“Xu Chaomu.”
Shen Chi didn’t know when he had appeared at the doorway, calling out her name with a cold voice from across the gate.
Xu Chaomu initially thought she was hallucinating. Lifting her head and using the light, she saw Shen Chi’s icy face, his deep-set eyes gazing at her as if she were prey.
He wore a gray night robe, tall and imposing, his figure exuding a cold allure, yet his presence was undeniably powerful despite his languid posture. Xu Chaomu hurriedly wiped away her tears. She refused to cry in front of this man!
“The moon is beautiful tonight, don’t you agree, Shen Chi? Are you out here to enjoy it as well?”
Xu Chaomu made a show of looking at the moon above, but who could tell her where the moon actually was?
She had just told a very unintelligent lie.
Shen Chi furrowed his brows and replied coldly, “Do you plan to admire the moon all night out here?”
“Otherwise?”
“Heh, then keep admiring it!” Shen Chi snorted coldly and turned to leave.
He wanted to see just how stubborn she could be.
“Bastard Shen Chi, I’m telling you, if you have a problem with me, confront me openly. What kind of man takes private revenge at school!” Xu Chaomu finally erupted after holding it in all day.
In the darkness of the night, within the shadow of the lights, she saw that the man’s figure hadn’t moved an inch.
“Xu Chaomu, what right do you have to command me?” Shen Chi chuckled coldly, full of disdain, without even turning his head.
“Right, I have no rights. Your surname is Shen, mine is Xu. So, you also have no right to command me from now on!”
“It seems the sun hasn’t tanned you enough!” Shen Chi’s voice was exceptionally harsh in the night.
“Bastard Shen Chi, let me tell you, I won’t listen to you ever again. You think you’re so great because you have money, because you’re capable. I was just adopted by the Shen family; one day, I will leave you all!”
Shen Chi’s body stiffened in the darkness. He had never considered that one day, this little wild cat’s claws would scratch at his heart.
He thought she wouldn’t dare, but unexpectedly, there indeed came a day when she left without a word. And she was gone for a full five years! In the silent night, Xu Chaomu could even hear her own breathing.
Why wasn’t he speaking?
This man’s silence was somehow more frightening than when he spoke.
“I’m telling you, if you still think of me as your sister, then open the door. I can let bygones be bygones. I’m generous not petty like you,” Xu Chaomu once again fearlessly added.
Shen Chi’s face was as dark as it could be, his eyes emitting an icy glare.
Finally, he turned around, opened the gate, but before Xu Chaomu could react, he pushed her, pressing her against the wall!
“Xu Chaomu, who gave you the courage? Huh?” he roared.
He was like a lion in the night, his eyes bloodshot. Gripping her shoulders, his fingers seemed to be trying to dig into her shoulder blades!
Xu Chaomu trembled with fear, her shoulders aching…
She had joked with him before, but he had never been this angry.
She was so terrified that she dared not take an extra breath, feeling that even one more glance at him could prove fatal.
She finally understood why everyone said Shen Chi was cold and ruthless, why everyone was scared of him. She had previously doubted it, but now she was witnessing it herself.
It was just… a joke she made with him.
“Fourth Brother… let go… it hurts… I won’t curse at you again, I won’t call your name… sob, please let go…”
Her shoulders really hurt.
“Answer me! Who gave you the guts to leave!”
Xu Chaomu was on the verge of tears, “I was just talking, really…”
She understood then, that no pet owner allowed their pet cat to leave – it was a contemptuous gesture towards the owner’s honor.
And Shen Chi, accustomed to his high status, would especially never allow it!
She glanced at him once more, his gaze still fierce. Due to his overly violent actions, his night robe had come undone halfway, revealing a large expanse of his appealing skin.
If it had been any other time, Xu Chaomu would have thrown herself at him, but now, she didn’t dare.
Not just now, but never again in the future—this man was not someone she could approach.
“Xu Chaomu, you never take what I say to heart,” Shen Chi glanced at her and finally let go.
“I have a bad memory!” Xu Chaomu pouted.
“In the future, will you dare to wear short skirts again?”
“I won’t,” though in her heart Xu Chaomu thought “I will,” but this was not the time to argue with Shen Chi.
“Will you dare to date young boys again?”
“…” Xu Chaomu refused to speak; damn it, he was starting to control her again!
“Speak!”
“I don’t date young boys, so who should I date? If you’re so able, don’t date Bai Man and keep me company!” Xu Chaomu retorted, glaring at him.
“Fine. ”
“…” Xu Chaomu had stepped into a trap.
She stared at him with wide eyes. He actually said “fine”??
Xu Chaomu was dumbfounded for a long while.
“Stop standing there, you’re in the way!” Shen Chi pulled her wrist and dragged her inside the villa.
His overbearing strength, his domineering gaze, hadn’t changed a bit! “Hey, hey, the gate’s not closed!” Xu Chaomu kept looking back.
“Someone will close it!”
“But aren’t they all asleep? I knocked for ages and no one came to open the door! ”
“I told them not to open it, who would dare to?” Shen Chi scoffed.
Damn!
Xu Chaomu felt near collapse on the inside.
He tossed her into the room and frowned disdainfully, “What’s that strange smell on you, go take a shower!”
Was there? Xu Chaomu sniffed herself but detected nothing. She had only enjoyed a delicious barbecue that evening.
Yet, seeing Shen Chi frowning under the bright light, she finally regained the feeling of being around her Fourth Brother.
If he remained as he was outside just then, she really would have been scared.
“Okay, I’ll take a shower. What about you? Are you going to sleep with me tonight?” Xu Chaomu blinked, reverting back to her usual self, as if her nature to provoke had never left.
Indeed, her memory was as good as a goldfish’s, only seven seconds long!
“Fine,” Shen Chi curved his lips into a smile, looking at her with amusement in his eyes.
Uh… It was Xu Chaomu’s turn to be dumbfounded. Was Shen Chi on the wrong medication today?
No, no, no, that couldn’t be right. Bai Man was still at the Shen family home. What was this? Trying to entice someone’s fiancé? A mistress?
“Shameless!” Xu Chaomu could only glower at him.
“You’ve always been the shameless one first,” Shen Chi said lightly.
“Fourth Brother, go embrace your beautiful Bai. She must feel so good in your arms,” Xu Chaomu sneered with a sly smile.
“Then why don’t you let this young master give you a hug first, hm?”
Shen Chi shamelessly looked at her, his dark, profound eyes fixed on her face.
During the day, she was pretty good at pretending to be a lady in front of Lou
Yanli, but now, she was so unrestrained in his presence.
But… shamelessness was indeed her true nature!
“Fourth Brother… doesn’t this look like we’re having an affair? Don’t forget, your fiancée is still here!” Xu Chaomu batted her eyes, curious to see how this man would respond..
