Mo Shaoyan was not bad-looking.

In fact, he was quite handsome.

But a face that suddenly appeared in the gap of the rack was very scary, no matter how handsome that face was.

Gu Baisheng almost wanted to punch him in the face.

She gritted her teeth and thought about whether she could smash his face.

While she was thinking, Qu Xiaobo had already punched him.

She punched Mo Shaoyan right in his face.

The rack was shaking slightly because of Qu Xiaobo's punch.

It got Mo Shaoyan unprepared.

Being punched in the face, he covered his nose and screamed immediately.

"Are you going to kill me, b*st*rd?"

Mo Shaoyan wouldn't let it go after being punched.

After being called b*st*rd, Qu Xiaobo was pissed, too.

She walked around the rack to fight with Mo Shaoyan.

Gu Baisheng noticed that they were surrounded by lots of customers.

Of course, she wouldn’t let them fight. She stood in between them to stop the fight before she talked to Qu Xiaobo, "Alright, just let it go."

"He's almost 30! How can a man in his 20s act like such an idiot?"

Mo Shaoyan was the young master of the Mo Family.

He could get anything he wanted.

He was surrounded by luxury cars and beauties after he grew up.

He had never met a woman who embarrassed him like this.

He took a deep breath, covered his nose frowningly, and shouted at Qu Xiaobo, "B*st*rd, I was just shopping! An idiot is a person who punches other people for no reason! Stay at home and get a doctor if you're a psycho!"

"Your ugly face suddenly showed up in the gap! I was so scared! What should I do? Should I give you a finger heart?"

Qu Xiaobo and Mo Shaoyan gave tit for tat and refused to shut up.

Gu Baisheng knew that she couldn't stop them, so she talked to Mo Shaoyan, "Stop it! Please leave."

"I won't because I'm not afraid of her!"

"Don't forget that you're a gentleman, Mr. Mo!"

On hearing this, Mo Shaoyan froze for a while.

Gu Baisheng said, "Lots of people are watching. Don't you feel embarrassed, Mr. Mo?"

Mo Shaoyan was well-educated.

After realizing that lots of people were watching them, he suddenly felt less angry.

He also felt that it was very embarrassing to argue with a woman in front of those people.

He gritted his teeth and murmured, "You're lucky that you punched me. I'll let it go. If you punched someone else, you would end up in jail!"

Qu Xiaobo thought of Zhang Kai on hearing "jail".

She felt sad when she thought about Zhang Kai.

After hanging up her call in a hurry last night, he didn't call her back.

What was he busy for? Was he too busy to call her?

It was the New Year.

Qu Xiaobo felt a bit sad and wronged, so her eyes got wet.

Mo Shaoyan wanted to warn her again.

But when he was ready, he saw her tears.

He was scared.

Really? Did he make this woman cry by saying so?

Was she so fragile?

Her punch just proved her toughness.

Mo Shaoyan panicked on seeing this.

As a rich playboy, he had seen women's tears a lot, but he had never seen a tough woman crying.

At first, he was a bit suspicious.

But after checking it a few times, he realized that Qu Xiaobo was really crying.

"You..."

"Get lost!"

Qu Xiaobo shouted at him after he said one word to her.

Mo Shaoyan was startled after being shouted at.

He didn't care if he lost face in front of other people.

He pressed his lips and turned away worriedly and stiffly.

Gu Baisheng was relieved after watching Mo Shaoyan leave. She turned around to comfort Qu Xiaobo, "Alright, don't be angry. Now he's left."

Qu Xiaobo raised her hand angrily to wipe away her tears.

The onlookers gradually went on shopping after the argument ended.

"OK. Don't cry. It's not worth it. Stay calm!"

Gu Baisheng took out a napkin from her purse and passed it to Qu Xiaobo.

Qu Xiaobo took it and wiped away her tears. Then she looked up, crumpled up the napkin, and asked, "Is my eye makeup smudged?"

Gu Baisheng was amused by her question.

She answered right away, "No, it's perfect."

"Good." Qu Xiaobo pressed the napkin against her eyes, "Luckily, I bought the waterproof one. I would look hideous if my eye makeup is smudged."

Gu Baisheng couldn't help laughing on hearing this, "Why did you cry if you worry about your eye makeup? Did Mo Shaoyan really make you so angry?"

Qu Xiaobo sighed, "No, it's not because of him."

"Then who is the reason?"

"Zhang Kai." Qu Xiaobo looked more worried, "He always paid me a new year call in the past as soon as the clock struck 12 a.m. But he didn't give me a call this year. Even when I called him, he hung up on me with the excuse of being busy."

"Do you start overthinking again?"

Gu Baisheng knew that Qu Xiaobo often overthought now.

In most of the cases, she worried that Zhang Kai might have an affair.

Qu Xiaobo didn't answer her question.

Gu Baisheng said something nice about Zhang Kai, "Didn't he explain everything to you? Zhang Kai is loyal to you and wouldn't have an affair. Don't worry, please."

Gu Baisheng comforted Qu Xiaobo.

Qu Xiaobo denied, "I'm not worried that he might have an affair."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Gu Baisheng asked her.

Qu Xiaobo pressed her lips and said, "I'm worried about his safety."

"He has been working as a police officer for years, but you haven't worried about his safety before. Why do you suddenly worry about it now?"

"I've been having nightmares lately, so I really worry about him."

Qu Xiaobo gently touched her temples while speaking.

Gu Baisheng recalled what Song Yi said to her and talked to her smilingly, "Don't worry about the nightmares. Dreams are all fake. They're not a sign. You just haven't slept well lately. You're just stressed."

Hearing her words, Qu Xiaobo raised her head, "It's not about stress and sleep."

"Song Yi said that having lots of dreams is a sign of stress and bad sleep."

Gu Baisheng's words successfully attracted Qu Xiaobo's attention.

Qu Xiaobo looked up and asked her uncertainly, "Who said it?"

"Song Yi." Gu Baisheng added on purpose, "Your idol."

Qu Xiaobo was a fangirl and obsessed with Song Yi.

She bought whatever Song Yi said, "That must be stress and bad sleep!"

Gu Baisheng checked her relaxed look.

She was speechless.

Qu Xiaobo didn't believe in what she said.

But Qu Xiaobo believed whatever Song Yi said.

She didn't even suspect it.

Gu Baisheng didn't know what Qu Xiaobo's reaction would be if she told her that Song Yi was living in the old mansion of the Song Family.

She would definitely go to the mansion to happily meet up with her idol right away.

Gu Baisheng was still thinking about whether to tell Qu Xiaobo this news.

Before she made her decision, her phone started to ring.

Gu Baisheng took out her phone from her purse and answered it.

It was a strange number.

She thought it was probably a cold call to introduce insurance, house property, or a clean loan.

Unexpectedly, when she picked up the phone,

it didn't sound like a salesman or a house agent.

Instead, it was Mo Shaoyan.

"Bai..." He suddenly realized that he said the wrong thing after uttering a word, so he suddenly changed it, "Mrs. Song, is she alright?"

"Who?"

Gu Baisheng glanced at Qu Xiaobo who was standing next to her.

She felt that Mo Shaoyan was probably talking about Qu Xiaobo.

She was not sure, so she double checked it.

Mo Shaoyan was awkward, "Well, I mean Miss Qu, your friend. Is she alright now?"

Gu Baisheng didn't expect that Mo Shaoyan called to check on Qu Xiaobo, so she was surprised.

"She..."

Qu Xiaobo noticed that Gu Baisheng was looking at her, so she asked, "Is the call for me?"

Gu Baisheng talked on the phone while looking at her.

If the call was not for her, she didn't have to answer it in front of her.

Gu Baisheng nodded honestly and said to Qu Xiaobo with her hand covering the microphone, "It's Mr. Mo calling."

"Mo Shaoyan?"

Qu Xiaobo frowned.

Gu Baisheng nodded, "Yes, it's him."

"Hang it up! Why did you even pick up his call? I'm so sick of him."

Qu Xiaobo didn't want to answer the call.

She hung up the call after taking the phone from Gu Baisheng's hand.

Mo Shaoyan heard their conversation.

He knew that Qu Xiaobo was still mad at him.

But gentlemen wouldn't make girls cry.

He felt that he needed to apologize to Qu Xiaobo in person.

He reflected on himself.

And then he called Song Shuang.

Song Shuang was organizing Gu Baisheng's books inside the carton in her room.

Although the books looked new, they were all hardcover books from a long time ago.

After taking the books from the carton and looking through them one by one, Song Shuang planned to put them back.

Song Shuang received a phone call after putting two books back.

He looked at the caller on his screen.

He didn't want to answer it.

But it was from Mo Shaoyan, so he answered it.
