I Am A Boss Mommy That Wants To Slack Novel - Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Exploitee Shen Ruojing

Translator: Lordbluefire
Chu Cichen had a liquor cabinet in his study.

After opening it, he took out a bottle of tequila and two glasses.

When he turned his head, he saw Shen Ruojing staring at the painting on his table…

The painting was turned over.

Hence, Shen Ruojing could only see the back of the painting. The quality of the painting paper was good, but she couldn’t see the painted person at all.

!!

However…Chu Cichen refused to eat anything and there was only a single painting before him in the study…

Shen Ruojing then retracted her gaze.

Could this person be his ‘white moonlight’* that died?

As she pondered, Chu Cichen walked over with the glasses and tequila. As he was planning to put them on the sofa, Shen Ruojing already walked to the balcony.

There were two mats placed there along with a table between the mats that were used for drinking tea. She casually sat down on a mat and spoke, “Let’s drink here instead, it feels better.”

Chu Cichen paused slightly before walking over.

After he poured the tequila, Shen Ruojing naturally lifted her glass and toasted him. As she drank a mouthful, her eyes brightened. “Tequila Ley 925?”

This was the most expensive tequila in the world.

The bottle itself was made of platinum. In order to showcase its grandeur, it was even embedded with diamonds. The value of a single bottle was a few million USD…

Chu Cichen nodded as some thoughts flickered in his mind. Being able to know what liquor this was with just a sip…This meant that Shen Ruojing understood it very well. He then recalled her modified motorbike that was worth tens of millions.

This woman was too mysterious. He completely couldn’t see through her.

“Eh, I didn’t expect you to have such good liquor here.” Shen Ruojing didn’t feel overwhelmed by favor after seeing him nodding. Instead, she chatted casually, “You look a little depressed today. Is it because you are thinking of your white moonlight?”

White moonlight?

Chu Cichen recalled her fiery appearance that was akin to a bottle of strong liquor. “She should be called a cinnabar mark* instead.”

“Oh.” Shen Ruojing also didn’t know what overcame her today. She was actually chatting with him about his ‘cinnabar mark’.

She only knew that Chu Cichen, who didn’t remember their past, was another person.

She finished her drink in a single gulp and poured another glass for herself.

Chu Cichen surveyed her and suddenly asked, “What about you?”

“What?” Shen Ruojing didn’t understand.

Chu Cichen pursed his lips. “Me, who is in your memories. Or more accurately, the term ‘him’ would be better. What is he like?”

Shen Ruojing started slightly. This was the first time Chu Cichen had taken the initiative to mention the past.

She pondered for a moment before laughing. “He’s like a clingy little puppy.”

“…” Chu Cichen fell silent. “Back then, was it because…of his disappearance that you wrote so many sad songs?”

In his memories, the two of them didn’t know each other. Hence, he had never admitted that he was Shen Ruojing’s ex-boyfriend.

Shen Ruojing looked at him and her peach blossom eyes gleamed. “He was the one who wrote the songs.”

Chu Cichen was stunned.

He had thought that Shen Ruojing was the one who became dispirited after being abandoned. And after gaining so many insights, she then wrote so many sad songs.

He didn’t expect it was the guy who wrote them.

He suddenly recalled Matriarch Chu saying that when Shen Ruojing was ten years old, she was abducted by traffickers to a mountain…did she survive well in those three years?

Not going to mention this, he then drank a mouthful of tequila.

The two of them quietened down and no longer spoke.

However, Chu Cichen’s emotions became much calmer.

He also didn’t know why he calmed down after listening to Shen Ruojing’s voice. In fact, when she asked if he wanted to drink, he didn’t reject her but was instead filled with the impulse to drink…. It had to be known that ever since he got plotted against by others those years ago, he had completely stopped drinking.

Without realizing it, he finally felt somewhat tipsy. At this moment, Shen Ruojing stood up.

She lowered her head and looked at the man who lifted his head to look at her.

His phoenix eyes were very bright and dark, reflecting the crescent moon in the sky.

Shen Ruojing asked, “Has it been very long since Mr. Chu last felt so unrestrained?”

“Hmm.” Chu Cichen lifted his glass and drained the contents within.

Shen Ruojing saw that he was suddenly smiling, hence, she asked in a mischievous manner, “Do you know something? I have a strange hobby. I like to lead the good children in the eyes of teachers and parents like you…astray.”

After saying this, she turned and walked out. “Thanks for the drink.”

When she passed by his table, her gaze fell onto the painting again. However, her gaze only paused slightly before she shifted it away and continued to walk away.

Chu Cichen was the only one remaining here in a daze.

His mind suddenly recalled the situation where he first met her those years ago…

Back then, she had snatched a cigarette from his hands. After seeing that he didn’t smoke, her lips couldn’t help but curl. “Good kids like you are really useless.”

Recalling these memories, Chu Cichen pursed his lips and suddenly walked to the study table. After turning the painting back, he meticulously looked at it.

The woman in the painting was flamboyant. The black mask she was wearing was in the form of a phoenix, and the butterfly tattoo on her shoulder was extremely lifelike…

Since Shen Ruojing had drunk some alcohol, Matriarch Chu was afraid something might happen if she drove under the effects of alcohol. Hence, she got Shen Ruojing to leave her motorbike here and made the chauffeur send Shen Ruojing and Chu Yu back.

When she arrived home, Shen Ruojing discovered that Shen Qianhui and Jing Zhen hadn’t returned yet. But she didn’t think too much and brought Chu Yu to his room to sleep.

The next morning, the Chu Family’s chauffeur sent her motorbike over.

After preparing everything, Shen Ruojing rode her motorbike to send Chu Yu to school.

Upon returning home, she saw that her mother had a haggard look on her face as though she hadn’t slept the entire night. Hence, Shen Ruojing asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shen Qianhui waved her hands. “Didn’t I say I wanted to start a variety show? A guest that I invited suddenly didn’t want to come, so we had to work through the night to find people…However, there are no famous celebrities that have a free slot…”

Shen Ruojing was puzzled. “What variety show?”

“A music variety show that is named [Masked Singers]. Those who are invited have to be popular celebrities or artists. They have to know how to sing and understand music. If not, I should simply get a random stranger to come. Ai!”

After hearing this, Shen Ruojing suddenly felt a bad premonition.

She subconsciously tried to lower her sense of existence and flee upstairs…

Sadly, it was too late!

Because when Shen Qianhui said this, it was like she suddenly thought of something. She looked at Shen Ruojing in shock. “Jingjing, how did I forget about you!! Anonymous is a famous composer!”

Shen Ruojing. “!!!!”

She quickly deflected it. “My father is a celebrity too.”

“Right, so he is already in the show.”

Shen Ruojing. “??”

Could she still continue with her slacking lifestyle? Why did it seem that she was becoming busier and busier each day?!

–

Half an hour later.

At the backstage area where the TV Program was broadcasted.

She Qianhui laughed. “It’s fine, it’s fine. I know that you don’t usually sing. You just have to wear a mask and sing two sentences casually up the stage. We will just eliminate you during the first round.”

“…”

Exploitee Shen Ruojing then entered her make-up room with reluctance and spotted her attire with a glance.

It was a long red-colored dress with suspenders. After wearing it, her shoulders would be revealed. In addition, there was a golden mask in the form of a phoenix lying atop the dress!

[1] ‘White moonlight’ is a slang. In this case, the woman he loves is unattainable for him. He likes her but isn’t able to touch her.

[2] ‘Cinnabar mark’ is a slang. In this case, that woman is always in Chu Cichen’s heart, and he can never forget her.
