Chapter 911 -911: Don’t Let Her Know I Was Here

The little servant was filled with confusion, indecision plaguing her thoughts.

Shen Chi in the car hadn’t been sleeping soundly, and on top of that, he had a headache. He had only dozed off slightly.

Now furrowing his brows, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw a little servant standing at the door, looking down as if in contemplation, occasionally glancing in his direction.

Shen Chi glanced at his wristwatch, noting it was already seven in the morning.

He got out of the car and stood beside it.

The air in the early morning was exceptionally fresh. Just stepping out of the car, a wave of mist hit his face. Shen Chi composed himself and turned towards the entrance.

“Fourth Young Master!” The little servant finally noticed Shen Chi, quickly bowing her head respectfully and greeted, “Good morning.”

“Mm.”

Shen Chi stopped at the doorway and asked indifferently, “Is the Fourth Young Madam here?”

“Yes, yes, she’s in the bedroom sleeping. It isn’t time for her to wake up yet.”

“I see,” Shen Chi nodded.

He walked from the doorway into the Waterside Pavilion, heading straight for the staircase.

The little servant dared not even breathe too loudly. As Shen Chi approached, she caught a strong scent of tobacco, and… she saw the fatigue on Shen Chi’s face, dark circles apparent under his eyes.

At this hour, shouldn’t Shen Chi be in Los Angeles?

Moreover, when did this car park in front of the Waterside Pavilion?

The little servant’s face was full of confusion, but she couldn’t guess what was happening and dared not ask.

After Shen Chi entered the living room, he made his way up the stairs toward the bedroom, treading lightly, fearful of waking Xu Chaomu.

Pausing at the bedroom door, he gently pushed it open.

Indeed, the bedroom was still dark, only a sliver of light seeped through the thick curtains, faintly illuminating the room.

Shen Chi walked to Xu Chaomu’s bedside and saw her peacefully asleep.

In sleep, Xu Chaomu appeared naturally harmless and gentle, lovely, with her eyes closed and breathing evenly, her hands gripping the blanket without a sense of security.

Seeing Xu Chaomu like this, Shen Chi’s lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile, forming a gentle arc.

He moved closer to the bed and saw that beside her pillow was the cloth doll.

The doll, with a careless grin, lay beside her pillow, as if guarding her through the night.

Shen Chi bent down, his hand touching Xu Chaomu’s face.

Perhaps the smell of tobacco on him was too strong; he saw her frown slightly.

His hand was very cool, so he merely brushed her cheek with the tip of his finger before quickly pulling back.

His hand landed on the cloth doll by her pillow; he pinched the doll, and the corners of his mouth lifted involuntarily.

Xu Chaomu slept quietly, her delicate face void of emotion, and her long eyelashes cast twin rows of faint shadows on her eyelids.

Shen Chi didn’t disturb her and sat by her bed for a long while.

This time, she didn’t talk in her sleep and was deeply asleep.

About half an hour later, Shen Chi stood up and left her bedroom.

“Fourth Young Master, have you had breakfast?” the little servant asked from the living room.

Shen Chi had already come downstairs and replied indifferently, “No need, don’t let her know I was here.”

“Ah? Okay.” The little servant dared not ask any more questions and simply agreed.

Shen Chi left the Waterside Pavilion, took one last look back, then returned to his own car.

The young servant sent him out and said, “Fourth Young Master, the fog is heavy this morning, please be careful while driving.”

Shen Chi didn’t say anything, closed the car door, started the car, and left the Waterside Pavilion.

He didn’t return to the Shen Family’s home, but went to Ji Shengxuan’s place instead.

Ji Shengxuan had told him earlier that there was a project they could hand over to Shen’s, but it required a personal discussion.

Shen Chi had been quite busy lately and hadn’t found the time to meet with Ji Shengxuan.

Now was perfect; he had come back from Los Angeles earlier than planned and wasn’t in a rush to return to Shen’s, so there was nothing better than taking a trip to Ji Shengxuan’s.

With that thought, he drove towards Ji Shengxuan’s house.

Ji Shengxuan’s villa was by the seaside, and Shen Chi hadn’t visited many times, but it had left a deep impression on him.

It was a beautiful villa situated along the coastline, with a diverse seascape visible from the villa’s floor-to-ceiling windows and a prime location. He heard that the villa’s design had been specifically entrusted to an expert from Germany.

When Shen Chi drove up to Ji Shengxuan’s home, it was just after eight in the morning.

Great, he could mooch off Ji Shengxuan’s breakfast.

Upon arriving at Ji Shengxuan’s place, Shen Chi parked the car and gave Ji Shengxuan a call.

Ji Shengxuan was indeed having breakfast and was quite surprised to receive Shen Chi’s call.

However, Ji Shengxuan still came out to greet Shen Chi himself.

“President Shen, what brings you to my place today? So early too, I’m really flattered.”

Ji Shengxuan, dressed casually in a baseball outfit, was young and handsome, with an elegance and charm to his every move.

“Nowhere else to go,” Shen Chi said indifferently, glancing at him.

“If someone else told me that, I might believe them. But coming from you, President Shen, do you think I can believe that?” Ji Shengxuan squinted his eyes and spoke.

Ji Shengxuan looked at Shen Chi, having not seen the man for quite a while. He’d heard he was away on a business trip, but how had he come back so soon? And with such a tired expression.

“I’m borrowing your place for a nap, and when I wake up, let’s talk about that East Circle business district project,” Shen Chi said.

“Ah, that matter. I thought you, President Shen, wouldn’t care about such a small project given your wealth and prestige.”

“We’ll talk after I wake up. Which room can I borrow?”

Ji Shengxuan saw the exhaustion on Shen Chi’s face, looking like he hadn’t slept all night, and curiously asked, “What’s the matter, did the Mrs. kick you out?”

“Don’t ask about what you shouldn’t,” Shen Chi warned him.

“All right, no questions asked. Go upstairs and turn left, it’s the second room. The key is in the door,” Ji Shengxuan said. “Do you need to eat something for breakfast?”

“No need, keep it.”

Shen Chi was extremely tired at the moment. He didn’t even want to say one more word than necessary; he just wanted to sleep soundly.

He had suffered from a headache all of last night, and although it felt somewhat better this morning, he still experienced occasional throbbing pain.

“By the way, do you have any medicine for headaches at home?” Shen Chi asked.

“Yes, I’ll have someone bring it to you.”

Ji Shengxuan called over a servant, spoke a few words to her, and she nodded and then went off to a room.

Shen Chi patted his shoulder and said with a smile, “Thanks.”

“You get some sleep. I have to go to the club for a bit. When I come back, we’ll talk about the East Circle business district project in more detail. I think, if we join forces, we can definitely secure the rights to use that plot of land,” Ji Shengxuan said confidently.

“Hmm,” Shen Chi was quite confident too, “You go ahead.”

Having said that, Shen Chi headed straight upstairs.

The Ji Family’s mansion was luxuriously decorated, but the luxury had an understated and restrained feel to it, very much like Ji Shengxuan’s character. Western paintings hung next to the spiral staircase leading upstairs, and several rare green plants were placed at the end of the stairs.
