Chapter 1401: Chapter 1401: If I Don’t Understand, How Do I Flirt With Men

"What did you say?" Xu Chaomu curiously looked at her.

"I asked him, do you think my sister is pretty? He said very pretty, very elegant." Xia Chuqing said seriously.

"Xia Chuqing, are you teasing me? Do you believe that I can mess with you?" Xu Chaomu couldn’t help laughing and crying, "You haven’t seen the tricks I use to mess with others, they could make you cry."

"Hehehe, Sister Chaomu, you’re so naïve. You’re a mom of two babies and still this naïve. Do you think you were fooled by Boss Shen into coming back?" Xia Chuqing laughed loudly. Of course, she didn’t say these things to her boss.

"..." Xu Chaomu touched her forehead again, feeling embarrassed.

"Sister Chaomu, don’t scare me. I’m also very good at messing with people. When I was little, I made my cousins cry from my pranks, and my aunts would chase me to scold me." Xia Chuqing said.

"So... what did you really say to the boss just now?" Xu Chaomu asked curiously.

"I complimented him on being handsome, and I asked what kind of girls he likes. I said how about I introduce you to some pretty female students?"

"All day thinking about flirting and not being serious. What, you don’t like someone anymore?" Xu Chaomu looked at her leisurely.

The "someone" she mentioned, Xia Chuqing naturally knew, but pretended to be clueless.

"Why gaze upon the willow’s sparse fluff when fragrant grass lies everywhere? Why hang onto a single tree when thinking about it, I don’t like him that much, and he’s not that charming." Xia Chuqing said nonchalantly.

"My husband’s vice-president is not charming enough for you?" Xu Chaomu said disdainfully, "He’s kind-hearted, handsome, capable, and without a single flaw. If I didn’t have Shen Chi, I’d go after him."

"That’s just okay." Xia Chuqing looked disdainful, "He’s much older than me. He could be my younger uncle, not my type anymore."

Xu Chaomu chuckled, she knew Xia Chuqing was stubborn in denial. Matters of the heart aren’t something one can just let go that easily.

"Xiao Mo can be a bit prideful sometimes, but if you really miss out on him, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. I think he’s a soft touch and not a hard nut to crack, you could try spoiling him a bit."

"Why should I, a girl, go and spoil him, a grown man? No way, whatever will be, will be!" Xia Chuqing argued stubbornly.

When other people date, the girl is always pampered, but with her, she needs to spoil someone else.

"Let me tell you, this is just a temporary strategy. Once you’ve got him wrapped around your finger, you can torture him however you like, and see if he stays prideful." Xu Chaomu said.

"Chaomu, how come you understand so much?"

"If I didn’t understand, how could I flirt with men?"

"Is this how Shen Chi was flirted back by you?"

"Didn’t you just say that I was tricked by him to go home? Also, he’s so stingy, he didn’t give me anything and just tricked me into going back."

Xu Chaomu remembered how years ago he tricked her into going to the Civil Affairs Bureau, an incident that still makes her teeth itch with anger.

Back then, she was so upset, thinking that he had decisively cut ties with her, leaving her unnecessarily sorrowful, only to find out five years later that she was already married!

"Magic rises one foot, Tao rises ten. I also think that, like you, how could you possibly have Shen Chi wrapped around your finger." Xia Chuqing giggled.

Xu Chaomu gave Xia Chuqing a contemptuous look, once again underestimating her.

Soon, their ordered lunch arrived, and the two chatted while eating.

The summer break had arrived, and the shop wasn’t very busy, so Xia Chuqing could chat with the handsome boss from time to time.

This Japanese guy was much funnier than Xiao Mo, often making Xia Chuqing laugh out loud.

He had also gotten to know Xia Chuqing, even gave her a small gift.

Xu Chaomu smiled slyly, winking, she secretly took a few photos of Xia Chuqing and the handsome guy, and casually posted them to her social circle.

Hmm... the handsome guy was indeed quite good-looking.

What she didn’t expect was that as soon as she posted it, Shen Chi was the first to frown.

He immediately sent a text message to Xu Chaomu: "You really dare to check out handsome guys."

"Handsome, isn’t he?"

"Aren’t you satisfied just looking at me every day?"

"That’s different. Stop talking, I’m going to continue eating."

Xu Chaomu ignored someone’s jealousy. Whenever there was a handsome guy around, she hadn’t even done anything yet, and he was already feeling pressured.

As men get older, they lose confidence... Xu Chaomu chuckled to herself.

Xu Chaomu’s friends also saw Xiao Mo’s WeChat Moments. He stared at the picture, his thin lips tightly pressed together, his gaze deep and meaningful.

After a long time, Xiao Mo put down his phone and continued to revise the proposal on his desk.

Coming out of the Japanese restaurant, the heat was oppressive everywhere.

Xu Chaomu and Xia Chuqing shared an umbrella to shade themselves from the sun, walking side by side under the green shade of the trees on the campus.

"Chuqing, if you pass this exam, will you be able to get the scholarship to study abroad?"

"As long as no one cheats, I’m confident I’ll get it," Xia Chuqing said with assurance.

"When are you going to France?"

"It depends on the school’s arrangements. At the earliest, I would have to leave at the start of my senior year, otherwise it would be next year," Xia Chuqing suddenly felt sentimental.

"How long will you be gone?"

"Three years."

"That’s quite a while. Didn’t you say before you were planning on going to the United States?"

"My dad’s idea was that if I couldn’t get the scholarship, he’d send me to the United States, after all, my English is not bad. But if I can get the scholarship, then I’ll go to France, though it will be a bit tougher."

"Do you plan to stay in France after graduation?"

"My dad hopes that I can stay abroad. I’ll see when the time comes," Xia Chuqing gazed ahead, her eyes somewhat hazy.

"So, does that mean I won’t see you much for three years..." Xu Chaomu asked.

"No, I’ll come back every year, I promise you. As long as I’m in the country, I’ll come to see you, okay, is that okay?" Xia Chuqing shook Xu Chaomu’s arm.

"You’re such an irresponsible godmother, I’ll tell Xiaobao not to call you that anymore."

"No, no, I really like Xiaobao, and not only Xiaobao, but Erbao should also call me godmother. You don’t know, whenever I show my friends Xiaobao’s picture, they are so envious, saying Xiaobao is so good-looking."

"You should show them Xiaobao’s mom’s picture and tell them that it takes a high-value mom to have a high-value baby."

"Shouldn’t I be showing them a picture of Boss Shen instead?"

"..."

The two of them walked along the roadside, continuing forward. The scenery at C University was beautiful, and it was summertime, with Ziwei flowers blooming along the way, a riot of colors.

Xu Chaomu walked slowly, and before long, Xia Chuqing took her to rest in a pavilion by the artificial lake at C University.

Xu Chaomu also felt reluctant to part with Xia Chuqing. If Xia Chuqing was going to leave for France at the start of her senior year, then she wouldn’t be able to wait for Xiaobao to be born.

Moreover, on the way, Xia Chuqing hadn’t mentioned Xiao Mo at all, it seemed like they had a pretty unpleasant fallout.

Xu Chaomu knew Xiao Mo very well; the man was too cautious, which basically meant he overthought everything.
