Chapter 285: Chapter 156: Shen Qingying: This Fine Flower Has an Owner, and the Owner Is a Master

Ignoring everyone around them, she took Chen Mo’s arm, and they intimately walked out of the auditorium together.

After all, Chen Mo had already taken her first kiss in the mall’s underground parking garage.

Besides, considering the nature of their relationship from here on out, what was linking arms?

Watching Chen Mo and Shen Qingying leave together, the group of guys were left dumbfounded. With expressions of pure disbelief, they stood frozen to the spot.

"Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?"

"When we asked him who his girlfriend was, he said he was here to see Senior Sister Qingying. Was he trying to tell us all along that *she’s* his girlfriend?"

"No wonder I kept feeling like Senior Sister Qingying was looking at me on stage. Turns out she was looking at him."

"I’m so fucking embarrassed. I just asked him if he thought Senior Sister Qingying was beautiful. Of course he knows his own girlfriend is beautiful!"

"But isn’t Senior Sister Qingying into women?"

"Heh, if you still believe that, you’re truly one of a kind."

"Maybe this is all part of their game. She probably created that persona on purpose so no guys at school would try to hit on her."

"Makes sense."

The guys watched them leave, looks of sudden realization dawning on their faces. Suddenly, everything made sense.

As they walked through campus, many passing students saw Shen Qingying with her arm linked through Chen Mo’s, the two looking very intimate.

Everyone looked shocked, immediately pulling out their phones to share the fresh gossip.

"Giving up the persona?"

Chen Mo glanced at Shen Qingying, who was clinging to his arm, and asked teasingly.

"My new persona is that I’m taken."

Shen Qingying smiled beautifully, her enchanting eyes fixed on him as she spoke.

She had created her previous persona for two reasons. First, to keep the boys at school from harassing her.

Second, to cultivate a pure and innocent image to attract a patron she deemed worthy.

Now that she had found and secured Chen Mo as her patron, that persona was no longer needed.

On the contrary, she needed to build a new one.

The persona of a woman who was spoken for.

’Yes, as in, belonging to a master.’

Letting everyone know she was in a relationship would make her patron feel more secure.

This was what an obedient and sensible Canary ought to do.

Hearing her words, Chen Mo gave her a knowing smile but said nothing.

’I have to admit,’ he thought, ’this Canary really knows the score.’

Followed by astonished stares all the way, Chen Mo and Shen Qingying reached his car.

Once they were in the car, Chen Mo stepped on the gas and drove away from the dance academy.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Qingying’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

’I wonder what kind of exquisite little cage Chen Mo has prepared for his Canary,’ she thought.

’Given his personality and way of doing things, if he’s prepared something, it’s bound to meet my standards.’

’I just wonder about the neighborhood, the decor...’

As her mind raced, imagining the kind of place Chen Mo had prepared, he drove into the Platinum Riverside District.

The complex had opened less than five years ago, making it a relatively new development.

Chen Mo first went to the property management office with the deed to update the resident information and register his license plate.

Shen Qingying took the initiative to hold Chen Mo’s hand as they walked through the district. She took in the beautiful landscaping and the pristine-looking exterior of the buildings.

She hadn’t even seen the apartment yet, but she was already quite satisfied with the neighborhood.

They entered Building 8 and took the elevator to the 20th floor.

This building featured private elevator access for each unit, opening directly into the apartment’s entryway.

Chen Mo keyed in the passcode and opened the door.

The first thing she saw upon entering was a massive floor-to-ceiling window, which bathed the apartment in natural light and offered a spectacular view.

Old Chen had spent a fortune on the renovation, using only high-end, brand-name materials.

Furthermore, it had been renovated less than two years ago and had remained unoccupied ever since.

As a result, stepping inside felt like walking into a brand-new, freshly renovated home.

"Go on, take a look around. See if you like it."

Chen Mo said with a smile, giving her pert bottom a light pat.

Normally, she might have felt a little shy if Chen Mo patted her there.

But upon entering the apartment, her attention was completely captivated by the space.

Her first impression of the apartment could be summed up in three words.

Spacious, bright, and new!

It was spacious, filled with light, and immaculately new.

Moreover, the decor was stylish and modern—a style she loved.

"How big is this place?"

Shen Qingying’s beautiful eyes shone with wonder. The apartment Chen Mo had prepared was far, far better than anything she had imagined.

"182 square meters."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and handed her the property deed.

"182 square meters!"

Hearing this, a look of delighted surprise blossomed on Shen Qingying’s lovely face.

She took the deed and glanced at it—sure enough, it read 182 square meters.

While Chen Mo was at the property management office, she had looked up the district online.

An unfurnished unit started at over 80,000 yuan per square meter. Factoring in the renovation, this apartment had to be worth at least 17 million yuan!

Her profile had stated a minimum requirement of 100 square meters.

Yet Chen Mo had prepared a 182-square-meter apartment worth over 17 million for her...

Shen Qingying set down the deed and surveyed the living room.

’This exquisite little...’ she corrected herself, ’no, *large* cage... I love it. I’m very satisfied.’

’From now on, this Canary will be living in this big, beautiful home.’

"So, do you like your cage?"

Chen Mo asked playfully.

"I love it!"

Shen Qingying turned, nodding emphatically, her beautiful eyes locking with Chen Mo’s.

She took two steps forward, wrapped her long, fair arms around his neck, and pressed her lithe body against his.

Lifting her head to look at him, she rose onto her tiptoes and initiated a kiss.

’The patron has shown his sincerity,’ she thought. ’If this Canary doesn’t obediently reciprocate...’

’...then what right would she have to live in such an exquisite cage?’
