Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Why Would I Cry
UDATD by XNVEL.MTranslator: 549690339
Fourth Master Shen, I dont have a home. Why not just send me back to the orphanage? I actually quite liked it there. Its been eight years since I last saw the director, and I dont even know if hes managed to get together with his little lover.
Are you sure anyone wants to see you?
Xu Chaomus mouth twitched.
Why are you like this? Xiaopang and the others really like me. They love climbing trees with me the most, fishing with me the most, the most
As she spoke, Xu Chaomu lowered her head and suddenly couldnt help but sob, tears falling like pearls off a broken stringplip, plop, onto the ground.
Why are you crying now? Shen Chi was helpless.
He was out of options when it came to her.
But no matter what, he longed to see her making a fuss, scampering about like a little mouse, stirring trouble like a kitten on the roof, it was all fine.
As long as she wasnt calm and quiet, it was all good.
Shen Chi took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears; she dodged his hand, grabbed his shirt, and rubbed her face against it fiercely.
After rubbing it a few times, she seemed to have worked off her anger.
Where am I crying? How could I be crying? Youre not that old, but youre really losing your eyesight.
Shen Chi looked at her face, stubborn as a mule.
Whether Xu Chaomu agreed or not, Shen Chi took her away from Tianju Mountain. The night was dark and quiet, and all was silent beneath the mountain.
Xu Chaomu did not resist any longer. Besides following him, she had no other option. But she couldnt just suffer for nothing.
Fourth Brother, I want to talk to you about something, Xu Chaomu glanced at him.
She liked to watch this man drive. When he drove, he was so focused, concentrated, and alert. His expression was stern, his demeanor cold and firm, and even his smoothly defined jawline was tensed tight.
Go ahead.
Theres a parent-teacher conference on Tuesday, are you free?
Ranked where from the bottom?
Shen Chis voice was indifferent, his gaze fixed ahead.
Im not last, with my brilliant intelligence, Ill never fall to that rank, right? As for the top ten, Im not that interested. I think the eighth from the bottom is a lucky number, so you know.
Xu Chaomu giggled, then sat up straight.
She had forgotten again. Shen Chi had scolded and hit her yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, she was without dignity once more.
Shen Chis expression was cold, he didnt speak, leaning on the drivers seat, his long fingers tapping rhythmically on the steering wheel.
The car fell silent, making Xu Chaomu uncomfortable.
Cant you just say if youre available?!
Are you free? If youre not, never mind, Ill just tell the teacher my brother went on a blind date and cant make it back for a while, Xu Chaomu raised her voice.
I wont go, its embarrassing, Shen Chi spoke plainly.
Xu Chaomu immediately clenched her small fists: If you wont go, then dont. What does it have to do with you? Even if Im not good at studying, I can still fight.
Hmm, and you can also lure young boys, Shen Chi remarked dryly.
If it wasnt for the fact that he was driving, Xu Chaomu would have thrown a punch at him by now. What did he mean by luring young boys? Who talks like that?
Xu Chaomu turned her head away, puffed up with anger: Dont talk to me. She leaned against the car window with one hand, resting her head on it.
After watching the scenery outside for a while, she found nothing interesting. It was all dark and oppressive. However, with Shen Chi by her side, she wasnt afraid.
This sense of security only came when he was near her, even after they had just argued.
Probably exhausted from the climb, Xu Chaomu fell asleep shortly after.
Shen Chi turned to look at her, already deeply asleep. The cat bracelet Shen Shihan had given her was on her wristhow childish it looked, no matter how you looked at it.
And the T-shirt she wore today, with its silly-looking rabbit, it was just like Xu Chaomu.
He remembered the stories about the little white rabbit she told that night, his eyebrows lifting slightly.
Didnt she know that little white rabbits are too foolish and end up being eaten by the big bad wolf?
Xu Chaomu became very quiet when she slept.
Her cute rosy cheeks, the rise and fall of her chest, her pouting lips.
Shen Chi couldnt resist stroking her head.
She was so well-behaved this way.
Halfway through the drive, Shen Chi lowered his voice and made a call to Secretary Xiao Mo.
Xiao MO, cancel the meeting in Washington the day after tomorrow.
Mr. Shen, do you have an urgent arrangement? The Washington meeting is about the financial support for this project, and you must go personally.
Find another partner.
Mr. Shen, thats not appropriate. The investment company in Washington was selected unanimously by all our senior executives. Finding another one at this point might not be feasible.
In my world, theres only possible or impossible, theres no such thing as whether its appropriate or not, Shen Chis tone was sharp and brooked no argument. Ah right, Ill handle it.
Good.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Chi glanced at Xu Chaomu. Ranked eighth from the bottom, she really did embarrass him.
Not long after Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu left Tianju Mountain, Shen Shihan also drove away from the mountain.
His Ferrari raced under the night sky, like an arrow off its bowstring, heading toward C Citys downtown.
The night was vast and all around, and an extraordinary silence prevailed. As he left the desolate area behind, his horizon gradually expanded. The center of C City was bustling. He then called a friend.
Pei Tian, where are you? I need to talk to you.
Weiyang. Room 1509. The man on the other end sounded like he was drinking.
Alright, wait for me. Shen Shihan heard the noisy background and frowned slightly.
Soon, he drove to Weiyang. It was one of the largest entertainment clubs in C City, frequented by the wealthy and the elite. Shen Shihan knew that Shen Chi often came here too.
As the door of Room 1509 was pushed open, Shen Shihan heard the sound of a beer bottle crashing to the floor!
With a clatter, in an instant, all other noises stopped!
The room was filled with smoky haze and the smell of alcohol. Shen Shihan frowned and peered through the smoke.
After a few seconds of silence, the place exploded with noise again.
Dammit, Ive never seen someone so clumsy. Cant you even open a damn beer bottle?
A half-naked man exuding malice kicked a woman on the floor!
The woman on the floor bowed her head; the kick was heavy, and she immediately clutched her chest, her complexion pale and lips turning purplish.
Holding back her pain, she began to pick up the shattered beer bottle pieces, apologizing, Im sorry, it was my fault. Sorry
Over and over, she said, Sorry, more than any other word.
But these men werent about to let it go easily. The man who had kicked her grew even angrier as he saw the woman kneeling on the floor and reached out for her hair!
Just as his hand was about to touch the womans dark hair, Shen Shihan strode forward, blocking him.
Dai, do me a favor and let her go, he said.
Shen Shihans voice was deep and powerful, carrying an intimidating force.
The hazy light from the smoke-filled room cast upon Shen Shihans face, revealing an indescribable chill. Though dressed casually in sportswear, he
oozed elegance and poise..
