Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 7: Chapter 007: Current Situation and Mindset

```

Shanghai!

Inside the Sunshine Residence near Century Park.

As the key turned, the door was gently pushed open, and the room was pitch black.

It seemed that the girl he was co-renting with had not come back yet.

He casually turned on the living room lights, and the soft, warm light illuminated the entire three-bedroom apartment. After putting down his notebook and the bag of giveaways, he flung himself onto the living room sofa, his brain still in an excited state, as Chu Mo gently closed his eyes.

Unconsciously, the stunning visage of the campus beauty Ling Yue surfaced in his mind, her snow-white skin and tall, slender figure deeply etched into Chu Mo's memory.

He touched his earlobe with his hand, and even now, Chu Mo could still clearly feel the tickling sensation when she whispered in his ear!

"Could all of this have been a dream!?"

While muttering to himself, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the luxurious and expensive watch on his left wrist.

The multimillion-dollar Patek Philippe clearly assured Chu Mo that all of this was absolutely real.

Rising gently, Chu Mo sat up straight and looked around. There was a goose-yellow sofa, a TV cabinet made of starry Dali marble, and on top of the cabinet, there were blossoming Baby's Breath flowers.

In the dining area, there was a foldable ivory-colored dining table, and in the kitchen, various pots and pans were all available!

It was no different from a regular cozy family home, and this was also one of the reasons why Chu Mo insisted on staying in Shanghai.

Of course, Chu Mo definitely could not afford the monthly rent of eight thousand yuan by himself; the person he was co-renting with was that heart-fluttering girl.

When he first graduated, Chu Mo lived in a ten-square-meter partitioned room. Back then, the constant rejections while job hunting left him so poor he couldn't even afford instant noodles.

It wasn't until he became a full-fledged freelance writer and his work stabilized a bit that he moved here.

The apartment had three bedrooms and originally had three people co-renting, but a year ago, another roommate moved out to live with her boyfriend, so a room became vacant.

He picked up his phone to check the time, 7:35 PM.

It wasn't until he put down the phone that Chu Mo remembered the watch he was wearing on his wrist.

It seemed he would need some time to fully adapt.

Walking into the kitchen, he opened the refrigerator, which was fully stocked with a variety of ingredients. He casually selected a few, washed and chopped them, and when the scalding oil in the pan splattered onto his hand, the stinging sensation finally brought the preoccupied Chu Mo back to reality.

Every day, the girl he was co-renting with would leave punctually at 7:00 AM. She would not come back for lunch, and in the evening, Chu Mo would generally prepare a quite lavish dinner, which the two would share together.

Naturally, Chu Mo did the cooking, and she would supply the ingredients in the fridge.

Chu Mo was able to save money, she got to enjoy a warm meal, and thus both got what they needed from the arrangement, which also made their relationship quite amicable.

Chu Mo had already eaten at the restaurant earlier in the evening, so this dinner was prepared for her. For two years, it had been almost a daily routine to prepare a rich dinner meal every night, which had become a habit.

Tomato and egg, pork ribs stewed with potatoes, beans in sesame sauce, stir-fried bok choy, and a mixed soup!

Her favorite was the sweet and sour fish that Chu Mo cooked, but there was no fish in the fridge, which made Chu Mo feel somewhat regretful.

He checked the time on his wrist again.

8:50 PM!

It seemed that she was working overtime again tonight.

Just as Chu Mo picked up his phone, he saw the text message she had sent.

"Sorry, I'll be back late today. Go ahead and eat, I'll just grab a bite when I return!"

Putting away the phone, and looking at the steaming dishes on the table, Chu Mo felt a tinge of melancholy for a moment.

```

So, must I bid farewell to this plain yet warm life?

Glancing at the laptop on the sofa and the luxurious gift bag, Chu Mo couldn't help but ponder once more.

The watch on his wrist was just the beginning; in Chu Mo's plans, the next purchases would naturally be a car and a house.

These were necessities, the most basic things for a man to start a family and establish himself. And once he bought a house, it naturally meant saying goodbye to this place.

After all, he had lived here for two years, and his roommate, the very girl he had a secret crush on, was not someone he could easily leave without feeling reluctant.

However, that reluctance was quickly overwhelmed by the excitement and desire in his heart.

"Ding"

A vibration came from the phone. Chu Mo had thought it was a message from his roommate, but upon checking, he found that it was actually from a friend named Linda.

Linda?

Stunned for a full two seconds, Chu Mo then chuckled to himself,

"So it's her!"

"Mr. Chu! This is Linda from Patek Philippe, you haven't forgotten me, have you?"

He hesitated for a moment before typing, "Miss Linda, your fragrance is quite memorable!"

After hitting send, it was only a moment before she replied to the message.

"Glad you like it (shy)"

It seemed his earlier feeling was real; this seductive lady with a ninety percent beauty score indeed had some thoughts about him. With just a snap of his fingers, they would likely enjoy a pleasant night together.

Yet, looking at the shy image on the screen, Chu Mo hesitated.

Patek Philippe was a luxury brand, and that saleswoman named Linda must have encountered many successful men every day. Before this, she must have interacted with numerous men, right?

Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chu Mo suddenly felt dispassionate!

Indeed, at twenty-five years old, Chu Mo had never had a girlfriend. Until now, he was still a complete virgin.

Naturally, his most basic requirement for his first partner was that she must also be experiencing it for the first time. Only then would Chu Mo feel emotionally balanced.

The captivating smile of the campus beauty Ling Yue suddenly appeared in his mind. If it were her, she should meet his criteria, right?

He didn't continue to reply but put his phone away. At that moment, Chu Mo suddenly seemed to understand why Ling Yue had rejected him before.

If she had agreed on the spot, he would inadvertently lower her status in his heart. Perhaps she had considered these points when rejecting him.

While his mind wandered, the sound of the door handle turning suddenly reached his ears. As he turned his head and the door opened, a graceful silhouette quietly appeared before him.

"Ah! It smells delicious, it looks like my diet plan for tonight is ruined again!"

The sweet, soft voice, like cotton candy, rang beside his ear. He rose unconsciously and watched the graceful figure bending to change shoes at the door. Chu Mo greeted her with a smile,

"You're back!"

The woman in a professional suit bent slightly, and her figure-hugging pencil skirt immediately outlined a curvaceous figure...

She swapped her high heels for sandals, and her long, smooth legs wrapped in black stockings were irresistibly attractive. The mature woman in her mid-twenties stood upright. When she saw Chu Mo beside the sofa looking calm and collected, the breathtakingly beautiful woman with a ninety-five percent beauty score spoke as if with a voice from heaven,

"Strange... Why do I suddenly feel like, Chu Mo, you seem a bit different?"

...

Is this the terrifying intuition of women?
