Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Brother Four, Your Ring Looks Great (Extra Update)

“Butler Ling, I have a lot of homework today, so please bring my meal to my room. I’ll eat while doing my homework.”

Butler Ling rarely saw Chaomu so earnest and was quite pleased, “Alright, I’ll serve it upstairs for you. Eat slowly, there’s no rush to start writing after you’ve finished.’

Having said that, Butler Ling was ready to head to the kitchen.

However, Shen Chi walked in and gave Chaomu a cold look, “No manners. If you want to eat, come down to eat, or else go hungry!”

“Rules are dead, people are alive. The rules of the Shen Family are set by you, Fourth Brother. If you disagree, it’s because you’re just trying to make things difficult for me.” Chaomu was not afraid of him.

“Well, I’ll see who dares to bring you your meal today.” Shen Chi glared at her with a piercing gaze.

Butler Ling was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to go or stay.

Chaomu, furious, stormed upstairs, “I’d rather not eat at all. You’re just giving me trouble on purpose. Let me tell you, you won’t starve me, I’ll jump around just to show you!”

After speaking, she bounced upstairs.

Actually, her heart felt bitter. Who was she showing these rules to?

Before she could return to her room, Butler Ling pleaded quietly with Shen Chi, “Young Master, Miss Chaomu will be hungry. I’ll make her a few dishes. She was just complaining of hunger earlier.”

“If you keep spoiling her like this, sooner or later, the Shen Family will turn upside down. She doesn’t understand discipline,” Shen Chi said coldly.

“Err…” Butler Ling was at a loss for words and couldn’t help but grumble inwardly, wasn’t it Fourth Young Master who spoiled her in the first place? Chaomu heard everything. He had known her not just from today, and he knew that she didn’t understand manners.

She didn’t see why she should listen to him at every turn, having been subjugated by him for so many years; she’d been humiliated enough.

But what to do about this hunger?

Thus, Chaomu started searching through the cupboards for snacks. After a lot of effort, she found a few pieces of bread, ate them hurriedly, and resumed her homework.

Yet, damn it, this man was truly heartless.

She heard him dining with Bai Man downstairs, but he never allowed Butler Ling to bring her any food.

Butler Ling felt sorry for Chaomu and kept giving Shen Chi hints both openly and covertly, but Shen Chi pretended not to hear them.

After the meal, Shen Chi sat on the living room couch with Bai Man to watch

Bai Man snuggled against Shen Chi, resting her head on his shoulder. She made herself a milkshake and watched intently, biting the straw.

“Shen Chi, look, this actress is a good friend of mine. I asked her to be my bridesmaid when I got married. Do you like her?”

Bai Man pointed to an actress on the screen, her smile blossoming. She tilted her head to look at Shen Chi with tender eyes.

She loved looking at this man—his face had an indescribable maturity and handsomeness. After knowing him for over a decade, she would finally be marrying him soon.

“How could one bridesmaid ever be enough,” Shen Chi curved his lips in a small smile.

Bai Man laughed, “I have other girlfriends too. I’ll invite them so they can join me by my side.”

“Hmm.”

“Hey, Shen Chi, when should we collect our marriage certificate?”

“We’ll talk about it after the engagement. I have to take a trip to South Africa soon. ”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you. I heard that diamonds from South Africa are big and beautiful. Can you pick a nice one for me?” Bai Man looked expectantly at Shen Chi.

The soft lighting fell on her face, making her complexion look even more porcelain, delicate to the point of being irresistible. Her large eyes shone brighter as well.

“Hmm.”

Bai Man wrapped her arms around his waist, cuddling against his chest with a face full of bliss, “I knew you are good to me. I will wait at home for you to return as soon as possible.”

Despite what was playing on TV, Bai Man had no interest in watching. She only knew that when she nestled against this man’s chest, she felt warm and secure.

But Shen Chi, as usual, was lukewarm. He watched the TV without showing much emotion on his face.

Chaomu twisted open the doorknob and came downstairs looking for something to eat. Just reaching the top of the stairs, she saw the cozy couple in the living room.

Her first reaction was to freeze, a wave of sourness washing over her heart…

Her second reaction: spit—couldn’t they show off their love in their room?

So, she put on an unconcerned expression, humming a tune, and walked down the stairs as if nothing was amiss.

Shen Chi and Bai Man both heard her footsteps and turned to look.

“Chaomu, you’re not asleep yet?” Bai Man greeted with a beaming smile, maintaining her poise.

Chaomu, without looking up, said, “Just act like I’m air and carry on. No need to feel embarrassed, just keep the volume down. Though I’d suggest doing it in your room—the living room couch is too small and might dampen your enthusiasm.”

After she spoke, she tried to slip by them like a mouse.

Yet her escape didn’t succeed as Shen Chi grabbed her collar from behind.

“What are you doing coming downstairs? Finished your homework? Mind your own business!”

Shen Chi’s voice was as deep and harsh as ever.

“I just came down to get a glass of water, Fourth Brother. You’re practically a tyrant,” Chaomu complained loudly.

Bai Man laughed and interceded on behalf of Chaomu, “Don’t be angry with her. Chaomu is no child; she understands moderation. She’s just joking around with us.”

“Fourth Brother, in light of Miss Bai’s words, let me go. Otherwise, she might think you have a tendency for domestic violence.”

Only then did Shen Chi let go, “Get lost upstairs!”

Chaomu straightened her clothes, huffing disapprovingly, “You think I’m scared of you.”

However, as she lowered her head for a moment, she noticed the ring on Shen Chi’s ring finger.

A simple ring, yet it made Shen Chi appear all the more mature and extraordinary, with his long fingers adding to his appearance.

She couldn’t help but take another glance.

For some reason, her heart throbbed painfully.

But she looked up with a smile, cheeky as ever.

“Fourth Brother, your ring is really nice. How much did it cost?”

Now Shen Chi understood what she had been looking at just now. He snorted coldly, “Worth more than you.”

Being used to his biting tongue didn’t prepare Chaomu for the absence of any desire to retort. The bitterness in her heart was spreading like the taste of bitter melon, threatening to bring her tears the longer she stayed in the living room.

She thought she must be hexed.

Bai Man laughed, clinging to Shen Chi’s arm with a hint of coquettishness,

“You’re teasing Chaomu again.”

“What tease,” Chaomu said indifferently. “He just finds me disagreeable. If he were mad at someone else, like you Miss Bai, you’d surely be upset. But it’s different with me. He could scold me or hit me, and I wouldn’t dare harbor resentment. After all, I rely on him for food. To put it unpleasantly, I’m just a pet he keeps. To be even cruder, I’m just like a stray girl begging for food in the Shen Family, no different from a beggar on the street.”

“Is that what you call not harboring any resentment?” Shen Chi’s tone turned hostile.

Her words struck a chord, making him feel uncomfortable. “Did I say something wrong?” Chaomu looked at him..
