You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 415 - 401
"Xuexue, did you take a bath so early today?"
During dinner time, Xia Qingrou sat at the dining table, tapping her chopsticks, waiting for Cai Yuncui to serve the dishes. Ever since Cai Yuncui returned, Xia Qingrou immediately reverted to a child who couldn't take care of herself.
Cai Yuncui was only too happy to cater to her; she loved taking care of others and was very good at it, even Shen Mochen often became spoiled by her.
"Um, um..." Han Muxue nodded somewhat unnaturally, not looking at her.
"Hehe... smells nice..."
Xia Qingrou grabbed the hair of Han Muxue next to her and sniffed it with a sleazy grin.
Han Muxue did not make a sound.
But Xia Qingrou became suspicious, "Hey, Xuexue, why are you so gentle today, aren't you going to scold me..."
Han Muxue froze for a moment, glancing at Shen Mochen who was coming over with the dishes, "I've always been like this... I've gotten used to your weirdness."
"Uh... not right..." Xia Qingrou suddenly became sharp, staring straight at Han Muxue, "Normally at this time, you should be scolding me and then pinning me down, why do you look so guilty today!"
"I, I'm not..."
"Hmm, really—"
Xia Qingrou stared hard at Han Muxue, who bowed her head, gripping her skirt, with cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
"Xuexue, you couldn't have—" Xia Qingrou squinted her eyes, dragging out her words, "eaten the half of the watermelon I kept in the fridge!"
Upon hearing the words "sneak eating," Han Muxue was suddenly startled, her face flushing red in an instant, waving her hands unconsciously, "What sneak eating! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Still denying it, you really did sneak eat!" Xia Qingrou said in grief and indignation, "I chilled it all afternoon, planning to eat it after my bath! And you sneakily ate it!"
Han Muxue finally snapped back to her senses, sighing in relief internally, thinking how could this fool ever realize! But even so
"I didn't eat your watermelon," Han Muxue defended.
"If you didn't sneak eat, why do you look guilty, and why is your face red!" Xia Qingrou huffed, "How much did you eat, you didn't leave any for me, did you!"
"I told you I didn't eat it, stop saying 'sneak eat' it sounds so ugly!"
"What's going on here, why the arguing again?" Cai Yuncui came over with the dishes.
Seeing Cai Yuncui, Xia Qingrou pounced into her arms and whined, "Yuncui sister, look at Xuexue, she sneakily ate the watermelon I chilled all afternoon and was preparing to eat after my bath!"
Cai Yuncui laughed and patted Xia Qingrou's head, "Little Snow might not have known it was yours, don't be mad."
Xia Qingrou pouted, "I'm not mad, it's just that Xuexue won't admit she sneakily ate it!"
Han Muxue bit her lip, her cheeks blushing again, annoyed, "I told you I didn't eat your watermelon, go check the fridge yourself if you don't believe me!"
Quit using the word "sneak eat," it was clearly your own doing!
Confused, Xia Qingrou expression, but seeing Han Muxue's serious face, which didn't seem like she was lying, she ran to the fridge and took a look, her watermelon was indeed completely intact inside.
"Ah, you didn't sneak eat..." After coming back, Xia Qingrou's face expressed embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Xuexue, I knew you weren't that kind of person. It's just you looked so guilty, I got it all wrong..."
Han Muxue coldly huffed and turned her face away.
"Alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up, let's eat," Shen Mochen lightly coughed.
"Mm..." Han Muxue glanced at Shen Mochen sitting opposite her and quickly lowered her head.
Liu Chaoyan observed it all, her eyes blinking slightly, as if rippling with some unusual gleam.
"Shen, when you're not too busy later, come to my room," Liu Chaoyan patted on Shen Mochen's shoulder.
After dinner, perhaps to make up for the misunderstanding earlier, Xia Qingrou, after taking a bath, ran to Han Muxue's room with a watermelon, wanting to share it with her, but Han Muxue refused.
Han Muxue felt very petty, as if she had stolen Xia Qingrou's man.
She was very self-reproachful and felt tremendously guilty towards both Xia Qingrou and Cai Yuncui, even though she knew Shen Mochen seemed to be a scoundrel.
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it... I, I was just throwing myself into the tiger's den, I did it for their good...
Han Muxue kept telling herself.
...
Shen Mochen knocked on Liu Chaoyan's door. He thought Liu Chaoyan might have noticed something, but such matters couldn't be avoided anyway and had to be faced head-on. If they truly confronted each other, he believed Liu Chaoyan would understand him.
"Come in," Liu Chaoyan said.
Shen Mochen pushed the door open and saw Liu Chaoyan, who after taking a bath, was neatly dressed in a long white dress, her hair cascading down like a pure white lotus risen from water.
"Sorry, please wait a moment," Liu Chaoyan gave Shen Mochen an apologetic smile.
It was then that Shen Mochen noticed Liu Chaoyan was on a call.
"Is it Shen Mochen?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhao Yuji.
Shen Mochen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he wasn't surprised. The man on the line was engaged to Liu Chaoyan; a regular phone call between them wasn't unusual. However, he disliked Zhao Yuji—this type of person was repulsive, especially knowing about the engagement with Liu Chaoyan.
What he relied on was nothing but his family background, in all other aspects he wasn't worthy of Liu Chaoyan.
But he indeed had a family background.
Just thinking about it was irritating.
"Yes, it's Shen. I do have some matters to discuss with him," Liu Chaoyan said with a light laugh, "You two are friends, aren't you? Want to pass the phone to him and talk?"
"Sure, that would be great." Zhao Yuji laughed.
Shen Mochen took the phone, gave Liu Chaoyan a slight nod, and walked out.
"Hello, Zhao Lao Er," Shen Mochen said languidly.
"What did you say?"
"Mr. God of Love, second place, isn't it you?"
"Heh..." Zhao Yuji let out a cold laugh, "Such trivial entertainment, why would Shen Mochen care so much?"
Shen Mochen also laughed, "I don't really care, but even for such a petty list, being above you, Little Master Zhao, feels pretty good."
Zhao Yuji's voice hesitated before he laughed again, "I've heard about your grand deeds, truly admirable. If I were Catherine, I think I wouldn't be able to help falling in love with you." freewёbnoνel.com
"Thanks for the compliment, but your sarcastic tone feels like you hope I don't survive till tomorrow morning."
"How could that be? We are friends, after all, I hope you live a long life, at least until the half-year later engagement ceremony with Miss Liu... hahaha, and hope you go easy during the ceremony, not turning it into something like Catherine's."
"What are you afraid of?"
Shen Mochen suddenly asked.
"Me, afraid? I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Shen Mochen."
"You're afraid that Captain Liu Chaoyan will fall for me, just like Kajiena did."
"Hahaha..." Zhao Yuji laughed, his tone finally taking on a mocking edge, "Mr. Shen Mochen, have you ever heard of the frog at the bottom of the well? It gazes up at the sky from the bottom, thinking the sky is only that big. There are many things you don't understand and can't see beyond… "
Shen Mochen interrupted softly, "If you're not afraid, why particularly emphasize your engagement ceremony with Captain Liu? People tend to accentuate exactly what they're worried about, you're still as cowardly as ever, truly pitiable."
