You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 170 - 164 Did They Finally Break Up? (There’s More)

"...Right, that’s how it is."

Shen Mochen was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"So, on my birthday, don’t come."

"Next month, or the month after?"

"Does it make a difference?"

"One is the second wish; the other is the third."

Her long hair brushed against Shen Mochen’s neck, but Catherine’s expression remained calm and indifferent, "Neither is required, we are finished, from today onward, we are just ordinary friends. Of course, you helped me today, and I owe you a favor. I’ll have someone look after Yin Caiyu during the Buque."

Shen Mochen was silent for a moment, "Alright, I understand, thank you."

It was only then that Catherine stood up, her fragrance slowly fading away.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back," Shen Mochen said as he stood.

His eyelids drooped, his mood lackluster.

"I’ll have Fuzi drive you home."

"No need, I’ll just take a cab. Your dad won’t do anything to me."

Shen Mochen waved his hand dismissively and didn’t look back.

Catherine nodded, then suddenly asked another question, "Oh, by the way, are you going to school tomorrow?"

"I probably will. What’s the point of wealth if you don’t return home to show it off?"

Shen Mochen waved his hand.

Catherine didn’t see him out. She just watched as Shen Mochen pushed open the gate and disappeared into the twilight.

Shen Mochen probably knew why Catherine was so eager to cut ties with him.

After all, she was a real noble. A few whimsical words to irritate her father were probably the extent of it—her life wouldn’t truly be tied with his.

Moreover, even if the Earl Alexandrov tolerated Shen Mochen’s affront today for the sake of Buque, that didn’t mean that he or the mighty Alexandrov Family behind him could accept Shen Mochen, a foreign commoner, genuinely getting together with their family’s sole heir.

Catherine must have been trying to protect him. Although Shen Mochen was oblivious to the power of the Alexandrov Family, he was well-accustomed to the lowest strata of society, having seen governors annihilate entire families and magistrates ruin households. If a lowly official could drive someone to desperation with no escape, how much more could a gargantuan entity in the Romany Capital achieve?

"Actually, it doesn’t really matter..."

Shen Mochen walked through Tianyi Immortal Garden, looking for the way out.

He knew Catherine meant well for him, but even so, he still felt an inexplicable sense of loss, as if his time with Catherine was all but a grand dream. Upon waking, the content of the dream evoked a sense of melancholy.

There was no need to speak so definitively, Shen Mochen thought to himself.

He wasn’t particularly afraid of the Alexandrov Family, for he had nothing left to lose.

"Shen Mochen... Shen Mochen, is that you?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

...

At home, Fuzi silently cleaned up the tea table, not uttering a word.

"Come keep me company playing tennis."

Catherine tied her hair up and slapped Fuzi’s butt, heading straight for the tennis court in the backyard.

Fuzi promptly went to fetch the tennis racket and then followed along.

"Why the silence?" Catherine changed into her shoes, took the tennis racket from Fuzi’s hands, and laughed.

"Does the master want to protect him?" Fuzi said softly.

"Tell me, what are you thinking right now?" Catherine stretched lazily, her figure curving attractively.

"I’m thinking that the master wants to protect him, that’s why she’s deliberately setting boundaries with him... But I feel that, although the family pressure is substantial, after all, he is the one you’ve taken a liking to. Now that Yin Caiyu is gone, there are no more obstacles for you. He is also just as you expected. I don’t think there is a need to rush to..."

"You think I care for him a bit and that completely separating from him is to protect him, is that what you believe?"

Fuzi was startled and then nodded.

The evening breeze brushed through Catherine’s hair, which gleamed with a golden sheen under the setting sun.

"He’s a very smart man. What you can see, he must have thought of as well." Catherine smoothed her skirt and with eyes like stars, she smiled slightly, "If he doesn’t think this way, how can he fall in love with me in the future?"

Fuzi was taken aback and it took her a moment to realize. Of course, her mistress was no pushover girl, how could she submit so easily!

"You... You’re employing a strategy on him?" Fuzi stuttered.

Such a young girl, yet so cunning!

"I don’t like devious schemes, but he’s worth making an exception for," Catherine said with a light blink, swinging her racket, "You tell me, now that he’s been dumped by me, will he cry when he goes back... Ha ha, just kidding, crying is unlikely, but he must be quite frustrated, considering he was dumped by Catherine herself!"

When Yin Caiyu was around, perhaps no one could shake her position in Shen Mochen’s heart.

But now she was dead.

When the deer is lost, no one can blame the world for chasing it.

The so-called changes in fate, the artefact passing to the virtuous, this is the natural order.

No one could stop her, not those women at school, not Cai Yuncui, not even the teammates from the Buque team he was to spend his days with in the future!

"That’s natural. If I were him, I would’ve already run back to kiss your toes and plead for your favor once again," said Fuzi.

Catherine subconsciously curled her toes, truly worthy of Fuzi, never disappointing in matters of eccentricities.

However... imagining Shen Mochen kissing her toes, she felt she kind of understood Fuzi. It must be a rather pleasant feeling.

"Let him spend this time full of gratitude, regret, and sorrow! Otherwise, how would he realize my value?" Catherine sighed deeply, playfully closing one eye, "He’s right, only by turning and walking away without a second glance will he feel a sense of crisis... I guess this is what they call learning from one’s teacher to best them."

...

"Shen Mochen!" You Feicheng rolled down the car window, her face lighting up with surprise, "Is it really you?"

Shen Mochen tilted his head and looked at the second most beautiful girl in his class, greeting her calmly, "Hello there, I didn’t know you lived here too."

You Feicheng was a regular on the Goddess List. If it weren’t for Catherine, she would certainly be the most eye-catching girl in class. Unfortunately, people only have a special affection for the one at the top, and Shen Mochen maliciously suspected that she must have spoken ill of Catherine behind her back.

Upon seeing Shen Mochen, You Feicheng climbed out of the car with high spirits, but then remembered something, adopting a saddened expression.

"I, I heard about your sister..." You Feicheng’s face was grave as she looked at the heart-rendingly broken gaze of Shen Mochen, "Please accept my condolences. Your sister was a great hero, serving the country and its people. No one will forget her!"

"Thank you," said Shen Mochen.

He was actually quite vengeful. When Gao Le had wrongly accused him, it was You Feicheng who led the call for him to be magnanimous and not to hold grudges. He hadn’t forgotten that, so he wasn’t particularly warm towards her.

"You live here..." murmured You Feicheng, suddenly recalling something, she looked down, her spirit deflating, "you came to see the class leader, didn’t you?"

"Yeah, we broke up," said Shen Mochen.

"Eh?" You Feicheng’s eyes widened in both shock and delight, "You guys broke up?"
