“The two seem to be on good terms, often having breakfast together. Sometimes Lou Yanli even tutors her. Xu Chaomu’s grades have indeed improved a lot recently.”

“Having breakfast together?” Shen Chi’s eyes showed a dangerous message.

“Yes…” The person in charge dared not say more.

Actually, it was much more than just having breakfast together.

“I see.”

Shen Chi quickly hung up the phone.

After dealing with everything at hand, Shen Chi lifted his wrist to check his watch.

It was just eight in the evening.

If he remembered correctly, she didn’t have a night self-study session today, so should he perhaps go and see her?

Shen Chi scoffed, go and see her, to see how far things have developed with her boyfriend.

With that thought, he headed to the garage, took out his Maybach, and drove over.

As it happened, Xu Chaomu and Lou Yanli had just left the study room.

Since Lou Yanli needed to go home, Xu Chaomu didn’t keep him.

Side by side, they walked to the small bamboo forest at the school and said a reluctant goodbye.

“You should get going, if you return late, your parents will worry,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Mhm, I’m heading back now. Take good care of yourself, drink some milk tonight, don’t study too late, your health is important.”

“I know, if I have any questions I’ll ask you tomorrow.”

“Alright. Here’s your book, take care of it, I’m off.”

Lou Yanli stuffed the textbooks and stationery he was carrying into Xu Chaomu’s hands, but still, he was reluctant to leave.

Once he left, he would have to wait until tomorrow to see her again, and he really didn’t want to leave.

The longer he spent with her these days, the more his fondness for her grew.

“Go on, bye, don’t miss me,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile, waving goodbye.

Lou Yanli smiled too, how could he not miss her?

In the bamboo forest, they waved goodbye. Xu Chaomu’s face wore a smile, looking even more pure and beautiful under the moonlight and the shadows of the bamboo.

As Shen Chi approached, he heard Xu Chaomu say “don’t miss me,” and he felt goosebumps all over his body.

His face darkened, and he stopped in his tracks.

By the moonlight, he saw Xu Chaomu bidding farewell to Lou Yanli, her face adorned with a serene and innocent smile.

Heh, now she was acting quite the lady in front of another man. Why had he never seen her shy in front of him?

She was nothing but a little hoodlum.

Looks like when he returned from South Africa, he would need to properly teach her what it meant for the red apricot to grow beyond the wall.

Shen Chi wasn’t feeling particularly impulsive that evening, waiting until Lou Yanli had disappeared from sight before he approached Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu stood in the bamboo forest, looking down and hugging her book, her reluctance evident.

Just as she was about to step on the bamboo leaves and head back, her wrist was suddenly seized by a forceful grip.

She was about to shout, but before a single word could escape her lips, her mouth was dominantly sealed by someone’s kiss.

There was no need for words with a kiss like this.

He couldn’t bear to hit her, nor scold her, so he might as well not let himself be at a loss, and just kiss her.

In under five seconds, Xu Chaomu knew who it was.

His body’s light fragrance of grass and wood was etched into her mind. Who else could it be but him?

Shen Chi had not seen her for many days and missed her terribly, so now, his longing was translated into a deep kiss.

The depth of his yearning was reflected in the length of the kiss.

He wrapped one arm around her waist and with the other cradled her face, bent over and kissed her, passionately and selflessly.

Xu Chaomu struggled hard, but her efforts were in vain before him.

And who knew, perhaps this man had kissed many women, because his kissing skills were really good. Xu Chaomu felt as if currents were running through her body, wave after wave, leaving her without the strength even to struggle.

The bamboo forest was dim, with the moon hidden behind clouds.

Xu Chaomu immediately thought of two words, secret affair.

Thinking of this, her heart twisted.

Lifting her foot, she pressed it hard onto his black dress shoe.

She put all her strength into it, her heel grinding harshly on the top of his foot.

Shen Chi, in pain, finally released her, gasping.

“Are you acting like it doesn’t hurt?” he said, caressing her hair and looking deep into her eyes.

That kick of hers really hurt, and he furrowed his brows in pain.

“Oh, does it hurt? Good, it should hurt!”

Xu Chaomu gave him a sly look and stomped down again when he wasn’t watching!

This time, Shen Chi reacted quickly, pressing her against the wall with his knee against her legs.

His actions were quick and didn’t leave her a chance to strike.

She was indeed getting bold, thinking Shen Chi was made of iron?

He pinned her restless hands down, leaving her no chance to resist.

“You little rascal, you think you’re all grown up? I haven’t seen you in days, and you’ve become wilder,” he said in a deep voice, echoing attractively through the night, laced with a hint of helplessness and indulgence.

“Shen Chi, what are you trying to do?” Xu Chaomu looked at him warily.

He was a real wolf in sheep’s clothing!

“Nothing much, just heard you got yourself a boyfriend?”

“You must have heard wrong. How could it be just one? Let me think… one, two, three… haha, looks like eight, no, nine.”

“Not keeping an eye on you for a few days and you’re getting bolder. When did you buy this dress?”

Shen Chi squinted his eyes, scrutinizing her under the dim moonlight.

She was wearing a light green dress today, fresh and elegant like a lotus leaf, giving her an air of ladylike grace.

Indeed, a few days apart and she was even wearing dresses.

But, it was quite pretty; he couldn’t tear his eyes away.

“A boyfriend took me to buy it, does it look nice? Isn’t he more tasteful than you?”

“It’s ugly,” Shen Chi said sternly.

“Ugly? If Shen Chi, the fourth young master, thinks it’s ugly, then that must be right. It was never for you to see anyway. Get lost to where it’s cool. Oh, by the way, did you get your wedding photos done? Have you chosen the wedding dress?”

A twitch appeared at the corner of Shen Chi’s mouth. He utters two words, and she has to retort with a barrage.

“Xu Chaomu, if you dare to say another word, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to speak,” Shen Chi warned her in a stern voice.

Xu Chaomu immediately shut up, ‘not being able to speak’… meant something explicit.

The shameless man! Son of a turtle! Shameless!

“I’ll ask a question, you answer one.”

Shen Chi touched her cheek, hm, now she’s being obedient.

Xu Chaomu glanced at him disdainfully.

“Are the midterms coming up?” Shen Chi asked.

“Yes.”

“How are the preparations? What rank are you planning to get this time?”

“None of your damn business!”

Shen Chi was left speechless.

In front of Lou Yanli, she was so refined and ladylike, but in his presence, she always revealed her true self.

“For a girl, you should care about your image,” Shen Chi said helplessly.

“Shen Chi, have you forgotten? We’ve already notarized our separation, I have nothing to do with the Shen Family anymore! So, even if I disgrace myself, it’s my own business, it won’t tarnish your reputation as the fourth young master.”
