Chapter 357 - Shen Mo Came to Their House as a Guest

Chapter 357 Shen Mo Came to Their House as a Guest“It must be Young Master Yan who fixed it. It has to be Young Master Yan who is so capable.”

Cai Yanyan smiled as well with the corners of her mouth upward. She took her phone and went out again because she still had work to do.

Originally, Xia Yu wanted to call Shen Yan. But she was afraid of interrupting him. Finally, she sent a message to him. It said that she had seen the apology letter on the Internet. He didn’t reply to Xia Yu’s message. After about ten minutes, the door of her office got pushed open. He went in.

He looked better than before. But his eyes were still cold. He went to the front of Xia Yu and reached out to squeeze her hand. He smiled with the corners of his mouth upward in a faint arc.

“Shen Yan, thank you.”

“Is ‘thank you’ necessary between us? If you really want to thank me, let me at the bottom position at night.” He whispered in her ear with very explicit words. He even laughed twice after saying these words, which made Xia Yu’s face turn red because of pudency. She felt heat waves in her body.

Xia Yu gave him a glare. But this glare ignited Shen Yan’s internal fire. He bit her lip and said against her lip in a harsh voice, “Don’t tempt me. I don’t have much self-control in front of you.” He touched her eyes gently with his hand while speaking.

Xia Yu was so shy that she didn’t know what to do. It would be fine if they were at home. But they were in the office. Cai Yanyan was outside working. She wanted to glare at him again. But thinking of the man’s fire which her glare just ignited, she looked down in a hurry.

Shen Yan held her in his arms for a while and then let her go. There was a forbearing look in his eyes.

“Do you know who is behind it?” He changed the topic and asked Xia Yu.

Xia Yu closed her lips lightly and said out the name Li Wen.

“It is Jiang Tao. This thing should have nothing to do with Li Wen.” Shen Yan squinted his eyes. His tone went cold.

“Jiang Tao?” Xia Yu was a little surprised when she just heard the name. But on second thought, Jiang Tao suffered a great loss due to the issue last time. He kept trying to find a way to get back at Shen Yan. Li Wen happened to badger with Xia Yu, and his opportunity was coming. It was possible that he pretended to be Li Wen to slander Xia Yu.

“Yes. He thought that he covered his traces so well that I couldn’t trace back to him. But I had some help, so I could find him so quickly.”

“Who helped you?” Xia Yu asked curiously. Since Shen Yan said this, it meant that it wasn’t his men who checked it out.

“My older brother.” Shen Yan’s expression also showed a sense of surprise. He might also not expect that Shen Mo would help them.

After they talked for a while, Liu Sijie came to look for Shen Yan. Not long after they went out, Shen Yan sent a message to Xia Yu, which said that he had something to do at night and might go home a little late. He asked Xia Yu to go to bed early and not wait for him.

Xia Yu replied “okay” and then looked at her phone. She thought about what Shen Yan said just now. Actually, she didn’t expect that Shen Mo would help her, either. Xia Yu sat down in a hurry and sent a message to Shen Mo. She said, “Young Master Mo, thank you.”

Shen Mo replied back quickly, “You are my friend. I won’t stand by and just watch someone slandering you.”

Was he supposed to say that since you were my brother’s girlfriend, I wouldn’t stand by and just watch someone slandering you? Why did he say that you were my friend? Was it a typo?

Um, it was very possible. But Xia Yu still felt warm in her heart. “Young Master Mo, are you free tonight? I want to invite you to dinner.”

Xia Yu knew Shen Mo was busy. She was just being polite. But Shen Mo replied quickly, “Okay!”

Okay? Xia Yu was stunned for a while. But she had already said it out. She couldn’t take it back. So, she said in a hurry, “What do you like to eat? I will make a reservation.”

“I want to eat something that you make personally.” Shen Mo didn’t have to think about it.

It was the sincerest way to thank him that she cooked herself. Fine. She would let it be. “Okay. When will you get off work?”

“I will be there at seven o’clock. Don’t have to indulge me. Anything will be fine.” Shen Mo said quickly.

Xia Yu had a look at the time. The time should be enough for her to buy some food now. When she passed by Shen Yan’s office and saw that he was still here, she told him that Shen Mo would go to their house to have dinner. “Shen Yan, I invited your older brother to have dinner at home.”

“Um, we should thank him. In this case, I will stay at home and accompany him.” Shen Yan made an arrangement and then went out with Xia Yu.

They went to the supermarket first to do the green grocery shopping. Shen Mo had a bland diet. Then she would make something bland. She picked a bass. She wanted to have it steamed, which would make it taste tender. She also bought some fresh shrimp and a cabbage. She wanted to cook fried shrimp with cabbage. Then she bought some ribs. Shen Yan had a strong taste. She would make his favorite, spicy chicken, for him.

Xia Yu prepared four dishes and one soup for three people. It was enough.

After doing the green grocery shopping, Xia Yu and Shen Yan went back to their villa. Seeing them bring some food back, Aunt Du wanted to take over.

Xia Yu said, “Shen Yan’s brother will come to dinner tonight. I will cook myself.”

“Okay. I will go to clean the room one more time.” Shen Yan’s brother was the First Young Master of Shen Family. Aunt Ma didn’t dare to be slighted. She treated him as a guest of honor.

Shen Yan took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves. He helped Xia Yu in peeling the shrimp and washing the vegetables carefully.

He was watching on the side when Xia Yu was cooking.

“Do you want to learn?” Seeing him watching carefully, Xia Yu asked with a smile.

“Yes. I want to learn how to cook and cook for you.” Shen Yan said sincerely in a soft voice.

Xia Yu was so moved. Even though she was cooking, she still turned around and kissed him on the cheek.

Just after she kissed him, the doorbell rang outside the door. It must be Shen Mo who came over. Aunt Du answered the door outside.

Hearing that Shen Mo’s voice came from outside, Xia Yu took the food out of the pot and turned off the fire. She came to the living room as well.

“Young Master Mo!” Xia Yu greeted him.

Shen Yan also came out in a hurry. He said, “Big brother!”

“Xia Yu, it smells great.” Shen Mo put a bottle of red wine on the table. Then he approached them with his face full of smile.

Xia Yu still had to cook. So, she prepared some fruit first and asked Shen Mo to rest in the living room.

After she finished cooking, she came out of the kitchen. She didn’t see the two brothers in the living room. Xia Yu called out to them. They came out from the balcony. They might be talking about something.

“You must be tired, Xia Yu.” Shen Mo approached Xia Yu with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.

“I’m not tired. I like cooking very much. Young Master Mo, take a seat!” Xia Yu said with a smile and pulled a chair for him.

Seeing that Shen Mo ate a few spicy chickens during dinner, Xia Yu felt strange. Didn’t he have a bland diet? Could he eat spicy food?

Probably sensing Xia Yu’s doubt, Shen Yan said with a smile on the side, “My big brother can eat spicy food. But my First Aunt likes bland food. However, she doesn’t want to make it a big deal. My big brother always says deliberately that he likes bland food out of filial piety so that the chef will prepare some bland food.”

That was the reason. It seemed that First Madame didn’t live as comfortably as she looked. A big family always had a lot of concerns. Even it was just a meal.

Shen Mo smiled and said, “Xiao Qiang always says that anything that you cook is delicious. My mom hasn’t tried it. She likes sweet and sour spare ribs. So, I want her to try your cooking.”

“I don’t know whether First Aunt likes it or not. If she likes it, I can cook for her again.” Xia Yu said with a smile.

Shen Mo nodded. “My mom always doesn’t like to praise others. But that day after you guys left, she actually praised you for the first time.”

“Really? Then I should definitely thank First Aunt for her praise.” Xia Yu smiled.

“You are so smug. Do you think that it is true? My big brother is teasing you.” Seeing that Xia Yu was a little smug, Shen Yan intentionally said this to hit her aside.

But who was Xia Yu? She would never believe him. “Young Master Mo is not like you. I believe what he said.”

Shen Mo smiled and asked, “Where is that puppy? Did Shen Yan throw it out to the street?”

He hadn’t seen the puppy in the room for such a long time since he got here. Combined with Shen Yan’s previous habit, he thought the puppy was gone.

“In the garden beside the house. Shen Yan bought a little house for it. Aunt Du likes dogs very much. It’s very happy here.” Aunt Du really liked dogs very much. She kept walking the dog twice a day. And every time was no less than twenty minutes.

Shen Mo had a look at Shen Yan and said, “How rare it is that you can live at peace with it for so long! It seems that love is really a powerful thing.”

Shen Yan raised the corners of his mouth slightly. “As long as it stays out of my sight, I am quite accommodating.”

If he was really accommodating, why didn’t he let the dog in? Shen Mo directly ignored what he said. He asked Xia Yu, “Does the puppy have a name? You said that you were going to name it that day.”

“Yes. Its name is Diudiu.” Xia Yu said while she was picking up the food.

Diudiu? Shen Mo nearly choked with a mouthful of rice stuck in his throat. Giving it such a name meant that he would throw it out at any time and place. He knew it must be Shen Yan who named it without guessing.

He looked at Shen Yan subconsciously, and Shen Yan was looking at him as well. They all couldn’t help laughing.

Shen Yan said, “Isn’t the name good?”

Shen Mo asked, “If you are going to be thrown away at any time and place, will you think it’s a good name?”

Then they all laughed. Shen Yan had a surprising discovery that his big brother smiled more than five times tonight. Just as he knew, it was the number of times of his smiling for a month.

Was it the good geomantic omen of his house, which made him in such a happy mood and become sonsy?

Shen Mo sat for a while after dinner. Then he left. Xia Yu and Shen Yan walked him out of the community. The driver was already waiting for him.

Xia Yu and Shen Yan went back home after the car left. Xia Yu sneezed a couple of times due to the heavy wind at night. Shen Yan directly took off his coat and wrapped her with it. Then he held her in his arms tightly and walked towards the villa quickly.

The driver happened to see this scene from the rearview mirror. He said, “Young Master Yan really cares deeply for Miss Xia.”

Shen Mo made an agreed voice and closed his eyes. It was unknown whether he was resting his mind by closing his eyes or thinking about something.

After Xia Yu went back to the villa with Shen Yan, Shen Yan took out some cold medicine. “Take it quickly!”

“I’m not having a cold.” Xia Yu just sneezed several times. She didn’t feel unwell. She didn’t think that she needed to take the medicine.

“It is a precaution. Be a good girl and take it quickly.” Shen Yan put the pill near Xia Yu’s mouth. She opened her mouth and took the medicine. Then she took the cup of water from his hand and drank a mouthful of it to swallow the pill.

She had a warm bath afterwards. All her pores were open. She felt very comfortable.

“You just go to bed first. I still have something to do.” Shen Yan went to his study. He planned to look for Jiang Tao with Liu Sijie at night originally. It was too easy for Jiang Tao to get away with an apology letter after Jiang Tao slandered his woman.

But Shen Mo came over in person. Shen Yan had to take him into account. Now he was gone. It was time for him to make a move.

“Young Master Yan, that a**hole , Jiang Tao just went into hiding in Zeng Family. It seems that he won’t come out tonight.” Liu Sijie had been waiting for such a long time on the way to Zeng Family with his men. He didn’t see Jiang Tao come out. He was still waiting there patiently.

Zeng Family had a connection with Shen Mo after all. Liu Sijie couldn’t barge in, holding back from taking action against Zeng Family for fear of injuring Shen Mo.

“Take your brothers to come back. Someone will deal with him.” Standing outside their house as bodyguards was useless. They wouldn’t thank them or pay them. Why bother?
