Chapter 702: Your Son’s Charm Is Too Great

Xu Shaochen sat on the toilet playing on his Phone while calculating the time.

His mom always goes to bed early, as most elderly people do, so in about half an hour, he’d be able to head out.

As for Little Wealth, it was squatting at his feet, tugging on his pant leg, wanting to go out.

“Move aside.”

Xu Shaochen heartlessly kicked away the culprit behind his declining family status.

Logically speaking, I’m giving you a bath right now, so how could I let you out before I’m done?

What’s worse is that this dumb dog is actually wearing a new outfit.

Du Ruyan bought it for him when she went shopping today.

Mind you, Du Ruyan and the others haven’t bought him new clothes in ages.

And this dumb dog has peed in the house several times. When Xu Shaochen scolds it, he ends up getting scolded by a group of women, as if he’s on trial.

Taking it in the first place was absolutely a mistake.

Other than being cute and a big eater, it’s completely useless.

It just goes to show, whether it’s people or dogs, looks really matter.

Half an hour later.

Seeing that the timing was about right, Xu Shaochen picked up Little Wealth and stepped out of the bathroom.

As soon as he came out, he froze.

The figures of the women had already disappeared. All that was left in the large living room was his mom sitting alone on the sofa.

“Mom… why… why aren’t you asleep yet? Where are they?”

Xu Shaochen forced a rather stiff smile.

Li Xiaoli looked at him expressionlessly. “Didn’t you say you were giving the dog a bath? How is its fur already dry? And I didn’t even hear the hair dryer.”

“Oh, that… Mom, you should go to bed early. I’m tired from a full day’s work too, so I’m heading to bed now.”

After saying that, Xu Shaochen casually tossed Little Wealth aside, turned around, and tried to sneak off.

Hmm, that had a nice little rhyme to it.

“Stop right there! Come sit down. We need to have a serious talk today.”

Just as he turned to leave, his mom’s stern voice echoed in his ears.

“Oh, Mom, what do you want to talk about?”

Xu Shaochen sighed helplessly and obediently walked over, sitting opposite his mom.

“Can you explain to me what’s going on with those nine girls just now?” Li Xiaoli asked with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

Xu Shaochen shrugged, giving up, “What else could it be? Your son’s just too charming.”

“Bah! What’s going through that head of yours? Huh? Tell me, how do you plan to handle it? Two of them are pregnant. What’s your plan?”

Li Xiaoli pressed a finger against Xu Shaochen’s forehead, both angry and frustrated at her son’s behavior. As a conservative woman, she was annoyed and helpless when it came to her son’s actions.

“Mom, so what am I supposed to do?” Xu Shaochen threw the ball back in her court.

“You…” Li Xiaoli was speechless. Indeed, how would she know how to handle it? Separate them? Is that even possible?

After a moment, she huffed angrily, “How would I know what to do with all this mess!”

“There you have it! If you don’t know what to do, then just leave it to me. No need to worry about it anymore.”

Xu Shaochen grinned, shamelessly exhibiting a thick-skinned attitude, showing neither pride nor shame.

“You used to be so obedient. How did you become like this? It really is true that men turn bad once they have money. You’re going to be the death of me, you brat!”

Li Xiaoli stormed off upstairs, not wanting to see Xu Shaochen any longer, afraid she’d die of anger if she stayed.

“That’s not gonna happen, Mom. You’re going to live a long life and enjoy prosperity. Just wait to see your house filled with grandchildren.”

Xu Shaochen smiled as he watched his mom’s back.

Doesn’t he know what to do with all these women in the house?

He’d been preparing for this for a while.

That’s why he specially bought an island in the Pacific, considering this exact situation.

When the island is fully developed, it can be turned into a tourist destination. Once more people settle in and all the facilities are complete, it will be a fully modernized city.

Eventually, he could bring all these women to live on the island. As for children’s education, is that even something to worry about?

He had plans to visit the island the next time he went to Mg Country and pick out a suitable location to build a castle.

That castle was going to be the island’s landmark, where he would live a life as a legitimate king.

Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it got him a little excited.

Xu Shaochen tiptoed upstairs and entered Zhao Qingyu’s room, ready to properly ‘reward’ his teacher from the student’s perspective.

In the past, Zhao Qingyu would feel a bit embarrassed. Nowadays, with just a look or a slap from Xu Shaochen, she knew what posture to switch to.

Afterward…

“What do you think about me quitting my job when the next semester starts?”

Zhao Qingyu lay in Xu Shaochen’s arms. Despite being older than Xu Shaochen by several years, she acted like a coquettish young girl.

No matter how old a woman is, she’s always a little girl in front of the man she loves.

“Why quit? The job’s pretty nice. It’s not tiring either.”

Xu Shaochen asked, a little confused.

Zhao Qingyu’s brow furrowed as she looked at him suspiciously. “Don’t tell me you think my identity as your teacher makes things more exciting?”

“Of course not! Do you think I’m that shallow?” Xu Shaochen flatly denied it. That was the truth. At first, the thought had excited him, but after a while, it wasn’t that big of a deal anymore.

After all, there’s an old saying.

Every unattainable goddess has a guy who’s so tired of sleeping with her he could throw up.

Zhao Qingyu pursed her lips and said, “Then why don’t you want me to quit? I’m still a teacher, after all. Isn’t it inappropriate to be cuddling with you at school? I don’t appreciate hearing people gossip.”

“Alright, it’s up to you. If you don’t want to work when school starts again, you should quit early so the school can find someone to replace you.”

Xu Shaochen nodded, agreeing to respect her decision.

“Mwah.”

Zhao Qingyu kissed Xu Shaochen on the cheek and said, “I’ve already made up my mind. Once I quit, I’ll stay at home and draw comics, fulfilling my childhood dream.”

That statement highlights an important truth: Dreams are a privilege only for those who don’t lack money. When you lack money, all you can think about is survival.

Actually, it’s more accurate to say ‘survival’.

When you’re broke, you’re too exhausted from working like a dog to even think about your dreams. Your only objective is to survive in society.

“I support you.”

Xu Shaochen said sincerely. When it comes to his woman chasing her dreams, of course, he gives his full support.

“Ah! What are you doing?”

“Didn’t I say I’d support you?”

“Get lost, you jerk! Idiot, scumbag, I don’t want that kind of support!”

Once again, the room was filled with passion until the middle of the night when things finally quieted down.
