Shen Chi had no choice but to go himself, stretching out his hand to the butler, “Give me the keys.”
“Yes!” The butler went to fetch the spare key for Xu Chaomu’s room.
After taking the keys, Shen Chi headed upstairs. The sight left everyone at the table gaping, especially Bai Man, who was filled with mixed feelings.
She asked Liu Rumei in a low voice, “Is Xu Chaomu always like this?”
Liu Rumei didn’t speak, but Shen Yanrou did, “The orphanage’s prized gem has really gotten spoilt, so delicate and squeamish. I don’t know where she gets the nerve, acting all high and mighty in the Shen Family.”
Shen Chi was just reaching the last step of the staircase when he spoke without turning back, his voice colder than ever.
“I spoil her, so, Second Sister, do you have a problem with that?”
His voice was deep and forceful, yet overbearing. As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone fell silent, and the surroundings instantly quieted down.
A chilling silence descended as if a bucket of cold water had been poured from the sky, leaving Shen Yanrou speechless.
Shen Chi’s tall figure headed to Xu Chaomu’s door; he didn’t bother knocking, directly using the key to open it.
As soon as the door opened, he saw the little wooden doll Xu Chaomu had thrown on the floor. It had been a gift from him when she was ten years old. Seeing it discarded on the ground, his brows knitted, and he bent down to pick it up.
She was sleeping, having fallen asleep right there on the table, really not picky about the place.
“Chaomu,” Shen Chi called out softly.
Xu Chaomu didn’t respond, deep in slumber.
When she slept, she retracted her sharp claws, appearing completely harmless. Shen Chi touched her cheek and bent down to look at her.
“Chaomu, get up and eat.”
Finally, Xu Chaomu showed a slight reaction, groggily opening her eyes to meet Shen Chi’s gaze.
“Shen Chi, what are you sneaking into my room for?” Xu Chaomu dodged him.
“Do I need to sneak around to enter your room?” He always came and went as he pleased.
“You—you—you better not have any ill intentions! I’d rather die than yield!” Xu Chaomu declared with feigned bravery.
Shen Chi glanced dismissively at her neckline, “No normal man would be interested in an airport. Come downstairs and eat!”
Before Xu Chaomu could react, her arm was forcibly seized by him.
Damn it, airport? There’s a limit to insults! Xu Chaomu was about to leap to her feet!
“Shen Chi, you are nothing but a vulgar, low-brow, populist man! A thug, a pervert, a scoundrel! You just like women with big chests! You just are… uh…”
Shen Chi dragged Xu Chaomu downstairs. She had been going on and on, but the moment they reached the table full of people, everyone’s eyes were on her.
Xu Chaomu’s face flushed red instantly, wishing she could just dive into a hole.
Although she was a bit of a hooligan, she usually only acted that way in front of Shen Chi. It was her first time doing so in front of so many people…
It was the end. The end.
Her entire image was ruined, all because of this man!
The butler had regained his composure by now. After all, Xu Chaomu had been berating the young master since early morning, calling him “Shen Chi” so confidently. In the Shen Family, who else dared to call the young master by his name so righteously, unless they no longer wished to live?
Bai Man’s expression was exaggerated. Even when she spoke to Shen Chi, she was always cautious, afraid to inadvertently upset him. And now, Xu Chaomu dared to curse Shen Chi!
In C City, who didn’t know that Shen Group’s CEO Shen Chi had a bad temper? He was scheming and domineering in his ways, resolute and ruthless. Anyone who dared to cross him would end up like her cousin, Zheng Lin!
Liu Rumei scoffed, “No manners.’
“Aren’t you embarrassed?” Shen Chi glanced at her, speaking lightly.
In fact, his eyes betrayed a hint of indulgence, and his tone carried a trace of helplessness.
Xu Chaomu was so mortified she wished she could hide her face. She kept her head down, hiding behind him.
As he moved a step down, so did she, following him obediently like a little cat.
How could she dare to lift her head, with all the scrutinizing looks focused on her!
By the time Shen Chi reached the dining table, Xu Chaomu was still keeping her head down. She had been so embarrassed that she had even forgotten her toothache.
“Sit down, eat!” Shen Chi commanded authoritatively.
He served her a generous portion of her favorite dishes in her bowl, knowing well that she was too ashamed to look up. A little embarrassment would serve as a good lesson for her.
Bai Man was simply stunned. It was unbelievable to her. If anyone else had addressed Shen Chi in such a loud and familiar manner, they would likely have died several times over!
To think that this girl was being so disrespectful to him, and yet, he wasn’t even angry?
Bai Man felt a tinge of envy, but then she remembered something Shen Chi had said to her, “She’s my sister, if I don’t spoil her, who will I spoil?”
With that thought, she felt relieved. Even if Shen Chi was cold and ruthless, he was still loving towards his sister. If she were to pick a fight with his sister, she wouldn’t be Bai Man.
Xu Chaomu kept her head down, eating whatever Shen Chi picked out for her, not fussy at all.
Throughout the process, she never raised her head.
How dared she! The shadow in her heart was as big as a basketball court now!
Shen Chi, on the other hand, rarely saw Xu Chaomu this docile and a faint smile crept onto his face.
Liu Rumei and Shen Yanrou didn’t dare to say anything, and Bai Man was even less likely to speak. Thus, everyone continued to eat their own food. Only Shen Cexian seemed displeased and snorted but said nothing, continuing with his meal.
It was quiet at the beginning, but it wasn’t long before Liu Rumei resumed her conversation with Bai Man.
“Miss Bai, have you picked out your dress for accompanying Achi to A City the day after tomorrow?”
Bai Man smiled, “I just chose a white one, and he likes it too.”
After speaking, Bai Man glanced at Shen Chi, her gaze brimming with tenderness.
“White is good, dignified and elegant. But you always look good, standing next to Achi, you’re simply a perfect match.”
“You flatter me, Miss Liu. If I can look as beautiful as you at your age, I’ll be content,” Bai Man said with a charming smile.
“Miss Bai, you’re too kind. Why don’t we go shopping together when you’re back from A City? I’ve been meaning to buy some things. I know you have a good eye and I’m sure with you, I won’t make any mistakes!”
“Sure, I happen to be free,” Bai Man knew that although Liu Rumei was Shen Chi’s stepmother, if she were to marry into the Shen Family, she would inevitably have to deal with a whole household of people. Winning over the hearts of others was a crucial step.
Xu Chaomu suddenly stopped moving her chopsticks. Shen Chi was going to A City with Bai Man?
It seemed everyone knew, so why didn’t she?

What were they going to do in A City? It couldn’t be to take wedding photos, could it? The scenery in A City was said to be beautiful, but it was a bit far from C City.
Why hadn’t Shen Chi told her?
How could he keep it from her again.
He had said he didn’t consider her an outsider, but wasn’t this obvious? Shen Cexian, Liu Rumei, Shen Yanrou, Bai Man, and Shen Chi all knew about the trip to A City. Probably even the butler knew! But she didn’t.
Xu Chaomu felt a pang in her heart, and her pace of eating slowed down.
