Xu Youyou, who had been referred to as Mo Shenbai’s wife, scratched her ears in embarrassment. She changed the topic and asked, “Uh… Lanlan told me to visit an escape room. Are you free? Let’s visit it together and play…”
Before Mo Shenbai could reply, Xu Jialu said, annoyed, “If you want to play, you can look for me. Why are you looking for him? Do you think he looks like someone who’ll play in an escape room? Does he even look like he knows anything about escape rooms?”
Xu Youyou: “…”
‘Brother, you’re really a stumbling block in my path!’
Mo Shenbai ignored Xu Jialu and said, “I’m free.”
Xu Youyou sighed in relief inwardly. “Lanlan has already booked the place. We can just go there directly.”
Xu Jialu said mockingly, “You’re the Chairman of the Mo Group. How can you leave during working hours to go to an escape room?”
“If you need to stay in the company every day, then what did I hire you for?” Mo Shenbai retorted nonchalantly.
Xu Jialu choked, but he refused to give up. “Then, I want to go as well! There are so many people in the company anyway. You won’t go bankrupt if I leave for the entire afternoon.”
‘How can I let Youyou go to an escape room with him?! What if he takes advantage of her?’
Mo Shenbai: “…”
‘Sure enough, sending him to stir up trouble for Lin Yin was the right choice!’
…
Mo City’s largest escape room.
When Su Lanxu saw that Xu Jialu had come with Mo Shenbai and Xu Youyou, she asked disdainfully, “What are you doing here?”
Xu Jialu put his hands in his pockets and said defiantly, “Of course, I came to play! Otherwise, did you think I came here to flirt with you?”
Su Lanxu said sarcastically, “Oh, thank you! I must have destroyed a universe in my previous life to have someone like you flirt with me in this life!”
“You’re welcome! In your previous life, you destroyed a universe. That’s why you can’t get my love in this life!”
“You!”
While the duo bickered, Xu Youyou stepped forward to stop them. “Uh, Lanlan, how much longer do we have to wait?”
Su Lanxu scoffed at Xu Jialu before she looked at Xu Youyou and said with a smile, “We don’t have to wait for the room I selected so we can go in now.”
Then, Su Lanxu beckoned for the staff to come over.
The staff confirmed the number of people and made sure none of them had any heart diseases before they were given walkie-talkies, flashlights, and a small medicine box for them.
Xu Jialu pointed at a few players nearby and asked curiously, “Why don’t they have the medicine box?”
The staff member smiled and replied, “The room they chose is the simplest one so they don’t need a medicine box.”
An ominous feeling rose in Xu Jialu’s heart when he heard these words. He asked, “What room are we playing?”
The staff member replied, “It’s the scariest room here. It’s called the ‘Red Dress at Midnight’. So far, no one has cleared the room.”
Xu Jialu’s face turned green, and he glared at Su Lanxu.
Su Lanxu shrugged and said innocently, “Why are you looking at me? You’re not afraid, are you?”
Xu Jialu chuckled with an unnatural expression on his face, “Me? Afraid? I’m only worried Youyou will be afraid.”
Xu Youyou, who was playing with the walkie-talkie, looked at Xu Jialu with her clear eyes and said calmly, “I’m not afraid.” Then, she turned to Mo Shenbai and asked, “Are you afraid? If you are, we can change rooms.”
Mo Shenbai smiled faintly. “I’m not afraid.”
The staff member gave them a brief summary of the plot before he led them to the room.
Mo Shenbai walked in front while Xu Youyou followed behind him. Su Lanxu walked next to Xu Youyou while Xu Jialu looked at the entrance to the room, clearly reluctant to enter.
