Chapter 45: Chapter 045: I Can’t Bear to See You Cry

Xu Chaomu glared at him, curious to hear what he would say.

Little did she know, Shen Chi only rolled up the newspaper in his hand and gave her a faint glance, “Don’t climb through windows anymore, acting like some stray cat!”

“I’m not a stray cat, I’m your pet cat! Shen Chi, tell me, do you always think it’s fun to bully me, as if teasing a cat?”

Xu Chaomu was very angry, and she finally spoke her mind.

“What an achievement, daring to call me by my name,” Shen Chi’s large hand touched her cheek.

In the Shen Family, and even in C City, no one dared to call out his name so casually. Just as Bai Man had said, he had spoiled her too much.

But what of it? He was willing.

A smile didn’t grace Shen Chi’s face, and as his warm palm caressed her cheek, her heartbeat started to quicken…

Her little heart almost leapt to her throat. Was he angry?

“Chaomu, trying to gild your face again, are you as cute as a cat?” He stroked her face, a faint smile slowly spreading across his lips.

Xu Chaomu thought she was in for a storm, but it turned out to be nothing but a hollow bark!

She was even less than a cat!

Xu Chaomu slapped his large hand away, huffily saying, “Shen Chi, I really want to strangle you!”

“But your little claws are indeed a match for a cat’s, sharp and scratching,” Shen Chi grabbed her hand.

Yes, he had grabbed her hand, her small hand tightly encased in his palm!

Her heartbeat quickened again!

Xu Chaomu felt so pathetic. Not long ago, she was crying at the door of his room, and now with a little seduction from him, she was ready to surrender.

She was about to solidify her reputation as a “pervert.”

No, she couldn’t let herself be seduced by him.

Xu Chaomu pulled her small hand out of his palm, snatched the newspaper from his hand, and pointed at the tie on the table with the authority of a leader asking questions.

“What is this?”

Shen Chi frowned, gazing at her seriously without shifting his eyes for a long time.

“What… what are you looking at me for?” Xu Chaomu became guilty—no, that’s not right, she wasn’t the one who had done something bad! Why should she feel guilty?

“Chaomu, do I need to send you to kindergarten to study some more, to learn picture recognition and reading?” Shen Chi looked worried.

“You… you… you…” Xu Chaomu was not lightly angered, “I’m talking seriously here!”

“I’m also talking seriously,” Shen Chi sat up straight, all business.

“Just say it, Bai Man clearly gave you a tie last night, why did you have to snatch mine?” Xu Chaomu stared at his neck; not only did he snatch it, but he was wearing it!

“What do you mean ‘snatch’? I bought it with my own money, if not for me then who should it be for?”

The person’s tone was as domineering as ever—now even more arrogant and cool. So much so that Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but start questioning her world view, life view, and values!

“You’re shameless with your sophistry! Give it back to me!”

Xu Chaomu lunged forward, grabbed his tie, and started to undo it.

Shen Chi wouldn’t let her, so she threw herself onto him, her calf pressing down on his left leg, struggling to continue undoing it.

She was very serious about it, but unfortunately, she had never untied such a thing before; looking from left to right, she couldn’t get it off.

As she fumbled over him, Shen Chi felt a rush of heat, his blood boiling—this was already the second time today!

All the blood in his body rushed to his head, and his eyes also became tinged with desire. Besides, he had drunk a bit of alcohol that evening, feeling a burning heat throughout his body, and he was somewhat losing control of himself.

He clenched his fists tightly and yanked her small hand fiercely, “Xu Chaomu, don’t play with fire!”

“Then give me back my tie! The one Bai Man gave you looked pretty good to me. Mine can’t compare to hers. You might as well give it back to me, Mr. Shen, the big boss, you’re not lacking a tie!”

Shen Chi squinted his eyes, an aura of danger permeating the area.

He gripped her hand tightly, asking faintly, “Do you know what it means to give a man a tie?”

Is there a meaning behind giving a tie?

Xu Chaomu was academically poor, how would she know.

“Listen, giving a man a tie means—I want to possess you.” Shen Chi looked into her eyes, serious, domineering, and unquestionable.

Their eyes met, and Xu Chaomu glared back puffily, “Isn’t it more like I want to strangle you?”

‘ Shen Chi’s face was filled with black lines, feeling that they were worlds apart.

He took the newspaper from her hand, glanced at her again, and said, “Go to sleep early, stop crying.”

“Who’s crying, which eye of yours saw me cry?” Xu Chaomu was stubbornly defiant.

“I can’t bear to see you cry.” Shen Chi said nonchalantly, dropping a sentence and turning to leave Xu Chaomu’s room.

Xu Chaomu’s heart fluttered, what did he say?

Had he really spoken just now, or did she hear wrong?

She pinched her own arm, it hurt! She wasn’t dreaming, he had just said… I can’t bear to see you cry.

Xu Chaomu stared with wide eyes towards the door, the air still seemingly carrying Shen Chi’s scent.

Just now, it was him, it was him. He had said… I can’t bear to see you cry.

Xu Chaomu’s lips curved into a deeper and deeper smile, like water in a boundless deep pool, drowning in it.

She sighed with a headache, alas, she truly was hopeless.

After Shen Chi returned to his room, his phone rang. He looked down, it was Bai Man calling.

“Shen Chi, what happened at home? Is it serious?” Bai Man asked anxiously. “It’s alright, already taken care of,” Shen Chi answered indifferently. “It’s not that little girl’s issue again, is it?” Bai Man asked casually.

“No!” Shen Chi said cuttingly.

“Oh, if there’s anything you need my help with, just say it. By the way, I haven’t been home for several months, when you’re free, can you accompany me to see my dad? He’s been missing you too.”

“Alright.’

Seeing that Shen Chi wasn’t too enthusiastic, Bai Man didn’t press further. She wanted to bring him home simply to show that the Shen Family and Bai Family had always got along well and to ensure that nothing would disrupt the peace between the two families.

Shen Chi hung up first and went alone to take a shower.

His mind kept replaying the scene of Xu Chaomu climbing up the window, heart-stopping!

If she hadn’t been steady, if she had suddenly fallen from the window, what would he do…

She never made things easy for him!

These images hovered in his mind, he had underestimated this girl’s audacity. Xu Chaomu was always fearless.

And then there were her actions today—in the mall, she tiptoed to wrap her arms around his neck to “sweet-talk” him, and just now, on the bed, she had pulled his tie and pinned him down.

Thinking of these, Shen Chi’s mind was in turmoil, and the fire in his body, instead of being suppressed, blazed even hotter!

He had no choice but to take another cold shower.

As for Xu Chaomu, ever since Shen Chi left, she had been rolling around in bed nonstop, extremely excited.

Her mind continuously savored all his words, he said, giving a man a tie means —I want to possess you; he said, I can’t bear to see you cry.

Although he also said, if you want to die, don’t die in the Shen Family! But…

that could be ignored..
