Chapter 517: Things That Cannot be Seen by Others
She sat beside Shen Chi, looking up at him for a mont.
His divine gaze rested upon the horizon, while Xu Chaomu stared at him intently.
Xiao Mo considerately pulled down the partition. Now, one couldn’t see the scene in the back seat, which was perfect.
Shen Chi felt Xu Chaomu’s gaze on him and he lowered his head, turning to look at her.
As he lowered his head, she bashfully turned her own away.
He smiled, bent down, and leaned in close, extending his long, clean fingers to lift her chin and et her shining dark eyes.
“What are you thinking about?” Shen Chi asked.
“I’m wondering who has a grudge against , kidnapping in the middle of the night,” Xu Chaomu muttered disdainfully.
“Who have you recently offended?” Shen Chi asked with a smile.
He knew it was undoubtedly Shen Shihan, but he still didn’t want to tell Xu Chaomu.
“Offended a very coquettish little woman, exactly the type you n love,” Xu Chaomu said, rolling her eyes as she thought of Qi Na.
“What do you an ‘you n’… I like you, but you haven’t acted coy for to see.”
Act coy? Sure, she could do that.
Imitating his gesture, she extended her delicate hand, resting it lightly on his shoulder, and cast him a flirtatious, peach blossom gaze: “My lord, are you coming to play today?”
“I’m coming.” Shen Chi was dead serious and formal.
“…” Xu Chaomu’s mouth twitched.
“I’m just being coy for you, how many points would I get?” Xu Chaomu huffed.
“Nine points.”
“Why not ten points?”
“I don’t want you to get cocky.”
Xu Chaomu burst into laughter, laughing so hard she doubled over. Shen Chi speaking so earnestly was particularly funny.
Shen Chi looked at her with a disdainful expression, silently watching her laugh.
“You still haven’t told , who did you offend?” After she had her laugh, Shen Chi asked.
“You don’t know him,” Xu Chaomu didn’t feel like discussing it further.
Because Qi Na had so connections with Nie Chenglang, she feared involving him again.
“Not telling?”
“Even if I did, you wouldn’t know them,” she retorted.
Shen Chi watched her with cold eyes, giving off an aura that suggested he could devour her at any mont. Without saying a word, he just kept staring at her.
Left with no choice, Xu Chaomu pursed her lips: “Qi Na.”
Shen Chi frowned slightly at the ntion of Qi Na. So it was her…
He knew Xu Chaomu’s personality all too well; she wouldn’t go around offending people intentionally. And if it was Qi Na, it must have been she who provoked Xu Chaomu first…
“Stay away from her from now on,” Shen Chi said with a furrowed brow.
“You know her?”
“I don’t.”
“Right,” Xu Chaomu said with scorn, “so how do you know she’s not a good person?”
“The na doesn’t sound very nice.”
“…” Xu Chaomu was drenched in sweat.
He wrapped his arm around Xu Chaomu’s waist and pulled her into his embrace. This woman, Qi Na, had incurred Xu Chaomu’s wrath before he’d had a chance to deal with her, and now she dared to provoke Xu Chaomu again.
As he drew closer to her, she slled the blood again and quickly looked up.
“Does your hand still hurt?”
Although he had just said sothing that upset her, she couldn’t help but be concerned about him. She felt she deserved a smack for it.
“A kiss and it will be better,” Shen Chi replied seriously.
His face was all about seriousness and sincerity, but his words… were anything but.
Xu Chaomu pushed him away, not wanting to talk to this man any longer. Had he beco this way during the five years she was absent?
When she had a toothache in the past, she would rub against his chest, his arms: “Fourth Brother, give a kiss, it will make it better.”
Back then, he always said, “Get lost!”
Seeing Xu Chaomu distance herself from him like avoiding a high-voltage wire, Shen Chi reached out and pulled her back into his arms.
His large hand gently stroked her hair: “Promise , from now on, don’t run around recklessly, especially not alone.”
“I didn’t run around.”
Just last night, she had been out buying dicine for Nie Chenglang, and moreover, she had already entered Nie Chenglang’s residential area. She never expected to encounter danger there.
“No excuses,” Shen Chi said, not giving her a chance to speak.
“How is that making excuses? I really wasn’t running around. I just went out to buy so things,” Xu Chaomu argued.
Speaking of buying things reminded Shen Chi of her handbag.
Just now, Xu Chaomu had refused to let him look, but now he grabbed it.
“Hey, don’t snatch my things, Shen Chi, give it back!”
“What is it?” Shen Chi frowned.
Just as he was about to open it, Xu Chaomu snatched it back.
“Let go!” she glared at him.
“What if I don’t?”
“I don’t want you to see it,” Xu Chaomu said straightforwardly.
“Is there sothing shaful? Huh?” Shen Chi looked at her, a chill flashing in his eyes.
“Whether or not there’s sothing shaful, when I don’t want you to touch my things, you shouldn’t force !” Xu Chaomu declared emphatically.
“Getting brave?”
Shen Chi grabbed her hand, yanked her hand away from the handbag.
“Shen Chi! You’re always like this! If you dare to open my bag today, I won’t go back to Waterside Pavillion with you!”
Xu Chaomu was particularly furious this ti. She didn’t mind when he spoke unpleasantly, but his domineering attitude and lack of respect for her wishes really angered her!
“I’m concerned about you,” Shen Chi said as he touched the top of her head.
After that, he opened the bag anyway.
Inside were several boxes of dicine.
Suddenly on high alert, he wondered why she was buying dicine.
He casually flipped through the contents, finding common dications: fever reducers, cold redies, anti-inflammatory drugs, and the like.
His brows knitted together as he looked at her, “Feeling unwell?”
“Stop the car,” Xu Chaomu ordered coldly, devoid of any humor.
He showed no respect for her, insisting on prying even after she asked him not to, supposedly out of “concern for her.”
“Stop it.”
“Shen Chi, don’t always be like this!”
“Tell , where do you feel uncomfortable?”
He touched her forehead with his hand, checking for a fever.
He hadn’t noticed anything unusual about her during all the ti they’d spent together.
So… whom was the dicine for?
“I told you to stop the car!” Xu Chaomu roared at him.
Flas seed to burst forth from her eyes as she shouted.
Her voice was so loud that even Xiao Mo, driving in front, heard her. But he didn’t dare to respond and kept driving steadily.
It looked like Boss Shen and Xu Chaomu were arguing again.
“Stop it!” Shen Chi roared back, “Who did you buy this dicine for?!”
He threw the bag of dicine onto the floorboard, his face stern.
“It’s none of your business, Shen Chi, you’re overbearing and it’s incredibly annoying!”
“Tell , who’s it for?” dark shadows lood in Shen Chi’s eyes.
“Xiao Mo, stop the car! Let out!”
Xu Chaomu especially despised Shen Chi like this, irrational and illogical. She had already told him not to look, but he insisted on it!
With a stony face, Shen Chi grabbed her and pulled her back to her seat!
