However, it's hard to say how many will succeed.

Even within her circle of wealthy young men, many don't publicly acknowledge girlfriends, but secretly have quite a few. Racing, drinking, chasing women… these aren't just empty words.

Besides, the man in front of her is even more outstanding than her friends. Although he doesn't have a girlfriend on the surface, who can say that he doesn't have one or two close female friends in private, or beautiful women who help him solve his physical problems?

Realizing this, Qu Xiaoxiao felt slightly disappointed, but what capable man wouldn't have a group of women eyeing him? Even she was watching him closely, seizing the opportunity to climb up.

If Li Mu were such a pure and devoted person, he would have had girlfriends by the time he was twenty-eight. If he had been won over and married by other women long ago, there would have been no chance for her.

She dared not hope that Li Mu, this dazzling diamond bachelor, was still celibate at twenty-eight and waiting specifically for her. Only a narcissistic and self-centered person would have such a childish and delusional thought.

Thinking of this, her face flushed slightly. However, things had come to this point. As someone Qu Xiaoxiao valued, and they had even slept together, she had to win him over. There was no reason for her to give up.

“Bad brother, I didn’t mean it that way. I just haven’t seen any other women around you before, and I was wondering if the other women were blind. Turns out there really are some around you.”

"Brother, who is this person? Do I know him? He's so lucky to have met you before I did."

Li Mu slapped her pert buttocks hard.

"You make it sound so nice, but knowing your personality, you wouldn't be trying to find out who it is and cause trouble for them in private, would you?"

Qu Xiaoxiao pouted and said, "No way, I'm a very well-behaved person. I'm not like that. I just wanted to get to know her and see what she looks like. How could she possibly climb into my brother's bed?"

Li Mu didn't hide anything; if Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to investigate, she couldn't keep it a secret.

"Actually, you know him, your neighbor upstairs!"

Qu Xiaoxiao's mouth dropped open in surprise; she hadn't expected the person to live upstairs. Her mind immediately started racing, trying to figure out which one it was.

First, we can rule out Andy. She has only recently returned to China and has only known Li Mu for a short time; they are not familiar with each other, so it's impossible for her to be there.

Again, we can rule out Qiu Yingying. She was in a passionate relationship with Manager Bai not long ago, so how could she possibly have anything to do with Li Mu?

Guan Juer can be ruled out. Such a well-behaved girl wouldn't be able to hide anything from Li Mu if it really happened between them, and she doesn't have the acting skills to back it up.

In the end, only Fan Shengmei remained. She was beautiful and had an extremely enviable figure. Apart from being a bit older, she was very similar in every way.

Moreover, according to Qu Xiaoxiao's observation, this Sister Fan is somewhat materialistic and money-grubbing, making her good material to be a mistress or mistress.

"Is it Sister Fan?"

Li Mu was slightly surprised: "Not bad, your little brain works quite well."

Qu Xiaoxiao said smugly, "Of course! Look at Sister Fan, she has such a great presence. She was born to be a mistress."

Li Mu was speechless: "Can't you speak more politely? People have offended you."

Qu Xiaoxiao snorted, thinking to herself, "Of course I've offended her. She even blocked my way. The man I've set my sights on has been beaten to a pulp by her. How shameless!"

But she said aloud, "No, I have a pretty good impression of Sister Fan. But she's too much of a show-off. She's not the kind of person who'd settle down and live a peaceful life. Luckily it's Brother Li Mu. If it were any other man, how many could tame her and support her? She wouldn't be as obedient as she is now."

Chapter 137

Li Mu said, "Sister Xiaoxiao, I underestimated you. I thought you would be angry, but I didn't expect you to be so insightful."

Qu Xiaoxiao smiled smugly: "Of course, don't you know who I am, Qu Xiaoxiao?"

Then, changing the subject, she hugged Li Mu tightly, nestled against his chest, and said, "However, it would be a lie to say I'm not angry. But thinking about it, you're so young, full of energy, you must have needs. Since you don't have a girlfriend, it's not bad to find someone nearby to take care of things."

"Sister Fan is just right. She's beautiful, lives nearby, and is always available. Plus, she's a bit materialistic, so you can easily get rid of her with money in the future. What a perfect candidate."

Li Mu was speechless. Qu Xiaoxiao really dared to speak her mind, immediately placing Fan Shengmei in the position of a mistress or concubine, and a very low-level one at that, used purely to solve physiological problems.

She outwardly claims she doesn't mind, but her actions are ruthless. If Li Mu is influenced by her words, Fan Shengmei will naturally be eliminated from her competition and become a beautiful woman who can only solve her physical needs.

He was about to say something when he realized that although he had decided not to date in this world, he still had a good feeling about Fan Shengmei. She was a bit materialistic, but she had a kind heart and a bit of chivalry.

If she had been born into a wealthy family like Qu Xiaoxiao's, she would definitely be a big sister figure, a rich and beautiful woman that everyone looks up to.

Unfortunately, being born into such a family is something Qu Xiaoxiao cannot understand.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Li Mu was stunned for a moment and was about to go over to see what was going on when Qu Xiaoxiao jumped up first.

"Brother Li Mu, I'll go." He clearly wanted to assert his sovereignty in front of outsiders.

Li Mu guessed that it was probably Fan Shengmei outside, but at this point, there was no way to hide it anymore, and he didn't intend to hide it either; he should face reality.

As the door slowly opened, Fan Shengmei, who had just sneaked downstairs in the dead of night, looked on with a hint of anticipation. Just as she was about to slip inside, she saw Qu Xiaoxiao, disheveled and beaming with desire.

We still don't know what happened.

Her mind went blank for a moment. She had imagined what it would be like to face Li Mu’s other women, but her target was Michelle. What was Qu Xiaoxiao doing in front of her?

Then he recalled how Qu Xiaoxiao had been acting all flirtatious these past few days, following Li Mu around every day, calling him "good brother," her expressions and actions were all seductive.

She knew Li Mu wasn't a saint, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get into his bed so easily. If she could do it, then Qu Xiaoxiao, being a rich and beautiful woman, could easily do it too, as long as she used some tricks.

Li Mu had not yet indicated who he wanted as his official girlfriend, and she thought that her only competitor was Michelle. During this time, she fawned over him in every way, and seeing that Li Mu's attitude towards her was getting better and better, she thought that her chances had greatly increased.

Unexpectedly, Qu Xiaoxiao interfered. Although she wasn't as pretty as her, she was a typical rich second-generation heiress, a "rich, beautiful, and fair-skinned" woman. In terms of conditions, she was much better than Qu Xiaoxiao, and she and Li Mu seemed to be a good match.

If she joins in, wouldn't my chances be even smaller?

The thought that he might lose everything he had now because of Qu Xiaoxiao's involvement, and that all his efforts would be in vain, made him furious. He grabbed Qu Xiaoxiao and said, "You vixen! I knew you had ill intentions all along, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my door so quickly."

Qu Xiaoxiao retorted just as sharply: "Sister Fan, we're in the same boat. Didn't you also deliver yourself to my door in the middle of the night? You still have the nerve to criticize me."

Fan Shengmei angrily said, "Li Mu and I have been together for a long time, so it's only right that I come. On the contrary, you shameless vixen, you've only been around for a few days and you've already climbed up to him."

Qu Xiaoxiao retorted without any politeness, "What do you mean you should be? Are you Li Mu's girlfriend? As far as I know, Li Mu doesn't have a girlfriend at all. So who are you to talk to me like that?"

Fan Shengmei was furious, but she didn't want to make a scene in front of Li Mu, so she grabbed Qu Xiaoxiao by the collar and pulled her towards the door.

"You little vixen, I don't want to lay a hand on you today. Go back to where you came from. Don't think that just because you've climbed into bed with me you can call this place your home."

Qu Xiaoxiao is proud and arrogant, and doesn't think much of Fan Shengmei. How could she be willing to be driven away by the other party? Isn't that being completely overshadowed by the other party?

Besides, if she leaves, Fan Shengmei will definitely take the opportunity to whisper in her ear tonight and say bad things about her. How can she allow such a gold digger to happen?

He reached out and grabbed Fan Shengmei's clothes: "Sister Fan, you're so old, how can you be so shameless?"

"Brother Li Mu is such a handsome, rich and successful man, he could have any woman he wanted. You really think you're something special. Just playing around."

"In my opinion, you should hurry upstairs! I'll take you to a couple of parties sometime and find you a couple of rich guys to have some fun with, and that will make up for your losses. Why bother with Brother Li Mu here?"

Upon hearing Qu Xiaoxiao's words, Fan Shengmei became even more enraged and, disregarding everything else, immediately took action.

Qu Xiaoxiao has a fiery personality and is unwilling to back down, so the two of them immediately became entangled.

However, there was a clear difference in height and physique between the two. Qu Xiaoxiao was no match for Fan Shengmei. In addition, Fan Shengmei was only wearing a nightgown when she came out. When she was torn, it fell off. Instantly, she screamed in fright and started to hide in Li Mu's bedroom.

Fan Shengmei persisted and followed closely behind.

With a headache on his face, Li Mu knew he couldn't watch any longer, so he hugged Fan Shengmei tightly to stop her from hitting him again. Fan Shengmei complied and immediately softened when she saw Li Mu step in.

However, Qu Xiaoxiao was not one to be taken advantage of. Seeing Fan Shengmei being held back by Li Mu with one arm around her waist and unable to fight back, she went up to give her a beating. Li Mu wouldn't let her add fuel to the fire, so he took a step forward and hugged Qu Xiaoxiao with his other arm.

Seeing the two glaring at each other as if they were about to fight, Li Mu was also in a bind. If this situation wasn't handled properly, he wouldn't be able to have any peace and quiet in the future.

With too little time to think of a suitable solution, Li Mu simply stopped thinking about it and threw both of them onto the bed, then kicked the bedroom door shut with his foot.

In this situation, facing two women who are on the verge of exploding at any moment, any attempt at persuasion is futile.

Only... the most primitive...

The next morning, Qu Xiaoxiao screamed when she saw the situation before her, then remembered the absurd things she had done in her emotional state the night before.

Fan Shengmei's face also turned bright red. Although she was usually very outgoing, she had never encountered a situation like this before.

After a moment of panic, they quickly put on their clothes. Enemies meeting again were filled with hatred, and the two clashed once more.

They started exchanging glances, then began talking, and eventually got more and more heated, each trying to shift the blame onto the other.

Just as he was about to make a big move, Li Mu, looking frustrated, pulled him back. He only got what he deserved; what happened last night was indeed absurd.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Mu didn't want the two women to stay in the same room any longer, lest something happen. He made an excuse to go downstairs for exercise and they each went home.

Qu Xiaoxiao is Qu Xiaoxiao after all; she quickly adjusted her emotions, as if she was completely unaffected by what happened last night.

"Sister Fan, don't think you can stick with Brother Li Mu like this. I advise you to let go as soon as possible and find an honest man to marry."

Fan Shengmei was immediately filled with anger: "Qu Xiaoxiao, why don't you look in the mirror? Do you have a better face or a better figure than me? Li Mu would never choose someone as flat-chested as you."

Qu Xiaoxiao was so angry that her nose was practically steaming when her sore spot was touched.

"Grandma, this is called exquisite, not small. Do you think you're pretty just because you look like a big cow?"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Li Mu finally managed to persuade them to stop. He now truly admired those playboys; he wondered how they managed to juggle so many women with such ease.

This kind of thing sounds brilliant, but you only realize how troublesome it is after you actually do it.

Chapter 138 Enemies meet

Two days have passed, and during these two days, Fan Shengmei and Qu Xiaoxiao have both become reserved. Although they don't like each other, they have refrained from contacting him at night.

Li Mu didn't care; it was just a spice in his life, and his main focus was still on the company.

With the expansion of its office space and the establishment of a Douyin (TikTok) development team, Yuandian Technology is increasingly resembling a large company. Just yesterday, Toutiao officially surpassed 50 million users and had over 30 million daily active users, making it a well-known internet startup in Shanghai.

The combined effect of fame and product success has attracted countless talents, and the total number of employees has exceeded two thousand and is still growing rapidly.

That day, Qu Xiaoxiao attended a party and was given several hairy crabs as gifts. On her way back, she happened to run into Fan Shengmei in the elevator.
