Chapter 417: Xu the Crafty Casanova

“Your male classmate… He’s pretty interesting.”

In the car, Xu Shaochen took a while before coming up with a fitting adjective.

Here, the word ‘interesting’ actually meant ‘dumb.’

Mei Liangying brushed her silky hair behind her ear and looked at Xu Shaochen with a playful glint in her eyes: “Are you getting jealous? He did pursue me back then.”

“Jealous? Hah.”

Xu Shaochen reacted as if he had just heard a joke, then retorted: “Does the winner need to be jealous of a loser? You were right to reject him back then. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have met someone as outstanding as me.”

Faced with Xu Shaochen’s brazen shamelessness, Mei Liangying was at a loss for words.

She suddenly understood why her brother and Xu Shaochen got along so well.

Because they were equally shameless.

“When are you going back to Jiangzhou? Should I relocate the company there?” Mei Liangying asked.

Xu Shaochen’s eyelid twitched, but he maintained his composure as he replied: “That would be too much trouble. Besides, it’s just a few hours by plane, not far at all. Also, I think a woman should have her own independent career rather than be reduced to a man’s accessory.”

“I thought someone like you would definitely have a macho attitude.” Mei Liangying was slightly surprised. Of course, she still preferred running her company in Songshan.

Xu Shaochen took her slender, jade-like hand: “Am I that shallow?”

Given Mei Liangying’s personality, if she went to Jiangzhou and discovered his other women, his life would no doubt turn into a living nightmare.

So, it was better to keep some distance between women. That way, he could enjoy whichever he wanted without worrying about things blowing up.

“Thank you,” Mei Liangying said softly, looking at Xu Shaochen. She was deeply touched by how much he understood her, unlike other men who couldn’t accept a woman running a business.

Xu Shaochen pulled her into his arms, a slight smile tugging at his lips where she couldn’t see. In a gentle and affectionate tone, he whispered: “Silly girl, do we need to say thank you between us? I’ll support whatever you like.”

Long Yi, who was driving, and Long Er, who was sitting in the passenger seat, exchanged glances and silently cursed Xu Shaochen in their hearts.

Only they knew what Xu Shaochen was really up to, while Mei Liangying looked completely moved.

Having been with Xu Shaochen for so long, they knew him well enough. Xu Shaochen was always adept at dealing with women.

For women with ordinary backgrounds and weak personalities, they tended to rely on him. Even if they discovered he was juggling multiple relationships, Xu Shaochen could easily make them accept it again.

And to gain more of Xu Shaochen’s love, they would become even more caring and obedient, because they had grown accustomed to depending on Xu Shaochen.

As for strong, independent women, Xu Shaochen’s strategy was to keep them from meeting each other. This way, he could avoid any complications, as these women had firm wills and were hard to convince to share a man.

Of course, Liu Rushuang was an exception. She could accept Xu Shaochen’s relationship with her sister Liu Ruxu since her sister was with him first. She was the one who came into the picture later.

But she didn’t know that Xu Shaochen had more than just the two sisters.

Long Yi and Long Er both sighed. If they had even a fraction of Xu Shaochen’s skills, they wouldn’t still be single.

“By the way, you haven’t told me when you plan to return to Jiangzhou.” Mei Liangying suddenly remembered her earlier question.

Xu Shaochen pondered for a moment before replying, “It depends. I want to spend a few more days with you.”

“I’ll prepare a surprise for you then. You’ll be shocked,” Mei Liangying said mysteriously, looking at Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen was so considerate of her feelings that she was deeply touched and didn’t want to be selfish.

So she made up her mind just now to relocate the headquarters to Jiangzhou, which would make it easier to spend time with Xu Shaochen. A branch office in Songshan would suffice.

But she didn’t plan to tell Xu Shaochen about it. After all, surprises aren’t surprises if you spill the beans.

She decided to start working on the relocation right now. Then she’d head to Jiangzhou early to pick up Xu Shaochen from the airport and surprise him.

If Xu Shaochen knew his recent words had backfired, who knows if he’d cough up blood from frustration.

Poor Xu Shaochen was feeling proud of himself for winning over another woman, blissfully unaware of the ‘surprise’ waiting for him when he returned to Jiangzhou.

After dropping Mei Liangying off at her place, they shared a goodbye kiss, and Xu Shaochen left.

“Boss, could you…teach us? We’ve never been in a relationship.”

Long Yi and Long Er turned their heads pitifully to look at Xu Shaochen. They’ve been with women, but never actually had a relationship.

“You guys?”

Xu Shaochen glanced at them, then shook his head: “You’re hopeless.”

“Why?” The two looked at each other and asked.

Xu Shaochen sighed and explained, “Everything I have now is built on four pillars: I have money, I have time, I know how to sweet-talk, and I’m gentle and considerate with substance. What do you guys have?”

The two exchanged glances, racking their brains in deep thought.

“Alright, stop thinking about it. All you have is a darn chicken. Keep driving. I’ll get each of you a wife someday.”

Xu Shaochen didn’t mince words, piercing them to the core. Two big rough men wanting to fall in love? That would scare any girl away.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with deep resentment. That hurt too much.

Because when you think about it, you’ll never realize how lame you are until you really think about it.

“Relax. Maybe someday you’ll find a woman who won’t mind you’re ugly, won’t mind you’re poor, and won’t want your house or car.”

Xu Shaochen gave them a glimmer of hope, though he kept another thought to himself: of course, she might not want you at all.

He decided not to destroy their hopes any further—they might lose all hope in life.

The two instantly brightened up, even fussily adjusting their hair in the rearview mirror.

Can you imagine two big guys striking a victory pose and taking a selfie in the mirror? Xu Shaochen couldn’t, so he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Such an eyesore.

The car had barely been on the road for five minutes when it came to a stop.

Xu Shaochen frowned and opened his eyes: “What’s going on?”

A bodyguard got out of the Mercedes in front, walked over, and saluted Xu Shaochen from outside the window.

Xu Shaochen rolled down the window.

“Boss, someone stopped the car and says they want to see you.”

The bodyguard reported respectfully, looking at Xu Shaochen.

“Wants to see me?”

Xu Shaochen was surprised for a moment before saying, “Okay, let them come over. I’d like to see who’s so eager to meet me.”

“Yes, boss.”

The bodyguard responded and quickly ran back.

A moment later.

Seeing the young man walking over, Xu Shaochen was somewhat surprised. He didn’t expect it to be this guy.
