Chapter 14: Carry Me out of the Car

Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On the fourth day after Xu Zhaomu’s arrival in the Shen family, Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian started the court proceedings for their divorce.

Shen Chi didn’t go anywhere. He stood on the balcony of the Shen family villa alone. He stood there silently the whole time.

A maid sent Xu Zhaomu to school. When she returned, she caught sight of a red car parked at the entrance of the Shen residence.

At that time, the sky had already started to become dark. The setting sun shone on the ground, staining its surface a mixture of orange and yellow.

The wind blew, causing the trees to sway and rattle. Birds squawked as they soared in the sky above. They took off from the trees and flew toward the distant sky.

The driver, Old Jiang, was the one who had fetched Xu Zhaomu back home after school. He was just about to park his car at the entrance when the woman who owned the red car walked out.

The woman had a thick layer of makeup on her face. She wore a long coat made out of fox fur that paired perfectly with her seductively long hair. She strutted over to them in a pair of stilettos.

“Move over to the side. Why are you parking perpendicularly in front of my car?” The woman’s red lips parted as she spoke to Old Jiang in a condescending tone.

Xu Zhaomu was furious. Did this woman have crooked eyes? How was their car parked perpendicularly to her car?

Old Jiang, however, smiled apologetically. “Okay, I’ll drive the car into the garage right now.”

“My apologies, the garage is already full. Go and find somewhere else to park.” The woman smirked ambiguously, with arrogance written all over her face.

Old Jiang frowned. The Shen family’s garage was huge. It was impossible for it to be full. From the looks of it, this was a show of power.

At that moment, Shen Chi walked out. He had heard every word of what this woman had said.

“Who said you were allowed to park in the Shen family’s garage?” Shen Chi walked up to the woman. His sharp eyes glared at her imposingly, without a trace of anger on his face.

“This must be Shen Chi? Don’t you know who the mistress of the Shen family is going to be now?” The woman strutted around in her high heels. Her arms were folded in front of her, and her face was brimming with disdain.

Xu Zhaomu did not understand what this woman was talking about. This madwoman had popped up out of nowhere.

“This villa belongs to the Shen’s, not someone called Liu!” Shen Chi’s lips slipped into a cold smile.

“Oh! You really know how to talk big. Today, Zhou Ran moved out of the Shen residence like a pitiful dog. Shen Chi, won’t you be the next one? Oh, and Shen Di, that older sister of yours.”

“As long as I’m in the Shen family, you won’t amount to anything, Liu Rumei!”

Shen Chi stopped engaging in her nonsensical war of words. He gestured to Old Jiang with his eyes. Old Jiang nodded and got out of the driver’s seat.

When Xu Zhaomu saw how arrogant this woman was, she stuck out her head and stuck out her tongue at her. “Even Big White behaves better than you do.”

“Where did this youngster come from?” The woman didn’t dare to do anything to Shen Chi. However, this little girl had dared to ridicule her. She couldn’t tolerate this.

“Liu Rumei, I’ll count to three. If you take your car away, I won’t pursue this matter. If you fail to do so, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Shen Chi started the engine of the car. His eyes were burning like a torch as he glared piercingly at the red BMW before him.

Xu Zhaomu was itching for some action. Before Shen Chi could even say a word, she shouted, “One!”

“You! You guys!” The woman pointed at Xu Zhaomu and Shen Chi. She was so incensed that her face turned white.

“Put on your seatbelt! Sit up properly!” Shen Chi concentrated and threw Xu Zhaomu a look.

“Okay!” Xu Zhaomu lowered her head and fastened her seatbelt. She grinned at Shen Chi and lifted her tiny face before exclaiming, “Two!”

Shen Chi was already stepping on the gas pedal. The setting sun filtered through the windows, staining his white shirt gold.

He had always been a man of few words and expressions, and yet a trace of anger seemed to have surfaced on his well-sculpted face. His eyes stared fixedly in front of him, and his entire body emanated an icy aura. The frostiness he emitted was even colder than the wintry cold of December.

“Three!” Xu Zhaomu shouted.

The moment she said this, Shen Chi stepped onto the accelerator with no hesitation.

The woman standing in front of the car hastily moved aside. She stumbled and her high heels flew right off. She also sprained her ankle in the process.

“Are you guys trying to kill someone? Shen Chi, stop the car right now,” the woman bellowed.

Shen Chi pursed his lips. He aimed straight at the bonnet of the red BMW.

“Close your eyes!” Shen Chi instructed Xu Zhaomu.

Xu Zhaomu shut her eyes hastily and plugged her ears.

Soon a loud bang could be heard. The black Hummer collided into the red BMW. The BMW’s bumper was instantly destroyed.

Xu Zhaomu’s heart seemed to tremble. She only opened her eyes once she couldn’t hear anything else.

She was greeted by the sight of utter mayhem. The bonnet of the red BMW had been completely wrecked and was an indescribable mess. On the contrary, the black Hummer came out completely unscathed. Nothing seemed to have happened to it.

“Shen Chi, you’re crazy! My car!” The woman ran over in anguish.

When Xu Zhaomu saw the bawling woman, she winked at Shen Chi. “Big brother Shen Chi, I suddenly feel like prostrating myself before you. What should I do?”

“If you don’t listen to me, this is what will happen to you,” Shen Chi said nonchalantly.

“……” Xu Zhaomu’s flattery had backfired.

Shen Chi turned the steering wheel and reversed the black Hummer toward the Shen residence. Then he drove straight toward the garage.

Once the car came to a steady stop in the garage, Shen Chi unfastened his seatbelt.

“Shen Chi, who is that woman? Where is Auntie Zhou? Why did she say that she was the mistress of this place?”

“It was never her place to be the mistress.” Shen Chi sneered as he opened the car door.

“I also thought so. It is impossible, Auntie Zhou is the mistress.” Xu Zhaomu started her flattery once more.

Shen Chi slammed the car door shut with a bang. He did not turn back.

“Hey! My legs are numb. Shen Chi, wait for me!” Xu Zhaomu hadn’t even managed to remove her seatbelt yet.

Given Shen Chi’s personality, Xu Zhaomu assumed that he would ignore her. However, he paused after taking a few steps. He frowned and walked back to her, opening the door of the passenger seat.

“The seatbelt is stuck. Hey, why won’t it unravel…” The more Xu Zhaomu tried to loosen the belt, the more confused she got.

“Even Big White is smarter than you!” Shen Chi was exasperated. He had no choice but to personally help her unfasten it.

The instant the seatbelt was unfastened, Xu Zhaomu stretched out her arms. “My legs are numb, carry me out of the car, please.”

She had already tossed the argument she had had with Shen Chi to the back of her mind. In the presence of a common enemy, she would stand by his side.

Xu Zhaomu assumed that Shen Chi would shove her away as he usually did. Unexpectedly, he stretched out his arms and scooped her out of the passenger seat.

This was Xu Zhaomu’s first time being carried in Shen Chi’s arms. She could smell a faint and unique fragrance emanating from his body. The scent resembled tea, as well as the smell of freshly cut grass. In any case, the fragrance was faint and pleasant.

“Big brother Shen Chi, I will stand by your side. I will not hesitate to tread through fire for you and sacrifice my life, even if my bones are crushed into 1,000 pieces.”

Xu Zhaomu started to butter him up again. Shen Chi merely harrumphed coldly.

“Really. I will stand by your side forever. As long as you tell me to head east, I definitely will not wander to the west.” Xu Zhaomu made a solemn vow.

“Who was the one who stormed off after swearing at me?” The corner of Shen Chi’s lips slipped into a cold smirk.

“Hee, hee, I think it was Big White.”

Not far away, Big White sneezed in his cage. It seemed to have sniffed out the scent of a vile and nasty person.

Shen Chi carried Xu Zhaomu to her room. Xu Zhaomu suddenly recalled the great cause she had undertaken.

To kiss him once!

Kiss him!

As Xu Zhaomu stared straight ahead at his clean, handsome face, she started to count slowly to herself.

One!

Two!

Before she could count to three, Shen Chi tossed her roughly onto the bed.

“Aiya, it hurts…” Xu Zhaomu was speechless. Was Shen Chi really a man? Why didn’t this man know how to cherish a delicate woman.

She scratched her head and felt rather bitter.
