Chapter 18: Don’t Hold On to Trash
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this time, there was already a crowd gathered around the trio. When they heard the conversation, they looked at Lin Yin with disdain. They thought he was really shameless for pestering a married woman. Most importantly, the other man was too handsome! It was as though he had descended from heaven.
Lin Yin held his wrist that was still aching as he watched Xu Youyou obediently let the man lead her away. His expression was extremely dark at this moment.
When Mo Shenbai and Xu Youyou arrived next to a black Bentley that was parked at the roadside, he saw the box in her hand. Then, he said, “Give it to me.”
“Huh?” Xu Youyou was still in a daze. When she realized what he was referring to, she handed him the box without any question.
After taking the box, Mo Shenbai raised his hand and casually tossed the box away.
The box sailed in the air, avoiding the crowd, before it fell accurately in front of Lin Yin.

Then, Mo Shenbai said in a gentle voice that carried a hint of pampering, “Don’t hold on to trash.”
After Mo Shenbai finished speaking, he deliberately looked at Lin Yin.
Xu Youyou: “…”
‘I didn’t intend to hold on to it. I forgot to return it earlier!’

After the duo entered the car, the car quickly pulled away and vanished from sight.
Lin Yin had grown up loved and liked by everyone. Hence, he had never suffered such a humiliation. He was so angry that his teeth were about to break from him grinding them too hard. Under everyone’s disdainful eyes, he kicked the box that held the diamond earrings at his feet away. Then, he turned around and got into his sports car.

At this time, Su Lanxu, who was standing slightly apart from the crowd, watched with her mouth agape. She had even forgotten to swallow the milk tea in her mouth. When she finally regained her senses, she gulped before she screamed in excitement.

‘Xu Youyou! You met such a top-notch man, but you didn’t even tell me about it?! This is too much! You have to treat me to a meal. No, at least two meals.’

…
After getting into the car, Mo Shenbai let go of Xu Youyou’s hand and placed her back on the floor of the car, leaning it against the front seat.
Xu Youyou reached out for her bag. After hesitating for a few seconds, she lowered her gaze and asked, “Did you come especially to pick me up?”
She recalled he had asked her in the morning what time her classes were over.
Mo Shenbai leaned back on the seat. He looked at her and looked away before he said, “It’s on the way.”
Upon hearing this, the driver could not help but glance at the rearview mirror. ‘I remember Assistant Pei said that Chairman Mo declined all his social engagements for the evening…’
Xu Youyou nodded. She thought Mo Shenbai was really kind. He was so busy, but he still made time to pick her up. Moreover, she was just his friend’s sister, not his biological sister. In any case, whether it was picking her up or helping her out, he really did help her a lot. Hence, she said, “Thank you.”

Mo Shenbai closed his eyes and said, “No need for that.”
Xu Youyou did not say anything else. She turned to look at the scenery speeding past her. Her eyelashes framed her eyes as the sun illuminated her face.
Mo Shenbai slowly opened his eyes at this time. He looked at the young woman next to him from the corners of his eyes. Her eyes seemed to be not as bright as before, and her face seemed overcast. All in all, she looked rather pitiful.
…
Moon Pavilion.
Xu Youyou was about to go upstairs when Mo Shenbai called out, “Xu Youyou.”
“Huh?” Xu Youyou returned to her senses and looked at him in confusion.
