Chapter 247: I’ll Let You Owe Me For Now

Perhaps, the surprised expression on Xu Youyou’s face was too cute so the unhappiness and disappointment in Mo Shenbai’s heart were quickly washed away. He pinched her cheek using moderate strength as he said, “I don’t have such an ability, but I have common sense and a little ability to deduce things.”

Xu Youyou could not tell if she was relieved or disappointed upon hearing this. She pouted her pink lips slightly before she asked, “So, are you going to help or not?”

In fact, Xu Youyou could speak to Bo Qi about this. However, she thought it was rather inappropriate. It was better to let Mo Shenbai do the talking.

“I can help you, but…”

Xu Youyou stared at him, waiting for him to continue speaking. After a moment, she asked, “Then, how do you want to be compensated?”

Mo Shenbai smiled faintly. “I remember someone still owes me a dance…”

Xu Youyou turned red from embarrassment as she stammered, “I, I’ve already learned it, but… are you sure you want to watch it now?”

It was just a dance, after all, and she had her period to use an excuse. Hence, she was not afraid even if he stared at her with burning eyes.

Mo Shenbai seemed to have thought of something. He took a deep breath before giving up. “Then, I’ll let you continue owing me for now…”

Xu Youyou’s eyes were as bright as the moon as she said, “Okay!”

She would leave future troubles for the future. Moreover, she was not afraid of the itch when she already had lice.

…

Saturday afternoon.

Xu Youyou arrived early at Blue Temptations to help Su Lanxu set up the place.

Mo Shenbai had spoken to Bo Qi in advance, and Bo Qi generously lent them the bar, not caring about the business he might lose for the night.

The staff at the bar were very nice as well, and they also helped to set up the place.

Su Lanxu wanted to help out as well, but she was stopped by Xu Youyou.

“There’s only one thing you need to do tonight. Confess to my brother, and try to win his heart!” Xu Youyou said confidently.

Su Lanxu took a deep breath and said nervously, “Youyou, I’m… I’m a little nervous…”

Su Lanxu was not afraid of arguing with Xu Jialu, but she was terrified when she thought about confessing to him. She was afraid he would look at her disdainfully and say that she was like a toad that wished to eat swan meat, laughing at her wishful thinking.

Xu Youyou placed her hands on Su Lanxu’s shoulders and cheered Su Lanxu on. “Don’t be nervous! Show your usual attitude when you’re arguing with him! If he doesn’t agree, just bite his head off!”

Su Lanxu was amused by Xu Youyou’s words. “Thank you, Youyou.”

“Think about what you’re going to say to my brother later. I’m going to continue with setting up,” Xu Youyou said, patting Su Lanxu’s shoulders.

Su Lanxu nodded. She looked at the small note in her hands. She had already written down what she wanted to say to Xu Jialu. She was afraid she would forget it so she memorized it over and over again. She had liked Xu Jialu for so many years. It was not that she did not feel sad seeing so many women come and go around him, but she just was not in the position to comment on it. Now, she only wanted to get out of this limbo. She would confess. After that, they would either be together and continue to bicker or they would go their separate ways, never to see each other again. No matter what, it would be better than the state she was currently in. She would no longer have to struggle with her secret love and go through the vicious cycle of hope and disappointment.

Xu Youyou arranged the balloons neatly in the bar.

The bar, which was usually clean and simple, was now decorated with pink balloons. There were even fairy lights flashing in all kinds of colors. Each table had a heart-shaped candle on it. The atmosphere was great.

The female lead was ready, and they were only waiting for the male lead to arrive.

…

When night fell, it took away the heat of the day. The bar was cool even without turning on the air-conditioner.

Xu Youyou brought her phone out and looked at it before she said, “Mr. Bai said that my brother has already left the company and should be arriving soon.”

The company was not far from Blue Temptations. It was only a ten-minute drive away.

Su Lanxu wore a new red dress and a pair of high heels. She paced back and forth nervously. She had applied makeup on her delicate face, making her look even more beautiful. However, a nervous and uneasy expression marred her beautiful face.

“Don’t be nervous. All of us will go upstairs later to give you privacy so you can say whatever you want to my brother later…” Xu Youyou said, trying to comfort Su Lanxu.

Nervousness could still be seen in Su Lanxu’s almond-shaped eyes, but she nodded.

Xu Youyou reached out and stroked Su Lanxu’s head, assuring Su Lanxu that she looked very beautiful tonight. She said encouragingly, “Good luck!”

Seeing that it was almost time for Xu Jialu to arrive, Xu Jialu and the staff went upstairs, making themselves scarce so they would not affect Su Lanxu’s performance.

As the moment drew closer, Su Lanxy grew even more nervous. Her fair hand reached out to touch her chest, and she could feel her heart beating wildly. It felt as though her heart was going to jump out of her chest. She closed her beautiful eyes and took a few deep breaths. She tried to calm herself down by reciting the words she wanted to say a few times.

When Su Lanxu heard the sounds of footsteps, she felt her palms sweating. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Jialu’s handsome and arrogant face.

Earlier, Xu Jialu had received a call from Bo Qi, saying that he would treat him to a drink. Since there were free drinks, it would be a waste for him to decline the invitation. Hence, he was slightly puzzled when he walked in and did not see anyone but Su Lanxu. He was even more puzzled when he saw the bar’s decoration.

Xu Jialu frowned slightly. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, his phone suddenly rang. When he glanced at the screen, he muttered to himself, “She actually took the initiative to call me? Could it be that she missed me?”

Xu Jialu did not hesitate and answered the call immediately.

Su Lanxu, who was walking toward Xu Jialu, suddenly stopped walking. It was as though her feet were nailed to the ground, and she could not move. She was a little far away so she could not hear what was said on the other end of the line, but she could vaguely hear a woman’s voice.

Meanwhile, Xu Jialu’s expression changed quickly, no longer looking arrogant like before. Instead, his voice was solemn and slightly nervous as he said, “Yun Youwei, calm down. I’m coming over right now.”

‘Yun Youwei…’

A chill instantly permeated Su Lanxu’s heart and spread to her limbs and bones. Even her fingertips were ice-cold.

After ending the call, Xu Jialu looked at Su Lanxu with a strange gaze. Then, he shifted his gaze and turned around to leave without saying another word.

“Xu, Xu Jialu!” Su Lanxu called out hoarsely. She did not know where she got the courage to call out to Xu Jialu at this moment.

Xu Jialu stopped in his tracks as a hint of impatience flashed on his handsome face. He said, “I have something urgent to attend to. If you have something to say, we can talk about it later.”

After Xu Jialu finished speaking, he did not even give Su Lanxu a chance to speak before he left in a hurry.

Su Lanxu froze. The blush she applied earlier could not hide how pale her face had become at this moment. She lowered her gaze; her long eyelashes hid the despair and sorrow in her eyes.

“I’m not going to tell you anymore. Xu Jialu, I like you. I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you. I bickered with you for so many years, pretending that I don’t like you. It’s only to cover up how much I like you… In the past, I’d be sad when I saw that you have a girlfriend. When you break up, I’d be happy again. I felt like I had hope. I know you hate me, and you meant those words you said back then, but every time you treated me a little better, I couldn’t help but forgive you, and I’d also like you more and more… I’m really pathetic…”
