Chapter 4 Mr Mo, Will You Marry Me?

• When Xu Tracey regained her footing, she looked up. What greeted her eyes was a handsome face.
• The face was chiseled, and its features were exquisite. The face belonged to a man who wore a black three-piece suit.
• After helping Xu Tracey, he quickly let go of her arm. His eyes did not linger on her as he walked toward the banquet hall.
• “Wait a minute!” Xu Tracey reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
• The man frowned slightly as his eyes flashed icily. He turned around and looked at the young woman with delicate features. Although she had makeup on and was wearing a wedding dress, it could not hide her young age. Her face was round and small, carrying a hint of childishness. In fact, she looked like she was still a minor.
• The only word that appeared in his mind when he saw her was ‘young’.
• Perhaps, Xu Tracey’s big eyes that shone with tears looked pitiful, he resisted the urge to push her hand away.
• “Thank you,” Xu Tracey said, opening her cherry-red lips. For some reason, her heart was racing in her chest, and her hand that was holding onto his sleeve felt like it was about to break out in sweat.
• “It’s fine,” the man said as he parted his thin lips slightly. He lowered his eyes and looked at the small hand that was still holding onto his sleeve before he said in a low voice, “Let go.”
• Instead of letting go, Xu Tracey tightened her grip on his sleeve. She looked at the icy expression on his face as a bold and absurd idea appeared in her mind. She asked, “Mr. Mo, will you marry me?”
• The man’s eyes widened slightly in shock. For a moment, he wondered if the person in front of him was insane.
• Xu Tracey knew how ridiculous her words sounded. The man likely thought she was a lunatic. However, she had no choice. If the wedding was canceled and her grandmother found out she had been abandoned, her grandmother definitely would not be able to bear it.
• She had already lost Lin Yin and her love; she could not lose her grandmother who loved her the most in the world. She would not allow her grandmother to leave without peace of mind.
• Xu Tracey said again, “Mr. Mo, you only need to stay married to me for a year! In exchange, I’ll save your sister!”
• The man’s heart moved upon hearing these words. His gaze turned complex as he looked at her. He asked, “Do you know me?”
• Xu Tracey licked her dry lips and nodded. “My brother is your friend. I’ve seen your photos on his phone.”
• The man was Mo Shenbai. He was the Chairman of the Mo Group, and he was also the head of the Mo family. Although he had been running the family business for ten years, he kept a very low profile. No newspapers or magazines dared to publish his photos. For this reason, not many people recognized him.
• Mo Shenbai fell silent. After a moment, he asked, “Can you really save my sister?”
• Xu Tracey’s eyes brightened as she nodded. “I never lie! If I lie, you can do whatever you want to my brother!”
• Mo Shenbai: “...”
• Meanwhile, Xu Jialu, who was in a hurry to find the best man in the world, sneezed.
• The entire place was quiet. It was softly lit by yellow lights. The duo faced each other silently. At this moment, it was as though there was some mysterious force binding them together.
• After a long time, the man only said one word, “Okay.”
• The relatives of the Lin family had heard about the cancellation of the wedding, and they were all prepared to leave. However, they did not expect to be told that the wedding would continue. With that, they returned to their seats again.
• When the wedding march sounded and the doors opened, Xu Tracey slowly walked in, holding onto a man’s arm.
• Everyone was stunned. They were not surprised that the groom had changed, but the new groom was… truly too handsome!
• Xu Tracey’s parents, similar to their relatives who were about to leave earlier, were stunned as well.
• On the other hand, Old Madam Xu rose to her feet immediately.
• Xu Tracey could sense all kinds of gazes on them. However, the expression on her delicate face remained unchanged. She looked at the extraordinarily handsome Mo Shenbai furtively from the corners of her eyes, who looked like a fallen immortal, and felt her heart skip a beat.
• She felt helpless; the man next to her was born with a face that made people unable to stay calm. In order to stay calm so the wedding would continue smoothly, she withdrew her gaze.
• Due to Old Madam Xu’s health, the wedding ceremony was very simple. There were no confessions of love or speeches.
• After a simple oath and exchanging the rings, the host said to Mo Shenbai, “You may now kiss the bride!”
• Xu Tracey and Mo Shenbai were both taken aback. When they had spoken to the host earlier, they had forgotten to tell him to omit this step.
• ‘What should we do now? Must we kiss? But it’ll be my first kiss! Grandma’s sitting in front of the stage. If we don’t kiss, will she…’
• Various thoughts raced through Xu Tracey’s mind when the man in front of her suddenly leaned down slightly. He did not remove her veil.
• Instead, he placed his warm hand against her cheek through the veil. The temperature of his hand caused her cheeks to heat up. Her eyes were wide open as she watched the man lower his head to kiss her. Her mind had gone completely blank!
• At this moment, Xu Jialu, who had just rushed back after receiving a call, witnessed this scene. His expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth. ‘F*ck! I’m going to kill you, Mo Shenbai!’
• At the Xu family house. Old Madam Xu, who was dressed in a navy Qipao, sat on the couch. Due to her illness, she looked rather emaciated. At this moment, she sized up Mo Shenbai with a profound gaze.
• Xu Tracey held her grandmother’s arm and said softly, “Grandma, I’m sorry. I can’t marry Lin Yin because the person I like…” She paused and glanced at the calm man next to her before she went all out and said, “... is Mo Shenbai.”
• The only way for her grandmother to feel at ease was to let her grandmother believe that the person she liked was Mo Shenbai.
• Old Madam Xu shifted her eyes away from Mo Shenbai and looked at Xu Tracey affectionately. Nonetheless, she still asked skeptically, “Do you really like him? When did you meet him? Why don’t I know anything about this?”
• “We’ve known each other for a long time,” Xu Tracey replied. She was afraid her grandmother would not believe her so she added, “He’s a good friend of Brother. Brother was the one who introduced us to each other. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Brother.”
• “Xu Jialu!” Old Madam Xu called out immediately. Although she was ill, her voice was filled with vigor. When she looked at Xu Jialu, her gaze was cold and piercing.
• Xu Jialu, who had been thinking of ways to kill the bast*rd Mo Shenbai, regained his senses immediately. A fawning expression appeared on his face as he called out, “Grandma…”
• “Is Tracey telling the truth?” Old Madam Xu asked.
• Xu Jialu looked at Xu Tracey meaningfully. He could see her silently pleading with her bright eyes. Naturally, he would have to help his sister. He braced himself to lie to their grandmother and said, “Yes, Grandma. I was the one who introduced them even though she and that bas*rd Lin…”
• Xu Jialu quickly stopped speaking when he realized he had misspoken. He corrected his words and said, “I know she and Lin Yin had been promised to each other, but I think it’s best to let Tracey marry someone she likes and be happy for the rest of her life. How could she be happy if she had to marry someone she doesn’t like?”
• Upon hearing this, there were no changes in Old Madam Xu’s expression. No one could tell if she bought the lie or not. She turned to Mo Shenbai and asked solemnly, “Mr. Mo, do you really like my granddaughter?”
