Chapter 287: Chapter 157: E-Dashing Xu Xiyue, the Innate Unlucky Investment Sacred Body

He handed Shen Qingying a Pop H necklace, a pair of earrings, and a bottle of Hermes perfume.

"I picked these up when I bought a bag last time. They’re for you."

Chen Mo told her bluntly.

"Thank you, Brother~"

Shen Qingying happily accepted the necklace, earrings, and perfume from Chen Mo, then took the initiative to give him a kiss on the cheek.

She knew of Hermes; it was a high-end luxury brand.

Their bags were famous, but also very expensive.

Chen Mo had definitely bought the bag for another woman, but that had nothing to do with her, a mere Canary.

Her upperclassman had told her that a Canary needs to know her place.

’What your master gives you is yours. Don’t even think about what he doesn’t give you; it has nothing to do with you.’

For her, the best possible outcome was that Chen Mo’s other women wouldn’t show up at her door to cause a scene.

She didn’t want to worry about anything else, nor did she have the right to.

So, even though Chen Mo was giving her a necklace, earrings, and perfume he’d picked up on the side while buying a bag for someone else, she was still overjoyed.

Because they were a gift to her, they were now her things.

Besides, even if they were just an add-on purchase, these items were undoubtedly quite valuable.

After all, nothing from Hermes was cheap.

Hearing her form of address, Chen Mo just smiled without saying anything.

She felt that calling him by his name was too distant, but she couldn’t yet bring herself to call him anything else.

So she had settled on "Brother." It was more intimate, but not so much as to be embarrassing.

"Are we going home, or back to the university?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, asking her in a deliberately playful tone.

"Going home" meant going back to the apartment he had prepared for her.

As for what would happen once they got "home," they were both adults. Nothing more needed to be said.

"Going back to the university" was just that—the literal meaning.

"Brother~ once our relationship is official, you can take me anywhere you want..."

Shen Qingying hesitated for a moment, her beautiful eyes looking at him apologetically as she spoke.

She had made it this far, preserving her first kiss and her clean, pure body for Chen Mo, all thanks to her caution and intelligence.

Although she had already confirmed that Chen Mo was her patron, they hadn’t signed any agreement yet.

The usage agreements for the apartment and the car hadn’t been signed either.

She had already made a huge breakthrough today. As for the final step, she wanted to be more cautious.

’What if Chen Mo sleeps with me and then just dumps me? Even if the probability is very, very small.’

It wasn’t as if there hadn’t been cases like that at her university before.

"Fine."

Chen Mo wasn’t in a hurry. It was a good thing that she was smart and cautious.

The smarter and more cautious she was, the less likely she was to do something that would displease him in the future.

Besides, he had to spend time with Xia Shiqing after work, so managing his time today would have been difficult anyway.

After that, Chen Mo drove her back to the university.

At the university entrance, she again took the initiative to let him feel her up for a bit before getting out of the car.

"I’m off."

Chen Mo rolled down the window, waved to her, then stepped on the gas and drove away from the university.

He headed straight for the small apartment he was renting.

’Once the company transfer procedures are complete, I’ll use company money to buy that apartment.’

’If I don’t spend it, the money will just be paid out in taxes anyway.’

Only after the red sports car had completely disappeared from sight did Shen Qingying turn and walk onto campus.

As she walked through the university grounds, everyone who saw her shot her strange looks.

Before, everyone had assumed she kept her distance from the male students because she liked women.

But now everyone understood. She simply looked down on those guys; she was only interested in a Brother Fu.

Now, in everyone’s eyes, she was no longer the pure and noble campus belle.

Instead, she was just like certain other girls at school—a gold digger who only had eyes for money.

Shen Qingying could feel their strange gazes, but ever since choosing this path, she had stopped caring about what others thought.

Now, she only cared about what Chen Mo thought of her; his opinion was the only one that mattered.

’As for what other people think? Who cares?’

After returning to her dorm room, her roommates all gathered around.

"Qingying, is what everyone’s saying true?"

"Qingying, do you really have a boyfriend?"

"When did you start dating? How come we didn’t know?"

"..."

Her roommates didn’t seem to have any strong opinions about it; they were just surprised and curious.

"Mhm, what everyone’s saying is true."

Shen Qingying smiled magnanimously and nodded, admitting it to her roommates.

There was no reason to hide it. She wanted everyone to know she was taken.

"Those guys must be furious. They’re flaming you on the school forums."

"They should take a good look at themselves. Do they really think they’re worthy of Qingying? And they have the nerve to curse her out? The audacity."

"And what about those girls? Isn’t it perfectly normal for Qingying to like men? What’s there to flame her about?"

"..."

Her roommates all felt that Shen Qingying was being unfairly criticized.

Whether she liked men or women, what did it have to do with any of them?

Who she dated had nothing to do with the people cursing her out, either.

"It doesn’t matter. I just won’t look."

Hearing this, Shen Qingying’s delicate, pretty face remained placid, showing no trace of emotion.

She truly didn’t care what anyone said about her.

Before, she had to maintain a certain image, but now, all she needed to do was be a good Canary for Chen Mo.

Nothing these people said could affect her in the slightest.

’If there’s anyone I feel sorry for or owe anything to, it’s Chen Mo’s girlfriend.’

’Other than that, I don’t owe anyone anything.’

Seeing that Shen Qingying genuinely didn’t care, her roommates dropped the subject.

However, the roommates did spot the shopping bag she had placed on her desk, the one with the Hermes logo.

Seeing this, a thought suddenly occurred to them.

’If our boyfriends bought us Hermes, getting flamed by a few classmates really wouldn’t matter at all, would it?’

After sitting down, Shen Qingying eagerly picked up her phone to send her upperclassman a message on WeChat.
