You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 39 - 37 Rich Lady, Take Me with You!
Catherine spoke indifferently, as if she was merely telling a casual joke. But Shen Mochen couldn’t laugh; he clearly saw in that instant, her eyes were as lonely as the stars.
"Let’s go, where are we headed to now?" Catherine asked.
"We’re going to Fengqi Road in Cangkou District; I’ve already called and made an appointment!"
"Is it far from here?"
In his heart, Shen Mochen thought, you’ve been in Yu Huai City for at least two years now, and you still don’t know where Cangkou District is... Maybe she really didn’t know, and Shen Mochen vaguely realized something.
"It’s okay, it takes about half an hour by subway. Of course, taking a taxi is also an option, but there are more people in the evening and the traffic might be heavier."
He answered Catherine’s question while also providing two travel options.
It seemed that Catherine had already made up her mind: "I’ve never been on the subway; I want to take the subway."
"Crowded though, the subway can get quite packed in the evenings," Shen Mochen thoughtfully reminded her.
"Lead the way."
"Sure thing."
...
Upon entering the subway station, Catherine quickly attracted countless passersby’s attention. Although there were quite a few women amongst them, it was mostly men who couldn’t help but stealthily gaze at the stunning foreign girl.
Earlier, as it was dark, Shen Mochen hadn’t noticed that Catherine had changed out of her school uniform. Now, under the bright lights of the subway station, he took a moment to glance at her and couldn’t help but be slightly astounded.
She was wearing a black dress, the well-tailored fabric hugging her body, accentuating her voluptuous chest and slim waist, showcasing the most beautiful curves of a young girl as if a ripe fruit, yet still exuding an aura of youthful innocence. Her fair skin, nearly translucent, contrasted sharply with the black dress, making her even more captivating.
"Does it look good?"
Catherine noticed Shen Mochen’s gaze, smiled, and gently lifted her skirt, boldly presenting her most beautiful side to Shen Mochen.
"It looks good."

To the contrary, Shen Mochen felt a bit embarrassed. He wanted to compliment her further, but considering that he shouldn’t make Catherine too fond of him, he decided to hold his tongue.
"If you think it looks good, that’s great; I changed specially for you," Catherine said with a beaming smile.
Shen Mochen felt his heart skip a beat and diverted his gaze, then noticed a red swelling on Catherine’s wrist, glaring against her snow-white skin.
"What happened to your hand?"
"Are you talking about this? I was bitten by an insect while waiting for you downstairs at your place. Your neighborhood really does have a lot of mosquitoes."
Shen Mochen paused, and apologized instinctively, "I’m sorry... How long did you wait?"
"It was almost an hour. I didn’t expect that you and Teacher Caiyu would take so long to have dinner and chat."
A feeling of guilt grew inside him, and Shen Mochen suddenly found Catherine a bit foolish.
"You could have phoned me, you know; you do have my number..."
"I originally wanted to surprise you, thinking to let you prepare to handle the class logistics alone, and then show up to help. But Teacher Caiyu beat me to it. It’s a pity; I thought you’d be so moved you’d kneel down and lick my toes!"
"Hey hey hey, that last part is surely a personal grudge! Even if I were touched, I wouldn’t go licking anyone’s toes!"
Shen Mochen teased her with a laugh, finding that, although Catherine was a bit of a princess, she was quite easy to get along with. Ideally, they could remain friends after they break up.
"Really? But your sister told me you like girls’ feet."
"Yin Caiyu?" Shen Mochen was taken aback, then his face turned red, and veins popped on his forehead as he argued, "She’s slandering me, she’s completely slandering me!"
Catherine’s lips curved slightly, and her eyes, blue as the sea, looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, "You’re lying again, but this is one lie I can understand."
"By the way," Shen Mochen coughed and asked with a restrained face, "when did she secretly contact you, and what did you two talk about?"
"I don’t see any reason to hide it, but your sister told me not to tell you," Catherine shrugged.
Shen Mochen’s eye twitched, not particularly surprised that Yin Caiyu had gotten in touch with Catherine; after all, it was no difficult task for her to take down Catherine’s phone number while he wasn’t around. His only concern was that Yin Caiyu might have spoken carelessly and exposed the fact that they had just cuckolded her a couple of days ago.
Catherine seemed like a lie detector; her thoughts meticulous, able to see through ordinary lies at a glance. If Yin Caiyu wasn’t prepared, they might accidentally end up dumping their bodies in the river.
Forget it, I’ll remind her when I get back... But what on earth was Yin Caiyu thinking? She just cuckolded someone and then went to their victim’s face to jump her case while still expecting to be respectfully addressed as sister.
You’re being way too arrogant!
"Then let’s go buy tickets now," Shen Mochen said, "My subway card can only be used by one person."
"What’s a subway card?"
"It’s like a top-up card, similar to a cafeteria meal card. With this card, you no longer need to buy a ticket each time you take the subway; you can just swipe the card at the entrance, and the money is automatically deducted from it."
Catherine’s eyes sparkled slightly, "That sounds fun, get me one too."
Shen Mochen nodded, "Alright... But I didn’t bring any of my own money, is it okay if I use the class funds for now?"
In truth, it wasn’t that he didn’t want her to pay, but seeing Catherine in only a little dress without a bag, he guessed she probably hadn’t brought any money with her either.
Catherine frowned, "You didn’t bring any money? What if you have an unexpected expense on the way..."
"Cough cough cough!" Shen Mochen coughed heavily and turned his face away, "Isn’t that expense for buying things for the class? It’s perfectly normal to pay with public funds."
He had wanted to say he would borrow the money first and then reimburse it later, but he figured he probably couldn’t deceive Catherine with that kind of lie.
"..." Catherine, with a dark face, said wordlessly, "No need to use the class funds, I brought money."
Shen Mochen led Catherine to the service desk, and the staff member asked if they wanted a monthly pass, annual pass, or just a regular top-up card. Catherine didn’t even think before saying she wanted an annual pass.
Shen Mochen whispered a reminder, "If you’re not going to take the subway often, getting an annual pass is a waste, a rechargeable card is more economical."
"It doesn’t matter," Catherine said, taking a bank card out of a small pocket in her dress.
"A Hengyi Bank black gold card?"
The subway station staff member took the bank card, almost bulging their eyes out in surprise.
Hengyi is the largest bank in Yupi, and its black gold card is the emperor of credit cards. To apply for one, the basic threshold is an annual pure income of at least ten million.
"Your family must be really rich, is this from your parents..." Shen Mochen gasped.
"This is my personal card; it has nothing to do with them," Catherine said calmly.
"You actually have so much money, where did it come from?"
Shen Mochen was shocked. He knew Catherine was a super-rich young lady, but her family was in politics after all; their finances shouldn’t be so free, right?
"My ancestral lands back in Roman have quite a few estates, and I’ve inherited some. The steward usually hires people to plant economic crops on the estates and build farms for raising cattle and sheep, and the income from the production is all mine."
"Do agricultural products actually make that much money... or is it that your land is very large?"
Catherine shrugged nonchalantly, "It’s not that big, most of the land is still under my father’s control. It just so happens that there are two coal mines on my land, and a couple of years ago an oil field was discovered; we’ve started drilling and selling oil now."
???
Actually, living off a woman might not be so unacceptable, right... Shen Mochen thought to himself.
Yin Caiyu, give me back my innocence already, I want a clean, glorious marriage!
