Chapter 1295: Chapter 1295 Shen Chi is the Idol She Admires

"Chenglang, do you remember the first time we met six years ago? You were a ray of light in my despair, then and always," Xu Chaomu’s voice choked up, "Meeting you has been my fortune."

Nie Chenglang smiled, "Why the tears? You were crying when we first met, and after so many years, you’re a mother now. Still crying? Are you embarrassed?"

Back then, she was just a little girl. In the blink of an eye, she had become a mother.

He, however, remained standing in the same place. Perhaps she would never look back, or perhaps, she might turn to glance at him.

But he would always stand there, just to watch her boldly march forward, to see her happiness, and to be there for her whenever she felt lonely and helpless and wanted to turn around.

Xu Chaomu wiped her tears; she didn’t even know why she had started crying.

"I won’t cry anymore," Xu Chaomu dried her tears and smiled.

"Right, don’t act like a three- or four-year-old child, I don’t like seeing you cry," Nie Chenglang said, "You should always be happy."

"Why bring this up," Xu Chaomu felt a bit complicated, "Let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about something fun!"

"What do you want to talk about?"

"A senior from college called me a few days ago, saying she’s getting married and asked if I could attend. Are you going?"

When Xu Chaomu started talking about happy times with Nie Chenglang, all the unpleasant memories felt like stones weighing down on her heart.

Her emotions today were complicated, she didn’t know why, perhaps it was Nie Chenglang’s words that made her feel reflective.

The past cannot be returned to, but the future can still be pursued; perhaps the present happiness is the best.

Xu Chaomu stood by the window, holding her phone and chatting with Nie Chenglang.

Gradually, as they talked about some happy things, both of their moods lightened considerably.

Actually, Xu Chaomu has always hoped that Nie Chenglang could collaborate with Shen Group. Nie Chenglang is talented, and Shen’s provides a platform. If they could work together, they could surely elevate the product to a new level.

The two of them talked for quite a while, until Xiaobao got impatient, constantly calling out "Mommy, Mommy," prompting Xu Chaomu to put down her phone.

"Mommy! Ignoring me..." Xiaobao muttered.

Xu Chaomu laughed and gave him a kiss, "Mommy is not ignoring you, didn’t we agree you’d play on your own? This afternoon, I’ll get a drawing teacher for you, to teach you drawing."

"No, want..." Xiaobao didn’t seem to understand, but he firmly refused anyway.

"You must, you have to surpass your dad. Do you know how outstanding your dad is? You can’t learn from Mommy, boys need to take on responsibilities, understand?"

"No, no..." Xiaobao kept shaking his head.

"It’s settled then. Mommy will get a teacher for you this afternoon."

Although Xiaobao is still young, it’s essential to start young.

Shen Chi also said he was sent to learn piano and Taekwondo and many other things when he was very young; back then, Shen Chi was practically her idol.

Of course, even now, Shen Chi is still Xu Chaomu’s idol.

Xu Chaomu meant what she said; in the afternoon, she really did hire an art teacher for Xiaobao. Considering Xiaobao’s young age, she had him start with just learning to doodle.

As for herself, she went to meet Lou Yanli in the evening.

It had been a long time since she saw Lou Yanli. She hadn’t expected Lou Yanli to become more mature and stable, yet his handsome and bright demeanor remained unchanged.

"God of men, I hear you’ve won several design awards recently." Xu Chaomu and him met at a French restaurant.

Lou Yanli laughed: "Just stuff for amusing kids."

He had not seen Xu Chaomu for a long time, and when he wanted to see her later, he found out her mobile number had changed.

Unexpectedly, this time, she took the initiative to ask him out.

"When can the stuff that amuses kids also amuse me? I want to be pampered too," Xu Chaomu said with a smile.

"If I remember right, wasn’t the grand prize from the year before last enough to honor you?" Lou Yanli also smiled.

"You know it, backed by connections," Xu Chaomu shrugged.

"Your work was indeed good, it had an artist’s flair, clearly seen by all, not something you can get through connections."

"Still, it was through connections, if Shen Chi hadn’t asked an expert to guide me, how could I have produced such good work. My skill is just so-so, not even one-tenth of yours, hehe," Xu Chaomu laughed.

"Then you too have your backing."

"God of men, are you mocking me, mocking me, or still mocking me?" Xu Chaomu laughed.

"Why would I mock you, come on, tell me, what do you need?"

"Do I need a reason to see you? Can’t I just catch up with an old friend?" Xu Chaomu winked.

"Catch up? Sure, do you want to give a speech about the time the teacher kicked you out of the classroom, or share how you felt running six rounds on the field as a punishment?"

"In your memory, am I totally useless?" Xu Chaomu slapped the table.

"Of course not, you also made your teachers cry," Lou Yanli said with a half-smile, "I really admire that, thoroughly impressed."

"..." Xu Chaomu was sweating.

"Where’s your son? When will you bring him out for me to see, to see if he takes after you more or Shen more? If he’s more like Shen, then I’ll be relieved," Lou Yanli said.

"God of men, when did you become so sharp-tongued?"

"Have I? Hahaha, not as much as your Shen, right?"

"..." Xu Chaomu was sweating again.

Xu Chaomu and Lou Yanli had a pleasant chat, and she learned he had been studying with a famous teacher in France, not only winning many awards but also about to take over his family’s company.

Once a top student, now still an exceptional talent, Xu Chaomu felt... her judgment was truly accurate.

"I want to open a jewelry design studio, god of men, can I take you as my mentor?" Xu Chaomu stated her intention.

"I dare not; you might as well go to Shen, there are many outstanding international designers, they know much more and can teach you more."

"But I don’t have a common language with them, I want a familiar person as a mentor, preferably a friend, so that he won’t mind when I trouble him."

"How do you know I won’t mind you? You’re so clumsy, I really mind that," Lou Yanli laughed.

"..." Xu Chaomu gave him a look, "So you won’t agree?"

"I’ll call my girlfriend, if she agrees, then I’ll agree," Lou Yanli smiled.

"Huh? Girlfriend? Since when did you have a girlfriend? How long have you known each other? Why haven’t you shown her to me? Is she pretty? What’s her name? Do I know her?" Xu Chaomu was very curious.

The girlfriend of a god of men must be exceptional, especially for someone like Lou Yanli at his level.
