Qin Zhuzhu was elated and she clasped her hands together.
Shentu Jing could only remain motionless and aloof like it wasn’t his place to talk.
"Don’t be shy. Ask for anything," Shentu Chu was all smiles.
Shentu Jing imdiately understood that he was trying to land him in another pot of hot soup.
"Then I won’t be courteous!" Qin Zhuzhu looked at the two n. "I want your assistant to accompany for shopping tomorrow,"
Shentu Jing narrowed his eyes. This Pearl was definitely up to sothing. If not, why would she go shopping with a re assistant like him? At that thought, Shentu Jing wondered if that’s how she makes friends with n.
"Shopping?!" Shentu Chu looked at Shentu Jing, trying to catch a glimpse of his reaction.
"But I’m afraid that tomorrow we’ll be really busy. Besides, I’m very close with this assistant of mine. This... How about I let one of my maids to accompany you instead?" Shentu Chu pretended to be reluctant to part with his ’assistant’.
"Then reschedule everything and make ti for tomorrow!" Qin Zhuzhu replied with a smile.
Shentu Jing’s face dropped. She was determined to go out with him no matter what.
"If you say so!" To Shentu Jing’s surprise, Shentu Chu agreed imdiately.
Shentu Chu!!! Shentu Jing scolded him in his mind.
Shentu Chu, seemingly as if he could really read Shentu Jing’s mind, stuck his tongue out at Shentu Jing when no one was watching.
"What’s your assistant na?" Qin Zhuzhu suddenly inquired.
"Uh..... He’s called Chou Dan," Shentu Chu grinned.
"Chou Dan?" What kind of na was that? Qin Zhuzhu seed amused. "Such a unique na," Qin Zhuzhu laughed softly.
Chou Dan??? Did his elder brother purposely have him a good laugh? Thinking about it made Shentu Jing want to crack his knuckles and give him a good beating.
"So, it’s decided! You two will go shopping tomorrow!" Shentu Chu seed delighted at his brother’s plight.
Even Qin Zhuzhu seed happy.
While Han Juexian was suffering like his boss because of the stuffy cupboard.
Han Juexian: "Ah- Choo!"
A sneeze sound was heard. Everyone stood still, stiff and tensed that the cat might be let out of the bag.
"What was that? Did soone just sneeze," she gazed at the two n with suspicion.
"That must be the cat. The place must be very dusty," Shentu Chu lied with a charming smile.
Shentu Jing nodded in agreent.
Sothing wasn’t right, Qin Zhuzhu could tell, which was why she wanted this masked man to go shopping with her. There were too many doubts and suspicions in her head. To clear them, it all started from him.
When Qin Zhuzhu finally left after having dinner with them, Han Juexian finally dropped out of his hiding spot.
"Torture! Might as well kill !" He grumbled.
Ding Yu crawled out from under bed with a lollipop in his mouth.
"I told you to hide with under the bed but you said that it was too small. Hmph!"
Shentu Chu got ho not long later. He glanced casually at the smaller pair of shoes on the rack outside. It has been a long ti since his house got a guest. There was strange warm feeling in his chest.
Shentu Chu took out a small bottle from his coat pocket and popped so white pills into his mouth.
"Nian Nian," he called. There was no response.
Feeling a little drained, Shentu Chu made his way to the kitchen for so caffeine. The clicking of glass brought his attention to a girl on the floor, picking up the shards of glass.
Suddenly the girl hissed, clutching her finger. A red line of liquid oozed out from the fresh cut.
Shentu Chu quickly pulled the girl to her feet, holding her hand tightly.
Qiao Nian was frightened by his sudden actions.
"Sir... I’m sorry I broke your plate," Qiao Nian said apologetically. She had been picking up the broken glasses and didn’t hear him coming.
"It’s just a plate,"
"Sir, I know I’m very clumsy. Sorry," she didn’t dare to look into his eyes. Every ti after looked into his eyes, she felt his gaze smoldering her, burning her to pieces.
"Don’t need to apologize. In the future, just call by my na,"
Qiao Nian nodded. "Shentu Chu," she sounded his na off her lips.
Hearing her say his na in such a way made Shentu Chu’s heart go ’pa-dum, pa-dum, pa-dum.’
He pressed out the stale blood, clean her wound and applied done ointnt. Then, Shentu Chu wrapped her finger carefully in a small bandage.
"Don’t let it get water," he said strictly.
"Okay," Qiao Nian took back her hand from his grip, the skin on her face felt hot even though it wasn’t there that got hurt.
"I’ll send you ho," Shentu Chu suddenly offered.
"Wait!" Qiao Nian’s face turned pale.
Imdiately, Shentu Chu sensed sothing was wrong.
"What is it?"
"I don’t want to return. If it’s okay, can I stay here for a few days? I’ll leave after that! Definitely won’t take up much of your ti!* The girl made a pleading gesture.
Because of her cute face, Shentu Chu was forced to agree.
"Fine. Just three days, okay? No more, no less,"
"Yay! Thanks!" Qiao Nian jumped up and down in joy and hugged him tightly.
Shentu Chu froze when she touched him so intimately. Upon realizing what she did, Qiao Nian quickly pulled away from him and chuckle nervously.
This girl must have so problems with her family so that’s why she ran away. He was certain that she was a lady from a rich family.
He had always been alone. But with her here, the atmosphere beca more lively. It seed like it wasn’t a bad idea to have her around. Moreover, there’s this cute face that he can’t get enough...
But on the other hand, he will have to be careful. What if she was actually a spy sent by their enemies? Wouldn’t that be bringing the lion into your den?
