Chapter 604: 604, Chu Er dominatingly bullies the scum

“They’re back! They’re back!” Someone was shouting.

Shi Huan stepped out of the elevator, her petite face filled with confusion as she stared at the disorderly crowd by her front door.

Most of them were men and none of them looked easy to deal with. Their expressions were fierce and they held clubs in their hands, ready to start a fight.

A familiar woman was charging directly towards her, clutching her handbag and ready to smash it into Shi Huan.

In a nick of time, Shi Huan’s waist tightened and her feet were lifted off the ground.

Chu Xiuhuang had picked her up and held her against himself.

With a quick turn, they evaded the woman’s attack.

The woman missed, brake too late and collided into the wall with a dull groan.

She turned swiftly and pointed at Shi Huan, opening her mouth wide to curse, “You malicious woman, what on earth did my son do to offend you? You had him bitten by a dog, my poor boy is in horrible shape, his face is disfigured! If anything happens to him, I’ll ensure you pay!”

That’s when Shi Huan recognized her as Zhu Mingpeng’s mother and hurriedly tried to explain, “Ms. Zhu, it was your son who started…”

“You dare argue back!” Zhu’s wife hysterically interrupts her and turned to a burly middle-aged man to admonish, “Big brother, this shameless woman is the one. Quickly grab her and get her to the police station, I want to charge her with intentional injury, I want her to pay and be put in jail!”

Just as the man had wanted to advance, Shi Huan instinctively retreated behind Chu Xiuhuang.

“Try touching my girlfriend and see what happens.” Chu Xiuhuang’s voice resounded instantaneously.

The man who was about to advance immediately halted in his tracks.

Chu Xiuhuang’s voice was not particularly loud; in fact, it could be described as low and calm, but his intimidating aura, tall stature, cold expression, and demon-like charm was enough to deter anyone.

Zhu’s wife was also taken aback, but she quickly returned with a mocking sneer, “I’ve heard all about how promiscuous the young Miss of Shi family, you’re really good at seducing men. What a surprise, you’re returning home this late with a man in tow, really living up to your reputation! No wonder you never agreed to date my son, you just couldn’t set your sights on him and decided to rely on some other man early on!”

“I must commend your discerning eye, recognizing that I am indeed the better catch. Isn’t it quite normal for Huanhuan to disregard your disgusting and incompetent son?”

Chu Xiuhuang narrowed his eyes, a mocking smile playing on his lips, “Having a few bites from a dog might serve as a deserved lesson to not overreach his station.”

Upon hearing her son being belittled, Zhu’s wife felt a sting. She was enraged and let out a hysterical scream, “Big brother, get them, take them to the police station!”

“Whoever dares to touch her, I will chop his hands off.”

Not only did Chu Xiuhuang’s words make the men shudder, even Shi Huan felt an intense fear.

His tone was still nonchalant, yet it instilled an inexplicable fear.

Zhu’s wife’s big brother scrutinized this carefully.

Chu Xiuhuang was outfitted in a crisp black suit with handmade shoes to match.

From top to bottom, he was impeccably clean with no speck of dirt to be seen.

Even without introducing himself, one could tell he was from a different world and not someone they could afford to offend.

His expression made it clear – If he was daring enough to say it, he would go ahead to do just as promised.

Zhu’s wife continued to yell recklessly, “How dare you! We live in a lawful society, I’m calling the police to arrest you!”

“Call the police?” Chu Xiuhuang thinned his lips, pulling out his phone and dialing a number, “Director Wang, I’m giving you 10 minutes. Send someone to Unit 1, Building 5 of Meijiayuan, 9th floor.”

Upon the mention of “Director Wang,” Zhu’s wife’s brother’s face changed, “Who… Who are you exactly?”

Upon ending the call, Chu Xiuhuang smiled, his gaze seductive and devilish, “That good-for-nothing son of yours is now in Nangong Hospital, the best in Nancheng. I received the diagnosis an hour ago, just minor injuries without any harm to his tendons or bones. So you’re here now chasing after my girlfriend for money? Or seeking revenge? If it’s for money, you’re certainly barking up the wrong tree. The medical and hospitalization bills have been fully paid. Even if the police came, everything is clear. If you’re carrying thoughts of seeking revenge, well…”

He tightened his hold on Shi Huan and sneered, “I’m telling you right now, Huanhuan is my, Chu Xiuhuang’s woman. You can try laying a hand on her.”

The mere mention of Chu Xiuhuang’s name had Zhu’s wife’s brother gasping for air.

…

Shi Huan had been listening to him all along.

For the first time, she realized Chu Xiuhuang could be so patient, explaining in detail.

If this had been before, wouldn’t he have thrown punches already?

After all, this Chu heir was never known for his patience.

But slowly, her vision started to stall.

Chu Xiuhuang’s hand was tightly holding hers.

As if protecting her.

The man’s fingers were clearly outlined, slender but powerful, bathed in a masculine shade of bronze.

The woman’s hand was delicate, seemingly boneless, completely enveloped within his.

A strange sense of ambiguity.

Shi Huan’s heart experienced a slight flutter.

Could it be that Chu Xiuhuang…

Really had those kinds of feelings for her?

That’s impossible.

When they first met seven years ago, he was in love with her sister.

The job he gave her five years ago was merely out of guilt, a favor for the Shi Family.

After so many years of knowing each other, apart from Chu Xiuhuang’s recent inexplicable behavior, everything else had been normal.

She shook her head vigorously.

At that moment, a big hand suddenly landed on the top of her head.

It stopped her head shaking, and also suspended her wild thoughts.

Shi Huan came back to reality, only to realize those hooligans in the corridor had disappeared.

Uh.

She turned her face to see the man’s long, narrow and charming phoenix eyes.

They were very close.

Close enough to smell the strong masculine scent on him, mixed with a faint smell of tobacco and alcohol along with his gaze—focused, deep, staring at her as if carrying an unspoken and indescribable emotion.

Her heartbeats became somewhat erratic.

Shi Huan quickly averted her eyes, “Where have they gone?”

“I scared them off.”

Shi Huan: “…”

She coughed twice, “Thank you for just now.”

“Just treat me to a meal.”

“Another meal?” Shi Huan’s mouth twitched.

Chu Xiuhuang slightly lifted his eyebrow, grinning, “Why are you so nervous?”

Shi Huan: “…”

Shouldn’t she be nervous?

Just one meal had cost her nearly 200,000 RMB.

Another one, and she’d go bankrupt.

“Chu… ”

“After talking for so long, I’m a bit thirsty.” Chu Xiuhuang suddenly interrupted, pursing his lips, “Aren’t you going to invite me in for a drink?”

“Alright then.” Shi Huan could only take out her house keys.

As soon as they entered, Chu Xiuhuang immediately put on his personal slippers, just like he was entering his own home, nonchalantly walking over to sit on the living room sofa and even hitched up his leg.

“What do you think, isn’t this couch quite comfortable?”

Shi Huan dryly laughed, “Hmm.”

The luxurious large sofa that Young Master Chu had splurged half a million RMB on was big, spacious, and soft. Describing it as great would be an understatement.

It was incredibly comfortable.

Shi Huan put down her bag, “Master Chu, what would you like to drink?”

“I’d like Biluochun tea.”

“We don’t have any tea at home.”

Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue immediately, “What’s the reason?”

Shi Huan felt compelled to explain, “We usually don’t have guests over.”

So, she usually drank plain boiled water.

Hearing this, Chu Xiuhuang suddenly raised his eyebrows in amusement, “So, my slippers haven’t been worn by any other man, have they?”

“Definitely not.”

Forget other men, aside from Chu Xiuhuang, no other man has even entered this room. Besides, those slippers were bought by Chu Xiuhuang himself. She wouldn’t let any other man wear them.

She did have that bit of emotional intelligence.

Chu Xiuhuang couldn’t help but smile, “Then make me some fruit juice.”

After all, making juice takes a bit more time.

“Alright.”

Her phone started ringing again at that moment.

Shi Huan went into the kitchen, whereas Chu Xiuhuang picked up the call, “Mom, what can I do for you?”

**

In the kitchen, Shi Huan opened the fridge, but could only find a wilting apple.

Ever since Shi Minyan and Tu Youran returned to the country, Little Luoluo had been taken back home.

With no little girl around, Shi Huan lived alone and rarely cooked. Even the interest in buying groceries and snacks was lost.

This one apple was not enough for making juice either.

She wanted to ask Chu Xiuhuang whether he would mind drinking boiled water, but just as she approached the kitchen door, she heard Chu Xiuhuang’s voice.

“Mom, I already have a woman I like. I will bring her to meet you someday.”

“…”

“Why not?” His voice suddenly turned stern.

Shi Huan was startled and turned back around immediately.

The man’s voice was still talking, but she could no longer hear clearly what he was saying.

Once everything was quiet outside again, Shi Huan walked out with a cup of water, “We’re out of fruit, Master Chu. Would you like boiled water?”

Chu Xiuhuang clicked his tongue unhappily.

Shi Huan thought he was displeased with the plain water, but then…

“Didn’t I bring my own cup last time? Why are you still giving me a disposable cup!”

Shi Huan sheepishly replied, “I forgot.”

Chu Xiuhuang glanced at her, visibly displeased, “Remember next time!”

“Oh.”

Finally satisfied, Chu Xiuhuang took the paper cup, lowered his eyes, and began to sip the water slowly.

The man had beautiful fingers, and his way of drinking water was elegantly graceful. Anyone who didn’t know would probably think he was savoring a heavenly elixir.

Shi Huan quickly checked the time.

It was already past 9 o’clock.

But Chu Xiuhuang showed no intention of leaving, leisurely sipping his water and appreciating the room’s decor.

After about 10 minutes, Shi Huan couldn’t hold back any longer, “Master Chu, it’s getting late.”

Chu Xiuhuang looked at his left wristwatch, and genuinely nodded, “Yes, it is already 10 o’clock.”

“Indeed, indeed.” Shi Huan eagerly agreed.

Chu Xiuhuang smirked.

Shi Huan: “…”

Feeling that there was no alternative, she asked outright, “Master Chu, do you need me to accompany you home?”

The smile disappeared from Chu Xiuhang’s face.

Shi Huan again: “…”

What now?

So moody.

Chu Xiuhuang coldly asked, “Do you know why I escorted you up the stairs?”

Shi Huan blinked, “…”

“Do you know why I didn’t initiate anything?”

Shi Huan continued to blink, “…”

Suddenly, he put down the paper cup and stood up.

Shi Huan quickly said, “Master Chu, let me escort you.”

Chu Xiuhuang: “…”

With his hands in his pockets, his eyes half-closed and a smirk playing on his lips, he got up, preparing to leave.

Shi Huan let out a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

Surprisingly, he suddenly turned around when they were passing the coffee table. Then she felt a trip at her feet.

“Ah!”

“Be careful!”

Shi Huan instantly lost her balance and stumbled forward.

In the ensuing chaos, she heard a hefty grunt.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” Shi Huan quickly apologized.

Attempting to get up, Chu Xiuhuang let out an even more suppressed groan.

At the same time.

Shi Huan felt a jolt in her brain.

Like she had touched an electric wire, she abruptly sprang up, blushing furiously.

She stole a glance at him and, as expected, Chu Xiuhuang also had an awkward expression on his face.

Actually, he had only intended to trip her over and then catch her in his arms, concocting a plan to get closer. Unfortunately, things took an awkward turn…

This time, they had messed up big time.

The room was just big enough for the two of them, and the situation was extremely…

After a brief shock, Shi Huan rushed to open the door, “Master Chu.”

Chu Xiuhuang sat there, a scowl on his face and a harsh tone in his voice, “What are you doing?”
