Trillionaire's Slice of Life

"Do you think I believe you?" The voice was cool with a touch of playfulness echoing in his ears. The girl with long hair that reached the ground had a smile in her eyes; she seemed like a carefree sprite dancing gracefully in Chu Mo's heart. Chu Mo gently opened his mouth as he wanted to say something in defense, but nothing came out in the end. After a moment, Chu Mo said casually with a relaxed expression: "What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?" As the words fell, although Chu Mo appeared calm, his heartbeat couldn't help but race, as anxious as he had been when waiting for his college entrance exam results during his senior year of high school. The long-haired girl named Yu Junjun still had a smiling face. She tucked a playful lock of hair behind her ear again as those sparkling eyes that seemed able to see through someone's heart watched Chu Mo with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. After a pause, the girl who had stood up from the pavilion walked over to the flowerbed by the side of the road. Crouching down, she stretched out her delicate fingertips to gently touch the vibrant petals and spoke with her back to Chu Mo: "My family is very strict. They don't allow me to date at school, and just by chance, I don't have a strong rebellious streak, so I've followed my family's arrangements... However, in a while, they will probably arrange a marriage for me. Although our family isn't the top of the top, we're not bad either. They will definitely find me a suitable match." Chu Mo's eyes were bright, and the rapid beating of his heart slowly calmed down. He stood up as well, and just like that, quietly followed behind her. As the girl stood up, the two walked along the path by the river with dozens of black-clad bodyguards consciously keeping their distance behind. As the sun began to set in the west, the silhouettes of the man and woman walking side by side were stretched long, very long. "What do you plan to do in the future? Take over the family business or become a full-time housewife?" It might have been the weather, but there weren't many people in the park. The two of them walked slowly, transitioning from one following the other to walking side by side. Except for his buddy Li Fei, Chu Mo seldom talked about such personal matters with others. He felt that the girl beside him was special, that in her presence, he could shed the impatience in his heart and become peaceful and quiet. With her hands clasped behind her back and unlike most young girls, the long-haired girl didn't carry a bag. Her hands were empty as she too gently looked down at her toes and said in a clear voice: "I have two older brothers. They are both far better than I am, so taking over the family business will definitely not fall to me. Also, if you're approaching me for my family's fortune, then you're bound to be disappointed. I have no interest in those things!" The long-haired girl had a hint of mirth in her eyes, her voice playful as she spoke. Chu Mo immediately laughed without a word. Yu's family wasn't even among the top families in the city, let alone being compared with the four big families; their assets might not even exceed ten billion. Such a family could be wiped out by Chu Mo in a single sentence. Not to mention the spokespeople by his side worth hundreds of billions, even the Centurion cards he had given to Qing Guo and Qing Cheng sisters had more money in them than the entire Yu family by several times. In order for Chu Mo to even take notice, it would have to be a family of the caliber of Su Zhengxiong at least. For a family like the Yus with assets in the tens of billions, it was about the cost of two of Chu Mo's yachts, barely worth the brainpower. Chu Mo didn't argue; he just slightly curled the corners of his mouth, while the girl beside him covered her mouth and chuckled lightly. She had come to know a bit about Chu Mo's identity and naturally his net worth. Taking a gentle breath and with a slightly shy expression, Yu Junjun said: "Actually... I really like singing. My biggest dream when I was a child was to be a big star. Only, that wish was destined not to come true, so I've never told anyone!" Chu Mo raised his eyebrows, his voice gentle as he said: "Since that's the case, I'll tell you one of my secrets in return. My biggest wish isn't to become a wealthy magnate but to become a writer. Although I've already achieved this wish now and am not famous, it has indeed been fulfilled for me. So now, I am very relaxed, and you should be too. If you like singing, just go sing. You don't have to care so much about what others think; even if there is only one audience member, as long as you are happy, that's all that matters!" "Are you hinting that you want me to sing for you, the one and only audience?" Chu Mo was stunned, he hadn't had the idea originally, but as the other party brought it up, an itch inevitably arose in his heart, so he didn't deny it but instead nodded very seriously: "I don't know if I'll have the honor! Miss Yu, you might not know this, but I own an entertainment company, and under me, there are several top-tier superstars, among them Sun Qing, Ding Xiaoni, and Wang Tuo — they're all signed with our label. If your singing can move me, I can take on packaging you, and I guarantee to make you into a big star!" Chu Mo's earnest face made the girl by his side, who had originally been half-incredulous, gradually become solemn. Every girl has a dream of becoming a star, and this is absolutely true. Although Yu Junjun was a young lady from a wealthy family, this did not stop her from dreaming of stardom. After a moment's hesitation, she took a deep breath, as if making up her mind, and the long-haired girl said seriously: "Then I'll just sing casually, please don't laugh at me if it's not good!" Waiting for Chu Mo to nod in full anticipation, the girl beside him suddenly stopped in her tracks. She gently closed her eyes, as if she was brewing something. When she reopened her dazzling eyes, Chu Mo found the girl's entire demeanor seemed to have changed. With just a slight glance in his direction, Chu Mo felt as if his soul had been hooked away by her. In this moment, the flowers and the river before Chu Mo's eyes, the path under his feet, even the surrounding woods seemed to disappear, leaving only the stunning, long-haired beauty in front of him. Then, amidst Chu Mo's eager anticipation, the girl, who had appeared innocent and radiant, suddenly exuded a chilling presence that made one's heart tremble. The next moment, with Chu Mo's eyes wide open, enchanting and melodious sounds — like music from the heavens — drifted to his ears. "... That laughter reminds me of my flowers Quietly blooming for me in every corner of my life I once thought I would always stand by her side Today we have parted in the vast sea of people Have they all aged? Where are they now? ...!" The somewhat desolate yet ethereal and solitary voice echoed continuously by the ear, and the flowers blooming brilliantly all around the riverbank seemed to be drawn by that beautiful heavenly music. On the distant river surface, small fish leaped out of the water, leaving behind ripples upon ripples. At the end of the nearby path, a delicate-looking girl who had come by chance suddenly stopped. The song echoing in her ears caused her mouth to gape slightly as she moved forward unconsciously. As the celestial voice became clearer, the pretty-faced girl gently halted her steps and then looked intently toward this side without blinking her eyes. By the cold and breezy riverbank, with a slight breeze coming forth, a train of long hair fluttered slightly. Accompanied by the girl's emotive singing, the entire park seemed to have quieted down at this moment. And amidst this heavenly song, Chu Mo's eyes were already wide open, completely filled with an infatuated expression.
