On Xu Chaomu’s fourth day at Shen Family’s house, the divorce lawsuit between Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian started.

Shen Chi didn’t go anywhere and stood alone on the terrace of the Shen Family’s villa, silent and speechless.

Xu Chaomu was sent to school by domestic help, and when she returned home, she happened to see a red car parked at the Shen Family’s doorstep.

By that time, it was already late, and the setting sun dyed the earth with a layer of orange.

When the wind blew, the withered trees trembled lightly, making a hissing sound. The birds suddenly took flight with a whoosh, flying from the trees to the farther sky.

It was Driver Lao Jiang who picked up Xu Chaomu, and just as their car was about to stop at the entrance, the woman from the red car came out.

The woman wore thick makeup, was clad in a gray fox fur coat, had sexy long hair, and strode over in high heels.

“Park a little to the side, why are you blocking our way!” The woman’s red lips moved as she said haughtily to Old Jiang.

Xu Chaomu was angry; was this woman blind? How was their car blocking the way?

However, it was Old Jiang who offered a placating smile, “Yes, yes, we will move the car to the garage right away.”

“Sorry, the garage is already full. Find yourself another spot,” said the woman with a half-smile, full of pride.

Old Jiang frowned. The Shen Family’s garage was so spacious, how could it be full? It seemed like this was a deliberate power play.

At that moment, Shen Chi came out, and all the woman’s words fell into his ears.

“Who allowed you to park in the Shen Family’s garage?” Shen Chi stood in front of the woman, his sharp eyes bearing down on her with a commanding aura.

“So this is Shen Chi. Don’t you know who will be the lady of the Shen Family from now on?” The woman said scornfully, as she strutted around in her high heels, arms folded.

Xu Chaomu didn’t understand what the woman was talking about; where did this crazy person come from?

“This villa is named ‘Shen’, not ‘Liu!'” There was a cold smirk on Shen Chi’s lips.

“Oh, such a big talker. I saw Zhou Ran moving out of the Shen estate like a drowned rat today; maybe you, Shen Chi, will be the next, oh, and your sister Shen Di.”

“As long as I’m in the Shen Family for one day, you, Liu Rumei, are nothing!”

Shen Chi, no longer engaging in pointless conversation, gave Old Jiang a look, and Old Jiang nodded, stepping out of the driver’s seat.

Xu Chaomu, not fearing the chaos, stuck her head out and made a face at the woman, “Even Dabai has more sense than you!”

“Who’s this brat?” Unable to take it out on Shen Chi, the woman couldn’t stand being ridiculed by the girl either, and her face couldn’t hold the expression.

“Liu Rumei, I’ll count to three. Move your car, and I’ll let it pass. If you don’t, don’t blame me for being unkind!”

Shen Chi started the car, his gaze as piercing as ever, eyes sharply fixed on the red BMW ahead.

Xu Chaomu, loving the drama, didn’t wait for Shen Chi to speak, she shouted, “One!”

“You! You two!” The woman pointed at Xu Chaomu and Shen Chi, her face turning white with anger.

“Buckle up! Sit tight!” Shen Chi frowned and glanced at Xu Chaomu.

“Oh!” Xu Chaomu quickly buckled her seatbelt, smiled at Shen Chi, and then, lifting her face, she shouted loudly, “Two!”

Shen Chi’s foot was already on the accelerator, the setting sun shining through the window, turning his white shirt a golden yellow.

His expression was serious, his chiseled facial features revealing a thin layer of anger. His eyes were focused ahead, and his whole body exuded a chill that seemed even colder than the late December weather.

“Three!” Xu Chaomu shouted.

As soon as the word left her lips, Shen Chi pressed down on the accelerator without hesitation.

The woman standing in front of the car hurriedly dodged, falling and scrambling away, her high heels flying off and her ankle twisting.

“Are you trying to murder someone? Stop the car, Shen Chi!” The woman yelled.

Shen Chi pursed his lips and aimed the car at the red BMW’s bonnet!

“Close your eyes!” Shen Chi ordered Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu quickly closed her eyes and covered her ears.

A loud “bang” resounded as the black Hummer collided with the red BMW, the BMW’s bumper instantly wrecked! The headlights shattered to pieces, debris flying everywhere!

Xu Chaomu’s heart skipped a beat, and only after the noise ceased did she slowly open her eyes.

A scene of disarray lay before her, the front end of the red BMW was now unrecognizable from the collision, while the black Hummer remained unscathed, not a scratch on it.

“Shen Chi, have you lost your mind! My car!” the woman exclaimed, running over in distress.

Xu Chaomu watched the woman wailing tragically and gave Shen Chi a knowing look, “Brother Shen Chi, I suddenly have such admiration for you, what should I do?”

“If you don’t behave in the future, you’ll end up just like her!” Shen Chi said indifferently.

“…” Xu Chaomu found her flattery had backfired.

Shen Chi steered the wheel, turned the Hummer around, and drove straight towards the Shen Family mansion, heading directly for the garage!

He parked the vehicle steadily in the garage before finally unbuckling his seatbelt.

“Brother Shen Chi, who is that woman? Where’s Aunt Zhou? Why did she say she’s the lady of the house?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“Since when did it become her turn to be the lady of the house,” sneered Shen Chi as he opened the car door.

“I thought the same, how could it be her, Aunt Zhou is the real lady of this house!” Xu Chaomu resumed her flattery.

With a “bang,” Shen Chi closed the car door and didn’t look back.

“Hey! My legs are numb! Brother Shen Chi! Wait for me!” Xu Chaomu had not yet unbuckled her seatbelt.

Xu Chaomu thought Shen Chi, with his personality, would certainly ignore her. However, after walking a few steps, he paused, frowned, and came back to her door, opening the passenger-side door.

“The seatbelt is tangled up, ah, I can’t get it off, can’t get it off…” Xu Chaomu became more confused as she fumbled with it.

“Even Dabai is smarter than you!” Shen Chi said helplessly and took it upon himself to unbuckle her.

As the seatbelt came undone, Xu Chaomu stretched out her arms, “My legs are numb, you should carry me out of the car!”

She had already thrown the argument from the day before yesterday with Shen Chi to the back of her mind; in the face of an external enemy, she was on his side!

Xu Chaomu was ready for Shen Chi to push her away as usual, but instead, he scooped her up from the passenger seat in one swift move.

For the first time, Xu Chaomu found herself in Shen Chi’s arms, inhaling his unique fresh scent, like green tea mixed with the smell of grass – light and pleasant.

“Brother Shen Chi, I’m on your side, ready to go through fire and water, to lay down my life, spare no effort at all!”

Xu Chaomu started with her flatteries again, and Shen Chi snorted coldly.

“Really, I’ll always be on your side, if you say to go east, I’ll never go west!” Xu Chaomu promised earnestly.

“Who was that person who got chewed out and kicked out two days ago?” Shen Chi’s lips curled into a cold smirk.

“Heh, seems like it was Dabai.”

From a distance, Dabai in his cage sneezed, the air seemingly filled with the presence of a sneaky individual.

Carrying Xu Chaomu towards the bedroom, Shen Chi moved on, while Xu Chaomu suddenly remembered her grand undertaking.

To give him a kiss!

To kiss him!

Xu Chaomu eyed his handsome, clean cheek and counted silently in her head.

One!

Two!

Before she could mentally count to “three,” Shen Chi flung her onto the bed with force.

“Ouch, that hurts…” Xu Chaomu was speechless, thinking how ungentlemanly Shen Chi was. Couldn’t he treat her with a bit more tenderness and care?

She rubbed her little head, her face reflecting a look of aggrieved innocence.
