This Bad Luck is Awesome!

Chapter 122: Chapter 102: Has Xia Shiqing Really Developed Feelings?

"This..."

When Pan Kejia saw the discarded condom wrappers in the trash can, she was instantly too embarrassed to speak.

Just a moment ago, she was telling her mother how relationships were for suckers.

The next thing she knew, her mom had spotted the discarded wrappers in the trash.

’This was solid proof.’

Even she, who loved to argue her way out of things, couldn’t come up with a single rebuttal.

Unless she claimed she used them by herself.

But using them alone seemed even more embarrassing than being in a relationship.

So, she decided to drop the act and come clean.

"Fine. I am in a relationship."

A look of resignation flickered across Pan Kejia’s blushing face as she looked at her mother and nodded.

She had admitted it.

"If you’re in a relationship, you’re in a relationship! It’s much better to be open about it. Were you afraid your father and I would disapprove?"

Seeing her daughter admit it, a happy smile spread across Mrs. Pan’s face.

Parents from wealthy families were all the same. While you were in school, they were terrified you’d start dating.

After you graduated, they were terrified you *wouldn’t*.

"No, it’s just... we only started dating recently..."

Pan Kejia shook her head, her voice dropping to a guilty whisper.

’There was no way she could be open about her thing with Chen Mo!’

’If she really were open about it, all hell would break loose.’

"Well, you two are certainly moving fast."

Mrs. Pan glanced at the number of items in the trash can, then gave her daughter a meaningful look.

"Oh, Mom! Why do you have to ask about everything?"

Pan Kejia shot her mother a playfully annoyed glare and quickly tied up the garbage bag.

"Jiajia, your boyfriend isn’t still here, is he?"

A thought suddenly occurred to Mrs. Pan, and she looked at her daughter with suspicion.

’If her daughter’s boyfriend was still in the apartment, it would be incredibly awkward right now.’

’Should she meet him?’

’Or should she have the decency to leave and spare everyone the embarrassment?’

"He left ages ago. He said he ’had something important to do’!"

Pan Kejia’s voice was tinged with irritation as she said this.

She could guess exactly what Chen Mo was busy with right now.

He was busy "getting on the highway" with Xia Shiqing.

For some reason, Mrs. Pan detected a sour, jealous tone in her daughter’s voice.

"It’s normal for young people to be busy with their careers. Don’t throw a tantrum. In a relationship, you have to understand and support each other..."

Thinking her daughter was just being petty and throwing a fit, Mrs. Pan immediately launched into a lecture.

"I know, I know."

Listening to her mother’s lecture, Pan Kejia could feel a headache starting.

"Alright, go get cleaned up. You’re coming back with me for dinner later."

"Look at this place, it’s a pigsty..."

Unable to stand the mess, Mrs. Pan started tidying up herself.

When she went out onto the balcony, she saw several bedsheets hanging on the drying rack and froze for a second.

"Jiajia, why are you drying so many bedsheets?"

Mrs. Pan called out to Pan Kejia, who was washing up in the bathroom.

"I just bought them! I’m washing them because I was worried they weren’t clean."

Pan Kejia, who was in the middle of brushing her teeth, felt her face turn beet red as she quickly replied.

"Oh, you should definitely wash new things."

Mrs. Pan seemed to believe her daughter’s explanation.

’She’d just bought quite a lot this time.’

’Did she really need so many?’

...

「Time flew by, and soon it was noon.」

Chen Mo personally cooked a delicious meal at home.

Considering how tired Xia Shiqing must be from their "drive," he dished up a plate and brought it to her bedside.

’So considerate.’

’It would warm her up for the whole day.’

"Here, eat something."

Chen Mo poured her a glass of water.

Xia Shiqing slowly sat up, leaning against the headboard. From the way her delicate brows were furrowed, it seemed to be a struggle.

"Thank you."

She took the glass, thanked him, and took a few sips.

She was thirsty, but she didn’t drink quickly.

She looked very elegant.

Unlike Pan Kejia, who would have gulped it down.

But considering how much "ink" she needed for her "map-drawing," it was understandable.

After drinking the water, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat Chen Mo’s cooking, chewing slowly and deliberately.

"Is it good?"

Chen Mo watched her eat in silence, a smile on his face as he asked.

"Mhm, you’re a great cook."

Xia Shiqing tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and praised his culinary skills with sincerity.

"Then eat up."

Chen Mo smiled, took a hair tie from her bag, and helped her tie her hair back.

After she finished eating, Chen Mo wanted to let her get some proper rest.

So, he left the bedroom to let her sleep in peace.

Mainly, Chen Mo was afraid that if he stayed to rest with her, he wouldn’t be able to resist "starting the engine" again.

He sat down in the game room and saw a delivery notification from the Shuntong Express Official Account on his phone, which suddenly reminded him of something.

Chen Mo called his dad.

"Hello? Dad, what are you up to?"

"Just finished lunch. I’m at home. What about you?"

"I just finished lunch too..."

After the father and son chatted for a bit, Chen Mo got down to business.

"I sent you guys something. It should be arriving any minute now."

"When you get it, don’t let the delivery guy leave right away. Open the package and shine the UV flashlight from inside on the items."

"If you see a fluorescent mark, then it’s fine. If you don’t see a mark, call me."

Chen Mo briefly explained the situation to his dad.

"Okay, I got it."

His dad sounded a little confused, but he agreed nonetheless.

He knew Chen Mo wouldn’t do something without a reason.

About half an hour later, his dad called back.

"Got the stuff. Checked it all. They all have the mark."

Hearing that they all had the mark, Chen Mo didn’t look surprised.

’After all, if his packages were swapped out every single time, the courier company might as well go out of business.’

"But how did you get your hands on all this? I’m seeing 12 bottles of Maotai alone, and they’re from 2014. That’s got to be worth tens of thousands of yuan."
