You are all bad women! Don't come over!-Chapter 353 - 344 Mother-in-law Above
"Sure, I'll consider it." Shen Mochen fell silent for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
In the hospital, Shen Mochen sat alone by the bed. He picked up the storybook he had been reading to Yin Caiyu from beside the pillow. After opening it, he suddenly seemed lost in thought.
The bookmark was no longer in its original place.
Shen Mochen brought the book to his nose and gently sniffed, catching a faint citrus scent. As he suspected, Xia Qingrou had been here, and like him, had read to Yin Caiyu.
It's a good thing he was unconscious at the time, otherwise he would surely think the other was provoking him... Shen Mochen chuckled softly and put down the book, caressing Yin Caiyu's cheek.
But then again, Xia Qingrou seemed to be in a worse situation, like an oblivious wife serving her husband's mistress during confinement... although Xia Qingrou seemed more like the mistress.
"Haha..." Shen Mochen chuckled.
It was funny, yet not funny.
"Having missed such a good girl, what do you think you should do to make it up to me when you wake up?" Shen Mochen pinched Yin Caiyu's somewhat shriveled face.
Speaking of which, should he consider activating the fourth star? Shen Mochen slowly closed his eyes.
Currently, he had already activated the Tianji, Tianxuan, and Tianji stars, and he also knew about the superpower contained in the fourth Tianquan Star.
This superpower could only be used once per person, and the subject couldn't be older than 16 years old. The effect was that there would be a one percent chance of awakening a superpower on the night of the day it was used.
Normally, the probability of a person awakening a superpower was less than one in ten thousand, but this superpower could increase the likelihood by more than 100 times. Moreover, this didn't need to wait until the 16th birthday; it could be any day.
Shen Mochen was well aware of the value of this superpower. When a country had 100 times more superpower users than other countries, even Roman and Huaqi would tremble with fear.
Yet this skill, though powerful, still didn't provide a way to awaken Yin Caiyu. However, Shen Mochen held hope in the amplifying ability of the Tianji Star, and was not so anxious for now.
Still, if he had a chance, he would go and activate other stars... Shen Mochen felt he had figured out a pattern, regardless of other conditions, to activate a star, the person being kissed must truly like him in the moment... perhaps "love" would be a more accurate term.
So far, only three people had succeeded: Yin Caiyu, Cai Yuncui, and Xia Qingrou.
Besides, these three shared common traits: they possessed superpowers and were breathtakingly beautiful.
You Feicheng also liked him, but she didn't have a superpower and seemed not to match the beauty of the other three, so kissing her didn't activate a star.
It might also be because You Feicheng didn't really like him that much and just lusted after his body. The first kiss with Cai Yuncui and the initial kisses with Xia Qingrou also didn't awaken a superpower.

Shen Mochen continued reading the story from where the bookmark Xia Qingrou had left plotted, as the sun dipped in the west, the pre-evening sunlight of summer was somewhat glaring.
His phone vibrated in his pocket.
Shen Mochen glanced at it, a text from Catherine: "Back yet?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you; I just got back today and am now in the hospital," Shen Mochen texted Catherine.
Actually, he hadn't forgotten; he had deliberately not told Catherine.
He somewhat wanted to see her, but also really didn't want to. He knew she was about to get engaged, though it wasn't decided to whom yet, but the fiancé would definitely be a fellow Roman noble.
Why mention his return now? If she suggested meeting, what would he say?
Please, she was about to be another man's wife, what business did he, an ex-boyfriend, have clinging to her?
Moreover, Shen Mochen felt a strange sensation in his heart, as though he had done nothing wrong, yet always felt like he owed her something. Only after being dumped by Xia Qingrou did Shen Mochen realize how uncomfortable it was to let someone down.
Moreover, the two of them were originally from different worlds, and Shen Mochen really didn't want to get involved.
"Going back to school?"
"Ranked number one on the jerk list, hell no, I'm not going back."
Shen Mochen replied with as normal a tone as possible.
"Explaining this situation is quite simple, if you really care about it, I can help explain."
"Is the princess being extremely generous now?"
"After all, I am a little responsible for this matter."
"We'll see when the time comes, anyway, there are still several days left until vacation."
"I don't mind, I was just asking casually. You should be free these days, right? Come out and meet."
Shen Mochen was shocked, falling into hesitation. After a moment, he slowly typed:
"I might be quite busy, no time, maybe next time I'm back."
Next time he came back, things should have settled down, presumably.
There was no response from the other end of the phone, and just as Shen Mochen was feeling a bit uneasy, Catherine's call came through.
Shen Mochen was momentarily flustered, but after steadying his spirit, he still answered the call. The same calm yet somewhat teasing voice of Catherine came from the other end.
"So, do I need to invite you?"
"No, it's not that, I'm genuinely a bit busy..."
"One person almost got arrested before, I helped smooth things over, and that person cried their eyes out vowing to be my workhorse as thanks... What, don't you want to acknowledge it now?"
"Can't you stop exaggerating? I just said I'd treat you to a meal, when did I say I'd be a workhorse?"
"I thought you had forgotten about it, now you've got your chance to repay me. The car is already parked downstairs at the hospital, I hope you make it within five minutes, otherwise your crazy miss will personally come to fetch you."
"Hey, no, who pressures someone this way to treat them to a meal..."
"Well, you've got three minutes left."
"That's kind of excessive, don't you think? How quickly do two minutes pass!" Shen Mochen couldn't help but complain as he suddenly stood up.
"Hey, I'm not cheating, just making it clear, someone helped me, and I'm just treating her to a meal." Shen Mochen quickly kissed Yin Caiyu on the lips and turned to leave the hospital room.
Shen Mochen hurriedly left the hospital, where Fuzi, in a professional suit, stood beside a strange luxury car.
"Changed cars?"
"You are Kajiena's sweetheart, huh? You really are a great looking young man!"
Just then, the car door suddenly opened, and a woman with pale golden hair stepped out. Her hair was up, and she wore a pale aqua patterned long dress, which seemed reminiscent of past noblewomen but simpler and more elegant, and it didn't take away from her dignified demeanor.
She looked beautiful with light makeup on, appearing to be only around thirty, every movement showing a maturity that young girls couldn't possess.
Before Shen Mochen could react, the woman walked toward him with the evening breeze, gently embraced Shen Mochen, and lifted her head to kiss his cheek: "Hello, Yupi boy, I am Kajiena's mother."
