An hour later.

In a karaoke room.

When the door was pushed open, Xu Youyou raised her head and saw Su Lanxu.

Su Lanxu’s clothes were drenched, and her pale face and her red eyes were wet.

“Lanlan, what’s wrong?” Xu Youyou quickly rushed over and grabbed Su Lanxu’s hand. She found that Su Lanxu’s hand was frighteningly cold.

Su Lanxu did not say anything. When she looked at Xu Youyou, her tears fell silently. She hugged Xu Youyou.

Xu Youyou gently stroked Su Lanxu’s back as she asked, “Lanlan, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me. Did my brother bully you?”

At the mention of Xu Jialu, Su Lanxu’s tears fell even more fiercely than before.

The light in the room was dim so it was very easy to overlook the person sitting in the corner.

“Bring her to change her clothes first,” Mo Shenbai said. He was worried Xu Youyou would catch a cold from Su Lanxu’s wet clothes.

“Right! I brought clothes! Let’s go to the bathroom and change,” Xu Youyou hurriedly said after Mo Shenbai’s reminder.

There was a private bathroom in the room so there was no need for them to go outside.

Su Lanxu’s eyes were red. She did not say anything and allowed Xu Youyou to pull her into the bathroom.

Xu Youyou brought a towel as well. She first helped Su Lanxu to dry her hair before bringing out the clothes.

“These are new clothes. I’ve not worn them before.”

Xu Youyou helped Su Lanxu remove her wet clothes and change into the new clothes.

Suddenly, Su Lanxu raised her head and looked at Xu Youyou with lifeless eyes as she asked, “Youyou, can you drink with me?”

Xu Youyou was stunned. Previously, she had embarrassed herself in front of Mo Shenbai every time she was drunk. Hence, she tried to refrain from drinking. However, faced with Su Lanxu’s sorrowful gaze, she said without hesitation, “Okay.”

After the two women walked out of the bathroom hand in hand, Xu Youyou called the waiter over and ordered a bottle of vodka.

Mo Shenbai frowned slightly but did not stop her.

Su Lanxu quietly selected songs. Clearly, she was going to vent her emotions tonight.

Xu Youyou scooted closer to Mo Shenbai and whispered, “Mr. Bai, can you carry me home tonight?”

Mo Shenbai raised an eyebrow.

Before he could speak, Xu Youyou added shyly, “I promise you next time we… we can try a different position…”

Xu Youyou was easily embarrassed and shy. Hence, every time he wanted to try something new, she would refuse him.

“Okay.” In fact, Mo Shenbai had no intention to refuse her at all. However, since she took the initiative to propose such a thing, he naturally would not refuse.

“Thank you, Mr. Bai! You’re so nice!” Xu Youyou said. After making sure Su Lanxu was not looking at them, she quickly kissed his cheek.

Mo Shenbai leaned against the couch with a smile on his face. His eyes were like stars as he watched her back.

‘She’s really, really cute.’

…

After the waiter brought the vodka, ice, and glasses, he left.

The two young women held a microphone each in one hand and a glass in the other. They sang as they drank.

Initially, they felt slightly awkward due to Mo Shenbai’s presence so they restrained themselves. However, after three glasses of vodka, their inhibitions began to vanish, and they began to act without restraints.

Xu Youyou’s voice was sweet so she could sing most songs. However, Su Lanxu was just screaming at the top of her lungs as though she was going to tear the house down.

Mo Shenbai raised his hands and massaged his temples.

Su Lanxu had gone from singing songs about being single to love songs and sad songs. It finally ended after she sang the national anthem. Her voice was hoarse at the end, and it did not take long for her to pass out.

Xu Youyou, who had just finished another glass, performed exceptionally well tonight. She could still walk in a straight line, but her pair of eyes could not hide her inebriation at all. She called out, “Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai…”

Mo Shenbai reached out to touch her flushed cheeks. “Hmm?”

“Can you sing for me?”

Mo Shenbai lowered his gaze and said, “I don’t know how to sing.”

Mo Shenbai did not even listen to music usually.

Xu Youyou pouted, and her eyes turned red immediately, looking as though she was about to cry. She said, “You don’t love me anymore. You have another woman outside, don’t you?”

Xu Youyou looked extremely aggrieved at this moment.

“Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t have anyone apart from you.” Mo Shenbai knew she was drunk and likely could not understand his words at this moment, but he still explained to her.

“Then, sing me a song…”

Mo Shenbai: “…”

Seeing that he did not speak, tears were already threatening to spill out of her eyes. “You really don’t love me anymore. When you were in love with me, you’d do anything for me. Now that I’m Mrs. Mo, you don’t care anymore. Men are terrible! They like the new and despise the old…”

“…”

The corners of Mo Shenbai’s lips twitched slightly. Why did he not know she could also be a drama queen? Finally, he pinched her cheek gently and said, “Don’t think you can act arrogant just because you’re drunk.”

“It’s only been a short while, and you don’t love me anymore. Love is so fragile… The wind blows lightly, and it’s gone…”

Mo Shenbai reached up and massaged his temples again. After a while, he looked at her and said, “I’ll sing. If you continue to talk nonsense, I’ll teach you a lesson.”

A sweet smile appeared on Xu Youyou’s face immediately as she handed him the microphone. She looked very obedient as she said, “Mr. Bai, I love you!”

Then, she rested her chin on her hands and looked at him.

Mo Shenbai: “…”

‘This damn cuteness!’

Mo Shenbai did not usually listen to music. However, he had once heard a Cantonese song a long time ago. At that time, he thought it was not bad so he listened to it a few more times. At this time, the song surfaced in his mind. After selecting the song, he began to sing. Soon, his low and hoarse voice echoed in the room.

Xu Youyou obediently sat next to him. She had been cheering for him initially, but as soon as he began to sing, she fell silent. She thought his voice was very pleasant to the ears. It was low and mellow, and when he sang, he sounded gentler. She felt like he was a male siren that could capture people’s hearts and souls.

When Mo Shenbai sang the chorus, he turned to look at her. He was singing, but it felt like a confession.

“I can’t hide this love. It’s because my love is as deep as the sea, and it fills my heart. My love for you won’t change in this lifetime…”

Mo Shenbai’s dark gaze was tender and charming. It was like a whirlpool that pulled Xu Youyou in.

“Let my love be yours. My beloved, my love for you will remain unchanged through the ages…”

When the song finally ended, Mo Shenbai put the microphone down.

Xu Youyou rushed into his arms immediately and raised her head to kiss him.

Mo Shenbai held onto her slender waist with one hand and stroked her cheek with the other as he lowered his head to return the kiss.

Xu Youyou kissed him gently before she said flatteringly in a soft voice, “Mr. Bai, your singing is so good! It sounds divine! You’re the Beethoven of music, the Van Gogh of the art world, the Edison of inventors! You’re like God who created the world…”

Mo Shenbai could not help but laugh. His smile spoke of the purest happiness in his heart. He pinched her cheek lightly and lowered his head to give her a light kiss.

“Let me taste to see if you’ve been drinking alcohol or honey. How can your words be so sweet, hmm?”
