Mo Shenbai felt strong and warm emotions surging from the depths of his heart at this moment. He lowered his head, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.
Xu Jialu saw the smile on Mo Shenbai’s face and said unhappily, “Why are you smiling? Don’t gloat in front of me!”
Mo Shenbai adjusted his expression before he said, “Let’s go.”
“Huh?”
“Play squash.”
Xu Jialu was briefly stunned. When he recovered, he rose to his feet and said energetically, “Come on! Long live socialism! Let’s defeat the unscrupulous capitalist!”
…
The sun was setting in the west, and Moon Pavilion was bathed in its light.
Xie Tingxi held Xie Yumu’s hand as they walked into the house. Xie Yumu shook off his hand and threw himself into Xu Youyou’s arms.
“Godmother, I miss you so much!” Xie Yumu said sweetly.
Xu Youyou pinched Xie Yumu’s cheek and asked, “Do you miss me or do you miss the delicious food I make?”
Xie Yumu giggled. “Both!”
Xu Youyou patted Xie Yumu’s head before she asked the butler to bring out the snacks that she had prepared earlier for Xie Yumu. Then, she looked at Xie Tingxi and said, “Thanks for bringing Mumu here.”
Xu Youyou felt it would be too lonely if it were just her and Mo Shenbai celebrating his birthday so she invited a few people over.
Xie Tingxi smiled politely. “Shenbai and I have been friends for many years. Even if you didn’t invite me, I would’ve come.”
At this time, footsteps rang from the entrance.
Bo Qi walked in with a bottle of wine and said, “Little friend, you’re really capable. Only you are able to make Shenbai celebrate his…”
Bo Qi stopped speaking immediately when he saw Qin Siyu walking down the stairs.
Qin Siyu was wearing a tight knitted black dress that accentuated her graceful figure. Her body was curvy in the right places, and her waist was small. It contrasted with her light makeup that made her look pure and charming.
As soon as Bo Qi looked at Qin Siyu, intimate scenes from their past flashed in his mind. He could not help but gulp, and his eyes burned with desire.
Qin Siyu had already expected to see Bo Qi here so she was not surprised. She did not pay attention to him and said to Xu Youyou, “Everything is ready upstairs. Is there anything else I can help you with?”
“Everything is almost ready. You’ve worked hard. Why don’t you rest first?” Xu Youyou said, looking at Qin Siyu gratefully. If it were not for Qin Siyu’s help, she would not have been able to handle everything so smoothly.
Qin Yu did not stand on ceremony. She was indeed a little tired after standing for half a day. She walked to the couch and sat down before she looked at her phone.
Bo Qi walked to Xu Youyou and said in a low voice, “Sister-in-law, why did you invite her here?”
Ever since Qin Siyu tore off her disguise in front of Bo Qi and revealed her true colors, Bo Qi still had not figured out how to face her.
“Sister Siyu is my friend and also Mr. Bai’s friend. Why can’t I invite her?” Xu Youyou asked in return.
Bo Qi was silent. Xu Youyou was the host so it was up to her who she wanted to invite. He did not have a say in who she chose to invite. After passing the bottle of wine to the butler, he went to the backyard, telling everyone he wanted to have a cigarette.
Qin Siyu and Xie Tingxi did not know each other so the atmosphere was slightly awkward as both of them sat in the living room.
After a moment, Xie Tingxi rose to his feet and joined Bo Qi in the backyard.
Xu Youyou moved next to Qin Siyu and asked worriedly, “Sister Siyu, are you okay?”
Qin Siyu looked at Xu Youyou’s innocent face and asked, “If I say that I’m not okay, are you going to ask him to leave?”
Xu Youyou said awkwardly, “Uh… I don’t think so. He’s Mr. Bai’s friend, after all.”
Qin Siyu smiled. “I’m just teasing you. Since I agreed to come, I’ve already expected to see him. Don’t worry about me. You can go about your business.”
Xu Youyou was relieved. “If he gives you trouble, tell me! I’ll tell Mr. Bai to deal with him.”
The smile on Qin Siyu’s face widened. “Okay.”
However, inwardly, Qin Siyu thought that even if Bo Qi looked for trouble with her, it would not be Mo Shenbai’s place to deal with him. She would deal with him herself.
After Qin Siyu reassured her, Xu Youyou finally returned to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Bo Qi, who was in the backyard, could easily see Qin Siyu in the living room through the French window.
Qin Siyu’s smile was different from before. In the past, her smile was restrained and gentle. Her voice was also soft and gentle. She looked innocent and sweet. Now that she had removed that disguise, her smile was dazzlingly bright. Her gaze was also seductive.
When Bo Qi saw her smile now, he could clearly feel his heart speed up.
‘This is f*cking ridiculous!’
Xie Tingxi followed Bo Qi’s gaze and glanced at the beautiful woman in the living room. Then, he asked, “You like her?”
Bo Qi looked away from Qin Siyu and replied, “No.”
Xie Tingxi flicked the cigarette between his fingers, causing the ashes to fall. Then, he said, “Let me tell you something. You won’t be able to keep someone like her unless you want to be the second Mo Shenbai.”
Letting another person have the upper hand in a relationship was not easy. This was especially true for people who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. Their pride and self-respect were deeply etched on their bones. How could they be willing to give up the reins to a woman and be a slave to love?
All of them thought Mo Shenbai would remain high and mighty. Who knew he would one day fall at the hands of a young woman? Not only did he give her the reins, but all his emotions were led by the nose by her.
As good friends, they were naturally happy that Mo Shenbai was happy, but they also felt embarrassed when they saw how obedient he was to Xu Youyou.
Bo Qi scoffed. “I won’t be the second Mo Shenbai.” Then, he switched the topic and asked, “You… Did you really not have feelings for Yun Youwei at all since the beginning? Was it all fake?”
Xie Tingxi’s eyes behind his glasses were without ripples as he said calmly, “To me, whether it’s Yun Youwei or another woman, they’re no different to me.”
Bo Qi was just about to praise Bo Qi for his ruthlessness when a piece of cake suddenly landed on Xie Tingxi’s suit.
Xie Tingxi frowned and looked up. He saw Xie Yumu standing at the door of the backyard.
Xie Yumu’s eyes were red as he shouted, “Bast*rd! You big bast*rd!”
After that, Xie Yumu turned around and ran inside.
Bo Qi said gloatingly, “What are you going to do? You seemed to have offended you can’t afford to offend.”
Xie Tingxi calmly brought out a handkerchief before wiping the cream off his suit before he looked at Bo Qi silently.
Bo Qi stopped smiling and said sheepishly, “I didn’t know he’d eavesdrop on us.”
Xie Tingxi did not say anything and walked into the house.
After running into the house, Xie Yumu instinctively ran into the room where he used to stay and locked the door.
Since Xu Youyou expected Xie Yumu to come and stay with them every once in a while, she did not change anything and maintained the room. The room was regularly cleaned.
After speaking to the helper, Xie Tingxi learned that Xie Yumu had gone upstairs. He walked to the room and knocked.
Xie Yumu did not respond at all.
Meanwhile, Xu Youyou, who had heard about what happened in the kitchen, took off her apron and went upstairs to have a look. She asked, “What’s going on?”
“He locked himself in the room. Can I trouble you to get the spare key?” Xie Tingxi asked calmly.
Xu Youyou turned to look at the butler.
Before Xu Youyou spoke, the butler said, “I’ll go and get it.”
Then, Xu Youyou turned to look at Xie Tingxi and asked curiously, “Why did Mumu lock himself up in the room? He was fine earlier.”
Mo Shenbai felt strong and warm emotions surging from the depths of his heart at this moment. He lowered his head, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.
Xu Jialu saw the smile on Mo Shenbai’s face and said unhappily, “Why are you smiling? Don’t gloat in front of me!”
Mo Shenbai adjusted his expression before he said, “Let’s go.”
