Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mo Shenbai’s hoarse voice rang from the other end of the line. “Are you out with Zhiyun?”
“Zhiyun has already told you. Why are you still asking?” Xu Youyou said in a low voice. She had a soft voice so when she spoke in a low tone, she sounded rather flirtatious.
“If it weren’t for Zhiyun telling about it, you wouldn’t have told you were bullied, right?” Mo Shenbai asked. His voice carried a hint of disapproval.
“I wasn’t bullied,” Xu Youyou protested. She did not think much of what had happened earlier. She said, “It’s not like I suffered a loss. She’s rich so it’s natural that she enjoys special treatnt.”
Compared to what Xu Youyou had experienced in the past, this matter was nothing.
“However, you have a boyfriend who’s richer than her,” Mo Shenbai said, “Your boyfriend’s money can let you do whatever you want in Mo City.”
Xu Youyou was amused by Mo Shenbai’s words. She said, “I’m very simple. There are not many things I want to do. Don’t waste money next ti. It was just a shirt.”
Xu Youyou was not interested in luxury brands, but she knew that to obtain a VVIP of a luxury brand, Mo Shenbai must have spent a lot of money.
“It’s not just a shirt. It’s your gift to ,” Mo Shenbai said stubbornly in a cold voice. How could he allow sothing that Xu Youyou had personally selected for him to be snatched away and given to another man?
Xu Youyou’s heart fluttered upon hearing his words. She said gently, “Alright. But, now that you know about the gift, it’s no longer a surprise.”
Mo Shenbai said coaxingly, “I don’t need a surprise. Instead, you should think about your surprise….”
“I don’t need a surprise either,” Xu Youyou said with a sweet smile, “All I want is for you to co back as soon as you’re done with your work.”
“Miss ?” Mo Shenbai was very good at reading between the lines of Xu Youyou’s words. Although the word ‘miss’ was not ntioned at all, each of her words expressed how much she missed him.
Xu Youyou did not deny it. “Mmm…”
Mo Shenbai could contain his delight. He said, “Thanks to you, my work went very well… So I’ll be back early…”
‘Thanks to ?’
Before Xu Youyou could ask further, she heard Pei Chuan’s voice from Mo Shenbai’s side, reminding Mo Shenbai that it was almost ti. Knowing that he was busy, she said, “Alright, get to work. Zhiyun and I are leaving as well…”
Mo Shenbai did not seem like he intended to end the call. “Mmm. Since you miss so much, rember to dream of tonight.”
“Alright! Get back to work!” Xu Youyou said, giggling at how mushy he was. At the sa ti, she thought that she must not dream of him. She had dreamt of him twice so far. In one instance, he died, and in the other instance was when she was in H City. Who knew what kind of ominous or embarrassing things would happen the third ti?
Alas, who knew if Xu Youyou could escape from Murphy’s Law? The more she did not want to dream of Mo Shenbai, the likelier it was that she would dream of him.
After ending the call, Xu Youyou turned around. She saw the woman from the store earlier. The woman stared at her aningfully with a cold expression on her face before she left.
Mo Zhiyun walked over and asked, “You’re done talking to my brother?”
“I can’t believe you reported such a small matter to Mr. Bai,” Xu Youyou said helplessly.
“How can this be considered a small matter?” Mo Zhiyun said seriously, “You’re the wife of the Chairman of Mo Group! You’re the mistress of the Mo family! If you let people bully you with money, you’re also tarnishing my brother’s reputation!”
“Is that so?” Xu Youyou did not understand the minds of the wealthy at all.
Mo Zhiyun nodded fiercely. “That’s why you must use the aura that cos with being the mistress of the Mo family and crush everyone! Isn’t it just a competition of wealth? Who can be richer than my brother in the city?”
Xu Youyou did not know what kind of aura the mistress of the Mo family should have, but Mo Zhiyun’s words reminded her of the dramas between wealthy families in a Hong Kong show. Just thinking about it made her laugh.
…
After asking around, Mo Zhiyun found out that Lu Heiyun liked white so she decided to give him the white shirt that she bought.
Lu Heyun was unsurprisingly unwilling to accept the shirt, but Mo Zhiyun was very insistent and found all kinds of reasons for him to accept it. She even went as far as to say that she really wanted to go to the escape room and that she was afraid she would not be able to solve the puzzle to escape. She invited him to go with her and said that if they could escape the room in an hour, the shirt could be considered a gift in return.
Lu Heyun found it difficult to reject Mo Zhiyun, seeing how persistent she was. Hence, he agreed.
Mo Zhiyun was afraid that it would be too awkward if it was just the two of them so she invited Xu Youyou and Su Lanxu along.
The escape room was the sa one that Xu Youyou went to when she was trying to pursue Mo Shenbai.
In order to avoid being the third wheel, Xu Youyou and Su Lanxu tead up to search for clues, leaving Mo Zhiyun to be with Lu Heyun.
Every ti Lu Heiyun found a clue or solved a puzzle, Mo Zhiyun would look at him with eyes brimming with admiration. Without even thinking, words of praise would flow out of her mouth. Amazingly, despite the number of tis she praised him, each of her praises was unique and not repeated.
Su Lanxu said in a hushed voice, “Why is my life so bitter? I helped you pursue Mo Shenbai back then, and now, I’m helping Mo Zhiyun to pursue Lu Heyun! Just because I’m single, do I have to suffer like this?”
Since there were two side missions, Xu Youyou and Su Lanxu were responsible for completing one, leaving the other one to Lu Heiyun and Mo Zhiyun. This way, Lu Heyun and Mo Zhiyun would be together the entire ti. A single man and single woman together in such a dark and terrifying place could easily create sparks of love.
Xu Youyou said in an attempt to console Su Lanxu, “Think about it this way. This ans you’ve helped matchmake two couples. Perhaps, the third ti will be your turn. Third ti’s the charm!”
Su Lanxu pouted. “I hope so! Otherwise, I’d be seeing this terrifying ghost in here twice for nothing!”
With Lu Heyun, the top student, around, they escaped from the room in less than an hour.
Mo Zhiyun looked at Lu Heyun in admiration and said excitedly, “Senior Lu, you’re too amazing!”
Lu Heyun seed embarrassed by Mo Zhiyun’s praise. He chuckled and said, “You’re also very brave. You’re the bravest girl I’ve ever t.”
“Really?” Mo Zhiyun’s cheeks turned red.
Su Lanxu nudge Mo Zhiyun discreetly and said in a hushed voice, “Control yourself…”
‘Otherwise, you’re going to scare this handso young man away…’
Mo Zhiyun pursed her lips. She did not think there was anything wrong with her actions or words. She only looked at Lu Heyun with hearts in her almond-shaped eyes.
“What are we going to do next?” Xu Youyou asked when she saw that it was still early. There was still so ti left before dinner ti.
“I still want to play,” Mo Zhiyun said, unwilling to part with Lu Heyun so soon.
Su Lanxu quickly pressed her hand against her chest and said, “I can’t do it anymore. It’s too scary. I need to go to the bathroom. You guys have fun!”
“I’m not going either. Senior, why don’t you accompany Zhiyun? I saw an art gallery over there so I want to have a look,” Xu Youyou said. She understood Mo Zhiyun’s heart and was very willing to help Mo Zhiyun fulfill her wishes.
Mo Zhiyun looked at the young man in front of her expectantly.
Lu Heyun looked at Mo Zhiyun’s bright and expectant eyes. Perhaps, he could not bear to refuse so he nodded in agreent.
Mo Zhiyun hugged Lu Heyun’s arm excitedly. “Thank you, Senior Lu! You’re the best!”
Lu Heyun brought his phone out to book another session.
Mo Zhiyun was reluctant to let Lu Heyun spend money. She did not know how many days he would have to work just to earn that money back. Hence, she said, “Let book it.”
“You booked it earlier so let book it this ti. Otherwise, I won’t go in,” Lu Heyun said. His attitude was very firm.
Seeing this, Mo Zhiyun could only helplessly agree. She said, “Then, I’ll treat you to a al later. Don’t argue with about it. Moreover, Youyou and Lanlan are my friends. So we can’t take advantage of you!”
Although Lu Heyun was determined, he was not unyielding. He said, “Alright. I’ll treat you alone next ti.”
Mo Zhiyun thought to herself, ‘I hope there’ll be many more next ti…’
