Shen Chi’s face grew three degrees colder as he glared at her and spat out two words, “Get in!”

Xu Chaomu, holding a snack bag in one hand and grabbing Lou Yanli’s arm with the other, giggled and said, “Thanks, Fourth Brother, we were just saying we wanted to go to the park!”

Lou Yanli was also very polite, calling out “Fourth Brother”. Shen Chi ignored him, his eyes fixed only on Xu Chaomu.

“You get in here!”

Xu Chaomu still clutched Lou Yanli’s arm, “Let’s go, Fourth Brother is offering us a ride, saving us from taking the bus.”

Lou Yanli, noticing something off in Shen Chi’s gaze, laughed, “Your Fourth Brother seems to have something to say to you. You go ahead; we can hang out some other time.”

“He has nothing to say to me. That’s just the way he is. I bet he argued with his girlfriend and is in a bad mood! If you’re not going, I won’t either. Let’s go!”

Xu Chaomu, still clutching Lou Yanli’s arm, walked boldly past Shen Chi’s car.

Shen Chi, infuriated, got out of the car and dragged Xu Chaomu by the arm into the passenger seat.

As soon as she sat down, he closed the car door and window, to no avail as Xu Chaomu pounded on the window.

Lou Yanli watched from the side, dumbfounded. Is this really his brother?

With a press of the accelerator, the Maybach shot off like an arrow!

“What are you doing? This is broad daylight, kidnapping a civilian girl!” Xu Chaomu complained.

“I haven’t even asked you what you’re doing!”

Two overbearing gazes shot her wav, and Xu Chaomu’s heart skipped a beat!

Stay calm, calm, calm!

“Dating, can’t you see? Is my boyfriend handsome?”

“Handsome? Handsomer than me?” Shen Chi stated this confidently, without the slightest blush or flicker of the heart.

How can there be such a self-loving and frivolous man in the world! Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched.

“Way handsomer than you. Plus, he’s young, full of life, brimming with youth…. Ah! Jerk!”

While Xu Chaomu rattled on, Shen Chi slammed the brakes, the tires screeching, “shhh—”, and the speeding Maybach halted by the roadside!

Xu Chaomu quickly grasped the seatbelt, her heart nearly leaping out!

Shen Chi leaned in, his icy face enlarged in Xu Chaomu’s view, growing bigger, and bigger!

“Calling it lively to accompany you to a movie? Calling it youth to feed you a few bites of popcorn? Xu Chaomu, I must say, you’re quite skilled at seducing boys.”

“Who am I seducing? Shen Chi, watch your tone! Who I date is none of your damn business! Aren’t you getting married? I know that!” Xu Chaomu snapped his name angrily. “Jealous?”

“Jealous of your uncle!”

“You’re nothing like the Xu Chaomu who stood shyly at the cinema entrance just now,” Shen Chi stared into her eyes.

Dammit, he always had a way to enrage her! She could be so ladylike, but with him, she always reverted back to her usual self!

“What’s it to you how I am? I’m not young anymore, so stop trying to control me! My surname is Xu, not Shen; I have nothing to do with you!” Xu Chaomu yelled back at him, this man was always so overbearing. “Not young? I think you’re very much a child.”

When Shen Chi said this, he deliberately paused for a few seconds at her neckline. She dared to wear a low-cut shirt out, completely ignoring his warning.

Xu Chaomu really wanted to leap up and fight him. She was arguing seriously, and he was making dirty jokes!

“Shen Chi, do you have no shame?” Xu Chaomu covered her chest, pulling her neckline higher.

“Shouldn’t I be asking you that? No boobs and yet daring to wear a low-cut top, it’s embarrassing for me.”

“You think everyone likes cows like you do? You find me embarrassing, and I find you vulgar!” Xu Chaomu didn’t hold back, clashing with Shen Chi head-on.

“Learned to talk back to me, have you? How impressive,” Shen Chi tapped her cheek, his lips curling into an almost-smile.

Before Xu Chaomu could say anything, Shen Chi switched to a warning tone, “You’re not allowed to date other men from now on!”

“There are so many things you forbid me from doing; if I listened to you all the time, would I have any freedom left?”

“I’ve heard that Lou Yanli has started a company.”

Xu Chaomu was taken aback, he even knew Lou Yanli’s name?

“What are you implying?”

Shen Chi hooked up the corner of his lips, “If you don’t want his family to go bankrupt, then be obedient.”

“Shameless!” Xu Chaomu almost jumped up, “I really want to let Dabai out to bite you!”

“Dabai is my dog, will it listen to you?”

Xu Chaomu felt that she’d never win an argument with Shen Chi in her lifetime; he was just a shameless scoundrel!

Shen Chi drove Xu Chaomu around the lake, with her puffing up in anger, ignoring him the whole way.

Shen Chi took her down to stroll through the park, and Xu Chaomu followed reluctantly, looking like a mistreated little wife.

On the way, Shen Chi’s phone rang many times. Only when he got impatient did he answer it.

“President Shen, some shareholders are causing trouble.”

“I’m busy!”

“This… could you please come to the group to have a look? Shen’s major shareholder insists on seeing you.”

“I told you I’m not available!”

Shen Chi frowned and hung up the phone. Xu Chaomu rolled her eyes, “Liar.”

The smile on the corner of Shen Chi’s mouth deepened, and he continued to walk with Xu Chaomu in the park.

Today happened to be Saturday, and the park was full of people. The elderly men and women around all cast envious glances.

It was Xu Chaomu’s first time being the center of attention. Just as she strutted proudly, she realized that all these people were looking at Shen Chi!

She deflated immediately, regretting walking beside him.

“Young girl, who’s this guy? He’s quite handsome.” An old lady approached, sizing up Shen Chi as if she wanted to pick him out as a son-in-law.

“He is my…”

“I am her husband,” Shen Chi said casually.

Xu Chaomu’s eyes widened. What did he say? What?

He’s her husband? Had she heard that right?!

Colors came and went on Xu Chaomu’s face like a dye workshop, and her heart thumped uncontrollably!

The old lady looked disappointed but still complimented Xu Chaomu,’”Your little wife looks pretty and spirited; she seems quite young.”

After the old lady left, the other old men and women wandered away too.

For some reason, Xu Chaomu felt as though flowers were blooming in her heart.

“What did you just say you are to me? Say it again, let me hear.”

“What, what.” Shen Chi appeared indifferent.

“What you just said you are to me! Say it again, I didn’t hear clearly. Say it once more, one more time…” Xu Chaomu clung to Shen Chi’s arm, beaming brightly.

“Nothing much. If I didn’t say that, these people would ask me how old I am, how much money is in my bank account, and where I work. It’s just annoying,” he replied.

“Shen Chi, you’re using me!” Xu Chaomu angrily shook off his arm.

God, why is this man like this!

“You took it seriously?” Shen Chi raised his eyebrows.

“Of course not, only a fool would take it seriously! You’re like my brother, my dear brother, right?” Xu Chaomu’s tone was sour, and she was a little upset.

“Good that you didn’t take it seriously,” Shen Chi said lightly.

Xu Chaomu ignored Shen Chi for the entire afternoon. How could this man be so bad! Utterly bad!

But even so, Xu Chaomu still spent the whole day with Shen Chi. Because whenever she saw something she liked, all she had to do was to take it, and someone would naturally pay for her.

As dusk approached, Xu Chaomu finally asked Shen Chi grudgingly, “You’ve played with me all day, don’t you have to work?”

“I just came out to get some air; I wasn’t playing with you.” “…” Xu Chaomu thought it better to keep her mouth shut.

On the drive home, Shen Chi received a phone call from Bai Man.

“I want to see you, can we meet somewhere tonight?” Bai Man’s voice was soft and gentle.

“Okay,” Shen Chi responded calmly.

“Then let’s meet at our usual place. I’ll be waiting for you,” Bai Man said with a slight smile..
