Chapter 867 -867: Having an Admirer from Afar
“You’re acting like you’re the one involved.” Xiao Mo laughed.
In fact, Xu Chaomu had not taken part in the entire process, and even on the day before Li Beiting’s wedding, she was still kept in the dark by Shen Chi.
“Speaking of this, I’m quite angry.” Xu Chaomu straightened her face, all serious, “Why is it that every time something important happens, it’s always you and Shen Chi sneaking around, never telling me? Is this really okay for you two?”
Xiao Mo’s laughter grew even louder, as he explained, “Just didn’t want you to worry, that’s all.”
“Birds of a feather.” Xu Chaomu snorted coldly, previously she found out it was Shen Chi and Li Beiting conspiring together, and now Xiao Mo had been added to the mix.
To be precise, it should be said that Shen Chi and his group of brothers were all in collusion.
Exactly, exactly, as soon as she thought of this, she thought of Ji Shengxuan!
Seizing the opportunity of being alone with Xiao Mo, she quietly asked, “Secretary Xiao, can I ask you something in private?”
“Hmm?”
“You know about Ji Shengxuan, right?”
“I know,” Xiao Mo said.
In the upper social circles of C City, who didn’t know about Ji Shengxuan? The very top entertainment clubs, summer resorts, holiday estates, and so on, were all properties of the Ji Family.
Xu Chaomu fell silent for a while, how should she ask him, did Xiao Mo know about Ji Shengxuan’s ex-wife appearing in C City?
“What is it?” Xiao Mo frowned.
“It’s just that, I heard that Mr. Ji got divorced, do you know why he got divorced? I heard it was only three months after the wedding.”
“Not sure, you can ask President Shen.” Xiao Mo deflected the question.
“…” Xu Chaomu gave him a contemptuous look, knowing he wouldn’t spill the beans.
“Then do you know why Mr. Ji hasn’t remarried yet?”
“Haven’t met the right person, I guess,” Xiao Mo said casually.
Indeed, women’s points of interest differ from men’s. If there were a man sitting in the passenger seat, he would definitely talk to him about Ji Shengxuan’s family wealth, tactics, and so on, not about gossip.
He, a man, wasn’t really interested in others’ gossip, especially since he genuinely didn’t know much about Ji Shengxuan’s business.
Shen Chi probably knew, but of course, the most knowledgeable was the person involved himself.
“Forget it, I see you don’t know either.” Xu Chaomu despised these men for being so dull.
After a silence, Xu Chaomu could not sit still and spoke up again, “Then, Secretary Xiao, why haven’t you married yet?”
No sooner had the question left her mouth than Xiao Mo visibly paused, he hadn’t expected Xu Chaomu to ask him that.
There was a hint of profundity in his eyes, and when he looked straight ahead, a touch of misty confusion and melancholy was added.
His lips parted slightly, but he did not speak.
Xu Chaomu squinted her eyes and asked again, “Is it because there’s a beautiful first love you can’t forget? Or maybe, the person you secretly love is far away, out of reach?”
This time, Xiao Mo curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, “Yes, there’s someone I secretly love who is far away, out of reach.”
“Which country? Is it very far? If it’s very far, I can talk to Shen Chi about giving you a long vacation, so you can go and pursue her.” Xu Chaomu suggested, “Let me tell you, when it comes to chasing girls, you have to be proactive, plus some romantic techniques, and of course, the key is to have thick skin.”
A look of helplessness appeared on Xiao Mo’s face, yet he did not speak, still gazing straight ahead.
His eyes took on even greater depth, an unfathomable depth, and the calm in his eyes ultimately ruffled with slight ripples.
As if a stone had been dropped into a lake, the ripples scattering outward.
“If you don’t know how, you could learn from Shen Chi, or if worst comes to worst, from Li Beiting. Just don’t learn from Ji Shengxuan,” Xu Chaomu said, “divorcing after three months, tsk tsk, that’s a bad example.”

Once she started talking about these things, she couldn’t stop and seemed very experienced.
Especially when mentioning Ji Shengxuan again, she felt that he was a negative example, and it must have been Ji Shengxuan who let Su Weiyang down.
The one time she saw Su Weiyang, she didn’t notice any flaws in Weiyang, whom she found to be dignified and serene, composed and unruffled.
But there was a problem, the few times she saw Ji Shengxuan, she also didn’t find any shortcomings in him…
Xu Chaomu talked on the side, but Xiao Mo didn’t say anything.
Alright, after Xu Chaomu had talked for a while, she had to change the subject, as men probably didn’t have much interest in these topics.
Even if they did, they mostly kept it to themselves, she supposed.
Fine, she admitted, men are creatures of depth.
She then chatted with Xiao Mo about the old days when they were in school, such as how she often argued with the math teacher, and how she and Yu Weiwei often teamed up to play tricks on their pretentious homeroom teacher.
When she talked about these things, Xiao Mo seemed quite interested; she was speaking, and he was smiling, occasionally adding a few words.
As they talked, the car pulled up to the entrance of the Shen Family’s house.
“There was this one time during gym class, and even though it was supposed to be gym class, guess what happened? That detestable math teacher came and took over our gym class again. She said the gym teacher suddenly had something come up and wouldn’t make it to class,” Xu Chaomu remarked. “Yet, we clearly all saw the gym teacher…”
“We’re here.” Xiao Mo pulled the car to a stop.
“Oh? Okay.” Xu Chaomu stopped speaking, somewhat downcast.
Xiao Mo laughed, knowing she still had more to say.
He glanced at her and said, “Save some stories for next time, to tell me.”
“Alright, I’ll save them,” Xu Chaomu took a sip of her honey grapefruit tea.
She had talked so much on the way that she only drank less than half of the large cup of honey grapefruit tea, and now she felt thirsty again.
“Then… I should go now,” Xiao Mo said.
“Don’t go, it’s just about mealtime. Xiao Mo, stay and have lunch with us,” Xu Chaomu urged him to stay.
He had kindly driven her all the way here, and although it was part of his job, having a meal wasn’t too much to ask.
“No, I still need to rush to the hotel to see if there’s anything I need to help with,” Xiao Mo replied.
“I see, then… Xiao Mo, can I ask you for a favor?” Xu Chaomu looked at him with a pleading gaze.
“As long as I can do it,” Xiao Mo replied.
“Could you please go find Chenglang and reassure him…” Xu Chaomu said.
To avoid entanglements and unnecessary misunderstandings, she couldn’t go see Nie Chenglang herself at this sensitive time, but she was worried about him drinking too much, especially since he had lived abroad for so many years and had few friends in C City.
When they were in Paris, he took such good care of her, and now, she couldn’t possibly abandon him.
Xiao Mo nodded: “I can.”
“Thank you,” Xu Chaomu sincerely appreciated Xiao Mo’s help.
“No need to be polite with me.”
Just then, the butler came out, seeing Xu Chaomu returning, he stood by the car ready to receive her.
Xu Chaomu waved to Xiao Mo: “Then I won’t keep you any longer. Next time, I will definitely treat you to a meal.”
“Be careful getting out.”
“No worries, I’m pretty clever,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile, and then she opened the car door.
