Indeed, as she walked out of the school gate, she saw Bai Man’s sports car parked on the empty ground. Xiaofeng was driving, and Bai Man sat in the passenger seat.
Bai Man was draped in a white coat, her long hair twisted into a neat bun.
Wearing sunglasses, she sat in the passenger seat with her arms crossed, quietly looking out the window.
Soon enough, Bai Man caught sight of Xu Chaomu.
The girl had her black hair casually tied into a ponytail, wore a loose white T-shirt, and below, clean denim jeans.
Although she looked neat and presentable, Bai Man still let out a cold laugh.
She spoke indifferently, “Xiaofeng, where does she get the audacity to think she’s worthy of Shen Chi?”
Xiaofeng laughed too, “I’m afraid even a random female employee from Shen Group would be more pleasing to the eye than her. That one, dreaming every day of climbing into President Shen’s bed.”
“Every woman wants to climb into Shen Chi’s bed, I’m used to it,” Bai Man said with disdain.
“However, Miss Bai, you should still be wary of that Xu Chaomu girl. Men, you see, after seeing too many seductive and sexy women, might want to try a different flavor.”
“Xiaofeng, do you think Shen Chi actually likes her?”
“Men are fickle by nature, Miss Bai, don’t overthink it. No matter how fickle, President Shen will still marry you. He is a man after all, and a particularly charming one at that, so it’s normal for a few women to be circling around him.”
Bai Man fell silent for a few seconds, her gaze calmly resting on Xu Chaomu as she walked in their direction.
“Xiaofeng, is everything taken care of?”
“Rest assured, there will be no issues, everything is ready.”
“That’s good to hear.”
Xu Chaomu reached the car door, bent down, and opened it: “Fourth sister-in-law, good morning.”
“Morning. Have a seat, are you busy today? I hope I’m not delaying you,” she said.
Xu Chaomu sat in the back seat: “No, it’s Saturday today, it’s alright if I do my homework tonight.”
“That’s good. Later, I’ll take you to the mall to pick out a gown together. What color do you like?” Bai Man turned to ask her.
Xu Chaomu smiled: “I… don’t really know. Fourth sister-in-law, what color do you think suits me?”
She had never been a bridesmaid before; this was her first time. But to be one at his wedding, she still wanted to look her best and not embarrass him.
“I’ve already picked out my wedding dress. We’ll try it again later. At that time, we’ll let the shop assistant give you some advice on which colors would complement my dress.”
“Okay,” Xu Chaomu nodded obediently.
“Alright, later we’ll visit a few more shops. With your beauty, Chaomu, you will certainly look gorgeous in a cocktail dress,” Bai Man laughed.
“Fourth sister-in-law, you flatter me. No one would look anything but ashamed standing next to you,” she replied.
Xu Chaomu’s words were genuine; at her age, she hadn’t learned to be slick.
Bai Man was known as the most beautiful woman in C City, and Xu Chaomu truly thought she was stunning.
Xiaofeng, who was driving, chuckled: “Miss Xu sure knows how to sweet-talk.”
“Oh, by the way, Chaomu, after buying the dress, would you mind joining me to look around the home furnishing store? I want to pick some decorations for our new home, and you can help me decide,” Bai Man said.
“Fourth sister-in-law, you could ask your husband to go with you.”
“Ah, indeed, he promised me as well, even said he’d accompany me to buy a baby crib. But he’s so busy, he can’t spare the time now.”
Xu Chaomu felt a slight pang in her heart but maintained a faint smile on her lips.
“Fourth sister-in-law, are you and big brother moving out soon?”
“Yes, the new house has been decorated, and after the engagement, I’ll move in with your big brother. But we may move in earlier once he has free time. You haven’t seen the villa yet, have you? It’s a beautiful place; I’ll take you there when you’re free.”
“Sure,” Xu Chaomu replied with a smile.
“Chaomu, I heard from your brother that he would love to have a daughter, so I was wondering if you could help me pick out some toys that little girls like later.”
Xu Chaomu lifted her eyes, blinking rapidly.
“Fourth sister-in-law… are you pregnant?”
Bai Man smiled and her cheeks flushed with a rosy glow.
“Not sure yet, we’ve been trying hard, hoping for a baby soon. It would be perfect if I could be pregnant by the engagement party,” she said.
“You never know, it would be wonderful if it turns out to be a double celebration,” Xu Chaomu smiled.
She knew if there was a mirror at that moment, she would find her smile far from pleasant.
“He told me the same thing, that it’d be great if I could be pregnant before the engagement. Lately, I’ve made sure he doesn’t drink alcohol; I tell him that alcohol can lead to an unhealthy baby.”
Joy beamed from Bai Man’s face, and Xu Chaomu knew who the “he” in her words was.
Just as Xu Chaomu was about to say something, Bai Man picked up a newspaper she was holding and smiled.
“Chaomu, look at your brother, I told him to cut down on the drinking, yet there he goes, getting drunk last night and caught by the paparazzi again.”
Xu Chaomu took the newspaper from her hands.
Finance section headline: Shen Group’s CEO Drunken Late Night, Intimate Actions with Young Girl Spark Hotel Rumors.
A large photograph displayed a man’s profile with a young, seductive girl by his side.
They were indeed very close. f𝚛𝗲𝐞𝐰e𝗯n𝗼v𝗲𝚕.𝚌o𝐦
This man still had such vulgar tastes, only liking bold women with ample bosoms.
Xu Chaomu smiled wryly, without much expression: “Fourth sister-in-law, doesn’t that bother you?”
“I’m used to it,” Bai Man smiled, “Men, getting a little too close to some young girls from time to time is nothing to be shocked about. He wouldn’t really go to a hotel room with them. He has said to me, he will only ever have one woman in his life.”
Having said that, she paused, glanced at Xu Chaomu, and then added, “Actually, I don’t really mind. These young women are only after Shen Chi’s money. If he wants to play around, let him be. As his wife, I’m not that petty.”
“Fourth sister-in-law, you’re very generous. If my husband dared to do that, I’d make sure he could never check into a room again,” Xu Chaomu said with a huff.
Bai Man burst into laughter: “Then you better keep a close eye on your future husband. But really, it’s nothing much. Men have their needs, and he’s just playing with those girls, nothing serious; neither he nor I will take it to heart.”
Xu Chaomu fell silent for a few dozen seconds. He was just playing with those girls.
And with her, it was also nothing.
So Bai Man said he wouldn’t really go to a hotel with them, and he will have only Bai Man as a woman in his life.
All of a sudden, Xu Chaomu understood why he had always refused to touch her—it was indeed to remain pure for Bai Man.
She ought to be touched, moved, or perhaps deeply moved.
Well, good for her. This kind of scumbag could go as far away as possible.
Thinking back, a chill ran down her spine. There was a night when she was drunk and she clung to his neck, moaning in discomfort…
But from now on, if he dared harass her again, she would definitely slap him twice without hesitation!
Xiaofeng, who was driving, spoke up: “Miss Bai, you are truly magnanimous. If it were me, I wouldn’t let those women off so easily.”
“It’s fine, Shen Chi is just playing with them and not serious about it. If I were to get serious about it, that would just make me look petty,” Bai Man said with a laugh.
