You are all bad women! Don't come over!

"Caiyu, what are you talking about?"

Due to Yuncui's soft voice, Shen Mochen had not heard her clearly.

"Hehe, it's nothing!" Yuncui chuckled. "How are you dealing with Catherine? I think if she has conflicts with her parents, it's better to communicate properly. I'll go and talk to her on Monday!"

"There's no need, her family's situation is kind of complicated, because they are nobility, it's different from us common folks, many conflicts are irreconcilable…" Shen Mochen instinctively objected, thinking of Catherine's lonely expression and couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, she's quite pitiable too. I heard she has to go on an arranged date next month, and the guy is coming all the way from Roman!"

Yuncui was taken aback and, after finishing washing the dishes and drying her hands, she couldn't help but feel amazed, "Oh my... Is this what it's like for all nobility?"

Shen Mochen laughed, "Ordinary people have to go on blind dates too. I'm really sorry for messing up your blind date today."

Wait a second, what does her not going on a blind date have to do with me? It's not like I bound her hands and feet... Could it be because I affected her mood, so she didn't want to go?

"It's okay, it's also because I didn't sleep well… Besides, I wasn't really keen on going on a blind date, so it's not a big deal!"

"Speaking of which, I remember you mentioned before that it was your family urging you to go on blind dates, but you…"

Yuncui, cutting up the fruit for dessert, smiled helplessly, "It's my grandma, she is really anxious. She keeps saying how she got married at sixteen, and here I am at twenty-one, soon to be unable to marry off!"

Shen Mochen also smiled, "The elderly do care about these things quite a bit. When I was back in Fengye, a grandma came to a parent-teacher meeting, insisting on taking my hand and making me her granddaughter's husband."

"Hehehe... That's because you are handsome!"

"Being handsome comes with its challenges. She was actually there for her grandson's parent-teacher meeting, and her granddaughter was only two years old! It's just outrageous!"

"Haha, to quote my grandma, 'When looking for a man, do it early or all the good ones will be taken!'"

"That can't be true, Caiyu, you are so beautiful, with such a great figure..."

Yuncui, upon hearing 'great figure,' suddenly remembered the incident of being seen naked the previous night, felt both embarrassed and annoyed. Her face turned red and, puffing up with anger, she raised the kitchen knife and glared at him threateningly, "Say that again!"

Shen Mochen instinctively stepped back and laughed, "Caiyu, you are too sensitive. Even with clothes on, it's clear that you have a great figure!"

The phrase "with clothes on" coming from Shen Mochen made Yuncui's face even hotter.

She threw the knife down and pinched Shen Mochen's face aggressively, "Ah ah... Don't say it again, forget it! Forget it! Forget it!"

"I forgot, I forgot, it's already deleted from my mind!" Shen Mochen quickly begged for mercy.

Forget it, my ass. I've got to remember last night's scene for a lifetime! he thought to himself.

"Hmph! That's more like it."

Yuncui let go resentfully, knowing that such things aren't within one's control, but sometimes you have to deceive yourself.

Shen Mochen rubbed his face, "Right, where was I... Oh, I meant to say, Caiyu, you are so pretty, and so... cough cough, gentle and virtuous. Not just now, even in twenty or thirty years, any good man would still be at your fingertips!"

"Okay, okay, try this melon and see if it's sweet. I just bought it this afternoon, and it was quite expensive."

Yuncui chuckled, ignoring the flattery and focused on cutting the apple.

Shen Mochen picked up a piece of cantaloupe from the fruit plate and tasted it, "It's quite sweet. The melon you picked out is good!"

While saying that, he picked up another piece and held it out to Yuncui, "Do you want to try?"

Yuncui, not looking up, opened her mouth and ate the offered piece of melon.

"Ah, I ended up sucking on his finger..." Yuncui thought to herself.

She felt a bit ashamed, thinking, "I hope Shen Mochen doesn't think I did it on purpose, taking advantage of him because he's handsome now. But it wasn't intentional, what if he misunderstands... Ahh, this is so embarrassing!"

Unexpectedly, Yuncui recalled those sneaky little videos she had watched with Xia Qingrou, videos where the man would stick his finger into the woman's mouth.

Wait a minute, maybe Shen Mochen did it on purpose... Ah, but why isn't he washing his hands before continuing to eat fruit, even licking his fingers...

As Yuncui stealthily watched Shen Mochen eat the fruit, her mind was tangled in knots. Lost in her thoughts, she accidentally cut her own hand with the knife.

"Ah!" Yuncui cried out in surprise.

"What happened?"

Shen Mochen turned to look and saw blood seeping from the joint of Yuncui's finger.

"Are you..."

"I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Shen Mochen hadn't finished speaking when Yuncui quickly waved her hands, thinking to herself how mortifying this was!

"Could you get me the first aid kit, it's under the TV."

Yuncui rinsed the blood off her hand, too embarrassed to raise her head.

Shen Mochen promptly brought the first aid kit, took out hydrogen peroxide and band-aids, and carefully treated Yuncui's wound.

He seemed very practiced, yet he was exceedingly gentle, cradling Yuncui's hand and tenderly wrapping her wound.

After attending to Yuncui's injury, Shen Mochen looked at the half-cut apple, "Let me finish cutting it."

With her face reddening, Yuncui spoke earnestly, "There's no need, knives are dangerous, don't hurt yourself." Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire

"I usually live alone, so I cook a bit, I know how to use a knife!"

Inside, Shen Mochen thought although you are a Buque, you probably aren't as good with knives as I am. Back in the day, wielding a watermelon knife, I fought from the south to the north, hacked from the east to the west, I feared no one but Xiaolian!

He expertly sliced the fruit, completely unaware of Yuncui's previous dilemma. It was second nature to him, Yin Caiyu would do similar things when she was at home.

When he was cutting fruit or cooking, Yin Caiyu would often come over, enticed by the smell, and he would feed her a piece right to her mouth. His fingers touching her lips was common, and it became a habit over time, something not to be overthought.

Seeing Shen Mochen using the knife so skillfully, Yuncui felt even more ashamed. She was supposed to be taking care of him, yet she made a fool of herself in front of him!

But he really does look good... slicing... No, everything he does is attractive.@@novelbin@@

Thinking about it, since he and Catherine aren't in a relationship... does that mean he doesn't like Catherine, but likes me?

But I'm supposed to be taking care of him, and I owe him... But what if he wants me for himself?

No, no! I'm his sister, how can I have such wild thoughts!

Plus, he's still young, though next week he'll turn eighteen and could technically get married... Ahh! What am I thinking about, his marriage is none of my business, stop fantasizing Yuncui, isn't it shameful to lust after your own brother!

I definitely must go on a blind date next weekend!

Yuncui pledged to herself, feeling both embarrassed and indignant.
