Deep breaths, deep breaths.
Stay calm, stay calm.
The black car window slowly lowered, and in the dim night, Shen Chiâs face was especially cold and aloof. His all-black shirt blended with the car, making him seem like the King of Asura from Hell, his whole body radiating a bone-chilling, icy aura.
His profile was as sharply defined as if carved by a knife, his thin lips lightly pursed, devoid of any smile, even⦠a hint of anger was rising up.
Xu Chaomu kept retreating backward relentlessly.
She wanted to run away!
Lou Yanli recognized Shen Chi, Xu Chaomu called him Fourth Brother.
Seeing Xu Chaomuâs frightened demeanor, he grabbed her hand and spoke softly, âItâs okay, Iâm here.â
Shen Chi turned his head, kicked open the car door with a âbang,â his movements fierce and rough.
He stepped up to Xu Chaomu and Lou Yanli, and his towering figure immediately cast a large shadow over them.
âGet your ass over here!â
Shen Chiâs complexion was ice-cold, as he roared at Xu Chaomu, who was behind Lou Yanli.
Xu Chaomu was practically hiding behind Lou Yanli; she didnât know what she had done to provoke Shen Chi.
Just yesterday, he had still smiled at her.
It was he himself who had first left after receiving Bai Manâs call, and today, he was the one who had come back with the Bai Family to discuss the marriage.
What the hell did it have to do with her? Why the hell was he flaming mad at her?
âIâm not going over there,â Xu Chaomu took two more steps backward, tilting her little face up defiantly.
âIâll say it again, get the fuck over here!â Shen Chiâs eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a bloodthirsty lion.
The rage was about to burst!
Lou Yanli extended his hand to shield Xu Chaomu, and said indifferently,
âDonât force Chaomu, she doesnât want to go with you.â
âGet lost, itâs not your turn to speak here!â
Shen Chi, not knowing what had irritated him, strode forward, forcefully grabbed Xu Chaomuâs petite frame, and dragged her towards the car.
Lou Yanli chased after them, âLet go of Chaomu, if you really are her Fourth
Brother, you shouldnât treat her like this, she will hate you!â
Shen Chi kicked Lou Yanli away, threw Xu Chaomu onto the passenger seat, closed the car door, and completed the action smoothly.
Stepping on the accelerator, he drove the car out of the amusement park.
âLou Yanli! Lou Yanli!â Xu Chaomu yelled out the window.
She really felt quite sorry for Lou Yanli.
âShen Chi, youâre really despicable, why did you come here, to monitor me 24 hours a day? When will you stop meddling with me? Just say it, is it after the engagement or after the wedding? Get it clear today!â
An eerily cold and bone-penetrating aura pervaded Shen Chi from head to toe.
âDespicable? Xu Chaomu, am I more despicable than you? The Lou family is very wealthy, arenât they? I underestimated you before.â
âWhat do you mean? Make yourself clear.â
âWhat do I mean? You pretend not to understand?â
Shen Chi slammed on the brakes violently, his movements exceptionally rough, and the car immediately stopped at a deserted intersection!
Xu Chaomu wasnât seated steadily and her head hit the window hard. Before she could cry out in pain, Shen Chiâs long index finger pinched her chin, his gaze sharp and his grip strong.
âShen Chi, what have you eaten to be so irritable? How have I annoyed you? Could it be that youâre in a bad mood because Bai Manâs parents canât stand you? Serves you right!â
Xu Chaomu was utterly unyielding.
Shen Chi, this man, always managed to push her to her limits.
She thought resentfully, why should she be constantly accommodating him, why should she obediently be his pet cat? Anyway, it wouldnât be long before she would leave.
Best if she never saw him again in her life.
Bastard!
âXu Chaomu, you really want to marry me, donât you?â Shen Chi growled through clenched teeth.
Xu Chaomuâs heartbeat skipped a beat.
Her chin hurt from his pinch, and she frowned in struggle: âDonât flatter yourself, you think every girl likes you? Look in the mirror, you old man! Bastard!â
Even though she truly wanted to marry him, when her pride was shattered by him, her heart was shattered too.
âDonât make me hate you!â Shen Chiâs tone was full of disgust.
For eight years, this was the first time he had spoken to her with such an attitude.
Xu Chaomu was stunned, forgetting the pain in her chin.
Was her love for him really such an embarrassing thing for him?
Was she even unworthy of loving him?
Yes, he was the most dazzling man in C City, a high and mighty king. She could only look up to him, only listen to his words.
Being loved by her must have made him feel ashamed.
Xu Chaomu stopped talking. She lowered her eyelids and remained silent, letting the pain in her heart spread bit by bit.
It was like the wild grass that filled the mountains, taking over her heart, leaving it barrenâ¦
When Xu Chaomu talked back to him, he had the energy to scold her, but as soon as she fell silent, it threw him into turmoil.
But on remembering the conversation he overheard yesterday, he couldnât help but put even more force into pinching her chin.
âDonât play the pity card in front of me. From today on, you will move to the room on the north side of the Shen Familyâs house! Vacate your room for Bai
Man!â
Xu Chaomu looked up in astonishment. Yes, these were the words he had said.
On Shen Chiâs face, she saw undeniable coldness and, of course, the ever-present disgust.
He was ordering her, telling her to give her room to Bai Man.
âItâs not that much trouble. After I go back, Iâll pack a few clothes, and I will leave the Shen Family,â she said lightly.
Finally, he was driving her away.
When Zhou Ran drove her away, she refused to leave because she had said that she would only leave if he didnât want her anymore. And the day had come.
He didnât want her anymore, so she would leave.
It was simple.
Her thick skin didnât mean she had no pride.
âThe fuck I allowed you to leave?â Shen Chi burst into another rage, his eyes boiling with hot blood.
A surge of annoyance rose in his chest, needing just a spark to ignite!
âShen Chi, either I leave or I continue to live in this room. Donât push me!â Xu Chaomu was also angry.
Damn it, she really wanted to slap this man to death!
She better not get the chance because she really would strangle him!
And so, they stood, eye to eye, sparks flying between them, neither willing to back down.
Time passed by the second, and in the quiet of the car, they could hear each otherâs breathing.
And Xu Chaomuâs heartbeat, thumping in her chest.
Each second felt as if it spanned a century.
In the end, it was Shen Chi who conceded.
He felt ridiculous; he had vast power, boundless capabilities, but he was helpless against Xu Chaomu.
He had no idea what to do with her.
If it were someone else who dared to leave, he would have immediately had their legs broken.
Now, even though she might stay by his side for his money, for his power, after the outburst, he still pathetically wanted to keep her.
Gradually, his hand dropped.
The air once again filled with a quiet, cool current, silent as the grave.
âConsider what I just said as unsaid,â he compromised.
He resettled himself in the driverâs seat, his gaze fixed ahead, his deep, dark eyes as if filled with endless darkness.
His hands rested on the steering wheel, the whole man leaning back in his seat, overwhelmed with a sense of powerlessness.
Xu Chaomu touched her head; she had just banged it against the window, which hurt, and then there was her chinâ¦
Damn it, this man was simply a tyrant!
