‘What was she up to? Why was she searching for information related to me on the internet?’ Mo Yu was a little surprised.
Fang Liu smiled awkwardly. “Well, I was a little curious about you, so I decided to search for information about you. Young Master Mo, you’re really amazing.”
Fang Liu was a person that possessed an extremely high intellect. There were only a handful of people that she truly admired.
Hearing Fang Liu’s words, Mo Yu’s gaze softened instantly. She did care about him, after all. As it turns out, Fang Liu was secretly learning about Mo Yu even though she hadn’t called him for an entire day. Mo Yu felt that it was sweet that she was secretly learning about him.
Mo Yu bowed slightly and extended his hand to raise Fang Liu’s small and exquisite chin. His pure black pupils looked straight at Fang Liu, and his gaze was so deep that it felt like he was staring straight into Fang Liu’s soul.
“We’re already married. Instead of calling me Young Master Mo, you can call me Hubby.”
“Hubby?” Fang Liu’s face turned red in an instant. ‘No way! This is all so sudden. We’ve only known each other for less than two days. How could I call you Hubby?’
Fang Liu turned away, not daring to make eye contact with Mo Yu.
“You even took the initiative to seduce me yesterday. Why are you so shy all of a sudden?” Mo Yu had a mischievous smile on his face as though he was a hunter teasing its prey.

Fang Liu’s ears were so red that it looked like steam was about to come out of them. “I didn’t try to seduce you. It was just a coincidence. I really didn’t. You misunderstood me,” Fang Liu tried her best to explain herself.
The embarrassed expression on Fang Liu’s face made Mo Yu smile as his beautiful eyes sparkled.
However, Mo Yu did not force Fang Liu to call him Hubby. After all, there was no romance between them yet. Mo Yu had some investigating done on Fang Liu long ago. She had no romantic experiences over the years, she never even had a boyfriend, she barely even spoke to people of the opposite sex. If Mo Yu wanted Fang Liu to accept him, it wouldn’t happen overnight. Mo Yu had to be patient. A good hunter would never rush to catch its prey.

Mo Yu pinched Fang Liu’s soft cotton-like cheeks and said gently, “Alright, rest early. There will be a family banquet tomorrow. Consider it a welcome party. You are officially becoming a member of the Mo family.”
Fang Liu nodded. She pondered for a moment before she could muster up some courage and said, “Oh right, your family had promised to grant me one hundred million yuan in betrothal money. Could I please have one hundred million yuan?” Fang Liu bit her lips as she finished speaking.
Fang Liu had only just married into the Mo family, yet she has already started asking Mo Yu for money. This made Fang Liu feel ashamed, as if she had sold herself in exchange for one hundred million yuan.
Unexpectedly, when Mo Yu heard her plea, he did not show any disgust toward her. Instead, he looked at her and said, “That money was always meant for you. You have access to it whenever you want. You don’t have to ask me for permission.”
Fang Liu was speechless for a moment. After gathering her thoughts, she hurriedly said, “Thank you.”
Fang Liu’s attitude made Mo Yu feel as though the two of them were not on the same page. He did not like this feeling.
Mo Yu walked toward Fang Liu and placed his two arms on the armchair’s armrest that Fang Liu was sitting on. His shadow enveloped Fang Liu. Mo Yu’s voice was deep as he said, “You are my wife. I will support you in whatever you want to do. You don’t have to thank me. Do you understand?”
“I understand.” Fang Liu nodded. Mo Yu’s extremely handsome face magnified in front of Fang Liu. Even though Fang Liu was not sexually attracted to Mo Yu at this time, she began to feel woozy and short of breath.
On the day of the family banquet, everyone in the Mo family was busy. The servants had prepared a long table full of delicacies. It was Fang Liu’s first time attending such a formal family banquet, so she was a little nervous.
Fang Liu was officially Mo Yu’s wife. After the meeting with Grandfather Mo, Mo Yu formally became the head of the Mo family. Fang Liu was now the person with the highest status in the Mo family beside her husband and Grandfather Mo.. As such, Fang Liu must not embarrass Mo Yu.
