Lin Yin was drunk, and there were two people against him alone; needless to say, he had no room to fight back. He only lay on the ground and covered his head as he was beaten up. In just a moment, he was covered in blood.

At this time, Fu Jianchen raised his hand slightly.

The two lackeys stopped immediately. One of them asked ingratiatingly, “Young Master Chen, are you satisfied?”

Fu Jianchen did not say anything. He walked over to Lin Yin and slowly squatted down. His gaze was sinister as he looked at Lin Yin as though Lin Yin was a piece of trash.

The alley was too dark. Even if his eyes were open, Lin Yin could not see early. He could only sense that someone was in front of him, studying him. Blood dripped down the corners of his lips as he asked with great difficulty, “Who… Who are you?”

Fu Jianchen did not reply. Instead, he smiled fiendishly and said in a voice as cold as a knife, “You’re not worthy of her.”

Lin Yin did not speak.

Only the sound of breathing could be heard in the dark alley.

Fu Jianchen said again, “Go back and get a divorce if you still want your worthless life.”

Lin Yin was beaten very badly, and he was drunk. It was not surprising that he did not hear Fu Jianchen clearly.

“I don’t have much patience. Don’t make me wait for too long,” Fu Jianchen said. As he moved to stand up, he seemed to remember something. He squatted down again and added, “Don’t bully her. If you make her shed a single tear, I’ll gouge out one of your eyes.”

Then, Fu Jianchen raised his hand and viciously put out his cigarette that was about to burn out on Lin Yin’s face.

Lin Yin screamed in pain.

Alas, the alley was too remote. Although the screams echoed in the alley for a long time, no one heard them.

The moon was obscured by the clouds tonight. As such, there was no light in the alley at all. There was only darkness and silence that hid all sins.

…

Early the next morning.

Xu Youyou was woken up by the ringing of her phone.

Mo Shenbai reached over to answer the call before placing the phone against Xu Youyou’s ears.

Su Lanxu’s voice immediately rang from the other end of the line.

“Youyou! Breaking news! Lin Yin was beaten up last night and was sent to the hospital early in the morning. It’s all over the local news!”

Xu Youyou, who was originally still groggy, woke up immediately. “What?!”

“Lin Yin was beaten up!” Su Lanxu said with a hint of gloating, “The heavens finally meted out justice! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time!”

“Lin Yin was beaten up? When? Where?” Xu Youyou asked with a frown.

“It was last night. Near a bar…” Su Lanxu replied in an uncertain tone, “I’m not too sure about the details. I just saw it on the news.”

“Oh,” Xu Youyou replied. She was neither happy nor unhappy about Lin Yin getting beaten up.

However, the lack of joy on her face, in Mo Shenbai’s eyes, made it seem like she was worried about Lin Yin. Seeing that she was worried about Lin Yin and still cared about Lin Yin, his expression turned gloomy immediately.

After Xu Youyou ended the call, before she could say anything, she saw the gloomy Mo Shenbai.

“You…”

Mo Shenbai did not wait for her to finish speaking. He lifted the blanket and got out of bed immediately. He was only wearing a pair of grey drawstring pants. The lines on his muscular back and waist were distinct.

Xu Youyou could not help but gulp as she looked at him. ‘He really has a good figure…’

Mo Shenbai stopped in front of the bathroom before he said, “If you want to visit him at the hospital, go ahead. I won’t stop you.”

Then, without waiting for her reply, he walked into the bathroom.

Xu Youyou: “???”

‘Why does it seem like he means exactly the opposite of what he said? It sounded more like ‘If you dare to visit him at the hospital, I’m going to break your legs!”

Xu Youyou lifted the blanket and quickly ran to the bathroom. When she pushed the door open, she saw him brushing his teeth in front of the mirror. She still had the desire to survive so she said, “Mr. Bai, I won’t visit him at the hospital. Don’t worry.”

Mo Shenbai’s frown eased slightly, but there was still no expression on his face as he said, “Up to you.”

Xu Youyou moved to stand next to him before she looked up at him.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

After Mo Shenbai rinsed his mouth, he lowered his gaze to look at her and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”

“Are you angry at me?” Xu Youyou asked, frowning in confusion. She could not figure out why he was angry.

Instead of answering the question, he asked in return, “What do you think?”

Xu Youyou shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Mo Shenbai took a deep breath. With how slow she was, if he did not tell her, she would continue to rack her brains, and she still would not figure out what was wrong. He scoffed lightly and said, “Usually, it’s extremely difficult for me to wake you up. However, the moment you heard Lin Yin was beaten up, you woke up immediately.”

His scoff alone was radiating with jealousy.

Xu Youyou was rendered speechless by his words. After a moment, she asked in disbelief, “Mr. Bai, don’t tell me you think I’m worried about Lin Yin so you’re jealous?”

“Isn’t that the case?” Mo Shenbai said. His expression was one of disdain and annoyance. Lin Yin was not even the one who gave her the courage to live, but Lin Yin was still haunting her. He thought it was a pity that Lin Yin was not beaten to death last night.

“Why would I worry about him?” Xu Youyou hastily explained with a helpless expression, “I thought you did it so I’m worried about you…”

After all, Mo Shenbai had said last night that he wanted to put a sack over Lin Yin’s head and beat him up.

Mo Shenbai seemed stunned by her words. He looked at her skeptically and asked, “You’re worried about me?”

Xu Youyou nodded. “Of course, I’m worried about you. There are surveillance cameras everywhere outside. What if they catch you…”

Before Xu Youyou finished speaking, Mo Shenbai could no longer restrain himself. He lowered his head and kissed her passionately.

It did not take long for her face to turn red. Her thick eyelashes fluttered as she pouted her lips and asked in an aggrieved tone, “You… Don’t trust me?”

She felt slightly wronged. She trusted him so much, and yet, he did not trust her at all. She thought that love was really more fragile than paper.

Mo Shenbai’s big hand reached out and caressed the top of her head before he said, “I was wrong…”

Mo Shenbai knew he was wrong, but he could not guarantee it would not happen again next time. He could not control himself. He would feel uneasy and irritated with every member of the opposite sex who came close to Xu Youyou. He was afraid of his little sun being snatched away by others.

Xu Youyou raised her head and looked at him with sparkling eyes as her red lips curled up into a smile. “I forgive you.”

Then, she tiptoed and kissed his lips.

The smile on his lips widened immediately. “Then, are you going to visit him at the hospital?”

“…”

The corners of Xu Youyou’s lips twitched before she replied without hesitation, “No.”

Although Lin Yin still looked for her to talk nonsense, the previous incident with Lin Zhihuan had completely severed the relationship between the Xu family and the Lin family. Xu Youyou also did not want to have anything to do with the Lin family. It was only natural that she would not visit Lin Yin.

Mo Shenbai was completely relieved. His lips pressed against her cheek as he murmured, “So obedient…”

Xu Youyou glared at him. After thinking for a moment, she said, “So you didn’t do it? If so, who did? Who did he offend?”

Xu Youyou understood Lin Yin. Although Lin Yin was selfish, he was not someone who would go around provoking others and making enemies.

Mo Shenbai did not care about the culprit at all. In fact, he saw the culprit as someone who did a good deed anonymously. He raised his hand and held her chin before he said, “His matter has nothing to do with you. Don’t think about it.”

“Okay, okay.” Xu Youyou acquiesced with a helpless expression on her face. After a moment, she muttered under her breath, “Instead of calling you Mr. Bai, I should just call you Mr. Jealous.”

…

After Lin Yin was sent to the hospital, the police naturally got involved. The first people they looked for were Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai. After all, they had caught on the surveillance camera outside of Blue Temptations with Lin Yin last night.
