Chapter 75
Shen Youlin took Dou'e to the pet shop for a bath before heading home. In the underground parking lot, they ran into Yin Minbi, whom they hadn't seen for a long time. She had a disdainful look, making it clear she wasn't pleased to see Dou'e, but still shared the elevator with her.
The moment Yin Minbi pressed the floor button, Shen Youlin exploded, "Who the hell asked you to press it for me?! These elevator buttons, they're all filthy!"
Yin Minbi, wearing Bluetooth earphones and engrossed in her phone, casually replied, "I didn't press it for you, I was calling Yu Shu."
Yu Shu is unclean too!
"What are you calling her for? She's straightforward, don't think..."
Interrupting him with a smirk, Yin Minbi said, "She's my boss, what do you think I'm calling her for? You should actually be grateful, she's my boss."
"What... do you mean?"
"Everyone can see you both like each other, why are you being so awkward?"
Chin up, Shen Youlin retorted, "Please mind your words! It's Yu Shu, unilaterally, secretly in love with me. It's her, liking me, liking me to the point of obsession."
Yin Minbi asked with a smile, "Is that so? And what about you?"
"Me? Ha, of course, I'm just playing with her." Shen Youlin boasted, "On and off, hot and cold, I have her wrapped around my finger."
Surprised, Yin Minbi asked, "Oh?"
"Humph, every time it's her chasing after me."
"If you don't like her, why don't you make it clear?"
"She's amusing! She's so amusing! I can't find anyone more amusing than her, especially when she's angry. I deliberately provoke her, so what? Every time I beckon, she comes running."
"When I get bored, I'll find an excuse to get rid of her, and she'll hide under the covers crying for days, reflecting on what's wrong with herself..."
Yin Minbi showed him her phone screen, and Shen Youlin fell silent abruptly.
The screen showed a call in progress, and the caller was Yu Shu.
Perhaps not hearing any sound, Yu Shu hung up the phone.
Yin Minbi put away her phone, nodded admiringly, "Thanks to technology, thanks to 5G, we can have smooth calls even in the elevator."
The elevator reached the designated floor with a 'ding', and the door opened.
Yin Minbi smiled and turned to him, "Not leaving?"
Expressionless, Shen Youlin replied, "No, I forgot something in the car, need to go down for a moment."
"Alright, see you later." Yin Minbi waved happily.
As the elevator door closed, Shen Youlin burst into a sound akin to a startled guqin, mentally sticking pins into the voodoo doll with Yin Minbi's name on it, then stomping it to pieces under his foot.
What to do? What to do? Yu Shu must be very angry, even more than the previous times!!!
Ah ah ah ah ah!!! Let's hide for now, and sort it out when she's calmed down!
Shen Youlin rubbed his head vigorously, "Dou'e, let's roam the world together!"
"Woof!"
Yu Shu opened the door dejectedly for Yin Minbi, "I've been dumped, no court today, I'm not discussing anything."
"You seem fine though."
Yu Shu pointed to her heart, "Here, it hurts."
"Am I to blame for it?"
Yu Shu stepped back half a step, welcoming her in with a tone filled with remorse, "No, I should have thought of it earlier."
She recalled every bit of her time with Shen Youlin. Wasn't he just treating her like an amusing toy? Every time he made her angry, his apologies followed the same routine.
Shen Youlin's words, though partly a result of his quarrel with Yin Minbi, were actually what he truly felt.
He had always known that he liked her.
And yet, he could act as if nothing had happened after that night.
The sadness spread wildly from her heart, gradually engulfing her.
She was sadder than she had thought.
Yin Minbi's eyes hid behind the reflecting lenses, making it hard to discern her expression. "It's better for you to think it over early. Shen Youlin's family is not an ordinary wealthy household."
Yu Shu nodded, "Mm."
"Do you want to go out and clear your mind? The company isn't busy lately anyway."
"Just because the business is busy doesn't mean I can't go out and play, as if I could be of any help."
"There's no need to be so... self-deprecating."
At night, Yu Shu tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Suddenly sitting up straight, she made a decision: she was going on a global tour.
Only poor folks cried under their blankets. As a rich woman, she would cry at the Tokyo Tower, the Eiffel Tower, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa...
After all, she had never been abroad. Traveling around the world alone was a bit daunting, and solo travel was too boring. She needed someone to accompany her and boost her courage.
So, at three in the morning, she sent a message in her sister group: "Let's go, global tour, all expenses on this rich woman."
Wang Duoyu: Money talks.
At this time, only Zhiyang and Zhixia were awake. They both replied with two words: Not going.
They were so busy that they didn't even have time to sleep, standing still they could doze off, let alone go on a trip; sleepwalking was almost the same.
Yu Shu didn't hold much hope for them and waited for the other two to wake up and reply to her message.
Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Yu Shu simply got up, turned on her computer, and started looking for travel guides. Nothing could stop her longing for the colorful world.
Traveling, the easiest way to have romantic encounters.
The next morning, Yu Shu received rejections from both Lin Fangyu and Ou Doudou. Lin Fangyu's dessert shop had just opened, a critical time, and she couldn't leave; Ou Doudou, on the other hand, was staying home to take care of Xu Kai, who had fallen ill recently.
Yu Shu sneered at Xu Kai's illness. While others had valid reasons, Ou Doudou gave up the whole world for one man.
Yu Shu thought so, and she said it. She also added a universal phrase, "There's not a single good man in this world!"
Ou Doudou didn't say anything more, but the other three sensed something unusual in her words and asked if she was secretly hooking up with a wild man.
She had hooked up, but hadn't succeeded.
Yu Shu couldn't bring herself to speak of such embarrassing matters. She opened the group chat's "Do Not Disturb" mode, ignoring the inquiries from her friends one by one.
As she scrolled through her friend list, only Elder Sister Xing remained as a potential travel companion. With her wealth of experience, there was no better companion than her.
Just as Yu Shu was carefully choosing her words, a message from Yu Fanxing popped up— "I'm running away from home! There isn't a decent man in the world! Let's go on a trip!"
Yu Shu: "Let's go!"
After discussing with her, Yu Shu immediately packed her bags and headed to the airport to meet up in Neon Country.
---
In Kyoto, in the office of Shen Chaowen, the CEO of Shen Group.
After hearing from his assistant that Yu Fanxing had boarded the plane to Neon Country, Shen Chaowen sighed helplessly, rubbing his temples.
It was his fault. One of the interns at the company bore a resemblance to a younger Yu Fanxing, so he had taken special care of her. Little did he know that the girl would develop inappropriate feelings and cause a scene in front of Yu Fanxing.
She was even younger than his youngest son, making him feel truly wronged.
The assistant asked, "Should we bring Madam back?"
"Forget it, let her have her fun this time."
Yu Fanxing's jealousy and anger were just a facade. Ultimately, it was because she had been confined to home for too long. She seized this opportunity to make a fuss and go abroad for an adventure.
"It seems someone is accompanying Madam on this trip."
"Seems?"
The assistant broke out in a cold sweat. "I'll find out immediately."
While Yu Shu was enjoying the male strippers slicing salmon at the Cowherd Restaurant with Yu Fanxing, her information was sent to Shen Chaowen.
"This girl has quite a connection with Young Master Seven as well."
