Mo Yanlin was stunned. His hand reached out to touch the place his sister had just kissed and his lips twitched.
He suddenly felt like his sister was up to something again, but he didn't know what it was.
He stood up and grabbed his phone which was on the bed when he saw the light of his phone lit up.

Dai Mao jumped on the bed and grabbed her phone. "Big sister YingYing, I've already apologized, but he didn't say anything"
Liu Xiuying's soft laughter rang out from the phone. "That's good. Dai Mao deserves a kiss"
Dai Mao, upon hearing this said with a smile. "Don't forget that after your exams, you are coming to visit me"
"Of course"
Because Liu Xiuying had exams, and it was late at night, she urged Dai Mao to go to bed early so that she could wake up early the next day.

The next day, Mo Yanlin left the Mo family residence before his parents woke up. He had just gotten to his villa when his mother called.
"Mom"
"You left without eating breakfast. Are you trying to run away from me?" His mother's voice was soft and calm that made one feel comfortable in the heart.
"I have a lot to do at the company"
The woman scoffed and asked, "When are you coming back home?"
"No time"
Mo Yanlin's reply made his mother flare up. "Mo Yanlin, you rascal, are you going against your mother?"
Mo Yanlin raised his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows.
In order to force him to get married and go on blind dates, his mother had resorted to every means possible, and because of that, he ran away from home.
He was 26 this year, but had never held a girl's hand talkless of having a girlfriend which made his mother worried. As a mother, she wanted to carry her grandchild before she died and she was scared that her son would not make her wish come true.
Mo Yanlin entered the villa as he listened to his mother lamenting over the phone.
The house was elegant and exquisite. The furnishings and design of the house were very modern. It was extremely elegant, yet also exquisite in every way and low-key luxurious.
"Mom, that's not it"
"Then what?" His mother snapped at him. "Do you know that you are not getting younger anymore? Who would want to marry an old man as her husband?"
Mo Yanlin's lips were tightly pressed against each other.
As a man, he didn't like it whenever someone called him old. Whenever his mother said that, he would always retort, saying he wasn't old which always earned him a slap on the head.
In the end, Mo Yanlin only said these words, "I'm not ready for marriage"
His mother was so angry that she felt breathless. She wondered why she gave birth to a son with a low EQ.

In the afternoon.
Mo Yanlin was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a room, holding an original book in a foreign language in his hand.
He raised the corner of his eye and looked at the person across from him, who kept wiping his nose with a tissue. He had wrapped himself in a blanket and kept rubbing his red and swollen nose. His entire body exuded a feminine aura.
"Achoo" the person sneezed fiercely.
Mo Yanlin turned his head away in disgust.
"It's just a cold. Do you have to be so disgusted? You make it seem like I have an infectious disease"
Mo Yanlin turned his head to continue reading the book in his hand. He said, his voice was deep and calm, "How come you have a cold when everywhere is hot? You are weird"
The man reached out to take the thermometer at the side and put it in his mouth, biting and whining making him look annoying.
The man pursed his lips. "How do you expect me to know? I just missed you anyways"
The man was exquisite and his skin was pure white; whiter than a female skin, making those who saw him jealous. His actions were no different from a female's.
Mo Yanlin glanced at him, his expression had a hint of disdain.
"You are treating me like a stranger and not your bestie"
"Did I not come when you called me?" Mo Yanlin's expression was indifferent as he asked, "Didn't you get better yesterday? Why did your condition worsen?"
The man looked at Mo Yanlin and frowned. As if he remembered something, he slapped his palm on the bed. "Has Aunty found you a wife already?"
"I rejected all of them"
Upon hearing his words, his lips curled up into a smile. He clapped his hand and said, still smiling, "It's a good thing you rejected all of them"
Mo Yanlin looked at him, "Chaoxiao, what are you thinking of?"
Liu Chaoxiao shook his head. "Nothing, but I'm just happy that you rejected all of them. Who knows what they are after"
Liu Chaoxiao was Mo Yanlin's childhood best friend. It was said that when they were younger, Mo Yanlin, because of their age difference and height, always bullied Liu Chaoxiao. Mo Yanlin as a child hated people following him and acting clingy, but Liu Chaoxiao never stopped.
Mo Yanlin even told Liu Chaoxiao to call him brother which Liu Chaoxiao refused to. In the end, he was beaten up by Mo Yanlin.
Still, he never gave up.
In the end, Mo Yanlin gave in to his demand and accepted him to be his friend. He got used to Liu Chaoxiao following him around.
Mo Yanlin spoke up, his voice was deep and cool. "As long as I'm not ready for marriage, not even my mom can force me"
Perhaps to him, he was still young and didn't want to rush into marriage. He believed that marriage was a lifetime commitment. The moment you entered, there was no turning back.
Liu Chaoxiao felt better in his heart. When he even said he was hungry, Mo Yanlin looked at him in disdain, but still ended up cooking for him.
