Chapter 534 Wish Comes True_2
The weather today was very clear, and the bright sunshine illuminated the entire city. From this height, looking downward, Chu Mo even felt like he was stepping on the whole city beneath his feet.
Soon, a waiter brought up a lavish breakfast.
During his time at Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One, every day the chef would prepare a dozen rich breakfast dishes for Chu Mo, which over time cultivated a more discerning palate. He casually picked up a small steamed bun and, upon tasting it, nodded in satisfaction.
The flavor was the same as the chef's at home, and Chu Mo even wondered if his own chef had come here to make breakfast for him. If not, it could only mean that the Tianxiang Garden's chef had consulted his family's chef when cooking.
Chu Mo didn't care about these minor details; as long as he enjoyed his meal, that was enough.
By the time he finished his meal and the waiter was clearing the table, Chu Mo picked up his phone to check the time. It was already 9:30 in the morning, yet the person upstairs still hadn't gotten up.
Leaving just like that seemed a bit inconsiderate, and with nothing better to do, Chu Mo picked up his phone to casually browse. Soon, he noticed an unread WeChat message.
It was from Tao Yun.
As his secret lover, Tao Yun would run to Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One every ten or fifteen days. Over time, Chu Mo developed different feelings for this junior girl. Although her initial purpose for approaching him wasn't pure, being merely for money, after spending so much time together, Chu Mo gradually came to understand the young lady's nature.
Tao Yun was not the fickle type. When she initially approached him, it was due to the stimulus of her roommate Zhou Yuanyuan and her archrival Song Xiaoxi. Once she started seeing Chu Mo, she never approached other men, even though, with her 94-point beauty score, she certainly wasn't lacking for suitors. But when those immature boys were compared to Chu Mo, a top-level boss able to decide the fate of the entire city with a wave of his hand, she lost all interest.
Now, Tao Yun's feelings toward Chu Mo were not just romantic love but also a young girl's admiration for a powerful figure and various complex emotions.
Chu Mo didn't mistreat her, either; her allowance was always issued by the tens of thousands, and he could send expensive gifts worth hundreds of thousands without batting an eye. In such circumstances, it was impossible for Tao Yun to even think of betraying him.
With a smile at the corner of his eyes, Chu Mo tapped to open the young girl's WeChat message.
However, what caught his eye was a photo. The person in the photo wasn't Tao Yun herself but Zhou Yuanyuan, the campus belle from the University of Science and Technology, the girl that Chu Mo initially wanted to pursue.
The photo's timestamp suggested it was just taken recently, and it seemed to be at the school's basketball court. In it, Zhou Yuanyuan wore a simple, elegant white dress, looking as fresh and unworldly as a fairy from the sky. But what really surprised Chu Mo was the presence of a sun-kissed young man at Zhou Yuanyuan's side, holding a basketball, standing in front of her, smiling and chatting warmly.
Chu Mo casually browsed through the photo; although it only captured half of Zhou Yuanyuan's side profile, the slight upturn at the corner of her mouth seemed to indicate that the girl might have taken a liking to the basketball-playing young man.
Chu Mo didn't say much, just typed a greeting on the screen and hit send.
On the other end of the phone, Tao Yun was obviously waiting for Chu Mo's reply; as soon as he sent his message, it showed she was typing a response.
Quickly, the young girl sent a long message.
"Chu Brother, didn't you ask me to keep an eye on Yuan Yuan and Xin'er? Xin'er is no problem--every day she's either in the classroom, dormitory, or library, practically turning into a bookworm, and no boy dares to pay her any mind. But Yuan Yuan's situation is a bit worrying.
You know, Yuan Yuan is the campus belle of the University of Science and Technology, with countless suitors; almost every day, someone confesses their feelings to her. But you've seen it too, the boy in the photo is a bit different.
His name is Li Qiang, the school's heartthrob. He used to be in a relationship with another campus belle, but they broke up a while ago, and then this Li Qiang set his sights on Yuan Yuan. As you can see, this guy has been relentlessly pursuing Yuan Yuan recently. If it was before, Yuan Yuan would've rejected him long ago, but now, even I can't figure out what Yuan Yuan is really thinking...
Chu Brother, you should come to the campus to see for yourself. Otherwise, I'm afraid Yuan Yuan might be whisked away!"
The message ended with a string of pitiful emojis.
Chu Mo shook his head slightly, not really taking the matter to heart at all.
If this were before, he indeed had some interest in Zhou Yuanyuan and would naturally not allow such a pretty boy to get close to her.
But now, having experienced more and surrounded by many outstanding women, he could confidently say that if he so much as beckoned, even A-list celebrities would throw themselves into his arms. His zeal for pursuing girls just wasn't there anymore.
Although Zhou Yuanyuan was beautiful and the school beauty of the University of Science and Technology, to be honest, compared to the world's number one goddess Ding Qian from Shi Yuan Entertainment, even the maid named Shi Ya we just encountered upstairs isn't any less attractive.
Chu Mo wouldn't even need to lift a finger; just one look and the maid with the 98-point beauty score would appear before him tonight.
Therefore, Zhou Yuanyuan could no longer stir Chu Mo's heart and naturally, he had no interest in Tao Yun's shock and awe.
Putting away his phone, the image of Lei Ting flashed through Chu Mo's mind.
Compared to a Zhou Yuanyuan, Chu Mo cared more about what attitude this Great Grandmaster held.
Lei Ting and the female magnate Liu Manli grew up together like childhood sweethearts, and Lei Ting even came to his side for Liu Manli's sake, willing to be his bodyguard.
Chu Mo didn't believe for a second that Lei Ting held no affection for Liu Manli.
Having gotten involved with Liu Manli last night in a daze, if Lei Ting found out, Chu Mo wondered if this Great Grandmaster would leave him.
Truth be told, if Chu Mo had to choose between Lei Ting and Liu Manli, he would not hesitate to choose the former.
After all, even though Liu Manli was a wealthy woman with a net worth of 270 billion, that was merely the worth of one of his endorsers, hardly worth mentioning; at least for Chu Mo with his limitless money, the female magnate's attraction was indeed very limited.
On the contrary, as Hua Country's newly recognized Martial Arts Great Grandmaster, ranked sixth in the nation's martial strength, such a person would never serve any power unless by some fortunate coincidence. Not just Chu Mo, even if the eight great families approached personally, it would be impossible to willingly make a Martial Arts Great Grandmaster become a bodyguard.
Although Chu Mo also had Jiang Dingnan, another Great Grandmaster, at his side, the latter wasn't usually in the city, and even if Chu Mo really needed his help, the old man might not necessarily stand by him; after all, to put it bluntly, they were merely partners.
If it weren't for Jiang Rourou, Jiang Dingnan might not even give him a second glance.
Lei Ting was Chu Mo's strongest force protection. If he were to lose Lei Ting for someone like Liu Manli, Chu Mo would really feel it was not worthwhile.
As he was inwardly troubled, the private elevator opened again, and the figure of Liu Manli reappeared before his eyes.
Now, Liu Manli had changed into a casual blue dress, her long hair coiled up high at the back of her head, revealing her slender, snow-white neck, making her look as charming and elegant as a noble swan.
With her confidence and composure restored, Liu Manli slowly approached him. Her eyes were clear, and she seemed as vibrant and stunning as a butterfly fluttering about.
Chu Mo looked up, his voice carrying a smile as he said:
"What would you like to eat? I'll have the chef prepare something for you!"
The elegant woman in front of him shook her head slightly, her gaze toward Chu Mo compared to yesterday, seemed to hold an extra sparkle. Taking a light breath, the graceful woman with breath as fragrant as orchids crisply replied:
"I don't eat in the mornings, just a glass of milk is fine. I already had milk upstairs. I won't go anywhere for the next three days, I will stay by your side.
Young Master Chu, do you have any plans?"
Chu Mo arched an eyebrow, looking at the radiant smile on the woman's face. Suddenly, he recalled a grand wish that he and his buddy Li Fei had made over skewers at a street food stall one year ago.
How great it would be if he could be kept by a female magnate.
And now, what was once a joking promise, had come true a year later.
Chu Mo wondered what expression Li Fei would have if he knew.
