Half an hour later.
Xu Youyou was holding her phone that had run out of battery. She was so anxious that her face had turned red as she looked at the policemen. She said, “I’m really an adult. I’m an art student at a university. It’s true that I forgot to bring my ID card.”

The policemen sized Xu Youyou up before he said, “I understand that girls your age are very curious. However, it’s best to wait until you’re of age before you visit this kind of place. Alright, come with us. Tell your parents to pick you up at the station.”
“Mister, I…”
The policeman did not bother to listen to Xu Youyou at all and busied himself with checking the other people’s ID cards.
Su Lanxu tried her best to hold back her laughter. In the end, she could not hold back and burst out laughing.
Xu Youyou glared at Su Lanxu. “You still have the audacity to laugh! What should I do now?”
Xu Youyou thought she was really unlucky. It was her first time coming to a club, and she was mistaken for a minor. Not only that, but she had to go to the police station to wait for her parents to pick her up.

Su Lanxu shrugged and said innocently, “You should follow the police back to the station and tell your family to pick you up.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll call my brother over?” Xu Youyou asked threateningly.
“Ah, I have to leave now! Bye!” Su Lanxu said, waving her hand before she rushed away.

“Huh? Lanlan? Lanlan!” Xu Youyou wanted to chase after Su Lanxu. How could Su Lanxu leave her at this time? Alas, she had only taken two steps before she was pulled back by the policeman.
“Don’t think about escaping. Follow me back to the police station.”
Xu Youyou looked as though she was going to cry but had no tears. “I really am an adult!”
“Alright, alright, come with us,” the policeman said. Now that the inspection was over, he wanted to bring the minor with him and leave.
Xu Youyou stood unmoving. She felt as though her legs were filled with lead.
The policeman nudged her shoulder and said, “Let’s go.”
Xu Youyou gave up on explaining and lowered her head dejectedly. She was about to step forward when she heard a frosty voice ring in her ears.
“Wait a minute.”
Xu Youyou raised her head and saw a man walking down from the second floor. His long and slender legs were covered by a pair of black suit pants. He was wearing a white shirt with two of the top buttons unbuttoned, revealing his sexy neck and Adam’s apple. At this moment, he looked at her emotionlessly.
“…”
Xu Youyou fidgeted, feeling uncomfortable. She thought that she did not even feel this awkward when Lin Yin abandoned her on their wedding day. This was so much worse than a social death!
Mo Shenbai did not seem to notice Xu Youyou’s discomfort. He walked up to the policeman and said, “Officer, she’s an adult.”
The policeman looked at Mo Shenbai and asked, “Do you know her? What’s your relationship?”
Mo Shenbai glanced at the young woman whose head was lowered before he said tonelessly, “She’s my… wife.”
Xu Youyou raised her head and looked at Mo Shenbai in disbelief with her starry eyes. ‘Why did he say that I’m his wife? Shouldn’t he say that I’m his friend’s sister?’

The policeman looked at Mo Shenbai suspiciously as though Mo Shenbai was a pervert.
Mo Shenbai did not explain himself. He turned and gave Pei Chuan a look.
Pei Chuan immediately pulled the policeman to the side and began to explain in detail.
Who knew what Pei Chuan said, but the policeman seemed to believe Mo Shenbai after that. When the policeman returned, he looked as though he did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said to Xu Youyou, “I really didn’t expect you to be an adult. You look too young! Next time, remember to bring your ID out. Otherwise, it’d be easy to cause a misunderstanding.”
Xu Youyou muttered softly, “Yes, it’s my fault for looking young.”

Xu Youyou raised her head to push her bangs away when she saw a pointed gaze directed at her.
