Chapter 267: You Can’t Look!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Youyou looked at the fireworks and the words flashing at the building outside as she covered her face, trying to stop her tears from falling. The fireworks made her eyes even brighter at this moment. The expression on her delicate face was one of joy.

Mo Shenbai rose to his feet and pulled her to the empty seat next to his so she could have a better look.

She leaned against the window and stared at the scene unblinkingly. “It’s so beautiful…”

“Do you like it?” Mo Shenbai asked in a deep voice.

Xu Youyou nodded without hesitation. “I like it! It’s really beautiful…”

Apart from major occasions, fireworks displays in Mo City were rare.

Mo Shenbai reached out and hugged her. He lowered his head and whispered into her ear, “Happy birthday, my little treasure.”

Mo Shenbai’s warm breath made Xu Youyou’s body weak. Her voice was slightly breathless as she said, “You… why are you calling me ‘little treasure’?”

Only Su Lanxu would call her that occasionally.

Mo Shenbai laughed softly. “You don’t like it when I call you that?”

“I...?like it!” Xu Youyou said with a red face. His voice was pleasant when he said the words ‘little treasure’. It was romantic, and it stirred up a slight wave in her heart.

Mo Shenbai reached up to touch her face before he kissed her gently. After a moment, he deepened the kiss. In the end, he forced himself not to overdo it and pulled away. His eyes shone with desire and warmth as he looked at her and asked, “My little treasure, are you happy?”

Xu Youyou’s eyes were bright and seductive as she nodded slightly. Although she was sad that Su Lanxu was not around, she was very happy that he was by her side.

Mo Shenbai lowered his head and whispered again, “Then, shouldn’t you also make me happy, hmm?”

Xu Youyou knew what he meant immediately. She lowered her head shyly as she said, “Okay…”

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and no stars could be seen.

Fu Jianchen sat in the car and dialed Xu Youyou’s number. His calls went unanswered. He looked at the beautifully wrapped gift on the passenger seat with a slightly annoyed expression before he looked at the entrance of Moon Pavilion.

Fu Jianchen rang the doorbell two hours ago. The butler said that Xu Youyou was not home.

‘If she’s not at home, where did she go? Is she celebrating her birthday with that person?’

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Why did he come here to look for trouble? He put out the cigarette between his fingers, and just as he was about to start the car, a streak of light shone into his car before a Bentley sped past him.

The car stopped at the entrance of Moon Pavilion. The window was down so he could vaguely see two people in the backseat cuddling.

In less than a minute, the car drove in after the gates opened.

Then, the black gates slowly closed, as though it was isolating the outside world.

Fu Jianchen pursed his lips unhappily, feeling like the biggest fool in the world. He knew she was married, and he knew she was married to that person, and yet, he still could not help himself. He could not help but want to see her. He had waited for her for a few hours just so he could give her a birthday present.

After a while, Fu Jianchen got out of the car and opened the passenger door. He took out the present and walked to the side of the entrance. He did not hesitate as he threw the present into the trash can. Then, he turned around and left.

He did not drive very far when it began to drizzle. It did not take long for the light drizzle to turn into heavy rain.

The sound of the rain hitting the window sounded desolate.

Fu Jianchen looked at the raindrops on the window with pursed lips. His eyes were dark. After five minutes, he still could not help but turn back and drove to Moon Pavilion. He got out of the car and ran out into the pouring rain without an umbrella. He picked up his soaked present from the trash can. He wiped the present with his hands, but seeing that it did not help, he took off his coat and wrapped it around the present before he hurried into his car.

Although it was just a few minutes, Fu Jianchen’s clothes were wet, and water was dripping from the tips of his hair.

He tore open the present, revealing a painting of a girl in a simple dress. The girl had a cute baby face and was smiling sweetly.

His dark gaze gradually turned gentle as he muttered to himself, “There are so many people in the world. Why did you marry him?”

No matter who Xu Youyou married, Fu Jianchen was confident he would be able to win Xu Youyou’s heart. However, she just had to marry that one person whom he was not confident about facing.

After a while, Fu Jianchen’s expression turned gloomy again. His expression was even stormier than the storm outside. He took a cigarette out and lit it up, puffing out smoke.

It was raining and storming outside, but it was peaceful in the room.

Xu Youyou sat on the bed to dry her hair after taking a shower. She could hear the sound of running water from the bathroom; Mo Shenbai was showering.

When Mo Shenbai came out of the bathroom, Xu Youyou’s hair was already half-dry.

Mo Shenbai was topless. A towel was wrapped around his waist, revealing his abs and graceful neck.

Xu Youyou looked at him and asked, “Why aren’t you wearing your pajamas?”

Mo Shenbai walked over as he said, “What for? I’ll have to take them off again anyway. Why bother?”

Xu Youyou’s face turned red. She pouted and said, “You’re really shameless.”

Mo Shenbai did not refute her. He placed his large hand on her head before sliding it down to her neck.

The rough touch from his fingertips caused Xu Youyou to tremble. Then, she thought of something and quickly changed the topic. “That’s right! I still?have opened the gift from Lanlan.”

Mo Shenbai frowned. Before he could speak, Xu Youyou got out of bed and ran toward the closet to take out the gift from Su Lanxu. Then, she ran back and sat cross-legged on the bed.

“Do you want to guess what Lanlan gave me?” Xu Youyou asked.

Mo Shenbai had no interest in Su Lanxu’s gift. He stared at her unblinkingly.

Xu Youyou snorted. “Forget it. I’ll see for myself.”

She untied the ribbon before she tore the pink wrapping paper eagerly. However, her expression froze immediately when she saw the gift.

Mo Shenbai, who originally was uninterested, saw the expression on Xu Youyou’s face, and his interest was piqued immediately.

Before Mo Shenbai could look, Xu Youyou hurriedly tried to hide the box and said, “You can’t look!”

However, Mo Shenbai was faster than her. He reached for the box and brought the clothes inside the box.

The clothes did not have much weight. It was made of sheer pink lace.

Xu Youyou’s face was so red that it looked as though blood was going to seep out at any moment. She was so embarrassed that she wished the ground would open up and swallow her whole. She stammered, “I, I don’t know why Lanlan gave this to me… I’m, I’m going to throw it away!”

The frown on Mo Shenbai’s face eased when he saw the thing in his hand. He said, “Put it on.”

Xu Youyou: “...”

‘No! I should’ve known you’d be like this!’
