After he finished wiping, he hung the towel back in the bathroom.

Xu Chaomu glared at him, very angry.

He slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, “Don’t look at me like that, those who don’t know might think I did something to you.”

Xu Chaomu, prompted by his words, looked down and continued to kick the pencil on the floor, resolute in not speaking to him. In fact, she was too lazy to talk to him anymore, the bastard.

“Did you remember everything I told you?” Shen Chi asked indifferently.

Xu Chaomu refused to utter a word or look at him.

“Are you angry?” Shen Chi lifted her chin, deliberately gazing into her eyes. “I wouldn’t dare,” Xu Chaomu retorted in his own cold manner, spitting out two words.

“I need to step out for a bit; eat more at dinner. I will tell Butler Ling to help you clean up your room. Be good.”

After saying this, Shen Chi began to untie the tie on her wrist. He hadn’t done much to her, except left some marks from the bind on her wrist.

Free at last, Xu Chaomu turned back into a little wild cat with claws. She felt a fire inside her and pushed Shen Chi out: “Get out, get out, I don’t want to see you! I never want to see you again!”

Shen Chi did not budge; he looked helpless, grasping her small hand with a slight roguishness, “But I want to see you.”

Unable to outstubborn him, Xu Chaomu lowered her head, and, aiming for his arm, bit down hard.

She showed no mercy, venting her anger for being tied up and tricked by him in the afternoon.

“Xu Chaomu, have you turned into a dog now?” Shen Chi winced in pain.

Just like that time in the hospital when she bit his arm.

Xu Chaomu remained silent, just kept biting down. She was determined to bite until Shen Chi let her go!

Shen Chi was unable to bear it and finally let go. He wasn’t angry, though; he just stared into Xu Chaomu’s eyes for a long time. He knew she was unhappy inside.

“Eat more at night, go to bed early, and do your homework well. Be obedient,” he said in a subdued tone, casually reminding her.

Having said that, he left, not looking back, but a bright red bite mark remained on his arm.

Xu Chaomu watched his dashing departure, biting her lip, feeling an indescribable discomfort.

As Shen Chi went downstairs, he took with him the Sapphire necklace jewelry box from the table.

Butler Ling was right in the garden tending to the flowers. The garden in spring was beautiful, with various flowers ready to bloom. Soon, it would be a sight full of blossoms.

“Fourth Young Master,” Butler Ling called out respectfully upon seeing Shen Chi.

“Mhm,” Shen Chi walked over, “Who from the Shen family went into Chaomu’s room to rummage through her things today?”

“Miss Bai gave the order; her agent and a few servants went in,” Butler Ling responded truthfully.

“These servants, drive them all out of C City; I want to see who dares to hire them!”

“Yes, I will carry out your orders,” Butler Ling knew Shen Chi was angry.

“From now on, without my permission, no one is allowed to enter Chaomu’s room.”

“Yes, understood.”

“She likes to eat shrimp and egg dumpling soup, make her some tonight.

Remember to add greens, don’t put ginger; she doesn’t like the taste of ginger.”

Butler Ling naturally knew who Shen Chi was referring to as “she.” In the Shen family, only Xu Chaomu liked shrimp and egg dumpling soup.

“Alright, I will prepare it to Miss Xu’s taste.”

“Mhm, let her eat peacefully, don’t allow anyone else to disturb her.”

“I’ve noted it all down. Fourth Young Master, won’t you be coming back tonight?”

“Later,” Shen Chi said and then walked towards the garage.

“Fourth Young Master, take care,” Butler Ling said respectfully again.

Shen Chi drove himself to Vogue Bar. Bai Man liked it here, so their dates were usually at this place. Its privacy was also very good, of course, except for that time Bai Man gave him a tie and they were partially captured by the paparazzi.

By the time he arrived at Vogue Bar, Bai Man was already there waiting for him.

Under the dim lights, Bai Man held a glass of red wine, the ruby-like liquor complementing her snowy skin, looking absolutely stunning.

She had chosen a spot as quiet as ever, still placing a Miniature Orchid on the table. Its fragrance was rich and refreshing.

“Shen Chi, you’re here,” Bai Man said with a smile as she stood up, placing her wine glass down.

“Mhm,” Shen Chi was his usual self, neither cold nor enthusiastic, with no significant fluctuations in mood.

She took his coat for him, poured him some red wine, and enthusiastically handed him the menu, “Order a few of your favorites.”

Shen Chi flipped through the menu, casually picked a few items, then asked,

“Did the filming go smoothly today?”

“Smoothly, no major issues. If all goes well, this show will soon wrap up, and then we plan to have a press conference.”

“Mhm.”

“If I invite you to come then… will you?” Bai Man asked cautiously.

“My presence there wouldn’t be appropriate.”

“I just thought that announcing our relationship would be better than letting others speculate now.”

“I’ll handle it,” Shen Chi said, disliking the feeling of being led by others, a slight displeasure on his face.

Bai Man dared not say more, just smiled, “I’m very happy you could come have dinner with me tonight.”

“Next time, I’ll treat you, and let’s invite Old Master Bai as well,” Shen Chi said as he looked over the menu again.

Upon hearing this, Bai Man’s heart surged with excitement. Was he planning to discuss marriage with her father?

She nodded happily, “Good. Next time we can have a meal together as a family; the Shen and Bai families have always been close allies!”

“Mhm,” Shen Chi replied noncommittally.

He took out the Sapphire necklace box from his pocket, his slender fingers flipping the box open, and removed the necklace from the box.

“Why did you bring it here?” Bai Man was still surprised.

Today, because of this necklace, there was a big uproar in the Shen family.

After a fit of anger, she had left the box at the Shen family’s house, not expecting him to bring it.

“It’s a gift from me; don’t you want it?” he asked, his finger hooking the

necklace.

The Sapphire was incredibly beautiful, sparkling under the light with a clear luster, the blue light ethereal like a phantom, exquisitely breathtaking.

“Of course, I want it. Everything you give me, I keep; I really like them. I even bought a specially made mahogany box to store the many things you’ve given

me.”

Shen Chi curved the corner of his lips. Indeed, in C City, no one dared to reject things he gave, let alone throw them away.

Yet, someone dared.

His thoughts drifted back to the puppet on the table in the room.

“If you like it, take good care of it,” Shen Chi said coldly, intentionally stressing the last two words.

The smile faded from Bai Man’s face, replaced by a pitiable expression. She nodded like a little girl, “Shen Chi… I understand, don’t be angry anymore. Today was my fault, I didn’t keep the necklace safe, causing you to worry.”

“Don’t do things that displease me again,” Shen Chi stated lightly, yet his tone carried an irrefutable authority.

Bai Man nodded repeatedly, biting her lip, a picture of demure femininity, “I

understand.”

“I’ll put it on for you,” Shen Chi offered, holding the necklace in his hand, looking at her.

Bai Man was suddenly overwhelmed with favor and joy, her heart beating uncontrollably..
