Chapter 249: Chapter 147: The Fiancée Calls Off the Wedding! Leaves the Country with Her Girlfriend

"Hi. Well, I won’t disturb your date any longer. I’m heading out, Chen Mo."

Zhao Yalan, perceptive as ever, waved to Chen Mo before getting into her car and driving home.

"Chen Mo, thank you!"

After Zhao Yalan left, Wei Luyao could no longer suppress her gratitude. Her beautiful eyes, brimming with affection, gazed at Chen Mo as she thanked him.

"You’re my girlfriend. Who else would I help?"

Chen Mo glanced at her and affectionately stroked her head.

Today, she was wearing the same outfit she had on when they first met.

A white blouse on top, a black pleated miniskirt on the bottom.

She wore a pair of low-heeled black leather shoes and carried a canvas tote bag.

One lock of her beautiful hair cascaded over her shoulder, while another fell across her chest.

Combined with her fair, rosy-cheeked face, it was no exaggeration to call her the prettiest woman at Chengli.

"When did I agree to be your girlfriend...?"

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Wei Luyao’s pretty face flushed red. She lowered her head slightly, speaking in a demure, shy voice.

"You don’t want to? Fine, then forget it."

The corner of Chen Mo’s mouth curved up as he spoke with feigned indifference.

"I do! Who said I didn’t...?"

When she heard Chen Mo say "forget it," she grew anxious and quickly raised her head to look at him.

Seeing the teasing smile on his face, she instantly understood that he was deliberately messing with her.

"You’re terrible!"

She stomped her foot in flustered annoyance.

"Did you forget something?"

Chen Mo stared at her alluring, rosy lips and asked meaningfully.

"What? Oh..."

She was about to ask what he meant, but she immediately remembered what Chen Mo had told her last time.

A kiss when they meet, and a goodbye kiss when they part.

She was a little shy, but thinking about how well Chen Mo treated her and how much he had helped her, she decided to take the initiative, even if it was embarrassing.

Wei Luyao moved close to Chen Mo, stood lightly on her toes, and planted a kiss on his lips.

"Good girl."

Chen Mo pinched her slightly flushed cheek, and then the two of them got into the car.

VROOM~

Stepping on the gas, Chen Mo drove out of the underground garage.

After Chen Mo left, a few Chengli employees who had been gossiping from the sidelines gathered together.

"So, her boyfriend knows Lawyer Zhao, and that’s why he moved her to his team?"

"It’s more than just ’knowing’ him. He wouldn’t have gone this far otherwise."

"That must be it. I knew it. There was no other reason."

"All the young guys at the firm are going to be heartbroken."

"So it’s true, the best opportunities spread like HIV."

Having witnessed the entire scene, they finally understood why Lawyer Zhao was willing to personally mentor an intern.

After driving out of the garage, Chen Mo first took her to a mall for a meal.

"Come on, I’ll take you to buy some clothes."

Chen Mo planned to take her shopping in the mall.

"But I have clothes."

She said, linking her arm with his and looking up at him.

"You have to dress more formally for work. You can’t just wear a JK uniform."

’She doesn’t seem to have much formal wear,’ Chen Mo thought. ’I’ll buy her a few OL-style suits.’

"That’s true."

Wei Luyao stuck out her tongue playfully. She really didn’t have much formal attire.

But as for JK outfits... she had plenty of those.

Afterward, Chen Mo bought her several outfits that were formal but not overly corporate.

They were similar in style to what she was currently wearing.

After they finished shopping, Chen Mo drove her back to school.

When the 911 stopped at the school gate, Wei Luyao saw the smile on Chen Mo’s face. She didn’t even need him to say anything to know he was waiting for his goodbye kiss.

She unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned her upper body toward him.

Looking at Chen Mo, who was just inches away, she once again initiated a kiss.

’It seems that after taking the initiative a few times, it’s not so embarrassing anymore.’

’Kissing doesn’t seem like such a big deal now.’

However, Chen Mo’s next move was a bit too much for her.

Because while they were kissing, the hand he had previously placed on her fair, slender legs moved somewhere new today.

It had moved to the highlands.

This left her completely stunned, her mind instantly going blank.

In the end, she didn’t even remember how she got out of the car.

Carrying several shopping bags, she walked back to her dorm on autopilot, just like a bot.

Chen Mo drove along the elevated highway.

The driver’s side window slowly rolled down, and he stuck his left hand out.

He opened his palm, constantly adjusting how wide his hand was and the speed of the car.

Facing the evening breeze, he seemed to be trying to figure out the exact speed and hand position...

...that would replicate the feeling from just now.

...

「The next morning.」

Chen Mo ran a few laps around the lake in his villa community, took a shower, and had some breakfast.

DING~

Just then, his phone chimed.

He picked it up, and his eyebrows shot up in surprise.

It was a WeChat message from Chen Shuwan.

They had added each other on WeChat when they first met but had never spoken.

’Why is she suddenly messaging me?’

"Chen Mo, my female bestie—um, you can think of her as my girlfriend—and I have gone abroad together. We’re not in the country anymore."

"So, I have to break off our engagement. I’m sorry."

Chen Mo opened the chat and read the messages from Chen Shuwan.

Seeing this, a wide, unconcealable smile spread across Chen Mo’s face.

’Breaking the engagement is great! This is fantastic!’

Chen Mo finally understood where his supposed "bad luck" was coming from. So, his fiancée was going to run off abroad with her girlfriend and break their engagement.

For most people, a broken engagement would be a bad thing.

But he had never wanted to get married in the first place, let alone to her.

So, from his perspective, this was a huge stroke of good fortune.

He had indeed suspected there was something up with Chen Shuwan and her "female bestie."

But he never expected her to be so bold as to just leave the country with her girlfriend.

Moreover, he suspected her parents knew about it too, which was why they had demanded a bride price ten times the norm and accepted his payment so quickly.

’Now let’s see how big the payout will be!’
