This Bad Luck is Awesome!

"No problems?"

When Chen Mo heard Feng Yu say there were no problems, he wasn’t sure if he should be happy or disappointed.

He was happy because he could smoothly snag this great deal on the villa.

He was disappointed because he might not run into any unfortunate incidents.

However, when it came to unfortunate incidents related to this kind of person, he figured it was best not to encounter any at all.

"Yeah, he’s not getting out in this lifetime. His wife and kids are abroad and don’t dare to come back."

"As for the people on the outside, when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter. They’re all scrambling to distance themselves from him. Who would dare cause trouble?"

Feng Yu briefly explained the situation to Chen Mo.

The capable ones were all behind bars. Those who weren’t had no power—they were nothing.

Besides, everything that needed to be found had been found, and everything that needed to be destroyed had been destroyed.

There was absolutely no risk.

But these weren’t things to discuss over the phone.

Since she was treating Chen Mo to a meal anyway, she just told him in person.

"Then why did the first auction fail?"

Of course, Chen Mo trusted Feng Yu, but he still had some doubts.

"Do you think just anyone knows all this?"

Feng Yu took a sip of her tea and gave him a meaningful look.

At her words, Chen Mo instantly understood.

He knew all this because Feng Yu had told him.

And Feng Yu’s identity... well, let’s not get into that.

Did other people have the channels to get this kind of information?

Obviously not.

And would someone who was qualified to know this information even need to buy a foreclosed property?

"Thanks."

Chen Mo raised his teacup to her.

"I should be the one thanking you."

Feng Yu smiled and raised her cup in response.

"Go ahead and buy it with peace of mind. If any clueless fools come looking for trouble, just tell me directly. I’ve been looking for a way to get ahead, anyway."

Feng Yu seemed to have thought of something and joked with him.

She felt that whenever Chen Mo ran into trouble, she somehow managed to earn some merit.

It was all very mysterious.

"You got it."

Chen Mo laughed as well.

Then, the waiter brought over the dishes Feng Yu had ordered.

Chen Mo tried some and thought it tasted pretty good.

The two of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

After the meal, they went their separate ways.

"What are you doing?"

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Mo sent Xia Shiqing a message on WeChat.

"Shopping with my mom."

Xia Shiqing replied quickly.

"Want to come over tonight and watch *iPartment* with me?"

Chen Mo smiled slightly as he typed.

He knew Xia Shiqing would understand what he meant.

"Okay."

Xia Shiqing agreed immediately.

Seeing her message, a smile of anticipation spread across Chen Mo’s face.

’Time to explore love again tonight.’

「National Gold International Financial Center.」

Xia Shiqing and Mrs. Xia were out shopping.

"Mom, you can keep shopping. I’m leaving."

Xia Shiqing said suddenly, looking at her mother.

"Huh? What’s wrong? Did something come up?"

Mrs. Xia glanced at her daughter in surprise. ’What could possibly come up on a Sunday?’

"My boyfriend wants to see me. I’m going to his place."

"I’m staying there tonight. I won’t be coming home."

Xia Shiqing said this with a perfectly natural expression as she put her phone in her bag.

"Um... okay, go ahead."

Mrs. Xia was speechless for a moment. After a few seconds, she replied, somewhat stunned.

She grew more and more curious. What kind of magic did her daughter’s boyfriend possess to make her so obedient?

’Is this still my cool and detached daughter?’

’It’s like she’s completely fallen for him.’

’To use the youngsters’ phrase, is this what they call being ’love-brained’?’

"I’m leaving then. You take your time shopping."

After saying goodbye to her mother, Xia Shiqing strode out of the mall on her long legs.

She got in her car and drove straight to Chen Mo’s place.

BEEP BEEP BEEP...

About twenty minutes later, Chen Mo, who was sitting on his sofa, heard someone entering the passcode.

He glanced at the door in surprise. The only person who knew his passcode was Xia Shiqing.

’But didn’t we just agree she would come over tonight?’

DING-DONG~

"Door unlocked."

As the electronic voice of the lock sounded, his front door opened from the outside.

Then he saw Xia Shiqing’s tall, well-proportioned figure walk in.

"You’re here?"

Chen Mo went to the door and wrapped her soft, delicate body in a smiling embrace.

"Mhm."

Xia Shiqing’s slender arms also wrapped around Chen Mo’s waist. Her bright eyes met his, and she nodded.

"What about your mom? Weren’t you two shopping?"

Chen Mo’s eyes showed his curiosity.

"I didn’t want to make you wait, so I came straight here."

"My mom is shopping by herself."

Xia Shiqing blinked her beautiful eyes and said without a second thought.

Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but chuckle.

’Daughter of the year, right there.’

’This really was something she would do.’

’Then again, she only did it because she didn’t want to make me wait.’

At that thought, Chen Mo looked at the breathtaking face before him—utterly beautiful with just a hint of makeup—and could no longer suppress the impulse in his heart.

He lowered his head and kissed her tempting, rosy lips.

’Who cares about watching *iPartment* tonight?’

’We’re watching it right now!’

This time, Chen Mo didn’t take the city streets; he got onto the urban expressway.

On the expressway, Chen Mo could better utilize the vehicle’s nimble handling.

After flooring the gas pedal, the almost instantaneous power response greatly enhanced his driving experience.

With just a slight turn of the steering wheel, he could immediately feel the vehicle’s feedback.

In between, he’d occasionally get off the overpass to wait at a red light, and as soon as it turned green, he was right back on the overpass.

...

「Evening came.」

In the bedroom, their breathing was even and steady.

Xia Shiqing snuggled in Chen Mo’s arms, and he had his arm around her fair shoulders.

"Another firm is trying to poach me."

Xia Shiqing said suddenly, her head resting on his shoulder.

"A big firm?"

"A Top 10 one."

Xia Shiqing nodded lightly.

"Do you want to go?"

Chen Mo was a bit surprised. The Top 10 firms were the leaders of the industry.

"I do."

She thought for a moment, then nodded.
