“`

Just when her little claws were about to reach Shen Chi’s clean neck, Shen Chi opened his eyes, grabbed her collar, and threw her into the farthest corner.

“Ow ow ow, let go, I didn’t mean it… kind brother, I just started, let’s talk nicely… It hurts…”

Shen Chi had no intention of letting go; he was determined to teach her a lesson today.

“What did I warn you about?”

“I can’t remember.”

Shen Chi squeezed harder, and Xu Chaomu yelped in pain, “I remember now, I remember now… you said not to hug…” freewebno(v)el

“What else?”

“Not to kiss.”

Shen Chi’s face was full of dark lines, “Xu Chaomu, listen well, stay away from me within three steps!”

Xu Chaomu nodded her tiny head like pounding garlic, “Got it, got it.”

Only then did Shen Chi release her, brushing the dust off his hands.

Xu Chaomu’s inner world was almost collapsing, but afterwards, she became even more determined in her goal to bring down this arrogant man and discipline him with a little whip and candle, until he kneeled and begged for mercy.

See if he could still be arrogant, arrogant!

However, long after, why did it turn out that the person begging on the bed… was her…

At this moment, probably because all the paperwork was done, the woman walked up to the car.

“Madam, have you finished everything?” the driver asked.

“Yes, everything’s done, let’s go home!” The woman sat in the passenger seat, glancing back at Xu Chaomu.

Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu sat on opposite sides, a fair distance between them, like two rivers that never crossed.

“Chaomu, I’m Achi’s mother, my name is Zhou Ran, you can call me Auntie Zhou.”

“Auntie Zhou, you look so young, I almost wanted to call you sister!” Xu Chaomu smiled sweetly.

Shen Chi gritted his teeth, what did this girl mean by taking advantage of him for no reason.

When he looked at her, she was smiling with ill intent, her face carrying a provocative expression: I’m taking advantage of you, so what, hit me then!

Zhou Ran actually laughed charmed by Xu Chaomu’s words, “What a sweet-talker you are, Auntie Zhou is not young anymore, I’ve grown old.”

Driver Lao Jiang started the car, driving it out of the orphanage.

The car sped along the road, causing Xu Chaomu to widen her eyes in amazement.

She had never left that poor, backward place where she grew up; the further away she got, the more it felt like she had reached heaven.

After several twists and turns, the car crossed a bridge and soon arrived at a place that seemed like a paradise.

There, the scenery was beautiful, the air was fresh, the clouds were light and looked like they could bring rain, the water was calm and seemed to emit mist. Rock gardens, fountains, pavilions, and corridors—there was nothing you couldn’t find.

“What’s this place called?” Xu Chaomu asked, staring at the shiny gold signage outside.

“Splendor of the World!” Shen Chi answered indifferently.

“Oh!” Xu Chaomu just kept her eyes wide open, looking around.

It was only later that she learned, Splendor of the World was the most upscale private townhouse complex in C City. Those living there were either rich or noble, and she was worth even less than a single cup or a painting from the Shen Family’s collection.

After stopping the car, a servant immediately came to open the door with solemn formality.

Around them there was not a single noise; Shen Chi and his mother naturally got out of the car.

But it was different for Xu Chaomu; it was her first time in such a place, and she was so scared she trembled, looking at the standing servants, afraid to step out of the car.

The more careful one is, the more careless they can become, and just as she stepped one foot out of the car, her other foot hooked right onto the car door, sending her lurching forward!

The servants stood by as if they wanted to watch the spectacle unfold, making no move to help.

Shen Chi was quick on his feet, as he grabbed her in time.

“Can’t even walk properly, what have you been eating to survive till ten?” He looked at her with disdain.

Xu Chaomu took the opportunity to rub against Shen Chi; had it not been for him, she would have fallen and likely disfigured her face.

Her action seemed to imply an unusual relationship between her and Shen Chi, prompting the servant to quickly lower his head and say, “I’m sorry, young master, it’s my negligence, I didn’t react in time.”

“Hmm.” Shen Chi didn’t say much, just snorted coldly, not pushing Xu Chaomu away right away.

Xu Chaomu seized the chance to get fresh, wrapping an arm around Shen Chi’s waist.

His scent was truly pleasant, like the refreshing aroma of green tea, rich and lasting.

“If you’ve hugged enough, get lost.” Shen Chi lowered his voice, warning Xu Chaomu.

Only then did she reluctantly let go of him, “Brother, was that considered a heroic rescue just now? I’m so touched…”

Having said that, Xu Chaomu squeezed out a couple of crocodile tears.

Shen Chi let out a cold laugh, “Heroic rescue? Hardly. At most, it was a hero saving a bear.”

“Chaomu, come with me, I’ll show you around the house, then take you to your room,” Zhou Ran extended her hand to Xu Chaomu.

“I’m coming, Auntie Zhou!” Xu Chaomu glared at Shen Chi and walked towards Mother Shen.

Zhou Ran held Xu Chaomu’s hand, and they walked side by side through the Shen family’s villa.

At first, Xu Chaomu thought the villa housed many people, but then she realized that wasn’t the case. Such a vast place, all belonged to the Shen family.

At each place, she was amazed; there were so many things she had never even seen before.

A golf course, which she initially thought was a rat hole; a swimming pool, which she initially thought was a swamp; an Eight-treasure golden silk nanmu brocade box, which she initially thought was for holding eight-treasure porridge.

“Auntie Zhou, your house is so beautiful. Will I be living here from now on?”

“Of course, you will live here permanently. Do you like it?”

“I like it.”

Just as Xu Chaomu’s words fell, a cold, deep voice came from behind, “Who is she?”

Xu Chaomu turned her head first and saw a man around Auntie Zhou’s age. The man’s face was expressionless, only showing a hint of surprise when Xu Chaomu turned around.

“Xu Chaomu, Xu Mengxi’s daughter. You wouldn’t be unwelcoming, would you?” Zhou Ran also turned around, with an imperceptible smile at the corner of her mouth.

“Zhou Ran, you’ve really got some nerve. It seems I’ve underestimated you,” the man sneered coldly, his face clouded with shadows.

Xu Chaomu didn’t understand what they were saying. Who was this man?

“Chaomu, first go outside, I’ll show you the room later,” Zhou Ran bent down and told Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu nodded and followed the servant out of the garden.

“Who was that man just now?” Xu Chaomu tugged at the servant’s sleeve and asked quietly.

“That’s the master, you be careful, he has a bad temper,” the servant warned her.

“I got it.” Xu Chaomu stuck out her tongue, so that was Shen Chi’s father, no wonder, like father, like son.

“Zhou Ran! Why did you bring Mengxi’s daughter to the Shen Family?” Once there was no one around, Shen Cexian asked coldly.

“You don’t like it? Oh, right, of course, you don’t, I’ve heard this Xu Chaomu is an illegitimate daughter. But Shen Cexian, I’ve already brought her here, what are you going to do about it?”

Zhou Ran coldly smiled at Shen Cexian, unafraid.

“Zhou Ran, you play a good game. But let me tell you, I’ve already had the lawyers draft a divorce document. Just wait for the signature, and get out of the Shen family!”

Shen Cexian did not mince words, dropping the statement and storming out!

Watching the cold back of this man, Zhou Ran bit her lips hard, he wouldn’t let her live comfortably, and she wasn’t going to let him be smug either!
