Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chu Mo turned his head and glanced at the mature woman beside him; Liu Manli was also staring attentively at him, her eyes clear with no hint of displeasure.

He shifted his gaze away and, with a slight curve of his lips, spoke indifferently,

"You don't seem to be jealous. Shouldn't the average girl make a scene in this situation?"

On the basketball court, the handsome player who had scored another dunk raised his hands high. His teammates gathered around him, everyone looking proud on his behalf.

At that moment, the charming young man couldn't help but turn his attention towards the spectator stands on the outskirts of the basketball court, where Zhou Yuanyuan, the top beauty of the University of Science and Technology, was also watching the game seriously.

As Chu Mo's words fell, the mature woman beside him not only showed no dissatisfaction but responded with a smile,

"Any woman with a bit of self-awareness knows that there couldn't possibly be just one woman beside you, Mr. Chu. Without this realization, there would be no point in staying by your side.

Moreover, the relationship between Mr. Chu and me is simply mutually beneficial. I need your protection, as well as to leave outstanding genes for my family, and you happen to be the right candidate, Mr. Chu."

Chu Mo slightly raised an eyebrow, having understood the message in the woman's words.

In fact, the relationship between Liu Manli and himself was merely one of mutual benefit. Once she left Modu, it would be best if there were no emotional entanglements between them. Chu Mo understanding that not disturbing her life was what she most desired.

As Chu Mo was inwardly reflecting, the handsome youth across suddenly walked towards the crowd. He stepped up to Zhou Yuanyuan, and then the young man, his face covered in sweat, said something in her ear with a smile.

What surprised Chu Mo somewhat was that the school beauty, who usually maintained a distance from the boys, didn't react much this time.

Liu Manli beside him suddenly curved her lips, saying with a smile,

"Mr. Chu, if you don't make a move soon, your little girlfriend might be snatched away by someone else."

Tao Yun next to Zhou Yuanyuan immediately turned her gaze towards Chu Mo. The young girl was anxiously looking at him, seemingly more concerned about Zhou Yuanyuan's love interest than about Chu Mo.

Chu Mo just curled his lips. Honestly, from the perspective of an onlooker, Zhou Yuanyuan, with her enchanting beauty, and that fine-looking young man seemed quite a match. If the two were to get together, everyone would probably see them as a couple truly matched in beauty and talent, an enviable pair.

Yet after all, Zhou Yuanyuan was someone who had once moved Chu Mo's heart. Even though he no longer had much feeling for her now, seeing a young guy flirting with her right before his eyes irked him somewhat.

Just as Chu Mo's brow furrowed slightly, Liu Manli next to him suddenly said,

"No girl can refuse a man who works hard for her. Mr. Chu, if you still have feelings for that Zhou Yuanyuan, why don't you compete against your rival on the court now?

Two men competing for a girl, even if you lose, I believe it will definitely leave a deep impression in the girl's heart."

Liu Manli's eyes glistened, evidently eager to see Chu Mo hit the court.

But Chu Mo remained entirely unmoved at the moment.

On one hand, it had been a long time since he last touched a basketball, and his skills had gotten much rustier. Even at his peak, he was at best on the level of the side characters on the court, nowhere near good enough to beat that dashing young man.

On the other, with Chu Mo's current status, a simple word from him could shake the whole Modu. His casual presence on campus, even the president of the University of Science and Technology would greet him respectfully.

The gap between his status and that of the young man on the basketball court was already insurmountable. For Chu Mo to take the court, his opponent would at least need to be one of the leaders of the eight great families or one of the heads of the four great families of Modu – only then would it be somewhat equitable.

As for the young man named Li Qiang, he didn't have the slightest interest.

However, seeing the smug look on the face of the handsome young man in front of Zhou Yuanyuan still annoyed Chu Mo.

He suddenly turned around, and Fan Gao's towering figure immediately appeared behind him.

Looking up slightly, Chu Mo instructed his bodyguard captain,

"Find a younger-looking bodyguard, let him take the field, and take special care of that kid!"

Fan Gao, being just a step away from the peak of a Great Grandmaster and almost a true Grandmaster, did not hesitate at all. Upon receiving Chu Mo's order, he immediately nodded respectfully.

A moment later, Fan Gao respectfully left the crowd.

After Fan Gao disappeared, Liu Manli, who had witnessed everything, suddenly laughed,

"Mr. Chu, aren't you being a bit too harsh? That young man is just good at basketball, but after all, he's just an ordinary person. Your bodyguards are all at least B-level in strength; letting a second-class Martial Artist take on a youngster is something only Mr. Chu would do."

Liu Manli's eyes sparkled with amusement, causing Chu Mo to feel somewhat uncomfortable. He avoided looking at the female tycoon beside him and instead focused on the basketball court.
