This Bad Luck is Awesome!

What do you mean, I "can think of it that way"?

"You gave me such a valuable wealth code. I believe that means you genuinely like me."

"So, of course, I have to give some positive feedback to someone who genuinely likes me."

Seeing the confused look on Chen Mo’s face, Xia Shiqing explained with candid generosity.

She didn’t believe in love, so naturally, she wouldn’t develop romantic feelings for the opposite sex.

According to her understanding and line of thinking, Chen Mo had given her a wealth code. In her eyes, that meant he genuinely liked her, and she had to respond.

How should she respond?

Since Chen Mo genuinely liked her, then she would just be his girlfriend.

Whether she would be his only girlfriend or one of many depended on Chen Mo’s capabilities.

If he could only date her, then she’d be his only girlfriend.

If Chen Mo could date several at once, then she’d be one of his girlfriends, or perhaps one of his lovers.

She didn’t mind such labels.

Her mother and her biological father had been a legally married couple, after all.

But that didn’t stop him from seeing other women on the side.

She was willing to date Chen Mo. The only issue was that she couldn’t develop romantic feelings for a man, which made dating very difficult.

It lacked that special spark.

So, all she could do was try to give Chen Mo the *feeling* of being in a relationship with her.

How was she supposed to provide this feeling of being in love?

She had seriously researched it this week. It was nothing more than mimicking what couples in the honeymoon phase do.

Sharing daily life with each other, caring about the big and small things in their lives, and so on.

Buying each other gifts, or cooking for each other.

Then going on dates, engaging in physical intimacy, and all that.

Aside from having no feelings of love for Chen Mo, she could do anything a girlfriend could do.

As long as Chen Mo didn’t break up with her, he would be her only boyfriend.

After all, her mother had taught her from a young age to be faithful in relationships and marriage.

After listening to Xia Shiqing’s explanation, a look of understanding flashed in Chen Mo’s eyes. He now roughly understood Xia Shiqing’s perspective.

Xia Shiqing wasn’t like other girls; she had her own set of principles and logic.

The concept of "love" didn’t exist for her.

At least, not yet.

Just as she had told him before, Xia Shiqing didn’t believe in love, only money.

She firmly believed that money was love.

Giving her such a valuable wealth code, according to her own unique logic, was a sign that he genuinely liked her.

And she was a very direct person.

Once she determined that Chen Mo genuinely liked her, she immediately gave her feedback.

Not at all like other girls.

Always going on about how they’re "slow to warm up."

But the moment they sit in the passenger seat of some Brother Fu’s sports car, they suddenly get so hot—even in the middle of winter—that they can’t take their clothes off fast enough.

He had basically figured out Xia Shiqing’s self-consistent logic and understood the special nature of their current relationship.

He also understood some of Xia Shiqing’s strange behavior over the past few days.

To put it simply, Chen Mo could treat her exactly like a brand-new girlfriend.

However he would act with a new girlfriend was how he should act with her.

The only difference was that this girlfriend had no feelings for him.

And she wouldn’t care how many other girlfriends he had on the side.

And as it happened, Chen Mo didn’t need a girlfriend to have feelings for him.

And as it also happened, he wanted to have a few more girlfriends.

It was a perfect match.

Li Ran really wasn’t wrong. They were the most compatible couple in the world.

Chen Mo’s brow smoothed out, the doubts in his heart vanishing completely. He quickly got into character.

"I get what you mean. Let’s go in."

Chen Mo pulled his arm from her grasp, then naturally took her delicate hand in his.

’She’s my girlfriend, and we’re dating, after all.’

’Holding hands is perfectly normal, isn’t it?’

The moment he touched it, her hand felt cool and icy.

It was smooth and delicate to the touch.

Startled by Chen Mo suddenly taking her hand, Xia Shiqing paused for a moment before giving him a charming smile.

’Looks like Chen Mo really understands my way of thinking, and he doesn’t mind that I don’t love him.’

She didn’t resist him holding her hand.

Although she had never dated before, she knew that holding hands was a completely normal act of intimacy in a relationship.

Never mind just holding hands; other, more intimate acts wouldn’t be out of the question in the future.

But, for some reason...

...she felt her pretty face grow slightly warm. When she touched it with her free hand, it felt a little hot...

Walking toward the Disney entrance while holding Xia Shiqing’s delicate hand, Chen Mo was lost in thought.

’This Xia Shiqing is a real one. Give her a wealth code and she returns the favor with a full-on honey trap! Plus, she’s not slow to warm up at all. She gets right to it.’

...

At the main entrance, the two of them first downloaded the Modu Disney app and then bought their tickets.

It was Saturday, and Disney was a sea of people.

All you could see were heads; it was incredibly crowded.

To avoid waiting in line for an hour or two for every ride, Xia Shiqing directly purchased the deluxe concierge service package.

Yep, this package was over 2,000.

And that didn’t even include the tickets.

The benefit was that after splurging, you didn’t have to wait in line for any of the attractions.

You just go and ride.

"Dating a rich girl feels pretty damn good."

The corners of Chen Mo’s mouth curved up. He was in an excellent mood.

Xia Shiqing had looked up a guide before coming. The first thing she did after entering the park was have Chen Mo link their tickets together.

Then they entered the lottery for a chance to buy a Lina Belle doll.

They got lucky and won the purchasing qualification, successfully buying a Lina Belle doll.

"Take a few pictures for me."

Xia Shiqing was in a great mood. She hugged the Lina Belle doll and stood next to a scenic spot perfect for photos.

"OK."

Chen Mo gladly took her phone. Taking pictures for your girlfriend on a date was a mandatory course.

Xia Shiqing stood in the frame holding Lina Belle, with the beautiful Disney park architecture in the background.

CLICK!

CLICK!

CLICK!

Chen Mo found a good angle and then fired off a burst of shots.

When taking pictures of a girl, you can’t go wrong taking several shots of the same pose.

Later on, she’d always be able to pick at least one usable photo from the bunch.

His phone had 1TB of storage anyway, so he could shoot as much as he wanted.

As they strolled around, they came to a merchandise area.

"Let me buy you this."

Chen Mo picked up a Lina Belle headband and walked over to Xia Shiqing.

He stood face-to-face with Xia Shiqing, their bodies so close he could smell her fragrance.

"I like this one."

Seeing the fluffy pink headband in Chen Mo’s hands, a look of affection appeared in Xia Shiqing’s eyes.

"Let me put it on for you."

Chen Mo leaned in a little closer, the distance between him and Xia Shiqing shrinking.

He could even faintly feel her breath.

Gazing at her exquisitely made-up, beautiful face from such a close distance, Chen Mo’s heart couldn’t help but start beating faster. THUMP-THUMP.

At the same time, he seemed to notice that the rhythm of Xia Shiqing’s breathing had quickened slightly.

He gently pushed Xia Shiqing’s soft, silky hair with his fingertips, tucking it behind her ear.

However, his fingertips accidentally brushed against her earlobe.

Chen Mo could clearly feel Xia Shiqing’s delicate body tremble slightly.

"What’s wrong?"

Chen Mo looked into her bright eyes.

"It tickles a little."

Xia Shiqing blinked her beautiful eyes, looking directly at Chen Mo.

Her expression seemed calm, but her ears had quietly turned bright red.

Chen Mo placed the Lina Belle headband on her head. On top of being beautiful, Xia Shiqing now looked a bit more adorable.

CLICK!

This time, without her having to ask, Chen Mo proactively took a photo of her with his phone.

"Let me pick one for you, too."

Xia Shiqing glanced around and found a Mickey Mouse headband that looked quite nice.

She brought the headband over to Chen Mo, brushed his bangs aside, and put it on his head for him.

"Not bad."

She looked Chen Mo up and down and nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Mo looked in the mirror. Although the headband was a bit feminine, it still looked okay on a guy.

Not effeminate.

He took a photo of himself in a full-length mirror, and when Xia Shiqing saw, she came over to join him.

Seeing this, Chen Mo wrapped his right arm around her slender waist and pressed the shutter button with his left hand.

Xia Shiqing didn’t resist, proactively leaning her head, headband and all, slightly against his shoulder.

The image in the full-length mirror became even more harmonious and sweet.

People came and went in the store, and anyone who saw them would think they were a couple deep in the honeymoon phase.

But what they didn’t know was that affection can be acted out.

After paying, the two walked out of the store, holding hands intimately.

"Let’s go to Soaring Over the Horizon. I want to try it."

Chen Mo was very interested in this attraction, which he had seen online before.

"Okay."

Xia Shiqing nodded. If Chen Mo wanted to ride it, she certainly had no objection.

They started walking toward Soaring Over the Horizon.

"M-Minister Xia?"

"Chen Mo?"

Just then, Chen Mo and Xia Shiqing suddenly heard someone calling their names.

This came as a surprise.

’Who’d have thought we’d run into acquaintances at Disney?’

They turned to the side and quickly saw the people who had just called out to them.

Two people were walking toward them, both of whom Xia Shiqing knew.

They were both employees at Xihe.

Pan Kejia and Zheng Xiaoxiao.

Chen Mo, however, only recognized one of them: Zheng Xiaoxiao, a colleague from his internship at Xihe.

Pan Kejia had joined after his internship, so he didn’t know her.

"Zheng Xiaoxiao, long time no see."

Chen Mo greeted her with a smile.

"Chen Mo, you and Minister Xia...?"

Looking at the two of them holding hands so intimately...

Zheng Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. Her face was a mask of shock as she asked in a tone full of disbelief.
