Chapter 48: Consider It His Birthday Present to You

When they returned to the private room in the nightclub, the originally messy private room had already been cleaned.

Xu Youyou was the first to enter the room. As soon as she stepped foot into the strangely dark room, a loud ‘pop’ rang in the air. Then, she heard a host of voices saying in unison, “Happy birthday!”

Xu Youyou was startled and instinctively retreated, bumping into Mo Shenbai.

Mo Shenbai rested his hands on her shoulder to steady Xu Youyou as his eyes swept across the men and women in the now bright room. He furrowed his eyebrows slightly as he said in a low voice, “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid.”

Xu Youyou composed herself and turned to look at Su Lanxu in confusion.

Su Lanxu’s embarrassed expression was replaced by an innocent smile as she explained, “These are my friend who came to help you celebrate your birthday.”

“Thank you,” Xu Youyou said. She finally understood why Su Lanxu had booked such a large room. As it turned out, Su Lanxu had mobilized all her friends. She looked at the people in the room. They were all from wealthy families in Mo City. She found a few of them familiar as well.

At this time, the group of people’s eyes were fixed on Mo Shenbai. The women’s gazes were particularly enthusiastic, and their cheeks were flushed red.

Xu Youyou seemed to have thought of something. She stood between the group of people and Mo Shenbai as she said in a dignified manner, “Thank you for coming to celebrate my birthday. Please make yourself comfortable and have fun.”

Xu Jialu strode in unceremoniously. He picked up a glass of wine and drained it with a gulp.

Then, Su Lanxu walked in and greeted her friends.

Xu Youyou turned to look at Mo Shenbai with a slightly worried expression as she asked, “Are you okay? If you’re not feeling well, you can return first. Don’t worry about me.”

Mo Shenbai looked at the people and the decoration in the room. Although he felt slightly uncomfortable, it was still bearable. He replied calmly, “I’m fine.”

Xu Youyou sighed in relief inwardly before she said, “Oh, right. I’ll compensate your friend for the things my brother broke later.”

Mo Shenbai reached out to the top of Xu Youyou’s head as he said, “No need.”

Thinking that Mo Shenbai was going to pat her head, Xu Youyou instinctively avoided his hand. In the end, he only picked out a piece of golden confetti from her hair. Then, he said, “You can consider it a birthday gift from him.”

Xu Youyou was stunned. Her face was burning because she had misunderstood Mo Shenbai’s intention earlier. She suppressed her embarrassment and said, “No, no. He doesn’t know me, after all.”

“He’s been very busy recently. I’ll introduce him to you when he’s free.”

“No need,” Xu Youyou said without hesitation.

The first time she came to this place, she caused the police to raid this place. The second time she came, she was the cause of a fight. Not only that, many things were broken in the private room. Even if the owner of the club did not mind, she felt very embarrassed.

Mo Shenbai saw the embarrassed expression on Xu Youyou’s face and smiled slightly.

Xu Youyou lowered her head and scratched the back of her ear awkwardly. Her eyes wandered around before they landed on Xu Jialu who was drinking without any restraints. She hurriedly walked up to him and said, “Brother, you’re injured. Don’t drink so much.”

Xu Jialu said, “This injury is nothing. Today is your birthday, and I haven’t wished you a happy birthday yet.”

Xu Youyou silently exchanged the glass of wine in Xu Jialu’s hand with a glass of juice.

Xu Jialu took back the glass of wine before he continued to say, “I wish our Little Youyou a happy birthday. You’re now 20 years old.”

“Thank you, Brother,” Xu Youyou said with a smile as she casually took the glass of wine away from her brother again and gave him a glass of juice. “Brother, you shouldn’t drink when you’re injured.”

Xu Jialu could not say no to his sister at all. He said with a sigh, “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to the birthday girl.”

After taking a sip from the glass of juice, Xu Jialu brought out a box from his pocket and handed it to Xu Youyou. “Here. This is your birthday present.”
