You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 515 - 497

Shen Mochen really is the cream of the crop among jerks, to have so effortlessly tossed the hot potato away, instantly transforming a conflict between enemies into an internal squabble among them.

Although the cost was that the hard-won alliance between Xia Qingrou and Han Muxue might very well crumble away.

"Let's call it a day with the arguing. It's getting late, and time to rest. Miss Kaja has been on a plane all day and needs her rest now," Liu Chaoyan intervened to smooth things over, standing up straight. "Now, as the team leader, I order members Xia Qingrou, Han Muxue, Cai Yuncui, and Shen Mochen, all of you go wash up and rest immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

Cai Yuncui was the first to respond, then scurried off to the washroom.

Seeing this, Shen Mochen breathed a huge sigh of relief and quickly ran back to his room.

Han Muxue glared furiously at Xia Qingrou before heading towards the washroom.

Xia Qingrou followed behind Han Muxue, desperately explaining, "Xuexue, believe me, I really didn't mean it... It's all Shen Mochen's fault, that jerk, he—he tricked me!"

"Don't talk to me, I don't want to speak to you right now!" Han Muxue pushed Xia Qingrou away fiercely, not wanting to say a word.

In truth, she could clearly see that Shen Mochen was passing the buck. If he hadn't been unwilling to give up on Catherine, the great beauty, no amount of encouragement from Xia Qingrou would have mattered!

But if Shen Mochen hadn't ended tonight's mess with such a shameless deflection, they would have lost too completely—practically becoming the jesters of the court.

And how was she to vent the humiliation she felt inside? Yes, she would have to find a scapegoat for her emotional turmoil.

It's all Xia Qingrou's fault, that blockhead! Why care whether Shen Mochen lives or dies—why comfort him?

Soon, only Liu Chaoyan and Catherine were left in the living room.

Liu Chaoyan smiled slightly, her demeanor as serene as a faint orchid, neither servile nor overbearing, "Miss Kaja, I'm sorry we haven't had the chance to prepare a room for you yet. How about you sleep in my room tonight? I can share with someone else."

Catherine curled her lips into a smile, "No need to trouble yourself for me, Chaoyan. I have a place to sleep."

"Alright then, since that's the case, Kaja, please make yourself at home here, without any formality. Now, if you will excuse me," she said with a smile, turning to leave.

"Will you be my enemy?" Catherine suddenly asked softly.

"I am a daughter of the Liu Family, and my fiancé is a son from the Zhao Family," Liu Chaoyan waved her hand dismissively, "Beyond that, I ask for nothing more."

Catherine watched Liu Chaoyan's retreating figure, and inexplicably, even without her own awareness, she let out a sigh of relief.

Subconsciously, she considered Liu Chaoyan the most dangerous being.

Although Shen Mochen was a promiscuous jerk, and the others held significant weight in his heart, to Catherine, they were nothing more than pawns at her disposal, easily manipulated.

"Hey, isn't it time to keep your promise?" Catherine walked into Shen Mochen's bedroom, pushing the door open directly.

"What promise?" Shen Mochen was sitting in the chair, drinking water to calm his nerves.

Catherine shook her phone, showing the text message Shen Mochen had just sent pleading for mercy. He had agreed to do anything for Catherine in exchange for her letting him off the hook this time.

"Moo moo moo! Hiss hiss hiss!" Shen Mochen imitated the sounds of cows and horses, "There, I've done it!"

"You're not really going to fob me off like this, are you?" Catherine raised an eyebrow, wrapping herself around Shen Mochen from behind.

"Princess, I almost got played to death by you today. Can I please have a moment to recover?" Shen Mochen said with a woeful expression.

Catherine caressed Shen Mochen's cheek, "I'm so upset. I thought that after not seeing each other for so long, our reunion would be filled with surprises and emotion."

"Sorry, the strongest thing I felt was terror," Shen Mochen complained. "I nearly lost my life!"

"Are you blaming me?" Catherine gave a cold smile, bit down on Shen Mochen's ear gently, and licked it lightly, "I had to risk breaking ties with my entire family just for this chance to come back to you. And what do I find? You unfaithful scoundrel, you set up the Dragon Gate Formation just to wait for me."

Shen Mochen shuddered, "Hiss... so this is your way of getting back at me... Alright, it's ninety-nine percent my fault, but don't you have even one percent to own up to? I nearly got dismembered just now, you know?"

Catherine snorted coldly, "If you're not always ready to be dismembered, then do you even have the guts to keep a harem?"

"My goal is to keep a harem while staying alive!" Shen Mochen argued with bluster, "What's the point if I'm dead!"

"Hehe, you scumbag," Catherine teased, giving a light kiss on his lips, "That's nine thousand nine hundred ninety-six times."

"Thank you for still liking this scumbag, even after all this," he said.

"Yes, I'm just as terrible," Catherine settled on top of Shen Mochen, burying her face in his shoulder, and whispered softly, "Even knowing you're an irredeemable bad guy, I still love you. That's just so terrible."

Fully aware of Shen Mochen's awful nature, and entirely opposed to his harem plans, Catherine nevertheless continued to love him as she always had. It was ever since he had offered her his hand at that banquet that their fate was sealed.

No matter if the road ahead led to paradise or the underworld, she wanted to be alongside him.

Catherine leaned quietly onto Shen Mochen; they had only been apart for three months, yet she missed him every moment.

Life in Roman was so hard to bear, everything familiar had become dull and wearisome. But now, simply leaning on Shen Mochen, her heart was filled with joy.

"Did you and that Han Muxue, did you guys...?" Catherine finally asked after a while.

"What did we...?" Shen Mochen was taken aback, "Have a child?"

"I'd twist your head off if that were the case," Catherine said irritably, "I'm asking about your superpower."

"That, we do have..." Shen Mochen nodded.

Catherine blinked, then bit down hard on Shen Mochen's neck.

"Ouch, that hurts..."

"What superpower do you and she have?" Catherine asked, voice gruff with emotion.

"Is Fuzi around?" Shen Mochen asked.

"Missing her too?" Catherine scoffed coldly.

Shen Mochen pinched her pert little nose, "Don't be jealous for no reason. I meant to ask her to keep watch so no one eavesdrops."

"Liu Chaoyan isn't listening," Fuzi's ethereal voice floated into Shen Mochen's ears.

So Shen Mochen told Catherine about his latest superpower.

After listening, Catherine was silent for a long time, her throat moving, "Do you realize how powerful your newest superpower is? Its true potential might be even more terrifying than you can imagine."
