Chapter 136: To Tell You Something

Moments later, Du Feng returned.

“Do you need something else?”

Xu Shaochen raised an eyebrow.

Du Feng respectfully handed an invitation to Xu Shaochen, saying, “Mr. Xu, in a few days, it will be my daughter’s 18th birthday. I humbly extend this invitation, and I hope Mr. Xu can grace us with your presence.”

This was something Du Jun had just reminded him of, and it had slipped his mind earlier.

There’s no problem with his son having a conflict with Xu Shaochen.

If he could play matchmaker between Xu Shaochen and his daughter,

even if she were just his mistress, the Du family’s standing in Xu Shaochen’s eyes would increase significantly.

If Xu Shaochen’s identity was what he suspected, his daughter would not be disgraced by becoming Xu Shaochen’s mistress.

After all, if he wasn’t willing, there were others eager to offer their daughters to Xu Shaochen.

“I’ll definitely be there.”

Xu Shaochen accepted the invitation. Since the Du family had just aligned with him, it would be demoralizing to reject Du Feng’s invitation.

The red invitation was luxurious, with a thin, purple-gold border.

“Then, I’ll await your gracious presence, Mr. Xu.”

Du Feng smiled. The first step was complete, making the rest much easier.

After all, he was confident in his daughter’s beauty and figure, certain that Xu Shaochen would be interested.

Du Feng left once more, but this time, there was more joy on his face.

“Tsk tsk, rich perverts really are something. This invitation could feed me for a week!”

Mei Liangxin couldn’t help but marvel at the luxurious invitation.

“It’s not that extravagant.” Xu Shaochen chuckled, shaking his head, “You overestimate yourself. You can’t spend that much in a week because you’re too poor to even have that much.”

Mei Liangxin: “…”

He felt as though a long sword had pierced through his chest, leaving his heart cold and desolate.

“Brother, the truth really cuts deep!” After dinner, Mei Liangxin and the two others left.

Xu Shaochen sent Liu Rushuang back to the company before heading to school.

………

In the office.

“What were you up to again?” Zhao Qingyu looked at Xu Shaochen helplessly.

She was starting to feel like Xu Shaochen was less of a student and more like someone just casually touring the school.

“Teacher Zhao, my company opened today. As the chairman, I had to make an appearance, right?”

Xu Shaochen replied with a grin, his gaze falling on Zhao Qingyu’s legs.

Today, Zhao Qingyu wore a white knee-length skirt without stockings. Her pale, slender legs looked flawless under the light, and her feet were adorned with black high-heeled sandals, her delicate toes painted a bright red, lined up like tiny silk worms.

“How big can the company be if you’re the chairman?”

Feeling Xu Shaochen’s heated gaze, Zhao Qingyu blushed and pulled her feet back, pouting in disbelief.

She figured Xu Shaochen likely started a small company, and giving himself the title of chairman was just too exaggerated.

“Teacher Zhao, that’s not right. Even a small bird has a complete set of organs!”

Xu Shaochen didn’t elaborate further. His company was far from small, barely qualifying as top-tier.

“Alright, alright, get out of here. Hold back your flirtations, or you’ll fail your finals.”

Zhao Qingyu waved him off impatiently, primarily because Xu Shaochen’s gaze made her feel as though he could see through her clothes.

“Teacher Zhao, has anyone ever told you something?”

Xu Shaochen stopped just as he was about to leave.

“What is it?” Zhao Qingyu’s beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.

Xu Shaochen smiled slightly: “Your legs are the absolute best. Just having your feet exposed makes others want to commit crimes.”

“Clunk!”

Before he could finish, a book flew towards him, which Xu Shaochen deftly caught.

“Teacher Zhao, I’ll just leave this book here. You can take it yourself. Goodbye.”

Xu Shaochen placed the book on a nearby chair and then left the office.

“Go to hell, you jerk!”

Zhao Qingyu’s face was reddened, her chest rising and falling with anger.

But soon, a thought popped into her head: Were her legs really that beautiful?

No wonder this little rascal always stared at her legs… or her feet. Turns out he had something nefarious in mind.

The more Zhao Qingyu thought about it, the redder her face became. She suddenly felt a bit guilty, as if her feet had nowhere to hide.

………

“Hubby, is everything okay?”

Xie Wei, waiting outside the office, hurried over when she saw Xu Shaochen exit.

“I’m fine. Teacher Zhao just gave me a verbal warning to skip fewer classes.”

Xu Shaochen wrapped his arms around her, speaking nonchalantly.

“Really?”

Xie Wei seemed a little doubtful. She had heard Zhao Qingyu call Xu Shaochen a jerk just now, but her tone sounded more like she was being coy.

She shook her head, casting aside the absurd thoughts. Surely, she was imagining things. There was no way Teacher Zhao would act like that.

Besides, she had something else to say to Xu Shaochen, but she couldn’t find the words.

Noticing Xie Wei’s hesitant expression, Xu Shaochen frowned and asked, “Is there something you want to tell me? Why hesitate with me?”

“Hubby, my mom wants me to go on a blind date, but don’t worry, my body and heart are only yours. It doesn’t mean anything.”

Xie Wei looked at Xu Shaochen nervously, her pale hands clenching each other tightly.

She was waiting for his response.

“Then go.” Xu Shaochen casually replied.

Xie Wei felt a pang of disappointment and nodded, “Okay.”

“But I’ll go with you.” Xu Shaochen added.

The disappointment in Xie Wei’s eyes vanished instantly, replaced with excitement. She couldn’t help but stand on tiptoe and kiss Xu Shaochen right there in the hall.

The people walking by felt like a stampede of wild horses was trampling through their hearts.

What did us single folks do to deserve this? Public slaughter of us poor souls? Where’s the animal rights activists when you need them!

Finally, they pulled apart.

Xie Wei wiped the lipstick off Xu Shaochen’s lips and smiled, “Hubby, you’re the best.”

That was exactly what she had been hoping to hear. It meant Xu Shaochen cared about her, that he didn’t just see her as a release tool.

With that thought, she suddenly found it easier to accept Xu Shaochen’s more extreme requests in bed.

For instance, when he asked her to call him ‘Daddy’.

“Of course, you’re my woman. Who else would I be good to?”

Xu Shaochen gently stroked her hair.

Xie Wei leaned into his embrace, closing her eyes like a contented kitten. This was her favorite feeling, and it gave her a deep sense of security.
