Xie Yumu still had to go to the hospital over the next three days, and for those three days, Xu Jialu brought him to the hospital.
On the first day, Yun Youwei firmly refused Xu Jialu. After all, Xu Jialu drove a sports car, and it was not safe for a child to ride in a sports car. As a result, he abandoned his sports car and called for a cab.
The next day, Xu Jialu came to pick the mother and son up in an ordinary Mercedes Benz. Yun Youwei still wanted to refuse, but he directly carried Xie Yumu into the back seat of the car, not giving Yun Youwei a chance to refuse.
Yun Youwei: “…”
On the third day, not wanting her son to be handled so roughly again by Xu Jialu, Yun Youwei took the initiative to get into the car.
When they returned, Xu Jialu sent Yun Youwei and Xu Jialu upstairs.
After Yun Youwei thanked Xu Jialu, he said, “You’re welcome. We’ll be a family sooner or later anyway.”
Xu Jialu did not act like an outsider at all.
Yun Youwei frowned slightly.
However, before she could refute Xu Jialu’s words, Xie Yumu said, “We’re not a family. I won’t call you ‘Dad’!”
Xu Jialu raised an eyebrow slightly. “Little bastard, did I treat you so well over the past few days for nothing? My appearance is far superior to that of Old Mo! You’re lucky to be able to call me ‘Dad’! Don’t be ungrateful!”
“I said you’re not my dad so you’re not!” Xie Yumu said stubbornly. Although he did not dislike being carried by Xu Jialu over the past few days, he still did not see eye to eye with Xu Jialu. No matter how Xu Jialu insisted on becoming his father, he refused. He already had two fathers, and he really did not need a third one!
Xu Jialu looked at Xie Yumu with an annoyed expression and said, “You little ungrateful and heartless thing!”
Yun Youwei did not want the child to listen to Xu Jialu’s nonsense so she patted Xie Yumu’s head gently as she said, “Mumu, go back to your room first.”
Xie Yumu was usually mischievous, but he listened to Yun Youwei. He nodded and ran into his room.
Yun Youwei waited until Xie Yumu closed the door before she said, “I’m very grateful for your help over the past few days, but I hope you won’t say such things in front of a child.”
“So what if he’s a child? Children can still understand human language. If you continue to coddle him, he’ll only become a mama’s boy.”
“Xu Jialu!” Yun Youwei said coldly. No mother could endure others talking about their children in that manner, after all.
Xu Jialu acted as though he did not hear her as he said, “This family can’t live without a man like me.”
As he spoke, he walked into the house unceremoniously.
Yun Youwei looked at him vigilantly as she moved to block him. “What do you want?”
“I need to use the bathroom,” Xu Jialu said as his gaze swept across the room, “Don’t tell me you’re so stingy that you won’t even allow me to use the bathroom.”
“…” Yun Youwei was choked by Xu Jialu’s words. In the end, she could only point at a door and said, “It’s over there.”
As Xu Jialu swaggered over to the bathroom, Xie Yumu’s voice rang from his bedroom.
“Mom, mom!”
“What’s wrong, Mumu?” Yun Youwei asked, walking to Xie Yumu’s bedroom.
Meanwhile, Xu Jialu entered the bathroom. It was not big, but it was very clean. After he answered nature’s call, he returned to the living room and found that Yun Youwei was still in Xie Yumu’s bedroom. He seized the opportunity and looked around the living room, the kitchen, the dining room, and… the master bedroom. Since they were going to live together in the future, there was no need for him to act like an outsider. Hence, he boldly walked into Yun Youwei’s room.
The bed sheets were a light neutral color. The curtains had floral patterns. There was a dressing table by the window with some makeup on it.
Since Xu Jialu was not interested in makeup, he did not pay attention to the dressing table. However, just as he shifted his eyes to the bed, he caught a glimpse of two bottles that stood out among the makeup from the corners of his eyes. He walked over and picked up a bottle with his slender fingers to have a look. Although he did not understand the words on the label, he knew very well it was medicine.
When Xu Jialu heard a sound, he quickly put the bottle back on the table before he slid his hands into his pockets. Then, he slowly turned around to look at Yun Youwei who had just walked in.
Yun Youwei frowned as a hint of suspicion flashed in her gentle eyes. “What are you doing in my room?”
“Just taking a look,” Xu Jialu said nonchalantly and calmly, “After we get married, I’m sure you won’t want to live with your in-laws. I have to see your bedroom since it’d be our room in the future…”
“Xu Jialu, I won’t marry you,” Yun Youwei said in a gentle but firm tone, “Please don’t say such things again.”
“If you won’t marry me, who will you marry? Mo Shenbai?” Xu Jialu asked as he strode over to her with his long legs.
Yun Youwei did not answer him immediately. Perhaps, it was due to his oppressive aura, she instinctively turned away from him before she said, “It’s none of your business to whom I marry!”
“It’s indeed none of my business who you decide to marry,” Xu Jialu said as indecipherable emotions flashed in his eyes, “However, if you continue to pester Mo Shenbai and make my sister unhappy, then I’ll be unhappy. When I’m unhappy, I like to make others unhappy as well.”

He did not bother to hide the threat as he spoke coldly and unreservedly.
“You!” Yun Youwei raised her head slightly, causing her nose to brush past his chin slightly. His warm breath blew across her forehead slightly, shocking her into stumbling back.
Yun Youwei, who was caught off guard, was about to crash into the door, but Xu Jialu reacted quickly. He grabbed her arm with one hand while the other hand held the back of her head to protect her.
Yun Youwei was slightly startled. After a moment, she quickly pushed him away. She lowered her gaze and said, “I won’t pester Mo Shenbai anymore. You can leave now.”
Xu Jialu did not believe her. He asked skeptically, “You’re giving up so easily?”
Yun Youwei’s long eyelashes fluttered slightly. When she looked up, she smiled self-deprecatingly and said, “What else can I do? It’s better than marrying you or letting you harass me every few days.”
“I like smart women like you,” Xu Jialu said with a smirk, “Don’t worry. From now on, I’ll take care of you mother and son. If you have any problems, you can look for me. I guarantee that I’ll be at your beck and call.”
After Xu Jialu finished speaking, he brought out a dark blue business card from his pocket and stuffed it into Yun Youwei’s porcelain-like hand.
“Alright, I’m leaving,” Xu Jialu said. Since Yun Youwei agreed to stop pestering Mo Shenbai, there was no reason for him to stay any longer.
Yun Youwei watched as Xu Jialu’s handsome figure gradually disappeared from her sight before she turned back to look at her dressing table. Her expression was one of sorrow mixed with other emotions.
…
Classes were going to start in two days for Xu Youyou. Before the start of her classes, she decided to go to Blue Temptations.
Bo Qi, the boss of Blue Temptations, whom Xu Youyou had not seen for a long time was also present.
Tonight, they did not sit in a private room. Instead, they sat at a table outside.
Since Bo Qi was paying for the drinks, Xu Jialu did not stand on ceremony and ordered many drinks.
Xu Youyou, who was seated next to Mo Shenbai, obediently drank water and ate. When she saw everyone drinking, she could not help but reach out for a glass of cocktail when Mo Shenbai was talking. Alas, before she could lift the glass, a hand reached out to hold her wrist.
“You’re about to have your period in two days, can you pay attention to your health?”
Xie Yumu still had to go to the hospital over the next three days, and for those three days, Xu Jialu brought him to the hospital.
On the first day, Yun Youwei firmly refused Xu Jialu. After all, Xu Jialu drove a sports car, and it was not safe for a child to ride in a sports car. As a result, he abandoned his sports car and called for a cab.
