Chapter 10: Kissing is a way to express affection.

He patted his chest.

"I was so scared! No wonder you're so good to my baby. You scared me so much I broke out in a cold sweat."

"Is it that scary?"

"Of course, my baby is still young."

"But the baby will get married sooner or later."

"So what? We'll save every moment we can. I'll definitely find the best person for my baby."

"The best? What kind of person are you looking for?" Who could be better than him?

"Of course, he has to be a good match for my baby. I don't care about family background, but he has to be richer than me, more handsome than me, and able to take care of my baby. Oh, and he also has to know how to please me."

Mo Ziyuan smiled disdainfully. He had plenty of money, more than Lin Yi'an, and was also more handsome. He would definitely take good care of the baby. As for trying to please him, the man disdained that. They were brothers and didn't need to flatter each other.

"I just bought a new sports car in the garage, it's for you."

Lin Yi'an looked at him.

"You're so kind."

"Do you want it or not?"

"Yes, of course I'll take it if it's given to me."

Mo Ziyuan was about to leave after hearing his words.

Lin Yi'an stopped him again, pointing to the desserts on the table.

"Is this all for my baby?"

Mo Ziyuan nodded, then shook his head.

"No," he took a bite too, so it wasn't all for the baby. He even shared a spoon with the baby! How happy he was!

"How much did my baby eat?"

Not many.

"That's good. Ziyuan, let me tell you, you're not allowed to let the baby eat so many desserts."

Mo Ziyuan was somewhat surprised to hear his words; he hadn't expected Yi'an to be so strict with his younger sister.

"Okay, I'll tell her to eat less next time."

"Then you must remember this well. The baby is still young. She likes to keep eating whatever looks delicious. You need to keep an eye on her."

Lin Yi'an's words made it sound as if Mo Ziyuan was someone very important to Yi Luo, someone he needed to take care of. However, Mo Ziyuan still wanted to have some connection with the baby, so he was quite pleased.

……………

Upon arriving at the office, Mo Ziyuan had just sat down when someone made a phone call.

Shi Jingsheng: "Ziyuan."

"What's up."

"I'd like to borrow your experimental facility for a while."

"that?"

"The one closest to the west of the city."

Mo Ziyuan recalled it in his mind.

“That’s the head of the Mo family (Mo Ziyuan’s father).”

"I know, that's why I came to ask you for help."

"I won't help."

"No, I still need that experimental base to research new drugs."

"Can't we go somewhere else?"

"Do you think I don't want to? I'll just borrow it for a few months. It's the only place that's suitable... It's close to my home, and it'll be nice to visit you guys!"

This was Shi Jingsheng's original intention.

Mo Ziyuan still didn't want to help, but then he suddenly thought of something.

"Do you have 'Nightfall' where you are?"

“You mean ‘Nightfall’? Why are you interested in this kind of medicine? It’s usually Yi’an who asks me for it.”

"Stop talking nonsense, do you have it or not?"

"Yes, of course I have it. If you want it, why wouldn't I have it? It's just that the base..."

"I'll find a way to get it for you."

"Alright, I'll send someone to deliver it to you right away. By the way, you're not planning to use it on that girl you like, are you? Be careful, I have all types here, I'll provide backup for you."

Mo Ziyuan didn't want to talk to him.

"Hurry up and have someone send it to me, but don't let Yi'an know."

"Why are you keeping it a secret from Yi'an when you're playing around with something?"

Why do you talk so much?

"Alright, alright, then I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Mo. Let's have a drink sometime."

"good."

……………

When Yiluo woke up, no one was home again. She looked at the empty house and felt a little bored. She decided to go eat first.

The girl got up quite early. When she went downstairs, the housekeepers had already started tidying up, and Aunt Zhang was also cleaning up the desserts they had eaten the night before.

The girl sat on the opposite sofa, staring longingly at the discarded dessert.

"Aunt Zhang, is it really not okay to eat this?"

Aunt Zhang looked at the girl and thought, "How can she be so beautiful, so cute, and so likable?"

"No, it's been sitting overnight. If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you."

Ilo blinked her big eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering.

"Ah! Aunt Zhang, you can make desserts too."

Aunt Zhang was instantly filled with pride.

"Of course, Aunt Zhang can do everything."

"Can you make me a strawberry cake?"

Aunt Zhang also noticed that only the strawberry cake from last night's dessert was eaten a few more times.

"Alright, since you like it, Miss, I'll make it for you. But we're out of strawberries at home, so I'll have someone go and buy some."

"I'll go, I'll go buy it."

Ilo volunteered, saying that she had hardly ever left the area since she arrived.

"Alright, then thank you for your trouble, Miss. Let Xiao Chen drive you there!"

……………

The girl sat in the car, feeling a little unaccustomed to going out alone.

Xiao Chen: "Miss, where are you going?"

"I'm going to buy fruit, let's go to the supermarket."

"good."

………………

The girl wandered aimlessly through the supermarket, feeling very uneasy. Everyone around her was staring at her, and she didn't understand why. Could they please stop looking at her?!

Ilo is now filled with regret; she should have known better than to come out.

Finally, she saw the strawberries and picked them up to examine them.

My goodness, one strawberry costs over 300 yuan.

But she only had 200 yuan in her phone, so she put the strawberries down and looked at other places, but they were all so expensive. What should she do? She decided to call her brother.

On the other side, no matter how many times the girl tried to call, the call wouldn't go through.

Yi'an had just gotten home and was fast asleep; how could he possibly hear the girl's phone call?

Yi Luo thought for a long time about whether she should call her brother Zi Yuan. She wasn't very familiar with him, even though she had eaten a man's dessert last night.

She kept reassuring herself, "It's okay, my brother said he'll treat me like his own brother."

"Hello."

Mo Ziyuan remained silent. He had given the girl this number, and he knew who was on the other end.

"Is...is it Brother Ziyuan?"

The man heard what he wanted to hear, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, even his tone changed.

Those present were trembling with fear.

Why did he suddenly laugh? There shouldn't be any ghosts in broad daylight, right?

"What's wrong, Yiluo? Is there something you need from your brother?"

"Brother Ziyuan, I'm at the supermarket and I want to buy some things, but I don't have any money."

The girl seemed to hear laughter on the other end of the phone.

"You're at the supermarket. I'll come find you; I need to buy some things too."

Yi Luo was surprised that her brother Zi Yuan was also coming; she had originally wanted some money.

Mo Ziyuan was indeed hoping for a chance to go grocery shopping with his darling, and of course he wouldn't miss it.

On his way to the supermarket, the man was thinking how great his brother was, and how lucky he was that he hadn't given his baby any money, otherwise he wouldn't have had this opportunity. He completely ignored the group of people who had come to his office to deal with his business.

The girl was waiting for him at the supermarket entrance, still wearing the clothes she had brought herself—a white tutu. But this did not hide her beauty; instead, it made her appear even more innocent.

Mo Ziyuan had already noticed that many people passing by were staring at the girl.

Suddenly a man walked towards the girl. People who came to this supermarket were all rich and powerful, so the man's clothes were not cheap either.

He looked at the girl's clothes. Although they were brand-name items, they had lost their former exquisiteness and beauty after several washes.

"Hi, miss, can we get to know each other?"

Ilo was a little scared. She didn't know this man, and of course, she didn't want to. The girl clearly didn't want to greet the man, but he still wouldn't let it go.

"Let's get to know each other. What are you doing here? Are you waiting for someone? It's about to rain. How about I take you home? Don't worry, I just want to make friends with you."

The girl turned around, facing the other side, a move that made the man laugh. How cute! He had been smitten with her from the first moment he saw her. She was so beautiful, standing there with her handbag in hand, like a delicate doll in a closet.

"Miss, I'm a student at Austin International College. I won't do anything bad. I just want to get to know you. Has no one ever told you that you look like a doll?"

Before the man could say anything more, Mo Ziyuan walked over and spoke.

"Don't you understand that she doesn't want to know you?"

Upon seeing the person approaching, Yiluo quickly ran over, threw herself into the man's arms, and whispered her name.

"elder brother."

Although the voice was soft, both people present heard it.

The man hadn't expected that the girl was not only beautiful, but also had a lovely, soft voice.

This lunge not only landed him in the man's arms but also into Mo Ziyuan's heart.

Mo Ziyuan tried hard to control his heartbeat, "Please don't scare the baby, please don't."

Although the man liked him, he couldn't say anything more when he saw the man's family had arrived, and besides, the man's aura was not something he could afford to offend.

"Then I'll be going now, miss. See you next time if you have the chance."

After everyone left, Mo Ziyuan found that the girl was still in his arms and refused to come out.

He tugged at the girl, and she was easily pulled away.

Mo Ziyuan immediately noticed that the girl's eyes were red and filled with tears. He really hadn't expected Yi Luo to cry.

He chuckled softly. "My baby is so timid, what will he do when he goes to school?"

Ilo noticed the man was laughing at her and quickly wiped away her tears.

He tried to cover up his mistake by saying, "I didn't cry."

"Oh, you didn't cry? I think so too."

After the girl calmed down, she turned around and left. Mo Ziyuan quickly walked a few steps to catch up.

"Come on, let your brother take you shopping."

Ilo went straight to the place that sells strawberries.

"I want to buy this."

Mo Ziyuan glanced at them, then took a few boxes and put them in the shopping cart.

Is that enough?

The girl didn't know if it was enough.

Mo Ziyuan then took a few more boxes.

"That's enough, that's enough, this is very expensive."

The man patted her head.

"Your brother has enough money to support you. You can eat as much as you want. Do you need anything else?"

Upon hearing this, Ilo stopped being polite.

"I also want to eat mangoes, and...and..."

She was having trouble choosing.

Mo Ziyuan gave her an even better option, picking out some of the fruit in front of her and putting it in.

Ilo tried to stop him.

"There's too much of this; we won't be able to finish it."

"No, we'll eat slowly. If we can't finish, we can share some with Aunt Zhang."

The girl felt relieved after hearing this.

"Want some snacks? I'll buy you some."

"Okay, okay!" She's hardly ever eaten snacks.

On the way to the snack shop, a large crowd appeared. Mo Ziyuan immediately took the girl's hand. She was a little uncomfortable at first, but quickly got used to it and even held the man's hand in return.

Suddenly, a couple appeared before them, kissing passionately.

Ilo looked intently, then suddenly asked a question.

"Brother, what are they doing?"

Mo Ziyuan really didn't expect that the girl didn't even know this.

It's not the girl's fault. She had always lived in the apartment and could only see her teacher and nanny. The nanny was just taking care of her diligently, but no one taught her these things.

"They are kissing."

"Why are you kissing me?"

Mo Ziyuan really wanted to coax her, the beast inside him roaring incessantly.

He thought it was wonderful that the baby was like this, like a blank sheet of paper, which he could personally paint with colors and teach her everything. Those colors belonged to Mo Ziyuan.

"Kissing is used to express affection, but you can only kiss one person."

Ilo raised his own questions.

"Can I kiss GG?"

"No, you two are related by blood. You can express your affection without these things."

"Then, Brother Ziyuan, can it be the two of us?" Besides her brother, her favorite person was Brother Ziyuan, who was very gentle.

Mo Ziyuan really wanted to tell her it was possible, but obviously it wasn't, so he chose to remain silent.

Let's buy some snacks first!

The girl was overwhelmed by the colorful array of snacks in front of her. She looked at Mo Ziyuan expectantly, hoping that he would take a little of everything, just like before.

But the man did not live up to her expectations at all.

"Eating too many snacks is bad for you, so we can only buy a few."

At this moment, Ilo really wished she had a lot of money so she could buy a lot of things.

She randomly picked out a few nice-looking items and put them in her shopping cart. As Mo Ziyuan watched the girl's retreating figure, many thoughts began to form in his mind.

She's so well-behaved, so very well-behaved. She must be well-behaved in other places too!

He himself never expected that he was this kind of person, even though he had never reacted to this before.

"Brother, we should go."

Mo Ziyuan quickly came to his senses.

"good."

The man paid the bill, and Ilo looked at the long bill with so many zeros. Good heavens, it's so expensive. If she sold herself, could she afford it? The girl had clearly underestimated herself.

Once she stepped out of the garage, the girl realized it was raining outside.
