Xu Youyou replied, “I don’t have a preference…”
However, Xu Youyou looked at Mo Shenbai’s distinct facial features and thought to herself, ‘It’d be nice to have a miniature version of Mr. Bai…’
With this, Xu Youyou said, “I think I’d like to have a son. Then, there’ll be two people protecting me in the future…”
Mo Shenbai held her hand. His gaze was affectionate and gentle as he said, “I want a daughter. A daughter like you.”
Xu Youyou pouted. “Fathers love their daughters the most. Why should I give birth to a rival for myself?”
‘If we have a daughter in the future, he’ll definitely love our daughter more than he loves me!’
Mo Shenbai smiled. He poked her cheek as he said, “You’re jealous…”
Xu Youyou only scoffed in response.
Mo Shenbai lowered his head and kissed her lip lightly before he said, “I promise that even if we have a daughter, you’ll still be number one.”
Xu Youyou’s face was slightly warm. She looked at Cang Ming, who was driving, furtively before she glared at Mo Shenbai silently.
…
Friday.
Xu Youyou did not return to Moon Pavilion after classes. Instead, she went to a hotpot restaurant. Su Lanxu had invited her out, and she had already informed Mo Shenbai about it in advance.
The hotpot restaurant was rather famous so it was very busy. Fortunately, Su Lanxu had reserved a private room so they did not have to wait.
When Xu Youyou entered the private room, Su Lanxu was already waiting for her.
Su Lanxu had already ordered a few dishes and two glasses of milk tea.
Xu Youyou said worriedly, “You haven’t been attending classes recently… You seem to have lost a lot of weight as well.”
Su Lanxu smiled. “Before this, I always complained about being unable to lose weight. I’m quite happy now that I’m finally able to lose weight.”
“Lanlan, actually…”
Su Lanxu seemed to know what Xu Youyou was going to say so she quickly interjected, “Here, this is for you.”
Su Lanxu brought out a beautifully wrapped gift from the seat next to her and handed it to Xu Youyou.
“What is it?”
“Your birthday is in a few days. I’m giving you your present in advance,” Su Lanxu said. Seeing that Xu Youyou did not reach out for the present, she placed it in front of Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou looked at Su Lanxu in confusion. “Why are you giving me my present in advance?”
Su Lanxu smiled. She took a sip of her milk tea before she said calmly, “I’ve already applied to withdraw from the university. I’ve already bought a plane ticket, and I’ll be leaving tomorrow. I won’t be able to celebrate your birthday with you. I’m sorry.”
Xu Youyou was stunned. “You’re going abroad?”
Su Lanxu nodded. “You know that my parents are staying abroad. They really want me to go over. Previously, I didn’t agree since I can’t get used to foreign food. Now, I think I should go over to accompany them.”
Xu Youyou naturally did not believe Su Lanxu was only going abroad to accompany her parents. Otherwise, Su Lanxu would have gone abroad a long time ago. She asked, “Is this because of my brother?”
Su Lanxu’s smile froze for a moment. After a few seconds, she adjusted her expression and said, “Youyou, I’ve already let go of that matter. That’s why I decided to look for my parents. In any case, I don’t want to know anything about him in the future.”
In the past, Su Lanxu did not want to go abroad because she could not bear to part with Xu Jialu. However, now, she wanted nothing more than to let go and forget about Xu Jialu. The best way was to leave, never to see him or hear about him again. As time passed, she believed her feelings for him would fade and that the wound in her heart would also heal. Time was the best healer, after all.
“Although my brother said he wanted to marry Yun Youwei, it’s not because he likes her…”
Before Xu Youyou could finish her words, Su Lanxu said, “It doesn’t matter because he doesn’t like me either, right?”
Xu Youyou could not refute these words.
Su Lanxu’s smile carried a hint of sorrow as she said, “Youyou, feelings can’t be forced…”
This time, Su Lanxu had really given up on Xu Jialu. She would not give him even the smallest chance to hurt her.
Seeing that Su Lanxu had made up her mind, Xu Youyou could only swallow the words hanging at the tip of her tongue. Instead, she said, “Alright then! I wish you a safe journey, and I wish that you’ll obtain everything you wish for!”
Then, Xu Youyou toasted Su Lanxu with her glass of milk tea.
“Thank you,” Su Lanxu said, clinking glasses with Xu Youyou, “Don’t worry. I won’t forget you even if there are many handsome foreigners abroad! I’ll video call you and send you messages every day.!”
“You better! If you dare to forget me, I’ll tell Cang Ming to kidnap you back!”
Upon hearing Cang Ming’s name, the corners of Su Lanxu’s lip twitched. She still did not forget Cang Ming’s direct manner of asking for compensation. She quickly said, “No, no! Don’t do that!”
After the waiter served the dishes, the duo chatted happily as they ate.
When Xu Youyou mentioned going abroad as well, Su Lanxu advised her to speak to Mo Shenbai about it as soon as possible to avoid misunderstandings.
Their meal lasted for two hours.
When Mo Shenbai got off work, he came over to pick Xu Youyou up. When he entered the private room, he saw two people slumped over the table. He saw his cute girlfriend’s little round belly and found it extremely cute.
On the other hand, as soon as Su Lanxu saw Mo Shenbai, she quickly straightened her back and urged Xu Youyou to leave with Mo Shenbai.
Xu Youyou was reluctant to part with Su Lanxu. She said, “Then, I’ll go to the airport to send you off tomorrow.”
“No need. It’s not like I’m never coming back,” Su Lanxu gently refused Xu Youyou.
Xu Youyou pouted. “No, I must see you off! If you dare to sneak off, I’ll break up with you!”
Su Lanxu compromised and told Xu Youyou about her departure time.
Mo Shenbai swept his eyes across the messy table. There were no wine bottles. Then, he said out of politeness, “Let Cang Ming send you back.”
Su Lanxu hurriedly shook her head. “No need, no need. I didn’t drink so I can drive!”
Mo Shenbai no longer stood on ceremony. He held Xu Youyou’s hand and left.
Su Lanxu sent them off. As she looked at the couple’s backs, she thought to herself that even if she was not around, with Mo Shenbai around, no one would dare to bully Xu Youyou.
Before leaving, Su Lanxu went to pay for the food. However, she was told that Mo Shenbai had invested in the restaurant and that Mrs. Mo and her friends would not be charged for their meals.
Once again, Su Lanxu was made a witness of Xu Youyou and Mo Shenbai’s love.
…
At Moon Pavilion.
Xu Youyou sat on the bed with Su Lanxu’s present on her lap. She was sad and reluctant when she thought about Su Lanxu going abroad.
When Mo Shenbai came out of the bathroom, he saw her unhappy face. He asked, “What’s wrong? Why do you look like you’ve just broken up?”
Xu Youyou pouted. “Lanlan is going abroad! I don’t know when she’ll be back. This is the birthday present she gave me in advance.”
“Aren’t you going to open it?”
Xu Youyou thought about it for a moment and shook her head. “I’ll save it for my birthday.”
There would be no surprise if she opened it now.
Since Xu Youyou mentioned her birthday, he seized the opportunity and asked, “How do you want to celebrate your birthday? What present do you want?”
Xu Youyou hugged the pillow and shook her head. “I don’t want anything. I just want to have a meal with my friend.”
Alas, Su Lanxu was leaving. This ordinary birthday wish could not be fulfilled.
Mo Shenbai had a slight headache. Last year, it was fine because he did not know about her birthday. However, now that he knew, he naturally had to celebrate her birthday. However, he did not know what she liked.
Xu Youyou had to send Su Lanxu off the next day so she was not in the mood to fool around with Mo Shenbai at night. She went to bed early.
…
The next morning, Xu Youyou woke up early. After having breakfast, she left for the airport immediately.
Mo Shenbai was worried Xu Youyou would cry at the airport so he asked Pei Chuan to postpone the morning meeting so he could accompany her to see Su Lanxu off.
