Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Sleep with Me, Fifty Thousand

Translator: 549690339

Xu Chaomu shook her head slightly, with her hands clasped behind her back, wearing an expression as if she had encountered a pervert.

In the night, this look of hers was actually quite cute, as goofy and adorable as ever.

Shen Chi’s heart stirred, and the coldness between his eyebrows faded a bit. “Don’t make me say it a second time!”

Xu Chaomu stepped backward, like a mouse who had seen a cat, and after a few steps, she turned and ran.

Run, run, run…

In fact, thinking about what she had said to him before, she was still a bit scared.

She had actually told him to get lost…

Now, even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare do it again. She didn’t know where she had gotten the nerve at that moment…

With a “bang,” Shen Chi kicked open the car door, strode over, grabbed her by the collar, and dragged her into the car.

“You’re not even listening to what I say, Xu Chaomu, are you planning a rebellion?” His tone was domineering but carried a hint of helplessness.

“Then give me a reason to obey. Are you uncomfortable not bothering me?” Xu Chaomu challenged him.

“Yes.”

Xu Chaomu listened to his words, which were somewhat rascally.

“…” Xu Chaomu was left speechless.

He pulled her over to the passenger seat, then closed the car door and windows; the lights went out too.

Xu Chaomu pounded on the window, the impacts causing a “bang bang” sound:

“I want to go see Weiwei, I’m not comfortable leaving her there alone.”

“With Li Beiting there, what do you think you’re doing, playing the third wheel!” Shen Chi’s face was stern.

“But I haven’t gotten my wages for today!”

“How much?”

“Serving tea and water, five hundred; keeping company while drinking, one thousand; staying overnight, five thousand. You tell me how much.” Xu Chaomu pouted her lips.

The anger in Shen Chi’s eyes that had just subsided flared up again. His large hand clasped the back of Xu Chaomu’s neck, pulling her close to him. “Staying overnight with me, fifty thousand!” He said with a cold voice, his annoyance palpable.

The force on his hand increased a bit more, pulling at Xu Chaomu’s neck painfully.

She grimaced, the pain making her twitch.

But she refused to submit, her small claws scratching at his collar, starting to undo the buttons on his shirt.

“If fifty thousand seems too little, for someone like Young Master Shen, it should at least be one hundred thousand. But since it’s our first collaboration, fifty thousand it is!”

Given Shen Chi’s appearance, she didn’t feel at a loss. This man was so good-looking that no matter what, she felt she had gained.

“You certainly don’t stand on ceremony!” Shen Chi’s eyes darkened, all around him a dangerous message emanated.

He caught her flailing hands and pinned her to the seat.

Xu Chaomu knew that the more she scratched him, the less he would let her go. But she just couldn’t swallow her pride!

“Young Master Shen, that ring looks really nice. Don’t forget, you’re about to be engaged. The eighth day of the next month, I didn’t get the date wrong, did I?” Xu Chaomu said nonchalantly.

When he touched her, her gaze landed precisely on his ring.

A simple ring, that looked remarkably good on his hand.

“What kind of gift do you plan to give me?” Shen Chi asked in return, his violent tone surprisingly muted.

He let go of her and settled back into the driver’s seat.

Once seated, he didn’t drive but just sat quietly next to her.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want a gift?” She remembered he had said “no” before.

But she had still prepared several bottles of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil for him, confident they would work wonders.

She lowered her head without looking at him, just quietly fidgeting with the buttons on her clothes. The clean clothes she had just changed into, Ji Shengxuan’s jacket, were left behind in the club.

As usual, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

“It was just polite talk. When someone offers a gift, who would really refuse it,” Shen Chi scoffed.

“Oh, I’ll prepare a gift for you, guaranteed to satisfy you, wishing you happiness,” Xu Chaomu said with a downcast head, her voice very soft. She would prepare a gift for him, she wouldn’t go back on her word.

Once he got engaged, it would be time for her to leave…

At the Shen Family, even if Shen Cexian, Liu Rumei, and Shen Yanrou all treated her with cold disdain, and even if Zhou Ran and Li Beiting both persuaded her not to cling to Shen Chi, but in truth, as long as Shen Chi didn’t drive her away, she wouldn’t leave.

Her skin might be thickened, but after all, he was her only support.

This support, was enough for her to weather all the disdainful looks.

Who would want to be so shamelessly persistent unless it was out of deep love?

But her love was too cheap, not worth mentioning. Her love for him was even considered a disgrace by him.

“Hypocritical affection.” Shen Chi glanced at her.

Xu Chaomu rested her forehead, looking aggrieved. She wasn’t being hypocritical.

Even if he didn’t love her, she still hoped he would be well and happy forever.

She meant what she said.

She wanted to argue back, but arguing would likely lead to another quarrel. Lately, Shen Chi had been like he took the wrong medicine, completely unmerciful towards her.

And his words were indeed harsh.

It seemed he was fed up with her.

As she fell silent, the car became quiet, and deep in the night, there was no sound to be heard at all.

Several minutes of silence passed, with neither speaking.

Shen Chi turned his head, his gaze fixed on her face.

She lowered her head, supporting it with one hand and fiddling with a button with the other. Repeating the action, never tiring, serene on her face.

This Xu Chaomu didn’t resemble the wild girl who had pointed at him earlier that night, telling him to get lost.

But, what Shen Chi dreaded most was seeing Xu Chaomu like this. Her silence would inexplicably irritate him.

After watching her for a few minutes, she remained silent as if she were mute. He had no idea what was going on in that little head of hers!

Shen Chi, with a belly full of fire, forcefully stepped on the accelerator, driving the car out of the Weiyang estate.

“Buckle up your seatbelt!” he said solemnly.

Xu Chaomu reached for the seatbelt and buckled it.

After doing so, she lowered her head again to play with her buttons.

The clothes Ji Shengxuan had someone find for her were pretty nice; the buttons were delicate, each one embroidered with different flowers.

She counted the petals on the flowers, one, two, one, two… repeatedly, never finding it boring.

But it was a bit dark, and after counting for a while, her eyes began to hurt.

She didn’t know where Shen Chi was taking her, to school or back to the Shen Family’s home?

As the journey continued, she stopped playing with the buttons, propping her head with one hand and leaning on the window.

After all the night’s exertions, she was quite tired.

She was one of those who tend to fall asleep as soon as they get into a car.

Shortly, she began to doze off, nodding off like a pecking chicken.

When Shen Chi turned to look at her, she had already fallen asleep. He slowed down the car, driving very smoothly.

Her face was like a porcelain doll’s, fair and rosy. With her stubborn claws and sharpness retracted, the sleeping Xu Chaomu always seemed so innocently harmless.

Yet, inappropriately, the words Xu Chaomu had said jumped back into his mind.

“Right, if I could marry him, I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. That’s why

I like him. No, that’s why I cling to him, that’s why I stick to him.. As long as I can marry him, what do I care about face!”
