Youwei called out, slightly worried.

Before Xie Yumu bumped into Xu Youyou, Mo Shenbai bent down and accurately lifted Xie Yumu by his collar. Then, he said, “You’re already so old, and yet, you’re still rampaging around. Have you forgotten the rules I taught you in the past?”

Compared to the gentleness he had shown to Xu Youyou, Mo Shenbai’s voice was cold and devoid of gentleness when he spoke to Xie Yumu.

“Dad, let me, let me down,” Xie Yumu, who was being held by the collar, said. His entire body was suspended in mid-air, and his two short legs were kicking like those of a drowning person.

It was a rather funny sight.

“Shenbai,” Yun Youwei called out lightly. Her eyes were filled with worry and distress.

Mo Shenbai placed the little boy on the ground for Yun Youwei’s sake. He did not give the little boy a chance to speak before he said sternly, “Stand properly.”

Xie Yumu was not usually timid. However, when faced with Mo Shenbai, he was like a mouse facing a cat. All it took was one look from Mo Shenbai, he became obedient immediately.

Yun Youwei felt a little helpless and also apologetic. She said, “In fact, there’s nothing serious. It’s just Mumu was worried and insisted that you come over. He misses you.”

Xie Yumu hurriedly nodded. “Dad, I missed you! I missed you so much!”

When Xu Youyou acted coquettish, Mo Shenbai’s heart would melt immediately into a puddle of water. However, when Xie Yumu acted coquettish, he frowned slightly and said sternly, “Boy shouldn’t be so coquettish.”

Xie Yumu: “…”

‘Is this gender discrimination?’

“I’m fine. It’s late now. You should all go back and rest early,” Yun Youwei said.

“Then, what about you?” Xu Youyou, who was kind, asked. Seeing that one was a widower with an injured leg and the other was an orphan, she could not help but worry.

“The doctor said that I need to be hospitalized,” Yun Youwei replied. Then, she shifted her gaze to Xie Yumu and said hesitantly, “It’s just that Mumu…”

Xu Youyou was rather quick-witted at this moment. She instantly understood Yun Youwei’s unsaid words. Her small hands tugged at Mo Shenbai’s shirt immediately.

Mo Shenbai looked down at her and understood what she wanted. He said lightly, “Xie Yumu can stay with me for the next few days. You should rest well.”

Yun Youwei’s expression eased immediately. “Then, I’ll have to trouble you.” Then, she looked at Xu Youyou and said, “I’ll have to trouble you too, Mrs. Mo.”

Addressing Mo Shenbai as Shenbai and Xu Youyou as Mrs. Mo clearly showed the closeness and distance between the two.

“Mumu, don’t be naughty. You have to be obedient,” Yun Youwei gently reminded her son.

Xie Yumu nodded obediently. “Mommy, I’ll be obedient and listen to Daddy.”

After saying that, Xie Yumu raised his head to look at Mo Shenbai as though he was seeking Mo Shenbai’s approval.

Mo Shenbai ignored the little boy’s fawning smile and said, “I’ve already spoken to the people in the hospital. If there’s anything you need, just tell the nurse.”

Yun Youwei nodded slightly. “Thank you, Shenbai.”

Mo Shenbai held Xu Youyou’s hand again before he looked down at the little boy and said, “Let’s go.”

Xie Yumu spread his arms and said, “Dad, carry me.”

Mo Shenbai frowned. “Don’t you have legs?”

The corners of Xie Yumu’s lips twitched before he said pitifully, “I… can’t walk anymore…”

Mo Shenbai did not move. It was obvious he did not intend to spoil the little boy.

Xu Youyou’s heart softened immediately. “Why don’t I carry you?”

Xie Yumu hesitated for a moment before he nodded.

Just as Xu Youyou was about to bend down to carry Xie Yumu, Mo Shenbai moved ahead of her and bent down to carry Xie Yumu with one hand. He said, “He’s so fat. You won’t be able to carry him.”

Xie Yumu said indignantly, “I’m not fat! I have a slim figure!”

Xu Youyou looked at Xie Yumu’s angry face and could not help but?poke his cheek.

Xie Yumu turned away, burying his head against Mo Shenbai’s neck, not allowing Xu Youyou to poke his cheek.

Xu Youyou did not take it to heart. She let Mo Shenbai hold her hand and walked out of the emergency room.

Yun Youwei watched the trio leave. Her eyelashes fluttered as she lowered her gaze to hide the emotions in her eyes.

…

After getting into the car, Xie Yumu refused to leave Mo Shenbai’s arms.

Mo Shenbai smacked Xie Yumu’s butt lightly and said seriously, “Boys shouldn’t be so delicate.”

Xie Yumu sat between Mo Shenbai and Xu Youyou as he complained in a childish voice, “Dad, you don’t love me anymore! You have a new wife so you don’t love me and Mommy anymore!”

Mo Shenbai frowned slightly as he said, “I’ve told you before that I’m not your dad, and your mom isn’t my wife. We’re not a family.”

Tears welled up in Xie Yumu’s eyes immediately as he said chokingly, “Yes! We’re a family! We’re a family!”

Tears kept falling down Xie Yumu’s face.

Mo Shenbai was about to scold Xie Yumu, but Xu Youyou took the lead and said in a soft voice, “Alright, alright. He’s still young and doesn’t understand what you’re saying.”

“Ha!” Mo Shenbai sneered as he thought to himself, ‘It’s not that he doesn’t understand. In fact, he probably understands too much.’

“Don’t cry, don’t cry anymore…” Xu Youyou said as she reached out to wipe Xie Yumu’s tears away. She coaxed him clumsily, “If you cry, you won’t be handsome anymore.”

Xie Yumu turned around and crawled into Xu Youyou’s arms.

Xu Youyou was afraid he would fall so she reached out to hug him.

Xie Yumu wiped his snot and tears on Xu Youyou’s dress.

Xu Youyou: “…”

Xie Yumu sniffed and peeked at Xu Youyou. Seeing that she was not angry, he unscrupulously wiped his snot and tears on her.
