Chapter 31: Chapter 031 He is Vulgar Beyond Endurance

After finishing the letter, Xu Chaomu’s face turned a bit red; she quickly put the letter back into the envelope and tucked it into her math book.

Although it was just another ordinary love letter, there were two lines in it that she had to admit stirred her heart upon reading.

“Missing you is like the full moon, every day and every night.”

Lou Yanli was acknowledged as a man of talent by everyone at school. It was said his calligraphy was extremely good, he could play the guitar, write poetry, and what’s more, he always ranked within the top three students for every exam.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t understand why Lou Yanli had taken an interest in her!

She was positive, today was not April Fool’s Day.

“Why is your face red? What did you write? This is from Lou, the great talent himself, personally handed to me!” Yu Weiwei thought Xu Chaomu would be excited, but her reaction seemed rather flat.

So many people at the school were after Lou Yanli—what kind of reaction was this from Xu Chaomu?

“It’s nothing, nothing, just stop being nosy, go read your ‘Male Health Manual’!”

“Let me have a look, won’t you? Are you not considering me a friend? Didn’t we agree to share our joys and face our troubles together?” Yu Weiwei said earnestly.

“It’s nothing much, he asked me out to watch a movie tomorrow,” Xu Chaomu replied indifferently.

“Dead jealous, someone asked you out! Our Chaomu is wanted by someone too! Go, go, go, you must go. Look at that arrogant Yao Yue, delivering love letters to Lou Yanli every day, yet he doesn’t even spare her a glance,” Yu Weiwei suddenly felt incredibly proud.

“Talking like I’m unwanted by everyone.”

Yu Weiwei rolled her eyes: “If it wasn’t for Lou Yanli being blind, you’d probably still be unwanted.”

“…” What happened to sharing joys and facing troubles together! This is not how you kick someone when they’re down!

The last class on Friday was biology, and while Yu Weiwei listened with gusto, Xu Chaomu’s mind had already flown back to the Shen’s house.

As the sky began to darken, Old Cheng came to pick Xu Chaomu up.

“Uncle Cheng, has Fourth Brother come back?” Xu Chaomu asked in the car. “Oh, no, Mr. Shen has to work overtime tonight and might not come back.”

“Not coming back? Did he leave any message for me?”

“Mr. Shen seemed very busy, he didn’t mention anything to me. It you miss him, you can give him a call.”

“He’s so busy, I’d rather not disturb him,” Xu Chaomu felt a bit unhappy.

Actually, she had been feeling unhappy since morning. He had hurt her last night, left for the Shen Group in the morning without saying a word, and hadn’t even mentioned the ball that evening, keeping it a secret from her alone.

Now he was using work as an excuse not to come back.

So, better not to bother him and avoid being called immature.

“Chaomu is back, just in time—I was about to head out! Have you decided whether you want to come with me or not?”

Liu Rumei was slipping on a white coat over a purple dress that accentuated her youthfulness with makeup applied.

She was carrying a beige handbag, ready to head towards the garage, but when she saw Xu Chaomu return, she stopped and gave her a slight smile.

“I’m not interested in balls; I have a lot of test papers to write, I won’t go,” Xu Chaomu said, headed straight for the house without looking up.

Liu Rumei grabbed her arm, “Are you afraid you’ll be upset seeing your Fourth

Brother dance with someone else?”

“What does him dancing with other people have to do with me?”

“Don’t say that; I don’t believe you could remain happy seeing him dance and drink with others. At the ball, there will be all sorts of women. If your Fourth Brother gets drunk, who knows, he might fall into the hands of one of them.” Liu Rumei spoke lightly, but her eyes were fixed on Xu Chaomu.

“He’s so mundane; the more beautiful and sexy they are, the more he likes them. He would love to have a beauty in each arm!” Xu Chaomu’s voice carried a sour tone.

“Actually, if our Chaomu dressed up, you’d be no less attractive than those women. They don’t have your youth, and you should know that youth is an asset.”

Xu Chaomu pursed her lips, saying nothing.

Liu Rumei pulled her into the makeup room, “Let me dress you up.”

Xu Chaomu didn’t refuse; in truth, she also wanted to see what the ball was like.

She had grown up, and Shen Chi had never taken her out, nor had she even been inside Shen Group. She wanted to see how he danced, and she wanted to dance with him even more.

Liu Rumei was a makeup expert; in no time, she applied a light makeup look for Xu Chaomu. Because Xu Chaomu had a bandage on the back of her head, she even specially tied a pink bow over it to cover it up.

She also personally picked out an off-shoulder white dress for Xu Chaomu, which looked elegantly simple, yet fresh and lovely.

Xu Chaomu had never dressed up so formally before; standing in front of the full-length mirror, she could barely recognize herself.

She wondered what Shen Chi’s reaction would be if he saw her.

“Put on these high heels,” Liu Rumei said, bringing over a pair of white diamond-studded high heels.

Xu Chaomu hesitated for a long time, wondering if Shen Chi would scold her for wearing high heels for the first time.

Forget it, once she got to the ball, she would just quietly sit in a corner, not say anything, and just watch him dance.

“When we get to the ball, I’ll just sit on the side, and make sure Fourth Brother doesn’t notice me,” Xu Chaomu instructed Liu Rumei.

“Sure, whatever you say. As long as you have fun.”

After reaching an agreement with Liu Rumei, Xu Chaomu dared to put on the high heels.

The sky was dark, and the lights of the Shen family’s villa were all lit. When Xu Chaomu walked out from the makeup room, she looked like a little princess, with a hint of shyness that couldn’t overshadow her beauty.

Unlike others who dripped allure and zest, she exuded a natural freshness and an unpretentious charm.

Sitting in Liu Rumei’s car, Xu Chaomu was still a bit nervous.S earch newn0vel . on google

She hoped that Shen Chi wouldn’t see her, yet she also wanted Shen Chi to see that she was no longer the little girl she used to be.

The ball was set in a large auditorium, with colorful bead strings forming patterns outside the hall, dazzling and magnificent. The archways were adorned with flowers, carrying a subtle fragrance.

From the outside of the auditorium, various men and women could be seen. They wore formal suits, tuxedos, and cocktail dresses, brands unknown to Xu

Chaomu.

She was beginning to not want to go in; she felt like the most inconspicuous star, dim and lacking shine.

Liu Rumei held her hand, “Now that you’re here, don’t want to see your Fourth Brother?”

“We’ve agreed that I’ll just sit in the corner; don’t let Fourth Brother notice me,” Xu Chaomu reminded her repeatedly.

“Relax, relax. You see how many people there are, when the time comes, just sit quietly in the corner, no one will pay attention to you. Just watch your Fourth Brother to your heart’s content; don’t let someone else snatch him away!”

“What does it matter to me if someone else snatches him away, don’t talk nonsense.”

Xu Chaomu was a bit unhappy, as if her little secret had been discovered.

“Got it, got it, let’s go, I’ll take you in..”
