Chapter 21 - You're Young and Ignorant So I Don't Blame You

Chapter 21 You’re Young and Ignorant So I Don’t Blame You

Mo Shenbai stood at the door, holding a plate of fruits. His face was expressionless as he walked step by step into Xu Youyou’s room with his long legs.

Xu Youyou’s grip on her phone tightened as she looked at him horrified. Inwardly, she prayed fervently, ‘He didn’t hear anything! Please don’t let him hear anything!’

Mo Shenbai set the plate of fruits down on the round coffee table and looked at the dumbstruck Xu Youyou as he said, “You forgot to close the door. I brought you the fruits the kitchen prepared.”

“Thank, thank you,” Xu Youyou stammered.

Mo Shenbai looked down at her phone. Then, he said with a faint smile, “No need to thank me. I’m old and like to do charity.”

Xu Youyou felt as though she had been struck by lightning as her body went numb.

‘He heard it! He really heard it!’

Mo Shenbai narrowed his eyes before he turned to walk out.

Su Lanxu’s muffled voice rang out from the phone at this time. “Hello? Youyou, can you hear me? Youyou? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

Xu Youyuo had yet to regain her senses when Mo Shenbai suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her with his dark eyes. His gaze was unfathomable, making it difficult to guess what was in his mind.

“Whether a man turns into a wolf or not has nothing to do with his age,” Mo Shenbai said with a faint smile. As though he was the most magnanimous person in the world, when he looked at her, his expression seemed to say, ‘You’re young and ignorant so I don’t blame you.’

Xu Youyou: “…”

After Mo Shenbai walked out, he even thoughtfully closed the door for her.

“Youyou? Youyou, are you talking to someone?”

Xu Youyou regained her senses and said tremblingly, “Lanlan, I, I want to leave the country.”

“Huh? Where do you want to go?” Su Lanxu asked, puzzled. “Mars!”

Thanks to Su Lanxu, Xu Youyou tossed and turned in bed for two hours, filled with guilt, before she finally fell into a restless sleep. Even her dream was filled with Mo Shenbai.

In her dream, the black Bentley was traveling on the highway. Pei Chuan was driving while Mo Shenbai, who was dressed in a black suit, sat in the backseat. He was focused on reading a file in his hand.

All of a sudden, a large truck from the right lane rushed out and rammed into the side of the black Bentley. With a bang, the black Bentley rolled several times on the road. Even the doors were knocked open. Since Mo Shenbai had his seatbelt on, he was not thrown out of the car. Nonetheless, he was still injured. Blood gushed out of a wound on his forehead as he lay unconscious.

The truck did not stop. It reversed as though it intended to ram into the black Bentley again.

Meanwhile, the dream Xu Youyou stood at the side watching this, horrified. She was burning with anxiety as she shouted, “Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo, wake up! If you don’t wake up now, you’ll die!”

Mo Shenbai did not react; he was unconscious, after all. Blood had already dyed half of his face red. Even his snow-white shirt was stained with blood.

At this moment, the truck rammed into the black Bentley mercilessly again.

Bang!

“Mo Shenbai!” Xu Youyou cried out as jolted awake. She panted heavily as her forehead was dotted with beads of sweat. Even the hair at her temples was soaked. She gradually calmed down as she wiped the sweat off her face with a piece of tissue.

It had been a long time since she last had a dream like this. The last time she had such a dream was when she dreamed of saving Mo Zhiyun after Mo Zhiyun fell into the water.

Xu Youyou’s heart raced in her chest as she thought about her dream. Could it be that someone wanted to harm Mo Shenbai?
