Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Lanxu’s long hair was pulled up into a ponytail, and she wore light makeup on her face. Her luggage had already been checked in. When she saw Xu Youyou, she waved her hand that was holding her boarding pass.

Xu Youyou let go of Mo Shenbai’s hand and rushed over to hug Su Lanxu. “Lanlan!”

As soon as Xu Youyou opened her mouth, she choked up. She really could not bear to part with Su Lanxu.

Su Lanxu patted Xu Youyou’s back to comfort Xu Youyou, but her own eyes were red as well. She tried her best to suppress her reluctance to part before she said, “Don’t cry. I don’t want Mo Shenbai to dismember me.”

Xu Youyou knew Su Lanxu was joking to cheer her up. She sniffed and tried to control her sadness. Then, she reached out and took the bag in Mo Shenbai’s hand before handing it to Su Lanxu.

“I made this early in the morning. Remember to eat it.”

Su Lanxu accepted it and thanked Xu Youyou. Then, she patted Xu Youyou’s head as she said, “From now on, you have to take care of yourself when I’m not by your side. If anyone bullies you, you have to bully them back! Don’t hold it in. Don’t be stupid and let it slide, understand?”

Xu Youyou nodded. “You have to take care of yourself when you’re abroad. You have to send me messages and video call me. Most importantly, you have to tell me when you find yourself a boyfriend!”

Su Lanxu smiled and agreed. Then, she looked at Mo Shenbai as she mustered up her courage and said, “Although it’s redundant for me to say this, I still want to say that I’ll leave Youyou to you. Please take care of her.”

Mo Shenbai nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of her.”

Mo Shenbai patted Xu Youyou’s head as he looked at her affectionately.

Su Lanxu also knew with Mo Shenbai around, there was no need to worry about Xu Youyou. After taking a deep breath, she said, “Alright, I’m leaving!”

Xu Youyou’s eyes reddened again. “Lanlan, have a safe trip! Send me a message or call me when you arrive!”

Su Lanxu nodded. As she walked away, she waved again. When she saw the teary Xu Youyou, she also felt her tears threatening to spill from her eyes. Before her tears fell, she quickly turned around to hide from Xu Youyou’s eyes.

Xu Youyou could no longer suppress her sadness. She lowered her head as her tears fell, not wanting Mo Shenbai to see her cry.

How could Mo Shenbai not know that she was crying? He held her face and gently wiped her tears away as he coaxed her. “Don’t cry. I’ll accompany you in the future…”

Xu Youyou threw herself into his arms as she cried. “It’s different! Lanlan is my best friend. You’re my boyfriend… I mean, husband…”

“You finally remember that I’m your husband,” Mo Shenbai said as a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He gently caressed her cheek as he said, “You have to remember that I’m not only your boyfriend, but your husband as well…”

Xu Youyou’s heart was warmed by Mo Shenbai. Her tears gradually stopped falling.

“Why don’t you skip classes today and follow me to the company?” Mo Shenbai asked. He knew she would be in a bad mood so he wanted to be with her. There was an important meeting he had to attend so he could only suggest bringing her to the company.

Xu Youyou hesitated for a moment before she shook her head. “I better attend my classes. I don’t know if Teacher Kang will look for me.”

Mo Shenbai was slightly disappointed, but he did not force her. “Alright. Then, I’ll send you to the university.”

“Okay.” Xu Youyou nodded as they walked out of the airport. After a moment, she thought of something so she asked, “Mr. Bai, what do you think about me studying abroad?”

Mo Shenbai was very sharp. He caught the main point of her words immediately and asked, “Do you want to study abroad?”

Xu Youyou did not hide it from him. “Well, after winning the competition, I was recommended to be an exchange student. However, the duration of the exchange is a little longer than expected.”

Mo Shenbai’s expression did not change, but his eyes darkened immediately. He asked in a slightly tense voice, “Why do you want to study abroad? Is there a specific teacher whom you admire? I can help invite him or her back to the country…”

Xu Youyou frowned immediately. “Why are your actions so exaggerated?”

“I’m serious,” Mo Shenbai said seriously as he held her hand tightly, “You’re still young. It’s not safe for you to go abroad alone. If anything happens, I won’t be able to help you.”

The Mo Group was such a large company. It was impossible for him to go abroad to accompany her every day.

Xu Youyou bit her lower lip and did not say anything. She naturally could sense his disapproval and resistance.

Mo Shenbai continued to say in a tense voice, “Your parents will also worry about you going abroad. I’m serious. I’ll invite the teacher you like here.”

No matter how much it would cost, he was determined to help her.

Xu Youyou shook her head. “No need. Moreover, I haven’t agreed to anything yet. I’m still considering it.”

Mo Shenbai’s frown deepened. “You’re still going to consider it?”

Xu Youyou shook his arm and said, “This concerns my future. Of course, I have to consider it.”

Mo Shenbai lowered his gaze, concealing the darkness in his eyes. Then, he said indifferently, “Alright, then take your time to consider it.”

After saying that, Mo Shenbai got into the car first.

Xu Youyou looked at his figure and bit her lower lip, feeling uneasy. ‘Is he so opposed to me going abroad?’

…

The atmosphere in the car was heavy.

Mo Shenbai did not speak during the journey to the university.

When the car pulled to a stop in front of the university, Xu Youyou said before getting off the car, “I’m leaving now.”

Mo Shenbai looked at her and said, “Alright.”

Xu Youyou felt her heart sink slightly. Then, she turned around and walked in.

After the car door closed, Mo Shenbai instructed the driver to leave.

Xu Youyou turned to look at the car that was driving away. She pouted, feeling wronged as she muttered, “I haven’t even decided if I’m going or not, but he’s already throwing a tantrum! Stinky Mr. Bai!”

She lowered her head as she walked forward. It did not take long before she ran into a wall of flesh. She raised her head and met a dark and wicked gaze. She asked, surprised, “Fu Jianchen? Why are you here?”

Fu Jianchen did not answer her question. Instead, he stared at her and asked, “Why do you look so sullen as though you were dumped?”

“Nonsense!” Xu Youyou said, annoyed. She bypassed him and walked away.

“Xu Youyou!” Fu Jianchen called out.

Xu Youyou turned to look at him. “What?”

Due to Su Lanxu’s departure and Mo Shenbai’s anger, Xu Youyou was in a bad mood. As such, her tone was not very good.

“I’ll treat you to lunch later,” Fu Jianchen said.

“No!” Xu Youyou rejected him decisively.

Fu Jianchen frowned. Before he could ask why, Xu Youyou raised her hand with the wedding ring and said, “Married women should maintain a respectful distance from other men at all times!”

Who knew what the lunch entailed? It was better to avoid trouble and refuse Fu Jianchen’s invitation.

Fu Jianchen’s expression darkened immediately. Before he could speak, Xu Youyou ran away. Clearly, she did not want to speak to him anymore.

…

When the bell rang, signaling the end of morning classes, students rushed out toward the cafeteria.

When Xu Youyou thought about Su Lanxu and Mo Zhiyun who had both gone abroad, the cafeteria’s grilled lamb was no longer appealing to her. After packing her things, she walked out. She was Fu Jianchen leaning against a big tree with two lackeys. The two lackeys were holding a banner between them.
