Chapter 97 - Told a Story

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Liu woke up at 9 am the next day. She had no dreams and slept soundly. She did not remember what happened last night.

Fang Liu felt that Chu Hao’s calming incense had worked well. Just as she planned to use it again at night, Mo Yu said with a sullen face, “That medicine is useless, so I threw it away.”

“What? I thought that the incense was pretty good. I slept soundly last night,” Fang Liu said as she stretched.

Mo Yu’s eyes became dark. His emotions ran wild last night, and he did not fall asleep until the second half of the night.

‘Of course, you slept well. I’m the one who suffered the real torture,’ Mo Yu said helplessly in his heart.

He had already called Chu Hao early in the morning to ask about the incense. Mo Yu did not directly mention what Fang Liu had done last night. He only said that she seemed very uncomfortable after taking medicine.

“Are you a f*cking kidding me? My wife almost got into an accident!”

Mo Yu almost got into an ‘accident’ as well.

Mo Yu’s harsh tone frightened Chu Hao. Chu Hao said in puzzlement, “That shouldn’t be. Hold on. I’ll go and take a closer look at the description…”

A few minutes later, Chu Hao returned after checking the description of the medication. He said with some surprise, “The calming incense might cause an allergic reaction to some people, but the probability is very low. It’s about one in ten thousand. I didn’t expect that Fang Liu would be allergic to it. But you can’t blame this on me. I can’t predict these things perfectly.”

Mo Yu knew the reason, but he couldn’t be bothered to talk to Chu Hao for too long. He immediately hung up the phone after Chu Hao finished talking.

Now, because Mo Yu had thrown away the remainder of the calming incense, he was afraid that Fang Liu wouldn’t be able to sleep again, so he proceeded to look for some other methods to help her fall asleep. He even unwillingly asked Chu Hao for advice. When night came, Mo Yu lit a soothing incense and played some relaxing music. Then he took a storybook and sat next to Fang Liu. He began to read fairy tales to her.

“Once upon a time, there was a grassland where a herd of sheep and a wolf lived…”

Fang Liu was confused.

It was true that she had insomnia, but she wasn’t a child.

Fang Liu had no choice but to listen to Mo Yu’s story.

Mo Yu was usually very quiet in front of others, so when had he ever done something like this before? His tone was stiff and awkward as he read the fairy tale. It was similar to when he would talk to his subordinates at the Mo Corporation. His expression was cold and indifferent.

Fang Liu had a hard time listening. However, she bit her tongue and remained silent to honor Mo Yu’s good intentions.

Halfway through the story, Fang Liu suddenly said, “How can a wolf not catch a sheep? That shouldn’t be right.”

Mo Yu was talking about the big bad wolf chasing the sheep. “It chased and chased till sheep ran to the top of a mountain…”

When Mo Yu suddenly heard Fang Liu’s question, he became stunned.

When Mo Yu came back to his senses, he lowered his head and saw Fang Liu blinking her big bright eyes at him in high spirits. She did not look sleepy at all.

Mo Yu had planned to tell Fang Liu a story to coax her to sleep. Instead, she perked up her ears and pointed out the inconsistencies in the fairy tale.

“Maybe the wolf is very old…” Mo Yu said casually.

Although Fang Liu still had some doubts, she reluctantly agreed with this statement.

Because fairy tales were real, there were naturally many instances that did not conform to the logic of reality.

But because Fang Liu had never listened to fairy tales when she was a child, she could not understand these stories at all. Every time she heard something that didn’t make sense, she would ask about it.

Fang Liu would ask a question, while Mo Yu would rack his brain to think of a logical explanation. It was not until a little past 1 am that Mo Yu finally coaxed Fang Liu to sleep.

‘Sigh, it would seem that coaxing a wife is not easy…’ Mo Yu had a helpless look on his face.

After covering Fang Liu with a blanket, Mo Yu put down the storybook and turned his head to lie down and face Fang Liu.

The faint moonlight shone through the window. Fang Liu’s face was blurred by the shadows, making her look even more adorable and pure.

Mo Yu looked at his wife as if she had melted his heart. Fang Liu looked sweet and gentle, making Mo Yu feel a warmth spread through his heart.

They would be happy together forever, right?

It seems like they undoubtedly would.

…

Meanwhile, when Xiao Chen visited the Mo family home, he specifically picked a day when Mo Yu was not home. The butler did not know who Xiao Chen was, so he confusingly informed Fang Liu about Xiao Chen.

When Fang Liu heard Xiao Chen’s name, she also felt that the name was not familiar to her.

The butler told her that Xiao Chen was the young master of the Xiao family and that the old master of the Xiao family was once close with Mo Yu’s great grandfather.

But Mo Yu was not at home, so Fang Liu, the young madam of the house, took charge. Since someone had come to visit, Fan Liu naturally could not ignore that person. She prepared some tea and asked the servants to invite Xiao Chen into the house.

When Fang Liu saw Xiao Chen, she was stunned.

She thought that he was good-looking. Xiao Chen was as mysterious as the bright moon in the night sky yet noble like a King..
