Chapter 20: I Don’t Have Daddy Issues

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Youyou did not know if it was because she had confided in Mo Shenbai, but she discovered her heart was not as heavy as before, and she no longer felt disappointed.

It was just as Mo Shenbai had said. Humans were complicated. She had been too naive in the past. Even if Lin Yin was very good in the past and had given her warmth, after a long time, people would change. After thinking it through, her footsteps were much lighter as she went upstairs.

As soon as she entered the room, she heard her phone vibrating. She picked up her phone to look at the message, but before she could read it, Su Lanxu’s call came.

“Xu Youyou!” Su Lanxu’s scream rang from the other end of the line.

At this time, Xu Youyou finally remembered her appointment with Su Lanxu. She hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Lanlan. Something suddenly came up. I didn’t mean to stand you up. I…”

!!

Before Xu Youyou finished her words, Su Lanxu interjected, “Let’s not talk about this first. You have to tell me the identity of that incredibly handsome man!”

“Huh?” Xu Youyou was stunned. Then, she laughed and said, “Lanlan, is that all you care about?”

“Is that the main point? No. The main point is that handsome man!”

“Calm down,” Xu Youyou said as she picked up a pillow and sat on the couch. After hugging the pillow, she began to explain everything briefly.

After listening to Xu Youyou, Su Lanxu was silent for a full minute. Then, she screamed.

Xu Youyou calmly brought the phone away from her ear, looking as though she was very used to this. When the scream subsided, she put the phone against her ear again.

Su Lanxu said excitedly, “Even the author I like can’t write such exciting scenes!”

Xu Youyou: “…”

“Youyou, since he saved a damsel in distress, isn’t it reasonable for you to give yourself to him?”

The corner of Xu Youyou’s lips twitched slightly.”Are you kidding me? Give myself to him? Do you know who he is?”

“I know he’s handsome!”

“He’s my brother’s good friend. Most importantly, he’s the Chairman of the Mo Group, Mo Shenbai.”

“…”

Su Lanxu fell silent again. Clearly, her confidence from earlier had taken a blow as she said, “Well, so, so what? You’re so good. In fact, he might not even be worthy of you!”

Xu Youyou did not have as many thoughts as Su Lanxu. She said, “I’m already very grateful that he’s willing to act with me in front of Grandma and let me stay with him. I’d be too greedy if I harbor ulterior motives as well.”

Su Lanxu scoffed softly before she said, “In any case, he’s a really an upstanding man! Just his appearance alone is far superior to that scumbag, Lin Yin. Are you sure you can control yourself when you’ll be facing him day and night? Are you sure you won’t fall in love with him?”

Xu Youyou felt lazy so she turned on the loudspeaker and placed the phone on the couch before she said in her sweet voice, “Lanlan, he’s nine years older than I am. How can I fall in love with someone so much older than me?”

After saying that, Xu Youyou muttered, “I don’t have daddy issues.”

“What?” Su Lanxu did not hear the last sentence clearly.

“I said, don’t forget you promised to treat me to hotpot earlier.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll treat you twice. How about it?” After saying that, Su Lanxu switched the topic again and said, “You’re right. Mo Shenbai is very handsome, but he’s too old. I heard that men will go downhill once they turn 30. If the both of you get together, it won’t be long before he turns into an old man. Who knows if he’ll turn into a wolf?”

Girls became immersed when chatting. Moreover, Su Lanxu, who had read many melodramatic novels over the years, had a very wild imagination.

Xu Youyou laughed. “Lanlan, it’s not good to talk about others behind their backs. Moreover, he definitely won’t turn into a wolf even after he turns 30.”

“Oh, you’re not even with him, but you’re already defending him?” Su Lanxu said teasingly.

“Lanlan!” Xu Youyou feigned anger and smacked the couch, causing the phone to fall and roll a few times on the carpet. She put down the pillow in her arms and rose to her feet to pick up her phone. When she straightened her back, she inadvertently looked at the door. She was immediately dumbstruck!
