Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Youyou quickly said, “You’re not allowed to fantasize about my Mr. Bai with other female leads!”

‘Moreover, I know the novels you read are those that have a mature rating!’

Su Lanxu held Xu Youyou’s arm and said righteously, “Don’t worry! I’ll replace the female leads’ faces with yours!”

Xu Youyou: “…”

‘Thanks, but no thanks!’

The shop assistant led them to where the shirts were displayed. She assumed Xu Youyou was buying the shirt for Mo Shenbai so she said, “These shirts are classic and neutral. They’ll never go out of style. Mrs. Mo, please have a look.”

Xu Youyou nodded before she carefully browsed the shirts. She did not pay attention to the black, white, and gray shirts. Instead, her gaze fell on a blue striped shirt. Then, she said, “This is pretty good. Please bring me one of these.”

The shop assistant was stunned. Then, she quickly smiled before she turned to get Xu Youyou a new shirt.

Su Lanxu felt that something was wrong so she said, “This doesn’t seem like Mo Shenbai’s style.”

“I’m not buying it for Mr. Bai.”

Su Lanxu’s eyes widened as she exclaimed, “No way! No way! You dare to cheat on Mo Shenbai?”

Xu Youyou: “…”

“Someone helped me before, and I dirtied his clothes. I want to buy him a shirt to compensate him.”

Su Lanxu sighed in relief. “It’s good that you’re not cheating on Mo Shenbai.” After a pause, she suddenly exclaimed, “Him? When did you have a male friend? How come I didn’t know about it?”

“The escape room we went to previously is owned by him. He also owns the art gallery next to the escape room,” Xu Youyou explained.

Su Lanxu shrugged when she heard these words. She was not very interested in the boss of the escape room and the art gallery.

At this moment, Xu Youyou’s phone vibrated. It was a message from Mo Shenbai. He was already home, and he asked her when she would return. After replying to him, she looked at Su Lanxu and smiled apologetically. “Lanlan…”

Su Lanxu rolled her eyes. “Alright, alright. I know you have to go home early to accompany your husband. I won’t compete with him. You should go home early.”

“Lanlan, you’re the best!” Xu Youyou hugged Su Lanxu happily and jumped a few times.

The shop assistant quickly wrapped up the shirt.

After paying for the shirt, Xu Youyou bade Su Lanxu farewell. She did not return to Moon Pavilion immediately. Instead, she went to the escape room.

A group of customers just left at this moment.

One of the staff members was cleaning up when she saw Xu Youyou from the corner of her eyes. Her eyes lit up as she said, “It’s you! Are you looking for my boss?”

Xu Youyou recognized the staff member. She was the manager of the escape room who gave her a change of clothes previously. She shook her head and said softly, “No. Can you do me a favor?”

“What favor?”

“Can you help me pass this to Fu Jianchen?” Xu Youyou handed the bag to her.

Not only was there a new shirt in it, but the previous shirt had also been washed.

The manager was silent for a moment before she nodded. “Alright.”

“Thank you,” Xu Youyou said, sighing in relief. Fu Jianchen did not want to see her so it was better to do it this way.

“You’re welcome,” the manager said with a smile, “Remember to visit the escape room again when you have the time!”

Xu Youyou nodded before she said goodbye and left.

After Xu Youyou left, the manager carried the bag and turned around. She saw that the door on the right was slightly ajar. She straightened her back, and her expression turned cold as she walked over.

“Since you knew she’d come to look for you, why didn’t you go out and see her?” the manager asked as she handed the bag over to him, “Here. She asked me to give this to you.”

Fu Jianchen looked into the bag before he said expressionlessly, “Throw it away.”

“These are new clothes. Are you sure you want to throw them away?” the manager asked, surprised. Then, she said, “Since you don’t want them, give them to me. Maybe my future boyfriend can wear it.”

“I asked you to throw it away so throw it away. Why do you have to spout so much nonsense?” Fu Jianchen said, annoyed and displeased.

“Oh.”

The manager tossed the bag with the shirts into the trash can before she returned to her work. At the same time, she counted inwardly, ‘Five, four, three…’

Fu Jianchen lowered his head to look at the bag in the trash can. Something flashed in his hawk-like eyes. After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked over and bent down to retrieve the bag from the trash can.

‘Two, one…’

The manager had just finished counting down when she saw Xu Jialu carrying the bag upstairs.

…

When Xu Youyou arrived at Moon Pavilion, the sun had already set in the west. The tired birds had returned to the forest, and Moon Pavilion was lit up by beautiful crystal lamps.

Mo Shenbai had already showered and dressed in a casual outfit. His hands were in his pockets as he walked downstairs.

“Mr. Bai!” Xu Youyou rushed over to him as soon as she walked in and saw him.

Mo Shenbai’s eyes turned gentle as soon as he saw her. However, when he saw her empty hands, a slight frown appeared on his face. He put his arms around her as he said calmly, “You’re back.”

“Mm…”

Seeing that the helpers were not around, Xu Youyou hugged his waist and buried her head against his chest. She said coquettishly, “I missed you so much today!”

Mo Shenbai cocked an eyebrow. He felt as though his heart had melted. “Did you really miss me?”

Xu Youyou nodded. “We spent all our time together during my vacation. I’m really not used to it now that I can’t see you as often…”

If she went abroad, she would not be able to see him every day, and she would not be able to hug him. She felt reluctant to go abroad when she thought about this. Love was indeed a stumbling block on the path of her career.

Mo Shenbai stroked her head with his big hand as he said, “I missed you too.” Then, he held her hand and led her upstairs as he pretended to ask innocently, “Was there a traffic jam on the way back? You came back so late. Are you hungry?”

“There was no traffic jam,” Xu Youyou replied honestly, “Before I came back, I went to the escape room. The boss helped me previously, and I dirtied his shirt. Hence, I bought him a new one to compensate him.”

Mo Shenbai’s eyes flashed briefly as he asked in a low voice, “The boss of the escape room? What happened?”

Xu Youyou briefly recounted what happened a few days ago.

Mo Shenbai’s expression was calm, and no emotions could be seen on his face as he asked, “So you and Su Lanxu went shopping just to buy a shirt for him?”

Since Xu Youyou went to one of the Mo Group’s malls, someone had informed him as soon as Xu Youyou arrived. He had assumed that she had gone there because of him.

“It’s not just to buy him a shirt. The main reason is to accompany Lanlan,” Xu Youyou said as she walked into the room. She put her bag down before she casually tied her long hair into a bun and said, “Oh, right. I want to ask for your help…”

“What is it?” Mo Shenbai asked indifferently. His expression was dark as well. Clearly, he was not in a good mood.

“I want to reserve Blue Temptations for a short moment this Saturday. Can you speak to Bo Qi?”

Mo Shenbai lowered his gaze and asked, “Su Lanxu plans to confess her feelings to Xu Jialu?”

Xu Youyou gasped as she looked at him with widened eyes. She asked, amazed, “Mr. Bai, don’t tell me you can read minds?”
