ALL NOVEL Chapter 43
Chapter 43: Mo Shenbai? Dirty?
Lin Yin’s gaze swept past Su Lanxu and landed on Xu Youyou. He said with a smile, “Youyou, I came to celebrate your birthday.”
Then, Lin Yin raised his hand and handed the shopping bag from a jewelry brand to her.
Su Lanxu sneered as she said mockingly, “I’ve never seen you so eager to celebrate Youyou’s birthday before. Why are you so enthusiastic this year? Are you feeling guilty or do you have ulterior motives?”
Lin Yin looked at Su Lanxu and said, “Su Lanxu, today is Youyou’s birthday so I don’t want to quarrel with you.”
“I don’t want to quarrel with you either. I reserved this room tonight so I have the right to tell you that you’re not welcome here.” Su Lanxu said arrogantly as she lifted her chin slightly.
Lin Yin did not move. Instead, he looked at Xu Youyou, who was standing behind Su Lanxu.
Su Lanxu said impatiently, “If you don’t leave me now, I’m going to call security.”
Xu Youyou tugged at the hem of Su Lanxu’s shirt. “Lanlan…”
Su Lanxu said gently, “Don’t worry. With me around, he won’t be able to bully you.”
Xu Youyou smiled. “He won’t be able to bully me. Let me talk to him.”
Su Lanxu was worried, but she could not say no to Xu Youyou. Finally, she moved to the side and sat on the couch. She crossed her arms and glared at Lin Yin with her almond-shaped eyes. If he dared to act inappropriately, she would pounce immediately.
A smile appeared on Lin Yin’s face when he saw that Xu Youyou was willing to speak to him. He said, “Happy birthday, Youyou.”
Xu Youyou took two steps toward him before she said, “Thank you.”
Despite her words, Xu Youyou did not accept Lin Yin’s gift.
Lin Yin raised his hand again, gesturing to her to accept the gift as he said, “I specially chose this gift for you.”
Xu Youyou did not even spare a look for the gift as she said in a low voice, “I accept your birthday wish, but I can’t accept the birthday gift.”
Lin Yin maintained his elegant and gentlemanly behavior as he said, “Youyou, are you still angry? I admit I was wrong previously. I’ll apologize to you again, okay? Don’t be angry anymore.”
If it were in the past, Xu Youyou would have quickly accepted Lin Yin’s apology and said that she was fine. However, now, she no longer wanted to do that. In the past, when she was unhappy and uncomfortable, she had to force herself to say that she was fine. She kept giving in every time and had to be tolerant all the time.
Xu Youyou said, “Lin Yin, there’s no need for you to apologize to me again. I’ve accepted your apology previously. Now that our marriage has been called off, we no longer owe each other anything.”
There was no trace of resentment or reluctance on Xu Youyou’s face. It was as though she was facing an ordinary friend.
The smile on Lin Yin’s face froze immediately. He glanced at Su Lanxu, who was sitting at the side and watching the show, before he lowered his voice and said, “Youyou, I’ve already apologized and explained the matter to you. What more do you want from me?”
Xu Youyou frowned slightly. She felt that she could not communicate with Lin Yin. It seemed like Lin Yin did not understand what she was saying at all. Perhaps, he did not want to understand what she was saying.
In the end, Xu Youyou had no choice but to use Mo Shenbai as a shield and said, “Lin Yin, I’m already married. I have a husband now. It’s really inappropriate for you to pester me like this.”
Lin Yin sneered. “Married? To that gigolo from before? You’re willing to touch that kind of man? Don’t you think it’s dirty?”
“…”
Su Lanxu looked at Lin Yin as though she was looking at a fool. ‘Is there something wrong with his brain? Mo Shenbai? Dirty?’
