Chapter 5 Can I Move In With You?

• Mo Shenbai did not reply immediately. Instead, his dark eyes shifted to glance at Xu Tracey.
• Xu Tracey grew nervous. She felt as though her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She looked at him hopefully with her pair of big and shiny eyes.
• Mo Shenbai found Xu Tracey’s eyes hard to refuse. His Adam’s apple rolled once before he nodded calmly and said in a low voice, “Yes, I like her very much.”
• Mo Shenbai smiled faintly after he finished speaking and looked at Xu Tracey with an affectionate gaze.
• Xu Tracey sighed in relief inwardly. When she met his gaze, she felt her heart skip a beat, and she instinctively averted her eyes. She thought that his gaze was really too seductive; it was as though he truly liked her. She knew this was not the case since they had just met not too long ago.
• Old Madam Xu thought about it for a moment before she sighed softly and said, “Forget it. Since Tracey doesn’t like Lin Yin, the engagement with the Lin family should be annulled. Later, I’ll personally explain this to Old Madam Lin.”
• Old Madam Xu was unaware that Lin Yin had left during the wedding so Xu Tracey’s parents hurriedly said, “Mother, we’ll explain this matter to the Lin family. You should rest and take care of your health instead.”
• Old Madam Xu glanced at her son and hesitated for a moment before nodding. Then, she said to Mo Shenbai, “Little Shenbai, from now on, I’ll leave Tracey to you.”
• Xu Jialu tried to hold back his laughter, causing the corners of his lips to twitch. In the entire Mo City, only his grandmother would dare to address Mo Shenbai as Little Shenbai.
• Mo Shenbai’s expression remained calm. He replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll definitely take care of Tracey.;”
• When Mo Shenbai addressed Old Madam Xu as ‘Grandma’, not only did Xu Tracey look surprised, but Xu Jialu was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He thought to himself, ‘F*ck! This guy can really f*cking act!’
• Old Madam Xu looked a little tired at this point so the Xu couple sent her back to the hospital. At this point, she could not do without the meticulous care of the doctors and nurses at the hospital.
• Xu Jialu was called away as the driver, and before he left, he did not forget to glare at Mo Shenbai, warning him not to act rashly.
• With that, only Xu Tracey and Mo Shenbai were left in the huge villa. The atmosphere was quiet and awkward.
• After a moment, Xu Tracey’s eyelashes fluttered as she lifted her gaze to look at Mo Shenbai and said, “Mr. Mo, thank you for today.”
• “There’s no need to thank me.”
• Perhaps, now that the elders of the family were gone, Mo Shenbai had returned to being aloof again. He was difficult to approach and did not even look at her.
• Xu Tracey knew that Mo Shenbai only agreed to her request because of their deal. Nonetheless, she was still grateful that he was willing to cooperate with her in front of her grandmother. He said, “Mr. Mo, I’ll save your sister, but I have another presumptuous request.”
• Upon hearing this, Mo Shenbai’s eyes flashed slightly with a hint of disdain.
• Xu Tracey pursed her lips before she asked softly, “Can I move in with you?”
• Mo Shenbai narrowed his eyes and did not reply immediately. As though she was afraid Mo Shenbai would refuse her, Xu Tracey hastily said, “You can just think of it as me renting one of your rooms. I’m willing to pay rent!”
• After saying that, Xu Tracey seemed to realize something and bit her lower lip in annoyance. She thought that she had said something stupid.
• After all, as the Chairman of the Mo Group, would he care about the rent she offered to pay? Hence, she said, “Forget it. I’ll think of a way myself. Thank you.”
• Mo Shenbai’s back was straight as he sat on the couch. His slender jade-like fingers rested on the top of his black pants. Due to the contrast, his fingers looked even more slender and fairer.
• Whether it was intentional or not, his fingers tapped his knees repeatedly as his dark and piercing gaze captured all the little expressions on Xu Tracey’s face.
• Moon Pavilion.
• Pei Chuan passed Xu Tracey’s red leather suitcase to the butler. Out of kindness, he reminded her, “Miss Xu, Chairman Mo doesn’t like strangers entering his bedroom and his study. Apart from those two places, you’re free to go wherever you want.”
• Xu Tracey thought that Mo Shenbai only agreed to her moving in with him because of her brother. Since she felt like she owed him a favor, she was not offended by Pei Chuan’s words. Instead, she smiled and nodded. “Thank you for the reminder.”
• Then, Pei Chuan looked at the butler meaningfully. The butler seemed to understand and gestured to Xu Tracey and said, “Miss Xu, please follow me.”
• Xu Tracey followed the butler. Just as she was about to go to the second floor, as though she just recalled something, she turned back to look at Pei Chuan, who was about to leave. She hesitated for a moment before she said, “Uh, Miss Mo…”
• Pei Chuan stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the butler before he replied to Xu Tracey in a concise manner, “Someone will come to pick you up tomorrow.”
• Xu Tracey understood Pei Chuan’s meaning. She nodded and only said, “Goodbye.”
• The butler led Xu Tracey to a room on the southern side of the second floor that had the best lighting before he asked, “Miss Xu, are you satisfied with this room? Otherwise, I’ll bring you to another room.”
• Xu Tracey stood at the entrance and studied the room. It was clean and bright with excellent lighting. She thought to herself, ‘Is Mo Shenbai so kind? Not only did he agree to my request, but he even gave me such a good room!’
• Naturally, Xu Tracey had no objections regarding the room that had been arranged for her.
• In the evening.
• In order not to disturb Mo Shenbai, she told the butler to send the dinner up to her room.
• After having her dinner, she brought out a set of pajamas from her suitcase before she went to take shower in the bathroom.
• When she was done, she lay on her bed, exhausted. After tormenting herself with her thoughts for the entire day, she was tired. However, now that she was lying on the bed, she discovered that she could not sleep. Instead, her mind was buzzing with thoughts. She could not help but feel sad when she recalled the scenes of Lin Yin leaving.
• ‘It seems like he really doesn’t like me at all. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have abandoned me on such an important day. He didn’t care about my feelings or my reputation at all.’
• After a while, she sat up on her bed and inhaled deeply. Then, she said to motivate herself, “Xu Tracey, you’re only allowed to feel sad because of him for tonight. When the sun rises tomorrow, you have to let him go. Since things are like that now, you have to live well.”
• Xu Tracey had a restless night. She only fell asleep when it was almost dawn. She did not sleep for long before she was woken up by a knock on the door. It was the housekeeper informing her that the driver was here.
• She glanced at her phone and saw that it was 8.30 in the morning. She quickly responded and got out of bed to get ready.
• When she went downstairs, the housekeeper was already waiting at the foot of the stairs. The housekeeper asked, “Miss Xu, what would you like to eat for breakfast? I’ll get the kitchen to prepare it for you.”
• Xu Tracey shook her head. ” No need.” Then, she looked at the driver, who was waiting at the entrance, and said, “Let’s go.”
• The driver drove Xu Tracey to a private hospital in Mo City. He led her all the way to the ward before he left.
• Pei Chuan, who was already waiting at the entrance of the ward, made an inviting gesture before he pushed the door open.
• When Xu Tracey walked in, she saw a man sitting by the bed. He was dressed in a white shirt. There was no tie, and his sleeves were rolled up, revealing his beautiful wrists. He had just finished wiping the face of the girl lying on the bed. After he handed the towel to the nurse, his piercing gaze landed on Xu Tracey.
• Golden light shone in through the spacious French window, illuminating the girl lying on the bed. Her skin seemed almost translucent, and her veins could be clearly seen. She looked like she was about 17 or 18 years old, and there was a slight resemblance between her and Mo Shenbai’s eyes. She was none other than Mo Zhiyun, Mo Shenbai’s younger sister.
• Half a year ago, Mo Zhiyun almost drowned. Although she was saved just in time, she had been in a coma ever since.
• Mo Shenbai had invited famous doctors from all over to look at his sister, but they were all helpless. For this reason, he was rather curious about how this ordinary young girl in front of him was going to cure his sister.
