Besides multicolored black, there’s also multicolored white.
The white of the dress isn’t much different from the white of pearls.
“Both are good.”
Such an ambiguous answer – was this still Mo Yanzhou?
If both were good, did that mean she was also good in Mo Yanzhou’s eyes?
After all, she was delicate and soft, easy to push over, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, long legs, gentle, considerate, careful, smart, well-behaved and obedient – full of excellent qualities!
After arriving at the restaurant, Mo Yanzhou faintly sensed something wasn’t quite right.
A couples’ restaurant?
Then what about Mo Du?
Were they bringing him along as their child?
After entering the private room, Mo Yanzhou received a message from his younger brother.
[Mo Du: Bro, I won’t disturb you two! Have a good meal with my sister-in-law. (～￣▽￣)～]
“He’s not coming.” Mo Yanzhou put down his phone.
Bai Yunxia set down her bag and sat down first. “Younger brother has put great thought into this, we shouldn’t disappoint his kindness.”
It was just one meal anyway, it wasn’t like she was going to eat Mo Yanzhou.
Mo Du had already ordered lunch for them. After they entered, the server directly served the dishes, thoughtfully poured them two glasses of wine, then closed the door and left.
Wine wasn’t exactly a good thing.
She wouldn’t drink it.
In the couples’ restaurant, the private room was decorated very romantically. Roses were placed on the table, and besides the aroma of food, there was a faint fragrance in the air.
One meal couldn’t really deepen their relationship, so Bai Yunxia focused on eating. When she was about seventy percent full, she put down her chopsticks, propped her chin with her hand, and stared unblinkingly with her sparkling eyes at Mo Yanzhou, who was eating elegantly across from her.
How could this person do everything so elegantly!
Even the way he ate was so good-looking.
She felt she might be developing just a little bit of liking for Mo Yanzhou.
(⊙o⊙)…
Why would she like Mo Yanzhou, this big ice block!
Mo Yanzhou felt an itch in his heart under her clear, bright gaze. How could she stare at someone for so long without changing her expression? Even when discovered, she just blinked playfully and continued looking, showing no embarrassment at being caught.
“Good-looking?”
Mo Yanzhou asked inexplicably.
“Very good-looking.” Bai Yunxia murmured softly, “Not just good-looking, but I want to touch…”
What kind of wild words was she saying!
She spoke without thinking!
She had voiced her inner thoughts.
Wanting to touch was real, but Mo Yanzhou wouldn’t let her.
Mo Yanzhou’s expression remained cool and detached. He picked up the red wine on the table and took a small sip, as if he could already feel a fair, slender hand wandering over his body.
He inexplicably believed that Bai Yunxia would say it and then do it.
She was quite bold.
Bai Yunxia’s eyes looked timid and soft. “I’m just curious, you’re so busy with work, how do you maintain such a good figure? I want to touch to see if your abdominal muscles are real or fake…”
The more she explained, the more she seemed to be covering up. Her mind, confused by male charm, wasn’t clear anymore.
“Abdominal muscles can be fake?” Mo Yanzhou put down his wine glass and asked calmly.
“Yes! Some men without abdominal muscles suck in their stomachs. They think sucking in their stomach creates abdominal muscles – ridiculous! It just makes their belly appear concave. There are even fake abdominal muscles sold online.” Bai Yunxia picked up her phone, found what she was looking for, and got up to approach him.
The seats in the private room were sofa-style soft seats, quite spacious, more than enough to seat two people.
Bai Yunxia sat down beside Mo Yanzhou, leaning her head close to show him her phone screen. “Fake abs! Fake shoulders, fake pectoral muscles—they have full sets! Especially those online influencers and actors who pad themselves during filming, some even go as far as drawing abdominal lines on their stomachs. If you don’t have them, just work out! Using fakes like these—do they think we’re blind? Men are so vain…”
“I’m real.”
Bai Yunxia put down her phone, her eyes sparkling even brighter. “Your abs? I’ll need to touch them myself to verify whether you’re telling the truth.”
“Do you really need to touch them?”
Mo Yanzhou deliberately teased her, withholding the satisfaction.
He was a master at playing hard to get.
“Didn’t you see them this morning?” Mo Yanzhou’s voice remained calm, a faint smile flickering in his dark, cool eyes.
Unfortunately, Bai Yunxia wasn’t looking at his face and missed the rare smile from this usually aloof, restrained man.
“It was a bit far, I couldn’t see clearly. I need to feel them to judge how firm your abs are and count how many you have.” Bai Yunxia grinned, staring unabashedly at Mo Yanzhou’s waist and abdomen.
Would he let her touch them?
It wasn’t that she was being lustful.
She just wanted to close the distance with her dear husband.
Physical contact was one way to deepen their relationship.
Mo Yanzhou lowered his gaze slightly, taking in her smooth black hair, the white bow, and the pale, delicate curve of her neck. No woman had ever stared so openly at his abdomen before—it made him hold his breath, struggling to maintain composure. “Then you might need glasses.”
Bai Yunxia: (T＿T)
Go ahead, be reserved! Stay aloof! See if I care!
She snatched her phone and stomped back to the opposite seat in a huff.
She refused to look at Mo Yanzhou anymore, turning instead to gaze out the window at the blue sky and white clouds, her face clearly broadcasting her displeasure.
“Are you full?”
How could he ask so calmly if she’d eaten enough? Was Mo Yanzhou completely oblivious?
She wasn’t full—she was stuffed with anger.
“Yeah, I’m going to the hospital to see Dad.” Bai Yunxia picked up her bag and stood to leave.
“I’ll come with you.”
Even after leaving the private room and settling into Mo Yanzhou’s car, Bai Yunxia’s mind was still buzzing.
He wouldn’t let her touch him, yet he was willing to accompany her to the hospital to see her father.
Was Mo Yanzhou into platonic relationships?
That wouldn’t work for her. She believed couples needed to hug, hold each other, and be affectionate.
When they arrived at the hospital parking lot and got out, a subordinate who had been waiting handed Mo Yanzhou two gift bags and a fruit-and-flower basket.
One shouldn’t visit their father-in-law empty-handed.
Bai Yunxia hadn’t even noticed when Mo Yanzhou had arranged this.
The hospital was bustling during the day. From the parking lot to the inpatient ward, Bai Yunxia overheard countless exclamations: “So handsome! Like a celebrity!” “They look perfect together!” “Nuwa clearly favors some people—I’m just a splatter of mud!”
Mo Yanzhou’s face truly was a masterpiece of Nuwa’s craftsmanship—meticulously sculpted, flawless in every way, except for his icy personality.
Bai Yunxia pushed open the hospital room door to find three people inside.
Her parents and her sister were all there.
“Sis!”
Delighted to see Bai Yushuang after so long, Bai Yunxia rushed over, linking arms with her sister and acting coy. “You didn’t even tell me you were back from your business trip.”
“I came straight to the hospital as soon as I landed.” Bai Yushuang gently steadied her.
Even after marriage, she was still so clingy and childish.
Mo Yanzhou was not overlooked either; at least Bai Yuqiu and Feng Jie’s gazes fell upon this outstanding son-in-law who stood out among men.
“Yanzhou is here.” Due to illness, Bai Yuqiu’s voice was extremely weak, speaking softly as he forced a smile. “Xiaxia, pour him a glass of water.”
“No need, I’m not thirsty.” Mo Yanzhou refused coldly. “You chat, I’ll wait outside.”
He left right after entering.
The moment Mo Yanzhou left, the three people in the hospital room all turned their eyes to Bai Yunxia’s face, filled with concern.
