Chapter 190: Chapter 190: The Show Has Just Begun
“You promised?” Shaochen’s hand on her little face paused, and his expression darkened.
“Don’t you think Mrs. Sheng is that foolish?” Shu said with a coy smile, wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on his brooding face.
Shaochen frowned, his slightly rough fingertips grazing her small red lips before he responded with a deep kiss.
Shu was kissed until her chest heaved with uneven breaths, her cheeks flushed to the point of almost bleeding, gasping for air before she finally regained some composure.
She looked at him steadily, “It was you who put pressure on him from behind, wasn’t it?”
It was only now that she truly understood the meaning behind Shaochen’s words that “Ye Xinyu’s window is about to close.”
It was much more than just striking a blow against Ye Shengli; Shaochen had delivered a devastating hit.
Ye Shengli must be out of his wits by now, panicked and helpless, right?
And she had once misunderstood him as a greedy and cunning businessman… At this thought, Shu felt her ears burn with embarrassment.
She owed him an apology…
Shaochen watched her little face change rapidly, his mood lifting delightfully.
His girl had finally understood all that he had done for her silently.
Their foreheads touched, he rubbed them gently, and a husky voice said, “The real show has just begun.”
“…” Shu’s heart thumped wildly under his predatory gaze.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with images of Shaochen sliding deep into her heart.
Shu suddenly widened her eyes, feeling a strangely embarrassing sensation as if someone had glimpsed into the privacy of her heart, and clumsily reached out to push him away, “The phone, hurry… answer it quickly.”
Shaochen’s hawkish eyes were fixed on her, as if wanting to see right through her.
Shu’s little heart felt as if it had been seized, pounding erratically.
She bowed her head in haste, not daring to speak further.
The air was thick with tension and an implicit intimacy.
The silence around them made hearts race with unease.
Only the persistent ringing of the phone on the bedside table seemed unwilling to give up, as if intentionally interrupting their intimate moment.
Shu was so mortified that she dared not lift her head, stealing glances at Shaochen instead.
His expression was grim, and impatience flickered in his eyes.
After a long while, he finally reached out to take the phone from the bedside table, intending to turn it off, but upon seeing the caller ID, he frowned and ultimately answered the call.
As soon as he connected, Bai Yueru’s voice came through, “You rascal, leaving without even a word to mommy, where’s your wife?”
“On the bed!” Shaochen replied candidly.
There was a pause on the other end of the phone… Shu, overwhelmed by embarrassment, snatched the comforter and covered her head.
Mr. Sheng fierce as a tiger—Whimper, whimper, whimper, she hadn’t even officially set foot in the Sheng Family’s door, and she had already lost all face in front of her mother-in-law.
“Well… then you carry on… exert a little more effort, and try to let mommy hold a grandchild sooner…” After a while, Yueru finally regained her composure, laughing especially heartily.
