You are all bad women! Don't come over!

Shen Mochen actually was not ready to be a father, not at all. In fact, he was only eighteen years old, and though he had faced all sorts of hardships from a young age, he had just recently left the school grounds.

He just felt that he had no right to let Xia Qingrou have an abortion for his sake, that would be owing her too much.

Of course, he hadn't thought about what to do after the child was born; he just wanted to take responsibility for Xia Qingrou.

But Xia Qingrou suddenly froze, then looked at Shen Mochen's serious face with shock, her own face turning as red as the evening afterglow.

"What are you talking about!" Xia Qingrou said with a red face, pinching Shen Mochen's waist hard, she said in a low angry voice, "I'm not pregnant, my period came as usual!"

"…Oh." Shen Mochen let out a sigh of relief.

"Really, what the hell are you thinking about in your head!"

Xia Qingrou was both embarrassed and annoyed, especially seeing the relief on Shen Mochen's face after learning she wasn't pregnant; it made her even more upset.

Am I supposed to be happy that I'm not pregnant? Just now he was talking about taking responsibility for me!

"So what if I really was pregnant?" Xia Qingrou said puffily.

"…Then I would work hard to become a very wealthy and powerful person," Shen Mochen said solemnly after being silent for a moment.

"You, why do you have to be like this…"

Xia Qingrou's face was a mix of emotions, and a flicker of light danced in her eyes. Was he trying to strive for success for me and the baby? What a fool, it's not like I need him to be all that successful!

Damn it, why is my heart beating uncontrollably… She slightly curled her lips up into a smile, knowing full well he was a scumbag. But why can't I help feeling happy about it?

Shen Mochen licked his lips: "I've heard that rich people often secretly marry multiple wives, so as long as I join their ranks, I can marry both of you!"

Xia Qingrou's smile came to an abrupt halt.

"…Can you go die?"

"Actually, I'm serious this time."

Shen Mochen tensed all his muscles, a sign that he was on high alert for danger.

He knew how trashy his words were, and it would be perfectly normal for Xia Qingrou to lash out and attack him in this moment. But obviously, he couldn't die now.

"Whether you're serious or not is none of my freaking business!"

Xia Qingrou, whose expectations had been maxed out previously, felt like she was going to explode with anger, her blood rushing to her brain. If she had a knife in her hand right now, she'd undoubtedly go on a rampage!

"So I will become a very wealthy and powerful person, as long as you're willing to marry…"

"Of course I won't marry you! Asshole! What kind of nonsense are you thinking of!"

Xia Qingrou roared in a low voice, flames in her eyes.

Scumbags really are scumbags! I'm so infuriated! How could I have been so blind to fall for such a worthless guy!

Shen Mochen bit his lip, looking pitiful: "If you won't marry… then don't, but why are you so angry… just pretend I was joking…"

After all, she wasn't pregnant.

Xia Qingrou instantly lost her fire, snorted, and gave Shen Mochen a kick, glanced at the bathroom, and scolded in a hushed tone: "I'll say it again, we broke up, do you understand that, do you know what that means? We are strangers now, even if I was pregnant it has nothing to do with you, it would be someone else's, not yours! Don't act as though we're close in the future!"

Shen Mochen could only nod.

"Hmph!" Xia Qingrou cocked her hip away, creating distance between them, turned her face away, and said through clenched teeth, "Even if I really was pregnant I would get it aborted!"

Shen Mochen didn't make a sound.

The two sat in silence, with only the poor actors on the TV screen laboring to play the fool in a comedy that was anything but funny.

"Hey, I just want to make one thing clear, I'm not interested in you at all!" Xia Qingrou finally spoke up after a long pause, "I'm just curious, and I want to ask."

"Go ahead and ask," Shen Mochen said.

Xia Qingrou's lips parted and then closed again; this cycle repeated several times, and after much struggle, she awkwardly blurted out, "You said you were going to marry two, who's the other one? Don't lie to me!"

She had just thought of it: Did that bastard have another girlfriend?

Was it Catherine? No, no, no, with her high status, how could she agree to this?

Could it be Xuexue? No, no, no, besides... she hadn't noticed any special interest from him toward Xuexue.

It couldn't be Xia Yusi, could it? Damn that bastard, she knew something was off in the way he looked at Xia Yusi the other day; all men are filthy creatures who fancy their sisters-in-law!

Shen Mochen gently stroked the bracelet on his wrist, "Yin Caiyu."

He'd made up his mind; if there ever came a day, Shen Mochen would kneel down and lick Yin Caiyu's feet if he had to, just to get her to agree to his marrying two people.

So, it was her, that damn homewrecker fox... Uh, it seems I'm actually the third party.

Thinking of this, Xia Qingrou felt even more irritated, but she didn't erupt.

She then considered that Yin Caiyu was already dead. She didn't know what Shen Mochen meant by it – did he want to marry her and a dead person? What difference would that make compared to marrying just her?

Sigh, he truly couldn't let go of past grievances in his heart...

Damn it, he was only willing to marry her after she got pregnant, which meant, in his eyes, she was actually worth less than a dead person!

Bastard, colossal jerk!

Xia Qingrou was flooded with a mix of emotions and found herself at a loss for words.

"Actually, you should learn to let go. I think General Yin wouldn't want to see you like this..."

Xia Qingrou still ended up saying after much hesitation.

Shen Mochen looked up at Xia Qingrou, "Are you trying to say she's dead? Actually, she's not dead."

Xia Qingrou defiantly replied, "What difference does that make?"

Of course, there was a difference, the difference being that Shen Mochen now had the means to resurrect Yin Caiyu. Although it may not be guaranteed to succeed, there was a good chance.

Besides, the remaining stars he hadn't yet lit up could still be hiding other opportunities.

Originally, Shen Mochen intended to tell Xia Qingrou his superpower secret or at least about his ability to reverse the aging of superpowers.

That was after Xia Qingrou returned from her last vacation.

Unfortunately, he didn't get the chance to speak before he was dumped.

Now, this secret had to remain unspoken for the time being, and Shen Mochen could only keep silent.

Xia Qingrou glanced sideways at Shen Mochen, and seeing his silence, she wore an "I knew I was right" expression.

Her feelings were quite complex; at least among the living, she held the highest place in Shen Mochen's heart. But there was Yin Caiyu, whose status was even higher.

Despite Yin Caiyu being dead, he still loved her more, even though she was no longer alive.

"Plus, you're being way too naive with all this talk about power and wealth. Do you really think it's so easy just because you're a male superpower user?" Xia Qingrou scoffed derisively, "To make your grandiose dreams come true, you'd at least need to be as powerful as Yanyan's family, right? You don't actually believe it's easy, do you!"
