This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Seeing her look so afraid of losing out to Xia Shiqing, Chen Mo couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.

Speaking of Xia Shiqing, back at her home...

She didn’t know why, but she felt incredibly restless.

She couldn’t put her finger on the reason.

She couldn’t sit still, nor could she stand still.

She tried to get some work done, but she couldn’t focus at all.

She was on the couch with Mrs. Xia, watching TV. Mrs. Xia was engrossed, but Xia Shiqing couldn’t focus at all.

She had no idea what was even playing on the screen.

Her mind was wandering, and she looked completely distracted.

She sat on the sofa for a while, then paced back and forth in the living room.

"Siqing, what’s wrong? Aren’t you feeling well?"

Mrs. Xia had noticed her strange behavior and couldn’t help but ask out of concern.

"I’m not sick, I just... have this strange feeling I can’t quite describe..."

Xia Shiqing explained her odd feeling to her mother.

"Well..."

Mrs. Xia was taken aback. She had no idea what was going on with her daughter.

"Are you missing your boyfriend?"

Then, as if she’d realized something, Mrs. Xia looked at her daughter and asked.

This was exactly how people head-over-heels in love acted when they missed their partner.

"I don’t know."

Xia Shiqing was slightly startled, a thoughtful expression flashing across her stunningly beautiful face.

’Am I missing Chen Mo?’

’But I don’t have feelings for Chen Mo. Why would I be thinking about him?’

"Just go find him. You’re here in body, but your heart is clearly with him."

Mrs. Xia shook her head. She was certain now—her daughter was completely lovesick.

"Okay."

Hearing this, Xia Shiqing nodded and then went back to her room.

She tapped on Chen Mo’s profile picture and started typing.

After she finished typing, she hit send.

「At the Carlton, in a deluxe room.」

DING!

Chen Mo, who was chatting with Pan Kejia, suddenly heard his phone chime.

He picked it up and saw it was a WeChat message from Xia Shiqing.

"I was thinking of spending the night at your place. Is that okay?"

Seeing this message, Chen Mo was slightly taken aback.

He glanced at Pan Kejia, who was trying on a bracelet beside him, then back at his phone screen.

’Talk about a scheduling conflict.’

’Looks like I’ll have to reallocate someone again.’

"I’m out taking care of something. I’ll message you when I’m done, and you can come over then."

Chen Mo replied to her message.

"Okay."

Xia Shiqing’s WeChat reply came instantly.

"Uh, something suddenly came up, so I have to go."

Chen Mo locked his phone, patted Pan Kejia on the shoulder, and spoke softly.

’I already went sightseeing with Pan Kejia once.’

’So she’s the one I’ll have to reallocate today.’

"What?"

Hearing this, Pan Kejia froze for a moment, then immediately understood.

She immediately pounced on Chen Mo like a wildcat.

But Chen Mo easily subdued her, pinning her onto his lap.

"Was that a WeChat from her? You’re going to reallocate me again?"

Easily subdued, she lifted her head to look at Chen Mo, her face a mask of pouty indignation as she asked in a hurt voice.

She was the one who’d invited Chen Mo to the racetrack first, and even though they’d already gone sightseeing once...

...she had been hoping to admire the scenery with him all night long.

But now, all it took was one WeChat message from Xia Shiqing, and Chen Mo was ready to reallocate her.

This had happened before, so she was mentally prepared for it.

Even so, she still felt incredibly hurt.

"How about we do a little more sightseeing before the reallocation?"

Chen Mo put down his phone and pulled her into his arms. Looking down into her pouting eyes, he chuckled softly.

"That’s more like it."

At his words, the pout on Pan Kejia’s pretty face finally began to fade.

’If Chen Mo went to find Xia Shiqing after going sightseeing with me twice...’

’...even with his incredible talent, he’d have to be at least a little affected.’

At this thought, she instantly felt much better.

’Yep, that’s how she consoled herself.’

’She was just that easy to please.’
