Li Mu gently embraced her: "Sister Fan, Michelle and I started a long time ago. Before you started running with me every morning, Michelle and I had already developed to the point we are now."

"If that's the case, Michelle would have been my girlfriend long ago."

Fan Shengmei fell silent. She had known about Michelle's existence for a long time and realized that Michelle and Li Mu had a close relationship, but since they hadn't officially started dating, she felt that she had a chance.

She even fantasized that if something happened, the relationship could be naturally established.

Looking back now, it wasn't naiveté, it was just self-deception.

If that were feasible, Michelle would already be Li Mu's official girlfriend, so there would be no chance for her to interfere.

In some ways, she was the third party, someone who offered herself up, clinging to him every day with all sorts of temptations, and yesterday she even made a big move.

Having figured all this out, for some reason, Fan Shengmei felt much better. It wasn't like she'd been deceived; everything was her own initiative, and she'd achieved all her goals except for not becoming his girlfriend.

She should actually be happy.

These thoughts left Fan Shengmei's mind in a jumble, completely unsure of what to do next. But one thing she was certain of: she would never let go of what she had finally managed to grasp.

After hesitating for a while, Fan Shengmei said, "Then what do you want me to do? How did you handle Michelle's situation?"

Li Mu said, "I've already explained things to Michelle, and she understands me. She doesn't want to break up, so we'll keep things as they are for now."

“If you’re willing, we can get along the way Michelle does. We can resolve this issue when we’re less busy with our careers and have more time to deal with our personal matters.”

Fan Shengmei hesitated for a moment. Although she realized that what Li Mu said was not very reliable, she still deceived herself and believed what he said.

She gritted her teeth, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded shyly, saying, "Then... I'm willing too."

As she spoke, she buried her face in Li Mu's arms, her face flushed red, whether from embarrassment or grievance, it was hard to tell.

Having reached this point, Li Mu no longer held back and stopped suppressing his body's reactions...

With a scream, several small birds outside the window were startled and flew away.

The bedroom was instantly filled with springtime warmth.

In room 2202, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying got up in the morning, but there was no movement in Fan Shengmei's room, who should have been up at that time. Qiu Yingying, being lively and enthusiastic, went to knock on the door.

"Sister Fan, it's getting late, it's time to go to work."

There was no response from inside. She pressed her ear to the door and listened carefully. The room was quiet, without a sound. She couldn't help but open the door and take a look. Sister Fan's bed was neatly made, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Qiu Yingying's brain wasn't working properly, so she turned around and called out, "Guan Guan, have you seen Sister Fan? It's so early in the morning, why is there no one in Sister Fan's room? Even the blankets are folded up."

Guan Juer was startled and ran over. Looking at the neat and tidy room, she thought of how Sister Fan had been dressed in revealing clothes last night, with a large expanse of white skin showing. She went downstairs to find Brother Li.

She didn't come back until I went to bed at night, and I didn't hear anyone open the door or come back during the night. Could it be that Sister Fan didn't come back last night?

The thought flashed through Guan Juer's mind, and she was stunned. If Sister Fan hadn't returned, it was obvious where she was last night.

A man and a woman alone together, and Sister Fan keeps saying she wants to seduce them in front of them, could it be...?

But what about Michelle, who's with Brother Li? Her mind was a mess. She looked at Qiu Yingying, who was standing next to her, completely bewildered and unaware of what was happening. She didn't want to say anything more and cause further trouble.

This is not in line with her personality, and it also affects the reputation of Brother Li and Sister Fan.

He could only offer a casual explanation: "Sister Fan has been going downstairs to exercise frequently these days and gets up early every day. She must have had something to do at her company and left early, so she didn't meet us."

The naive Qiu Yingying actually believed it and said, "Sister Fan is so unfair. She left so early without waking me up. I almost overslept again today."

Guan Juer asked, "Sister Fan is calling you...can you get up?"

Qiu Yingying stretched and chuckled foolishly, "That's true, if I woke up too early, I wouldn't be able to get up either."

Seeing that Qiu Yingying had finally stopped focusing on Sister Fan's problem, Guan Juer breathed a sigh of relief. For now, things could only remain as they were.

Turning my head, I glanced at Fan Shengmei's room again, wondering if Sister Fan was still downstairs, how to handle her relationship with Brother Li, and what about Michelle's side?

After struggling with this for a while, I sighed and decided to stop worrying about it. They are all adults and should be able to handle it properly. I should focus on how to get through my internship.

……

Downstairs, the wind and rain had stopped, and Fan Shengmei lay there exhausted. After a long while, she finally regained some strength.

He took out his phone and looked at it, then suddenly screamed.

Li Mu asked, "What's wrong?"

Fan Shengmei said with a long face, "I'm going to work soon, and I'm definitely going to be late today. What am I going to do?"

Li Mu was speechless. After going through something like this, you still have the nerve to worry about being late. I don't know if you value this job too much or if you're just too thick-skinned.

He could only hold her soft body and comfort her, saying, "Being late is fine! It's too late to go now anyway, just take a day off."

Fan Shengmei nodded dejectedly: "That's the only way."

Then, disregarding the fact that her skin was exposed, she sat up and made a call to ask for leave before starting work, so as not to be treated as late or absent without leave.

After successfully getting a leave of absence, Fan Shengmei's face brightened up again.

With no worries about work, she focused her energy on Li Mu. Burying her head in his broad chest, she cautiously said, "Calling me 'Mr. Li' is too formal. May I call you by your name?"

Li Mu said, "Okay, you can just call me Li Mu from now on."

Fan Shengmei's mood brightened instantly. She stretched out her slender fingers and traced lines on Li Mu's chest, saying, "Then don't call me Sister Fan anymore, it sounds too old. Call me Xiao Mei instead."

Li Mu smiled and agreed, "Okay, from now on there will be no Sister Fan, only Xiao Mei, is that alright?"

Fan Shengmei nodded happily, a feeling of happiness filling her heart. She shifted her body, pressing the two even closer together.

……

Chapter 119 Exchange and Learning

Over the next few days, Fan Shengmei seemed to have gotten hooked on Li Mu and became attached to him.

However, without being recognized as a girlfriend, she couldn't explain the situation to her two roommates, and she didn't dare to move in openly.

Even in the following days, she would sneak over to Li Mu's place, only daring to do so after her two roommates had fallen asleep.

The reason is simple: she didn't become Li Mu's girlfriend, and Guan Juer also knew about Michelle's affair. Staying overnight without knowing the details made her look like a certain kind of person in her friends' eyes.

Mistress, third party, lover... Without the status of a legitimate girlfriend, she really didn't dare to stay openly, and she was even too ashamed to reveal her intimate relationship with Li Mu to the outside world.

Fortunately, Fan Shengmei has been getting up early these days to accompany Li Mu downstairs for a run, and it has become a habit.

The two girls who lived with me also knew.

So whenever Fan Shengmei secretly stayed overnight at Li Mu's place, she would pretend to get up early in the morning to go downstairs for morning exercise, and return to room 2202 covered in sweat.

When her girlfriends see this, they can give a perfectly legitimate explanation.

Fan Shengmei thought she had done it very discreetly and explained it perfectly, and Qiu Yingying was indeed fooled by her. However, Guan Juer was not so easily fooled.

However, Guan Juer didn't know how to face this matter, so she simply buryed her head in the sand and pretended not to know.

This gradually put Fan Shengmei at ease, and she became much bolder.

He would often go to Li Mu's house in a completely uninhibited manner, staying for several hours, ostensibly for "exchange and learning."

We did exchange ideas...and learned a lot, no problem!

……

Fan Shengmei is so humble; she has no official title and cannot make their relationship public, yet she is still so obedient and even puts in a lot of effort to change some of her bad habits, gradually becoming more elegant and ladylike.

Li Mu saw this and naturally couldn't remain silent. He couldn't let her suffer materially, and Fan Shengmei seemed to care about that too.

So, I took some time to accompany her to the mall twice. At the luxury boutiques, we picked out several outfits, bags, and cosmetics. Fan Shengmei was so happy that her eyes sparkled and her face was full of surprise.

For Fan Shengmei, who is decked out in counterfeit goods, luxury items are her favorite, yet something she can only dream of but never reach.

Whenever a new product comes out, if I really like it, I can only save up money to buy a high-quality replica from a counterfeit store to satisfy my craving.

Now that my dream has come true, I wear the latest fashions, carry the bag I used to envy and couldn't sleep at night, and use a full set of high-end cosmetics.

Fan Shengmei felt as if she had been elevated, and suddenly realized that she had chosen the right path, and this was the life she had always dreamed of.

He doesn't care about not having a girlfriend.

The only thing that troubled Fan Shengmei was that, despite wearing expensive clothes from head to toe, she was still very poor.

Her monthly salary is not small. She needs to pay rent, give her parents living expenses, and pay the mortgage for her brother's house. The little left is for her daily expenses.

For so many years, she has lived like this, not daring to change jobs, not daring to rent a bigger room, living a very frugal life, and not saving a single penny.

She knew this was abnormal, but what could she do? She had gotten used to it over the years. Could she really cut off her relationship with her family and stop sending money home?

She considered herself the pillar of the family, but she couldn't do it, so she could only endure it and find a wealthy husband who could help her share the burden.

Now that the person has been found, given her current relationship with Li Mu, can she really ask for money? Even if she did ask, and Li Mu gave it to her, what kind of relationship would that make them?

Being kept as a sugar daddy/sugar baby?

If you do that, forget about becoming his official girlfriend in the future; you'll never be able to hold your head high in front of him again, and you'll always feel inferior.

Fan Shengmei made up her mind that even if Li Mu offered it to her, she wouldn't accept it if he wasn't firm enough in his offer.

This is a matter of principle.

Unfortunately, Li Mu was willing to buy her things, but he never gave her money. Looking at her empty purse, Fan Shengmei felt regretful but also at ease, afraid that she would not be able to resist temptation.

She had considered selling some of the luxury goods Li Mu had given her to raise money, but then she gave up on the idea.

If Li Mu finds out that I sold the gift he gave me, what will he think of me?
