A knocking sound woke Xu Youyou up. She opened her eyes, and an expression of fear could be seen on her face.
Cang Ming, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, turned back to look at her and asked worriedly, “Madam, are you okay?”
Xu Youyou slowly regained her senses and shook her head. At the same time, she heard someone calling out to her.
“Youyou…”
Xu Youyou turned to the side and saw Su Lanxu, who was dressed in her home clothes.
Su Lanxu had no makeup on, and her hair was tied into a bun. She looked frail, and a worried expression could be seen on her face as she looked at Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou alighted from the car immediately.
Su Lanxu asked in a hoarse voice when she saw that Xu Youyou looked unwell, “I called you for a long time. When I came out, I saw that you didn’t get out of the car for a long time. Are you okay?”
Xu Youyou nodded. “I’m fine. I just fell asleep.”
“Let’s go in. It’s cold outside,” Su Lanxu said before she held Xu Youyou’s hand and pulled her into the house.
Cang Ming brought out the things Xu Youyou bought from the back of the car and brought them into the house before he tactfully waited outside.
The huge villa was empty and quiet. No matter how beautiful it was, it could not hide the loneliness.
Xu Youyou saw the empty villa and knew that Su Lanxu was home alone again. “Uncle and Aunt aren’t home?”
Su Lanxu lay on the couch weakly and said nonchalantly as though she was used to it, “It’d be strange if they’re home.”
Su Lanxu’s parents were always busy with work or traveling abroad. It was as though they had long forgotten about their daughter.

Xu Youyou walked to the side and sat down before she touched Su Lanxu’s forehead. “You don’t have a fever, do you?”
Su Lanxu replied in a slightly nasally voice, “No. I just have a cold. I’ll be fine in two days.”
“I brought medicine. I’ll cook for you after this.”
“I want to eat grill lambchop, spicy chicken, sour soup, and beef,” Su Lanxu said. Perhaps, it was due to the cold, she wanted to eat something with a strong taste.
Xu Youyou shook her head and said in a soft but firm voice, “No can do. You’re sick so you should only eat porridge.”
Su Lanxu, who had just sat up, lay down again and said helplessly, “Then, you might as well let me starve to death.”
“I’ll make them for you when you recover from your cold,” Xu Youyou said with a smile, attempting to comfort Su Lanxu.
“Alright,” Su Lanxu said reluctantly.
Xu Youyou made shredded vegetable porridge and fried two plates of vegetables. After Su Lanxu was done eating, she prepared to clean the dishes.
However, Su Lanxu held Xu Youyou’s hand and stopped her. “Leave it. The cleaner will clean it when they come over tomorrow.”
Xu Youyou did not insist. She poured a glass of water so Su Lanxu could take her medicine before she told Su Lanxu about what happened with Mo Shenbai.
Su Lanxu was surprised, but it did not take long for happiness to replace her surprise. She toasted Xu Youyou with the glass of water and said, “Congratulations! You’ve successfully taken down Mo Shenbai, the most mysterious and eligible bachelor in Mo City.”
“I haven’t taken him down yet,” Xu Youyou said with a sheepish smile.
“He has already agreed to let you pursue him. He must be interested in you!” Su Lanxu said excitedly as she nudged Xu Youyou’s shoulder. She looked so happy that it was as though she was the one who had gotten into a relationship. She said, “I knew my intuition was right! The first time I saw both of you standing together, I knew both of you would definitely be together!”
Xu Youyou smiled faintly. “Thank you! I’m counting on your blessings!”
‘I wish to take Mo Shenbai down as soon as possible!’
“You’re welcome!” Su Lanxu said.
At this time, Xu Youyou recalled that she and Mo Shenbai had left early last night. She wondered what happened to her brother and Su Lanxu so she asked, “Did you quarrel with my brother again last night?”
A knocking sound woke Xu Youyou up. She opened her eyes, and an expression of fear could be seen on her face.
